We had a reputation lamong the

casionally doubtful about the exact

The First POrterhOuse Steak.

De Voc says the origin of the name
"porterhouse" took place about the
year 1914. Martin Morrison kept a
porter house (porter and ale house,,
located at that period at No. 327 Pearl
street, New York. In 1903 he opened
porter house" at No. As Cherry
street, resort for New York pilots of
those days. Here they followed the
English custom of eating a cold or
hot lunch with pot of ale or porter.
Business had been brisk one day,
and, not being able to supply the de-
mand for steaks, Morrison cut ana
sawed off steak through the bone
from the sirloin roast he was about to
cook for his own dinner. This he
served as steak to one Of the pilots,
wh0immediately told his companions
about his good lnck.
The%teak was new one on Thomas
Gibbons, the then leading butcher in
the old Fly Market Up to this time
the sjrloin had only been used for
roasting purposes, but when Morrison
continued to call for the sirloin, cut
into steaks, Gibbons christencd them
''porter house" steaks, because they
were served at Morrison's porter
house. Twentieth Century Cookery.

Sells Her Skin at Dollar an Inch.

A young woman living on Mission
street makes living by selling her
skin for grating purposes. A year
ago she first contributed II little skin
to n friend who was in need of whole
hide, and, finding that she could stand
the pain and that her skin was purti-
cularly healthy, she concluded to
profit by it. She sent letter to
nearly every physician and sugeon III
this city and Oakland, calling their
attention to the fact that she had
healthy skin for sale.
Since then the young woman has
had all the orders she could fill at
very reasonable rates. She charges

The Shah's Vast Treasure.

OF all the sovereigns of the world,
the Shah of Persia is said to possess
the largest treasure in Jewels and gold
ornaments, it being valued Mt 500, :
900, 600. The chief object of value is
the old crown of Persian rulers, in the
form of pot of flowers, which is sur
mounted by an uncut ruby the size of
II hens egg. The diamonds III an
other symbol of his rank are said to
weigh almost twenty pounds. There
is also a jeweed sabre, valued at ST.
600, 900. Another thing that the Shah
prizes is a silver vase ornamcnted with
100 emeraIds, whose equals, it is said,
nre not to be found in the world In
the collection there is n cube OF amber
which tradition says fell from heaven
in the days of Mohamet, and insures
the possessor against bodily harm.

An Expensive Haircut.

Occasionally even a pauper has JUS
tice done him under the laws of the
British Empire. A dependent pau
der, one Ferris, was recently sentenced
by Downpatrick, ireland, magistrate,
to imprisonment for month at hard
labor without the formality of pub
lie trial. Ferris's offense was re-
iusal to cut another pauper's hair.
Upon his release Ferris brought
suit against the magistrate for dam
ages for false imprisonment, and a
Jury awarded him a verdict of $500.
Commenting on the verdict, London

this kind, for they are rather apt to
fall into such little illegalities as
that which the worthy Cleland has

A Bae,s Life Work

A writer in the Revue des Sciences
NAturelles has calculated closely the
work that bees do IL collecting honey.
When the weather Is fine bee will
visit from forty 10 eighty flowers dur
ing the day, making from six TO ten
trips from the hive aud back aud stor-
ing altogether about grain of honey.
At this rate II would take single bee
about a quarter of a century to gather a
pound, which Would be stored IN 3, 900
cells. A bees working life Is, however,
only about three weeks, 50 that tue life
work of one bee means but fraction
OF an ounce OF honey. But bees are
no philosophers, aud they do not stop
to grumble because they have TO work
TO store up honey that they will never
eat. A strong hive of bees may num-
Der 80, 900 or 80, 900 members. Part
OF these explore the fields, while the
rest stay at home and store the honey.
The workers will visit altogether 300,
600 to I,OOl, 900 flowers a day, and
under favorable conditions good
hive may lay up two pounds of honey
or more, though the average would be
much lower.

Sound Teeth for Mail Clerks.

Most of the postal clerks in the
smaller offices in England are women.
Candidates must pass an examination.
One of the regulations is that no one
shall be employed who has not abso-
lutely sound teeth, no matter how fit
in other ways for the post. The reason
for this regulation is shrouded in
mystery. To comply with this rule an
English woman the other day ex-
hibited strange heroism. Hav-
ing passed the other tests, the
dentist reported against the condition
of her teeth, stating that two of her
molars were quite hollow and that
twelve others were in stages of decay.
Without hesitation the fair candidate
hurried to the nearest dentists shop,
and at single sitting had extracted
the fourteen teeth that threatened to
terminate her official career. Armed
with fresh certificate, testifying that
her remaining teeth were sound and
in good condition, she again applied
for employment and was appointed. -
