Head Waiter Loses Out.

About the meanest man I've seen
yet" said a head waiter yesterday.
was Il little chap that blew in here
Saturday He looked to be from some
little town, and ! guess his trip to
Cleveland was about. the biggest thing
he had ever done. l hadn't more than
seated him. until he pulled out two or
three coins and handed me a quarter.
II guess 1t made him mad when he
found out that ! wasn't the man that
waited on him. Before he gave any
thing to the man who took his order.
he called me over and said l would
have TO give him back that quarter.
Don't you think that waa a shabby
trick for man to do?" Cleveland

French Rags High Priced.

A collector OF rags offered the man.
agcr OF a large boarding house u GER
tain price for n bag OF wornout linen.
These rags are worth more than
that" said the shrewd landlord. Il
run several houses in this neighbor-
hood. and all are occupied exclusively
by French guests"
The dealer apparently considered
that remark sufficiently explanatory.
lie cast hasty glance upon the con-
tents OF the bag. then raised the. price.
And he could well afford to raise 1t.
too" said the landlord. Even at that
rate he will make money of the
things. French rags the world over
bring higher price than any other.
The reason why? French people wear
better quality of linen and their
cast-off garments are In demand by all
manufacturers of high grade paper"

Ubiquitous Japanese.

Japanese naval officers are ubiqul-
tous," said an old traveller the other
day. Il was in London few months
ago when ! saw dapper little man in
the uniform of a navy lieutenant on
the Strand. There was something in
his manner which caught my atten-
ton, and wondered where 1t was
that had seen him before. 1t took
nearly an hours hard thinking to call
II to mind, but finally succeeded.
When last beheld him he was a
wardroom steward on an American
battleship. | never see Japanese
waiter or valet on board manof-war
or in an officers club on n military
reservation but | wonder who he is
and whence he came"

Did Duty Under Difficulties.

gatekeeper in the employ OF the
Hessian railway company was recent
ly the hero OF an amusing incident.
His wife being i'll. he went himself to
milk the goat. but the stubborn crea-
ture would not let him come near II.
as II had always been accustomed to
have this operation performed by Its
mistress. After many fruitless efforts
he at length decided to put on his
wife's clothes. The experiment sue
ceeded admirably. but the man had
not time to don his disguise before
the train approached. and the gate
keeper ran TO his accustomed post
His appearance produced quite a sen
sation upon the officials of the pass
ing train. The case was reported and
an inquiry instituted. which. however.
resulted in his favor, as the railway
authorities granted the gatekeeper a
gratuity of 10 marks for his faithful
discharge of his duties.

TOO SURE OF HER CATCH.
How Young Woman Just Missed Hook
inq Prize Of the Season.

Walter Rothschild. the richest bach.
elor in England. had a close call with
matrimony when he was young man.
A designing mamma had managed to
get the heir to the Rothschild millions
interested in her daughter. and the
daughter did all she could to lead the
interest up TO the point Of a marriage
proposal. One night. at watering
place. after Rothschild had retired to
his room. he heard voices under his
window which he recognized as those
of the young lady and her mamma.
Has he proposed yeti" asked the old
woman Not yet" answered the
daughter. but I'll have him hooked be-
fore long. If only can endure his con-
versation. Tonight he bored me almost
to death talking about his kangaroos." :"
Il am sorry" said Rothschild. putting
his head out of the window. Ito have
bored you with tales OF my animals.
Forgive me. shall never do so again"
And he never did.

VIRTUES OF CEDAR CHESTS.
Give Immunity Against Moths Only
for Short Time.

"The old-time cedar chests are COM
ing into favor again." says the man
ager OF a department store. They
have never been entirely disused,
though the call for them has not been
brisk for many years. Still. once In
awhile. a customer would come In
and refuse to be satisfied with any
thing but cedar chest. The idea was
that the resinous odor OF the cedar
kept away moths. and that clothing
packed In a cedar box was forever ~
cure against any damage by destruc-
tive insects. The notion, however, 10
true only In part. A new cedar chest
does confer partial immunity for wool
en- goods; but In the course OF Few
years. the cedar loses its fragrance
and is no more OF a protection than .
box made of pine or any other wood.
But the idea cannot be got out OF the
peoples heads that the odor Of cedar
is the death of moths, and as long as
they believe 1t and also use plenty OF
camphor. as most of them do, the be-
lief In the efficiency OF the cedar
does no possible harm"

City Youth Could Believe Much but

The younger son Of wellknown

Nature Fake.

Ants are really very long-li con-
sidering their .IInuteness. A natural
list had two queens under observation
for ten years ana one OF Sir John
Lubbock's ant pets lived into her If

OF life after severe injury. Following
the loss of the entire abdomen they
sometimes live two weeks. and In one
case headless ant, carefully decapi-
tated by aseptic surgery. lived for Al

Gar as Composer Of Music.

For the last IS months the czar has
been virtually prisoner in one of
his own palaces and in the intervals
OF state work he has solaced himself
with composing music and writing
verse. His poetry is melodious and
carefully polished and his music Is
melancholy and inspired by a spirit OF
fatalism. Some three years ago some
OF the czar's poems were published
under the pseudonym OF Olaf, with
music by his cousin, the Grand Duke
D'Assia, but he has himself set some
of his verses to music with consider
able amount of taste and a real knowl.
