New Works Lobster Palaces.

Nobody of distinction of appetite goes to q lobster palace to eat. One goes there i'll gaudy mood or when every other place is filled or closed or with the kind of man who thinks gay ety means oyerdressed women, bedia- moned men, walters rushing with champagne as if they had the fire buckets and g caterwauling orchestra
 At midnight the din and the excite ment incline a sedate man to ask him. self whether he is not in a riot. If you have a lobster digestion, you don't hear the din or feel the maelstrom of OmnibuseS, walters, head walters and patrons swirling about you. A man who is eating lobster has to concen- trate all his faculties, mental, physical. moral and intellectual. on the ordeal
 You have heard no doubt of the young lady who was asked over her first lob ster how she liked 1t. II think" she declared, tits perfectly delicious if there weren't so many large bones in 1t. They look like celluloid, don't they ?"-Richard Duffy in Putnam's.

 Unter den Linden is the center spGe o( Berlin and the hub of the German empire. This magnificent boulevard 1s 10S feet in width, and under the shade of its lime trees the Berliners have a meeting place which is equal h architectural beauty to any in Flu rope. It is lined on either side with magnificent hotels, restaurants and palaces. At the east end of Untcr den Linden. where 1t enters upon the Opera House platz, stands the magnificent monument of Frederick the Great, which is worthy of the real founder If United Germany. To the right of this monument Is the palace of the Emperor William l., now occupied by Prince Heinrich. The north side of ihe Opera platz is occupied by the buildings of the University of Berlin, and next to it stands the Royal libra 1y. which rivals that at the British museum both in it's size and the num- Der of volumes 1t contains. The op- era house itself Is on the south of the platz and Is building of nation oi Ausic lovers like the GerAans.-Areo. naut.

Ae Was . Poor Guesser.

He was a new conductor and anx- lous to expedite matters. When he saw a woman holding two dollar bill in her hand he dispensed with the customary exhortation to pay her fare and began to count out change. There had been drain on his pockets throughout the trip. and he was obliged to interview half the passen- gers in the car before he finally se- cured the desired small coin. Finally the transaction was completed, and the conductor returned to the woman.
 "Fare?" he said.
 The woman fshed a nickel from her pocketbook Then she looked at the two dollar biA.
 "Dear me" she said. How careless I am! I forgot had that money in my hand. Somebody might have stolen it.
 "Chump!" growIed the conductor.
 The woman thought he meant her. but he didn't. He was cursing his own stupidity.-New York Globe.

Rinqs as q Protection.

"I used to be surprised" said clerk In high class jewelry establishment, "when a woman whom I knew was un- married would come in and coaaly se- 3oct handgome solitaire diamond ring, the sort usually sold for an engage ment ring, and then, quite as matter of course, buy a plain gold band of the wedding ring variety. couldn't un- derstand 1t at first, but now I've learned that many unmarried women think two such rings. worn when tray cling. for instance, serve about the same purpose as chaperon. I had a ease the other day where mother came in with her unmarried daughter "a pretty girl hardly out of her teens and bought two such rings. From their conversation l learned that the girl was to take the trip to the Pacific coast unaccompanied, and the mother evidently thought if her daughter was protected by her rings she'd not be so apt to be criticised for being alone. Funny idea, but the women seem to think 1t works well.'-New York Sun.

BOOMING HIS TOWN.
How Young Beard of Trade President

How Young Beard ef Trade President
 "Made Good" With the People.
 Systematic town boosting Is fc@ ture of American business activity which aims at the general good instead. of personal profit. One western toNsA had a board of trade which had slept along for years without doing anytbins: in particular. except eating some fooe once a year at q banquet and listenins Pittsburg Dispatch. The organization became moribund, and it's presidenc- was an honor no longer sought for. The directors met and gave the place to young man of the type i've like to encourage" The young man took his job seriously and went to work. IL wasn't long before he grew an idea Of his own.
 Every family that moved to town hc gpotted. Employment was provided for the breadwinners where necessary and the new people were made to feet at home. When this personal atten, ton had got in its work, 6 represents, tive of the board of trade interviewed the head of the new family. This in, tsrview was incorporated into a letter. mimeograph copies were made, put into stamped envelopes and made ready to mail. Then the letters were taken to the newcomer, and he was asked to address them to his friends "bacE east" The scheme worked like magio and the population boomed. Of thx. Idea many new ones were born. Thc young man has been several times rc. elected president of the board of trade. and he can have anything the people of that town can give him.

Spoiled Hjsfaats.

"A friend of mine," said . Montana man, Ifs defending a damage suit for being party to making a man take the liquor cure without his consent This man had been on a protracted spree of several weeks, and his busi- ness was going to the dogs. My friend thought 1t would be kindly thing to send him to sanitarium for treat ment. He did so, and the man was given the cure for the whisky habit. When he was discharged from the sanitarium the first thing he did was to go to saloon. He called for whis- Ky. He tasted it, but did not fancy the flavor of it. He set his distaste of 1t down to the cure he had been given by my friends orders and imme- dlately began suit for $5O,OOO dam- ages. He says in his complaint that he had highly cultivated and dis eliminating taste for whisky, which had taken years to develop, and that
 was spoiled by the cure. I do not know how my friend will come out, but he is not helping any more down and outs without first obtaining their consent. York Journal.

The Chair of Torture.

The most prominent building in the ancient city of Nuremburg is the cas- tle One of its two towers WAS used for torture, the other served as q prison. The castle also contained a museum of horrors until 1t was pur- chased by the Earl of Shrewsbury and Talbot, in whose possession these rel les now lie. One of these was the chair of tortur It was very heavily made and studded over the seat and at the elbows with blunt topped spikes To 1t the victim was tightly bound. and in short time discomfort began to manifest itself and in time became unbearable. During its continuance the torture was increased in several ways by means of wedges being pass ed between the legs and screws being applied to the thumbs until they be- gan to bleed.

President Cleveland was often at hls desk in the White House until c clock In the morning and up again at Q. I fell into the way of working until about l o'clock in the morning. and because of the oppressive heat l kept the door of my room wide open Of ten during the hours around midnight 1 would step into the hall in hope of getting stray breath of air Once it so happened that as I looked across the hall to the half open door turned toward mine l saw upon its polished surface the reflection of the hand of a man writing with a patience and an Industry that amazed me. I knew that the president was at his desk. I used to ask the watchman when l went to my task In tho morning at what hour the president had knocked off work the preceding night. l found that 1t was generally about 3 o'clock in the morning, although sometimes when he had finished some severe task that he had set himself he would stop at 2 o'clock. I usually stopped work at o'clock, but l did once or twice hang on until 2 in the hope that I might, If only for once. show an endurance equal to that of the man next door. whose greediness for work had become prOverbial.-George F.

French Peasant Women Hard Workers.

The French peasant woman, Ere tonne or otherwise, works hard as any man. It makes one sad to see the women working in the fields, digging and delving, carrying heavy burdens. driving the cattle, sometimes attend ing to the machinery employed on the farms. One wonders whether hus- bands and fathers appreciate it all, especially when you hear some of the ballads. for ballads are supposed to reveal the soul of people. I heard one the other day of which the refrain Is as follows:
 Dear is my good wife Jeanne.
 Her death 1 should deplore,
 But dearer are my beaves,
 Their loss would grieve me n1ore From Plougastel Q'rance) Letter to New Orleans Times Democrat.
