KISSES.
With little kisses I shut your eyes;
1 would not have them seeing and wise,
For, could I choose, 1 would have you b*
Blind ever, as now, when you look on mel
A wreath of kisee* to crown your head.
That the whole world’s crown should adorn In¬
stead,
To keep your thought of me over kind,
As now, when your darling eyes are biiadL
In each of your hands I shut a kiss.
Do you feel how soft and little it iaf
Bo hold it gently that it may live.
Lest your hands ask more than my hands can give.
A kiss for an earring in each dear ear.
And now when I speak you can only hear
The heart of my heart’s heart laugh and cry.
Not the foolish words it is stifled by.
A kiss on your mouth, and it bears no chsna
To bring you to good, to keep you from harm;
It has no mission, yet let it be;
The rest were for you, but this is for mel
—Pall Mall Gaatt*.
UNCLE SAM’S SPOTTERS.

“TJncle Sam’s large and well organ¬
ized secret service,” says S. H. Adams
In Ainslee’s, "is made up mostly of
men who come properly under the
head of detectives with police powers,
but it has its class of bona fide spot
ters, whose entire duty it is to ingrati¬
ate themselves with persons suspected
of having designs to evade the custom

Inspectors at this end of the impend

“In cleverness, address and adapta¬
bility the secret service spotter is easi¬
ly at the head of his profession and
even ranks with the trained experts of
the European diplomatic corps. It is
essential that he should be a man of
the world, for he must associate with
all kinds of people on equal terms. lie

rious European capitals when he is
not on shipboard, where he is much of

“There Is always a number of these
agents in 1‘aris, because of the great
American trade there. They live at
the fashionable betels and live the life

dutiable goods they are experts, and

In one way or another they contrive
to make the acquaintance of any per¬

“Many a time some man who has

Speaking of the late William Travers
loads me to remark that, so far os 1
am personally aware, only one of the
classic stuttering stories about him is
actually true. 1 had the honor and
happiness to reside at Newport for a
year or so once, and at the time Mr.
Travers was a summer resident there,
lie certainly stuttered a good deal, but
he did not go around habitually dis¬
charging staccato witticisms at the
world, as you might suppose he did
from all the stories you hear. But the
one story that I know about is this
one:
Travers was at a garden party one
afternoon when a young lady said to
him. “What time is It, please, Mr.
Travers?”
Travers took out his watch, wabbled
his mouth awhile, blinked and finally
said, “It’ll be s-s-s-s-six o’e-c-e-e-cloek
by the time I can say it I”

CHCPSTICK DINNERS.
A FAD WITH WOULD BE BOHEMIANS
IN NEW YORK.
Chinese Reataurantu There Tolcmto
• Free and Eiuiy Etiquette, and Kv~
erybody Does Just About u. He or
She IMenaea.
In the last few years a surprisingly
large number of Chinese restaurants
have made their appearance In up town
districts in New York. The tawdry
outward decorations of red and blue
lights and huge gilt Chinese characters
are in eve^ case the same. The same,
too, are the unattractive entrances, the
walls decorated with colored pictures
of pretty Chinese girls aud marvelous
specimens of landscapes, the little ta¬
bles covered with white oilcloth, the
general dilapidation of the establish¬
ment. Nothing about them seems at¬
tractive, and yet these places thrive,
and their number increases with aston¬
ishing rapidity. The reason is not far
to seek if one is at all familiar with the
facts. There are several characteris¬
tics of the Chinese restaurant which
recommend it highly to certain classes
and seem to indicate that Its popularity
is not a mere fad.
Iu the first place it should he under¬
stood that most of these places are
really what they are supposed to be,
eating houses carried on under Chinese
management The cooks are invaria¬
bly true Celestials, and in only a few
cases are the proprietors Americans.
The food Is prepared, therefore, accord¬
ing to the most approved methods of
the Middle Kingdom, with the result
that in cheapness and savoriness (if
you like it) it can easily outclass simi-
lar places run by American cooks, the
( hinese Is a inastei of the ait of mat-
lug palatable dishes out of next to
nothing or rather a little of everything.

houses au, i the sameness of t.ie dairy
, escaped by
l' 1110 ’ 11 counters arc thus
J frequenters of these restaurants. More-
j over, in spite Of appearances the food
j * s prepared In an extremely cleanly
manner. No one is debarred from en-
tering the kitchen, and a visit thither
oue back with renewed appetite
j to untidy eating room. So many
who white possessed ol a small share
f hls wm'M s goods still affect sport-
iness frequent the restaurant for its
cheapness and grow to enjoy the highly
flavored dishes.
There is also a free and easy atmos¬
phere about the Chinese eating house
which attracts many would he “Bohe¬
mians” as well as a goodly share of a
class below the lowest grades of the
city's many graded Bohemia. Visitors
loll about and talk and laugh loudly.
When the waiter is wanted, some one
emits a shrill yell which brings an an¬
swering whoop from the kitchen, fol¬
lowed sooner or later by a little Chi¬
nese at a jog trot. Any one who feels
like it may stroll into the kitchen and
try a little pigeon English on the cook.
The proprietor will teach anybody to
use the chopsticks and roar with laugh¬
ter over the failures of the novice. Ev¬
erybody does as he or she pleases with¬
in certain very clastic bounds. The
limit is reached sooner In some places
than in others, for while some of the
houses are before midnight at least
perfectly well conducted others are of
more than questionable respectability.
It is curious and interesting to note
that under American management the
tone of these places is lower than when
the Chinese are in sole control.
These new up town places are not so
good, either in a moral or a culinary
way, as those down in Chinatown. It
is usual to speak as if Mott and Pell
streets were the city’s sink of iniquity,
and so they are in some respects, but
there are no Chinese restaurants in the
neighborhood as disreputable as one or
two up town. The clientele of the
down town places Is above suspicion as
a rule. Chinese drop In for their meals,
and dwellers from up town come either
from curiosity or because they have
learned to like good Chinese cooking.
Up town the bills of fare are more lim¬
ited. “Yockaman,” “chop suey” and
“chowman” are the pieces de resist¬
ance. They answer the purpose cer¬
tainly, for 25 cents’ worth of some
kinds of chop sney served with rice
will make a toothsome dish for two
people. Tea is served free of charge,
and the quantity is not limited. But
no one should judge the Celestials’ cu¬
linary skill by these up town houses.
Many of the guests iu these restau-
; ' regularly. Frequently
rants come men
and women come with pails to buy the
food and take it home. Negroes are in
disproportionately large numbers. They
seem to like the Chinese, and indeed
the noise in the kitchen reminds cne of
the similar condition of southern kitch¬
ens under negro management. How¬
ever solemn the Chinese may seem to
be In public, lie Is a cheerful creature
in his own kitchen. Talk and laughter,
even music during ’‘off” hours, boat out
to the dining room. All the servants
seem ready to break Into smiles at the
smallest provocation. They arc always
ready to exchange jests with their pa¬
trons. but familiarity uever becomes
impertinence. The Chinese doesn’t
cure what happens so long as he Is left
unmolested. He likes everything to be
slipshod and merry.—New York Trib¬
une.

A MAYOR’S MIRACLE.
--
He Made the Blind See, the Dtcf
Hear and the Lame tvaih.
From the many anecdotes of Ramp-
fylde Moore Carew’s rogueries in Ar-
thur Montefiore Brice’s essay on that
"Amazing Vagabond” we quote one in
which Carew and his gypsy crew who
had rigged themselves up as cripples
and gathered at Bridgewater fair to
plunder the junketers came off second
best.
When the mayor of Bridgewater
heard that this motley group of crip-
pies had arrived, he announced to some
of bis friends that lie was possessed of
a power they perhaps little suspected—
that, in fact, he could make the blind
see. the deaf hear and the lame walk.
Bets were freely made that lie could do
nothing of tlie kind, and thereupon the
mayor had the gypsies arrested and
Immediately brought before him and.
after hearing their harrowing tales, or¬
dered them to be confined for the night
in the lockup.
About 10 o’clock at night, however,
the municipal surgeon entered with a
lantern and announced that he would
examine them all in the morning in or¬
der to report to the mayor whether or
not they really suffered from deformity
of one kind or another, aud he went on
to say that those who were found .o be
impostors would be treated by the
mayor with severity so extreme that,
moved to pity, he would allow any such
misguided wretch to escape there and
then from the lookup on condition that
he immediately left the town.
At this intelligence a great commo¬
tion arose, and in less time than it
takes to write it the whole crowd surg¬
ed out of the lockup, flinging away
their crutches and wooden legs, patch¬
es and bandages, and made off down
the town at topmost speed, the blind
leading the way with unerring steps,
the dumb crying aloud their fears, the
deaf replying to them, and the lame
sprinting along at a rattling pace.
Now. Just opposite the lockup, on the
farther side of the street, stood the wit¬
ty mayor and his friends, convulsed
with laughter at the success of his
scheme.—Argonaut.
CATCHING CICADAS.
How Certain Malay* Obtain a Cnri-
on* Delicacy.
Certain natives of the Malay peninsu¬
la catch cicadas and eat them and that
as a considerable luxury. To eat a ci¬
cada seems distinctly curious, says the
London Daily Mall, when we reflect
that this insect is iu reality a glorified
member of that Insect group which
contains as its most prominent repre¬
sentative the diminutive and swarthy
creature which shall be nameless here
for evermore.
The way in which the Siamese pro¬
ceeds was related to the Zoological so¬
ciety the other day by a naturalist who
has spent some time in the Malay pen¬
insula observing men ns well as in¬
sects. At night, when these insects fly.
the native sallies forth armed with a
torch and but little raiment. The torch
NO n
is deposited in a convenient place, and
the swarm of natives proceed to clap
their hands In a perfectly regular fash¬
ion so as to produce a considerable
sound.
It Is the combination of light and
sound that allures the cicndn from Its
haunts to Its destruction. The Insects
come also in swarms and settle upon
the bodies of the applauding natives,
whence they are easily detached, pre¬
served, cooked and eaten.
Tiic Greek sage remarked that happy
are the cicadas in that they have voice¬
less wives. It is apparently the indy
cicadas who are attracted by what
they fondly believe to he the love cry
of the male and are thus lured to their
fate by that most dangerous of pas¬
sions.
Victoria mill Dickens.
Literary celebrities, as a rule, were
not those who attained to any high
degree of personal favor at the hands
of Queen Victoria, but she paid Charles
Dickens a delicate compliment. Dick¬
ens. who, by the way. in his youthful
days was devoured by a grand passion
for the youthful queen, was invited
when at the climax of his fame to
dine at Windsor castle. He was after
dinuer presented by the queen with a
copy of her book “Tour In the High¬
lands.” and on the fly leaf was in¬
scribed in her own baud this sentence:
“From tlie humblest to the most dis¬
tinguished author in England.” The
queen afterward showed many favors
to Lord Tennyson, but even in making
him a peer of the realm she did not
bestow as great a compliment.
Trafalgar Hut*.
The year 1805 was a memorable one,
as on Oct. 21 was fought and gained
the battle of Trafalgar, and then, as
now, fashion complimented heroes by
devising toilets named in their honor.
So Nelson was commemorated by a
hat-—the “Trafalgar”—and every wo-
man and child adopted the woudrous
structure, which would outdo even
the headgear of the present day, for
these hats were of enormous width
anil breadth, something of the size of a
round table, and so loaded witli plumes
that the wearers must have looked all
hat.—Gentleman’s Magazine,
QneKtion of Otvnervliip.
