day. "That is it would for a year or
two. You might get a little wearied
ly some of their tricks after you had
seem them repeated a few thousand
times with very little variation. The
only way I keep the top of my head
fastened together when I am annoyed
by some particularly stupid thing, is
by trying to remember that It isn't
-he same person who keeps doing it
over and over.
For instance, here are throe

you tell which is the darkest one?"
The reporter said he couldn't and

iOf course hot," said the artist.
The trouble is that the proofs fade
raoidlr. Thov are not intended to
keep. The lady probably wrote the
order and laid the proofs one side for
awhile before sealing and sending the
letter. The darkest one lay on top in
a bright lteht and speedilv faded.
Now, when t ask her again, as I will
have to, it is most likely that she can' t
tell which one she picked out, for
there isn't much difference between
them. "
"That is a trifl though. People

State dining-room is also very large

of foreign sovereigns, notably one of
Louis Thillippe. Tho state recep

the employ of the
government, is one
of the attractions. It is composed of
thirty-three members, all natives.
They play as well as any first-class

every Monday mibrning in the palace

livery carriages as does Detroit. The

in the Sandwich Islands as well as else
where. Jn Honolulu whole streets are
occupied by the Chinese. They work

AMONG THE MUTES.
Carious Muprt Itlonn and Heller Existing
Among the Native of Aluttka.
. A belief in tho presence of evil spirits
constitutes the ouly ' religious idea
among tli'e Mutes. There are among
them individuals called toonrachs, cor
responding to the shaman of the Sibe
rian tribes. If a person is sick before
the whaling season commences, or a I
child is born before going on a journey
or building a-house, the services of the
shaman is called iuto requisition. Tho
modus operandi in every case is simi
lar. The shaman, after a long spell of
silence, suddenly begins to roll his
eyes, convulsive shakos prevade his
frame, and he gives utterance to vari
ous groans and sighs intermingled with
Sentences pertaining to the subject
upon which he is"eng:iged. During the
time of his performance a continuous
beating upon a drum is kept up.
Toward the end paroxysms, or rather
convulsions of exultation similar to
what have been described as prevailing
at the finale of a shaker meeting, are
exhibited by the shaman. Froth
exudes from his mouth, his eyes glare
and roll, and his whole frame is con
torted. Perspiration pours from hi
fade, and he is entirely exhausted. The
loud invocations to the evil spirits to
vacate the body of the sick person or to
drive them away from the sea to ena

to be noted. If a

in tho shape of a tent over the remains.
Owing to this insecure mode of burial
the wood soon falls down and affords
entrances to foxes and dogs, which
make havoc with the body. But little
regard is paid to the burial places,
although these Mutes are very much
incensed whenever attempts are made
to take away any skulls or bones from
the gravevards. Thev also make a
long detour in passing the resting place
of the dead, and will on no account
touch any thing onee deposited at a
burial.

QUEER CUSTOMS.
Interesting Facte Concerning November
Marriages in Holland.
Of the twelve months in the year No
vember is reckoned in certain villages
in Holland to be by far the most'ini-portant-
The four Sundays of the
month are known respectively as Re

chase Sunday, and Possession Sunday,
names which sufficiently explain the
purposes to which each is put by the
young people. On the first Thursday
in November all the villagers turfr out
in their best attire to be present at the
village fair and watch the respective
couples perform the country dance,
which is the invariable opening of such
events. On Review Sunday the unmar
ried girls and young men, after the
morning service, walk up and down
staring at one another to their hearts'
content- Having made up their minds
whom to select on the following Sun
day, the youths, with the politet bows
imaginable, salute the fair ones, and
judge from the way in which theircour
tesy is responded to whether success or
defeat is to be their lot. The third
Sunday is devoted to the less romantic
task of obtaining the consent of the
parents and arranging in business-like
fashion the details of the marriage set
tlement. The stem hearts of those in
authority havingbeen satisfactorily sub
dued, the following week the parson is
busy at marrying; but not until Posses
sion Sunday comes round are the happy
betrothed permitted more than an affec
tionate gaze, or at most a tender
squeeze of the hand. E. H. Coleman, in

NEW YORK'S HOTELS.
The Capital Invented in the Caravanaerlea
of the Amri Iran Mr,tropoll.
The amount of money invested In
hotel property in New York is vari
ously estimated, but according to a
fair allowanco the land and buildings
are worth f 13.0ob.000 that Is, an
averaged valuation of each piece of
property at $211.1)35.50. Of courso
this amount would be largely in excoss
of the value of more than half of the
regular hotels within the city limits,
but it is also awny below tbe just as
sessment of nearly twenty of the big
hotels now in business. The furniture
in the hotels is estimated as having a
value of $2,000,000, with an average
valuo of $32,259. Several of tho large
houses have expended $250,000 on
their Interior decorations, and three
or four even more than this. All of
these estimates arc pliuied exceedingly
low, yet they show that simply to
build and furnish the good hotels it
required an outlay of $17,000,000. This,
after all. is an "exceedingly small in
vestment when compared wilh the
amount of money required to aco m
modate tho guests.
At the legal rate of interest this in
vestment should return $850,000 a year.
Tt does all this and much more. The
total income of the number bf hotels
mentioned is estimated by good au
thorities as $14,750,000 c. year. How
much of this Is profit Is figured out in
this way: There are accommodations
for nearly 80.0M jvrson in the hotels
rated as respiwtab'.e. Th -e aro at
least two-thirds that number per
sons who are counted upon as regular
patrons. It costs a hotel keeper on
the average about $1.25 a day to feed
and attend to the needs pf ono guest.
This amount on an average patronage
of 20-000 would represent an outlay of
f?"000 a. d.ay r J9-025-00? a
nen tnis is auueu to tne interest on
the orginal Investment of $17,000,000,
it brings the total yearly cost, count
ing t e employ ment of servants. which
represents an outlay of $1,362,000 more
up to the respectable total of $11,237,
000. This deducted from the estimated
total receipts gives $3,513,000 as the
profits to be divided bt-tween sixty-two
establishments, and would be an ex
cellent chance for capitalists to go right
to work and pile up more capital with
the rapidity aud persistency of the
everlasting snow-balL
Sueh profits would easily explain the
reasons for the great number of big
new hotels In contemplation or already
under way. But, unfortunately, when
the noses of the guests of a big New
York hotel are counted, they don't
always mean a weekly or monthly set
tlement of the bill. The number of
"hotel beats," despite all tho precau
tions taken to detect them and to avoid
giving them credit, is a matter which
is exceedingly grave to the hotel pro
prietors. There are at least a thou
sand persons who practically live upon
the hotlpropi-ietors of .this city. Not
the same ones all the while, of course,
but the loss represents the loss of the
board of thnt number of individuals.
This at once makes an Inroad into the
big profit of $1,095,000 at an average
of three dollars a day. Then come the
breakages in dishes and the invest
ment in new cutlery, which in a prop
erly managed, house amounts at the
average to $5,000 a' year. This draws
another $310,000 from the profit: and
then come the thousand and one other
items of expenditure gas, coal, dam
age to . furniture, and the like which
run up to the big total of $1,026,000 a
year, and again- pare the profit down,
leaving it in the neighborhood of f 1.
082,000 to be divided among the sixty
, two otels, giving each an average
profit, subject to still further drains,
of $17,453. When one considers that
this profit has to be divided in most
cases among three or four partners,
the little hotels are not coiners of
money, and the student of finance as
applifsi to hotel keeping continues to
wonder why it is that big hotels are

W arch 17, 1884
I have been using Allcock's Pouors
Plasters for the last five years. Some
two years sro, after having been sick f
upwards of six mint lis with malaria,
found myself with an enlarged spleen
dspepic and constantly troubled with
headache, and mv kutiieis did not act
very well either. Having; spent most of
my monev lor medicine and medl al art

use Ai.i.cotks j'orocs Plasters, two t

tintivd using Ihe Pias'.ers about thirty
days, chaii(rii-e them every week. At th
end of that time I was perfectly wall, and
nave remained so ever since.

THE POWER OF GAB.
How It Advances tha Schemes of .Loud-
Mouthed politician.
"Talk la cheap," affirm one of the
practical proverbs of the day. We beg
to differ. Talk is not cheap; it Is - aa
expensive commodity, and too often m
commodity of little value. The ability
to express one's thoughts in a concise.
ritelliihle and effective manner, is a
valuable - accomplishment, but . the
rhetorical art of making a spread
eagle speech. with one grain of sense te
ten of superficial bombast, can almost
be rated as a vice. Many a man
has elevated himself ' to a re
sponsible position of public trust
with no fitness for the proper
!s hargo of his. dutios. But he could
make a nice speech, be could shake up
his auditors' with some side-splitting
anecdote, or melt them to tears by re
citing some pathetic incident No one
stopped to inquire whether in the man
agement of his own affairs he was a
success or a failure. Nobody carefully
considered whether the ideas he ad
vanced were sensible or practical. He
could sway an audience and that was
considered a conclusive test of his
ability. Isn't this a fair presentation
of the manner in which we select men
to administer our public affairs? A
man of admitted executive ability who
has made a success of his own business,
but has no rhetorical gifts, will stand no
show against the mealy-mouthed candi
date who has failed in every thing he
hat tried to do. but who can talk.
Talk is cheap, is it? Look over the
records of Congress and see what it
costs the country to print and publish
the useless talk, talk, talk that .binders
useful legislation and serves no better
purpose than to advance the personal
interests of ambitious politicians. The
country has to pay for all this talk, at
a big round price, too, but tbe man who
bas been sent to Congress had to furnish
his constituents some evidence of his
great value, and nothing is more con
clusive than a long-winded speech.
Great is the gift of gab.
