right tried several experiments, and ia
the midst Of one OF them, which promised
10 prove a success, came near being
run over by hack, having got
into cross street without observ-
ing Il. BY steering over to the east side
~ Broadway and keeping in the least
lhronged places on the walk ] managed
20 beat down town under full sail, bat
coming back took 30 q street car. In
the car turned my umbrella handle down,
as found the water ran out Of II more
readily that way. Said an old lady
fine, notwithstanding woman-said she:
" Sir, why do you hold your umbrella In
that way" '' Because, madam" said /,
" the umbrella drains off better in that
position How very Ingenious said
the old lady Yes, " said /, % II you want
your umbrella 10 Drain on rapidly, turn
The butt end down" Il shall remember
this" said the old lady, drawing her dress
out of the puddle ofwater now perceived
was beginning 10 form in the bottom OF
the car, Now, here was an old lady who
had probably been used 10 umbrellas all
her life, taking IA lesson about them from
person hsiling from a land where such
thing is not seen ! felt proud Of ii, but
as saw that little too much water was
escaping into the bottom Of the car /
turned my umbrella small end down,
after which we--myself and the old lady
rode along In silence all the way 30
Amity street, where / effected land
ing" IL is not safe to jump off a street
car while II Is still in tolerably rapid mo-
ton. Since my arrival here have been
out 10 the park two or three times prae-
tjcing with my umbrella, and ] now
handle II with the grace OF a native or a
Chinaman.
