CONEY ISLANDS APPETITE.
Record-Breaking Consumption OF
Chowder, Frankfurters,
Bread and Beer.

Coney Island probably holds the
worlds record for the daily consumption
of bread, frankfurters, clam chowder and
beer, says the New York Sun.
The sale of frankfurters, generally
eaten by the visitors while walking
along the street, is estimated at 800 900
a week. One restaurant keeper on Surf
avenue is said to sell 100, 900 week.
Prior to the rigid enforcement of the
excise law and the compulsory service on
Sundays of a meal with every glass of
beer, the sale of breadstuffs was much
less than it is now. Since Capt Dooley
took command $4,000 leaves of bread,
/ 900 pounds of crackers and $50 900 rolls
are the regular weekly consumption. The
average hotelkeeper makes up from 500
to 1 900 sandwiches every Sunday morn
ing.
The sale of clam chowder at Coney
Island has increased at a remarkable rate.
Not less than $4,000 gallons is sold every
week at the various stands, boats and
shacks along the beach, to say nothing of
the quantity sold in the hotels and served
with dinners.
Another article of food sold in large
quantities at Coney Island is the hot
roast beef sandwich. Not fewer than
200 900 cuts of roast beef and the accom-
panying rolls are sold every week during
the season.
The consumption of beer at Coney
Island is said to be the greatest known at
any summer resort in the world. Ger
ain it is that there is no other place in
the United States where more than 1,000,-
300 glasses of beer are sold in any one
week during the summer months. This
immense quantity of beer is not fur
nished by any one brewery, of course. All
the most popular brews are to be found
at the resort.

VARIEGATED BILL OF FARE.
Different Kinds of Food Upon Which
Various Birds Chiefly
Subsist.

Vegetable feeders form a large class
an interesting field for study as there
is such specialization for feeding on par
ticular kinds or portions of plants.
There are fruit and grain eaters, besides
those which feed entirely on buds, leaves,
berries or nuts, nectar and even pollen.
Lichens form considerable item in the
bill of fare of certain birds which have
their home in the far north. We have
even dedicated certain plants to birds
as duck-weed and partridge vine, says
writer in Nature.
Desmids and 6iatOms, those micro
scopic shelled organisms, which are al
most on the border line between plants
and animals, are devoured in myriads by
ducks and other birds which find nour-
ishment in the mud of ponds and
streams. sitting it through their beakS.
Sponges, at least in decaying state, are
devoured by crows, as | can testify from
observation, after dredging expeditions
in the Bay of Fundy. Gulls and crows
are sometimes seen tearing stranded
jellyfish into pieces.
Starfsh and sea urchins are sought out
by gulls, ravens and crows. They break
into them by main force or carry them
aloft and drop them on the rocks. / have
even seen a bald eagle, when fish and
fish hawks were scarce, break into and
devour a green-spined urchin.
If minute shrimps comprise the entire
food of whales, it is not surprising that
thousands of shore birds are we'll nour-
ished by the myriads Of crabs and
shrimps which make their home along
the shore.

WORTH WHILE.

Oh. they were pleasant. the ways that you

Roses ne'er bloomed as they bloomed In

Oh. they were pleasant. the days that you
talked to me!
Birds never caroled so sweetly their lays!
Oh, they were pleasant by day and by
night!
The world-never world was so full OF de-

Glad were the evenings your sweet voice
rang out to me!
Heaven was open, and angels peeped
through:
A thrush in the thicket out yonder sang
out to me!
The breeze brought sweet perfume to me
and TO you!
And oh, life was glad! no heart hath
throbbed high
AS my own heart then throbbed at the look
from your eye!
And. oh, I was glad! and the whole world
seemed glad to me!
"Gad?" Why not glad, since lived and
loved you?
And never a rift in the Lutte made life

And never a doubt flecked your eyes

Life was enchantment! a dream! and
worth while!
When my soul spread its pinions and
basked in your smile!

So the days passed, and at every turn
Rev Marcus Fairing came upon the
pretty, quiet girl, who went about the
house helping Mrs. Darrow; and every
day he attended to his duties in the
most humdrum manner, and did not
abate one visit to snufy old women or
tiresome old men, or leave off a page
of his daily reading. Mr. Darrow be-
gan to pass sleepless nights.

to herself at last. "Ill send for that

girl like that being a niece Of mine!
Let him see a real society butterfly

and then maybe his eyesll be opened" !"
hurried note of invitation was dis
patched the next morning, and as hur-
riedly accepted.
She's worn out with her seasons S

grimly to Maggie. Such grill
parties and theaters and receptions and
iourneys-and | hear that this winter
she's been gayer than ever. Well, it'll
be an experience for yOu-and for the
minister, too, 1 should think. 1 only
hope she won't drive him away from
the house with her frivOlity."
They were just arising from the table
the next day, when there was a COM

of light footballs and rustic Of skirts,
and she came running ina girl from

away as she came. 1t was moment
or two before her eyes had grown ac-

saw the tall figure at the other side Of

somber eyes that were gazing at her.

She flashed an amazed look At him

moved toward the door. 1t might have
been the laugh that made him start as
though he had been stabbed, but in an
instant he was before her.

her hand was on the knob. But she
did not open the door. She stood there
for a long time. After awhile she
whispered, without turning her head:

1t was Maggie, pale little Maggie,
who touched Mrs. DarrOW's shoulder.
"I am going home!" she whispered
But Mrs. Darrow sat motionless,
staring toward the door with dilated
eyes.
"Land!" was her only remark.

- who the new boarder had lr-
ritated to the last degree.
Somehow, it had come to be under

persuasion should board with Mrs.

they were all benedicts when their
term of incumbency had expired. Her
husband had been a minister, in the

house was still a home for all the
brethren who wandered her way. The

years standing, had been mOthered by
Mrs Darrow, and by her had been In

was just laying aside second mourn

which was SO becoming. AS result,
they had been married just before the
annual conference which called him
to another fold 1t was conceded that
Mrs. Darrow had some talent as a
matchmaker. Mrs. Darrow had heard
it whispered about, herself, and while
denying that she had anything to do
with it, there had been a twinkle in
her eyes 1t was not good for any man
to live alone, least of all minister.
She had been a minister's Wife-she

dropping; flushed cheeks-she knew
all the signs of interest in a Christian
life that were visiable when the min

woman in the amen corner. Why,
there was even old Miss Fannie Jen-

on every word the minister uttered,
with such a look!-and casting scorn-
full glances between whiles at the
Younger sisterhood. She'll come to

said Mrs DarrOw to herself when she
should have been thinking of higher
things; and after she had marked the
text in her Bible she wandered off
mentally into thoughtful review of the
picture hats and the faces under them.
And Mrs. Darrow and circumstance
proceeded to lay traps for the Rev.
Marcus Fairing When he emerged
from his study at the call for dinner,
bIushfng young ladies were there, be-

The Perfect Figure in Wom1an
BY M. PAQUIN,
Noted Partisan DresSmaker.

He beautiful is that which esthetically pleases with
out consideration of utility. Utility, as some phos-
ophers defined it, is the satisfaction Of human wants
The beautiful may, therefore, be quite useless, and
we will consider it from its esthetic standpoint only,
although as always in the truly beautiful in nature,
the beauty of the perfect figure carries health and
utility for human purposes along with it.
