TAILOR TO THE BUMPY PEOPLE.

The tall men took a coat from the rack
mad turned it round and round slowly.
"What do you think of this?" he asked.
The caller eyed the garnieut doubtful.
ly. "I hardly know vt•liat to think," he
stud. "It seems so kind of bumpy."
, The tall man laughed. "Well," he ad.
mitted, "it is Something on •the bumpy
order. But, then, it is intended for a
bumpy man. Bumpy people are my spe-
cialty."
"Oh," reraarked the caller apologetical-
ly. "I didn't know that."
"Didn't you read my sign?" asked the
tall man. Then he led the Way out into
the street and pointed to the white let-
ters which informed passersby that a I
tailor who sewed for cripples and de-,
formed persons did business there.
• • "I didn't notice that," said the' caller.
4:0It was hidden by the learning."
"So it was," said the tall man, "but so
far as busiuess is concerned it makes lit-
tle difference whether my sign is visible
or uot, for everybody knows where to
find me. You did not know perhaps that
tie tailor business, like every other pro-
6-ssion, is gradually being divided up
into evecialties. I have taken the bumpy
people, as you call them, for my prelim
-
ler patrons. For the past five years I
have been working almost exclusively
along the bumpy line, and now fully two-
thirds of my customers are people trou-
bled with some physical imperfection.
which they want concealed or,. where
that is impossible, reduced to a minimum
by their clothes.
"It stands to reason that it Is a difficult
thing to give a deformed man a good fit.
It might seem tit the casual observer that
any tailor who cell turn out a well fitting
suit a clothes for a sound, upright man
ought to be able to do proportionately
good work for a tripple, but this theory
does not hold water in practice. I know
scores of tailors up town who do first
class work when Sewing for their own
trade, but as soon as they entrirtge on
my specialty they make a botch of every-
thing they lay their, hands on. Their in-
competency in that line is due chiefly to
the tendency to give attention to the
whimsical notions and suggestions of
patrons. •
"As a rule, a man whose physique
out of kelter is very sensitve in regard tor
his shortcomings. He naturally wants
the defect minimized to the greatest pos;
sible degree, and he has a grist of ideas
which would, , he believes, tend to im-
prove his appearance. The tailor who
has not learned from experience the cut
best adapted to various deformities is
apt to be guided by the most plausible
of these suggestions, and the result is
general dissatisfaction to ell ,concerned.
"As for myself, having studied thie
branch of the trade for so many year, I
consider that I am competent to fit the
worst case of crooked limbs or bad back
an record, and, while I listen patiently to
directions and apparently defer to the
wishes a my customers, in reality I fol-
low my own °judgment, and the cense-
,quence is I am troubled by fewer kickers
than any other tailor of myaequaint-
ance. I am quite Proud of my reputa-
tion too. There are hosts of these bumpy
people in town, and it is high time some-
body was thaking a speeiai
anatomy."'

"For a shave."

There are many superstitions about the
egg. In Scotland and Ireland children
are taught ,by their nurses to crush the
shell after eating an egg or to push the
spoon through the bottom in the form et
a cross, showing a lingering relic of the
once general superstitious belief that
witches lived in eggshells and made boata
of them, casting spells upon the house-

MAKING SAUERKRAUT.
The German NIethodi Closely.jeQi
lowed In This Country.• .
The United States vIce 'Consul at Mag -
debug, Germany, in an official
eunimnul-
tution, says that efforts to ascertain how
sauerkraut was manufactured there weth
linstieeessful, because the concerns whore.
•he asked for informatiou look uPoli their
process as a valnahle business secret
which is their chief stock in trade, mad
then he gives, as near as he could ascot,
tam, the process of menufacturing this
popular Gerinan food artiCle:
"Take a number of.heads a 'White cab-
bage, as fresh as possible, and cut them
bito fine, long shreds. Place in layers in,
oarrels or kegs, strewing salt over each
layer, using one-half poundof salt for
each 25 cabbages. Press the mass •down
with clean feet, wooden shoes or a heavy
'stamper. Place a cover on the barrel,
and upon this lay a heavy • stone. This
. presses the sauerkraut more and con-
serves it better. The sauerkraut must
then be allowed to ferment in a cellar for
from three to eight days, according to the
temperature of the robin. The • barrel
should then be tightly closed and kept in
a cool piece, preferablyan a cellar: .
"Fancy grades are produced bypouring
white .wine into .the barrels after they
are filled,. and apples, chopped very 'fine,
are also sometimes 'mixed, with the cab-
bage." •
A local dealer' who sells large quantities
of sauerkraut says that the process as de-
seribed is correct, except the. bare 'feet
part. That is an old. fable 'that had its'
origin. ort the minstrel stage, where it
took well. • • - .

A Game With thipoleon In 'Which the
Great Ensperor Wsie Sadly Snub-.
bed., -,How it Wan Operated and ow
the Secret Was Discovered,
On July 5, 1854, it fire broke out in the
•old National theater, which soon extend-
ed to the Chinese meseum, separated
from it only by a uarrow alley. In the
destruction of the museum was lost the
most fatuous automaton the world had
ever known, and yet the fact passed un-
noticed in the Philadelphia newspapers
of that day. ' The automaton chess play-
er, like many of his human antagonists,
had outlived his day and for several •
years hail; occupied a recess in it small
mem in a part of the building- but little
frequented by visitors, •
This famous nut:m.00a was construct-
ed 'at Vienna in 1700 by WOlfung, baron
von Kempelen, it man of extraordinary
mechanical ability-, a good naturalist and
an artist.
The automaton consisted of a chest,
upon which was seated the figure of a
Turk. • The chest was 31/2 feet long, 2
feet broad and 21,,a feet high, placed • on
Casters, which enabled the .exhibitor to
naive it •from one part of an apartment
to another. The object of 'this arrange-
ment was to show the spectators that no
trapdoor communicated with the chest..
The bat arm of the Turk was hollow,
and through it ran a wire. which commu-
nicated with the interior of the chest,
where,' by means of a leeer, the operator
concealed within It. was 'enabled to, give
every desired motion to. the arm. hand
• and fingers of the tigure.
When the doors of the automate:1 'had.
been closed, the operator began to make
his arrangerneets for' he game. This he
did by swinging the whole furniture of
the Inter* of the chest --:mock wheels,
machinery, etc. -against the outer dors
and walls of the box, so as to throw all
the • subdieided • Compartment into . one
apartment. 13.y this means he bed room
enough to seat himself comfortably be. •
fore ;the chessboard on, which he. played.
The moves of the adversary of the Turk,
when made on the hoard before the figure,
were . communicated to the occupant of
-:.the-ehest- by 'means • of .wires connected .
with a number of disks •insertedin the
top of the apartment, and as soon as any
one of the pieces on the Turk's hoard was
touched the' fact was corninunicated by

1800 Maelzel 'was occupying some Portion
of...the palace of Schonbruu, when. Na-
poleon made it his Iteadquarters after the
battle of Wagratir. It was there that,
the automaton played with the emperor
the now hiStorie game df chess, • Na-
poleon, who was a poor player, quickly
Lost the genie, •-fte then .clatalenged the
automaton to a second encounter. In the
course, of •the, game he purposely made
a false inove.' The Turk bowed gravely
and replaced the pieee on its proper
square. A few seconds later the em-
• peror repeated his maneuver and with a
shnilar result, Ent When the thing oc-
curred for the third tine the autoniaten
'wept tbe whole of the chessmen off the
board. : Allgaier; the Inventor of the
gambit named after him, is believed to
have been the player who bad the tenieri-
ty to indict so merited a rebuke upon
the "victor of 8 hundred battles." —
About two years later Eugene Beau-
- hart:leis, then viceroy of Italy, witnessed
an exhibition of the automaton at Milan.
His :curiosity was so great that •he
• bought of Maelzel both the automaton
and the secret of his modernism for 80,-
000 francs. The prince, however, soon
tired of his purchase, and the Turk, rele-
gated to a lumber room, passed the next
• four or five yearsin inglorious .gecluelon.
In 1817 Maelzef bought back the au-
tOnaaton et the seine price Prince Flu-
-gene gave for it. After exhibiting the
Turk for several years in England and on
.,the...continent Maelzel sailed from Havre
fer New Ybelilri DeCeirlher,-1825. Here
the -automaton defeated the most skillful
American amateurs and became the Sen-
• sation of the day. During the tear .of
.the Turk through the United States ate
drew great crowds, and the pockets of
hiS owner became well filled.
But la Baltimore, by a curious acci-
dent, .a 'discovery was made of the fact
• that some ohe was concealed in the au-
tomaton. The affair happened In this
wise: One day two lads mounted on the
roof et -a shed demanding a View of
, the room to which the Turk retired after
the exhibitiou was over. On this ocea-
• don Maelzel, as soon as the audience
had dispersed, rolled the automaton be.
: hind the curtain. Intent only on reliev-
• ing his ally from his Irksome confine-
ment 141ttelzel stepped to the 'window,
threw the shutters wide open and then
returning to the automaton lifted the
top of the chest. Prom this hiding place
there emerged, In full sight of the bOys,
a man in his shirt sleeves. And so a
secret that had baffled all Europe for
nearly a century was tat last Made Public
