TWO WATERS.
Difference Between Negro Servers
In Northern and Southern Hotels.

In Northern and Southern Hotels.
If you have Travelled, you must certain
ly have noticed the wide difference be-
tween negro walters of southern and
northern hotels
In the north the waiter is stiff, rigid
and superclious. He takes your order
condescendingly and briskly betakes him.
self to the culinary regions with the
same. He stands with folded arms and
scornful expression at some little dis
lance, watching. however for an oppor
tunity to leap forward and pretend to an
ticipate your wants.
And when he brings your change you
are certain to note that it is laid upon a
plate and that one particular quarter is
noticeably detached from its fellows.
In the south the waiter shulllrs back to
the kitchen and returns with your meal,
TO which he has added some little deli
cacy of his own choosing. He glides
about you. leans tendcrly over you, his
black face filled with anxiety for fear
some error of omission or commission
may occur.
He hangs about you with fathcrly in
tereSt. He places the dishes before you
with almost a caresSing touch, ana when
you are ready to depart he trcmblingly.
hopefully. lingcringly hands you your hat
In the white brown depths of his eyes
there is cute appeal, not unmixed with
expectation.
Who hut case hardened drummer or
the travelling representative of fratcr-
nal organization could resist that appeal?
You need not fear to give him quar-
ter-joy seldom kills outright-but you
can be sure that dime will produce a
wide grin and an exaggerated bow.
But most people consider it worth a
quarter to see that mouth widen into a
smile which sets its owners ears back
an inch and causes his eyes to project
like those of a crawling crab.-St. Louis

The Onion he Wanted.

A member of congress received let
ter from a constituent one day which
seemed much like others he had recciv-

folding room and ask for Smiths onion

'No such report here, sir" the clerk
responded. The only onion report
know Of is the one issued by the de-
partment of agriculture"
"Well, you must be mistaken" replied
the member. This applicant is not a
farmer, he's a clergyman. Here. look at
the letter"

EXPECTANCY.

Some day, some day twill all come right.
The tangled skein viii all unwind,
And we will grasp the colors bright
And leave the somber threads behind.
The sun is slow, ana rest is sweet,
Yet fears draw round Us when it sets,
And sorrow comes with winged feet,
And Joy but heralds new regrets
Fen while we taste, sweet drafts will turn
To bitterness that hurts US sore;
We learn to love and, loving. learn
To feel the loved ones loss the more,
And yet, when reasons" light grows pale
There shines through darkness still ray
OF faith untaught which cannot fail
And leads US onward to some day.

During a visit to the south of England
a gentleman was met with who related a
unique and most Interesting experience in
dietetics 1t was that for the last three
years he had lived on one meal a day,
and that meal was composed chiefly Of
apples! Further astonishment was evok-
ed by his reply to my question as to what
he drank when he stated that the juices
of the apples supplied him with all the
moisture or drink he needed. This, he
claimed, was of the purest kind, being
In reality water distilled by nature and
favored with the pleasant aroma of the
apple. He partook Of his one meal about
3 O'Clock in the afternoon. eating what
he felt satisfied him, the meal occupying
him from 20 minutes to half an hour.

A Clever nird.

Mexico has a clever bird called the
melanarpes, which has discovered a new
use for the telegraph pole At the foot
of the post this bird makes a large hole.
In which it rears its family; somewhat
higher up the post it makes an observa.
tory. from which bored holes permit it
to observe the horizon in every directions;
still higher this sagacious bird makes its
storehouse, and thus the pole serves as
its house, fortress and warehouse.

How Hussars Got the Name.

Hussars do not derive their names
from any sort of a warcry or cheer The
name is from the Magyar word houtzar,
meaning the twentieth. Hussars, as
cavalry soldiers. were first confined to
Hungary. In 1445 the crown passed a
law compelling the peasants to supply
one man out of every 20 of their num-
Der, and that man horseman, to the
army Of the state. The first hussars
were recruited from the inhabitants of
the immense Hungarian pains-strong,
hardy fellows, with sinews supple as
steel, who spent their life in the saddle.
