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 old lady—Ood Mass herf-New York * 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 stairs. Then ahe got rattled, creased Twenty-third street instead of crossing the avenue and, mounting, found herself whtnaiwftadMiiilNlbta.- «• - She stuck her tongue out at the gate- man and started again. Aa she crossed 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, ing?" And the gateman on the up town side called to the gateman on the down town side: “Not this evening.”—New York Sun. 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 ward discharged a cored man—cured, as he afterward told me, of-both his aU- &•*» Ms supetsti boos. "—Chicago 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. —Detroit Free Press. Not In tho Second Hand Dualue**. As Sheridan was entering conrt one day carrying his hooks and briefs in a green bag, according to the custom of the time, some of his brother barristers, thinking to play a joke on him, urged some boys to ask him if he had old clotheaforsalein his green bog. “Oh. noP instantly replied Sheridan, “they are all new suits.”—Son Francisco Ar gonaut.

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.— New York Commercial Advertiser.
