KITES A PENNY APIEEEi
Turned out by the Thousand at Cost
Price OF $40 of q Cent:

On the roof of five-story east side
tenement last night boy was sitting
astride of the wooden frame to which
the clothes lines were attached. On a
chimney little way Off was another boy
On the peak of the little structure above
the scuttle in the roof third was posed.
A fourth leaned as far ont from the front
wall as he could without falling in the
street below. Other roofs all over that
part of the city had other boys in like
positions. All of them held strings in
their h ands, and up against the clouds
in the east hundreds of kites were wrig-
Cling and darting around like SO many
tadpolns.
Where did you get that kite ?" was
asked of The boy on the gable above the
scuttlc.
Bought it, said he,
"IIow much did it cost p
Gent Say, have you got any string?'
"The penny kitei' said dealer 'is II
iimIlc anhir, but those unfamiliar with
the business think il a marvel of cheap
ness. They are alike in size and shape
lut different in color. The kite consists
of a piece of paper and three slender
sticks. The piece of paper is from one
eigl Tia TO one-sixth of lull sheet, ream
OF which will weigh forty pounds. The
nc N 40 hn
piece for a kite costs about onesixteenth
OF q cent A foot of pine will make
sticks for sixty kites. At the market
rate for lumber they will cost about rs
much as the paper, or a little more. The
materials of the kite thus cost about one
eighth of cent. Sometimes the paper
is printed with picture of horse or
yacht or some other fancy cut. This
adds twent, five cents thousand to the
cost, but gives variety for the boys to
choose from.
The paper, cut TO the right size, is
piled on a table on one side of a girl. Two
piles ofsticks are at her other hand and a
pot of paste and brush before her. She
spreads out piece of paper and runs the
paste brush around the edge. Then two
of the longer sticks are laid on in the
form of an Y. Across the cross of the X
a shorter one is laid. Then the pasted
edges of the paper are folded over, en-
closing the ends of the sticks. The coT-
plcted kite is laid away to dry. Cost oi
labor. one-sixteenth of cent Cost of
the kite, thrce-sixteenths of a cent. Some
cost as high as three-fifths of cent, but
they sell no better than the others.
There is a fair margin of profit all
around"

The Delaware Water Gap.

Port Jarvis hi patch in New Ymk Tribune.
1t is stated that the New York and
Oswego Midland Railroad company is
taking steps toward building branch
from Wurtsboro, n. Y, through the
Noversink valley to Port Jarvis, and
thence into Pennsylvania and down
the Delaware valley TO the water gap.
The New York, Lake Erie and Western
Railroad company is looking toward an
extension in the same direction, repre-
sentatives of that line having recently
gone over the ground. The immense
summer travel which has grown up in
the Delaware valley during the past few
years is the incentive of these enter
prises. Connection will be made at the
water gap with the Delaware, Lacka.
wana and Western, the New York and
New England and the New York, Sus-
quehanna and Western railroads.

Burmese Women.
Harper's BAZAAR

The Burmese women before they be-
come mothers are noted for their we'll
proportioncd, though small figures. To
one accustomed to seeing the regular
features so prevalent among tue many
pretty Indian girls, the Mongol-like
features Of their Burmese sisters look
ugly and repellanr, but after a while tn 5
impression wears off; he women of the
country have many pretty little ways,
and they are very cleanly. Their
hands and feet are small and well shap-
ed, arms symmetrical, the head well put
on to the neck their carriage is erect
they allow no hair TO grow anywhere,
except on their heads, where il i most

of, tied up la chinoise, with II wreath OF
garlands of flowers entwincd.
A Burmese girl who wishes to kiss

Their dress consists Of tight underjack-
ct to support the bust, and a loose and
flowing Jacket over for SHOW; a gaudy
scarf hangs down over the shoulders
from the waist they wear either many

Chicago Herald.


The corpse ofa woman, middle aged and
a cripple, was laid out in the back room
on the third floor of the Mcneil build
ing, at the corner of Clark and Quincy
streets, yesterday afternoon. and two
women, sisters of the deceased. who
were engaged In robing the body for
the grave, said her death was caused
by shock or fright resulting from the
wilful attempts OF John Connolly, a
lodger in the house. to startle the other
inmates. Among the latter are num-

in feeble health for years, occupied

Connolly lodged. A nervous disorder

is alleged, Connolly never lost an oppor-

evening, while on his way to the room,
encountered Mrs. Sherman in the hall

while he blackguarded her ina shocking

the building, was awakened by the up

Connolly fled to the next floor at his ap-

The family called together its entire

When the brother and unfortunate

Virginia. She preferred going where
she was not known. At Montgomery
she adopted the name of Mrs. Aralli
Smith and secured employment in a
dressmaking establishment, it being her
intention to learn the trade as means
of livelihood, and then go west. Her
brother supplied her with money, but

IDLE YOUNG MEN.
One Explanation of the Present business
Depression.


NY Letter in Philadelphia Lrdgcr
There can be no question but that ono
leading cause of the present unsatisiac-
tory condition of general business in
this, if not in other cities, is the fact
that too many people are going about
doing nothing who have to be supported
by those who are at work. The number
of young men, especially, that are per-
sonallv unassociatcd with any useful in
dustr,, seems to be steadily on the in
crease, and what is more, there is no
prospect OF any change for the better as
long rs they persist in staying in town,
where there is no employment for them,
instead OF pushing into the country,
where. probably, no one need be idle
unless he chooses. An advertis enient
for clerk in a comr.ission house in
lower Broadway this morning, brought
some twenty-five or thirty applicants to
the door before ii was opened-and, sad
to say. this is a common experience.
Wall. Broad ard New streets also are
oycrrun with vast number of Centeel
vo,.ng men, without the capital which is
The reward of industry, who want to be
broker, in the expectation of realizing
fortunes by looking at "the tape" but
who never get beyond the barren region
of expectations. There is scarcely one
of these who would not be affronted if it
were suggested to him to go West, or to
address himself to some trade or avo-
cation nearer home, that was not already
overcrowded. This false pride must be
got rid of, or the great army of able-bod-
led non-p producers will be augmented to
a point that will seriously oppress the
more thriftv'and industrious of the COM
munity. There would be no such thing
rs dull times in a young country like this
if everybody was at work, and If there
were fewer people trying by their wits
to live off of other people, who earn
their bread by the sweat of their brow.
