Customers Avo Not Confined, However, to One Inco, but Many Nationalities Mingle in Perfect Good Fellowship-A Chinese IMil of Fare. One night last week a Chinamen minus his pigtail sat in the restaurant of the joss house and smoked a cigarette, Heinhaled the smoke of the cigarette and then blewitb out in a thin cloud, just as though to the manner born. Tt was then nearly midnight, fnd the restaurant presented a curious scene. 'Three distinct races were represent- ed at the tables, At one sat two negro women, with striped red snawls thrown over their shoulders and enormous straw hats mounted on their piles of black hair. Atanother were two United States marines in uniform. Tho big room was dimly lighted by a number of oil lumps hung in brackets around the room. Chineso walters, with bare feet thrust into wooden sandals, the ankles remaining exposed, shuffled back nnd forth between dining room and kitchen, Behind a counter at the rear of the dining room stood the moon faced proprietor and his assistant. | Neither seemed to take any interest in the dinner or waiters. The floor was bare and the furniture cheap, unpainted wood. A sickening smell of opium floated down from a den somewhere above. * When the reporter left the Chineso were in the minority, and the poor and vicious of the Bowery and its tributary streets were represented by blacks and whites enough to occupy most of the tables. IN A QUEER PLACE. Down in the shadow of the joss house a thinly clad negro of nbout twenty years was trging to raise a little warmth by a vigorous oxercise of his to% in a fitful jig. \I say, mister,\ he said 4s the writer ap peared in the doorway; \plmme a nickel to get somethin to eat, will you? I'm dead cold an all gone inside.\ \Well come up stairs and I'll buy some- thing to eat for you.\ The negro bounded up the outside steps and then stopped suddenly. \I say, boss,\ he said hesitatingly, \do you mind if we go to de restaurant across de street?\ \Is that better?\ \Well yes,\ he said, \an dey trow in de cigarattes too.\\ The negro led the way to.a house on the opposite side of Mott street, where a red lantern hung above the entrance. Hewent up one flight of straits and opened a door. A cloud of stale smoke rolled out into the hall. Inside, the scene at the other res- taurant was repeated, only the room was larger and. the lights brighter. | There were also more tables and persons, and the proprietor hustled mvound and saw that everybody was attended to. | Near the door was a counter, at which sab the cashier, and at his elbow was a wooden box full of American cigarettes. As they passed by the negro grabbed a cigarette, and turning around to his companion, said patroniz- ingly: \iPake one. - Dey don't cost nuthin.\ It was extremely hot in the room and the air was stifling. All, including the half score of white women, some of whom were young and pretty, were smoking cigarettes. _ 'The smoke moved along the browned ceiling in solid waves two feet thick. | The sinalier clouds ascending from individual mouths to join the main volume curled snd twisted in fantastic shapes. 'The motley crowd looked like so many devils, and a sober imagination could readily accept the scene as that of a small sized inferno. 'Che waiter certainly looked like a fiend, with his bare, brown arms and nokles and a most villainous countenance. 'The negro led the way to the table which communded a view of the whole room and rt the same time gave a glimpse of the kitchen. MAXY THINGS TO BAT, \Kin L order wot I like?\ asked the negro, The reporter told him to please himself. \Say John,\ said the negro to the wait er, who had come up and was staving va- cantly over the Lexis of both, \bring me 50mg sornm'led egs an some micaroni an \\What you want?\ the waiter asked the reporter abruptly. \Oh give me some tea,\ he replied, \Ton is free,\ said the negro, but the waiter had gone. Presently he returned with the orders. The inaeavoni was not quiteso large as that made by the Italians, | A picce of fat, browned pork lay in the center, A dark, forbidding looking liquid in a small dish was intended for sauce, \Dat's blood,\ said the negro; \nuthin but blood; but \b's good.\ The eggs wero swimming in grease. No bread or butter was provided. At an ad- joining table sit some Chinamen cating from a curious ish of ment and vegetables. A rich brown snuce was poured over all, and some of the vegetables looked like mushrooms. The Chinamen ate with chop- sticks, but the negro received a steel knife and fork. Ten was broughtin a Chinese pot, such as is sold cheaply in all the big stores now. T6 was poured into tiny little cups without handles, half as large as very small after dinner coffeecups. 'The tea was pretty strong, but of good finvor. The waiter rinsed out each cup with the tea be- fore setting them down. There was no milk or sugar. 'The negro was still hungry when he had finished his macaroni and eggs. Heo ordered some cake and rice brandy. The former was in the shape of large balls of dough. Red Chinesecharae- ters were stamped on them. 'The negro dug his finger into the cake and tore off all the outside. \Dat's no he explained; \dey eats ouly de insides.\ . 'The \insides\ consisted of a lot of pre- serves. The reporter tried some of the brandy, which the negro had enjoyed greatly. | Tb was so fiery i6 almost choked him, and the flavor was not particularly pleasant. He noticed a dish of vegetables that looked like Brussels sprouts going to an adjoining table and asked a Chinaman what they were. \Bamboo sprouts,\ said the Chinaman in very good English; \'they are very fine.\ \This restaurant seems to have a varied bill of fare,\ suggested the reporter. \Yes said the Chinaman, \but ib is nothing compared to the restaurants of San Francisco. | That is where you find the fine Chinese restaurants,\ 'The reporter walked over to the propri- ctor, who talked freely and intelligently. \I have kepéa Chinese restaurant,\ he said, \in San Francisco, San Jose, Snera- mento and Clhatleston. San Francisco is tho best place I have been in. I had lots of nice white Indies and gentlemen for cus- tomers there.\ The reporter remained in the restaurant until half past 1 clock. | During the time he was there many newcomers: arrived, but few diners wont nway. | Everybody scomed inclined to be leisurely. The res taurant was in full b ull night, Whites blacks and Mongolians mingled without sicn of prejudice --New Vork Sun.

Tho flying seabird mocked the floating dulse; \Poor wnndcrlng water weed, whore dost thor go. Astmy.'upou the ocean's restless pulse?\ Tt said: \I do not know. \Ata cliff's foot I clung and was content, Swayed to and fro by warm and shallow waves; Along the coast the storm wind raging went, And tore me from my caves. \I am the bitter herbage of that plain Where no flocks pasture, and no man shall have Homestead, nor any tenure there may gain But for a grave. \A worthless weed, a drifting, broken weed, What can I do in all this boundless sea? No creature of tho universe has need . Or any thought of me.\ Hither and yonder, as the winds might hlow, Tho seaweed floated. Then a refluent tide Swept it along to meet a galleon's prow-- \Land ho!\ Columbus cried. ~F. Cavazza in Youth's Companion. When Hawthorne Spoke. In the autumn of 1802 Robert Chambers had given me a 'ctter for Emerson, which made him ask mic to spend a day with him at Concord. Hq seemed to be the beau ideal of a contented and virtuous sage. Placidity and serenity were, to my mind, the chief characteristics of his face and manner. - His conversation flowed without the slightest effort, copiously and harmo- niously. He took me all over Concord, pointing out the Hons of the war of inde- pendence, He seemed proud of the wealth of his New England orchard, the apple trees having done specially well that year. Among others, Emerson had asked Haw- thorne to meet me. As usual, he hardly ever spoke, and I only remembered his breaking his apparent vow of silence when appealed to by a Mr. Bradford. 'This gen- tleman, after a fiery denunciation of the south, having come to the end of his pero ration, passionately turned to his silent lis- tener with the words, \Don'b you agree with me?\ 'Then Hawthorne astonished him by uttering the monosyllable \No after which he again relapsed into silence -Cornhill Magazine. Strength of Limpets, . Some interesting experiments have-late- ly been made in England for the purpose of discovering the amount of force exerted by the limpet in holding to a rock. 'The limpets were not chosen specimens, but just taken at random, and chis is how the experiments were conducted: The shell was bored and n delicate spring balance was attached to the creature as it lay on the rock. - By means nf this the strain was gradually increased until the limpet came away. j Twonty experiments gave the following average results: The average shell was 1.07 square inches, and the pressure sup- ported was 22.5 pounds per square inch, To detach the animal a force equal to 54.3 pounds per square inch of the surface ad- hering to the rock was needed. The great- est adhesive force noted was 71.1 pounds per square inch of foot surface, and the least was 37.1 per square inch.-Parson's Weekly. A Vegetable Fly Trap. An oddity pointed out to the interested visitor at the government gardens is the so called \eruel plant,\ which belongs to the \fly trap\ order. 'This vegetable Nero kills just for the pleasure of being a murs derer, | 'The leaves of the cruel plantexude an intoxicating honey, which regularly at- tracts flies, bees, butterflies and other busy little flutterers. 'The slightest touch of theso little creatures causes the leaf to close in the real fly trap fashion, squeezing the intruder out of all semblance of an in- seet. - As soon as death stops the struggles of the insect and the irritation ceases the leaf slowly opens, drops the mangled re- mains to the floor and automatically sets itself for another victim.-St. Louis Re- public. An Air Blast Washing. In sawmills using pneumatic pipes for taking away the sawdust it is found that the back of the saw usually throws up & good deal of fine dust in spite of the ait suction. 'This difficulty has now been overcome in many instances by an inven- tion for admitting air to the saw hopper in such a way as to cause it to impinge on the sides and teeth of the saw and thus give it an air blast washing.-New York Tinies, Ho Was Right. Younger Brother-Nellie, if you had lived in the daysof Ananias and Sapphira you would have been dead long ago. Nellie (indignant)-L am sure, Bobby, I never told what wasn't true in my life. How can you be so unkind! Younger Brother-Why, they lived about 1,500 years ago. You wouldn't have hung on as long as this, would you?-Kate Field's Washington, The Oldest New Yorker. In all probability the oldest New Yorker is Eri Gray, formerly of Roxbury, and now living at the age of 109 years on the county poor farm at Delhi, He eats as hearty q' meal as anybody. He says he was born in Connecticut in 1788, and once worked for Jay Gould's father of his farm near Roxs bury more than sixty years ago.-N ew. York Sun, Lamb Liked London. Charles Lamb was an admirer of Lone don, and never wearied of wandering about the streets. Without London he considered life would scarcely be worth living; he \would not exchange the dirti« est dray frequented alley for Skiddaw and Helvellyn.\-Hygiene. ' A. Remedy for Chills and Fever. From Maryland comes a curious remedy, for chills and fever, 'Take the skin fro { tho inside of an eggshell, go toa young persimmon tree three days in succession and tie a knot in the skin each day.-Kan« sas City Journal. ° An Irish editor being unable to obtain & sufficiency of news for his daily paper,] made the following extraordinary an- nouncement: \Owing to an unusual press), ure of matter we are today obliged to leave several columns blank,\ If your days ave filled up now with petty) pursuits and your mind turns to mean or. vicious thoughts, don't stop to fight these temptations one by one.

WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 13, 1892. An Historic Spot. Bearchamp tower, which is part of the great fortress known as the Tower, in London, stands on the west side of tho Green, a bowlder paved quadrangle, in- closed by the massive gray fortifications. A few trees rise among the bowlders. 'The sun shines on the clean stone flooring of the Green, and the - clouds are driven across the blue siy overhead. In the center a small spaceis railed in. Here Anne Boleyn, Catharine Howard, Lady Jane Grey and Thomas Cromwell, earl of Essex, were beheaded, victims to the passions of a cruel age. Here, too, the aged Countess of Salisbury, condemned to death, refused to lay her head on the block, declaring that \it was nob the head .of a traitor,\ and compelled the execution- er to kill hor standing. One wonders if, as these men and women gazed for the last time at the gray walls around them and the clouds driven across the blue sky, they saw the justice of God above the power of man. The narrow windows of Beauchamp tower look down on this blood stained space. Tt was a prison to which the Tudor kings and queens condemned troublesome people who differed from them in opinion, in politics or religion. 'The walls were cov- ered with inscriptions carved by these cap- tives during long, lonely years. Lady Jane Grey's husband, Dudley, here cut her name, IANE. Two lads of royal blood who fell under Elizabeth's displeasure and were confined here for life have vrritten, \He who sows in tears shall reap in joy.\-Youth's Com- panion. . ’ Upsct His Mind. Several men were in the drug store and were relating incidents wherein druggists had sold poison by mistake. One of them dwelt at length upon the mysterious force that seemed to impel men to do just the thing they fully intend not to do. Ib was this great sense of caution on the part of druggists that led them to administer poi- son when they least intended to do so. The young drug clerk behind the counter was listening to the converation when a lady entered the store and asked to purchase some salts. A cloud of uncertainty, born of the stories he had listened to, seemed to be over the clerk's mind as he filled the prescription, | 'The lady had been gone but a few minutes when something startling dawned on the clerk's mind. \Gentlemen watch this store for me till I return,\ he said, as he dashed out of the door and up the street. They were sure something serious had occurred. Presently the clerk returned, his hands trembling and perspiration on his brow. \Gentlemen he said, in explanation of his absence, \that lady who called wished to purchase salts, but your poisoning stories so upset me that-- \You sold her sugar of lead,\ said two men in the same breath, \No I sold her salts, but I got to think- ing about it and thought I bad made a mistake, and not till I had overtaken her and examined the drug was I convinced that I had not.\-Chicago Times. « Selecting Wall Paper. In buying wall paperib is best to con- sider the purpose for which you wish to usoit. If your room is to contain many pictures a plain paper of neutral tint will sct them off togreatest advantage. White paper, with delicate rings and patterns of gold or silver, makes an admirable back- ground for water colors or colored photo- graphs. Figured or highly decorated pa- pers should be used only when one has few ornaments for the wall, in which case they form an ornament of themselves. . In choosing paper for a room, ib is al- ways well to consider what color predom- inates in the carpet and furniture; buy your paper to match or harmonize with the prevailing tint, and you will be sur- prized at the beauty of the effect. . Expen- sive papers are ugly if they are gaudy or not of the tone of the other furnishings of the room. For a simply furnished room, an inexpensive but harmonious covering will be mosb suitable. Avoid all gaudy patterns for elecping rooms, and let the tints be as soft and warm as possible; dark paper in a bedroom is likely to make the occupant gloomy and ill tempered.-Alice Donlevy in Demorest's. Shortening Up Railrond Lines. I suppose that most people who travel think we travel over the same line, if we are in the employ of one company, all the time, that was originally laid down, That is, they think thas when a railroad is built it never changes its course. Most of the trunk lines are built in a hurry in this country. After they have been in opera- tion for awhile the company begins to figure on how they can make better time. This is not done altogether by increasing the speed, as some may suppose, but by what we call shortening up the line. 'Take this division on which Iam now running, for example. Ihave been here ever since the road was in operation and the road has been shortened on my run nearly eight miles, and it has been shortened between Chicago and St. Joe, Mo., forty miles. The public don't know it. | 'They think we are running faster than we used to. We are making a little better time than we did, but the principal reason why we ave is be- cause we have shortened the line.-An En- gineer in Chicago Tribune, Beautiful Tree Snakes. Among the most attractive of the many kinds of serpents are the delicate and beau- tiful tree snakes (Dendrophis), which very rarely descend to the ground, as they find food enough among the birds and those frogs and lizards which also dwell in trees, The graceful form of the body, the elegance and rapidity of their movements, and the exquisite beauty of their colors have ex- cited the lively admiration of those who have had the good fortune to watch them in their native haunts. The larger kinds attain to a length of over five feet. They are frequently adorned with the brightest colors, green being, however, generally the prevailing tint. They are active by day.- Quarterly Review. Flowers on the Stage. No actor who is imbued with the super- stitions of his profession will give yellow roses to a friehd, nor will he accept them himself, as he fancies the flowers are har- bingers of misfortune, jealousy and loss of friendship. | Some managers will allow no natural flowers whatever to be used by way of \properties\ upon the stage, but that is carrying the matter further then is gsually considered | essential. - Chicago ost. \ French National Roads. In France the macadam road without foundation is preferred to the 'Telford;a binder being used with the broken stone after the latter has been thoroughly com- | pacted. The national roads cost more than the departmental and country roads, as they are constructed for strategic purposes, are wider, and cross the roughest and most scantily populated districts. -New.
