INMATES of New York city cheap
boarding houses are reported as being
somewhat disconnected over the an-
nouncement that a considerable portion
of their daily fare is made up of the
contents of hotel garbage barrels and
swill boxes. According to the state
ment of one James Lyons, he has the
contract to collect from the leading
Gotham hotels the kitchen refuse, such
rs stale bread, cut bread, and the hard
ends of lOaves, which he manufactures
into food for chickens, pigs and horses,
selling the product to farmers. He late
ly discovered that one of his drivers
was surreptitiOusly selling these defect
able odds and ends of eaSt-otf prOvender
selected from amongst the usual miscel-
laneOus assortment of kitchen refuse,
to the keepers of small boarding houses
to be used in the compromising of vari-
Gus palatable mOrsels which We're to be
fed to the unsuspecting boarders. 1t is
needless to say that the exposure in the
newspapers spoiled the appetites Of Il
good many cheap boarders in the first
city in America.
The game law in the State for deer,
wild turkey, grouse and pheasants is

THERE is q yarn going the rounds of
the press about Pittsburgh man, some
years ago loaning friend $50 to go
West on. Time went on in its uuceas-
ing march, and he gave his money up
for lost, when here, the other day, he
Unexpectedly received by express five
hundred one dollar billsand a gold brick
worth ST., 900 as interest. This is terri
BILE; it is simply talent gone to seed
Think, oh We knights of the quill, of
man connecting story like that, and
then limiting the amount to paltry
Sll 900.

THE tide Of summer travel and water
ing place recreation has now begun to
ebh, and before another Sunday shall
have rolled around there will be a per-
ceptible falling Off the crowds at the
popular resorts and in the quiet hooks
where a healthful change has been
sought by the busy workers and chronic
idlers of the cities. Already the num-
Der Of Drowned faces, bright eyes and
springing steps seen on the streets tell
that vacation Is over" for many who
are obliged 70 hasten back to their little
or big treadmills, and in the next ten
days the Increase in the number Of
those who have returned from a brief
season at the seashore or in the noun
tains will bring US to realization Of the
fact that summer Is over.
PECULIAR sight was the mass con-
vention Of sparrows which assembled at
the west end of the suspension bridge
Just after daylight on Thursday morn
ing. The telegraph wires, cables and
abutments were literally black with the
Huttering birds, and the incesSant chat
ter they kept up could be heard for
long distance. They seemed to COM
from all parts of the country for miles
around, and their number ran high up
In the thousands. The writer made an
attempt to count them, but after spend
ing half an hour at the work gave it up

resort for these birds, as they eongregats
there in large numbers once or twice in
every year.
