It is rather surprising to find right on Park row a case that trusts its customj ers perfectly. This place- has probably I 800 regular callers. It is open day. and ' night, and is- run on a system of implicit faith in the honesty of num. While not a place strictly high class, it offers what might be culled a very “comfortable” pineal, with trimmings before or after Altogether,, it is simply a plain place for an everyday man, with occasionally a little something extra on the bill of fare equaling anything in the tity. This, of course, can bo said of hundreds- of similar places, but the system of payment is something novel. Th© proprietor, a stout German, boasts no cashier, as there is very little cash to take in. On the cigar counter is a daybook. The customer comes in, goes to the ice chest in. the corner if ire wishes and takes a quiet nip out of a black bottle. orders what lie wants on the bill of fare. It is served quickly and neatly. He then counts up his own. indebtedness and puts it opposite bis name in the book,including the “nip,” or a cigar, if he prefers that. He then, walks serenely out, knowing no proprietor is glaring at him and 110 cashier yelling for him to come back and make

the cash register good. This sort of childlike simplicity in: running a business in the very heart of a city tilled with bunkoers, green goods men and gold bricks without number is said to be a winding veqjure. Customers invariably seme weekly, Friday and Saturday being pay days, and the proprietor says he has as yet to lose a. bill through deliberate fraud. A little experience with a man like that is almost enough to renew one’s confidence in human nature. —New York Letter, in. Pittsburg Dispatch. Primitive Surgery. It is difficult- at this day to realize the horrors of a surgical Operation before the discovery of amvsthesia. The surgeon’s knife was necessarily pitiless, and the victim could only writhe and scream under the torture. The horror of an operation, even to a hero, may be better understood by a story of Nelson, included in a paper by Dr. John Ashhufst on “Surgery Before the Days of Ai.aesthetics, ” published in the Philadelphia Record: . No braver or more gallant gentleman ever lived than Admiral Viscount Nel-| sou, and after his right elbow had been ’ shattered by a French bullet in the as- ' sault at Tenerife he manifested the utI most courage, refusing to be taken to the nearest ship lest the sight of his injury should alarm the wife of a fellow officer whose own fate was uncertain. When bis own ship was reached, he climbed up its side without assistance, saying: ■' .

“Tell the surgeon to make haste ana get his instruments. Ijkuow I must lose my right aim, so the sooner it is off the better. ” “Ho underwent the amputation,” Sc, says a private letter of one of his midshipmen, “with the same firmness and; courage that have always marked bps. character.” And yet so painfully was Nelson, affected by the coldness of the operator’s | knife that when next going into action, | at the famous battle of the Nile he gave-1 standing orders to his surgeons that hot | water should always be kept in readiness during ail engagement, so that if another operation should be required he might at least have the poor comfort of being cut with warm instruments. Incredulous Sam Jones.. Did you hear of a funny Saint Jones, episode? At one of his meetings he called j on all the men who could assert they had never spoken an unkind word, io their wives to stand. Up got two. “Now,” he said, “all the women who never spoke an unkind word to their husbands may rise.” Up got six. “Sit down," Sam cried. “Now, I want the audience to pray for these liars!”—Time “ • *
