COMPLIMENTS AND COUNTERFEITS.

Trick* of Customer* to Cheat Lady Cash* iera in City Restaurants, “I don’t mind the smirks, and quips, and quiddities, and attempts at familiarity of the customers who come in here,” the lady cashier of a down-town restaurant said. “It is part of the business of a woman who accepts such a position to endure very many things that would shock many sensitive persons. In a short time one can get used to such things and simply not notice them. But it is a constant trial and a perpetual annoyance to be compelled tote on the lookout for all sorts of tricks and devices by which many persons seek to cheat the proprietor. It is difficult enough to look after those who try to slip out without paying, those who are in collusion with the waiter, those who eat a dollar’s worth at one table and ten eents’ worth at another and try to get out by paying the ten-cent check. That sort of cheating is easily detected. “But the most difficult thing to do is to escape taking bad money. It seems as if all the men who have bad money to pass try to pass it on lady cashiers. They seem to think we don’t know bad money when we see it. They will hand out a regular old-time counterfeit note and try to distract our attention with a joke or a compliment The game of deceiving lady cashiers with that sort of thing is very transparent I have got so used to it that when a man pays me a compliment now I always take a second look to see whether he is not giving me bad money. The other day a dude came in here with one of the new counterfeit silver certificates. I had read about it in a newspaper, and a policeman had just called at the door to warn us not to take them. The dude ate a hearty meal. His check was 80 cents and he wanted a quarter’s worth of cigars. He threw out one of the counterfeit silver certificates, saying as he stepped to the cigar case: “ ‘Two for a quarter, please.’ “I saw at a glance that the note was bad. I did not like to offend him by refusing it at once, so I took it up to inspect it. “ ‘Eighty cents and twenty-five,’ he said, carelessly. “ ‘Excuse me,’ I remarked, ‘but this note has a strange look to me.’ “ ‘Oh, that’s all right,’ he said; ‘it’s one of the new issue. Your hair looks very neat this morning.’ “ ‘Yes, ’ I said. ‘Could you not give me another note?’

“ ‘Beally,’ he said, ‘I would not have troubled you, but I wanted the change for car fare. You may give me all silver if you have no small bills. Your eyes are very bright.’ “‘I am sorry I have not change enough in the drawer,’ I said. ‘I will send out one of the "waiters to get change.’ “This staggered him, and he took the note back and handed out 80. cents change, and I was so well pleased at detecting him that I did not discover until after he had left that he had given me a lead 50-cent piece. I know several lady cashiers who lost from 20 to 50 per” cent, of their salaries for months before they learned to detect bad money. Once learned, it is surprising how quick you can tell it. You cannot tell how you tell it, but you do, as the saying is, ‘feel it in your bones.’ At first it made me nervous and apprehensive, and almost sick, to keep up the constant strain of being on my guard. Even now 1 wonder how the cashiers in the big banks do it so quickly. They have so much to handle that they can hardly give a glance at each note. But, of course, they do not labor under the disadvantage of having soft nonsense talked to them to distract their attention. “It seems as if counterfeit money is growing much more plentiful all the time, and the variety of notes is now considerable when the different issues are considered. It is really no easy task to learn the appearance of all genuine notes. “Then we must look out for pasted notes, and mutilated notes, and all sorts of light and bogus coins. I assure you that with all this responsibility a lady cashier has not much time for silly talk with customers.”— New York Sun.

A Social Insect.

Corruptio optimi pessima. Even teetotalism in the wrong place may do evil. There are certain teetotal insects in Assam who get themselves greatly disliked. The “tea-mite” has a reprehensible habit of making his nest on the tea leaves, of boring holes in the skin of the leaf, and then pumping out the liquor. The tea-nlite, as would Serhaps be expected, is a social insect. [is tea-parties are family parties; and there are sometimes a good many families at tea on an Assam plantation. The result is wholly discouraging to the Assam planter, tvlio has been known—strange irony of fate!—to take to drink owing to the excessive fondness of the tea-mite for the leaf which inebriates not The “tea-bug” is a beast of the same character; but he is described as even more destructive. He is, however, a tea-drinker of discriminating taste. He likes his tea weak, and will not touch the trees which afford a strong and rasping liquor. But as there are many valuable trees which yield a mild juice, suited to the taste of nervous persons and tea-bugs, the judicious insect is not regarded with respect in the tea plantations of Assam.— St. James' Gazette.

A Confirmed Blood-Drinker.

“Yes, I’m a confirmed blood-drinker now,” remarked a ruddy, merry engineer, “and it is quite a funny story how I happened to start at it, too. About three years ago my health was pretty bad, and my folks were very muoh worried about me. I got thin and hollow-eyed, and had a few night sweats. The fact is, I had consumption, and I knew it. I hadn't any other expectation than that in a year or so I’d have to give up my engine, and soon after that part with my wife and little ones. “I don’t know that I ought to say it, but the thought of leaving my engine gave me about as much trouble as the idea of parting from my family. People kept advising me to drink blood, and cited alleged cures to me by the dozen. But there was something abhorrent to

me about that kind of beverage, and I could not' go it. Two or three times I made an effort to down Some of it, but ’twas no go. Well, one day I was running along with No. 7 as usual, and feeling pretty well down in the mouth, too. I had begun to feel weak, and I had heard the boss. was making inquiries about my condition, with a view to laying me off It made me as blue as my boiler jacket. “Suddenly, at a country road crossing, a fool heifer jumped right in front of us. We were going lively, and as the pilot struck her it cut her up fearful, and landed her right up on the stack. I hope I may never touch my throttle again if a stream of warm blood from that heifer didn’t take me right in the mouth. My mouth was open, too, and in two seconds I had unwillingly become a blood-drinker. There wasn’t anything disagreeable about it, either, and I’ve been drinking blood ever since. That heifer saved my life.” — Chicago Herald.

Seaweed and Its Uses.

In tropical climates the little air bladders which support the seawracks are of great service; for the masses of seaweed are several hundred feet long and of considerable height, having stems the thickness of a man’s thigh, and branches and drooping stems which support innumerable forms of animal life, such as corals, crabs, worms of different kinds, together with mosses and weeds of the sea, and being besides a place of deposit for innumerable eggs of various creatures. In Scotland the tender parts of the seawracks, known as tangles, are used as food, and when cooked are considerd choice diet for cattle. The stems of a very hard, horny variety of the seawracks are used as knife handles. They are cut in short pieces, and while still moist or green, the blade is forced in at one end. When the stem dries it clings firmly to the knife-blade. Being gnarled and horny it resembles buck’s horn, and when tipped with metal and fully finished, forms a neat, inexpensive knife-handle. The rose-tangles are higher up in the scale of vegetable life, and their delicate tints render them very beautiful. Of these, pulse is an important variety to the Scotch and Irish, who, besides using it as food, both in its raw state and cooked in milk, find in it a substitute for tobacco. Carrageen moss is another kind of rose-tangle, from which a nourishing jelly is made. The Chinese use one variety of rose-tangle as a chief ingredient in other glossing preparations; twenty-seven thousand pounds are brought annually to Canton and sold at from 6 to 18 pence per pound.

The Pitahaya.

This queerly shaped plant, found in our Southwestern territory, where, amid dreary wastes, it rears its tall, pillar-like stalks, is the very king of the cactus family. It is found especially in the rocky valleys and slopes of New Mexico, Arizona, and California. It was first mentioned by those early missionaries who, reaching the Gila, described so many strange things that they lost all credit. But it is, as they related, a useful plant, bearing a nutritious fruit, as the hunters of a later day found. Its name in various Indian dialects differs, pitahaya, sahuaro, being the more widespread. For its first few years it is globular, and is found under the shelter of the green-barked acacia. Then it shoots up, and at the height of ten or twelve feet blossoms, but its stalk sometimes rises to five times that height. It has few branches, and. few of these have any blossoms. The oval or pear-shaped fruit are clustered together, and, when ripe, fall to the ground. They are green, reddish above, and the pulp is crimson, and not unlike a fresh fig in taste. It ripens in July and August.

The Loquat.

The loquat is a fruit about the color of an apricot, one and a half inches in length and one inch in diameter. The seeds are small and the flavor like the cherry, delicate, sub-acid, and good. A gentleman near New Orleans, who has trees twenty feet in height on his farm, declares that for eating fresh, for sauce, and for pies the loquat has no superior. The fruit does not easily pull from the stem, and, in order to ship a long distance, the stem must be* cut so as to avoid breaking the pulp. The loquat is grown from seeds with the greatest ease, also from cuttings and layers. In form it is globular and one and one-fourth inches in diameter. It begins to ripen in April and contintinues until the first week in July.

His Condition.

“So, Charley, you’ve got a sweetheart, I hear,” said one young man to another. “I’ve heard something of the sort, too, ” answered Charley. “Is she pretty?” “Rather.” “Father living?” “I should smile. Livest man you ever saw. ” “Well heeled?” “I don’t know whether he is heeled at all or not, but I have cause to believe he is very heavily toed,” and he limped away with a hurt look and a crumpled coat-tail.— Merchant Traveler.

Erin’s Symbol of the Shamrock.

It is an old tradition that St. Patrick, preaching one day on a grassy mound, and explaining the doctrine of the Trinity, one of the bystanders asked: “How could there be three in one?” St. Patrick, stooping down, plucked a Shamrock from the turf,', and, pointing to the three leaves united in one stem, told them it was an illustration of what he was endeavoring to explain. From that day the Shamrock became the emblem of Ireland.

COMQUERED BY LOVE; OR A WOMEN'S PRIDE.

By Fannie Deeping.

CHAPTER L INTRODUCTION. Nestled among the Berkshire hills, near Atlantic’s stormy main, not many years ago, was a tiny bnt flourishing village. Its inhabitants were of the gen«« homo sort of people who delighted in cleanliness and exhibited a marked preference for white paint, and in consequence from a distance the village resembled a huge snowdrift surrounded by rifts green. On the outskirts of this village, in an isolated nook, gloomy and desolate, stood a dilapidated inn of ancient build and architecture, its tall chimneys towering above the hill tops, as though striving to draw attention from the many American travelers passing that way. It had the reputation of being wholly satisfactory in hospitality, good fare, and cleanliness, and therefore was patronised greatly. This inn, called "Travelers’ Retreat,* was kept by one Herr Minkler and his wife, generous people, who had but very little knowledge of the English language; however, a sufficient supply, as will be seen, for ordinary purposes. The day upon which our story opens was very fine. The lawn in front of the Inn had been recently mown, the trees trimmed, the spacious walk swept thoroughly, and its general appearance that day went far toward verifying its far renowned reputation. At about 3 o’clock Cm. the old lumbering stage was eard rattling up the graded road, and all was eager expectancy at the Travelers’ Retreat. Herr Minkler entirely appropriated one window, being a square-shoul-dered, corpulent, broad-faced man, with re’d whiskers, small gray eyes, and a huge nose. He was no beauty, as you may imagine. But plain faces oft-times are beautified by a brilliantly cultivated mind and an unsullied character. But Herr Minkler was an exception, being avaricious, cunning, and a willing partner in any petty crime which was likely to consist of booty. His wife and himself were well mated, for she was greedy to a fault, and although anxious to appear perfect in the eyes of the public, was very careful, if possible, to assist all in her power in any money-making escapade. Dame Minkler was standing at the only other window in the bar-room, her short, fleshy form clearly outlined against the panes, while her nose, flattened against one of them, appeared to its fullest capacity. Her looks belied her character. She was cleve* and good-natured looking enough. The stage rattled up to the gate. The door was opened, and a lady and gentleman alivhted. ”Is this a tavern?” asked the younger of the two, a fine-featured young man, raising his hat. “Yes, sir. Can we do anyting for you, gemmen?” "Have you any spare rooms that we might hire for a few days?” “Zah. mine yung friend, we hav’ got dat samel Me an’ Katrina, we do all we can possible to mak’ de beepies comfterble.” “Ah! Then you are the landlord, I-judge?” “Daryou be right, sure! but comes in; I vill show you de ’comodations.” “We will take your word for it, my good sir, as everything exteriorly wears so neat an aspect.”

So saying, he settled with the hackman, and assisted his mother along the walk into the hall. They were shown their suite of rooms, consisting of a small parlor, tastefu ly furnished, and two bed chambers communicating. They were well pleased, and the refreshing repast which followed, was very appetizing, and relished by both mother and son. Mrs. Prescott was the lady’s name. She was traveling for her health; had been all over Europe, accompanied by her son, and was soon to embark for home. Her husband was a great speculator, and had been very successful thus far in his stocks. He very, seldom, if ever, left home, preferring the solitude and quiet of his own study in New York to the fatigues of travel. He was, naturally, of a quiet disposition, acquiescing in all of his wife's wishes, and doting on his son, their only child. Mrs. Prescott was refined and lady-like, and very proud of her stainless ancestry, and at an early age in life strove to inculcate in her son’s mind the importance of her teachings. She was tall and slight, with a well-bred air about every movement, small, well-shaped hands and feet, and a gentle, well-modulated voice. She wore a traveling dress of pray barege, with dainty lace fluting at neck and wrists. Her eyes were as dark and changeable as her son’s; she called him Ralph. They had sought this retreat for quiet and rest for a few days, ere starting for home. “I want to get a good taste of the rural,” she had said to Ralph, "ere we go back to the close, dusty city again. She led him wheresoever she listed, for her wish was his law. A more dutiful son never existed than Ralph Prescott, his parents declared. "Well, mother,” exclaimed Ralph, “I believe I will take a stroll around the premises, with your permission, while you aie getting acquainted with your new domicile. So, au revoir! and he playfully kissed his finger-tips to her and left the room.

CHAPTER 11. ALICE. As Ralph Prescott stepped into the hall he heard a stilled sob, mingled with the sound of-a scrubbing-brush above him, and beheld a little thin, ragged figure at the top of the staircase busily scouring and washing the steps. She was barefooted, and it amused him not a little, her evident mortification, as she strove never so hard to cover them with the poor apology for a dress which she wore, and which barely fell to fopy* knees She stopped scrubbing to answer the questions with which he was plying her, while her color came and went in childish embarrassment. ■ Well, my little maid, how do you. do?” he asked, as an excuse for addressing her, and gratifying the curiosity he felt upon observing her in tears. “Quite well, I thank you, sir,” she answered, with a charming little courtesy. "What is your name, may I ask?” “My name, sir, is Alice.” “That is a very sweet name, to my notion. But, Alice what else?.What Is your family name, Alfce?” ”1 don't know; I never heard, sir!” she replied. "And are you not our landlord’s own child?” “Sir,” she said, as she drew her little figure erect, and-assumed an air of hauteur amusing In one so young, “I do not know what right you have to ask me so many questions. I had rather not answer a perfect stranger.” And ere he could recover from his astonishment at such a manifestation of juvenile spirit, she had resumed her work again. He could not but respect the "little sprite," as he termeikher to himself. "But, by George, she has spunk,” he mentally concluded. “I don’t believe she is any connection of that uncouth old German and his irau. I am sorry that I offended the little Lilliputian princess, for I should like to befriend her lf*she would allow me. But, what pride! Almost equal to my own mother’s.” He had sauntered toward the stables, and seeing the hostler at no great distance, his soliloquy turned Into another channel. He took in great draughts of the exhilarating air, then reluctantly retraced his steps. The dews of twilight were falling, the birds calling their young ones home, and the sweet evening bells In the little white village were chiming the hour for prayer. What a hallowed, restful feeling came to the young man as the bells smote his ears, and seemed to strike a chord of harmony somewhere In his heart. His had been an unselfish, stainless life, so far; happy, carefree. No toil had hardened his hands or caused perspiration to dampen his brow. In short, nis life had been one c oudleSs summer day. As he re-entered the hall he heard loud, angry tones proceeding from the kitchen, accompanied by a child s pleading voice. The voice, no doubt, was that of Alice, and she was being severely leprimanded for some trivial fault by Dame Minkler. Ere he had gained the parlor door, with a little scream, Alice ran by him, and was In the act of flying up the stairs, when he arrested her flight by saying: “My poor Alice, what is the matter? Confide in me, my poor child; I will be your friend." “Oh, sir, I dare not say a word against her, but she is not my mother! They say that a mother loves her child: but sbe does not even like me, or she would not treat me so. Oh, sir 1 am so miserable!” “What have yon been [doing to cause her to misuse you, child?” "Oh, I know I did wrong, but I cannot help It, sir. I have an old spelling-book, which a kind lady gave me, and 1 do love to study to much that- sometimes, when I get my work done, I go away by myself and try to pronounce some of the long, hard words by first spelling them. She found me to-day up In my room and threatened to burn my book, and tried to make me give It up to her. Oh. sir, should I have done so? It is all the book I nave. The rest have all been burned from me. Do jou think that I did wiong, sir?" “No, my little girl; I think that you should lie allowed to cultivate your mind, especially when yon are to eager to learn. How old are yon?"

■Twelve years old, sir. But I must go now, or *Wai?a is the matter with your arm# Why have you that bandage around It?’ Alice flushed painfully as she sakk "Oh, that is only where she threw the poker at me because I was sitting thinking, after you left me to-day, and had not quite finished my work. But, oh, sir, I was so tired.* "My poor child! To be living in dread of punishment if she but rests a moment! What brutes they must be, to be sure.* The next morning, bright and early, Mrs. Prescott arose ana wandered out into the grounds, where she was soon joined by her son. "Oh, mother, I have a proposition to make to you; please grant it?" The above are the opening chapters of an interesting serial tale to be commenced in No. 38 of the Chicago Ledger.

DR. JOHN BULL'S SmiiftToHSro FOR THE CURE OF FEVER and AGUE Or CHILLS and FEVER, AND ALL MALARIAL DISEASES The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offered to the public for the SAFE, CERTAIN, BPEEDY and PERMANENT cure of Ague and Fever, or Chills and Fever, whether of short or long standing. He refers to the entire Western and Southern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion that in no case • whatever will it fail to cure if the directions are strictly followed and carried out. In a great many oases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle, with a perfect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prudent, ana in every case more certain to oure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two after the disease has been oheoked, more especially in difficult and long-standing oases. Usually this medicine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order. Should the patient, however, require a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four dooes of the Tonio, a single doee of BULL'S VEGETABLE FAMILY PILLS will be sufficient.
