Mr. liowser.uatne ,homo at 2 oqlook,

"WiP, era. you ready!"
'For whnEff'
"VVhy to co down and buy those

"Airs. Bowser, aro von going soft in

We flibt visited tho oarpet store. 1
had not yet made op my mind wheth
er to buy a brussels or velvet, nor
whether to get light or dark .colors'.
I expected to take a chair and have

"Did I come up hero to buy oib

"Ah uml Lfrrlit or dark colors!"
"Light."
"But the daik aro all the style you
know."
"I don't know anything of tho soril
There aie plenty of white horses and

I don t know why light carpels

"Yes, sir; but you won't like it
This dark pattern is what .Mrs. Guv.
Smith selected for her front bedroom."
"Yes. Well, I may g-t that for my
horse barn later on. Send a' man tn
measure the room, and give me that
pattern."
"Why, Mr: Bowser!" I said. "You
huveu't selected already!"
"Certainly;"
"But we we "
a ive minutes is enough tor any
one to select a carpet, Mrs. Bowser.
We want body-brussels, and' we want
a light ground, i hat s all there s to
it. We will now go over and' buy the
tame linen.
"But can't I have time to look
"around!"
"Time! What do you want of time?
You want three linen tablecloths- and
two dozen napkins. W've got- the
money to pay. lor em., WJiat more is
desired!"
"But itVso sudden."
"So are earthquakes. Well co in
here."
We entered a dry goods store and
sat down to tho lineu counter. A
young man came forward to wait on
us, and after being told'whal.was want
ed, lie inquired:
"So you want some real linen
Well, here is somethinu 1 can recom
mend,"
"Ih that all linen!"
"Yes, sir."
"Is it!" asked Mr. Bowser, as he
turned to me.
I didn't think it was; but I told Mr.
Bowser to let it go. It' was the cus
torn in all dry goods bturee to lie about
such wings', and no one thought of
nii-iHg.a row.
"Madam," said Mr. Bowser, as he
to''k:the cloth over'to a mothoily old
lad, "is this. all linen!"
"aXo, sir; its Iiait cotton! she re
plied, after an inspection.
'" "Where's tho proprietor of thi
store!'' he demanded of the clerk.
"I I'll oalHiim, sir."
The proprietor came up.
-Is that linen!' asked Mr. Bowser.
"It passeH for lineni sir."
"If you put a cow's horns and a tail
on a-liorxe bed pass for a cow would
be! air, this looks to me like a petty
swindle, and one you ougul- to bi
ashamed of! '
The proprietor began to tilow up
the clerk, and clerk said ho d resign
nnd as we got out doors 1 penned Mr,
Howier into a doorway and sa'd:
"1 11 never, never dure enter this
store again!''
'Don t want you to. The man is
liar and the clerk lied by his instruct
ions. Wo II try another."
The next store was erowded, and a
wo reached the linen counter it was lo
find every stool occupied. I tried to get
Mr. bowser out, aulioipating trouh e
hut tiiilortunau ly at that moment one
lady observed to anoilv- r:
''Dear me, but this is ihe third after
noon I've oome down towq to buy
table cloth and htven't got suited yet.'
'And I want four crash towels, and
I've beeu all over town twice," repliet
the other.
"Hire, you!" snapped Mr. Bowser to
the clerk, "are you husyT
"Waiting on these ladies, sir."
"Have they bought anything!"
. "No, sir."
"Are they going to!"
"I I don't know."
"Well, l vo no time to fool away,
Wo want three linen table cloths and
two dozen napkins."
Tho ladies arose in great indigca
tion. E'.ch of them gave mo a look
that pierced mo to the heart and each
unegaveMr. Bowser alook which ought
to have shortened him two feet In seven
minutes we had found what we want
ed, paid the bill ami were ready to go,
The clerk acted a bit sulky, and Mr
Bowser was getting ready to give him
a blast when I appealed to him to
hold his peace. I told him it wai th
custom for Bovcral thousand ladies
come down town overy afternoon and
shop, and that shopping consisted
promenading up and down to show
their suits off to a lot off well-dressed
loafers, and entering the stores and
taking an hour and a half to buy asix
PMioe worth of laco or ribbon. Tho
clerk 'melted a little at the same mom
ent, and I got Mr. Bowser out without
another eruption.
"Now for the dishos,'' be Baid aa wo
got out, and we went to a crockery
store,.
My heart sank' as I saw tho place
crowded with ladled. Wo halted bo
ilde one who wil laying to a clerk t
"And so that tootb.piok holder is
six comtrt"
"Only six, madam.''
"How very outel"
"Yes. It Is."
"And it is imported!"
"It is."
"How very, very charming! This U
tho same ono I saw yesterday, is it!"
"Uh, certainly.'
"Dear, tho." but I wish. Iioould make
ud mv mind to take 'it 'or' 6t. You
see, wo' may ra6vVltl tho.'Hpring, ttnd II
wo moved you know
"I want about $15 worth ot dishes,
uterrupted Mri Bowser.
"1 es, Bir, in just.a moment.
"Hiiw many of these toothpiok hold
ers have you got!"
"Only five. '
"I'll take tho lot; and now como and
wait on me. 1 -want twelve cups and
saucers, twenty-four plates, three, oi
four platters, two turreens aud a fish
platter.
ihe lada turned about and killed me
load with ono long look. Then she
looked at the back of Mr. Bowser's
eek and tried to murder him, but ho
would not fall. Then, she returned nnd
killed mo over again, gave her should-
rs a wist and walked out of tho store.
Sho had barely departed -when n
fresh arrival asked our clerk, busy
though he was, to show her some tea
spoons.' 'Madamo, ' said Mr. Bowser, "do
you wish to buy somo spoons!''
"l'erhaps
"D i you know whether you do or
not!"
"Why I I will look at them."
"Very well: you Bit dowu nnd wait
until I am through buying. I came to
buy, know what 1 want, aud shall pay
cash. down."
I was killed again, and if looks
could havo crushed Mr. Bowser he'd
have been a mangled corpse in ten
seconds. V were'ouly thirteen min
utes buying tho dishes, and as we goi
out and reached tho car Mr. Bowsei
said:
"Mrs. Bowser,, when you come down
town do ynu go fooling around the
(tores and obstructing doorways and
crosswalk like tho women we have
seen to day!"'
"1 t gui 89 t do.'
"And end by buying four cents
wonh of something!"
"less it is the custom.
"And it would have taken ou threi
weeks to buy what wo bought in tw
hours!'
"Yes, sir."
"Then I'll write this very day to an
Idiot asylum and see if I can squeeze

native magioians, havo great iolluoncv
greater tban that exorcised bv the
mediclno men of our Indians. It was
to discount the paltry-wonders, these
marabouts were ablei to do that- the
renoh authorities invited Robert-
Houdiu to go over to Algiers and to
erform his most startling feats belore I
tho assembled chiefs and tho most iin-
portant Arabian medicine-men. They
Oped tO Show the Arabs that, beside
Robert-Hondin's marvellous feat, the I
pretty tricks of tho marabouts were al-1
together too Insignificant to be of
divine origin, as tho more ignorant bo
lioved them to bo.
Toward the middle of October, in tho
niddlu of tho autumn festival, aud
fter tho Arabs had performed their
onderfnl Fantasia on horseback. Rob-
erUHoudin gave his performance 'in
thcatro in Algiers, before all" the
chosen: Arabs; who cairie with their
chiefs, tribe by tribe, until the little
auditorium was absolutely traeked. It
must havo beei a most interesting spec
tacle to see these children of the deserts
many of whom bad never been inside of
theatre before; seated thuie iu send

rt-Uoudiu substituted for- his inox
haustablo bottle anjnexhaustab'o b wl,
from which ho poured mim'ierless cuiw
of Icuffeo, Hiuoking hot. Tho first cups
me tasted most timidly, as perhaps
ot'ovi. origin, but courage soon came,
and there was a general desire to try
the delicious beverage,
Three tricks Hobert-lloudin bad ar.
ranged specially to impress tho Arab
imagination, and these three be re
served to the end. Then ho said that
the.strange powers' they had seen him
xhiljit enabled him to deprive any
man ot his strength, and he invited any
Aai wno dated to step on the stage.
A eolidiv 'juilt Arab, with massive
muscles in perfect training, stepped
lorward nnd stood besido tbo magician,
Kobert- lloiulin held in bis hand a little
box well riveted together, and having
i stout handle. Holding this box for
niinuto swinging on his' littlo finger.
ttobert llopdin placed it on tho floor
"Aro you strong !" he asked,
"res." answered the Arab, with con
hdent carelessness;
"Are you sure of remaining so al
ways !"
"Always, tho native replied.
'"ijilt that littlu box," said tho ma-
gician.
The Arab lifted it, and said, colilly,
1b that all !'
"Wait,'' relumed Robort-IIondin
Thn, making a solemn gesture, b
iiontluued, "Now you are weaker tban
woman ; and this to an Arab is the
final degree of weakness. "Try to lift
the box again.
I ho r-trong man seized the box onco
ore,
lift it. But now the bos resisted, and
lespilo his utmost exertion ho could
not raise it from tho floor. After
many vain attempts he paused as
though to acknowledge tho influence
of nngio beyond bis ken ; but thl
would be to confess himself beaten, so
he braced himself for a final furiou
ffort. But soarcely had he seized the
handle of the box than a sudden shock
shook him. He dropped on his knees,
trembling and shrieking with uner
pected pain. Then hi rose hastily and
tied from Che thoatro, throwing his
cloak about his head, as though to
conceal tho shame ot his defeat, whU
tho faces of the remaining Arabs bo-
cune grave, and they gazed fearfully-
at Uobcrt-Moudin as though no were
really a sorcerer.
Tho explanation of this startling
trick is simple. 1 lie little box bad an
iron bottom. When it was placed on
thb floor of tho stage it rested over a
powerful electro-magnet. After the
-Arab had lifted it tho first timo tho
eleolrlo circuit was completed, and then'
no man who ever lived was strong
enough to remove it. The cause of
Un Algerian's spasm of' agony was a
shock of electricity, whioh Robert
lloudin by' a signal had had sent
through tho handle of the box trom an
induction ooil out of sight: behind tbo
eoenes.
The second of the special tricks lol
lowi d. Robert lloudin announced
that, ho had a talisman which made him
absolutely invulnerable, and that bo
defied the best shot in all -Algiers to
hit him. At this a marabout, who had
shown great excitement all through
tho peiformanc?, sprang on tho stage,
saying : "l want to Kill you r
Robert-Houdin handed him a pistol,
bidding him examino it. Tho Arab
lilow through tliaiiipploiiudftcratioizod
tho w enpon carefully. "If lsa' good
pistol," he said, "u'nd I will kill you.'
"Since you insist on it,1' repliod'Rob

HOW THF. PRECIOUS METAL 19 BENT OVtll
TO EUROPE.
"What aro you going to'tlo with nil
that gold!" asked an inquisitive perso
of George Wilson, the cashier at tbo
Assay Office, as three rnon dragged and
pushed a low, heavy, four-wheeled cart
out ot tho great vault wnere 'ji,uuu,
000 of Uncle Sam's treasures aro stored
iu the form of bars and briokt. On
tbo cart that tho men were tugging
and straining with wero two woode
boxes or trays, about the length an
breadth of a starch box, but not moro
than three or four inches in depth
Kach box contained somo twenty bars
of gold. The bars were' about four
ami a half inches long, but varied in
width from an lnoh to three inches
while iu thlekoess thoy also differed
from a quarter of an inoh to an inch,
"That," said the cashier, as he look
ed toward the oart with a contemptu
ous glance, "oh I that's a little lot ' we
are preparing for shipment to Europe."
"And, please what might bo tho val
ue of that littlo lot, just as it lies thcro
Ih tho boxes."
Well, that is worth 8300,000, or.
to bo exact, $298,177.31, It has just
been ordrrtd bv a banking house on .
William street for export to England."
'Do they send b.vs InHc.id of coin,
continued tho Inquirer, "and what for
niality docs onu have to go through to
obtain tho bus!"
'Almost lII gold sliipmcu's are inw
made in bullion or bars, suoh ns thfiso
you see. Clin Is seldom imported now
nor lias it been lor the last tnrco or
four years. The bars arc much more
easily handled, nnd the Iofs by nbrai

are less liable to be counlerieited. u

The same firOcess is gone through with
on this side when gold in either form
is reoived. It is mu ltd and ttfuast in
to bars.
"These bars," ho continued as ho
took up one of them, "run from 2,000
up to S5.000 in value : it depttids, of
course, on the side. Each bar is num
bered 'and its .exact value stamped' up
on it, together with tho United States
seal. The bar I hold Is No. 1)1,807,
and its value ia So, 1 13.31. When
banks or individuals require a quantity
of gold for shipment they come hero
and say what amount they want. Wo
take bari enough fiom tbe vault to fill
the order as nearly as possibleacd give
them a memorandum of theexact valuo
of the gold. This memorandum of the
exact value, of the gold. This memo
randum they take to the Sub-Treasury
and pay there the amount called for
by the numorandum, either in gold
ooiu or gold certificates or United

other ourrenoy is not received in pay
ment for 'gold. Upon payment into;
uhd Sub-Troasury of the amount called
fdr'theyreceive a receipt, oe certificate,
entitling them to the bars at the assay
office, upon- presentation of which tho
bars are handed over to them lust as
one would hand over ho many cakes of
dap."
"After the1 gold is delivered; what
db those who nceive it do with it!"
i "Pack it in kegs for transportation
A mati'by the name of George S. Spear,
who has a cooper1 shop ou Fielcher
street, ha made a- special business of
making kegs and boxes for gold and
silver shipment, and of 'packing the
same.- Spear has been engaged at that
Work for twenty years or more, as bis
father was before him. It is not every
cooper who can make a keg suitable
for carrying gold. It must be extra
strong and heavy-hooped, to hoi I sale
ly the weighty metal. But you can
Watch-tho manner of packing yourself,
for Mr. Spear lias just come to put up
a- lot. -After the gold is packed the
kegs are put on a cart and carried- to
the Bteanlcr, billed and delivered to
'ho purser, about the samo is any
ther merchandise. The purser, how
ever has 'a strODg compartment or' safe
which he places valuable parcels,
and the kegs do nof find their way into
the hold with the rest of the cargo."
'At thia point Mr. Spear began his
rierations. -Thred clerks from- tho'
bank 'that had purchased the gold were
present to toversee and aid in the work.

that was on' the outside of tho staves.

Was then turned end for end and tho

dust, but so far apart oh not to touch'
or rub against eaeh other. More saw

about the bars, when other layeis ot

were put on the same aa on the other

And all the earth with music filled.
