that rye, corn, oats, potatoes and

Chicago n Literary Center.

"You told nc yesterday that Chicago wasn't literary center, didn't you?" demanded the Chicago man of his friend from Boston
 ''Yes, that is what I said, ' replied the Boston man.
 tYou told me that we might have a few fair newspaper writers and a few Cheap John authors, but that couldn' t find the name of a crackerjack, bang up poet like Oliver Wendell Holmes, for instance, or Longfellow, or some of those other guys, in the whole city di- rectory, didn't you?" continued the Chi cago man.
 ''Yes, I said something like that, |" was the reply.
 "Well, you're way off, cully," went on the Chicago man, pulling a paper out of his inside pocket. 70. W. Holmes lives over here on the West Side, ill the swell part of it, too-Ashland avenue. We've got three or four Longfellows, a score of Lowells and column or more of Emersons But that ain't all. You Il find in the directory dozen Walter Scotts, few Tennysons, about a page of Spencers, two Charles Dickenses, one Thackeray and one Shakespeare. Now, what have you to say about Chicago's not being literary center?"
 Well, it's better than thought, !" acknowledged the Boston man. "Our directory wouldn't show such list of illustrious names. ''--Chicago Times Herald.

IN HUMAN NATURE.
A New York Cafe That RepOses Implicit
 Confidence In Its Customers.

A New York Cafe That RepOses Implicit
 Confidence In Its Customers.
 It is rather surprising to find right on Park row a cafe that trusts it's custom CTS perfectly. This place has probably 300 regular callers. It is open day and night, and is run on a system of im- plicit faith in the honesty of man. While not place strictly high class, it offers what might be called a very 'comfortable'' meal, with trimmings before or after. Altogether, it is simply a plain place for an everyday man, with occasionally little something extra on 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, a stout German, boasts no cashier, as there is very little cash to take in On the cigar counter is day book. The customer comes i'll, goes to the ice chest in the corner if he wishes and takes quiet nip out of black bottle. Then he orders what he wants on the bill of fare It 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 a cigar, if he prefers that. He then walks sorcnciy out, knowing no proprie- tor is g1aring at him and no cashier yelling for him to come back and make the cash register good.
 This sort of chiIdlike simplicity in running a business ill the very heart of a city filled with bunkoers, green goods men and gold bricks without number is said to be a winning venture. Gus toners invariably settle weekly, Friday and Saturday being pay days, and the proprietor says he has as yet to lose a bill through deliberate fraud. A little experience with man like that is al- most enough to renew ones confidence in human nature. New York Letter in Pittsburg Dispatch.

Japanese Comnetition.

MT. George c. Perkins is uneasy be- cause of the competition of Japan and gives his reasons in The Overland Monthly:
 Japan has an unlimited supply of cheap coal and cheap labor. It has al- ready demonstrated it's ability to com pete with Europe and America by in- vading the home markets of those coun- tries It has the best machinery which the world has up to this time produced and can manufacture as much more as it needs. The initiative faculty of the race is unquestioned and unrivaled, and it's originality is becoming acknowl- edged. It recognizes such educational defects as it possesses and with charac- teristic energy and consoientiousness is setting about to gain such knowledge as is necessary to bring it's people to the highest state of industrial efficiency. Chemistry was formerly practically an unknown science in Japan. Now the Japanese export chemicals to America. Physics and mathematics will be studied with similar practical results, and most Americans now living will undoubtedly see Japan with modern civilization, as far as it's industries are concerned, but with a people still Japanese in char acter and tastes, who manufacture goods for foreign markets, as do the English, and who no more desire to supply their needs with English, French or American productions than we do to supply ours with those of China, Japan or India.

Dr. Nico11 on American Newspapers.

Dr. Nicoll, who came to this country with MT. Barrie, read the American newspapers while he was here and au- daciously admits that he liked them. He has confessed to The Westminster Budget that in his opinion no American institution is more misunderstood abroad than the press. He thinks our newspa- pers less sensational than they seem to be and says, very truly, that you may look in vain in them for such matter as the divorce reports which the most prop CT English papers publish. Undoubted- ly we Americans like the newspapers we have better, on the whole, than any others in the market, but we are so con- tinually advised that our passion for them is guilty, that while we satisfy it with prodigality we seldom attempt to justify or even to excuse it, so that to hear our journals praised by visitor excites emotions of considerable novel, ty. After all, liking for newspapers is, like a liking for one's fellow crea- tures apt to concentrate itself on indi- viduals. If Dr. Nicoll had been impoli- tic enough to say which American pa- pers he liked, his comments would have gained in interest all that they lost in discretion. Harper Weekly.

Primitive Surgery.

It is difficult at this day to realize the horrors of a surgical operation before the discovery of an8sthesia. 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 to a hero, may be better understood by a story of Nelson, included in paper by Dr. John Ash hurst on Surgery Before the Days of Anasthetics, ; published ill the Phila- delphia Record:
 No braver or more gallant gentleman ever lived than Admiral Viscount Nell son, and after his right elbow had been shattered by a 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 it's side without assistance, saying:
 "TeIl the surgeon to make haste and get his instruments. I know must lose my right arm, so the sooner it is off the better. ;
 "He underwent the amputation, so says private letter of one of his mid- shipmen, with the same frmness and courage that have always marked his character '
 And yet so painfully was Nelson affected by the coldness of the operator 8 knife that when next going into action at the famous battle of the Nile he gave standing orders to his surgeons that hot water should always be kept 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.

A Partisan Discovery.

All Paris just now, according to The Journal, is focking to 28 Rue Ravi- gnan, Montmartre, where, few days ago, 8 most remarkable discovery was made. In this neighborhood are the ruins of the ancient monastery of the Benediotines and other old buildings used by the brothers, most of which are also giving way to the ravages of time. At 28 Rue Ravignan Mime. BertheIot keeps a grocery store. She sleeps in a small chamber in the rear, that at one time was probably used as an oratory. Mime. Berthelot, noticing that the tiles on the floor of the chamber gave forth a hollow sound as she stepped upon them, and thinking that cellar there would be very convenient for her business, sent for mason and had the tiles removed. A flight of stone steps was revealed, leading into 8 labyrinth of passages. The authorities have now taken posses sion of the place, and systematic in- vestigation is being conducted. Many relics have been found, and it is beIiev- ed that much light is likely to be thrown upon the history of Paris dur ing the fourteenth century.

Roasting 9 Goose.

To roast a goose properly is by no means an easy task. These directions, carefully followed, are said to be COT. rect:
 Having drawn and thoroughly cleaned and dried the bird, stuff it with mashed potatoes highly seasoned with onion, sage, salt and pepper or with equal parts of bread crumbs, chopped apples and boiled onions, seasoned with salt, sage and pepper. Sew and truss, put on rack in pan and cover the breast with slices of fat salt pork.
 Place in the oven for three-quarters of an hour The pork fat is quickly drawn out by the heat, flows over the goose and aids ill drawing out the oil When considerable oil is extracted, take the pan from the oven and pour off all the oil. Remove the pork and dredge the goose with four and place again in the oven. When the flour is browned add little hot water and baste often Dredge with flour after basting. Cook until brown and tender. Garnish with water cress. Serve with apple sauce.- Chicago Record.

Organ and Dog In Sympathy.

There is an old adage that Emusic hath charms tu soothe savage breast, !" but this is not always the case. At the corner of Beacon and Mount Vernon streets in Boston may be found almost every evening just at dusk an old lady bundled up in shawls and wraps turn ing the crank of little paper hand or gan. The sounds issuing from the in- strument cannot be termed sweet, and to Representative ear they are painful.
 The other evening, as the observer of the Boston Post was passing the musi- clan, Gordon setter came running along. He had evidently lost his master, for there was an anxious expression on his handsome face. When in front of the organ grinder he stopped. The ab- sence of his owner was trying enough, but that music was the last straw. Throwing back his head, he gave howl that sounded like the wall of lost soul. Not once, but time and again the ami nal poured forth his sorrow. Had the observer been theosophist in belief, he would have declared that the dog con- tained the spirit of musical critic. Yet the old lady was oblivious to it all, and the organ played on.

Rothsohild's Broken Cornice.

One of the features of the magnificent London mansion of Lord Rothschild, which adjoins Aspley House, the resi- dence of the Duke of Wellington, is the unfinished piece of superb cornice in the great marble hall This is ill accordance with the Hebrew precept which forbids any devout believer ill the Talmud to regard his home on earth as anything but temporary and therefore incomplete. Lord Rothschild's particular hobby is the Jews free school i'll the Whitechapel district of London, which has all aver age daily attendance of 4,000 children, probably the largest roster of any school in the world. This institution is main tained entirely by the peer, and it is probably the only school of the kind where each child is provided free of cost with good breakfast of hot milk and bread and butter before beginning the day studies. Each pupil receives 8 new suit of clothes once year, and Lord Rothschild encourages thrift among the pupils by paying them an interest of 10 per cent per annum on whatever money they are able to save or earn and 10 put by.-Chicago Record.

SHELBY AND THE PRESIDENT
How He CIlnched His Appointment as
 United States Marshal.

United States Marshal.
 ''One of General Shelby s saving traits was his ability to say exactly the right thing to the right man in the right place. A heavy fight was made on him when he was a candidate for the mar shalship. His opponents had told Presi. dent Cleveland that Shelby had been concerned in the assassination of the of- fcers of Cass county who had issued some railway bonds against the wishes of the people. Shelby prepared himself with affidavits from leading citizens and went to Washington. Disdaining assist ance, he obtained a personal interview with MT Cleveland. When he entered the executive office, Representative Cookery, the banker at Gallatin, one of his bitterest opponents, was present.
 I have been accused of assassina- tion, MT. President, said General Shel- by, and have been informed that the appointment to the United States mar shalship for the western district of Mis- souri hinges upon that charge. In jus tice to Democrat I want you to exam inc these papers at your leisure.
 "'You have been correctly informed, Genera1 Shelby, sald the president That charge has been made I will look at your papers
 Congressman Cookery interjected a remark I will bid you good morning, MT. President, said the general There is nothing that man pointing to Dock ery-'can say to me in this office or in your presence. There are many places ill which he can meet me if he desires.
 ''There was distinct challenge in his mal:ner and glance, but it never came 10 anything Within an hour Mir Cleveland caused General Shelby to be informed that he would be given the appointment. The entire business was settled i'll less than half day It was the guiding principle of General Shel- by's life to go straight for any thing that he wanted and straight against anything that he didn't like.

At am entertninment i'm Dublin n thouuht

At an entertainment in Dublin thought reader boasted that he could find marked pin hidden by one of the audience. The pin was hidden by Trinity student, in an adjoining room in the presence of the committee, among whom was confeder- ate. The student, suspecting the man from his looks, slyly took away the pin from it's hiding place. On his return to the platform the thought reader gazed in- to the hiders's face, and, putting his hand on his brow, was blindfolded, and led the student to the hiding place, but, of course could find no pin. He returned, acllnowl- edging his defeat, and looked daggers at his confederate. "Now," gentlemen" said the student, "I undertake to say that if this diviner of the human mind will do as tell him, half the audience, without a single hint, will know where the pin is," and, turning to the thought reader, he said "Sit down." He did so. There was yell, and jumping up the thought reader hastily pulled from his coat tails the marked pin.
