4 CHANCE w DHsur.

There are sssnng indications that the
@. G. &E. Co. will have down town
depot. The company owns lots on the
corner Of Washington and Water streets,
and. is considering the advisabiiity of
pemodeiing the house now occupied by
VIM. Kisor into a depot, and closing up
the present depot in the. subsrbs.
The change would suit everybody. A
drpot down town would be more con-
venient TO travellers, shippers and bust
ness men,. It would also pseve handler
to railroad men. Farms are all right,
bat are hardly the place for town de-
pots.
The only blood purifser admitted on
exhibition at the Chicago Worlds fair
was Ayers Sarsaparilla, all others being
excluded as secret preparations and pat
ent medicines. With doctors and phar-
rnacists, it has always been considered a
standard remedy.

Senator and Soldiers.

The days when senators aud represent
atives III congress were expected TO
frank letters for private soldiers, re-
counted by Eir. J. n. Watrous of Chicago
in some army "reminiscences, were dan
the military camps.
Mr.. Watrous says that Senator IiEIo-
thy o. Howe of Wisconsin oncc visited
the headquarters of his friend, General
Rufus King, and WAS at the first oppor-
tuunity besicged by the soldiers with
packages OF envelopes to be franlled.
Senator Howe was one Cf the most
good raturcd CT men, and Immediately
sat down i'll TIE tent Cf one Of the cap
tairs and began to frank envelopes hv
the hundred.
- GeDcra! King had made special prep
arations fer q dinner i'll honor of his

dinners that had been given for long
time. Senator Howe had been frankinS

call came for dinner. He went OH writ

go on, King; I'll be there directly"
said the senator.
Dinner was served. The guests had
arrived. No one ate, but after awhile
the colored cook was sent to tell the SEN
ator that the meal was getting cold.
''Oh, tell them to go ahead," said
the senator, still writing madly Oh SOL
diers' envelopes. "I'll be with them as
soon as l can"
He finished the pile ard rose TO go,
but just then two more soldiers came in
with fresh parcels, and he seated him
self again. After he had signed them
ali he joined the impatient company at
a cold dinner.
I'm sorry" he said, "but it made
the boys happy. They will make their
friends happy with all the letters they
will send in those fr:,akcd envelopes,
and it made me happy to do it.

FAITH IN HUMAN NATURE.

A Nev York Cafe That Keposes Implicit
Conidsnce In I.s Customers.
It is rather surprising to find right on
Park row cafe that trusts it's custom
ers perfectly. This place has probably
800 regular callers. It is open day and
night, and is run on q system Of im-
plicit faith i'll the honesty of man.
While not q place strictly high class, it
offers what might be called a very
Comfortable meal, with trimmings
before CT after. Altogether, it is simply
plain place for an everyday man, with
occasionally little something extra
or the bill of fare equaling anything in
the city.
This, Of course, can be said Of hun
dreds of similar places, but the system
of payment is something novel. The
proprietor, stout German, boasts no
cashier, as there is very little cash to
take in. On the cigar counter is day
book The customer comes in, goes to
the ice chest i'll the corner if he wishes
and takes quiet nip cut of black
bottle Then he orders what lie wants
on the bill of fare. 1t is served quickly
and neatly. He then counts up his own
Indebtedness and puts it opposite his
name in the book, including the nip, :"
or cigar, if he prefers that. He then
walks serenely out, knowing no proprie-
tor is glaring at him and no cashier
yelling for him TO come back and make
the cash register good.
This sort OF childlike simplicity in
running 4 business in the very heart of
a city filled with bunkoers, green goods
men and gold bricks without mum her
is said to be winning venture. Gus
toners invariably settle weekly. Friday
and Saturday being pay days, and the
proprietor says he has rs yet to lose Il
bill through deliberate fraud. A little
experience with a man like that is "a
most enough to renew ones confidence

A Costly Joke.


A Berlin correspondent tells as true
q story about joke that resulted some
what seriously for the man who invent
ed it. This person was incredulous
about the discriminating appreciation
of wines which distinguished friend
of his claimed to possess, and to test
the matter invited him to dine mt ho-
tel whose landlord had previously been
instructed to set tofcTo the connoissaur
a bottle of excellent mosel1e. 1t was to
bear no label or other marks to distin-
guish it from win crGiinaire," and if
questioned the landlord was to say that
it cost only a small price. The invita-
tion was accepted, and the plot was
carried out. The guest had hardly taken
a single sip from his glass, however, be.
fore he proved the injustice Of his host's
suspicion by exclaining over the merit
of the wine. He summoned the land
lord, and ON hearing that its. price was
3 marks instantly ordered l. 900 bottles
Of the same vintage. The order was
filled, and the host, rather than reveal
the failure of his trick, paid the differ
ence between the alleged and real price,
which amounted to something ever
1000 marks

The DaTolu.

1t is now many centuries since, ac-
cording to Ovid, the young man Narcis-
sus was changed into a daffodil because
of his piring away from seeing his love-
ly shadow. in the water. Bat it can
hardly be from sympathy with the un-
fortunate youth that the flower has con-
tinued to be SO popular during all these
long ages. Certain it is that it has as
high value today in the gardens of
persons of taste as in the flower plot of
the humblest cottager. No garden ia
considered to be quite complete without
its little patch Of dafFodils.
OF late years florists have given at
tcntion to raising varieties from them,
and the record of their many forms is a
feature of the catalogue Of all seedsmen.
Double ores formerly carried off the
palm for popularity, but i'll recent times
the single variety is regarded as quite
as desirable. Monthly.

BETTING ON TIE RAIN.
The Oucerest Gambling Game In the
World Is Played ut Calcutta.


One of the most curious forms Of
gambling in the world is 'rain gam
bling" which i'll the winter season of
the year is at its height in Calcutta
The principal rain gambling den is in
Cotton street, Burra bazaar.
No one who has not visited the place
can have uny conception CT the vast
crowds which at every hour Of the day
and far into night pass in ana ont.
The great majority are Mawaris, who
are born spectators, but there are as
well plenty Of well to do Europeans,
Eu-as:;iis, Jews, Armcnians and Greeks
and women too. All swarm into the
small courtyard where this strange
form OF gambling is carried on, through
Il narrow entrance barely 3 feet wide.
Tho courtyard is about goo feet square.
The far famed tank with a spout falling
into the courtyar! IS the one spot where
all eyes are fixed. The tank stands at
the edge OF a second floor roof. 1t is
about feet long by 4 feet wide and 9
inches deep, with the spout opening in
ward, some 3 or 4 inches from the bot
tom. From this it viii be seen that it

partly fill this tank, do not count, as

Chancas are taken either for or against
the spout running. y gray haired,
wizened old man is tho owner Of the
den, and there is another similar place
across the road, only smaller. On the
roof, over the fifth floor, there IS u

are stationed five or six men, whose
duty is to scan the horizon closely and
report on the formation of rainclouGs.
On these reports the odds rise or fall.

y-iinitiYc SarCe-y.

1t Is difficult ut this day to realize the
horrors cf a surgical operation before
the discovery CT anaosthcsia. The sur
Geon's knife was necessarily pitiless.
and the victim could only writhe and
scream under the torture. The horror OF
an operation, even 20 a hero, may be
better understood by story of Nelson,
included III a paper by Dr. John Ash
hurst on Surgery Before the DAYS Of
An;psthetics, published in the Phila-
delphia Record:
No braver or more gallant gentleman
ever lived than Admiral Viscount Mel
son, and after his right elbow had been
shattered by French bullet in the As
sault at Tenerife he manifested the ut
most courage, refusing to be taken TO
the nearest ship lest the sight of his in
jury should alarm the wife of fellow
officer whose own fate was uncertain.
When his own ship was reached, he
climbed up its side without assistance,
saying:
Tell the surgeon to make haste and
get his Instruments. l know must lose
my right ann, SO the sooner it is of the
better.
He underwent the alnpUtation, so
says private letter of one OF his mid
shipmen, with the same firmness and
courage that have always marked his
character "
And yet SO painfully was Nelson
affected by the col;ness of the operator S
knife that when next going into action
at tie famous battle of the Nile he gave
standing orders to his surgeons that hot
water should always lie KEEP. in readi-
ness during an engagement, so that If
another operation should be required he
might at least have the poor comfort of
being cut with warm instruments.
