WnISKY-LCVING FEET.
strange Case of - Hra0I6iyn Man Who
Is "a DrunI>nrd from His
Ankles Down.

There is a man oyerin Brooklyn who
Is a drunkard only from his ankles
down, says the New York Times.
That is TO say, while he never puts a
drop of Intoxicating liquor into his
stomach his feet are confirmed
topers. They must have their whis-
ky at regular intervals each day or
their owner suffers.
The man who possesses these whis-
ky-loving feet is employed in one Of
the city departments IN the municipal
building, in Borough Hall square. At
least half 4 dozen times each day he
appears in a popular cafe on Fulton
street, near Red Hook lane, and or
ders whisky. He fills glass almost
to the brim with the liquor, but has
never been seen to drink any of it.
Instead, he stoops down. unlaces one
whisky into it. Then he pours the
other half of the liquor into the sec
ond shoe.
This strange performance long puz-
zled the bartenders in the place until
one day one Of them made bold to
ask the man why he disposed of the
whisky in so queer a way. The man
explained that for years he had had
peculiar trouble with his feet. One
day he accidentally found that whis-
ky, when applied to the aching feet,
drove away the pain. When at home
it was an easy matter for him to re-
move his shoes and battle the feet in
the liquor, but when about in the city
this could not be done conveniently.
He finally hit upon the expedient Of
pouring whisky into his shoes, thus
soaking the feet and relieving the
pain. These whisky baths for his
feet formed quite an item of expense
each day, but the relief obtained was
we'll worth it.

HACKETT was {

HORDELIA HACKETT was out
l. mending her fence. This was
nothing unusual, for the fence had
a habit of needing mending, and
for many a long year there had
been no one but Cordelia to do
it, and, in fact, to do all the mend
ing and tending and baking and max
ing for the hungry Hackett family.
She had smoothed the way down into
the valley for her poor paralytic ia
Their, and had paved the way up the
hill of life and into an education for
her brothers and sisters, and was now
thinking of performing the same Office
for the motherless children of an old
er half-brother.

sounded firm, approaching footsteps
on the sidewalk. But the artist of the
hammer did not notice. Her thoughts
were busy in reviewing the past and in
making plans for the future. The week
before, her youngest brother had gone
out into the world to make place for
himself and now she was alone-for
the first rhine in her life. She had
thought to remain in her pretty, vine
covered cottage and read and study
and do just what she liked. But only
this morning a letter had come from
her brother John, inviting her to live
with him and look after his children.
Well, of course she would go; but it
was with a sharp pang she made the
decision.
Presently her nails gave out, and she
rose with the intention of going after
more. But as she did so she saw the
figure of a man leaning on her gate,
and pair of keen, quizzical eyes were
looking straight into her own.
An angry flush rose to her face but
was quickly succeeded by look of
pleased recognition.
For the land sake, Tom Rogers!"
she cried, as she stepped forward and

THE DEUTSCHLAND'S LARDER,
An Average List of the Provision Cur
ried for Regular Trip
Across the Ocean.

For the lover of statistics for their
own sake, and incidentally for the
man who likes to eat well, the list of
the contents of an ocean liners lar
der is attractive reading, says the
New York Sun. Here, for instance,
is about an average supply aboard
the Deutschland at the beginning OF
every voyage between this port and
Hamburg, and, of course, all the
other ships are provisioned in about
the same way.
In the first place there is 40 tons
of ice to keep things eatable and
drinkable, and these are the things
that were on the ice on recent trip
across: Fourteen beeves, 10 calves,
% sheep, PC lambs, hogs, 1900
chickens, geese and game birds, LOO
pounds of fish. 400 pounds of tongues
eggs. IA barrels of oysters and CLANS,
IT'S barrels of potatoes, ~ barrels of
other vegetables, 20 crates of toma-
toes, and celery, 300 dozen heads of
lettuce, 90 barrels of -four, 600
pounds of oatmeal and hominy, 1900
pounds of butter, 1900 quarts of
milk, 300 quarts of cream, 1000 big
moulds of ice cream. four tons of
fruit, 10000 quarts of wine and liq-
nor, $4,000 quarts of beer and 400
tons of drinking water.
OF course all this is not used on
each trip but enough is carried to
provide liberal margin.

Charlie HoXie out or business in a
few turns. Bull Con" made several
stiff bets, and with his usual luck
won, and the dealer did not cut him
down until he attempted to bet $1,000
1t was lucky for the dealer, as Jack
won his $500 bet, and for some time
that was the usual stack on a single
card.
There was another stiff play in the
Northern, when four gamblers pooled
together in order to win out enough

They started in with $50 bets, which
IS the usual limit in the Northern,
and then commenced to double, win
ming every bet until they had $1O5O

,hem all up on the ace and asked the
healer TO turn for the bunch, but be-
