ODD FADS AT MEALS. SOME QUEER THINGS THAT ARE NOT ED IN RESTAURANTS. The Ma Who Ate Cream on Hla Beefsteak and Seemed to Like It. Butter on Ice Cream aud Tie and 1 the Lobnter and Milk Combination. A tall, thin man mine into the restau rant, aud a new waiter showed him to a table and handed him a hill of fare. The mnn didn't even glance at the hill. "ltriug a suiall stenk, very rare, and a couple pitchers of cream on the side," he said. The waiter disappeared aud in a few minutes came back with the steak, a cup of coffee and two pitchers of alleged cream, lie ranped them in front of the customer, and the latter glanced them over. 'When his eye struck the cup of coffee, he scowled. "I didn't order no coffee," he half yell ed at the waiter. "Well, I s'posed when you said two pitchers of cr" "Take it away." The waiter put the cup of coffee on his tray and gathered up the two pitchers of cream and turned to retrace his steps to the kitchen. "Bring them creams back here." The waiter nearly tripped himself as he spun around. He meekly placed the pitchers by the side of the steak without a word and stood rooted to the spot The tall, thin customer picked up the two pitchers and emptied the cream on his steak. The waiter's eyes bulged out and his chin dropped as the mnn began eat ing his strangely seasoned steak. Just then an old waiter nudged the new one and called him to one side, warning him with: "Say, you better watch out, cr the old gent'll hop on to you fer watchin him. That must be a new one on you cream on stenk huh? It's an old one around here. His nobs there comes In here an orders that same lnyout about every other night. "Well, I have seen more ridiculous com binations served to freak feeders in my time than I could remember in a week. Oftentimes the dishes served are eata bles thnt fairly fight with each other. One day n man came in and gnve me an order for broiled lobster and milk. Now, thnt is a combination that is simply aw ful. I told the customer I didn't want to seem so impudent as to offer him advice as to what he should eat, but I thought I ought to tell him thnt lobster and milk made a bnd team. He laughed, thanked me, and told me to bring on my fractious team and he would try to break 'em to drive double. Thnt was enough for me, and I brought them on. That man was sick for three days. He came in nfter ward aud told me all about it; said the next time he'd take my advice. "I once saw an apparent granger spread granulated sugar half an inch thick on his roast beef and cat it with ev ident relish. I have seen thnt fent per formed only once, and will likely never see it again. Several times I have had to have strawberries warmed for a well known Chicago business man. Yes, I know that is n hard one to believe, but it is a fact. Took the berries out aud put thein in the oven for a few minutes just left them there until they were soft and utterly ruined for anybody except this man. He said they were fine. "Yes, I've seen n few old eaters in my time," said the waiter. "Nearly every day a man comes in here who cnts noth ing but a whole mince pie for his lunch eon. Some people think it would require a man with a copper lined stomach to digest that kind of luncheon every day, but so far my mince pie mnn is holding up beautifully. Another regular custom er takes honey and rolls and nothing else for breakfast every morning. He says it is the best and most wholesome break fast he has ever tried, and that he is go ing to keep it up as long as it agrees with him. One of the queerest things to me is the way people take acidulous things with dishes largely or almost wholly milk. I have seen people cat pickles with ice cream time and agnin. Frequently people put vinegar In their oyster stews and then complain that the milk is sour. "I have often seen customers make use of butter in a way that would seem very strauge to most people. This is putting butter in coffee. Thnt hns probubly been done in every restaurant and hotel dining room in New York. It is a custom which Is quite common in Switzerland. There sweet butter, unsnlted, is used. Hut even If there is a little snlt in the butter it vastly improves the coffee for many peo ple. Then, once in awhile, we see diners put butter in hot milk. I suppose that is to mnke the milk richer. I once snw a mnn put butter on his ice cream, but I suppose he was just doing it for nn ex periment. Of course buttering pie is not rare by any means. "We see absurd thiugs at the table ev ery day, but they come so thick and fast and we have so many other things to think about thnt we don't remember them," said the restaurant proprietor. "I recnll a few incidents thnt struck me rather forcibly. Sonic months ago a rather old lady used to come in here very often in the evening and order n Welsh rarebit. She always brought in with her a little bag of peppermint lozenges, and she ate the peppermint with her rarebit. We used to have another regular cus tomer who cninc in every dny and order ed oatmeal and hot buttermilk. He nte the combination ns if it were the best thing in the world. Then there was an other customer who wns fond of oatmeal whom I saw on several occasions pour tatsup into the dish. I thing I should be afraid of the effects of oatmeal and cnt sup. I saw one performance thnt fnirly made me gasp. A mnn enme in and took a seat at a far off table, and, before a waiter could get to him, be poured out half a glass of Worcestershire sauce and drank it off at one gulp. On another oc casion a fellow came in under the influ ence of liquor. He ordered only a cup of coffee. When he got it, lie poured out half of the coffee nnd filled the cup tip with olive oil aud drank the mixture. If he was taking the oil. to prevent liquor Influence, he took it a little too late."

The Ordeal to Which a Samoaa Lov er Was Subjected. The following grewsoine though true story shows what a powerful lever fam ily approval and tribal influence exert upon the Snmoan character. The story is vouched for in every detail: A certain young Samoan, the son of chief, who hod reached that age when "a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love," became deeply enam ored of the taupo, or belle, belonging to a neighboring village, between whose "talk ing man," father of the taupo, and the suitor's family there existed a bitter feud. The attachment was reciprocated; but, as is customary in such important matters as matrimony, the question of eligibility was duly submitted to the aiga (a-e-ua), or family council, which promptly returned a verdict of "impos sible." Instead, however, of accepting the decree of bis family and renouncing his inamorata the young mau rebelled and declared he would wed his dusky sweetheart in spite of all the code of Fan Samoa aud the trammels of family and tribal disapproval that could be im posed. The young girl also asserted her Independence and scorn for the obstacles Which were put in their way aud, with the help of a few girl friends, began pre paring her trousseau of fine mats and gaudy tapa, which brides in Samoa af fect. The wedding day approached. The feeling between the rival villages ran high and, before the arrival of the dnte fixed for the ceremony, culminated in open hostilities. Overwhelming pressure was brought to bear upon the poor lover, who was reviled and taunted with being a traitor and all the curses of endless generations of ancestors heaped upon his devoted head; family influence combined to exert its every wile to break the en gagement, but still he stood resolute. He was driven from house and village, an outcast on the world, and his property confiscated and divided. The day came, and the bride sat alone, deserted by her family, waiting for her faithful bridegroom. The hours passed. He did not come. Suddenly a step was heurd outside the hut, where she anx iously waited. She rose expectant. A curtain was thrust aside. Something wns thrown into the room and rolled to the feet of the horrified girl. She stoop ed and picked it up, nnd then, screaming and laughing, she fell upon the ground, a maniac. It was the severed head of her father, and before her stood her aflinnced hus band, stern, relentless and cold as if turned to stone, in his hand the terrible mife-oti (head knife) freshly dripping. Family persuasion bad triumphed at last, and the ordeal which had been given him of proving his fidelity to tribe nnd family In order to be forgiven wns the task ho had performed taking the head of the bride's own father and throwing it at her feet. The shock was too great for the poor girl, whose reason mercifully gave way. She may yet be seen about Apia, home less and wandering, a sadly pathetic fig ure, decked, Ophclialikc, in bridal wreaths, with a chaplet of vines twined around her head, singing her family song of victory or crooning a love ditty. The young warrior upon whose fealty so ter rible a test had been imposed sought and found in war thnt oblivion which his poor afflicted bride elect yet hopelessly awaits. San Francisco Chronicle. An Artist's Trick. "I was manager of a big vaudeville company once upon a time," said a vet eran showman, "nnd one of our stars was nn amazingly clever 'lightning cari caturist.' He would stand before nn easel hung with sheets of ninuiln pnper and dash off portraits of celebrities in less time thnn it takes to tell it. Occa sionally he would do one upside down, nnd the certninty and celerity with which he worked kept me astonished until I got on to his trick. "The way it wns done was this: He would first take his ninnila pnper nnd make his drawings very carefully in a solution of Canndn balsam, which is a sticky gum, invisible a few inches nway. When he appeared on the stngc, he enr ricd n small sponge in his pnlm, covered with powdered chnrconl, nnd as he pass ed his hand over the paper the stuff Btuck to the prepared lines and made them black. He didn't really touch his pencil to the pnper nt nil. It was a good scheme and very difficult to detect. He used to get $150 n week, but he's dead now, so there's no hnrui telling." New Orleans Times-Democrat. The Laughter Cure. Therapeutic effects of different kinds have been attributed to laughter by tbu gravest medical writers from Hippocra tes downward. The father of medicine laid special stress on the importance of merriment at meals. The old physicians recommended laughter as a powerful means of "desopilnting" the spleeu. Fonssngrivcs snid thnt mirth is the most powerful lever of henltb. Tissot pro fesses to hnve cured scrofulous children by tickling and making them laugh. Du tnont de Montenux relates the strange case of a gentleman who got rid of an intermittent fever after witnessing a per formance of "Le Maringe de Figaro," nt which he had laughed consumedly. Other learned doctors state that nephritic colic, Bcurvy, pleurisy and other affec tions are favorably influenced by laugh ter. Medical Journal. He Believed In Tobacco. The lute Dr. Norman Kerr, the Eng lish temperance advocate, made a life study of the subject of inebriety, con cerning various aspects of which he had published about 30 volumes, together frith numerous articles in medical jour nals. On the efficacy of tobacco as a dis infectant he also held strong opiuions and made the following statement: "On broad, general grounds, I am decidedly of opinion, from my own experience and observation, that tobacco smoking other things being equal does give anyone ex posed to infection a considerable amount of immunity."

Zangwill in Collier's Weekly. "MYSTERIOUS DAVE." Bis Name Was llodebaoah, and He Was a Mystery, Sure. Dave Kodcbaugh was the man who was best entitled to the sobriquet of "Mysterious Dave," which has been wrongfully applied to Davo Mathea. Itodcbaugh's advent to the circle of fa mous western characters was unherald ed, but iu nowise lacking in brilliancy. It was nt (ireat Bond, Kan., iu the early seventies, thnt one Frank Whitfield, who by reasou of his former habitation was known as Texas Frank, was one day amusing himself by shooting up the town. His crowning feat of deviltry was to catiso the bartender of the Rome saloon to kneel with a full glass of beer upon his head aud to shatter the glass with a bullet from his revolver, fired from the opposite side of the room. Much amused nt the beer bespattered bartender, Frank proceeded to execute a dnnce of approv al. He was recalled to the bare sur roundings by the sharp command: "Drop it, pardner, aud shove up yer hands. I've got ye covered." Frank turned to look into the muzzle of a six shooter in the hand of a little red bended mau with a thin, red beard. Frank's hands went up very high, and the strange man ordered him to kneel with his face to the wall, which order wns obeyed, nnd, following the red hend ed iniiu's directions, the barkeeper placed a glass of beer upon his head. The strange mnn then stepped against the wall opposite and, with a shot from his revolver, smashed the glass in the same ninnner that his victim had done so re cently -for the barkeeper. After doing this the stranger backed out of the sa loon, mounted his pony, which had been left standing iu front, and rode leisurely out of the town. No one could bo found who knew him, nnd he was not seeu again for somo time. His next appearance was In the thick of a street and saloon fight, in which he contributed two men to Great Bend's boot hill. His nppearauce nnd departure were as mysterious as the first, and he wns dubbed "The Mystery." Not long nfter the incident last related he killed a faro denier, whose gun caught in the scabbard, aud was arrested. Al though acquitted, the inquiry disclosed that his name was Dnvc Rodebaugh, and he wns nfterwnrd known ns "Mys terious Dave." After Mntb.es received the title "mysterious" they were distin guished by the addition of their family names. In Mathcs' case the name was not the true one. Just here it may be stated that Mathes was a native of Ohio, his family being one of the most promi nent of the state, nnd that he was edu cated at the Ohio Wesleyan university. The writer knows that two of his strange disappearances from his haunts in New Mexico were caused by visits to that state. One was upon the death of his father and the other to attend the mar riage of his youngest sister. Chicago In ter Ocean. How He Imitated Nature. "How did you pnint the snowy rond in your picture of 'Napoleon Iu 1S14?' " I asked Meissonier.

I kneaded the clay and pushed across it this piece of cannon several times up and down. With a shod hoof I then pressed the marks of the horses' feet. I strewed flour over it, pushed the cannon ncross again nnd con tinued to do so until I obtained the sem blance of a renl rond. Then I salted it, and the rond was ready." "What did you salt it for?" "To get the brilliancy of the snow. Why do you smile? How else could you do it?" "It was very ingenious," I answered. "I compliment you upon it, but if I had beeu you I should have gone to Russia, where nearly every road is dug up in the way you represented, nnd should hnve painted n study from nature."

Judge K. 11. Martindale of Itulianiipolis owns one of the handsomest residences iu that city a Inrpo stone mansion bid den from the street by a thick grove of trees. It was in this) house that one of the most exciting functions ever known in the Hoosier capital took place many yenis ago, the true story of which is now printed for the tirst time. The Judge, who was one of the leaders of society aud nt the same time a pillar in the 1'resb.vtei'iau church, had issued invita tions for a fancy dress ball which at the last moment he had to withdraw be cause of the presence in this country of a large body of Presbyterian dele gates from Great Britain on their way to an international conference in the west. They were to be entertained nt the judge's on the night set for the ball. It so happened that every guest received his notice save one, a merchant mimed Woodward, who was on n trip through the northwest. It also happened that Mr. Woodward had hit upon the most star tling disguise of any planned. He had bought a complete costume of a Sioux war chief and intended making up ns nearly like the original as possible. Mr. Woodward did not return to In dianapolis until the evening fixed for the ball and therefore to save time put on his costume at his office and drove to the Martindale residence in his carriage, which he dismissed nt the gate. Through the trees nnd shrubbery he glided stealth ily until he reached the house. Looking through the window, Mr. Woodward saw some persons whom ho knew and ninny whom he did not, but every one wa in ordinary evening dress. "They've unmasked," soliloquized the war chief, "but I'll have my fun just the same." Thereupon, stepping on a ledge, he made one spring through the open window and landed in the center of a group of Scotch delegates, meantime brandishing a genuine tomahawk and ut tering shrill and blood curdling war whoops. The effect wns astounding to the nins queradcr. Some of the guests fainted, others crept under the tables mid sofas or fled to the tipper stories of the house. It took only nn instant for Mr. Wood ward to discover that n terrible mistake hnd been made. In order to preserve his identity and make his escape he gnve a few more whoops, executed a fearful dance and darted out of the window into the darkness. It was explained to the foreign guests that one of the Iiidiiinryvilis Indian tribes was evidently restless, but that no fur ther trouble need be feared. As for Mr. Woodward, his side of the story was not known for nearly 20 years afterward. Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post. UNCLE SAM'S STATIONERY. The Department of Justice Oonrlncts a Wholesnle Business. "The department of justice runs one of the biggest stationery concerns in the country," said n clerk of that department to a Star reporter. "We hnve to do that to supply the various officials of the de partment throughout the country. Not many years ago our stationery bureau was used solely for the benefit of this Immediate department. Judges, clerks of courts, marshals and other officials throughout the country purchased their supplies from stores in their cities and towns and sent us the account to pay. By this method we paid the retail price for everything. We found this would not do, as the highest prices were paid for everything. Under our present sys tem every official of the government com ing under our department makes requisi tion on us for supplies, nnd we send them at little cost, most of the time by mail. As we buy everything nt cost prices we save to the government thousands of dol lars each year over the old method of do ing business. "We carry a stock worth at .least $G,000 at all times, and all the judges, marshals, clerks and others send to us for their pencils, writing paper, etc. It's funny, too, what strange fancies some of them have. For instance, there is n cer tain western judge who won't have any thing else but a red pencil which is peel ed off when it is sharpened. Wc carry this pencil iu stock for no other person, as not many others have ever taken a fancy to it. I suppose be loses or mis places all the other kinds of pencils, but finds this one to his liking because he can easily sec it. Uight here in the District of Columbia is a judge who listens to ar guments with six pencils in his hands. He rolls these between bis fingers while he is busy, nnd never has less than a half dozen. He is not particular nbout the kind of pencil he has; Other officials have peculiar ideas nbout the kinds of paper, pens nnd ink they want, and they will have no other. Thus, you see, wc carry a more vuried assortment of goods than a stationery store." Washington Star. Mrs. It. Churchill, Horlin, Vt., fays "Our baby was covered with running sores.
