Intelligent French Walter*. „I suppose the average run of people think that a waiter does not know anything beyond the knowledge which leads him to serve the soup before the entree or the tutti frutti in advance of the demi taase,” said an intelligent French waiter in a down-town restaurant the other day to a New York Herald reporter. “Yet, as a matter of fact,” he continued, “we do notice every little detail about people who seat themselves at the tables apportioned to us by the manager of our restaurant. The reason we do so is because by this practice of sizing up our guests wo can generally tell how it is best for us to go to work in order to get a fee out of them or to discover that we are not to get anv fee at all. “You see if we come to the latter conclusion there is no use of our wasting time on them, as we can put it in to much greater advantage by letting them wait, while we hurry the orders of better paying customers. We are not afraid of any complaints which they may make to the head waiter, because while we give hp freely to him,.we never get into any serious difficulty. Besides, he would only listen to gomplaints that come from habitues, and, as they always fee us well, they are always well looked after. “How can we judge people at a glance? Well, I’ll tell you, sir. You see, in the first place, people from the country, or those not used to city restaurants, always enter the room with an uncertain air. “Suppose it is a young man who is going to buy a lunch for his girl. If he is not used to the business he is doubtful and unhappy. He does hot know what to do with his hat and hesitates in choosing a table, and very likely will end by putting his hat on the floor when betakes a seat, and his girl will invariably take her place beside him instead of on the opposite side of the table, as she should. “Then, in studying the menu, he is apt to look at the prices first, and it is apparent that all the French names in the list are so piuch Greek to him. The result is that his order is of a most incongruous nature and would make any but a well-trained waiter smile in spite of himself. There is no money for the waiter in people like that. ‘/The city man is different. At a glance he sees which available table has the best location and instinctively chooses one as far from the kitchen and as near a window as possible. He always knows, too, just what he wants and will often order without looking at the menu at all. “Still, city men often make me tired by insisting on talking French to me. I have been in this country twenty years, my wife is an American, and 1 speak English perfectly, yet some of my customers insist in giving all their orders in French that sometimes makes my hair fairly curl. Still, I do my best to understand them, and I always compliment their French, particularly if they, have ladies with them. In that way I am always sure of a good fee, though sometimes I have to get them to point to the place on the menu before I can make out what dish they want.” A l.iterary Conversation. A charming debutante met a distinguished lawyer at a reception and was much flattered when he asked leave to call upon her the next evening. Bent on making herself agreeable she consulted with her girl, friends respecting his likes and dislikes) his hobbies, eta. “Oh, I’m nearly scared to death,” she confessed to one sympathetic maiden; “they say he’s so awfully smart and I’m certain I won’t talk well enough to please him. Now you’ve known him h long time. Do tell me what subject to discuss so that I can run home and get ready for him.” . “Well,” suggested the kind-hearted friend, “literature is his fad, so you can’t go wrong if you turn the conversation in that channel.” Having secured this valuable information Miss Bud hurried home comforted, and devoted the rest of the day to reading. Promptly at 8 o’clock the young lawyer was ushered into the drawing-room, where he found (thoroughly posted in literature) awaiting him. “Wasn’t it a delightful reception we attended last evening?” he asked by way of opening the conversation. “Oh, yes, was the enthusiastic response ; “ but wasn’t it sad about poor Mary, Queen of Scots ? ’They cut her head off, vou know.” I regret to state that neither historv nor the young lawyer has recorded the rest of this very literary conversation.

Our Neighbor’s Scheme. The year 1892 will probably be sig nalized in South America bv a most interesting event in civil engineering and in inter-national overland commerce. This will be the completion and opening of the Transandine Railroad, the first across the continent of South America. It is nineteen years since this work was begun, and it is now confidently expected that it will be finished by the beginning of 1892. The road is to run from Buenos Ayres to Valparaiso, a distance of 871 miles. There are now 630 miles of it finished at the Buenos AyreS end and eighty-two at the Valparaiso end. Os the remaining 149 miles about one-third is practically complete and the rails laid. The passage of the Andes is accomplished at the Cumbre Pass, which is 13,045 feet above the sea level. The railroad, however, does not reach the summit of the pass, but pierces the mountains by means of a tunnel more than three miles long, at an elevation of 10,450 feet above the sea. The grades are, of course, very steep; for a considerable distance the rise is more than 422 feet to the mile, or one foot in every twelve and one-half. On this portion of the line a rack rail is employed similar to those on the Hartz and other mountain roads. One unfortunate feature of the roacl is the diversity of gauges adopted. The different sections of the road have been bnilt by .different companies, and each company has its own gauge. A Lunatic's Wonderful Reading Powers A patient formerly confined in the Hospital for the Insane in Hartford, Conn., seemed fond of reading, and in taking up a newspaper it was noticed that he would read alond without hesitation, whether the paper was sidewise or bottom side up. As a further test of his powers one of the attendants held a newspaper spread out before him, keeping it continually turning around; still, with wonderful ease, the lunatic continued to read uninterruptedly. To test him still further,'a reel was procured and the paper spread out and attached to the arms, the whole then placed before the patient. No matter how rapidly the reel wap turned the wonderful creature would read article after article aloud without seeming to be disturbed in the feast.

In the Hegro’* DefenM. Bishop Potter has written a letter to the United States African News Company, in which he makes public his views as to the future of the Negro in America. “The African race in America,** says he, “is entitled to an opportunity, and in order to improve it it needs an education. Race prejudice dies slowly and dies hard, and strangely enough, Americans, who enslaved the Negroes, and who owe them so largo a debt of reparation, seem least willing to forget the matter of color. Social relations must adjust themselves. But excellence and capacity in the black man should be more willingly recognized by the whites than it is at present.” “But though their injustice disappear slowly, it is less universal than it was and I think is steadily diminishing; and here is the opportunity for people of the African race. They want of course to be taught handicrafts and letters, and then with their newly acquired culture, they want to do the best work that can be done. When people talk of the Negro as shiftless and lazy, I find myself tempted to ask: Who made him so ? Generations of servitude and irresponsibility, when no one went to a task save when he was driven to it, and where the fruits of one’s labor were never his own; these have educated tendencies which it is not surprising that it has taken a quarter of a century to overcome. But when, at the last commencement of Harvard University, I saw a young colored man appear as the class orator, and heard his brilliant and eloquent address, I said to myself: ‘Here is what a historic race can do if they have a clear field, a high purpose, and a resolute will.’ ” “ ‘A high purpose and a resolute will.’ I wish I could tell you how these could best be obtained, but though that is a task too large for these limits, I should at least like to say to every youth of the African race to whom these lines may come: Hate ease and insolence, cultivate the acquaintance in books and out of them of minds inspired by a lofty purpose and an unselfish spirit, and then resolve to be like them. Above all remember that that alone is true religion which illustrates itself in conduct. Not profession but practice, not noise but service, not experience but achievements, are what the world wants to see as evidence that any man or woman‘is truly religious. We cannot wholly expel prejudices, but when other people see oiiher people who are honest and tell the truth, and hate impurity, and do a fair day’s work for a fair day’s wages, then they are compelled to respect them whose conduct makes them not merely worthy of respect but of honor.” Morning on a War Ship. “Bos’n’s mate there 1 Call all hafids! Call in the deck lookoutsj Lay aloft the lookout to the masthead.” The orders follow in rapid succession. “Turn off the soar deck circuit I” and the great red and green lights on the port and starboard sides of the bridge and the light at the masthead are extinguished by the touch of a button .in the“ dynamo room” below, while a sailor goes “tripping upaloft”to the foretopsail yards, simultaneously with a longdrawn shrill whistle of the boatswain’s pipe, echoed on the gun deck by others, and the hoarse cry of the boatswain’s mate calling: “A-a-11 h-a-a-nds! Up all hammocks!” , The great ship is waking up, and out of the hatches the men come tumbling, one after the other—sailor men, apprentice boys, firemen, marines, cooks, and “all hands”—each with a hammock neatly rolled, ready to be placed in the nettings in the bulwarks. Brawny, bare-chested, bare-footed fellows, most of them; regardless of the cold wind blowing and the xvet decks, they run nimbly to their appointed stations, some clambering up and opening the nettings, while the others pitch their hammocks in and stow them away out of sight for the day. As we lean over the rail now, and look down, the scene is an animated one. The deck forward is swarming with men, and “Jackie” is making his morning toilet and preparing for the breakfast and the day’s routine. See that gigantic young cox wain yonder as he souses his well-soaped neck and face into the cold water in the bucket before him, spluttering and blowing away like a grampus, then rubbing and polishing his musclar, sun-burned neck and broad white back and hairy chest with his rough, parti-colored towel. ’ With his little circular mirror perched on a coil of rope, another sailor man is carefully parting his thick, curly locks, while a shipmate looks over his shoulder and gives a final twist to his black silk neckerchief, and a marine brushes his coat, and hums softly to himself meanwhile. The steam from the galleys is rising out of the hatches, and with it—mingled, it must be confessed, with a smell of oil and grease from the Engines —an odor of hot coffee and broiling bacon, and the boatswain’s whistle is heard again piping tQ breakfast.—Scnb'ner’.s Magazine. The Free List. Henry C. Miner, theater proprietor, was standing in the entrance of his Fifth Avenue Theater the other day, when a seedy actor approached him. “I beg pardon, Mr. Miner,” he said, “have you a Copy of the new tariff law?” “I have,” replied Mr. Miner. “Will you be kind enough to run it through and see if I am on the free list? I may want to look in at the theater tonight.” Ingenious, but it didn’t work.— Texas Siftings. A Presumption. Lady (in railroad train on windy day) —Dear me! I can’t get this window up.

CAtARRh

la a complaint which affects nearly everybody, more or less. It originates in a cold, or succession of colds, combined with impure blood. Disagreeable flow from the nose, tickling in the. throat, offensive breath, pain over and between the eyes, ringing and bursting noises in the ears, are the more common symptoms. Catarrh is cured by Hood’s. Sarsaparilla, which strikes direcUy at its cause by removing all impurities from the blood, building up the diseased tissaes, and giving healthy tone to the whole system.

WOMAN’S INTUITION. Nearly Always Kight in Her Judgment in Regard to Common Things. An old gentleman over seventy came into the city from his farm without his overcoat. The day turned chilly, and he was obliged to forego his visit to the fair. To a friend who remonstrated with him for going away from home thus unprepared he said: “I thought it was going to be warm; my wife told me to take my overcoat, but I wouldn’t. Women have more sense than men, anyway.” A frank admission. Women’s good sense is said to come from intuition; may it not be that they Are more close observers of little things. One thing is certain, they are apt to strike the nail on the head, in all the ordinary problems of life, more frequently than the lords of creation. “According to Dr. Alice Bennett, who recently read a paper on Bright’s disease before the Pennsylvania State Medical Society, persons subject to bilious, attacks and sick headaches, who have crawling sensations, like the flowing of water in the head, who are ’tired all the time’ and have unexplained attacks of sudden weakness, may well be suspected of dangerous tendencies in the direction of Bright’s disease.” The veteran newspaper correspondent, Joe Howard, of the New York Press, in noting this statement, suggests: “Possibly Alice is correct in her diagnosis, but why doesn’t she give some>idea of treatment? I know a man who has been ‘tired all the time' for ten years. Night before ‘last he took two doses of calomel and yesterday he wished he hadn’t.” A proper answer is found in the following letter of Mrs. Davis, wife of Rev. Wm. J. Davis, of Basil, Ohio, June 21, 1890: “I do not hesitate to say that I owe my life to Warner’s Safe Cure. I had a constant hemorrhage from my kidneys for more than five months. The physicians could do nothing for me. My husband spent hundreds of dollars and I was not relieved. I was under the care of the most eminent medical men in the State. The-hemorrhage ceased before I had taken one bottle of the Safe Cure. I can safely and do cheerfully recommend it to all who are sufferers of kidney troubles.” Having His Own Way. “Why did you run away from home?” asks Joshua Whitcomb of the ragged young tramp. “Because I wanted to have my own way.” “Well, you look as though you’d had it,” is Whitcomb’s sententious reply. The boy who is so eager to have his own way, is continually met with, and many times it is an extremely hard way. The tyranny of home is of the mildest sort, he finds, compered with what he has to undergo in endeavoring to have his own way. Many times he falls into evil company, and in imitating their way and making it his own he discovers himself on the way to a reformatory or prison. Ask the wretched old tramp whom you find sitting on the park bench, how he began his downward career, and if he be candid he will tell you it was by trying to have his own way.— Texas Siftings.

Dangerous tendencies characterize that very cotrmon affection, catarrh in the head. The foul matter dropping into the bronchial tubes or lungs is very liable to lead to bronchitis or consumption. As catarrh originate* in impurities in the blood, local applications can do but little good. The common-sense method of treatment is to purify the blood, and for this purpose there is no preparation superior to Hood’s Sarsaparilla.

All that we’ve to do is to get the news to her. The medicine will do the rest Wanted —Women. First to know it Second to use it. Third to be cured by it. The one comes of the other. The seat of sick headache is not in the brain. Regulate the stomach and you cure it Dr. Pierce’s Pellets are the little regulators.

PURIFY YOUR BLOOD. But do not use the dangerous alkaline and mercurial preparations which destroy your nervous system and ruin the digestive power of the stomach. The vegetable kingdom gives us the best and safest remedial agents. Dr. Sherman devoted the greater part of his life to the discovery of this reliable and safe remedy, and all its ingredients are vegetable. He gave it the name of Prickly Ash Bitters I s name every one can remember, and to the present day nothing has been discovered that is so beneficial for the BLOOD, for the LIVER, for the KIDNEYS and for the STOMACH. This remedy is now so welt and favorably known by all who have used it that arguments as to its merits are useless, and if others who require a corrective to the system would but give it a trial the health of this country would be vastly improved. Remember the name—PRICKLY ASH BITTERS. Ask your druggist for it. - PRICKLY ASH BITTERS CO., ST. LOUIS. MO.
