Bread nnd MlIz Extrn.

A distinguished senator of the United
States went to Atlantic City week or
so ago for a few days stay. He took
a room at one of the American plan hO-
tells. agreeing to pay So a day for his
meals and room.
The next morning after he arrived he
was seized with an attack of rheumatic
govt. The doctor he called told him he
must eat nothing but bread and milk.
He stayed at the hotel for five days
and ate bread and milk three times Il
day, touching nothing on the elaborate
menus. On TIE sixth day he sent for
his bill. This the way it came:
ITO room I'D board. five days at SIS.
$40.
ITO fifteen dishes bread and milk at
25c.. 1915"
But" eXpostulated the senator, II
ate none of the meals. You shouldn't
charge me for the bread and milk
The clerk silently pointed to the line
''Dishes not on the bill of fare are
charged extra" and the senator says
he will make it cost them $1,000 by the
time he has told all his friends to keep
away.-New York World.

oldest steam Engine at work.

Last summer. much to ones sur
prise, while at the Glasgow congress
of engineering and directed by the ex-
cellent handbook prepared for the
guidance of members of the congress
II real live Newcomer engine was dis
covered at a colliery at Rutherglen.
near Glasgow. 1t is almost certainly
the oldest engine now at work and
is really n quite remarkable case of
the survival OF the unfittest.
A few years ago an engine of James
Watts manufacture, with sun and
planet wheel complete, was taken
down at London brewery. 1t had
been continuously working for 102
years and was not at all decrepit when
dismounted. 1t now forms an archae-
illogical exhibit in the museum of sgd
hey university. But this engine,
though interesting and of about the
same age as the Glasgow Newcomer,
was of comparatively modern type.
1t did not represent an extinct race
The Newcomer engine at Farme
colliery. Rutherglen, was built in
1909 and has worked continuously to
the present time.-Cassier's Magazine

CHOICE MISCELLANY

The Population OF New York.
The population of the city of New
York. according to the census of 1000,
was 3.437 .202. OF this number 1870
069 are foreign born, all but about 5O.-
600 being natives of Europe. 1t is a
matter of frequent discussion how
many New Workers were born in New
York The census does not tell that,
but its returns do show that 1892, no
of. the population of 3,437, POP were
born In the state OF New York. De
Quoting the. foreign born population
and this New York state population, it
leaves us only 2T4.414 citizens who
were born in other states than New
York. OF the native American citizens
of New York six out of every seven
were born in New York state That
seems rather a surprising piece of in
formation. for the reason that one sees
and hears so much of New Workers
who come to New York from Connecti-
cut, Massachusetts. California, Mary
land, Illinois, Ohio and lately Pennsyl-
vania that he gets an impression that
the town draws heavily and somewhat
impartially from ill states. The truth
is it draws aspiring. successful and
well to do men from all over the coun-
try, but recruits the bulk of its popula-
ton either from near at hand or from
across the seas. Poorer people don't
come great distances to New York to
seek their fortunes unless they come in
steamers.-Harper's Weekly.

PenaItie. In r.rII.ment,-

Reports from foreign parliaments,
says the London Chronicle, show that
in none of them is disregard of the rul-
ings of the chair visited with such
heavy penalties as it is in the mother
of parlfaments, even under the present
standing orders. The only reference,
an apology is contained in the rules
governing the Hungarian parliament.
There, at the discretion OF the speaker,
the name of a disorderly member can
be submitted TO a committee. which
within twentyfour hours can order
either apology to the house or that his
name and offense be published in the
official gazette and placarded In his
constituency" z@

This Is the Yenr of Lace Instead of
Grace.
So much lace is seen this season that
one may call it the year of lace in-
stead of grace. Scarcely anything is
made now without it somewhere, even
the most unpromising materials, such
as hopsacking and burlap. When ac-
tual lace is not added, the fine and or
nate castle braids come in, and they
have almost as much lightness as lace
itself. Lace is put on waists, on
sleeves, on skirts and f1ounces. and
whole dresses are made of it, and
these are trimmed with still more
that is to say, the dress is made of all
over net, and the trimming is added in
so many ways that it would be diff
ficult task to mention One-hundredth of
the number. But most often black is
added to white and white is set on
black. a case in point is shown in the
illustration, where the dress is made
of black chiffon, which should come
under the head of lace, and there are

Queer Valentines.

Probably the queerest valentines
which came through the mails this
year were two which were delivered in
Brooklyn. They were two silver dol
lars and had come from Savannah to
New York without any covering e2-
cept a ? cent postage stamp on one side
and Il small slip of paper containing
the address on the other. They were
intended for Helen and Andrew Birgel,
children who live Mt S39 Greene ave-
nue.. A year ago this aunt surprised
her nephew and niece with similar
valentines. and they came through
safe. All postoffice marks had to be
put on the stamp, as there was no
where else to put them.

HIS HORSES WERE WOODEN
But All the same He Had to Pay For
n Livery License.


n Livery License.
AS his honor sat on the bench from
which even handed justice was dis.
pensed in the town of Lavilla, which
ffourisiied way down in Florida before
the days of Greater Jacksonville, he
was amazed to note among the prison
ers at the bar a ''paIeface."
Casting the eagle eye of the law over
the room, he was agitated still more to
observe billed" shirt and standing
collar and that these were worn by an
other white man.
The marshal, being called on, explain
ed that one white gentleman was ar
rested by him for running a flying
jimmy without a license, and the other
was his lawyer. To man cast in a
less heroic mold than the mayor such
complete smashing of all records and
invading of precedent would have been
Waterloo. A white man arrested in
Layilla and q lawyer appearing to
plead in its court! To what are we
coming?
REFRESHING all signs of such strain
on his judicial composure, the mayor
announced that to fittingly mark so
great an occaskh he would disregard
the calendar and take up the white
mans caTe first.
Tbc lawyer demanded the immediate
d.scharge of the Prisoner on the ground
that there was no ordinance requiring
flying jimmy to pay a license and
threw the court on it's "beam ends" by
asking for Il copy of the. ordinance
book.
No one had seen it in years. Many
doubted if there had ever been one. \
whispered consultation was held be-
tween the mayor and the marshal and
n search instituted which revealed the
book. with brick on top of it, supply
ing the place of u missing leg of the
stove.
After looking vainly through the
book for law on' flying jinnies" his
honor delivered judgment as followss
Ordinance No. IL requires all keep
ers, of livery stables to pay n license of
so and imposes fine of twice the
amount for running without a license.
The defendant must pay both the fine
and the license"
But" objected the lawyer. 'this
man don't run a livery stable; die runs
a flying jimmy"
He keeps horses for hire. doesn't
hep
Yes, but they are wooden horses,
and he charges nickel for one ride"
The ordinance makes no fine distinc-
ton. 1t says livery stables require a
license. \ livery stable is place where
horses are kept for hire. 1t makes no
difference whether they are wooden
horses or meat horses. Next case, Mr..
Marshal."-New York Mail and EX-
