Park It is rather surprisii;^ that fq find its right on row a cafe trusts custom¬ ers perfectly. This place has probably 800 regular paljers. It is open day and night, and is run on a system of im¬ plicit faith in the honesty of man. While not a place strictly high class, it offers what might be called a very “comfortable” meal, with trimmings before or after. Altogether, if is simply a plain place for an everyday man, with occasionally a little something extra on the bill of fare equaling anything in the city. This, of course, can be said of hun¬ dreds of similar places, but the system of payment is something novel. The proprietor, a stout German, boasts no cashier, as there is very little cash to take in. On the cigar counter is a day¬ book. The customer comes in, goes to the ice chest in the corner if he wisbos j and takes a quiet nip out of a black bottle. Then he orders what he wants on the bill of fare. It is served quickly and neatly. He then counts up his own indebtedness and puts it opposite his name iu tl\e book, including tho He “uiu, ” or a cigar, if ho prefers that. then walks serenely out, knowing no proprie¬ tor is faring at him gud no cashier yelling for him to come back and make the cash This sort of childlike simplicity in running a business in the very heart of a city iiilpd with bricks bnnkoers, green goods pen and gold without number Is said to 'be a winning venture. Cus¬ tomers inyaiiably settle Friday ^ji.l Saturday being pay (lavs,) and, the proprietor says he has as yet \o Rise a bill through deliberate fraud. thgt A little experience with a man like is, gl- post enough to renew one’s, confidence in human nature.—New Vork Letter in Pittsburg Dispatch. GOLD AMD SILVER PLATING. A . Prooesa iqittt Is . Descrlbog r , a* 4iinplf liy a Professional. The following is a very sample method for gold and silver plating: Take an ouuge of nitrate of silver, which i» made as follows: One ou W b of fine sil- ver, one ounce nitric id, one-half ounce water. Put the silver.into a Flor- ence flask, Even pour m the acid and water.'Place the flask ou the sand bath fog a few moments, taking ogre not to ^pply too much bt>at, and as soon as chemical action becomes violent remove the flask to a cooler place antf allow the. action to go on until it nearly slacks, yriten, if there is any silver sfill remain- aci,A employed is weak, it may be neces- sjary to add a, little more. Tjje red fumes ss»4rrjsss.s&B The nitrate of silver formed during til ^ pellicle appears op the surface, it may be set aside to crystallize. uncrystailized liquor should be boured from the crystals into another Vessel and heat applied until it has evaporated *cn sufficiently to 'silver. crystallize, you have nitrate of Take (Li ounce of nitrate of silver, pissolve m H,quart of distill^ rainwater. When thoroughly dissolved, throw in a which few ykystals of hyposulphite of soda, Will at first form a brown precipitate, but whioh becomes redissolved if enough has been added. There must be present a slight exacts of this ga lt. The solution is now comploto. Take a sponge, dip ft in the solution and mb it over the work to be plated. A solution of gold may be made in the same way and applied as described. A concentrated solution of either gold or silver may be used for work that baa, boon worn off by applying it with a, camel’s hair brush and touching it with a strip of zinc.
