people of some German cities well nigh live
on beer. The v.-ojivn drink almost as freely
of it as their husbands and brothers. The
shopgirl or milliner's assistant in Munich will
trip into tho neighboring beer hall at noon,

Mie wanders v. ith her sweetheart into an ol

listening to tin. band and drinking beer. For
dinner she has probably consumed the second
or third quart of beer since morning and a
Frankfurter sausage sandwich. Tho natural
result of so much beor drinking in proportion
to sol id food taken is to give tho people of
Munich a kind of flabby apjiearance, and to
make them drowsy. The wholo city seems to
be in a semi-eomatose condition. The cab
men fail a-ilecp so often on their boxes that
ths municipal authorities have found it neces-
Fary to impose fines upon hackdrivers found
ni-leep at their post. Notwithstanding the
universal consumption of beer, however, tho
Germans of the wealthier class drink a good
deal of schnapps.
HUNOARY BULGARIA TURKEY".
Ueer holds it3 own all through Austria to
beyond Vienna, but wine and liquors usurp
tne throne ngaiu iu Hungary. All down tho
valley of the Danube llow Budapest the red
loam bluffs fairly ooze the rich wino of Hun
gary. Every town and viilago ha3 it.s adja
cent vineyards, and every village gosthatis or
city hotel has an al fresco vine garden. Here
the good people congregate of an evening and
pas tho hours away drinking wine, gossip
ing and listening to the weird music of a
Hungarian Gyp." band.' As in France, the
Hungarian peasant makes merry on red wine
tha't only tho well to do of most countries can
afford to drink r.d libitum.
Deer, wine and schnapps are common
enough all down through Slavonia and the
lower Dauubian provinces, but a change
takes placa wh?n 01:0 gets fairly into the Bal

speakable Orientals whose ways arc not as
our ways. Sherbet, mastic and coffee are the
beverages of Bulgaria, Roumelia and Turkey.
The former may lie merely a glass of water
in which a lump of sugar has been dissolved,
or may be a concoction of fruit, sugar
and rose water, or of various mixtures be
tween theso tno extremes. The drink called
mastic is said to be a preparation of imported
Boston rur.i and gum mastic. It is a vile
liquor, nnd about as deadly as the ''bug juice"
of the Rociy mountain saloons, but makes an
agreeable ta?tir.g beverage when mixed with
several times i.s bulk of water.

beverage of T::rkey. It. is served in tiny

According to the English surveyor general

Without a moment's hesitation, iu tho
most indi.Tureiit manner imuginable, Forrest
replied:
"I don't koro a . I'll about fuco
an' I'll bo in thar rar."
While crossing tho Tennessee river (return
ing from this rame raid) his rear was strongly
pressed by tho Federals. Tho ferryboats had
to bo pulled back nnd forth by baud. Tho
weather was terribly cold and as tho men
haulod upon tho vot ropes their hands would
literally freeze to them. Forrest thought
those on tho cant sido wero working too
slowly and crossing over ho immediately put
every one to work olliecrs an well as privates.
Tho colonel who had boon left iu command
on the west s:do sent his sergeant major
across tho l iver with nil important me.-sago
to Forrest. Tho sergeant found tho ge.neral
hauling on a rope, alternately encouraging
and dunming every one near him. Ho ran
up to Forrest, and began:
"General, Col. AVoo"
"1 m colonel whoever ho is. Ketch hold
of this rope and help pull tho boat in!"
"But, general, colonel
"Don't talk to me. Help pull this boat in,
or I'll throw you in the river," shouted Forrest.
''But, general, I'm sent ," began tho ser
geant, when Feirrest seized him, anil with ono
twist of his muscular arm lifted tho messen
ger eleur off his feet, aud stood him up in tho
water waist deep. Tho sergeant, to savo
himself as ho went over, seized hold of For
rest's coat anil pulled tho general m witu
him. Forrest returned his hold of tho ser
geant, and oxchummg, "kpiinky dog, eh!'
ho soused him under the water and hold him
thero a few seconds; then lifting tho ser
geant's head above tho water long enougn
for him to catch his breath, ho would shovo
him upper water again, and again bringing
him up would exclaim:
"Spunky dog, eh! '
After immersing tho sergeant several times
Forrest helped him ashore, when tho latter,
half strangled and coughing, tried to draw
his pistol. Forresc g.ivo him two or three
slaps on tho back to help him expel the water,
from his lungs, saying at the same time:
"You d little fool, don't you know your
pistol is wet and won't fire?" Jacksonville

I'ntor.t Leather SI1009.
"Can patent leather Loots bo kept from

maker whom an inquisitivo roporter ap
proached or the subject shrugged his shoul
ders and smiled tho smile of ono who knows
much.
"But how can you prevent this destruc
tion r
'Easiest thing in tho world. Of course I
dou't mean that this cheap trash which is sold
for patent leathor can lo made to look well
after a couplo of days' wear, bflt gootl stuff
may be preserved until tho soles wear off
by the way, quite an unusual thing nowa
days. First, a great difficulty is brought up
in the buying. 2io flue shoo can be found iu
the stores that will exactly fit. Patent
leather, unlike other foot covering, must bo
jierfectly shaped to tho wearer's foot, other
wise creases will immediately form, which if
not attended to will make great cracks. Now
a good shoe of this kind should, with proper
care, last the average man twro seasons, and
will at the end of this timo bo scratched to
bo sure, but not cracked. Every couplo of
days a bath of oil should be given the boots.
Any oil will do, but neat's foot is preferable,
and once a week at least linseed oil should be
applied. This treatment will make the
leather soft and pliable. After each appli
cation the shoe should be wiped dry with a
rough woollen rag, and there you are. Tho
tirade made by some alleged medical experts
against patent leather amounts to nothing,
for this material makes a comfortable and
healthy covering for the foot, and when
made properly admits all the air necessary to
keep tho saiii and circulation in perfect
order."
"Is it being worn ns much as ever?"
"Bless you, yes, and a hundred times more.
I myself have made as many shoes of this as
of any other leather this year, and, putting it
down in dollars and cents, patent leather
saves a great deal in 'shines' to its wearers.
The bootblacks cry it down, but sensible
people see its economy and clamor for it."

Tho Pepper Tree.
Some time before reaching Santa Barbara
we began to sse tho popper tree of which we
had seen isolated specimens before in great
numbers, and presently miles of hedges com
posed of this graceful tree met our eyes. The
pepper tree is large and tall, with branches
drooping after tho manner of the weeping
willow, only not to the same extent. The
foliage is thick, the leaves being long and
slender, growing close together and having a
very graceful and feathery effect. In tho
spring they are covered with clusters of tiny
light yellow, creamy blossoms which look as
soft and downy as the back of a newly
hatched chicken and of about the same color,
taken as a mass. These disappear and lQng
clusters of small berries gradually ripen and
blush to a vivid scarlet iu tho warm sun,
making a wonderfully pretty Lit of color, con
trasting with the light green leaves in tho
landscape. In loaf, in' bud, in blossom, in
fruit, it is always a lieautuul and graceful
thing to look upon. As the seasons change it
simply changes its dress, the new one seeming
lovelier than the- old; it is never bare and
desolate like other trees. Tho pepper tree is
very common in southern California, but its
perennial beauty preserves it from the fate
of many another common thing. Cor. Cleve

A 3Iuch rHore Graceful TVay.
To bombard a stage favorite with huge

gallants from the galleries, as used to ba the
fashion in bygone das, or to hido her behind
a pyramid of baskets, pillows, harps, stars
and other emblems suggestive of a political
funeral, as is dono now, is alike inartistic and
unseemly. How much more graceful it
would be for members of the audience to toss
from their places each a single rose, or spray
of buds, which would carpet tho stago and
make a bod of flowe: s for the actress to tread
upon, as blossoms are strewn in tho path of a
bride. Surely this custom would be mora
beautiful than that which is now in vogue,
aud thero would be a sentimental phase to it ;
which is lacking now namely, tho fact that ;

Uncertainties of an I'nknowu Mount A
Kidcr Hurled luto Mid Air An Old
Kancuroo I.euiiliitr Elghtevu J'oet at
u. Jump The i'lui!i.
By tho time I had regulated my stirrups,
looked into the curb chain, and taken that
last general survey which a man usually does
lief ore trusting himself to tho vagaries of an
unknown mount, Cameron rodo up on a
rakish chestnut, surrounded by his pack of
kangaroo dogs. These dogs, by tho way, are
a cross Wtween a fox hound and a stag
hound bitch, or vice versa, tho former. Low
ever, living tho more generally sought after.
Glcntworth had chosa a quiet little mare,
who, to all appeurances, had nothing to
recommend her but the beauty of her shoul
der, and a certain look about her quarters
which meant jumping. Wallerton was vainly
endeavoring at tho same timo to retain his
uat uud to keep his long shank rpurs away
from his horse-s ribs. Tho piebald gavo 0110
or two smuller bucks, and then, gathering all
his force, lifted himself high in tho oir, all
four fuet at once, burst the girths, and as ho
struck ground Wullurton and the tuddlo gavo
a twist to the left und came down with a
crash. Tho horse, having accomplished his
intention, gavo a grunt of satista -tkm, and
with ill concealed contempt for his prostrate
foe, leisurely strolled away toward tho stables.
Wallerton slowly sat up, with tho saddle
still betw(-n his legs, and gazed at his con
queror; then with udmirablo self possession
ho took his flask from tho saddle bag. uncork
ed it, toasted his piebald in due form, and
having replaced the ila.sk, stood up with a
comparatively unruffled exterior.
I put my hand 011 my tafs withers, and a
groom giving mo a knee, ilung myself across
tho pig skin; before, however, I had put my
feet into tho iron?, tho brute's head and foro
hand disappeared us if by magic. His quar
ters struck mo in the back, and I was hurled
into mid air, dropping with my usual luck
into tho midst of tho dogs, who showed nn
evident desire to give tip a breakfast of
kangaroo and partake of the meal thus un
expectedly provided for them.
At last we got started, and hail not ridden
more than two miles when wo viewed three
kangaroo, one of which, by his immense size,
gave promise of being an "old man."
Having held bauk for a moment to let the
hounds get fairly awa, we g'lve our eager
horses their heads and followed. On we
swept, through tho clear light of tho long
shadowed dawn with the quarry and hounds
in view. Just ahead was a heavy log fenco
which wo all cleared easy, my horse, how
ever, taking off at such distunco that I
thought wo wero on it. Vv'e landed though,
with lots to spare. This gave me confidence",
and I began to work him to tho front; with
tho music of the pack ringing, peeling, risin
in ecstasy, and tho trees shooting backward
as if on wings; past Wallerton, Glentworth
and Cameron, over a flight of rails and into
uti onen where tho hounds were tumbling
over tho two smaller kangaroo. The old man
meanwhile, head erect, leaping, bounding
away, covering at least eighteen feet at a
jump, was gaining a good lead. 1 passed tho
hounds at full speed, with a cheer, and the',
leaving the dead, sprang on in chase cf tho
living, their throats wetted with their kill
nnd eager for the nobler game; so eager, in
deed, that they outstripped me, although my
horse was running as if 111 a finish. A short
distance ahead I saw the dark line of a dried
water course. At this the old man went, and
with a gigantic bound cleared it and leaped
on undaunted. At it went the hounds some
over, some in and out. As my turu came I
steadied my horse and sent him at it with a
shout; he roso clear, and in a second's flash I
saw the rocky bottom far below me. We
struck with a slide in front, a scramble be-
Lind, and a stumbling recovery, but safely
over, and as I throw myself back in tho
saddle I saw the old man standing high
against a gum tree, at bay, or, as the Aus
tralians have it, "stuck up."
I sat down and set my horso going, con
gratulating myself on being alono at tho
death, when Glentworth shot past mo with
tho immovable seat that had ever character
ized his dreaded run in, and dismounting,
billy in hand, made his way through tho dogs
and stood liefore the kangaroo. I followed
his example, and for the first timo enjoyed a
struggle with a "game old man." He stood
with his back firmly pressed against the tree,
his head up and his eyes gleaming; ho kept
Lis short forelegs moving somewhat after the
fashion of a nervous boxer, and ns the hounds
pressed upon him ho would strike with one of
his long hind legs a blow so hard that the
hound it reached ran a fair chance of never
again responding to his huntman's call; for
that swift, clean reach would strike him in
the throat as he rose to his leap, and the sharp
claw, tearing through rib and sinew, would
leave a wouud so deep and jagged as to be far
beyond the roach of the primitive surgery at
hand.
During the time that Glentworth and I had
Btood inactive, three dogs had been put bors
lu combat, and now Don J uan, the pride of
the pack, had reached the kangaroo's throat,
and unmindful of the blow that partly dis
embowled him, refused to loosen his hold.
Seizing my opportunity, 1 ran in, and with a
fierce blow of my loaded club, or billy, de
livered on the head of the kangaroo, I
dropped him, and the dog3 finished him in
short order.
Cameron and Wallerton now rodo up, and
Cameron, dismounting, looked to the wounded
dogs, two of which were found to lx be
yond recovery. Theso wero mercifully dis
patched, and he. taking Don Juan over his
saddle bow, whilst I took tho other, wo
started toward home. The run had been ex
ceptionally good, aud tho kill perfection, as
it is not oft,?n that a hardened old Inan will
prove game when ''stuck up." Ilallett Al.sop

1:1.. . I:. - e
into iuo lasuion piaicf 11 a woman yoes to a
photographer and has a full length photo
taken, the first thing she will notice is that
her feet loolt so big. The reason i.s that tlio
photo does nofrflatter. If n woman standing
5 feet 3 inches (fo), which is a little above tho
average height, wears a No. Cshoe, she thinks
her feet awful cunning, while No. Ii means a
foot nine inches long, and nine inches into
sixty-three inches will go seven times, so that
the foot is one-seventh of the height, and if
you will measure a man's foot ami divide his
height by the length of his foot, you will find
tho same rule holds namely, tho foot is
about one-seventh of the height in men and in
women, only men wear coarse, clumsy shoes,
that oblige them to be loose and large, whilo
women, r.s a rule', wear shoes of a dainty, soft
material that permit the shoo to be smaller
than the foot.
So with other errors, 111 a fashion plate,

malce a woman out to bo about tea feet tall

they mako tho drawing untrue. Can it bo
that woman must be grossly flattered, and r.ro
we justified in the flattery . Is woman so siliy

Tho other day Rubinstein entertained a
large number of visitors at his house, and
several ladies of the company amused them
selves by looking through an album that be
longed to the great pianist. On ond cf. the
Cr.st pages they found a faded likeness of a:i
old Polish Jew, and wondered how it got
there. In answer to their inquiry Rubin
stein said, with a smile: "That is a personage
in whom 1 am greatly interested, and I shall
Lo very happy to inform you Low we becams
acquainted. I was very young at tho time,
and had advertised my first concert iu a
Polish town. For half a day I had been
Bitting tih tho pay desk, but nobody seemed
iucliucdtopurcha.se tickets for a pianofort3
recital, end it looked as if my audienco would
be composed entirely of those to whom free
passes had been distributed. Suddenly an
old Jew, who had just made a good bargain,
came to the desk, threw down a ruble and
said:
" 'I'll take half a dozen ticketa.' "
"This, my first paying hearer, caused me
such iuespressible delight that on visiting the
town sever-.il years later I had him photo

come ahel never incurred a debt that he had
not tho means of paying at the time it be
came due. Within his income he was first
st, then generous. During his first term in
the Senate, he was dependent noon his pay
as senator and a little couvrighD monev for
his support, although during a portion of
that time ho added somew hat to his income
by lectures. Iu his latter days, however, he
was r.-ndered somewhat easier in circum
stances by a small fortune that came to him
by the successive death of several relatives.
For much of hi life he was a poor man in
straightened circumstances, but ho would
never be obliged ti any one for anything but
kindness. lie would not allow another to pay
any expense that ha incurred, not even a
horse car fare. Whilo making speeches dur
ing the presidential elections he would never
allow tho congres't-inaii i:i whose district he
spoke?, and who was to bo most benefited- by
hi; efforts, to pay even his railroad fare.
lie was 1:0 gift taker; he would interchange
Tf ifts r.3 well as kind olllces with others, but
tho balance of the obligation alwaj-s remaiucd
on his side. His generosity to tho servants of
the houses i: which he lived was proverbial.
Sa:a Ward said that ho lived liko a pauper,
but gave like a king. 2so ono can wonder
that tho servants even temporarily iu his
employ were attached to him, when his con
sideration for, ns well as bis generosity to,
them is fully understood. Eut withal he kept
within Lis income; barely, it may be, but
ttill within. He was scrupulously conscien
tious, and never took a doubtful dollar.
