THE EAGLE: WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER U, 1894.
... : ,;
there is the man reseats chairs,
the man who polished up metal signs,
the wandering' plumber who repairs
leaks at non-union rates, and the
woman VJio is introducing1 prepara
tions for the complexion. The latter
takes the f'lady of the house" into the
kitchen, induces her to jsteam her face
over a pan of hot water and then ap
plies various creams, powders and per
fumes. When the lady of the house
has been done up in white enamel and
is afraid to smile for fear she will break
her face, the agent departs leaving the
house strewn with advertising matter.
But of all the queer ways of making
a living two boys on Fifth avenue
had the queerest It was so queer that
it smacked of swindling.
A well-dressed little man at the Ran
' dolph street corner stopped for a mo
ment to allow a car to pass. While he
was standing there a boy edged up be
hind him and hooked to his coat tail a
card on which was printed in black
letters:
BOLD.
As the man went across the street
several persons saw it and turned to
laugh at him. The second boy was
waiting across the street. He ran up
to the man and said: ''Mister there's
a card hooked to your coat behind. Le'
me take it off."
"Goodness me!" said the little man,
"how did that get there?"
"One of them tough lads put it on,
I guess."
"Confound them! Well, here boy,
here's a dime for you."
"Tanks, mister."
Two minutes latter the good little
boy hung in on a fat man and his part
ner on the other side of the street in
tercepted the fat man and collected a
nickel, lie had to ask for it, but he
got it.
A man would be a brute to refuse a
nickel to a poor boy who has done him
a great service. Chicago News.

TEA-HOUSES IN CHINA.
They Take the Fluce of the Club-Room
of the West.
The restaurant or tea-house in China
takes the place of the western club-
room, write Messrs. Allen and Sacht-
leben in the September Century, de
scribinj their bicycle tour in Asia. All
the current news and gossip is here
circulated and discussed over their eat
ing and gambling. One of their games
of chance, which we have frequently
noticed, seems to consist in throwing
their fingers at one another, and shout
ing at the top of their voices. It is
really a matching of numbers, for
which the Chinamen make signs on
their fingers, up to the numeral ten.
The Chinese of all nations seem to
live in order to eat, and from this race
of epicures has developed a nation of
excellent cooks. Our fare in China,
outside the Gobi district, was far bet
ter than in Turkey or Persia, and, for
this reason, we are better able to en
dure the increased hardships. A plate
of sliced meat stewed with vegetables,
and served with a piquant sauce, sliced
radishes and onions with vinegar, two
loaves of Chinese mo-mo, or steamed
bread, and a pot of tea, would usually
costs us about three anda quarter cents
apiece. Everything in China is sliced
so that it can be eaten with the chop
sticks. These we at length learned to
manipulate with sufficient dexterity to
pick up a clove's egg the highest at
tainment in the chop-stick art. The
Chinese have rather a sour than a
sweet tooth. Sugar is rarely used ir.
anything, and never in tea. The
steeped tea-llowcrs, which the higher
classes use, are really more tasty with
out it. .
PERIE.R AT SCHOOL.
How the Mew President of France Once
" Flunked."
Once, during the school days of the
new president of the French republic,
his professor in geography asked him:
"Pericr, give us the exact position r.nc
indicate the latitude of the Gambiei
group." Casimir-l'erier crossed hi
arms tightly upon his chest, looking
very perplexed. One of his neighbor,
whispered to him a wrong answer
whereupon the professor gave him the
exact position of this little group,
which belongs to the more important
French establishment of Tahiti, and,
after a short pause, and with a little
point of irony, said: "You ought to
know that, I'erior, because it is thanks
to your grandfather that France ac
quired the ascendency in these part:;
of the world; it was through his eiforts
and entreaties that the dusky queen
of these islands was induced to come
to France; and the men of my genera
tion still remember the comical songs
which celebrated the event." Ferier
blushed considerably; but, holding his
head still higher, answer the professor
with his quick and peculiar diction:
"I will most certainly go over this les
son again and try to be more proficient
at the next lecture; but, so far as the
deeds of my grandfather go, they are
so numerous that I am not old enough
yet to know them all" .1
