How They Spend Their Money.

Joe Howard writes from New York to
the Philadelphia Times: In q con.
spicuous window on Broadway stands q
table covered with blue satin. In its
drawers are candies. Price, $3.50. The
wood cost perhaps 81, the satin S5, the
work in time and skill $40; total SIG.
Profit, S234-when sold. / don't be-
lieve any idiot in the world can equal a
New York idiot. Once started he beats
the deck. For the fun Of the thing 1
watched the shoppers in great iewelry
store one evening. I was amazed.
Clocks, with side vases, ranging in
price from $500 to $4,000, were easily
sold. Pins for scarf or shirt, costing
from $40 to $3.50, we're in great de-
mand. But gold watches carried off the
honors, and the demand for American
| makes was noticeable. The larger es-
| tablishments have, ttsmsled to the
| fashionable craze for American watches.
They import Swiss works, put them in
| American cases, stamp their own name
on them and sell them at fabulous rates.

me to-day that at recent sale he dis
posed of over twenty old-time seals,
with crests, initials and coats of-arms,
at prices that astonished him. Every
thing in that line is eagerly caught up,
put in shape and quickly sold.
What next?
Well, what next? If the men keep
pace with the women it can't be very
long before knee breeches, SILVER buckles
and bag wigs are in fashion. The
quaintest kind of ornament is now the
style. Everybody has to have an old
fashioned clock, you know, and there
is already factory in Connecticut where
they are turned out by the hundreds,
with rusted chains and five-pound
weights, and cases cracked as if with
age. In all the great depots of treas
ure these clocks abound. Generally
they have high mahogany cases, some
with ornamental tigurings, others per
fectly plain. Some give the day of the
month and the week, signs of the
moon and evening star, and mytholog
ical data as we'll. The works are a.

WasherwOmen ON a Strike.

The Paris correspondent Of the Bcs-
ton JOaernaL writes Paris has been in
distress over the strike of the washer
women of Arcueil- -Cachan. This is a
more serious matter than may at first be
thought. The women, several hundred
in number, announced their intention
of never washing another shirt or
napkin until their daily pay had been
raised from two francs and a quarter
(forty-five cents) to three francs (sixty
cents), and said that all the other men,
bers of their profession would soon fol-
low their example. There are no less
than 5000 washerwomen in the i'm
mediate neighborhood of Paris. Nearly
all the washing of the great city falls
into their hands. For the moment a
compromise has been made, but the
women say that they will carry out
their original plan, and are holding
meetings every week. A suspension OF
their humble functions for fortnight
would leave the city in a rather un.
pleasant predicament, for there is not
one family in ten that does its own
washing. All the restaurants, hotels,
ETC., send their linen into the country.

Of eight days,

Laws of Digestion.

The Sanitary Record gives the folio W.
ng laws relative to digestion:
l. Food for the supply of the daily
wants Of the system is msst rapidly and
thoroughly digested when taken carly
in the day, ere the nervous and secre-
tive forces are exhausted by toll.
Q. Rapid digestion in the early part
of the day contributes to the immedl.
ate demands of motion and ennerva-
tion.
3. Food for the repair OF the contin-
uous wear and tear of the tissues is in
less immediate request; the complete
ness of its solution is of more import.
ance than the rapidity, and it is best
taken toward the evening, when an OPP
portunity is offered for its leisurely alb
sorption during sleep.
4. The duration of digestion bears q
proportion to the quantity Of food
eaten.
5. In youth the digestion is quicker
and the stomach sooner emptied thar
in grown-up persons.
6. Rest before meals makes digestion
more complete. Exertion Immediately
before meals retards digestion, and ex
ertion Immediately afterward derange.

7. Sleep retards digestion, but make.
it more complete.

Q. Earnest preoccupation Of mind

He PlIIei the Tooth.

A Hartford Conn dentist discovered
that one of his patients, a six-footer,
was a mad man. As he approached
with his forceps the lunatic raised up
in the chair, and, with ferocious glare
in his savage eyes, looking straight at
the doctor, said: ''Be quick, and if you
don't pull it the first time I'll throw
you out of the window" The young
dentist quickly made up his mind to
risk it. The tooth must come, and
come the first time. Among the stock
of forceps was one Dig. strong pair
which had been discarded on account
of their clumsy shape. The doctor Sc
lected this pair, and thinking of the
unpleasant nature OF certain promised
fall, he reached for that tooth, and,
with grip that desperation made sure,
he snaked out that molar in a jiffy.
The lunatic sprang from the chair, and,
with the blood trickling from bis mouth,
began musical march up and down
the room, striking up the cid
familiar song: "Oh, it will be Joy
ful. oh, it will be joyful, when we meet
to part no more" He kept up this
march for about five minutes, and then
dashed out of the door and downstairs,
still singing his joytal song,

A Desperate Fight With Conyicts.

At Graham, Texas, the three Nc
Donald boys, the murderers OF man
named Martin, made desperate effort
to escape from Jail, which resulted in
their death and the death of deputy
sheriff, besides the serious wounding Of
several other people. About 10 o'clock
in the morning the Mcdonald boys
were led from the steel cage to the
calaboose, and with Jim Boone and
Jack Baldwin, the two other prisoners,
were given their breakfast by two depu-
ties. One deputy was testing the cage
while it was empty, and the other
deputy, Davis Melton, stood in the
doorway of q wooden cell Opening from
the calaboose to the steel cage. He
had q pistol in each hand, keeping
watch, and presently put both revolyers
in one hand to get match from his
pocket, when the McDonalds sprang
! upon him suddenly and disarmed him
In the struggle Melton was shot in
the right hand. His cries brought
Murfee, the other deputy, from the
cage, but on entering the calaboose he
was shot and instantly killed by the
prisoners. The prisoners then made o
HOlo tuTOuSu tuS hoOI W tuo IOOiu De-
low and, taking Mellon with them, be.
gan their escape. A bloodhound
watches the Jail, but by detour they
avoided him and took their flight in a
sou herly direction. By this time the
whole city was excited, I'd the citizens
had gathered all together and followed
the fleeing prisoners. The latter placed
their hostage, Melton, behind them,
and threatened to shoot him dead if
they were nred on. Thus the murder
ers proceeded some 300 yards, when
one citizen deliberately took aim and
firing nortally wounded one of the
fugitives, who fell. Deputy Melton
seized the opportunity, broke loose,
and ran. A general fusilade was now
exchanged between the citizens and the
escaping prisoners. The latter en-
trenched themselves in the weeds
and stumps, and the battle ragged for
some time. When the shooting ceased
the three McDonalds were dead, Mel
ton was shot three times, an old man
named Wood wounded in the thigh,
and waiter named Joy had bone OF
bis leg shattered. Baldwin and Boone
took no part in the shooting and were
recaptured. Graham was a scene OF
terrible excitement during the bloody
affray.

A Gray Day.

Forth from sky of windless gray
Pours down the soft, persistent rain,
And she for whom sigh in vain,
Who makes my bliss, now makes nv pain.
Being far from me this autumn day
So far away.
Upon the waters void and gray
No floating sail appears in sight
The dull rain and the humid light
No wind has any heart to spite,
This dreary, weary autumn day,
With love away.
Where she is may skies not be gray,
But sunlight fill the vital air
All, were she here. or were there,
Skies might be dull, or might be fair,
And not heed, 80 she this day
Were not away.
No gull wings out 'twixt gray and gray
All gray, as far as ego can reach;
The sea too listless seems for speech,
And vaguely irets upon the beach,
AS knowing she this autumn day
Is far away.
All, like that sea my life looks gray
Like forgotten land it lies,
With no light on it from her eyes,
Lovely and changeful as those skies
Meath which she walks this autumn day
So far away.
But they shall pass these skies Of gray,
And she for whom 1 sigh in vain,
Shall turn my gray to gold again,
Being not, as now, that future day,
So far away.
Philip Bourke Marston.
