"No, sir," said the tall waiter. "Then who didt" grumbled the cor- I uer man. -I don-t know, sir," was the reply. I "'You'd better ask the head waiter." < The corner man did ask, but the chief I of the staff was no wiser than his as- t sistant. "What kind of looking man was he?" i he asked. r "How should I know?" stormed the 1 hungry diner. "I didn't come here to c make a study of waiters' faces. I I came to get something to eat, and it I somebody doesn't hurry up" The head waiter stepped aside too soon to hear the rest of the complaint. "He is like ninety-nine out of a hun- a dred men that dine out," he remarked. 3 "None of them knows his waiter. o There would be much less confusion Ib if people would be a little more ob- V serving. Any man can take a peep at d his waiter without loss of dignity. n However, few do, and as a conse- a quence they hail every man that passes t with the query, 'Are you the fellow that waited on me?' "-New York Post Champagne. t There are two peculiarities about v champagne drinking which are capable I of explanation. The one isahe rapidity 3 with which the wine exhilarates not- r withstanding the small proportion of alcohol it contains. This Is due to the e carbonic acid gas evolved, which is in- b baled while drinking, for It is the prop- 9 erty of this gas to expedite the action t f anything with which it is associated. t It is estimated that one glass of cham- t pagne is equal in effect to two glasses P of still wine of the same strength and 9 is more rapid in action. The other pe- n culiarity is the sort of lethargy or deadness which follows after excessive ] champagne drinking. This is analogous 7 to the stupor produced by carbonic acid t gas, but It is assisted and intensified by the excess of sugar deranging the n tomach. The undigested sugar turns Into acid, and thus it Is that too much a champagne is apt to produce dyspep sia.

The captain of a San Francisco tug thus describes a storm on the Pacific: tl "When I say that the waves ran i :nountain high I am not exaggerating a: the situation In the least The tug would be poised on the crest of a sea and then be plunged down into a valley if water which seemed a mile below ti s. At times the moon would come sa ut through the clouds, and in the un- tl eertain light the waves seemed twice it ts high. The wind was blowing a per feet hurricane, and our lee rail was un- f, er water all the time. The angry sea ippeared raging above, below and all round us, and nearly every wave a nto which we dipped would wash over e the tug. It was impossible to remain a ift, for the lower deck was flooded." n tl Cure for Sore Niaples. As soon as the child is done nursing c pply Chamberlain's Salve.

Dr. 5chilling was appointed hangman. irst he tried strangulation by means of ropes and pulleys, but the ropes roke and the elephant remained in act. Next he tried poisoning.

He said to a rep esentative of the Strand Magazine: The Chinese people possess all the lements of being a great people. They ave courage, physical power and ab olute contempt for death. Today In iat country soldiering is looked dowi pon. Only the 'failures in life' enter be army.

The poet speaks cf him as "Jam senior sed cruda deo viridisque senectus' (somewhat aged, but his godship's old age was still fresh and green). -This we might say of a hale sexagenarian, but to talk, as we do, of the green old age of a nonagenarian, however bale, Is sheer nonsense.
