TWO WOMEN Al a LUNCH.


1hoy 1onopolised tho Room md OheAinad
Their Moneys vssth.
In lower Broadway there are quick
lunch rooms where busy men resort at
midday for light meal At these places
men, without removing hats or outer
coats, sit on high stools at higher coun-
ters or stand in front Of Bullets and
help themselves to the food arranged for
their convenience. Women are seldom
seen in these rooms, but occasionally a
slight sensation is caused apong patrons
and walters by their appearance.
While I was seated at one Of the coun-
tiers the other day two women with sew
en- packages Of various sizes entered and
while five score or more Of eyes were on
them stepped up to the counter and
asked what the menu was. A polite
waiter answered the question by rat
thing OF the names Ct & couple Of dozen
dishes
''We will have coffee, answered one
Of the women as they climbed onto
stools that didn't allow their feet to
touch the floor and spread out their
packages on the counter.
II have changed my mind and will
take chocolate instead of Coffee said
one when the waiter came with the COT
fee. With a smile on his averted face
the waiter retraced his steps, and when
he returned with the chocolate found
the women had opened one of the seven
packages and displayed six homemade
sandwiches.
'*Will you give US plate and knife?"
asked one.
"And some butter?'' requested the
other
The plate, knife and butter were set
before them.
''Do you furnish pickles with coffee?''
asked one. The answer was a dish of
small choice pickles set in front of them.
''Some water, please?' came from
the same woman.
"And napkins?'' said the other.
They received both water and nap
kins, and all for cents apiece.-New

COuleur de Rose.

There is story told of all English
woman whose husband was in politics.
and who was in consequence obliged
to entertain numerous people in whom
she not only felt no possible interest,
but many of whom were absolutely dis
tasteful to her. It was exceedingly try
ing at times, this being forced to well
come unwelcome visitors with a show
Of cordially, but subtle plan Of re-
venge, which would at the same time
afford her amusement, finally occurred
to her. At the next large dinner that
she and her husband gave the room was
lighted by little electric lights with
colored globes, which were suspended
from the ceiling and hung above the ia
BILE in big circle. Upon such Of the
guests as had been the lady's choice a
soft, rosy light was cast, making men
and women alike appear at their best,
while here and there CHASTITY green rays
fell upon some unfortunate constituent
of her husband who was too much i'm
pressed by the magnifcence of the feast
to have any thought for his or her ap-
pearance.

WHAT AN ADJUSTER CAN DO,
Drummer Learned Something That He
Did Not Know Before.

Drummer Learned Something That He
Did Not Know Before.
The travelling man: IT never knew
just how colossal chump I am until
the other day, when I went out with a
railroad adjuster to settle claim for
damages against his company. An old
farmer had tried to use a crossing Just
as a locomotive needed it, The result
was that his horses were killed, the
wagon knocked into frewood, the har-
ness scattered for half mile along the
track and his pretty young wife SO bro
ken up that she will never walk again.
Well, sir, you should have seen that ad-
juster do business. He gave his victim
big cigar, came out strong on free sill
yer, jollied the farmer into thinking
wheat would bring big price next sea-
son, invited him to take ride on their
railroad whenever he wanted to and
then slid into business.
"The horses, harness and wagon were
discussed, and valuation was agreed
upon. The farmer was then ready to
sign receipt in full, but the adjuster
knew his business, and, after throwing
the old man into commissions with a
few good stories, suddenly suggested, as
though it had just come to his mind,
that it would be too bad not to pay
something for the pretty wife, who was
doomed to spend the rest of her years in
bed. The farmer would be 'gol durned'
if he'd thought Of that, but guessed $25
was not too high figure. He was iOl-
lied down to $15, and when we made
our escape I was blushing from tip to
tip.
ION the way back that fellow began
talking about investing some money
with him in little scheme of his.
just made sure that my watch and pock-
etbook were still with me, jumped over
the front wheel and walked five miles
to the city. If I'm ever wrecked on a
railroad, what's left of me will have a
man with a gun to keep adjusters
away. "-Detroit Free Press.

= Gas From Sawdust.

There are several large lumber mills
in Deseronto, Canada, and the town is
partially lighted by gas obtained from
sawdust from them. The sawdust is
charged in retorts which are heated by
a wood fire. The gas from these retorts
passes into a series of coils and thence
into the purifiers, which are similar to
those used for coal gas. Lime is used as
a purifying agent. The plant is not a
very large one, and it only turns out
$40 meters of gas per day, for which
about two tons Of sawdust are required
A man and boy furnish all the labor
needed at the works. The best quality
Of gas comes from resinous weeds. One
hundred kilogrammes Of sawdust leave
a residue Of 20 kilogrammes of char
coal, and the gas in an ordinary burner
gives an illumination Of about 10 can
die power.-Engineering and Mining

MARRYING FOR MONEY.
Clever Defense of q Much Condemned
Matrimonial Step.

Clever Defense of a Much Condemned
Matrimonial Step.
Among the unnecessarily harsh judg-
ments pronounced upon human actions
may be classed the universal scorn ex-
pressed toward the girl who marries for
money. There are those who do not
hesitate to draw the most odious COM
parsons between such a girl and others
Of her sex, says a writer in Vogue.
Making of love, so called, sort of
fetch, the world defes what is, after
all, but an instinct, as though it were
grander, finer thing than courage or
probity or self denial, or any other real
~ beautiful human trait. It applauds
any insanity committed in the name of
love, provided always that the conven-
tions are observed. Love that leads to
the degraded life of the tenements, to
alliances with the diseased or morally
weak, that throws away years of train
ing in an art Or a science, that breaks
the hearts Of parents of these
things and many as monstrous, are ex-
cused if only "love'' is offered as a rea-
son for their doing
In a world like this, where, in spite
Of countless public and private charities
for the alienation of their suferings
and the permanent lettering of their
conditions, thousands of helpless little
ones expiate by cruel suffering and acute
want their parents scorn Of money con-
siderations in matrimonial alliances, it
cannot surely be wholly reprehensible
to look with favor on moneyed alliances.
Sentiment is, indeed, to be preferred
to sordidness, but the girl who decides
for the decencies as well as the luxu-
ries Of life, for herself and any chill
tlren that may be born to her, by choos-
ing wealth instead Of poverty is not
necessarily sordid, and beautiful though
sentiment may be, when to cherish it
means inevitably life in small, unwhole-
some quarters, the hot, stuffy town for
the children even in their critical Sec
ond summer (since the little home can
not spare the services of it's mistress
nor is there any money to spare for the
seasons needed outing), when-as is
usually the case-sentiment means all
this frightful injustice to little, helpless
beings, the price is too high, and it
ceases to be q virtue

YAyvN@ IN q MAIDEN sPEEch.
An Incident which TJpifes the sIsepins
Of the EnGlish Commous,

An Incident which Typifes the sIeepfnsss
Of tho English Cornnons.
The occasion Of making ones maiden
speech is hardly the time one would ex-
pect a legislator to select for giving
vent to a yawn. It is nevertheless on
record that some 80 years ago, when
the present Duke Of Devonshire, then
Lord Harrington, was making his maid
en- speech in the house Of commons he
visibly yawned, and Mr.. Disrae1i, whose
keen eye noted the occurrence, is ac-
credited with having made the remark
that "a man who can yawn in the midst
Of his maiden speech is capable Of rising
to the highest position in this house,
Since his transference to the upper
house the noble duke has probably found
even more facilities than existed in the
commons for doing.
Mr.. Gladstone used to be a FREQUENT
offender in the same direction. The
Grand Old Man was often lost to all
consciousness Of what was going on
around him, and yet, marvellous to re-
late, after quietly nodding away
through portion of debate, he would
wake up, deliver himself of big, long
yawn, and then make a speech which,
for lucidity and power of argument,
would seem to imply that he had heard
every word that had been spoken
throughout the debate.
Mr.. Chamberlain and Sir William
Harcourt often appear to be fast asleep,
but it is doubtful if either of them ever
really loses touch of what is going On
around him.
The habit Of fitting the hat well over
the eyes and sitting with bowed head
and legs crossed one over the other is
one which appears to find much favor
with large number Of members in each
succeeding house of commons, but it
will always be moot point whether
they really go to sleep or merely "make
believe to-, as children say. At all
events, it is noticeable that they never
seem at loss for a word or sentence
when the time comes for them to rise
up in their places.
Putting all others out of the question,
however, the champion sleeper Of the
house is Sir Richard Temple, who goes
to sleep at all times and under all sorts
Of conditions. At times he appears to
be anxious to ward off the feeling Of
somnolency which is obviously obtain
ing the mastery over him, but the ef-
fort is all in vain and his head will in
sist on falling upon his breast
How, his hat ever remains upon his
head, seeing the dislocatory swerves
and strange movements the latter as
sumes from time to time, is matter
for wOnderment. -Pearson's Weekly.

a Bows Commitment.

It was at Narragansett hotel, where
Mrs. Yznaga, the mother of the Ouch
ess Of Manchester and Lady Lister Kaye,
was spending the summer. There was
the usual crowd Of children in the
house, who were all gathered in their
own particular parlor one rainy day
playing a game the dramatis PERSONA
of which included queen.
$50 the queen went and stayed at a
boarding house, said one child, con-
tinuing her majesty's adventures. An
other, with a more definite idea Of the
habits of royalty, expostulated. "Queens
don't go to boarding houses,'' she said.
Mrs. Yznaga's here and she's a
queen!'' retorted a little boy trium-
phantly. And he really thought it.

Cathode Rays Not as Bright as a Candle
Now, one of the first questions I have
been asked in regard to these rays is
this, "How did you obtain light SO in
tense that you could take photographs
through board an inch thick?'' The
answer is this: The light is not intense
to the eye. 1t does not appear as bright
as that Of freely. Indeed it cannot be
seen on the darkest night at distance
of 800 feet. Yet candle can be dis
tinguished on similar night at least a
mile. But the rays Of a candle are en-
tirely cut off from a Photographic plate
by q sheet of pasteboard . xteenth OF
an inch thick or even less. The cathode
rays are intense, however, to the photo
graphic plate, which can be termed the
Photographic eye. - Professor John

Abigail.

The term "abigail, - as applied to la
dies maids, originated from the Chris
tian name Of Mrs. Masham, better
known as Abigail Masham, at first
waiting maid upon Queen Anne and at
last the intriguing favorite who sup
planted the Duchess of Marlborough in
the good graces of that sovereign.

Birds In Egypt.

It is delightful to note the tameness
of the birds Of Egypt. They enter rooms
and houses through windows and crew
ices left for ventilation, and once inside
hop fearlessly about the floor picking
up stray crumbs. A sparrow often perch
es on the corner of the table during the
progress Of a crowded hotel repast, and
it is not uncommon to see them fitting
across the ceiling of a drawing room at
Luxor: All birds, from the largest to
the smallest, go unmolested unless they
are definitely used for food The great
brown kite sits fearlessly on the roofs
of Cairo, hard by his cousin, the crow,
which is not black, like cur crow, but
is black and gray, and might easily be
mistaken for pigeon. Every large gar
den-at any rate in upper Egypt-has
its owl frequenting a tall palm tree
and hooting or whistling as nature
guides it.-Exchange.
