An Imaginnry Lunch.

They We're two-one sober and the
other not, says the New York Evening
Post. They entered a famous, uptown
all-night restaurant. The sober man
ordered poached eggs on thin toast and
tea. The tipsy one ordered broiled lob
ster, a rabbit and ale, and went fast
asleep.
His friend grinned. and at the prop
er time ate his eggs and drank his
tea. With the broiled lobster f1anked
by the rabbit and ale before him his
companion slept on.
The sober one pulled out a cigar and
finished it, He called the waiter and
ordered the table cleared of untasted
lobster, rabbit and ale. Then he walked
his friend with. Come along, me boy"
Where's my lobster and rabbit and
ale?" the sleepy one demanded.
Ate EN-" replied his friend
You've had enough tonight. Come
along"
"All right" was the response, as the
sleepy one complacently waddled out
In that case, at least, an assurance
was as substantial as a fact

The Mosquito.
From the Lewiston Journal.

From the Lewiston Journal.
In the marshes where the bullfrog
sings his mellow serenade,
In the swamps where booms the Bit
tern in the gloomy cypress shade
And the cheerful alligator turks with
in the everglades;
In the cistern, where rain water pours
and trickles down the spout;
On stagnant pools, in grasses, and
most everywhere about,
The bloodthirsty mosquito from the
egg is Matching out.
And once Matched. he comes among us
with his pesky little bill.
And he settles on our persons, very
much against our will,
And, inserting his proboscis, he pro-
ceeds at once to drill
And when through our epidermis ne
has managed. for to bore,
He fills up his little carcass TO the
bursting point with gore.
This is strictly true, though doubtless
you suspected it before.
You think that you have got him and
find out that you have not,
For he keeps one eye wide open to
elude the sudden swat,
And knows just how long it's healthy
" remain upon the spot.
You may screen up all your windows
and hang netting DER your bed,
1t doesn't keep him out because he
stays inside instead.
And you wake up in the morning and
find that you've been bled.
Similarly you may smear yourself with
evil-smelling stuff
That is guaranteed by druggists on
mosquitoes to be rough,
But they seem to quite enjoy 1t, though
it does smell bad enough.
So he breaks our summer slumbers,
robs us of our needed rest;
So he drives us from our porches.
where the vines he doth infegt
And he spoils the fun of fishing, does
this sanguinary pest.
But upon the brute's dement's we'd
endeavor to be dumb;
Wed forgive him all his faults-no in
considerable sum
If he'd simply go about his bloody
business and not hum.

THE ATLANTA DEPOT QUESTION.

In Atlanta it is pretty we'll agreed
building of a union depot until after
the Legislature meets and the special
committee appointed by that body to
arrange for building a depot on the
states property makes its report.
In the meantime there is great deal
of speculation as to the meaning of
the letter. which Capt. ]. w. English,
prominent real estate dealer, recent
ly wrote to Judge Spencer n. Atkin-
son, chairman of the Railroad Commits
sion. In this letter Capt. English ask
ed the commission to use its power to
compel the railroads entering Atlanta
to provide suitable passenger depot &C
commodations there. OF course the
commission has authority to require
the different roads to build depots, but
not to build union depot. and the
people want depot of that kind.
The suggestion Is made that Capt.
English wrote to Chairman Atkinson
at the request of Mr.. Spencer the
president of the Southern Railway, the
idea being that Mr.. Spencer wants to
get rid of the responsibility of oppos-
ing the building of a union depot on
the states property, but desires to
build a depot and intends that 1t shall
be a union one. If ordered to build
a depot it couldn't be said that the
Southern Railway opposed the build
ing of one on the states property. No
doubt If the commission should exer-
else its authority and order the roads
to build depots they would get together
! at once and build a union depot.
The commission. however, will do
nothing until the Legislative Commit
tee makes its report, and the Legisla-
ture acts upon it. Being a state in
stitution it doubtless deems it its duty
! to do all 1t can to forward the states
/ interest, and it is regarded to be to the
| states interest to utilize the states
property for a union depot.
! 1t does seem, however, as II the re-
| sponsihility for a failure to use the
| states property for a union depot rests
upon the city, the City Council hav-
| ing refused to permit portions of Ger
tain streets to be closed. If we under
stand the situation, in order to con-
| struct union depot that would ac-
commodate the railroads 1t is abso-
| lutely necessary TO have portions of
certain streets. Still, if the railroads
should erect a union depot before the
Legislature abandoned it's union depot
| project it would doubtless be said that
they refused to give proper considera-
ton to the states interests, and it
might subject them to hostile legisla-
| ton.

1t was a warm Sunday morning in
church, says the Detroit Free Press.
Fans were f1uttering. hymnals flop
ping, handkerchiefs hopping stream
ing faces; and the minister thought
his audience a little lax in attention.
Finally he led up to a rebuke for their
lack of consideration for sacred and
important things. Said he:
People are prone to attend TO the
unimportant things of life
And he gave a few examples to IL
lustrate his idea. Presently he made
his pertinent application.
Now" said he, you are attentive
to your own comfort this morning,
to the sinful neglect of the holy word.
Take no thought for the heat" he said,
dramatically, "for you may be dead

Last year Porto Rico sold to Aus
tria, Spain, France, Germany and Italy
100000 900 worth of coffee, and to the
United States $4,000 worth. This is
a little extraordinary, in view of the
fact that Porto Rico has the reputa-
ton of raising coffee that is vastly
superior to the coffees of Brazil. Cen
trail America and Java. Is it the case
that Americans have not acquired a
taste for good coffee, or will they not
pay as high prices for a superior arti-
Gle as the people of Europe? Since
they are VIGOROUSLY free spenders, it
is probable that the first suggestion
is the correct one.

AWKWARD FOR GOVERNMENT
German Imperial Health Council Puts
Ministry I'm COrner-Had Not Con-
demned BOracic Acid.

BERLIN, April 3.-The government has
been placed IN a most awkward position on
the prohibition OF the import of meats
treated with boracic acid by a declaration
today OF the Society for the Protection OF
the interests OF German Chemical Industry
that the government did not consult the
imperial health council. This body, COM
posed Of eminent specialists from all parts
OF Germany, is advisory to the imoerial
health ONCE. The governments statement
in the North German Gazette on Saturday
affirmed that the council was unanimously
for prohibition. 1t now appears, according
to the chemical society, that the matter
was never brought before the council.
A prominent member of the council in
formed the imperial secretary of state for
the interior, Count Won Posadowsky- Wehner,
prior to the publication Of the statement in
the North German Gazette, that he was
surprised that so important a step had been
taken without consulting the council, which
was decidedly against the prohibition.
The Freisinnige Zeitung tomorrow will
say that II learns that Count Won Posa-
dowsky- Wehner was in the highest degree
astonished at this information. since he had
been assured that the health council had
pronounced unanimously for prohibition.
Further inquiry in ministerial circles
failed to bring out anything Teconciling the
governments statement that the health
council supported the prohibition with the
fact that II did not do so.
