Walters and Mattresses.

Talking of waitresses, a New York hotel keeper says that although they may possess some superior qualities for such service there are, on the other hand, such drawbacks as make it cer- tain that they would never be accept able to the majority of men who would have to be served by them. He says:
 1T think the objection to them would be based chiefly on the fact that they never show especial attcntion to any person. I never knew woman who waited on man to trouble herself in the least about the manner in which she served him. It makes absolutely no difference whether they receive liberal tips or not. They may be quiet, neat Snd quick, but they would never pick out one piece of beef because it was better than another or make any effort to get the best of what was tos be had in the kitchen. That sort of attention makes a man worth his fee to the men who tip him.
 ''It is this special service that makes a waiter superior to the best of his as- sociates Women never detect any diff ference between the quality of one dish and another They are all the same, and good service requires merely that they shall be set down noiselessly and brought quickly. There the service of the waitress ends She can beat any man at those features of the business. But she cannot select for him anything better than the rest of the customers get. Usually she does not notice any difference in them. That deficiency is the safeguard of the waiter and will keep his place secure for him. -

Popular Librettist Couldn't Withhold A

 W. s. Gilbert does not retain all of his humor for use in his librettos
 In the early days of his success, when Gilbert and Sullivan were considered by managers as the "sure winners in who was a member of one of the Pima fore'' companies wrote to Gilbert tell ing him of her approaching marriage with young man of good position and family
 Gilbert congratulated the young wo- man and expressed the hope that her fu- ture might be prosperous and happy.
 Only little more than month pass- ed, and another letter from the same girl reached him, in which she stated that her engagement with the young man had been broken and that she had accepted another suitor.
 He replied that he had every confi- dence in her judgment and again ex- pressed his hearty wishes for her wei fare.
 It was almost two months after that that Gilbert received third letter from the same girl. who informed him that young Lord - had proposed and that she had accepted him after breaking her engagement with No. 3 Gilbert's humor could no longer withstand the temptation, and ne wrote, II desire to congratulate you on your approaching marriage with - Here he placed an asterisk and in 8 footnote added

CONTRASTS IN NAPLES.

Only Step From Royal Magnificence to
 Crowds of Half Naked Workers.
 One of the strangest contrasts in Ma pies is to walk from the royal palace, with it's fine marble staircase up the new Corse Re Italia and to climb in to the steep streets around the Church of San Soverino Sosio
 These streets are the dwelling places of the dyers, and one steps from regal magnificenoe into crowd of seminaked people, who are busily dipping great hanks of cotton or wool into seething caldrons. As elsewhere the work is car ried on in the street, and little streams of water-red, yellow, brown and black pour over the rough stones and gath or in multicolored pools, while on low benches against the walls women aye washing clothes, standing in the dirtsg tsoapy water that splashes over fralsa their tubs.
 The passersby walk heedlessly through the dye and soapsuds while the chil- dren find pleasant occupation in throw ing mud of every variety of color at anybody who chances to be wearing light colored garments. It is veritable feast of color from the merely gpectacu- lar point of view, but visit to these streets leaves bodily as well as a mental impression.
 Very often in the depths of these sor- did alleys one comes across 8 forgotten old palace. built when carriages were unknown, it's great court of honor crowded with booths, it's vast halls fill ed with heterogeneous collection of men, women and children, fowls, goats, sheep and occasionally a donkey, all living together in the happiest proxim- ity. The massive old walls are hidden beneath centuries of dirt; the wood work has, for the most part, disappear cd the rooms that once knew the revels of Angevin nobles now shelter the hap hazard existence of lazzaroni.-Lud- gate

rawooas as Sin ORerirws.

Just as brewers and other evil men in England conciliate heaven by erect ing churches so the bold, bad, bloody handed Burman makes it all right for the next existence by erecting pagodas. In proportion to the height of the pa goda his heap of sin disappears. And as the Burnlan, like the rest of us, looks after his own wants rather than those of his ancestors, he builds pagoda all to himself, and allows his grandfather s to topple over. An uncle of the deposed king must have been round shouldered with the weight of his wrongdoings
 Anyway, at the foot of Mandalay hill-a nice, breezy eminence, admi- rable to give you an appetite and pain in the back-he built 729 pagodas. though the guides count wrong and say there are only 45O But perhaps they mention the smaller number out of regard for their monarch s uncle, not wishing to expose the real magnitude of his sinfulness. The pagodas are all white and set out in rows, and under each were what we pronounced to be tombstones. We were wrong, for the inscriptions were not to the dear de- parted, but constituted complete copy of the law in the Pali tongue. Travel
