rHE WAIF's REVENGE.
< Even with . Man who Wouldnt !.
- :&'2 0Uy Her W0xos.s ssl*:


This amusing story is told by the
president zof New Bedford bank,
writes the Chatterer, in Boston Her
aid. One day not long ago he and
other officers and directors were en-
gagged in business meeting, held in
the directors room of the bank, and as
they believed themselves secure from
intrusion they were much surprised
to see poor little wait enter the room
something which any man of bust
ness affairs would not dare to do I'M
der such conditions. The little girl,
shabbily clothed and pinched looking,
had all unconsciously entered on for
hidden ground, but this she didn't real
ize, and at once went to the men seat
ed about the big table, Offering them
small cakes of soap for sale.
The very first director whom she
approached shook his head, patient
at the interruption of business, and
said, sharply: II never use it," The
tiny pedd.er3 unabashed, went from
man to man-al the others, out of pity
for her wan little figure, buying of her.
AS she started to leave the room, after
thanking each purchaser, the girl
hesitated a moment in front of the di.
rector who never used soap, according
to his own declaration, and, looking
him over from head to foot, said, dis
painfully: "Well, yer look it," and
then she swept out like duchess.

TEARS THAT ONIONS BRING.
They Nay BE Avoided BY the Follow.
Ing Exceedingly Simple
Device.

The distressing flow Of tears al
we'll as the smarting of the eyes that
attlict those preparing onions for
cooking or for the table may be
easily avoided by means at the COM
mand of everyone. The pungent odor
which affects the delicate membrane
surrounding the eyes is due to a
sulphurous oil which volatilizes rapid
~ when the tissue of the vegetable
is broken in any way. To avoid the
effects of this vapor is easy if q
small pared potato is stuck in the
end Of the knife with which the cut
ting is done. A chemical affinity at
tracts the fumes and their presence
is not manifest to the operator till
the potato has reached certain de-
gree of saturation, when it can be
readily replaced by another. I'LL
Onions are among the finest nerve
tonios we have, and if spring onions
are chopped and spread between
sliced bread and butter they form q
sandwich which, if eaten at supper
time, will do great deal toward in
suring good nights sleep.

SECONDHAND PLAYING CARDS
Queer BuslAoss Of Which An RlAevav
New York Nan Has tie
Monopoly.

There il an elderly man residing on
First avenue, New York, who has been
earning living for many years by buy
ing and selling secondhand playing
cards, says the Sun. He pays from
one cent to four cents q pack for
double pinocle decks and an average
of two cents q pack for regular decks
of So cards.
After buying the cards he takes
them to his home where his wife
cleans and scours them and puts them
in the sun to dry. When they are dry
he takes them around to the saloons
on the East side and 6sposes of them
at prices ranging from four cents to
nine cents a pack.
In this way he. earns from a dollar
and half to three dollars a day. He
has . monopoly of the business in New
Very frequently he gets hold Of
cards in good condition which have
been discarded by poker players who
change packs for luck. These cards,
of course, bring higher prices than the
old greasy ones Of his regular trade.

DIsFIGUREMENT OF

barge in the old location below the
ferry lapding preparatory to begin

Ii is said the company is endeavor-

erect an office on the river bank
north of the Seventeenth street pas
senger station. II is to be hoped
that this permission will not be
Forthcoming. Both the city and the
railroad company in question have
expended time and cash in the en-
deavor to make the river front pre-
sentable. and il would not be the

can just as well be located in some
