1t has come to be quite the fad
now days for swell young men
with a fondness for bric-d brdc to
confiscate small articles of gla SIS and
china from the table when dining
privately at hotels.
This is such a custom that man.
ayers figure on it when contracting
for large dinners.
One of these artistic young men
was at large dinner in Back Bay
hosiery the other night.
He had cleverly tucked away three
wine glasses, a small spoon and a
coffee cup.
When he was just slipping the sau-
Ger under his coat the big black
waiter who was collecting dishes
came up opposite him with pile of
them about two feet high, and rollin g
his face into genuine Georgia grin
he asked
"Say, boss, doan' yur wanter take
desc along too?"-Boston Post.

THE PARADISE OF RABJES

Japan has been called ethe paradise
of babies.' In many ways it seems
that the Japanese treat their children
more wisely than the more sophisti-
Gated but really less civilized nations
of the West. The babies are born pol
tie. They seem to inherit manners.
There is in all Japan nothing CORES
ponding to our city hoodlum or to the
gamin of Paris. The Japanese child,
even of the poorest parents, has pIen-
ty of pure air, frequent new toys and
the love and attention of the parents.
AS a natural result, when he grows up
he treats his old parents with the ut
most flial respect. No man with chill
dren feels uneasy in Japan because he
has no money laid up for his old age.
The Japanese child is better temp
cred than the American, largely be-
cause he never has meat to eat. His
food is light and simple and his diges-
ton unimpaired by pasty pie crusts
and heavy meat. The politeness is
strong testimony to the theory of the
vegetarian that meat eating brutal
ICES one. Yet that the Japanese who
never tasted meat in their lives are
both strong and plucky the Chinese
are now we'll prepared to testify.
l.. Hearn, after teaching in a large
Jap school for two years, says: have
never had personal knowledge of any
serious quarrel between students, and
have never heard of a fight between
my pupils, and l have taught some 500
young men and boys. He had never
seen man strike another or woman
bullied or a child slapped. Yet the
Japanese, with their perfect courtesy
and sunny kindness, have been from
time immemorial nation of warriors,
always ready to avenge insults in
blood.

THEY ALL HAD THE TWANG.

A correspondent of the National
Tribune tells the story of hero who
still lives in Doniphan county, Kan,
an honored and respected citizen,
His name was Mott Dawson. and
during the war he was a member of
Company A, Seventh Kansas Cavalry.
At one time while he was in Cairo.
ILL.,. he and several of his comrades
went up town for a good, square
meal. They had just sat down to
table in a restaurant when along came
the provost guard and demanded
passes. 1t was mighty seldom that a
Kansas soldier carried a pass, and
the boys didn't have passes on this
occasion. "Come along up to head
quarters, "said the sergeant in charge.
ssNow, look here" said Mott 1--WE
amt doing anything but eating our
di nner, and as soon as we are through
we are going to camp.'' ssNo, that
won't do" and the boys had to leave
their unfinished meal, and, in charge
of one guard, started for headquar-
tiers. Now, every comrade that has
ever been in Cairo knows how the
sidewalks are built to keep out of the
water Well, at the first street cross
ing the guard was on the outside, and
quick as thought, Mott gave him a
push, and awav he went, mu sket and
all, into about four feet of water
stShin out. bOys.D cried Mott. and
away they went for camp.
Early next morning there came a
squad of soldiers in charge of aleu-
tenant to arrest those Seventh Kan
sas boys, and the fellow who got duck
ed was along with them. After look
ng about some time without succe
this soldier said: cpd know my man
right away if could hear him speak;
he talks through his nose" Several
of Motifs comrades heard this, and
one stepping up to the officer and
talking through his nose said: "Well,
I was down town yesterday, but I'll
be - if pushed anybody in the
water" Another one caught on and
said: 81 was down town, too, but I
never saw anybody pushed off the
sidewalk" Several others spoke up
in the same way, when the lieutenant
remarked" 1--WE might as we'll go back
to camp, for the whole -- regiment
talk through their noses," and back
they went.

A young lady living on North Meris
dian street had an experience the
other evening. She was upstairs, and
had just turned out her light when
she heard caller ask for her. She
made a dive for her powder puff in
the dark and busted her face with
powder. She went to the parlor and
found distinguished stranger on
whom she was anxious to make an
impression. He appeared rather
nonplussed at her looks, but being
man of the world, which means a
man wise enough not to tell a woman
her faults, he said nothing. She sat
and chatted gracefully, and had
delightful evening. AS soon as he
had gone she rushed to the mirror, as
every girl does when her beau leaves.
She gave one scream and went off in
to Mysteries, for in her haste and the
dark she had dipped her powder puff
into a box of pulverized charcoal, and
she had the make up of an amateur
colored minstrel. The contrast to her
dainty organdie gown and blonde
hair was very funny, but she will
never smile again.

came along to the gate Of a hu M
BILE cabin in a town of Alabama just
as an old negro handed a couple of
jugs to his son, who was about ten
years of age, and said:
'fNow, Julius, yo' gwan down to the
grocery, an git quart O. 'lasses in
one oh dem jugs and hurry back"
When the boy had gone I said to
the father:
'sYou didn't tell him to get any
thing in the other jug. Is he going to
leave it at the grocery"
'No, gwan to bring it right home, %
he replied.
"But why send two jugs to get
quart of molasses?"
'It's just dis way, sab. If he only
took one jug he'd be powerful suah to
bump it or drop it and lose dem lass
es. If he takes two he's just as liable
to drop the empty one as de 'lasses
one, and dat makes de odds in my ia

Among the amusing discussions
during the legislative session at Tai
lahassee was that on bill of Sulli
vans of Escambia providing for the
prompt slaughter of rabid dogs.
The reading clerk had just read the
title when an old gentleman, a repre-
sentative from one of the interior
counties, arose and with great CRAWL
ty and dignity said: ''Mr. Speaker, L
am opposed to that bill. Pm opposed
to it because [ don't see why rabbit
dogs should be killed any quicker
a rabbit dog. He amt much on looks,
but tell you, when that dog gets on
hot trail in the broom sedge, and
little later you hear his voice a -yelpin'
in high key and the yelps gettin'
fainter and fainter, till by and by you
can just hear 'em down in the holler,
and you go there and you see the little
bench legged yaller rascal barkin', his
eyes bright and his forehead wrinkled
with excitement, under a sartin tree,
jes' get you long pole and meat is
your'n for dinner" There was breath
less silence during this eloquent ap
peal on behalf of the rabbit dog. When
it had been concluded others rose up
and paid glowing tributes to the quail
ties of rabbit dogs they owned until
one would have believed that thing
necessary to a mans candidacy for
the legislature in the state of Florida
is a first class rabbit dog. The bill, by
the way, was killed by large MAORI
ty.-Florida Times Union.

A funny parrot lives in Brooklyn,
and is very fond of the lady she lives
with. When the breakfast bell rings
in the morning, she will push open the
door of her cage with her bill, fly
down to the breakfast table, take her
own chair, which she always knows
and occupies at each meal, and wait
until the family assemble. If they
should not gather as quickly as she
thinks they ought, she will call out,
Hurry up, folks, hurry up" and at
the same time hop over to the oat-
meal dish, and attempt to lift the
cover; for she is very fond of oatmeal
and will make her entire breakfast of
it. She would not touch the oatmeal,
even if able to lift the cover; for she
is very good Polly. After finishing
her breakfast, she flies right back to
her cage.

People would do we'll to bear in
mind the immensely of the area of the
United States when reading of the
terrible stories of ruin and devasta-
ton brought by fire, inundation, cy
clones and drouth that follow rapidly
in one another's wake. Otherwise
they might be tempted to believe
America to be the most afflicted coun-
try on the face of the globe, and par
ticular object to divine wrath. These
frequently at points separated from
one another by thousands of miles
by distances greater than the entire
length or breadth of Europa fact
of which most people lose sight. So
while we extend our sympathy to
those of our fellow citizens in Michi-
gan, who during the last few days
have been seeing their homes, their
villages and even their towns fall
prey to the fires which nearly every
summer spread ruin throughout the
lumber districts of that state, we are
unwilling to admit the contention of
some of our foreign contemporaries
that America is the country above all
others of great cataclysms and the
most afflicted. On the contrary, we say
that there is no nation in the world so
bountifully blessed in every respect
as ours is by nature.

Among the vast and novel enter
prises the close of the nineteenth CEN
tury witnesses is that of building
town to order. Formerly towns were
not made. They just grew. But we
have changed that. Depew, named
for Americas greatest after dinner
orator, shows how town is built. A
stock company is formed, suitable
spot selected, streets are laid Off, sew
ers constructed, gas mains put in,
city park is set apart, trees are plant
ed to form future avenues and then
the public is invited to come, buy lots
and occupy. The public generally
does so. 1t is notable that here as
elsewhere in this age great amount
of capital is required to accomplish
anything. The new city of Depew,
which proposes to make Buffalo one
of it's suburbs, has the distinction OF
being millionaire town. Vanderbilt
and Astor united for once in their
lives over it's foundation walls, and
it's stockholders are millionaires. We
shall see whether it will prove much
better and grander than other towns.
Boys, do not judge man by his cloth
ing. A little incident occurred on one
of the lines of street cars of this city
a few days since which is worthy of
notice. A poorly clad woman entered
the car carrying an infant in her arms.
AS she sat opposite observed she
seemed troubled about something.
When the conductor passed through
the car for the fares she said IN very
low voice, ssPlease, sir, L have no mon
ey: let me ride this time and some
other time will pay you." Il can
hear that story every day." said the
conductor, in a loud, rough voice.
''You can pay or get off," 1.-TWO fares,
please,'' said a pleasant voice, as
toil-worn and sun Drowned hand pass
ed the conductor ten cents. ssHeav-
en- bless you, sir" said the woman,a and
long and silently she wept: the Ian
guage of the heart SO eloquent to ex-
press our hidden thoughts. This man
in worn and soiled garments was one
of Gods noblemen. He possessed a
heart to feel for the woes of others,
and although the act was but tribe,
it proves that we can not, with safety,
Judge man by his clothing For

more Lodge, where the duchess of
Kent died, has since that event been
daily visited by the queen while at
Windsor, and it was, up to recent
dates, one of the most cherries spots

filing in the pond that caused the fin
