CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP.
German Hotel KssD@r's Opinion,
on HOtheadod Peoples.

A German Hotel KSSD@r's opin1aas
on HOthsadod Peoples.
Il think that the Americans are alto
gether too quick to pick u quarrel. Z"
said q German hotsl keeper IN Harlem
who had just had petty tussle In put
ting out an unwelcoms customer.
They are not to be compared with
the French" said an American lawyer
who happened to drop in. why, you
know about those French apprentices,
how they are always ready to nght
and often lose their lives over q few
words"
I've heard about these apprentices"
said the German. I'VE have them in
our country. They roam around the
country. But what OF thatr'
Yes" was the answer. "A party OF
them. with n leader and representing
some craft, will, for instance, meet an
other party OF apprentices. They are
organized into different societies, each
intensely jealous OF the other. and II
two such bands are different societies
there is a fight in an instant. First the
leaders come to blows, and then the
melee becomes general. They fight
with fists and sticks until the road Il
Uttered with the wounded and some
times the dead"
The German, not to be outdone by
the French. said before he had thought
twice: That's nothing. Why, our stu
dents in the universities have fights
They belong to different societies and
fight with sabers- Because OF some lit
tie Insult often one will have his head
fairly cut open"
"And yet you complain about the
Americansl" said the lawyer as he
laughed to see how the German had
stepped into his own trap.-New York

A MONTE CARLO LEGEND.
The Story the Creupiers Tell of tn
Wandering Jew.

Ths Story the CrsupiSrs Tell of the
Wandering Jew
All gamblers are superstitious. and
some Of their pet superstitians are now
50 old as to have acquired the re9pec-
tabulty e< venerable traditions. The
oroupiers ef Monte Carlo have az in
tsrSsting set Of traditional supsrsti-
tionS OF their own, most az which are
entirely unknown TO the aapy thou
sands Of visitors who tey with the
tiger In that gilded court 81 chance.
The most striking 81 these IL the
story Of the Wandering Jew, which the
croupiers believe as ferveRtly a. they
DO that the hank VIII down any "Eys-
tenn that svsr was Invented. There
u one day. and one day Oily. In the
ysar ON which the rooms OF the casino
at Monte Carlo are closed-thRt u ON
Good Friday. When the rooms are
opened en the following day, they say,
the erSt person to enter ths Grand
N0uvelle Sale de Jeur' Is An old man
of venerable appearance. He wastes
no time; but. walking straight to one
OF the tables, he places with tbs trem-
bling fingers Of extreme old age 3
piece OF money upon certain number.
The wheel Is turned, the creupier's ma
sal cry falls upon the ear. announcing
that the number selected by the old
man has won. With bitterly savage
exclamation the aged man seizes his
winnings, throws them about him and
hurries from the room to disappear, no
one knows where.

he can lose a bet at Monte Carlo he
must continue his wanderings. Get on
the blind side" OF any OF the old crou-
piers Of Monte Carlo. and they will tell
you this legend. Have they seen him
or course they have and are fully per

stranger is none other than the man

CarefuInesa of SurReonn.

1t is an object lesson in goodness to
see surgeon washing his hands after
performing an operation, says the Chi
cago Chronicle. He works of course
with sleeves rolled up to the elbow. so
that the washing extends from the era
zy bone to the tip of the finger nail
First there is a hard scrubbing with
plain soap and sterilized water. This is
followed by q swabbing with tincture
Of green soap and steriliZed water
Then comes q genuine securing with
equal parts OF quicklime and soda in
sterilIzed water and finally rinsing In
a solution q to 1000 Of bichloride Of
mercury. Without these four separate
washings no surgeon would think Of
venturing out to scatter germs OF dis

Care In Choosing Glasses.

Z dealer in optical instruments de-
clared that 1t gave him real pain to
note the careless manner in which half
the persons in New York wear glasses.
at is a wonder to me-" he said, that
they don't bring on blindness. In the
first place. the frames should always
be fitted to individual faces instead OF
being picked up unfortunately with
out regard for facial peculiarities. The
size of the lenses is another important
consideration. Most OF the glasses
see on the street are too small. They
should be as large as the face OF the
wearer will permit for lens OF good
size not only affords better protection
to the eye, but is more becoming than
a smaller one. Another tribulation OF
the weak eyed is due to the reflection
from the edges of unframed glasses.
The eyelashes should be attended to in
order to get the best results from a
pair Of spectacles. Many lashes are
worn so long that they brush against
the glass. This is decidedly injurious

Girl. Help Waiter. to Cheat.

Among hotel employees sex does not
appear TO make any difference so far
as honesty is concerned. says the
Brooklyn Eagle. Certain young women
who act rs checkers In hotels work
with certain walters Whenever one OF
the girls obtains a position the men
soon follow her. and the hotel proprie-
tor is victimized accordingly. The wait
er who is In league with the checker
makes a small private mark on the
check with which he desires to cheat
She sees ii, and instead OF stamping
the prices against the articles ordered
she puts her fingers over the figures on
the die so that slight blotch is all
that is recorded in the place for figures.
The walter does the rest. She keeps
her account against her confederetes.

Daniel K. Goodlse, fer many years q
distinguished rsEident OF Washington
and chairman OF the commission to free

story:
one morning soon after the surren-
der at AppOmattox 1 was one OF q
group Of gentlemen standing on Penn

mentous questions Of the day. As we
talked General Grant rode toward US,
smoking his usual cigar Recognising
several OF Us, he dtsRounted and toIaed

What's the newsr he asked.
Il answered, We are discussing a

rectly from the White House and
which gives me no little concern

ais of the late Southern Confederacy.'
Who was your Informant asked
General Grant
81 gave him the name OF the gentle
man who had given the information.
General Grant quietly said, Thank
you, gentlemen remourted his horse
and rode rapidly away toward the
White House.
I'VE leisurely turned our steps In
the same direction, and as we entered
the portico we saw Grant coming down
the steps looking more excited than l
had ever seen him before. 1 went up
stairs and met a friend who had been
In conference that morning with Mr.
johnson on the subject above men

any request TO make Of the presidant

Semptorily demanded, do you intend

johnson replied. You need not consId-

as general commanding the army Of

4 Lesson In Hospitality

A curious instance Of provincial hos
pitality In a small Tuscan town is re-
corded by Luigi Villari In italian Life
In Town and Country"
A lady Of very noble birth and OF
considerable wealth was giving a mu-
steal party-it was the first time she
had invited friends to her house that
season. The entertainment began at
Q p. N. and lasted till 7. No refresh
msnts were provided for the guests,
but at half past 4 servant appeared
and solemnly presented a cup of choco-
late to the hostess and one to her moth
ar. This, of course, would only be pos
sible in a very provincial town. In the
more civilized spots excellent refresh
ments are always offered to the guests.

THE SEWING MACHINE.
unsuccessfuI Inventions That Pre-
csded HOws's Patent In 1916.

UnsucceSsful Inventions That Pre-
csdsd hOws's Patent In 1876.
The technical beginning Of the sew
Ing machine industry in this country
was Sept. 10, 1S4e, when Elias Howe,
Jr., obtained patent for what grew
Into the first really practical sewing
machins. Only three OF the hrst Howe
machines were made, however, and
one OF these was deposited in the pat
snt oface In Washington as u model.
It was not until after 1850 that a fac
tory for the making Of sewing ma
chimes was built, % the enormous bust
ness OF today has grown uD In a short
half century.
While HOvSs Invention marked the
beginning Of sne0sssful industry he
was BY no means the pioneer u ef-
forts 30 substitute mechanical for hand
sewing. As far back as ITO Thomas
Alsop patented In England a machine
for embroidsring. Another. machine
for embroidering In a loom was invent
cd By John Duncan in 1904, and TWEEN
ty-hve years later another Englishman
named Holman patented still another
embroideIing machine.
The Arst recorded attempt at me
chanical sewing was the invention of
Thomas Saint, who took out a pa tent
In England In ITO for a machine which
executed the old crochet stitch. 1t
was not a success, but some Of the
features of the Saint machine appear
In the perfected machine OF today.
Bartholemy Thimonnier patented in
France In 1880 the first sewing ma
chine put to practical use Eighty of
his machines were In use for sewing
army clothing in 1s41, when a mob de-
stroyed them because convinced they
would drive seamstresses out Of en-
ployment. Thimonnier built new and
better machines, but all his work was
again destroyed by angry artisans in
1S4S.
John J. Greenough took out the first
patent for a sewing machine Issued in
the United States In 1912. 1t was In
tended to sew leather, but was Of no
practical use.
sewing machine in 1884, but failed to
protect 1t by a patent. After Howe's
machine appeared Hunt declared It
embodied the ideas of his machine of
1884, but he was unable to establish
his claim.
A small army OF inventors appeared
after Howe's patent had proved sue
cessful, and their genius was devoted
to perfecting every part OF the ma
chine. How well they have succeeded
is shown in the $500 patents for sew
ing machines and attachments issued
by the United States since 1880 and In
the fact that the American sewing ma
chine leads all others in every country
IN the world.-New York Herald.
