 AAOON ? \ IAko with Hood,s Sarsaparilla
How She Answered Him.

If the average American tourist can- not speak French, the natives can. Nothing will stop them. Calling at the house of an acquaintance, was greeted by the concierge, female janitor, soul less as corporation, and with no aspi- rations to beauty. Carefully reading from my phrasebook, said as best I could, Is Mir. Blank at home?''
 The woman should have said "No'' or "Yes. Instead of that she said much more, and I missed the monosyl- fables if she uttered them.
 When order was restored, I repeated my question. Again she was volumi- nous Then I played for safety, which the phrasebook suggests. I said in French: "I do not speak much French. Please speak deliberately in order that may if possible properly understand you. 1 did not want to say all this, but I did not know what words to leave out. 1 let it all go. think the woman did her level best, but to this day do not know If she said my man was in or out, l could only make her pro- found bow and say in United States, Heaven bless you for those words. <" It was horse and horse.
 Then I sent my man letter asking him to call He told me that it was curious that two Americans had called on him the day before, his concierge telling him one of them seemed half daft, for although the woman had told him her master was in and requested his name of him he kept repeating his question and finally left.

PIgtail Peenllarities.

There are some curious things about the Ghinamen in this city that l have obserye6. said one of the conductors the other day on the Pennsylvania ave- nue street car line as the car stopped and two Chinamen got off. "They al EERost invariably take car when they have any distance to go suppose that 1t is on account of the peculiar shoes they wear. Another thing that I have observed about them is that they always buy tickets I have been on this line for along time now and 1 have the first gglickel to receive from a Chinaman yet. They travel, as rule, ill company, gen. erally two together.
 They are great people for paying one another S fare. When I come around to collect fares, both Chinamen put their hands in their pockets as soon as they see me, and it is always a race be- tween them to see who can hand the ticket to me first, have never known of case where each Chinaman paid his own fare. They seem to take the great est delight in offering this little cour- tesy to one another Watch and see if this is not the case when you see two of them get on car together. "-Wash- ington Post

Nutriments In Malt Liquors.

Wines and malt liquors, while con- taining q far less amount of alcohol than the distilled liquors, do contain definite amount of nutritive material. Perhaps the best definition of beer as brewed today is that of a fermented saeoharine infusion to which has been added wholesome bitter. It consists of water, alcohol, carbonic and acetic acids and bitter principles from the hop. Ao- eording to Professor Atwater's inyesti- gations, "ale, beer and wine contain small quantities of nutritive material in addition to their alcohol and other con- stituents. That of wine consists mainly of compounds akin to carbohydrates and averages 8 trifle over 3 per cent of the whole weight. That of ale and beer includes, on the average, a little over onehaf of per cent of protein and other nitrogenons compounds and or [ per cent of carbohy drates and allied substances. A pint tpound) of ale or beer would contain, roughly speaking, about as much of these nutritive sub stances as l l,5 ounces of bread, and a pint of wine about as much as three quarters of an ounce of bread "-Out- look

Dogs Meet the Train.

The oriental express, the famous train from Paris to Ccnstantinople, ar- rives at the Turkish capital three times a week at a certain hour in the after noon When tie train comes in, says an exchange, there are always many dogs ready to receive it. Before the passen- gers have had time to get out the dogs jump into the carriages and search ev- erywhere under the seats and in corners for the scraps of luncheon left by the passengers, and when they have found all the pieces they go away. The re- markable thing is that they never come at any time except when the oriental express is due; that they never make q mistake in the day, and always remem- Der that between Friday and Monday there are two days and not one. They pay no attention to local trains, because little or no food is left in them owing to the short rides the passengers take.
 Exactly this same knowledge of the time table and of the difference be- tween local and long distance trains has been noticed at the station of the Asiatic railways in Scutari, across the Bosporus.

The Timidity of m Elephant.

Riding along a road in India saw the following instance of big ele- phant's timidity, which I venture to send you: The elephant, ridden by mahout. was followed by a small Nal tese terrier, which, intent on it's own affairs trotted before it's master mak- ing occasional instructive investigations by the roadside after the manner of dogs, without particularly noticing other travellers. From the first moment tho elephant set eyes on the dog he never lost sight of him, turning from side to side always with an eye on the small animal and hurrying out of his way whenever he approached. The timidity of the one and the confidence of the other were irresistibly amusing. Lon don SpectatcS

How Prohibition Works,

Cambridge Mass, is unique prohibition city.
No other city of equal size has been carried
mo license" two years in succession; while in Cam
bridge that policy has prevailed eleven successive
elections. At first the usual objections made
the city could not do without the saloon revenue
etc-but all have been abundantly refuted by actual
experience. The valuation of Cambridge during ten
years OF license dropped in round numbers So OOO
during ten years of no license it has risen to s24
100000 In the license decade the average gain in
the population 1882; in the no license period it
has been 2O95. The city gets annually in taxes on
the increased valuation under license three or four
times as much it would get from license fees

But you say close up the dstilleries breweries and
Saloons and you will throw out of employment a
multitude of men. Well, how many? Do you know?
To produce billion dollars worth of liquor requires
the labor of 3OO 900 men. To produce billion, dol
lars worth of useful industries would require the
labor of 100000. That is put the capital ex-
pended in the liquor business into other kinds Of
business that enrich the world and for which there
would be demand, and you would employ not only
the 1000 thrown out of employment by closing
the liquor shops but would give enjoyment to mil
lion more who are now idle Surely this would not
be a calamity, would it?
