SECOND THOUGHT THE BEST.
. There is no denying the fact that the
proposed charter amendments were un-
popular with the masses when first pub-
lished. but sober second thought is caus-
ing a very decided reaction and many
who were loud in their denunciation of
the amendments and the men who framed
them have altered their tone very con-
siderably. There are always lwo sides to
a question and sometimes more. The
amendments as adopted by the council
were published without comment and the
bare fact that it was proposed to increase
the city debt $1,250,000 was like a verit-
able red rag shaken in the eyes of a mas-
culine bovine already goaded to despera-
tion. Discussion followed, but when
people have jumped at conclusions, no
matter how blindly, it is a Herculean
task to convince them that their conclu-
sions are erroneous. It is true that the
proposed amendments contain some
clauses of doubtful expediency, that of
vesting the governor with power to ap-
point local officers being a case in point.
But this is a matter that can be easily
remedied in the legislature and their few
defects should not be allowed to defeat
them altogether. In the general discussion
one strong point in favor of the amend-
ments seems to have been overlooked.
Section 131a., reads as follows:
Sec. 131a. The said city shall have
the power to appropriate the net proceeds
of the bonds authorized under section
131 of the city charter for the purpose of
paying and redeeming the legal and
vahd floating debts of the city existing
on the first day of January, 1887, not to
exceed in amount the sum of two hundred
thousand dollars.
The section here proposed to amend
authorized the issuance of forty years
bonds to the amount of $1,300,000, the
net proceeds to be used only in redeem-
ing legal and valid indebtedness of the
city then existing, (1876.) Now it so
happened that the city indebtedness at
that time was but $1,100,000. This left
the city with power to issue $200,000
worth of bonds which it could not utilize
and which were promtly cancelled. Now
the city is again in debt. Contractors
hold the city’s notes for work done which
notes bear a high rate of interest. The
bonds bear but 5 per cent, interest, con
sequently it would effect a very coasid-
erab'e saving to the city to be able to
cancel these high interest bearing notes
and substitute low interest bearing bonds.
Besides it is no credit to i e cil. to have
its paper hawked about by contractors
and disposed of to brokers for an; price
that it will bring. In addition to all
this it is creditably stated that
the contractors are growing tired of ac-
cepting the city’s notes and that unless
something is done and that speedily to
wipe out old scores there will be precious
little permanent improvement accom-
plished this year. Good streets are a
vital necessity and with the prompt pay
ment of claims now held against the city
and the snug sum of $200,000 in the
treasury lor the continuation of such
work as contemplated by the amend-
ments good streets can be had and the
present generation not taxed out of exist-
ence to secure them.
The alleged great Texas daily, the
Galveston News, is some pumpkins on
dramatic criticisms as well as political
prognostications. Yesterday’s News pro-
nounced the White Slave an excellent
play and Miss May Newman a grand
actress. To-day it classes the play with
#uch dramatic abortions as Kit, the
Arkansas Traveler and pronounces Miss
Newman’s acting limp and lifeless. The
News generally gets things abotft right
if only given time.
A Picture of the Auction lioom—A
Drunken Miner’s Gootl Fortune.
M. D. Varigny, in The Revue des
Deux-Mondes, publishes the first of a
series of remarkable articles on San
Francisco. This first one is devoted to
the phenomenal origin of the great Pa-
cific capital, and incidentally, M. D.
Varigny tells as many good stories, one
of which might have furnished Bret
Harte with a theme on which to use his
most delicate embroidery. Speaking of
the early growth of business in San Fran-
cisco, the author says: “The auction
room sprang into existence in a night.
It was a supply in response to an urgent
demand and prospered forthwith. The
‘auction room’ of San Francisco had but
a vague resemblance to the usual places
of that kind. It was at once a sort of
banking house, commission depot, shop
and bar. The auctioneer was usually en-
throned upon a hogshead, from which
proud position he looked down upon his
public. There, amid jokes, puns and
more or less spicy pleasantries, he drew
the crowd into his shop, shouting out the
sale at auction of the mqSt heterogeneous
objects; lots of lands, miners’ tools, ship
cargoes to deliver, horses to take back
from squatters, clothes, wood and sails,
rice and salt pork, boxes and barrels—all
were piled around about him. He re-
ceived and repeated offers, was prompt
to catch a wink of the eye, talked like a
rattlebox, exciting purchasers to new
ardor. The sales took place from 10
o’clock to noon. Then buyers were
served with a free lunch invariably com-
posed of sea biscuits and Dutch cheese,
smoked salmon or herrings. The drinks
were the only things to be paid for.
Merchandise purchased had to be taken
away the same day. ’ ’
M. de Varigny was a witness in one of
these auction rooms of a very original
scene. The auctioneer, Cobb, well known
in San Francisco, had that day sold a cer-
tain number of lots of land situated hi
Stockton street. The locality was scarcely
attractive. Stockton street was buried in
sand at the back of the city; no one had
yet thought of building there. Neverthe-
less, there was a crowd, as the price to
be obtained could serve as the basis Of
valuation, and at that time every <.ne
ignored in which direction the city would
grow. Installed upon a package of
planks directly in front of the auctioneer
sat a robust miner, whose fiery visage in-
dicated that he had made frequent stops
in the bar rooms down by the harbor.
He was battling against sleep, and strug-
gled manfully, nodding his head. The
two first lots were sold for an ounce.
Suddenly, without any apparent reason,
the auctioneer knocked down the third
lot for four ounces. “Your name?” he
said, addressing the sleepy miner. The
fellow raised his head. “Tom,” “Tom
what? Tom is no name at all. ’ ’ ‘ ‘Tom
Maguire, ’ ’ said the other, a little taken
aback by this apostrophe. “All right,”
and the sale went on. Cobb, with his
eyes fixed on the miner, knocked down
to him successively five or six lots, taking
in good faith, as a bid, each nod of the
half drunken man. When the auction
was over Tom was asked to pay for his
purchases, but he protested with energy
that he had not bought anything at all.
However, as the auctioneer was firm and
the neighbors agreed, he had to put down
she money. He took from his sack the
$300 or $400 that were asked of him, and
left the shop, saying that he would never
again set foot in San Francisco, where a
drop too much had cost him so dear. He
left the same .evening for his camp at
Texas Hill. There, like all miners, he
had ups and downs, but like all miners
again he was so much in love with his
adventurous existence that he went push-
ing his way into the interior as one placer
after another gave out. Four years after
his unlucky visit to San Francisco, Ma-
guire, getting a bad fall from a horse,
was taken to the hospital of Mokelumne
Hill. Thanks to his vigorous constitu-
tion, he recovered, and was getting ready,
without a dollar in his pocket, to go back
to the mines when a young American,
whose city manners and careful dress
indicated that he was from San Fran-
cisco, came to tell him that he was
charged by one of the largest houses in
that city to find out at what price he
would be disposed to sell his lots of land
in Stockton street. Maguire no longer
remembered that he owned any land, but
the visitor told him that he had been
hunting vainly for him in the southern
mines, and now, having found him, in-
sisted on carrying him off to San Fran-
cisco, paying all the expenses of the trip.
Tom Maguire arrived in the city, and
was offered $10,000 for each of his lots.
This was not more than their full value
at that time. Maguire pocketed $60,000,
and went back to the eastern states bless-
ing his stars and loudly asserting that on
the whole there was nothing like a good
square spree from time to time to bring
luck to an honest miner.—Inter Ocean.
EQUAL AND EXACT JUSTICE.
Warning Hotel and Restaurant Custom-
ers in Regard to Food Adulteration.
The legislatures of several eastern
states, where not enough genuine cow
butter is made to supply the people on-
Thanksgiving and Christmas, have passed
laws requiring hotel and restaurant pro-
pr.e'ors to -conspicuously pest in their
dining rooms notices setting forth that
oleomargarine is served on the table in
the place of butter, whenever any substi-
tute for it is used. There seems to be no
good reason for withholding from the
patrons of these hotels and restaurants
information about the frauds that are
practiced in other kinds of foods, as well
as in drinks and condiments that are
placed on the same table with substitutes
for butter. Equal and exact justice
would seem to demand that customers be
apprised of the fact that the cheese served
is composed of the curd of slammed or
separated milk and cotton seed oil, lard or
neutral fat, and it is colored with annotto,
They should also be made aware of the
fact that the “pure Vermont maple
sugar” is made from West India sugar
cane or the “tailings” of New Or-
leans molasses; that the strained
honey is compounded of fluid
glucose, glycerine and flavoring ex-
tract; that the buckwheat cakes are
made of wheat middlings and corn meal;
that the “genuine white vinegar” is
manufactured from corn sugar, malt ex-
tract, or high wines; that the pickles are
“greened” with verdigris; that the ice
cream is compounded of skimmed milk
and corn starch and flavored with “fruit
extracts” obtained by skiOfuUy com-
bining various oils and ethers; that the
“French sardines” are baby herrings,
caught on the coast of Maine and pre-
served in cotton seed oil; that the mus-
tard is adulterated with corn meal, and
the spices with finely ground spent tan
bark.
Each coffee oup should contain a
legend which informs the person who
takes it to his lips that the beverage it
contains is an infusion of chicory, parched
barley or Canadian .peas, which passed
the custom house free of duty on the
representation that they were to be used
for seed. Each bill of fare should set
forth in years and decades the ages of
the “spring chickens” that are served, or
give the number of “settings” of eggs
that they hatched before they became too
old to be serviceable in multiplying their
species. All the jelly dishes should have
a card attached to them setting forth the
fact that their contents are mainly com-
posed of fish glue, colored with dye stuffs
and flavored with various drug store
preparations.
If the practice of adorning the walls
and tables of hotels, restaurants and
boarding houses in the way suggested
should become general, or be required by
law, the proprietors would find their
business much more profitable than it is
at present. Their patrons would eat but
little, and that little would be of the
plainest sorts of food. Few would call
for chicken pie, ask for the second cup of
coffee, or desire to have then* ice cream
dish replenished. Salt, which is very
cheap, would be almost the only condi-
ment used with food. The caster and
jelly glasses could still be used for orna-
menting the table, but they would never
require to be refilled. They would serve
the same purpose that the vessels of col-
ored liquids do that are displayed in the
windows of drug stores. It is likely that
the health of people who eat at public
tables would be greatly improved by car-
rying out the plan proposed. They would
eat corned beef and cabbage, plain roast
beef and boiled potatoes, and decline all
drinks but cold water. Living on tins
simple diet they would be well and
happy.—Chicago Times.
Curious Statistical Record.
One of the most curious statistical
records recently completed is that of Dr.
Saizmann, of Essling, in’ Wurtemberg.
Ho found, on going over the ancient
records of Essling, that in the Sixteenth
century the average duration of life
among the physicians was 36.5 years; in
the Seventeenth, 45.8; in the Eighteenth,
45.8, while at the present time the physi-
cians of Wurtemberg reach the very fa-
voi'able average of 56.7 years. It would
appear that this very great increase in
longevity was due to the disappearance
of the pest and the great diminution in
the number of typhus epidemics. The
black death or black pest of the Four-
teenth century, decimated the practi-
tioners of that epoch. Guy de Chauliac
suffered from it twice and x-ecovered;
Chaim de Vinario succumbed.—Chicago
Herald.
Happy Thought.
The 13th of last month Champoireau,
in the last stage of despair, proceeded
toward the Seine in the firm intention of
drowning himself. Suddenly, and just
as he was about to take the fatal plunge,
an idea struck him. ‘ ‘Let me see, this is
Fi'iday, and th® 13th. Never I” he said,
and started back; “it might bring me ill-
luck ! ’ ’—Charivari.
Hard to Understand.
One of the hardest things for a man to
understand is why those women who own
sealskin sacks would not be without them
for the world, and why those who don’t
wouldn’t wear one of the horrid things
for anything.1 i . -
A MONKEY’S PENCHANT FOR MIMICRY.
They Are Not Imitators by Choice—The
Popular Idea Said to Be Wrong.
It would hardly be an overestimate to
say that 999 of a 1,000 men persist in the
belief that monkeys have a passion for
imitating the actions of their two-handed
kinsmen ; that, for instance, an ape, see-
ing his master shave himself, would take
the first opportunity to get hold of a razor
and scrape or cut his own throat. Now,
how could that idea ever survive this age
of zoological gardens ? With an intelli-
gence surpassing that of the most intelli-
gent dog, a monkey combines an ultra-
mulish degree of obstinacy, and, rather
than imitate the demonstrations of the
kindest instructor, he will sham fear,
sham lameness, sham heart disease, and
generally wind up by falling down in a
sham fit of epiletic convulsions.
I have owned monkeys of at least
twenty different species, and have never
been able to discover the slightest trace
of that supposed penchant for mimicry.
A boy may take off his coat and turn a
thousand somersaults, Jacko will watch
the phenomenon only with a view to
getting his fingers into the pockets of the
unguarded coat. Lift up your hand a
hundred times, Jacko will witness the
proceeding with calm indifference, unless
a more emphatic repetition of the ma-
neuver should make him duck his head
to dodge an anticipated blow. He has
no desire to follow any human precedents
whatever, and the apparent exceptions
from that rule axe on his part wholly un-
intentional and merely a natural result
of anatomical analogies.
An angry hamadryas baboon, for in-
stance, will strike the ground with his
fist, not because any Christian visitors
have ever set him that bad example, but
because his forefathers have thus for ages
vented their wrath on the rocks of the
Nubian highlands. A capuchin monkey
will pick huckleberries with his fingers,
not in deference to civilized customs, but
because his lingers are deft and long, and
his jaws very short. Nay, that same
capuchin monkey, admitted to a seat at
the breakfast table of a punctilious fami-
ly, would be apt to show his contempt of
court by sticking his head in the pudding
dish. The compulsive methods of profes-
sional trainers may modify that perver-
sity, but during recess the redeemed four-
hander is sure to drop his mask and, un-
like a trained dog, will never volunteer
the perfoi’mance of a popular trick.—
Popular Science Monthly.
Manufacture of Buddhist Images.
A recent book on Siam contains a de-
scription of the way in which sacred
images are made for the Buddhists. In
making the larger idols, those varying
f rom one to eight feet in height and usu-
ally in a sitting posture, they first make®
model of the figure in wax. Into this
model they stick small nails a few inches
apart and projecting slightly. Then the
image is covered with a coating of fine
sand mixed with clay sufficiently wet to
be easily molded. The projecting nails
serve to prevent the coating from falling
off before it becomes hard. After it has
been dried in the sun the idol is put into
a furnace and burned, when the wax
melts, and, running out, is collected for
use another time. Melted brass is then
poured over the image and evenly
spread until the whole surface is covered
with a thin coat of the metal. A smooth-
ing and polishing process finishes the
work, and the resplendent image is ready
for the adoration of the multitude. The
small silver idols are made in a different
way. The maker baa a hard wood
model called a type. He takes common
coin silver, beats it out into a thin sheet,
and covers the model, pressing it close in
every part until it assumes the exact
shape desired. It is largest at the lower
end, which is left open that the model
may be drawn out. Melted pitch is
poured into the hollow shell of silver leaf
and then the idol is polished, usually
with fine sand.—New York Times.
Production of Floating Bricks.
Floating bricks are now successfully
produced in France, the material of
which they are composed being a kind of
earth found in Tuscany, consisting of
fifty-five parts of sandy earth, fifteen of
magnesia, fourteen of water, twelve
alumina, three lime, one iron. It ex-
hales a clay like odor, and when sprin-
kled with water throws out a light, whit-
ish smoke. It is infusible in the fire* and
though it loses about an eighth part of
its weight, its bulk is scarcely diminished.
Bricks composed of this substance, either
baked or unbaked, float in the water,
and a twentieth part of clay may be
added to their composition without tak-
ing away their property of swimming.—
San Francisco Call.
Foot Racing in Japan.
Foot racing is another amusement
which is in popular favor. In that coun-
try for several centuries whenever a noble-
man rode on horseback he was attended
by a footman, who was expected to keep
up with his master, and, as a matter of
fact, no matter how far or how fast he
rode, the footman did keep pace with
him. These footmen, from generation to
generation, developed marvelous speed
and endurance. A horse can beat them
for an hour or two, but there is no horse
that day after day can beat these profes-
sional footmen. There were thousands of
these men who did nothing but care for
the horses of the gentry and run before
them along the highways. From the
pride in the speed and endurance of these
runners came the interest in foot racing.
Race meetings were arranged, pro-
grammes issued, prizes offered, and on
the day appointed these pleasure loving
people would turn out of cities, towns and
villages in crowds to see the sport.—San
Francisco Chronicle.
’Tin a Mad 'World, My Masters.
Why do we always talk about putting
on a coat and vest? Yvho puts on a coat
before the vest? We also say shoes and
stockings. What’s the matter with us,
anyhow?—Philadelphia Call.

'VOLINA'
,CORDIAL,
President Arthur’s Meals.
President Arthur ate but two meals a
day—a very light breakfast between 9
and 10 in the morning, and a very light
dinner in the evening. His breakfast was
a cup of coffee and a cracker, with per-
haps a piece of salt fish. His dinners be-
gan between 8 and 9 in the evening, and
the guests often sat at them until mid-
night. President Arthur seldom ate
without having some invited guests at his
table. His private dinners are said to
have cost as much as $5 a plate, and his
public ones $10 a plate and upward. As
he usually had fifty persons at these state
dinners, the nine winch he gave during
the last year of his administration must
have cost at least $5,000.
It required twelve servants to serve one
of these state dinnei's. The menus oi
two successive dinners were entirely dif-
ferent, jio dish at the one being the same
as any served at the previous dinner, and
a different wine being served with every
course. His cook was a Frenchman, and
dinners were pronounced by the late Sen-
ator Anthony, who was noted as an epi-
cure, perfection.—Frank G. Carpenter in
Lippincott’s.

The Drudgery of Authorship.
Dr. Oliver Wendell Holmes is a genius
as we commonly use the word. His
writings are patterns of spontaneity and
easy composition, but they are only so in
seeming. He expends upon them the
most laborious and the minutest care.
He writes, rewrites, interlines, turns hie
sentences to catch every possible reflec-
tion of beauty, and sandpapers and
polishes his work to the last moment be-
fore giving it to the world. It is this
patient drudgery—this constant respect
for the art lie practices—that gives to his
writings their brilliancy and their rip-
pling flow.—Detroit Free Press.
Artificial Stone.
An artificial stone of excellent quality
and adapted to various constructive pur-
poses is now made by mixing in certain
proportions Portland cement, powdered
granite, blast furnace slag, and water
containing silicate of soda. The com-
position may be colored to suit the taste.

To Dream of Eggs.
“To dream of eggs,” it is said, “is a
sign that the dreamer is going to get
money.” Here is a new avenue of
wealth open to the working classes.
Many a man will stand around on the
corners complaining of hard times, in-
stead of going home and dreaming of
eggs. _
The Retort Courteous,
“Yes, Mr. Oldboy,” she simpered, “I
have seen twenty-seven springs. Would
you think it?”
“Well, yes, ma’am, I don’t know but
what I would, Mr. OJdboy said.” and I
guess some of them springs must have
been very backward.”—Harper’s Bazar.
