WHERE DRINKING PREVAILS.
Patrons of Fine Saloons Take Little
 Liquor at Time.

Patrons of Fine saloons Take Little
 Liquor at a Time.
 How can the elegant bars of the city afford to place before their patrons better grade of liquor while charging the same price as the saloons in the poorer districts? is question freauent- ly asked. The answer Is simple enough. In the former drinkers never take bath. as the saying is.- but merely cover the bottoms of their glasses with liquor while in the latter the glasses are none too large to contain the amount theSpatrons require. TT you can tell me how many drinks bar gets out of a gallon of whisky" said a veteran of the white apron the other day, T will tell you relatively where his saloon is located and what kind of trade 1t enjoys. The average for business in the commercial and office center is from sixty to sixty-fiye. If It IS patronized to any extent by the upper working classes, skilled merhan- 1es, and so on. the percentage runs down to fifty. A fellow who wasn't posted might suppose that indicated WoFkingmen were heavy drinkers. but it's just the reverse. The average. up- per class mechanic drinks very sei- dom, but when he does he generally takes a good one. The heavy tfpplers are the chaps who take small drinks and lots of them, and a house that has very swell custom will get from eighty to eigaty-dve out of a gallon. In the tough places and dives forty would be about the figure, which rep- resents an average of exactly four dfths of gill to each customer. In such establishments the glasses are often very thick and the inside is round on the bottom. They are deceptive and even If filled to the brim will not hold over one=half of a gill, which would make sixty-four drinks to the gallon. At only five cents apiece that would mean $9.20, and as the stuff they serve does not cost more than s1 the profit is a shade over 200 per cent which ought to satisfy even a dive. keeper. If a ffge-cent house set out thin glasses with the black bottle ii would be bankrupt In less than week"

OLD IMPERIAL eopyouARp.
Institution That Died with the Second
 French Empire.


 French Empire.
 The Cent Guards founded with the second empire in 1870. The corps dated from the time of the Crimean war, when a visit from Queen Victoria was expected. The tallest and finest look ing men and officers were selected from the cavalry There were 137 of the former and eleven of the latter, but the number of men was increased to POS. Their function was purely decorative, and they chiefly served within the palace. What Swells the officers were in their sky-hlue uniform bedight with golden lace! The corps had regula- tons of their own. They were on no account. wien on duty, to stir unless to salute the emperor or empress, and only then when specially ordered. The worst breach Of discipline would have been to forget they were to be motion less as earyatides. One day Marshal GasteHaue, q vain, old, peppery per- sonage. had occasion to see the em- perof soon after the creation of the Cent Guards. Two of them kept guard beside the door opening from the ante room on Ire presence chamber. They remained in the regulation attitude that is to say, with the right arm hori- zontally stretched out and holding q musket by the bayonet The butt end rested on the ground The marshal was in uniform. Furious at not being saluted, he asked the one nearest to him what 1t meant The Cent Guard seemed neither to sec nor hear. Cas- tellane lost self-restraint and abused him. Still the soldier remained im- passive. The irate marshal sent for Col Yerley to complain. The colonel failed to make him understand that approval and not reinstatement WIS due. Thus the matter was brought be- fore the emperor. who gave the com plainant a sharp rap on the hnuckles by expressing his pleasure at the Spartan attitude of a household guard who WAS bound to ignore every rank but the mperiaL-London Truth.

 Bananas.

New York Tribune: A virtuous ban- ana company has withdrawn from ths unrighteous banana trust, shocked and hurt because it was asked to help force the price of bananas up from sf.l5 to s2.5o a bunch. The public value of this news is that bananas can be prohtably produced at s1.15 a bunch. Now, good bunch contains at least hundred bananas. and there- fore bananas can be prod 1ced at It, tie less than a cent and quarter apiece. And one banana contains as much nourishmeH -Ats If beek

MANY WEEDS GOOD TO EAT.
Certain Kinds Are Often Used for Food
 by Families.


 Go out on any farm and see the farm- CT hoeing away at the weeds that threaten to choke his crop. You may hear him say things that wouldn't sound nice about the weeds. Tie dan- delion isn't the only weed eaten by people who know what's good to eat. Take wild chicory, the plague of the farmer. It makes one of the finest salads served, piquant, tender anG wholesome. Charleek or wild mustard is another bane of the farmer. He doesn't know that as a pot herb it can give a soup a delightful flavor The dock weeds-how annoying the whole family are! Yet the broad leaf vari- ety and the curly leaf are used all over Europe as table vegetables There's pokeweed, commonest of all. In France it is cultivated It takes it's place. Sorrel, fictitious and ehevril are looked on as a lavoring for soup Everybody in American hates net tie and can't see what use it is. Ia Scotland Poland and Germany tender young nettle leaves are used as greens The Germans boil them with other vegetables to give them piquant fla- vor. Purslane is another weed that can be treated in the same way. Most people think milkweed poisonous. It is a medicinal vegetable, with a de- lightful flavor all it's own. The young leaves. when they are in just the right condition, are cross between spinach and asparagus, and in salad are de- licious. Sorrel, fettieus and chevril are looked on as field pests by ninety nine out of every hundred farmers. The hundredth one picks the choicest leaves from these weeds and sends them to market, where they find a ready sale for salads to be eaten with game and for fayoring herbs-for herbs they are, and not weeds New York World.

--------~~@----~< RATS LEVIED ALL.

 ables Alone.


 ables Alone.
 Rats have always levied toll ip some way on the human race. Blackmail eheerfuliy paid to rats is, however, new to history and a tribute to their great abilities. says the Chicago News. They had established them selves under a meat market and. ac- cording to the owner, the way they used to pick and choose was dreadful When two eaFeasses of mutton were available they would eat the prime and leave the scorer. The best was hardly good enough for them. and they were cunning even beyond the cun- hing of market rats. So the owner re- solved to make a treaty and pay black mail. relying on the economic wisdom of rats. He gave them three square meals day, with plenty of variety, in hope that the rats would be ap- peased and not eat mutton at night, too. The menu was bread, fancy bis cult, potatoes and sugar, and was laid yaear the rats front door. At first they a'ised to come up furtively and carry IlIC IGO0 OLL LC LHtAE AOeES. put HOW they come out regularly in the shop, eating their luncheon on equal terms with their hosts. Their leader is an old grizZied rat, who has lost an ear. He has become the medium between the high contracting parties and sets an example to his own side by eating bread and biscuits out of the shop men's fingers. The rats now behave exactly like other tribes when in re- ceipt of blackmail. in that they drive off all intruders. "The other day." said one of the shopmen, "a strange rat got in among 'em and you should have seen 'em chase him out They ran him out the shop, in front of all of us, and I believe if he'd a stayed they'd have killed him"

They Chip Pieces off the Washingto
 Monument and Pay Well for Them.
 From tAe New I ork Mail and Ex- press: Colonel Bingham. superintend- ent of public buildings and grounds. who has charge of the Washington monument says one of the greatest trouDles the Watchmen at the monu- ment have to contend with is the chip- ping Of these memorial stones by relic hunters. 'One of the strangest things in regard to these relic hunters" said Colonel Bingham, is the fact that more than one-half of the men arrested for chipping off relics are clergvmen. When the police arrest these aespoil- CTS and start with them to the station house the man will begin to ask what Is the penalty and try to beg off. He is told that the fine is Q heavy one, but that $15 security can be put up for ap- pearance in the police court. Then the prisoner explains that he Is minister of the gospel and meant no harm, and that he could not stand the disgrace of appearing In a police court. He ends up by giving up the collateral. after generally trying to cut it down to Sl0, saying he has only tnat amount with him"
