MAKING MONEY.
Plenty of Opportunities All
the Time.

"In war time," said man of mature
years, there are always unusual
chances that are taken advantage of by
men of foresight to make money. This
reminds me of what Josh Billings said,
that if our foresight was as good as our
hindsight we'd all be rich or words to
that effect.
AT the outbreak of the civil war In
this country there were long-headed
men who stored away manufactured
cotton goods, bleached and upbleached
cottons, sheetings, and so on. AS the
war went on, what with the curtailmelt
of production and the blockade ct
southern ports, the price of cotton
scared skyward and manufactured cot
sl5nd'ngiy. Most men peddled out
their holdings as the price rose, but
some held on and got for their goods
six or eight times what they paid f0r
them.
There has been no such money a.
that made in this war yet, and I don'e
suppose there's likely to be, butt would
be easy to pick out things that have
risen greatly in value and that a man
might easily have made a fortune on if
he'd known what was going to happen
Suppose he'd have brought all the buRt-
ing there was, for instance, or taken a
fall out of sulphur, or put away few
hundred cases Of Spanish olives. He'd
have found money In all these things
and in various others. But then a man
can find money In time of peace, too, If
he knows how TO look"

AMERICANS IN PARIS.
The Men Have Neither the Inclinnt % N
Nor Opportunity for Long.
Ntsits.

A recent article in lie Figaro, of Paris.
is devoted to the American colony In
that city. 1t says that the colony has
always played the important and bril-
liant role in society chiefly because
most of the Americans were "Ameri-
Gaines" 1t is certain" continues Ls
Figaro, that out of ten 'Americaines'
residing in Paris there is but one Amer
lean. ATairs-'business rs they say
over there-absOrbs the sterner sex in
the United States. In that country the
men have neither the inclination nor
the opportunity for much leisure, and
only pay us very short visits.
'While their wives install themselves
here the good husband only makes fly
ing visits, and is very seldom referred
TO in the elegant salons of the wives
The writer continues: Il was at an OIL
cial ball not long ago, where one Of
them was the hero of IA curious his
toire. He wrote on the lapel Of his coat
a brilliant star which struck me as
original and somewhat curious in form.
Although very artistic. the order was
unknown TO me. Some indiscreet per-
son interrogated the Yankee as to what
order II was. The Yankee replied, in q
phlegmatic tone: 1t is my own compo-
SitiOn.'"

FEW BOOTS NOW.
They Were Once Very Common, but
Their Place Has Been Almost
Entirely Taken by shoes.

when | was boy" said middle
aged man, according to the New York
Sun, pretty much everybody used to
wear boots-I did, l know, fine calfskin
boots. Now nobody wears boots eX-
cept horsemen and farmers; that is,
practically nobody; you do meet a man
in the city now and then that wears
boots, but such men are SO few that they
don't count.
We turned from boots to congress
CATERS, once almost universally worn,
and there's quite u lot of congress gai-
ters worn still You look along the
rows of feet Of the men sitting in an
selevated car and you are pretty likely
to see one or more pairs of them, but
button shoes and lace shoes finally, in
very large measure, supplanted the
congress CATERS, and they remain the
shoes commonly worn to-day.
And we shall stick to shoes of one
sort and another. We shan't go back to
boots for various reasons. In the first
place we don't need them. In cities they
are not necessary for protection, nor are
they essential to comfort. Shoes are
now more suitable to wear at centera
of population, besides being more con-
venient and cheaper.
so in populated regions, for the wear
of the great ma jority of men, we have
got through with boots. 1t is another
illustration of how easily long-estab-
lished customs vanish when conditions
change"

GETTING RID OF FLIES.
London Women Adopt Orienta
Pinn and Meet with
Success.

Most people who have travelled in the
far east have seen Orientals burning
sandalwOod in their houses for the puP-
pose of driving flies away. 1t is odd
that the plan is not more generally
known in this country, where it meets
with success wherever the experiment
Is tried. \ recent arrival from London
says that the women there have diScoy-
cred this agreeable method of ridding
their homes of the pest. In London 1t
is possible to get the wood prepared for
this purpose, but here it is not so easy,
as American women have not yet taken
to the practice. Now that the festive
fly and the merry mosquito are about
to make their appearance, housewives
might doas well to give the sandalwood a
trial. SandalwOOd can be bought al al
most any Turkish or japanese import
ing house. 1t is prepared for burning
by first being cut into small pieces half
an inch thick and three inches long
Then it is baked or dried out in slow
oven for 24 hours. y piece of the wood
is put into metal urn, lighted and al
lowed to burn until well af1ame, when
the flame is eXtinguisbed and the red
hot ember left to smolder until the
wood is consumed and nothing is left
but heap of fine gray ashes. During
the smoldering process the wood sends
out sweet and aromatic smoke.

affed out u Tiger.

An officer Of the Bengal lancers, who
was seized by tigress, owed his escape
20 curious accident. The tigress
seized him by the breast of his coat
and shook him till he become uucon-
scious. On recovering he heard a
strange noise at a little distance, as
if somebody was sneezing violently. II
was the tigress herself. He slowly
turned around and gave a furtive
glance in that direction. He could
hardly believe his eyes. There was the
tigress Sinking off with her tail very
much between her legs and sneezing
most violently and making the most
piteous grimaces. The truth dawned
upon him like a fash Of lightning-in
the operation of shaking him his SNUFF
box had flown open from his waistcoat
pocket and the tigress had received the
contents thereof full In her face.

PLAYING MARBLES.
Prospective Sea Gunners Who Wish
to BECOME Proficient should
Indulge in the Game.
And the o
at an end.

If foreign nations would become pro-
ticient with the formidable guns of mod
ern warfare Lieut.. Wilson recommends
TO their ministers the introduction OF
the American and English game of
playing marbles. The great proiectiIt
throwers and she'll distributors are no
longer sighted as of old, when the gun
pers of hostile ships frequently pushed
their ramrods into the portfolios of the
enemy. Hours probably before the
eager captains come within range dis
tance the Junior officers of the American
vessels have figured out the problem
which is TO direct the men who handle
the breech-loaders. The density or
rarity of the atmosphere, the prevalence
Of the wind, the height OF the sea, are
all taken into consideration.
Lieut. Wilson contends that PLAYING
marbles steadfes the nerves of the pros
pective naval cadet while he is plofding
through the primary grades at school.
The sport promotes a spirit of calcula-
ton of distances which is of incalcu-
liable value when hostile fleets are
maneuvering for battle.

Troubles from q Lucky Grave Site.

When the former minister of law, Cho
Pyeng-sik, was governor Of ChungchonG
province he WAS told by geomancef
that the site of one o Uen-keun's house
was the luckiest spot for a grave. Gov.
Cho asked o to give him that site, but
the latter refused. Then the governor

thus exterminating the O's the governor
appropriated the site Of their house and

FIRE FIGHTING.
How 1t Was Done in the south in
the Days Before the
Civil War.

Old citizens are commenting on the
change the Savannah fire department
has undergone since the ante-belium
days. The recent fires have given rise
to many recol,ections of former meth
ods of checking flames, says the Sa-
vannah News.
The eyes of one man, who was posted
in a glass house in the City Exchange
dome, constituted the alarm system.
He was sort of sentinel, and while
keeping watch over the city cried out
the hours and whether things were
well or no. There are a few members
of the police force to-day who served in
the old glass house and recall the days
when fire alarms were sounded by ring
ing the old bell.
Hand pumps formed the apparatus
to drive water, and the effective work
they did is well remembered. All fire
men before the war were volunteers,
and. with the exception of the chiefs Of
divisions, were composed entirely OF
colore,l men. They were strong, hardy,
and to get TO a fire was a sort of pastlme
which was thoroughly enjoyed by them.
While working the pumps they would
strike up a tune, keeping time with
the movements of the pump handle and
ringing out their song in such harmony
aud fullness as to catch even the ear
of the critic. Then, too, there was fun
for the negroes getting TO their re-
spective station houses. II was a stand
ing rule that the first man to place his
hand on the lock at the station received
a dollar, and all were wild to earn il.
1t was as much an honor as a gain-a
sort of trophy held until the next fire.
The station houses were built Of brick
and located in the squares in different
parts of the city.

ICE CREAM CENTURIES AGO.
The Delicious Summer ConfectioA
First Manufactured in Italy
How Ii Originated.

Early June days generally see the ice
cream and soda parlors doing a stead
lily increasing business. Ice cream is
a much older sweetmeat than many
persons suppose. In the beginning of
the seventeenth century gOblets made
of ice and also iced fruit-that is, fruit
frozen over were first brought 10
table. The limonadiers, or lemonade
sellers, of Paris, endeavored to increase
the popularity of their wares by icing
them, and one, more enterprising than
the rest, an Italian named Procope
CouteauX, in the year 1860. conceived
the idea of converting such beverages
entirely into ice, and about 20 years
later iced liquors-that is, liquors
changed into ice-were the principal
things sold by the limonadiers. By the
end of that century iced liquors were
quite common in Paris.
Ice cream, or iced butter" as it was
first called, from its supposed resem-
blance to that substance, soon followed.
1t was first known il Paris in 177s.
Due de Chartres often went at that time
TO the Paris cotfee-houses 10 drink 3
glass of iced liquor, and the landlord
having one day presented him with his
arms" formed in edible ice, this kind
of sweetmeat became the fashion. Ger
man cooks at once took up the new art.
1t was not long in reaching England, for
in 1875 a French cook resident in Lon
don, named Clermont, wrote The
Modern Cook" in which sweet ices wer~
first described for the instruction of
English cooks. The ice cream Of
these days is an enormously elaborated
sweetmeat compared with that of the
Clden time.
