AST«R HOUSE EXTRAVAGANCE.
Tho Utile Old Lady Thought That Too
Maajr Candle, War. Burning.
A dear old lady from tbs country tat
with bar ion, alao from the country, in
the big dining room of the Aetor house a
few evening! ago. Men who have come
to New York from the country, if they
had aeen her, would have been remind-
■ ed of their grandmothers. Her face wag
kindly, and there wee jut a little color
in it She wasn't very tall, end her fig
ure waa comfortable. She wore a shawl.
Her bonnet wag a little one, and in the
front of it waa aome white lace. Her
gown was of bombasine and of aome-
what ancient cute
Tim Mg, brightly lighted room inter
ested her. So did the people at the
tables. While the aon was engaged in
the somewhat perplexing task of select
ing the sapper the old lady talked audi
bly with the waiter. She told him that
she hoped Landlord Astor and Mis' Aator
were pretty well. The waiter explained
that Mr. Allen wae the landlord, whereat
the old lady expressed polite surprise.
When the waiter had gone with the or
der abe devoted a few moments to study
ing the chandeliers. They re
eoudlso
‘I wonder," the said, “bow under the
eon Mia’ Allen ever gets np there to
snuff ’em.”
“Snuff whatT asked her son.
“Why, them candles; they're so high
The young man did not answer.
The old lady again gssed at the chan
deliers reflectively. “They ain't no need
ot all that light,” ahe said. “Mis’ Allen
is a powerful wasteful woman.”
Her son was apparently a man of few
words. Her criticism wss unnoticed.
Presently the waiter brought the bread
and the plates, and what the old lady
evidently thought was a superabundance
of knives and forks. She greeted him
pleasantly. “Back again, bey?” abe said;
“you're pretty quick. But, Horace,” she
added to her son, “you ordered some
thin’ more than bread, didn’t you?"
“It will be here shortly,” put in the
waiter, with a polite bow. The old lady
gave him’ a sweet smile. “I’m pretty
hungry," she said.
Several of the diners had overheard
her observations. Some of them were
hard faced business men. They didn’t
laugh at her. They only regarded her
with lively interest. She smoothed out'
tho tablecloth carefully, and inspected
the silver, evidently with approval.
• The waiter brought the meal and gave
the old lady cloee attention, which pleased
her immensely. She smiled on him and
asked after the health of bis family. A,
she rose from the table she said to him:
“Tell MU’ Allen I’d like to have her
redpy fur that snow pnddin', bat Pm in
a hurry."
Tho waiter bowed and said gravely
that he would do so. And as the old
lady passed out of the door one of the
diners raised a glass and exclaimed, “The

Aa Elevatad Railroad Kplsod*.
She was a Normal college girl, and she
decided to take the Sixth avenue elevated
railroad up town. Being in haste, she
carried her coin in her month, that she
might loan no time at the Hoket window.
When she reached the ticket window she
swallowed the coin and several people
missed several trains while she coughed
it up again. When her ticket was de
posited she discovered herself to be on
the down town side. She waainahntry,
and aim gritted bar teeth and ran down

Sixth avenue the gateman on the down
town side called to the gateman on the
up town side that a oraxy girl was com
ing. She came. She wss a good deal
ont of breath, and she stuffed a $5 bill
through the window. As a train drew
np she swept together her change, mostly
silver, flung it into the ticket box, and,
firmly grasping her. ticket, dashed for a
place. The gateman dragged her back,
but she did not beliodefaim. Then, while
the station telegraphed to the central of.
flee for instructions, she sat and made
facee at the gateman over the way. And
the gateman on the down town side called
to the gateman on the np town side;
"Are you going to the ball this even,

And the gateman on the up town side
called to the gateman on the down town
side: “Not this evening.”—New York

Cared of a Superstition.
Speaking of superstitions among sick
people a hospital physician said: “Upon
one occasion one of the convalescents
was sitting near the window when be
observed a small dog liarking furiously
while running along the ground direct
ly underneath. Suddenly the animal
stopped, and looking upward began to
sniff tho air and then commenced dig
ging in the earth at a - furious rate and
keeping np an incessant whining. The
patient called on attendant and told her
that he wished to be pnt back to lied, as
the time waa fast approaching for his
demise. Tho nurse remonstrated and
tried to langh the man ont of the absurd
notion, hut it waa without avail, and
the patient had his wish granted and for
several days grew rapidly worse.
“I inquired into tho canse, end upon
being told tried to mako tile man see
how foolish it was to relinquish all hold
he bad upon life. Bat the idea had such
a firm hold upon him that I was finally
obliged to resort to extreme measures,
and threatened to send him into the
streets to die if he was not better in
three days. At I anticipated, the dread
of dying upon a public highway coun
teracted the effect of the presentiment,
and within the allotted time the patient
improved wonderfully, and was after

Was Not to Blame.
One day on a railroad car a lady al
lowed her little boy, who canid barely
speak distinctly, to play aboot the car:
and bye and bye, to the horror of all of
ns, ahe discovered him complacently
sitting outside on the steps. She brought
him in, and although the punishment
inflicted was mild his little heart seemed
to be completely broken. When, pres
ently, the train stopped at a station,
great choking sofas could be heard dis
tinctly all over the ear, and suddenly
we were all convulsed by a grieving, re
proachful and utterly desolate little
voice exclaiming, "Say, mamma, when
a—naughty old—trainman leaves—a
door wide open, bow can—a bahy help
going out?"—West Shore, . t
Trumped His Partner's Age.
At a social gathering a few evenings
ago, the conversation taming upon lack,
a gentleman, remarked: “All this talk
about thirteen being an nnlncky num
ber la sheer nenssnan What, for in
stance, is ladder than holding thirteen
tramps at whist P
“Humph?” replied another gentleman,
“I held a thirteen trump hand once and
didn’t make more than one trick with
itT
“How could that be?"
“Well, you see, my partner was some
what hot tempered, and when 1 tramped
his ace he jumped up and threw me out
of the room.”—Boston Globe.
Karljr Icehouaes.
In America icehouses have been known
for at least 200 years. They were at
first very primitive affairs, being noth,
iug more than deep cellars, the flooring
mtulo of boards or stone, upon which
wus placed a layer of straw or sawdust
The sides were lined with boards set
about a foot from the wall, and this
spaco was filled in with sawdnst, tanbark
or straw. A rough, thatched roof com
pleted the structure, which was then
filled with ice, between the layers of
which tanbark or sawdnst was strewed.

New Zealand has set an example
which might advantageously be follow
ed in certain parts of this country. In
the same way as we have “cathedral
cars” it has “traveling tanks.” A clerk
representing the bank travels np and
down a railway line for the transaction
of the ordinary business of the bank
with thorn who have not sufficient facil
ities for coming into the city. Laden
with a sachet containing his supply of
cash, and provided with a teller's nsnnl
precautions against robbery, the clerk
makes the carriage his headquarters,
and there receives visits from customers
at {he way stations, changing checks or
taking deposits as occasion may require.
This plan is said to prove profitable to
the tank and a great convenience to the
settlers, who are saved all the trouble of
journeying to town to relieve themselves
of snrplns money or to procure change.
It is not difflcnlt, however, to see thsti
the New Zealanders are not proporly ed
ucated in the matter of train robbery.—
