MAKES BEATEN BISCUITS.
Washington Girl of Good Family De- fives Good Income from Her
 Industry.

"A young woman belonging to an old and ,aristocratic Maryland family now reduced in circumstances found it nec
 essary some time ago to bestir herself in order to add to her limited income, says the Chicago Chronicle. She had learned the art of cookery in her early youth, and some years ago she an- nounced that she was prepared to fur nish genuine Maryland ''beaten bis euit' to all who cared to buy. They are to be eaten with cheese in place of the water crackers which are such terrors to folks with tailor-made teeth. and everybody who has tried them is delighted. The young woman has already a thriving trade, and during the past fortnight has hadean order from a caterer in PhiIadel-chia- which

 termined to boom the trade for Accordingly, when she went shop one day, she went into a fashion4 shop and asked for jar of Miss ter's Maryland biscuits as unconce edly as if Maryland biscuits were common as chocolate creams. She pressed the greatest surprise when { shopkeeper said he'd never heard ' them. Everybody in Washington us them. she told him. Within the we 20 different girls from that school call at the same shop to ask for Marylal biscuits. Of course, an article for wki there was so great a demand must kept, so little Miss Carter-on1y tn isn't her real name-was gladden. by generous order from Philadelph' and if the tactics Of her friends in oth cities are successful she will soon able to go into the biscuit business a wholesale way.

Post offices on ocean Liners.

Most of the big liners that carry the mails now have floating post of fees on board, where all letters and postal packets are dealt with while the vessel is blowing her way through the waves. The sorters have by no means an easy time on board, for they are often at work for 12 hours day during the entire voyage. One sort>r on the Kaiser Wilhelm stated the other day that during five months an average of 5S,3 ,36S letters, e20 sacks of papers and SAT registered articles were handled by four men, or an in- dividual average of 14,592 letters, 50- odd sacks or papers and PIP registered articles. In the same period the av- craze post worked on the voyage of the American liners in IT trips were 92, 400 letters, IA sacks of papers and 1,164 registered articles, or 46,2o0 let ters, 72 sacks of papers and 5s2 regis tered articles per man.

KING OF GENTLEMEN.
Career of a Rh ode Islander Who Went to Texas Pennfless and Acquired
 . Fortune.

In the Pierce family cemetery at Deming's Bridge, Aatagorda county, Tex, there is a magnificent monu- ment erected to the memory of A. H. Pierce, known in that portion of Tex as as Shanghai" The monument tells of the virtues of Shanghai. The Shanghai had them chiseled out tc order.
 '.Im not going to wait until I'm dead to have monument raised for me-" said Shanghai. in explaining why he anticipated the future. You may talk as you please about me now, but l don't know what you'll say when I'm dead. I'm entitled to monument and I'm going to make sure of having one, so I've put one in memory of myself
 This monument is of marble and granite. about 35 feet high, and cost, set in place, about $1j,0O0 The ped esta1 is of Texas granite, while there is heroic figure of '.Shang" in mar ble surmounting the whole. Smaller figures commemorative of stirring events in his life are in niches about the pedestal, and panels are chiseled with inscriptions telling of Mir. Pierce's career.
 Texas has many queer characters, but none odder than Shanghai Pierce. He is the richest of the cattlemen, the oldest in point Of active service. and the most enterprising. A thou eand good stories are told about him, some apocryphal,s but the majority true. He. is as well known in bank ing circles in New York as on the prairies of Texas and the big money men of Chicago. sf. louis and Kan sas City know hih almost as we'll as do the people of the larger towns of Texas Nothing is too big, for Shang- hai to take hand i1r. be it a poker gane or. . blind pool ,in Wall street, but the only thing he brides himself on is hiS knpS.eTgc Of cattle. He says he is the best cownaan sin the wofld, nnd it would be difficult to prove that he is wrong in his opin- xens III was q rh arcs raeet etipg with i'll fh9t Gbar1es Hs Hoyt ; 5 sJ1s t5 z 1hAg met
