AN ECCENTRIC DINER.
The Tall Sforr That l> Told of a Pa-
rlalan Uonrnet.
Purls Is par excellence the city of
gourmets and cranks, and many a
etory concerning them 1ms Rdded to the
gayety of the nations. Here Is one
of the latest, told by a well known
French head waiter: One of the regu
lar customers of a famous Parisian
restaurant used to be a short, thin,
shy and shabbily dressed man whose
no me no one knew, but who gave out
that be was a butter dealer, for which
reason he was called the butter man at
the restaurant In question.
He ate next to nothing, but bis soup
tureen, filled with a soup specially pre
pared for him, was always put before
him. Ho took a few spoonfuls and
had it taken away. Next came a
Whole Allot of beef, from which he
cut the tiniest slice. Then followed
four quails or a large chicken, of which
he ate one mouthful, together with
two lettuce leaves and one radish. Ills
dessert was four grapes—never a sln-
gle one more—and a cup of coffee. A
bottle of the beat claret and another
of the best chnmpngne were served
with the repast, but he only wetted
his lips with n drop from them anil let
them go. He took two of these meals
a day, and the price for each meal was
120 francJ.
But this was not all. Every time
the butter man got up from his ex
traordinary meal ho gave 40 francs to
the head waiter, who put his food on
his plate, since the guest did not like
to handle spoons or dishes; 20 francs
to the waiter, 10 francs to the woman
cashier and 5 francs to the porter.
Thus ench meal came to 200 francs.
The head waiter of the restaurant of
ten did slight errands for him, buying
his dgnrs, etc., and took them to the
Grnud hotel, where the butter man
lived. The little old mnn would then
open the drawer of a wurdrobe filled
with heaps of bank notes of from 100
francs to 000 francs In value and
with an enormous mass of goldpteces.
“Pay yourself,” said the owner, and
the head waiter did so. putting the
bills before bis pntron, who never
deigned to look at them.
One dny the mysterious millionaire
went away nml was never seen again.

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.
The burning of n sulphur candle In n
room Infested with pests of any kind
will relieve you of them In n short time.
Glasses which have been used for
milk should l»e washed first In cold wa
ter and then In hot soapsuds. Tills will
make them clear and shining.
Wilted or drooping (lowers mny be
reTlved'by giving them a quick plunge
Into moderately hot water In which a
few drops of ammonia have been
poured.
Never put soda In the water In which
you wash china that has any gliding
on It. Soda Injures the gliding. In
stead use soap, which answers Just as
well and hus no 111 effects.
In washing cut glass only moder
ately hot water should be used on ac
count of the glass being of varying
thickness, which causes the dishes to
expand unevenly If subjected to ex
cessive changes of temperature.
A Itnttlcsnnke’H WIndom.
The writer of this rode bronchos nud
“punched” cattle on the rnugeu of Mon
tana and Wyoming twenty years ago
and had ample opportunity to study
the habits of rattlesnakes. He knows
how they went Into their holes then,
and It Is doubtful If any Improvement
has since been made In their method.
They start In head first, and one would
promptly come to the conclusion that
they reach the bottom of their holes In
this manner, hut Mr. Snake Is too wily
to keep his hend where he cannot have
nn eye on the rest of his body; there
fore as soou ns he enters the hole a few
Inches he makes a half turn which
brings his hend to the entrance ngain
and then permits the remainder of his
length to glide down out of sight—a
very simple performance, you will sec.

When Grace Wn« Sold.
A Barnard college girl tells In the
New York Times of visiting Iu a house
hold where grace was said at the table
semlocensionnlly. Her curiosity got
the better of her. nnd she asked the
mistress of the house why they didn't
observe the rite regularly. "Why,"
said the lady with some surprise, "we
say grace only when we have reason
to be thankful. We never dream of
giving thanks when we have only
roast beef or beefsteak or some simple
thing like that; but whenever we have
game or something really nice then we
My grace, for It’s worth while.”

Silence Yon Cnn See. |
There Is no such thing ns silence In f
this world. It is an impossibility. That J
Is partly the reason why science has eu
aided us to see It.
The explanation of the paradox Is 4
this: Silence, ns we understand it, aim- j jp
ply means that there are sounds too
dellcntc or too loud for the ear to regis
ter. In other words, when we can't
hoar anything we call that condition
"silence.” But wherever you are there
are sounds around you. Even In the
deepest mine the air vibrates and
makes a sound. An instrument has
been Invented that will catch these
sounds and permit of the vibrations be
ing represented pictorially on a screen,
and In that way you may see silence
and properly understand what It
means.
By comparing the pictures of noises
with those of that condition of things
known as silence we gain an Idea of the
difference between a noisy night, for
Instance, and one when “absolute si
lence reigns,” as the novelist puts It It
Is rather surprising to find so much dis
turbance at the time when everything
appears to be perfectly quiet.—Pear

Diplomatic.
The late Lord Savile used to say. ac
cording to The Candid Friend, “that
high diplomatists had always to he on
their guard against intriguing women,
mainly Russian ngents. who would use
any wile to extract Information. Dur
lng the Uusso-Turklsh war, when Eu
rope was always on the verge of a
crisis nnd Russian statesmen were
most anxious to know what England
would do under given circumstances,
a lady came up to him suddenly at a
ball nnd said:
”1 hear that the Russians have made
a forced march nud entered Constan
tlnople,” hoping no doubt that be would
be surprised into some indiscreet ex
pression.
He merely replied:
“lnecdl And 1 suppose the sultan
hns conferred on them the order of the
Turkish Bath!”
The indy continued gravely:
“And they suy in Paris that If Eng
land does not Interfere the eastern
question is settled lu favor of Russia.”
“And that.” replied his excellency,
“is, I suppose, the new judgment of
Paris.”
Wood Too Hard <o Barn.
There are certain kinds of wood that
are too hard to burn, or refuse to Ignite
for some other reason, such ns Iron
wood nud the good brier root, but It Is
a curiosity to come across a piece of
common deal—the soft, light wood of
which so many lioxcs are made—that
cannot be set fire to.
The piece of wood In question was
common white deal from Sweden, but
was remarkable for Its comparative
weight. It had formed part of a boat
belonging to a whaler and had been
dragged helm,- the surface of the' wa
ter to the depth of more than half a
mile by a harpooned whale. The
length of line and the short distance
from tile point of descent nfter being
struck at which the whale rose to the
surface was n proof of the depth to
which It had dragged the boat.
Only part of the boat came up again
at the end of the line, und it was taken
on board when the whale had been
killed. That piece of wood was so
hard that it would not burn In a gas
jet. The weight of water bad com
pressed It—Loudon Standard.
Birds’ Songs.
A French writer, Henri Coupon, says
that notwithstanding the fact of their
simplicity, the songs of birds cannot be
Imitated with musical Instruments be
cause of the Impossibility of reproduc
ing their peculiar timbre. The notes of
birds, while corresponding with our
musical scale, also Include vibrations
occupy lug the Intervals betweeu our
notes. The duration of birds' songs Is
usually very short, two or three sec
onds for thrushes and clmillnches, four
or five seconds for blackbirds, but from
two to five minutes for the lark.
