Letter That Really Was Mailed.

Out of the broad window of fifth
story fiat young man and a young
woman thrust half their bodies just as
another young man in a silk hat and a
newmarket coat came out of the en-
trance hall and started to walk across
the street. He was carrying a white
envelope in his right hand.
Hold 1t upl" shrieked the girl from
the windows hight.
Fright before your eyes!" howled
the man beside her, note Of glee in
his voice.
Without turning his head the man
on the street held the envelope up
before his eyes with a firm grip and
a do-or-die expression on his face.
When he reached the letter box on
the corner he dropped the envelope
into 1t, and, turning toward the house,
made a low bow, with his hat in his
hand.
Hes done IT." shrieked the girl.
"Hurrah for Jimmyl" yelled the
man.
1t was their way Of seeing that let
ter given to a man to mail really

Napoleon said that the best fed

for the Table.
There was dispute in a restaurant
the other evening as to whether chat
ing dish orders were actually cooked
in those vessels or not. The young
woman held to the affirmative, while
her escort declared that the lobster a
la Newburg or other dish was ready
prepared and was simply ladled into
the serving dish. The waiter finally
was called in to decide the dispute,
and gave verdict against both sides.
when get an order" he explained,
81 tell the chef. He gives the order to
one of his assistants. The assistant
gets an order of picked lobster from
the cold meat man and some white
down to him. This he whips with an
egg, pours both into the hot dish and
sauce from the receptacle in the steam
table. These he heats up togetherS
and when | think 1t is ready get
some sherry from the bar and take'it
turns it over to the man who sees
that the chatting dishes are ready.
These are kept filled with hot water,
and as soon as the Newburg is poured
in the lamp is lighted and 1t is sent
up to the table.
Service in a chatting dish does not
especially signify that the dish has
been specially prepared. All special
dishes are cooked after the order has
reached the kitchen. The chatting
dish is merely to keep hot such foods
as lose their SAVIOR when cold."-New

DRINK LESS; GAMBLE MORE.
Habits Of Men and Women Have
Greatly CHANGED in Recent Years.


Greatly Changed in Recent Years.
Much more attention is now paid
to the liver than was formerly the
case. The doctors in recent years
have traced many ills to drink and
have trained their patients to be alb
stemious. That is one Of the causes
OF the decrease which has been re-
ferred to. Another is that the high
spirited man, who was "nobody's en-
envy but his own" who drank to keep
his spirits up, Is no longer a favorite.
On the contrary, he is avoided. The
Increased habit of dining at restau-
rants has also acted as a check. 1t
is to be observed, too, that the bolster
Gus element has been almost entirely
removed. Up to about twenty years
ago "knocker-wrenching," "larking,"
practical joking, the hearty style of
meeting which found expression In
violent slap upon the back, were not
only tolerated, but popular. All that
is discredited now.
On the other hand, there is much
more gambling to-day than there was,
though, so far as cards are concerned,
the stakes are considerably smaller.
Three estates lost in three nights is
an incident which this generation is
ignorant Of. But almost everyone
