One of the richest families of New
York laid its foundation for wealth In
the depression that followed the war
of 1872. One of the founders of the
house was i'm the millinery business
in Philadelphia. The war closed, and
there was an immense stock Of ribbons
and fancy goods on hand. Suddenly
prices took turn and went up with q
rush. The holders of the goods made
fortune, investing in uptown lots,
and the family have ranked for many
years among the millionaires OF the
city. Probably since the close or the
war of 1912, prices have not been 30
low as they are to-day. i give you
list of prices for which goods may be
obtained on the leading thoroughfares.
The prices have been obtained by ac-
tual inspection. Hats, looking very

COssack Warriors.

Near Ibraila is a large force of COssack
horse. AS the train passed, they were
playing i'm the water like frogs or
ducks, many of them swimming their
horses, the riders being in some cases
stark naked. A little further on, only
q hundred yards or SO, We're perhaps
fifty or sixty of them standing or sit
ting in the water up tn their waists,
fishing with all their clothes on. BY
this time it was drawing towards sun
set, and the moisture drawn up during
the day by the heat was beginning to
cOndense. Over the whole expanse OF
flooded fields, as far as the eye could
reach, a muddy steam sat brooding,
suggestive of fever. Even I'm the rail-
way carriages, though raised on an
embankment, the damp, warm, evil
smelling air was oppressive. Yet those
COssack warriors took no more heed
of the apparent danger than the frogs
which leapt and chirped In happy
| fellowship with them. Occasionally
| one of the Cossacks had left the water
and was enscOnsed dripping and steam
| ing OH the ball of a pollard willow, jus
as the frogs sometimes leave the watel

Pleasant Things.

A lady with little child was about
to leave one of the horse-cars on the
city railroad. A stranger standing on
the platform took the child In his
arms, carried it through the ankle-deep
mud, deposited it dry-shod OH the
paved sidewalk, and quietly resumed
his station on the platform.
A negro woman came into the same
over-full carriage. A well-dressed
young gentleman arose and gave her
his seat.
A ragged, hungry-eyed boy and girl
stood looking through shop window
at the candy and toys on Christmas
eve. A lady came by, and with smile,
q CHEEKY word, and two little silver
pieces, turned them into prince and
princess.
A gentleman dropped a stamped en-
velope. A little boy took the trouble
to pick IL up, and run round the cor
ner after him to return It.
A lady had left a package with a
ticket master at q railway station. Re-
turning for it, she found the office
closed and the man gone. The baggage
master was appealed to, and found the
ticket master on his way home to din
ner. The latter returned, opened the
Office, and delivered the package with
entire courtesy and good humor.
A lady was occupying whole seat

and breaking the pitcher and her

to comfort her, but before he reached
her three other gentlemen from three
different directions came up and gave
her more than money enough to buy

There Is o great change from the
austerity of former times regarding
the proper diet of human beings dur
ing the summer months. 1t IL now
generally recognized the food during
this period of lasitude should be nOur-
ishing in the highest degree, and, Sec
ond. should be composed In some
measure of the fruits and vegetables OF
the season. IT has been discovered that
the BODY needs not only substantial
aliment OF bread and meat, but also
that il needs food which is sometimes
meanly characterized as "them watery

when water is most felt to be n bless
ing. to cool the air, to sustain vegeta-
ton, to lave the body and TO partake
of. The great cooling process OF eyap-
Grafton all depends on a good supply
of fluids in the body, and "watery
thingsn go to supply that need. The
great danger of vegetables and fruits
Is that decay may faint them, or TOO
great age render them tough and insoi-
uble, in which case they become q
poisonous obstruction TO the digestive
system, rather than food. 49,,
