but quarter and the buyer has n chance
to get greenback with the soap. At
this point "capper," generally very
green-looking person, offers a quarter
and picks out package.
The eager gaze of the crowd follows
him, and as they see him open the tiny
package and draw therefrom a green
back their cupidity is excited, and they
fall gullihle prey to the sharpers by
investing in the soap. All that they
ever get is a piece of common washing
soap, a whole bar which can be bought
for five cents. 1t may seem strange
that other people cannot pick out prize
as well as the ''capper." This is ex-
planned by two facts. In the first place
there is no prize in the satchel, for the
packages with money which the vend-
err pretends to place in the bag go up his
sleeve or somewhere else, and second
ly, the package which the confederate
picks out is not the one exposed to the
public gaze, but one previously prepar-
ed and dexterously subtituted for the
genuine. This shallow game has run
It's full course in New York and adjac-

try their fortune here.

Thos. A SCOTS Yethods.

1t is rel ted of Col. Thomas A. Scott
that about ten years ago, when making
one of his swift trips which he was in
the habit of making over the lines under
his control, his train was stopped by the
wreck of freight train. There were
dozen heavily loaded box cars piled up
on the road, and it would take long
time to get succor from the nearest ac-
cessible point, and probably hours to
get the track cleared by mere force of
labor. He surveyed the difficulty, and
made rough calculation of the cost of
the total destruction of the freight, and
promptly made up his mind to burn
the road clear By the time the relief
train came the flames had done their
work and nothing remained but to
patch up a few injuries done to the
track so as to enable him to pursue his
WAY

An Ogdensburg paper thus speaks OF
the st. Lawrence River: "There are
certain things about the st. Lawrence
that every one ought to know. The st.
Lawrence River is not affected by fresh
cts, and there are no sudden changes
from that cause. A gale down the
lake. blowing the water into the river
for II hours, will raise the water above
the rapids from one to three feet. A
gale up the river, holding the water
back in Lake Ontario, will cause it to
lower in the river to nearly the same
extent. A gale down the river makes
it easier for a steamer to ascend the
rapids, while one up makes it harder
There are periodical rises and falls in
the st. Lawrence, extending over sew
eral years, from high to low water mark,
and vice versa. Sometimes this period
covers four or five years, and some
times ten years. About the beginning
of the past Winter extreme low water
mark was reached. Since the opening
of the river the present Spring, the
water has been rapidly rising. Up to
this writing it is about Is inches.
From the head-waters of Lake Supe-
rior to the rapids the average flow is %
miles day The waterfall during the
Winter over the sources of supply of
the St. Lawrence River has been very
heavy, hence we may expect high wat
er in July. The local effects will be
the same in high water and in low wat
er season.

A Diet of T0Othpicks
(London Telegraph

1t is rumored that Servia, fired by a
noble emulation, Is about to follow the
example recently set by Roumania to
Turkeys emancipated vassals, by pro-
noting herself to the rank of kingdom.
To what extent she is juotified, either
by her military or political achieve
ments of late years in entertaining this
ambitious project, is probably best
known to herself; but if the behavior of
her legislators at the table, as described
by an eyewitness in the columns of a
Partisan journal, may be taken as typi-
cal of the standard of culture obtaining
in the higher classes of Czillak society,
she can scarcely base her claims to adj
vancement in State dignity upon her
intimate acquaintance with those GUS
toms which soften the manners, nor
permit men to make beasts of them
selves" To a grand dinner, given the
other day at Belgrade by an august per-
sonage to some foreigners of distinct
ion, visiting the Servian Capitol, sever
al members of the Skuptschina, or ma
tional Parliament, had been invited
One of the guests, a well know French
tinancier, happened to sit next to a
Servian member of Parliament, and
was considerably diverted by his quaint
expedients for dealing with certain at
tributes of civilization obviously unfa-
miliar to him. Toward the conclusion
of the feast the Frenchman selected a
toothpick from small tray of those
useful implements lying near him, and
politely passed the receptacle on to his
neighbor, who, however, peremptorily
declined his offer, exclaiming; mo,

the accused things, and l want no

POISON IN BABY CARRIAGES.
American Oil-ClOth Makers Accused
of Being Reckless of German Bah
les Interests

les Interests.
Additional cases are reported from
Germany of the poisoning of children
through the use of American oil-cloths
The oil-cloth is used largely for cover
ing the tops of baby carriages. When
exposed to the sun the pigment with
which the cloth is painted parts with
that which is volatile in its composition
and loses with it some of the white
lead used in preparing the cloth.
The vapor thus heavily charged with
lead is inhaled by the child, and death
results from a sort OF paralysis, or, as
sometimes happens, from a disease re
sembling painters collie. Analysis of
the substance with which the cloth is
coated have revealed AZ per cent. of
metallic lead, and our manufacturers
are distinctly charged with reckless
ness"
A New York reporter says that such
goods are not manufactured for the
purpose to which the Germans put
them, and that it is carelessness for q
baby carriage manufacturer to use any
fabric for upholstering of which he does
not know the chemical composition,
He says, moreover, that the cloths
spoken of are designed to be impervi-
Gus to water, and that, in order to keep
them so and make them retain their
elasticity, a certain amount of white
lead must be used in the manufacture.
To the question as to whether similar
complaints had been made before, he
replied: Complaints have been made
both as to poisoned oil-cloths and dang
erous dyes, but to my mind accidents
arise from these sources only when
those who use the goods divert them
usually from motives or economy
from the use Tor which they were man
ufactured. Childern's carriages should
be covered and lined only with leather
or plain vanished cloths. These are
not only wholesome, but are proven
tives of contagion."

In The Guards.

For ages it has been customary for
certain families with aristocratic aspi-
rations to bring up one or two of their
sons to go into the army as officers, and
who would feel themselves degraded by
having to earn their living by any spe-
cies of commercial enterprise. To get
a son into the Guards is the height of
their ambition, no matter that he has
not the brains to acquit, himself prop
erly and may have to retire in by no
means a creditable manner. The man
who can say or write after his name
"late of the - Guards" occupies a
position quite as enviable as the per-
son who has been member Of Parlla-
ment, and is unseated after three
months for bribery, but who all the rest
of his life can pridefully say when |
was in the House" Small puffs of
this kind go for much in our social
economy On whatever grounds, the
getting Of sons as officers Into the army
becomes a sort of superstition, calcu-
lated to enlarge the sphere OF Jingoism.
1t is hard say, but, to ali appearance,
the army is in some degree an institute
for the cultivation Of idleness and con-
tempt for honest industry. We are
fortified in the remark from what has
lately been said by Sir Garnet Wolse-
ley, on the subject of military service
Hitherto our army has been a pleas
ant home fol idle men-generation af-
ter generation of officers have been at
tracted to it by the ease and pleasure
it secured to the English gentleman

by the opposite extremes of privation
and hard work which an occasional
campaign afforded Chambers Jour
