Wealthy Women Beggars.
Several welts ago two plainly dressed
middle aged women appeared on the
streets here os mendicants. Both had
accordions, from which they pumped
the most doleful specimens of harmony
imaginable, and to the accompaniment
they sang in high, cracked voices. With
characteristic American careless gen
erosity, the crowds contributed nickels
and pennies by scores and the women
reaped a liberal harvest.
Among the hundreds who saw the
women here was a lady who recognized
them. “I have seen them in New York,
in Portland, Ore., and in Salt Lake
City,” she said. •*They go to Salt Lake
City every year to look after valuablo
property they have there. The troth is,
I am told, they are wealthy. They
saved several thousand dollars from
their street earnings and invested the
stun in real estate in Salt Lake City. #
Then the boom came on there and in a
few man ths the women were rich. Now
they havo valuable investments in vari
ous cities, and their business judgement
seems excellent. The great bulk of
their wealth is in Utah, however, and
their property there is growing more
valuable every day.
“The women like their old profession
of harping to the public, and stick to it
as industriously ns ever. They make a
surprisingly largo income from it and
save a great deal every year, which goes
to swell their investments. The possi
bility of these women following men
dicancy as a profession, and prospering
at it, is a striking comment on the un
thinking, unquestioning generosity of
tho American people.” — Indianapolis

“The giving of leasos to nil sorts of
tennnts is not so prevalent ns it used to
be,” n real estuto agent said. "Exileri-
enco lias shown tlint a tenant whose
financial responsibility is limited to a
modernto income cannot ho held to the
provisions of a lease, and that most ten
ants tako advantage of this fact. Tho
law of this stato favors tho married
debtor who has no property but his
household effects and is dependent on an
income for his living. In fact, the own
ers of houses and flats rarely sue tenants
who break their leases nowadays, and
rarely recover anything when they do.
“I sued u man recently who had occu
pied one of my flats and had given it up
a year before tho lease expired. He did
not even defend the suit. When I had
him summoned in supplementary pro
ceedings he testified that his income no
more than paid his living expenses, and
that his household effects belonged to
his wife. Ho was released, and now I
can whistle to recover my judgment
As a rulo tenants want leases, bat we
don’t give them if wo can avoid doing
bo with ordinary apartments. We have
come to the conclusion that only the
owners aro bound by tho provisions of
tho leases, while tho tenants do as they
.please about observing them.” —New

England’. Tustc In Smoking.
The English cigars aro made of Amer
ican tobacco, hut fail in manipulation
according to our standard. They look
bright and “woodon” rather than like a
natural leaf product. When cigars were
introduced into England they all came
from Cuba, and this being before the
days of steam the goods were fire
or six weeks in transit, packed in
the vessel’s hold with no ventilation.
Tho cigars being made in a humid cli
mate, packed while fresh, fermented and
generated a fungus (like mites in cheese),
which tasted very bitter when smoked,
utterly destroying their value. It
then discovered that by subjecting the
cigars to the dry beat of a kiln the life
of the fungus was destroyed and the
cigar became smokable.
It is owing to this fact that tho En
glish insist on “dry" cigars to tho pres
ent day, and pinch them to see if they
crsckleiefore they boy them. Tho cigar
dealers Knowing this mark a date on the
bottom of cigar boxes when fresh stock
is received, bat tho date marked is six
months back, so a box marked Oct 1,

Among the numerous magnetic sepa
rators one of the most remarkable is
that for the extraction of iron from the
sea sand. It is stated that ordinary sea
sand contains fromStoTper cent, of iron,
enough to gi vo s large excess over cost of
extraction. Tho machine consists of a
cylinder, whose surface is composed of
electro-magnets, revolving on the inside
of an endless canvas belt The Band is
fed to the belt, and a spray of water sepa
rates tho particles, tho iron being re
tained by the powerful electro-magnets
and carried off on the belt to a recepta

Tbo Hired Man Got It. but He Fulled te
Comprehend u Word of It*
“I remember, n said the reconteor of
tho party, “a dispensation of what might
be called Spartan justice. It happened
when I wub a lx>y and made a lasting
impression, as incidents of the kind do
on it youthful mind.
“Our folks at homo had some old sil
ver spoons that had been ip constant
service for generations, and were small
and thin, and carried in their shallow
bowls the marks of every tooth in the
family. Each spoon had a history and
an association, as spoons did have
those days, and they were looked after
with the greatest care. My mother
placed them under her pillow every
night, and the whole family would be
regularly awakened by a midnight elat
ter of rattling spoons, as they had a rest
less habit of falling ont of bed, so their
value was enhanced by tho many sleep
less nights they cost
“Well, one of those precious spoons
was missing, and there was a great to do
over it. The servants were all ques
tioned, but no one had seen the missing
spoon. That night a colored girl, who
bad been taken in some months before
by my mother, and who was a bright and
rather precocious character, told of see
ing a new hired man on the promises
hiding something in his jacket. She even
essayed to find the jacket, and, sure
enough, between the liniig and the out
side was found the lost spoon.
“My mother was so happy in recover
ing her property that she wanted the
man to go scot free. Not so my father,
who was a solemn chnrch goer. ‘I will
give him a lecture on the sin of stealing,
he said, ‘and keep him, as he is a nseful
man. I am very suro he will never steal
from ua again.’
“I accompanied my father to the
kitchen, where tho man was raking
ashes over the coals of a hot fire and pre
paring to go to bed. He sat submissively
still as my father appeared, carrying
large Bible, and ho listened to the lect
ure that was delivered with an unmoved
countenance. I slept and awakened sev
eral times before it was finished. My
father’s solemn, monotonous voice af
fected mo like a soporific and I did not
try to fathom tho language he used.
“The culprit was a German, and
havo since learned that he did not under
stand one word my father said to him
nor even tho nature of tl»e accusation
against him. 1 thought then, as I lis
tened to mv father’s bass tones in that
grim monologue, that tho punishment
was adequate to the sin. I had been
lectured myself, and would havo con
fessed to almost anything to have es
caped the consequences.
“Tho lectmo was supplemented by
prayer, in which my fater implored
divine forgiveness for the offender Tho
German took it all in good part and re
mained in his situation, but was no
donbt carefully watched. Some years
after the colored girl acknowledged that
she had put tho spoon in his jacket in
order to get rid of him and gratify her
love of mischief. As lie never alluded
to it in any way wo could not tell what
he thought of tho services of that night, or
how much of tho long moral lecture had
been comprehended. But I am certain
he never understood the criminal nature
cf tho occasion.”—Detroit Free Press.

A Real Creole Cook. a
Aside from a few private houses, there
is only one place in New York where a
real creole gumbo file, or a rail creole
doube, can be had, ami that is a little
restaurant upon ths third floor of a largo
brick house on University ploco.
The restaurateur is an old creole him
self, who is satisfied with an average of
twenty customers a day.
He both rooks and nerves the food
himself, having but one assistant, who
washes tho pots and kettles and dishes
and keeps things cleon generally.
Bnt old Moietz Maritom is a famous
cook, and could command a large salary
should bo listen to some of his friends.
He speaks no English, and in fact no
Prench or Spanish, bat simply tho real
old New Orleans creole dialect, which is
a mixture of both French and Spanish.
The gambo Clo he serves is a marvel.
It is a great favorite with Dr. Chauncoy
M. Depew and Mr. H. Walter Webb, the
third vice president of the New York
Central railroad. It is a sort of soap,
made of chicken meat, crabs, shrimps or
crawfish, bacon, eggs, okra, sassafras,
and flavored with fine old sherry wine.
Just before it is served a quantity of
grated boilod potatoes and flour and
plenty of seasoning is added. It is a
whole meal in itself.—Now York Jour

UrldecTootn Wss Confused.
A resident clergyman, who has a keen
relish for htunor, tells of an incidont'in
tho professional experience of a clerical,
friend. Tho clergyman referred to had
been engaged to perform tho marriage
service, and the expectant brldp and
groom were standing before him in the
chnrch. Tho service bad proceeded as
far as tho question:
“Wilt thoa tako this woman to be thy
wedded wife?”
No response being made, the question
was repeated a little more emphatically:
“Wilt thou take this woman to bo thy
wedded wife?"
••Eh—ah—beg pardon. Were yon
speaking to me, sir?"
He was assured of tho-fact; and having
regained consciousness tho twain wore
quickly made one.—Portsmouth Times.
