New York Sun.

New York Sun.
"You had better get rid of that stove
pipe hat; you'll be livelier without it,"
said a powerfully built red-faced young
truck-driver the other day as he nearly
drove over del&ate-looking gentleman.
The pedestrian had to skip in an undig-
nified manner to eocape: "You want
your neck wrung badly" he said as he
gained the sidewalk, and looked after the
truck. The driver heard him and pulled
up his horses at once. "Will you wiring
it" he asked, in grutf tones. The gen.
tleman took a few seconds to consider
the question. Then he said: "No, I'll
leave that job for the hangman; but
will fiatten your nose; if that will suit
you" It appeared that the proposal
stood before the fragile-looking man.
"Now fatten my nose" he said, defiant
ly. It was done before the words we're
we'll out of his mouth; and as he lay on
his back in the gutter, the expression on
his blood-bespattered countenance was
that of pain and amazement. "What
did you strike that man for?" asked a
policeman, hurrying up, and selling the
gentleman by the arm. Because he
asked me to strike him, you know" was
the reply; "and as he looked like an hon
est, good -natured young fellow, didn't
like to disoblige him" The policeman
looked at the truckman, who rose slowly,
and without making any complaint,
mounted the seat of his wagon and drove
off. "Well," said the policeman, inn

Climbers and Their Supports.

The use of climbing plants is chiefly con
fined to yerandas and porches, and OCCASION
ally to cover an unsightly fence. They may
often be used elsewhere with pleasing effect,
and probably would be more frequent were
it not for the trouble ofproviding suitable
supports. The old style with the delicate
and beautiful cypress vine is to place pole
eight or ten feet high and run strings from
wooden pins placed in circle around it to
the top of the pole. This, when covered
with vines, makes pretty pyramid, but it
is so formal that one docs not care for more
than one in a garden. In providing sup
ports, whatever else they may be, they
should be strong. BY the end of summer
they are covered with great weight of foil
age and the winds arc apt to make wreck
of them just when the plants are at their
best. Common poles will become rotten by
the end of the summer. Iflocust can be had,
piece of this, no matter if crooked, can be
placed in the ground, and pole Of any kind
spiked to it. In some places, to make Il
partial screen, poles may be set ten feet or 50
apart, and strong cord run in fcstoons from
one to the other When such a support is
we'll covered by climbers, it is very pleasing.
For low climbers, such as the hybrid varie-
ties Of clematis, young red cedar is excel
lent This should have its branches cut to
form a pyramid, and may be used with the
bark ON. If prepared beforehand, the bark
may be removed and after the wood is sea-
soned may be painted some acknowledgement
color. Such supports will last for years, and
when covered will not have a formal appear
ance.

Some Sweet Fluids Poured Down
the Threats of Millions.

From the Providence Journal.
A great many industries start afresh
and with great impulse in the spring Of
the year. One of these is the business
Of preparing ''cooling beverages" for the
summer drinker. The bottling establish
ments are in operation the year through,
but in spring preparations made for the
the summer increase. The demand for the
lighter drinking material, if not for all. is
regulated by the weather to a great ex-
tent. If the season be hot and dry the
people will be in the same condition.
The amount Of sweetened water that is
sold under various names is simply
enormous.
Soda is water imprcgnated with car
bonic acid gas. Carbonic acid gas is
made from pulverized marble and Vitrol
mixed with the vitrol. The gas is thus
generated, and after passing through
purifiers or through water is ready to be
changed into any kind of sweetened wa
ter. A bottling MACHINE fills bottle a
second with the help Of one operator
Over the bottling table are the reservoirs
containing syrups, connected with the
bottling machine. The carbonic acid gas,
mingled with the water, is let in, the
syrup faucet is opened and in the space
of a second bottle of ginger ale, sarsa-
parilla, pop or other mixture is ready for
market.
The discovery of ginger ale gave a re-
freshing drink to millions. It is supposed
that more would be sold fthc name ale"
was not given to it. AS it is nothing
more than water sweetcned with ginger
syrup and charged with carbonic acid
gas, it has no very marked Intoxicating
or even stimulating qualities. It is the
great: s,llamer drinE-harmless, pleasant,
refreshing and healthful. The item Of
bottles is aninportant one. The bottles
cost more than the ale. Every bottle
requires washing, Of course every time it
lis emPtied. For this purpose machine
has been invented and put in operation
to take the place of hand labor. This
machine washes sixty bottles per min
ute, and does it as we'll as the most care
full hand. The saving in labor is great.
Besides the city consumption the sea-
shore trade will soon be- gin again. At
summer resorts the chief diversion of
many is drinking. Why not? The salt
air produces thirst.
