1t Was Red and Costly.

The most expensive dinner Of mod
ern times was given some years ago at
the Savoy hotel, London, by a million
aire who has since met with an IN
timely end. 1t was known as the "red
dinner" from the fact that almost ev
erything in the dining room was red
in color. All the floral decorations were
red, the electric lamps were red, the
knives were specially made with red
handles, the chairs were red, the carpet
was red, the table napkins were red
and even the walters wore red ties.
The reason of this color predominating
was that the millionaire had expert
enced wonderful run of luck and had
won a large sum Of money through red
turning up on the rouge ct noir table at
Monte Carlo. The winning figure was
nine, and this figure was also in evil
dence at the dinner.
The menu card was unique. On the
first page was a large red nine, and on
the back page was a portrayal Of the
top Of rouge ct noir gaming table.
The menu itself, which was printed in
red letters, consisted of Is courses, all
Of the most expensive character.
Forty guests sat down to the table,
and the cost Of this extraordinary din
ner was over $65 for each person.

Can't Leave Wall Street.

Speaking of the fascination which
Wall street exerts over those who have
once entered it's speculative arena. a
newspaper man said:
"In one of the largest commission
brokerage establishments in Wall

"'You bet he can,' the old man re-
piled, when he's fat broke. That's
the only kind Of man I've ever
known to "retire' from Wall street
during an experience Of nearly 10
years. OF course if he can raise a few
dollars he'll be right back again.
""Then there's the man who has
cleaned up a neat little fortune on
some clever deal and taken a solemn
oath never to come near the street
again. He always comes back.

False Teeth of Antiuuity.

The manufacture and use of false
teeth are undoubtedly Of great an
tiquity. The ancient Egyptians were
no mean dentists. Jawbones of num-
mics have been found with false teeth
in them, and also with teeth filled with
gold. The ancient Greeks also knew
how to fill teeth with gold; also how to
make false teeth. <.":@z.>x :%
i. There is plentiful evidence of skilled
dentistry among the Romans, for many
of the Latin authors have references
to false teeth. In the Roman Laws Of
the Twelve Tables" there are distinct
references to artificial teeth. The first
part of No. 10 forbids useless expense
at funerals in general, but an exception
is permitted by No. II, which allows
that the gold filings Of false teeth or
the gold with which they were bound
should be buried or burned with the
deceased.

CATCHING SMELLS.
How the Little Fish Are Hooked
Through the Ice.

How the Little Fish Are Hooked
Through the Ice.
The smelts are all caught with hook
and line, says the Bangor Commercial.
Taking them otherwise, such as by
seine, would be regarded by the fisher
men here as great wrong. The fish
ing is all done in tents, the tents being
about six feet long, five feet wide and
high enough for a man to stand up in
them.
These tents are covered with cloth,
heated by stove and lighted usually
by lantern. I have known the tenn
perature Of my tent to vary, however,
60 degrees within ten minutes during a
cold day.
A hole about six feet long and eight
inches wide is cut in the ice and the
tent set lengthwise of this. Six lines
attached to a pole fastened to the
plates of the tent hang into the water
nearly eight inches apart. These lines
during fishing hours are always kept in
motion.
The way the fishermen handle these
lines, how they can bait the hooks and
slat smelts, when, as they say, they
are taking holt,' is certainly wonder.
full l have known one man to catch
100 pounds in less than one hour. This
means at least 1000 fish, or about IT a
minute. One smelter has been known
to catch 500 pounds during one tides
fishing.
Some have made $50 to $50 day and
others 5000 in a few weeks. But these
big catches are only made by those ex'
pert in fishing. The chances are that
green hand would starve the first
winter if dependent wholly on what
| fish he caught.

The Tale of Q Cake.

An east end car was loaded down
with shoppers, mostly women, for it
was in the middle Of the afternoon.
Conversation was proceeding at great.
rate. 1t was like a pink tea or q SEES
sion of the sewing circle. But all at
once hush fell over the fair chatter
ers. A negro lad entered, bearing in
his arms an immense cake three Or
four decks high and frosted over from
pit to dome, as they say of a theatec.
There was a profusion of flowers By
way OF decoration, and delicate tracer
les of gauzy lace completed the en-
Refreshments. The cake was so large
that the negro could scarcely carry it.
The cake told the whole story Of the
wedding, the bridesmaids, the orange
flowers, the flower girls and the ban
quet afterward. Every feminine heart
in that street car was a-flutter as it's
owner gazed speechlessly upon the
evidence of q wedding to be.
Finally, when the car stopped to let
on another passenger and everything
was very still, one lady took courage
to ask the negro where the wedding
was going to be.
"Whut Weddinw asked the negro, his
eyes protruding.
"The wedding that cake is for"
"Dis amt no weddin cake"
"No?"
"No'm. Dis yere's er cake walk
cake"
There was a smile that reached from
one end Of the car to the other, and
very soon conversation was resumed
as before.-Memphis Scimitar.

THE OLD SPORT TRlckED.
He Knew the sharpers' Game. bit
Thew Knew 1t Better.

He Knew the Sharpers' Game, bnt
! Thew Knew It Better.
In the days when things were vide
open there was 'brace" faro game on
the other side of Canal street, where
some pretty fat pigeons were frequent
ly plucked. While this was going onsa
broken down sport formed the habit
of dropping in and securing share Of
the plumber by simply betting the re-
verse Of the victim. The latter, for In
stance, would bet $50 one way on the
ace, and the old sport, knowing posi-
lively that the dupe would lose, would
bet SIS the other way on the same card
In order to secure the $50 the dealer
had to let the unwelcome visitor win
his little five, and that sort Of thing
happened almost every time fresh
fool was piloted into the establishment.
OF course the sharpers who ran the
game regarded this proceeding on the
old sports part as most outrageous
invasion Of their private rights, equiv
alent to blackmail. II call it just the
same as stealing for him to come in
that way when we're SHINING a man
and take off a slice,"s said the main
sharp, land he really ought to be ar
rested. We must do something to stop
him."
Accordingly they laid their heads to-
gether and evolved Machiavelian
scheme. A few days later stranger,
who had all the appearances Of very
verdant planter, was steered into the
place, and right behind him, as usual,
came the old sport, seeming rich pick
ings. After playing for awhile in a
small way the stranger, who appeared
to be more than half tipsy, pulled out a
huge roll Of bills and offered to bet
81, 800 on the turn Of a card. The prop
osition was promptly accepted, and the
other fellow, thinking he had the
chance Of his life, Immediately put up
$65, which was every cent he had on
earth. To his CONSERVATION, the plant
er won and he lost. That broke him OF
the habit and was the last time he ever
tried to rob robbers. 1t turned out
later that the planter was Memphis
gambler, made up" expressly for the
role.-New Orleans Times-Democrat
