Policemen In ArmOr.

Policemen in the upper precincts OF New
York city wear waistcoats OF heavy cali
skin that protect the chest and the entire
upper part of the body. They are valua-
BILE in double sense, forming warm COW
ering as a protection against The malarial
atmosphere at night, and coat OF mail
against the stones that are used by the
gangs of petty thieves and lawbrcakers
that infest those districts. Most OF the
rascals are half-grpwn boys. who, when
pursued, take TO the vacant lots and greet
the officer with shower OF stones II he
attempts to follow them. Many policemen
have sbcesses on their bodies, the result OF
Commissions. They are difficult to heal, and
often Iinger for months as painful sores.
These leather waistcoats deaden the blows.
and will turn off 4 ball from small pistol

Latham on Great Gull island curious old
ring. made Of gold. Of antique workman

impression of bird. One OF Captain La
tham's friends. to whom he showed 1t, re-
cognized the seal as that used by Lyon
Gardiner on letters when he was COM

Worshipful Lion Gardiner " was after
ward aye Lord OF yc Isle Of Wight" now

Great Gull island Is a mystery. Captain
Latham thinks that II must have been
taken when the island was pilaged by
spanish pirates many years ago and lost
by some OF the pirates.

While nodded. nearly sleeping,

=. From the regions meath tie floor

And distinctly | remember
IL was In one wet September,
When the earth aud every member
OF creation that IL lore
Had for week, and weeks been soaking
In the mcanest. most provoking
Fogsy rains that without Joktng)
Nehad ever seen before,
so knew IL must be very
Cool and damp beneath the floor
Very cold beneath the floor.
So sat me, half way mapping.
In the sunshine, stretching, Gaping,
Craving water, but delighted
With the breeze from meath the floor,
Til found me growing colder.
And the stretching waxing boldcr,
And myself feeling Older
Older than I'd felt before;
FttI.ng that my Joints were sitter
Than thew were i'm days Of yOrc-
SITTER than they'd lecn before.
All along my back the creeping
Coolness soon was rushing, icaping,
Asif countless frozen demons
Were attempting to explore
All the cavities lihe varnints)
'Twixt me and my neither garments
lip into INV hair and downward
Through my boots into the floor;
Then found myself .s-shaking
Slight at first. but more and more
Every moment more and more.
Soon knew what twas that shook me;
Twas the ager, and II took me
Into heavy clotheS-to every
Place where there was warmth in store;
Shook Inc ill my teeth were Gathering,
TiIl the tea they brought went scattering
From the cup, while all my warming
Made me colder than before:
khook me till II had exhausted
All its powers 10 shake ine more
Had rot strength TO shake me more.
Then II rested till the morrow,
Miseu 1T came with all the horror
That II owned, or cen could borrow
Shaking harder than before:
And from that day damp and dreary.
When sat all dreamy, bleary,
lthas made diurnsl visits,
shaking, shaking, oh, so sore.
Shaking off my boots, and shaking
Me 10 bed, If nothing more
Fully this, If nothing more.
And to-day the swallows fitting
Round my cottage see me sitting
MOoiily within the sunshine,
Just inside my silent door.
Waiting for the agcr, seeming
Like man forever dreaming,
And the sunlight on me streaming
Throws no shadow on the floor,
For I'm now too thin for acer
To axe shadows on the floor
Nary shsdow-any more:
