ALL FOR GOLD.
They’ll robe me In my bridal gown.
Ah me, ah me!
They'll robe me in my bridal gown.
The orange buds will be my crown.
The white veil will go floating down;
And I shall bear the splendor meet, '
And wish it were my winding sheet.
Ah me, ah me!
They’ll twine white gems about my neck,
Ah me, ah me!
They'll twine white gems about my neek,
And I shall give nd kign, no check.
But well enough, I, too, shall reck]
That dewy pearis are for my tears;
The deadly opals for my fears,
Ah me, ah me!
They'll lay my prayer book in my hand.
Ah me, ah me!
They’ll lay my prayer book in my hand.
While 1 shall calm and stately stand,
And hear the organ pealing grand.
And 1 shall neither faint nor fall.
But live and smile on through it all.
Ah me, ah me!
They'll lead me to the altar rail,
Ah mo, ah me!
They’ll lead me to the altar rail.
And my false lips will never fail,
Ivor my false heart will ever quail.
As I breathe o’er those words of old,
And sell myself for love of gold.
Ah me, ah me!
An Appetite for Glass
Several gentlemen were discussing the
other evening at an uptown cafe the pe
culiar appetites that museum freaks have
lately displayed for glass. They were
wondering if the sharp particles were di
gested, and one of the party said that the
whole thing was a “fake.”
“Why,” said the knowing one, “the
trick is ancient. I’ve seen it done hun
dreds of times, and can do it myself.
You don’t believe it, eh? Well to satisfy
those of you who doubt tny veracity, I’ll
do the trick. ”
A very thin glass, of the kind in which
seltzer is usually served, was brought,
and the amateur freak called for a glass
filled with water. While the audience,
which had increased in size, was wonder
ing what was to come next, the gentle
man coolly picked up the thin glass and
deliberately bit off a piece, which ho
■chewed with the utmost complacency.
When it was reduced to the proper fine
ness the performer picked up the glass of
water and, to all appearances, washed
down the rather unpleasant dish with
apparently as much satisfaction as if the
particles of glass were delicate bits of
turkey and the clear beverage cham
pagne. It was noticed, however, that
lie did net drain the glass. Everybody
looked at him in perfect astonishment
and some of his friends, thinking it was
an act of bravado which might prove
fatal, wanted to send for a physician.
“Never mind calling a doctor,” said
the trickster, laughing heartily as the
mystified expressions on their faces
changed to looks of abject terror; “I'm
all right, and now I'll expose the trick.
Of course none of you believe I swallowed
the glass, but the question is what be
came of it. ’ ’
lie then took up the glass from which
he drank, and, putting a haudkerehu f
over another tumbler, poured its con
tents into the empty receptacle. Wnen
the straining was finished the handker
chief held hundreds of fine jc.ilicles of
glass.
“Now you follows want to know how
the small pieces of glass got into the
tumbler, don’t you?
“In the first place there !3 little danger
in chewing the glass if one is careful,
but it requires a good deal of practice to
eject it without being detected. If you
watched me closely you saw that when
I put the water to my lips my upper lip
was laid over the rim, and boforte I
drank a drop all the pieces which were
under that upper lip were almost at the
Iwttom of the water. To be sure one
must be careful not to swallow any of
the pieces with the water, but that can
be done by closing the teeth. The finer
the glass used the less fear there is of its
being detected in the bottom of the
tumbler.”
Several of the audience tried to do the
trick, but gave up in despair when their
tongues and gums were cut by the par
ticles of glass. It is, however, becoming
very popular for blooded young men to
bite pieces out of their glasses, and the
time may come when a piece of glass for
chewing purposes may bo included in the
bill for refreshments.—New York Even
ing Sun.
A Novel Neclttle.
The manager of one of the large Chi
cago wholesale houses in the line of gen
tlemen’s furnishings, shows a novel
necktie which he has just received from
Texas. It is a rattlesnake skin, made up
in the form of a four-in-hand tie. The
point-rattle is set in the center of the
■outer fold—to serve the purpose of a tie
pin. As it glistens and shows all sorts of
shifting colors in the sunlight or gaslight
it makes a very attractive, if not exactly
conventional, tie. The owner says that
it was sent to him as a sample, the sender
saying that, as the stock of rattlesnakes
in his country is inexhaustible, he can
supply as many of these strange ties as
the Chicago house may want.—Chicago
News.
Shoes of the Confederacy.
Two ladies of our acquaintance,
-wealthy and exclusive
of the war. were
years, through the great change
'in thfir fortunes, to find that their skill
in making shoes, slippers and gaiters
could furnish them with a modest in
come. These shoes were constructed
from old broadcloth coats and pants,
A Broker’s First Fright.
I have frequently been caught short
on the market and seen myself within an
ace of being ruined,” said a New street
broker to a reporter; “but I was reallv
scared only once in mv life, and that was
during my first day in the street. My
i j 11115 a in the office of an
old friend of his. where I enjoved the
lull confidence of my employer.* I had '
been working only a few hours when he
handed me ten crisp £100 bills and told
me to deposit them in an uptown bank.
I put tho bills in my coat pocket until I
bad finished writing up my looks and
then took a car going up town. When
I entered the hank and put my hand
in my pocket the hills were gone.
I can t describe my feelings, for
t.ie simple reason that I hadn’t
any. I felt myself turned to stone.
Both in mind and 1 xxly I was stupefied.
When I had collected myself a little I
went out of the hank with the expressed
intention of throwing myself into the
river. I knew not where I went or what
I was doing, but I found that I had re
turned to the office.
The broker was out when I got back.
I was too numb to be agitated, and no
one noticed there was anything the mat
ter with me'as I put on my office coat
and began poring over the set of books.
It was not until I saw the broker coming
in the door that I began to fully realize
my position. I ran my hand wildly
through my hair in a vain attempt to
calm myself, and then absent mindedly
put it in mj' pocket. The first thing I
felt was the roll of bills. I had changed
my coat and forgotten all about it. The
broker chided me for not going to the
bank, but he never knew why the money
wasn’t deposited until the next day.”—
New York Evening Sun,
In Central California.
Heretofore the eastern tourist has been
accustomed to bear only of southern Cali
fornia and its so-called semi-tropical cli
mate, while scarcely anything has been
said of the merits of the climate in cen
tral California. To such an extent has
this puffing of one portion of the state to
the detriment of another section been
carried that many of the eastern tourists
now visiting the counties adjacent to the
bay seem to be surprised that fruits of
many kinds are grown outdoors until
Christmas. Particularly is' this so in re
gard to grapes. Some surprise has been
expressed that the fine grapes on exhi
bition at the rooms of the state board of
trade should he found outside of Los
Angeles and San Diego counties, whereas
the fact is that the best grapes grown
anywhere in California are produced out
side of southern California, and those
grown in Sonoma, Napa, Santa Clara and
along the eastern foothills of the Sacra
mento valley have never been surpassed
anywhere.
Another fact worthy of becoming
known is that there ripen in Butte county,
G'JO miles north cf Los Angeles, and at
Los Gatos, in the Santa Clara vailey, some
fifty miles south of San Francisco, the
first orange crops of this season. They
arc of fine quality and nearly two months
earlier than the Riverside crops. In Santa
Clara county some of the finest white
Verdel, Tokay and black Ferrara grapes
get ripe and ready for the table at Christ
mas. In this same county strawberries
and raspberries can also be bad up to the
holidays.—San Francisco Alta.
Three Book Fiends.
The tall copy man, the uncut copy
man and the wide margin man are about
the most cranky of the bibliomaniacs.
What they want nobody else would have.
They are a trio of cranks of about the
same class. Every time a book is pub
lished, the publisher prints a few copiee
which are longer than the regular edi
tion. These the tall copy fiends seek.
They like to stand a long book on a shelf
alongside the regular sized book and
gloat over the fact that they have a dif
ferent kind of book from the common
buyer. If a tall book of some rare edi
tion falls into tlieir hands, they go into
ecstacies of joy and bend all efforts to
get a copy of the regular edition to stand
alongside this book of bastard size.
His brother in hobby, the wide margin
man, is contemplated by the book pub
lisher, who prints a half dozen books of
an edition with abnormal margins to a
page, and sells them for five times the
regular price of the book. If the books
marketed by a publisher are already cut.
as the American publishers are accus
tomed to do, he saves a few copies with
the leaves uncut and sells them to the
uncut copy man. This one is the worst
crank of all. To him a book is only
valuable as long as the leaves remain un
cut in the folio. He does not buy a book
to read. The standard authors mean
nothing to him. If lie can get a copy of
a first edition of Scott or Dickens, which
no one has ever read, because the leaves
have never been cut, he values it higher
than all the books these novelists ever
wrote. His idea of a book is one in
which the pages shall be sealed from the
eye.—Globe-Democrat.
New Chronograph to Watch.
The Parisian watchmaker, Schwob, has
brought out a new chronographic watch
(montre observateur) which is a marked
improvement on the ordinary stop watch.
The face is furnished with a second small
dial, similar in size to the second’s dial.
By touching a knob the hands of this
dial, which is a complete copy of the
large one, are at once replaced to 12
o'clock, and then continue their progress
from that point. ,
This method is very practical, as it not
only shows the time of commencing an
obseiffetion, but infallibly determines its
duration without the least trouble, all the
observer having to do for this latter pur
pose being simply to read the time indi
cated by the small dial, and to subtract
that time from the true hour of the large
dial. This can all be done without exer
cising any memory or making any note.
We think the invention invaluable for
making astronomical or other observa
tions. The eye need not be even turned
to the watch in touching the knob, which
can be done in perfect darkness. A sleeper
is suddenly awakening from a nightmare,
or hearing a strange noise at night, and
wishing to fix the time of the occurrence,
need only press the knob of his watch and
turn his head quietly round on his pillow,
knowing that in the morning he will have
the exact hour and minute correctly
registered.—Watchmaker and Jeweler.
Something About Dyspepsia.
Chronic dyspepsia is a functional, not
an organic, disorder. If the eye could
look within the .stomach, in the latter
case, it would see no explanation of the
trouble, as in the case of organic diseases.
At least five kinds of fluids co-operate
in the digestive process: saliva, gastric
juice, bile, pancreatic fluid and intestinal
secretions. Indigestion, therefore, does
not necessarily have its seat in the
stomach.
Two forms of it are specially recognized
—gastric (that of the stomach) and in
testinal. Each form has two prominent
varieties: one in which the food is really
digested, while the person has a great
sense of discomfort; the other, in which
the food is not duly digested, while the
person has comparatively little suffering.
In the first variety there is an abnorfnal
excitability of the nerves of sensation.
This is known as nervous dyspepsia.
The more common causes of dyspepsia
are excesses in eating, neglect of physical
exercise, protracted anxiety, change from
an active to a sedentary life, insufficient
sleep, luxurious living. *
No treatment can here be described
suited to individual cases. The cmef
tiling is to find out and remove the cause.
An overworked stomach should be re
lieved by giving it only the work which
it can do easily, and by furnishing to it
only that which is easily digested.
Everything should be done to improve
the general health. Change of locality
and general surroundings is often a help.

A Viennese Holiday.
The feast of St Leopold, the patron
saint of Lower Austria, was kept as a
close holiday in Vienna, and there was a
total suspension of business. It is cus
tomary on this day for the Viennese to
make excursions to Klosterneuburg,
where they drink the white wine for
which that town and its famous monas
tery are famed. The monastery boasts
an enormous barrel which contains a
fantastic number of hogsheads, and the
fun of the'day consists for many persons
in climbing to the top of this huge recep
tacle by means of a ladder, and drinking
the white wine ladled out through a tap
at the top. Trains were running from
Franz Josef’s station to Klosterneuburg
every quarter of an hour, and over 1,000
! carriages and cabs traveled to the old
town by road. In the evening there was
a grand and noisy return of roysterers,
singing and shouting and reminding one
somewhat of the return from Epsom on
the Derby day.—St. James’ Gazette.
Color In Dress In New York.
When we come to the question of color
in dress, as it appears relatively to the
decorative tendencies of the New York
street, we must look for its mainspring,
in some degree, to American social con
ditions. American women, as a rale,
make more display of magnificence in
the street than the women of any other
nation. To them the street means a
show, a parade, in which they play an
The Chewing Gain Habit.
Orders from manufacturers and drug
gists have gone out in greater quantity
than ever this year for “pure spruce
gum.” The Maine forests is where the
best gum is procured, and the lumber
men can reap quite a little harvest if
they can manage to get gum enough to
fill* these very liberal offers. Gum
chewing has become so fashionable that
there is an unusual demand for it and it
is one that promises to last. Reasons for
this are that gum chewers believe that
the chewing of the gum aids digestion and
also whitens the teeth. The first reason
sets elderly gentlemen to chewing it, and
the latter makes the practice popular
with women. One firm has made a for
tune by making a candied chewing gum,
which is sold by druggists, tobacconists,
confectionists and at elevated railroads.
The chewing gum habit has got away
beyond the school girl, and there’s no
telling where it will stop at its present
rate of progress.—Chicago Herald.

brilliant reds in street gowns and hats
having spread throughout Europe is
now nationalized on American soil, and
adds cheerfulness to life and landscape.

The value of the various condiments in
the preparation of combination dishes is j
great. Used with discretion they stimu- j
late tiie appetite and promote digestion,
red pepper being specially valuable in this
connection. The various herbs and spices
are exceedingly valuable; salt is abso
lutely necessary to health despite all con
trary assertions of the food cranks, anu

salads promote the digestion and assimi

A missionary in .Africa was i.stoni-lied

New Paper Articles.
A number of new combinations in pa
per are being made. One of the latest is
a paper having a “middle” of tin or gold
foil. The upper layer is made of waxed,
and the under surface of common paper.
This is intended for a variety of uses.
A new sheathing paper Ls composed of
two or more layers cemented together by
asphalt, or some waterprof or disinfecting
material. I don’t think that the asphalt
idea is altogether new.
A new cardboard is an interior layer
or middle of paper made from an admix
ture of pulp and animal hair. This is in
tended to be an improvement on every
kind of paper in which threads or yarns
have been introduced.—Paper Trade

A Novel Advertisement.
A novelty in the advertising line is the
“electric window tapper.” for the pur
pose of attracting the attention of passers
by to the wares exposed for sale. It
consists of a figure, hand painted on
zinc, eighteen inches high, which knocks
on the window with its hand. It is sus
pended by wires connected, with batteries
that can be placed in the cellar or any
other convenient place. The batteries
which go with the tapper will run for
six months, and the material for renew
ing them can be had at any drug store
for a trifle.—New York Pres*.
