STREET CARS IN CLEVELAND.
The Pleasures of Riding on the Johnson Lines
There-Where the Money Comes From.

81 have just returned from Cleveland" said q
Washington street merchant II rode on the
Tom johnson line of street cars up there
Anything like the Indianapolis street-car
system in ease, elegance and comsortl" inquired
a listener.
''Not muchl" was the answer, with significant
emphasis. II couldn't help make comparison
with the lines here. Cleveland is proverbial
for her excellent street-car accommodations,
but the johnson line, the newest there, excels
all others in the completeness of its appoint
ments. Hundreds upon hundreds of people go
daily and take ride on the johnson line for
the mere enjoyment of the ride in their fine
pavilion cars, riding nine miles for 5 cents
There are no bobtail cars the line. and instead
of mules they have frst-class horses to draw
them"
"Any conductorsr
''Of course, and conductors and drivers are in
uniform. The johnson line there was the first
to connect the west side of Cleveland with the
main city, and to run cars straight through It
is two years since the line was extended out
Scoville avenue to Wilson avenue. Mr.. John
son has paved the streets along both sides of his
track without any cost to the property holders
It's SO different from the way the street car
company does here. Here they wear out
our streets, leaving great gullies in their
tracks, and refuse to do anything toward paying
for new streets. Tom johnson is, as he deserves
to be, the most popular man in Cleveland When
he began to give them their beautiful cars and
smooth track the Cleveland folks thought that
Mr.. William H. English and perhaps some other
Indianapolis capitalists, were furnishing the
money They ought to know, and probably do
now, that the money doesn't come from capital
lists at ALL but is made off the lines here nv the
closest economy. Our citizens ought not to rail
out against the street-car system hers, as by our
enforced self-denia in the way of street-car com
forts we have been able to give to Cleveland q
line that is of the finest in the United States
It may be, if we are patient and ong-suffering.
that in the course of few years we may give
Cleveland two or three more frstclass lines of
street-railway."

The Arrogant Potato peddler.

Three potato peddlers named George E. New
port. Edward Clay and John Parker were rails
ing disturbance by yelling and insulting peo-
pie, on North Delaware street, last evening,
when they were placed under arrest by Patrol
man Schwab. He was taking them to the
station-house when the party was met
by a wagon containing three other
potato peddlers These last, seeing
their fellows under arrest, ordered
Schwab to release them, which hc naturally re-
fused to do. upon which they got off the wagon
and started to release them by force and to ''do
up" the patrolman. Schwab drew his revolver
and ordered them to stop. The argument was
convincing, and when the boys at the fire head
quarters came to Sch wab's relief, they got back
on their wagon and left. The three prisoners
were slated for disturbing the peace, and the ad-
ditional charge of interfering With an officer was
put against Parker

Suing for a Child.

The habeas corpus petition of Nancy Kemp
was partially tried yesterday before Judge Tay-
Tor. She wants possession of her child Annie
Taylor, whom she gave to Andrew and Kissie
Berry when the girl was fifteen months old
since then Mrs. Kemp has remarked and would
like to have Annie with her. The Berrys showed
that the mother at one time refused to receive
her daughter when they offered to return her.
Judge Taylor asked for further testimony as to
the mothers ability to care for Annie. and he
would also like to know whether Mr. Kemp is
willing to have her in his home Further hear
ing win be had to-day.

A Few

Perhaps the formulation''of a few popu-
lar fallacics may not be without interest
to our readers at this time, even if they
be i%ndisposed to accept the statements
without some qualification. It is a fall
lacy to suppose:
That alcoholic drinks support physi-
cal strength during excessively hot
weather.
That men and women should eat the
same kind and amount of food when
their name of life is entirely different.
That pic is really indigestible, or, in
general, that the quality of indigesti-
bility can be logically affirmed of any
article of food absolutely and apart from
the consideration of the digestive ca
pacity of the particular stomach the pow
crs of which are to be tested.
That disease, in any given case, con-
sists simply in the group of symptoms
complained of by the patient. or morbid
signs detected by the physician.
That all morbid processes are necessa-
rily destructive in their nature, and are
never conservative. Disease in certain
cases may be natures method of right
ing q wrong or overcoming the effects of
some disturbing agent. a certain por-
ton of the clinical picture of a disease
is therefore made up of evidences of re-
action as we'll rs Of direct morbid action.
That, in the production of cholera in
iantum, the elevation of the atmospheric
temperature plays the most important
or furnishes the principal Indication for
rcatmcnt.
That a person is we'll who feels well,
and that sickness consists in feeling sick.
That specifics con be said to exist in
modern medicine.
That the actual number of years of a
mans life bears any direct relation to the
conditions of the physical frame known
as senile degeneration.
That the conditions of modern life in
our highest civilization arc most favora-
BILE for the development of a large,
healthyand vigorous population.
That there are such things as claws OF
health. "--P&ilaae, phiu Medical Times.

H HOME DOCTOR.

If the feet arc tender and painful after
long standing or walking, great relief
may be obtained by bathing them in warm
salt and water. A large handful of salt
to a gallon of water as warm as can be
borne is the proper proportion. The feet
should be immersed and the water thrown
over them with the hand and also over
the legs as far as the knees. When the
water becomes too cool, dry the feet and
legs, rubbing with q rough towel upward.
Neuralgia of the feet has been cured by
perseverance in this method night and
morning. Mrs. T., who knows of the
efficacy of the fo.~ s,oing, writes that per-
sons with weak lungs or bronchia, as
we'll as weak throats, are wonderfully
benefited by gargling every morning with
strong salt and water.

Harry McCabe, child of Henry and

Harry McCabe, child of Henry and
Hattie McCabe, resident New Workers,
was given. ten years ago, by his mother
to o circus performer after her husband
had deserted her. They were afterward
reunited, and, searching for the little
fellow, only four years old, discovered
that he was being trained in a circus
company in California and cruelty
treated. The machinery of the law was
put in motion, and he was finally res
cued from his unnatural guardians and
returned here. But his parents having
once abandoned him, he was not sur
rendered to them, but to the keeping of
the President of the Society for the Pre-
v~ention of Cruelty to Children. The
late Edward D. G. kittredge, a rich New
York lawyer, became interested in the

Terrific Encounter With a Snake.

The reptile, when he saw he was dis.
covered, lifted his scaly head above tho
grass an instant to lay his course, and with
fire sparkling from his wicked eyes came
straight toward us. When he was within
n few yards, however, a we'll directed
shot from q revolver and q shower of
stones turned him aside, a little. AS he
paused, with the evident intention of re-
newing his charge, I fired another shot,
my last cartridge, and grasping the club
with both hands, determined to sell my
life dearly. AS he came on again, I
struck at the monster twice, missing him
both times, but turning him back. As
he fled crashing through the underbrush,
his hideous figure cleaning in terrible
undulations, I was after him. He shot
out of the woods, however, and swept
into the road far in advance of me. Less
than ten feet away from him a little girl
was picking berries at the road side, un-
conscious Of her danger. I shouted to
her with all my strength, calling upon
her to fly, and screamed: THE snakel
The snake!' The child saw the scaly
monster, and heading him off as he
crossed the road, put her bare foot upon
him and killed him with a switch she
broke from a bush near by. She her
went on picking raspberries while I
measured the snake. He was nearly seven
inches long, but you need not say any
thing about h at.-Bmrdette, IN Brooklyn

Doctorinu the Maoris.

I was told that q real medical mis-
~siorary would be likely to do an immense
deal of good in New Zealand, on account
of the great fancy the Maoris have for
being doctorcd. They do not mind pain.
If you give them one mustard plaster
they are not contcnted; they must have
one on every part that feels uncomfort-
able, and have been seen with as many
as five or six on at once. They are par
ticularly fond of having their teeth
drawn; that is their delight; and when a
tooth is out they take it outside the
house, and get a stone, and hammer away
till it is reduced to powder. They
quite enjoy this revenge upon their old
enemy.
81 want you to pull out this TOOTH" q
Maori said one day to Mr.. Taylor.
"There is nothing the matter with it.
eyes, there is; it gives me great
pain"
ut is not your tooth gives you pain,
it is something else"
"But it is my tooth, and you must take
it out. suppose you tell me You won't
because you can't"
And he roared so loud to show how
bad the pain was, and got altogether so
excited, that at last the missionary agreed
to take the tooth out on the full under
standing that it was done simply to
please the patient.
There" he said afterward, 'syou see
it is as I said; there is nothing at all the
matter with it,"
Then why did you touch it," asked
the tiresome invalid. "You say it is
quite good, and yet you took it out. Put
it in again"
What was the good of reasoning with
the MANI "Open your mouth, said the
missionary, land I'll see what I can do"
And, strange to say, the tooth vent back
into its place. and does not seem to have
given its owner any further trouble, while
the missionary gained great credit with
the natives for being able, not only to
take teeth out, but to put them back
again! But it is little wonder that when
the man turned round and said: 'Now,
then, take out this other one; it must be
this one huats me-" the request was
steadily refused.-"Glimpses Of Maori

How to Swim.

In nine cases out of ten, Mr.. Surd-
strom says, n boy who wants to make q
iirst-c!ass and scientific swimmer should
begin by forgetting what he already
knows, so as to learn over again in the
right way. The first thing to master is
he breast stroke. That is the stroke
which frogs use, and always have used,
and it seems to be the natural wa of
swimming. Initiate 4 frog as closely as
yon caA, ard you will need no better
teacher. But a frogs legs and feet form
one straight line. and his fingers arc fas-
tened tcgsti'er so as to form q very fine
paddle. Hold your fingers close together
when you strike out so rs to initiate the
webbed feet of a duck; and when you
draw up your legs for a fresh kick, be
careful to s%traightcn out your feet, so as to
avoid the resistance of the water against
your insteps. In kicking out, strike the
soles of your feet against the water, rs
though you were pushing yourself up in
bed. Spread your legs far apart as you
kick, and then, when they are fully ex-
tended, comes an important point in
swimming. Do not jerk them up for
another kick, as ignorant swimmers
do, bat draw them tight together.
as though your legs were a pair of
shears with which YOU wanted to cut
the water. BY thus closing your
legs on the water you will add almost as
much to your speed as by the first kick.
Kick out as your arms arc being ex-
tended for a stroke, and draw up your
legs while making The stroke. That is
the moment at which 20 get your breath,
rs the water is hes smooth in front Of
you, and less apt to get into your mouth.
1t is well to accustom yourself to breathe
only at every third stroke, as it will help
you very much in rough water. It is i'm
portant to draw tho breath in quickly,
and so breathing through the mouth,
which ought not to be practiced in other
exercises, is good in swirming.-Har-

This is to show that the liquor is not

Vcncration is still another fine quality.
The Jew always honors and respects his
parents and the parents struggle for the
welfare Of their offspring. In this respect
no race on the earth surpasscs them.
Many an old fellow going about driving

German Jew can in three years, and nc

marks the speech Of the latter. In Hes
ter and Ludlow streets there are book
sellers who sell Hebrew books. Hebrew
is the language Of the Polish Jew.
Among these books is a grammar fox
those desiring to master the English
tongue. 1t is different from other gram
mars of n like nature, In that the English
words representing the Hebrew are
written in the Hebrew alphabet. From
it the student may gain the pronunciation
and meaning of a word, but that is all.

never seen in the streets as a public beg
gar, he is nevertheless addicted to the
practice. The Hebrew relief societies
furnish many instances of this. One old
woman applied to one of these for aid,
and after receiving money and house
hold supplies, returned for more. Upon
being denied, she replied: "Well, you
may not choose to aid me, but I'll send
my four children up here to be fed" Many
of the Poles take advantage of the ben
evidence Of the rich Jews. in order that
they may save money. The charity be-
slowed upon them enables them to roll
! up a neat bank account, md so long as it
does not come from actual begging they
are satisfied. But even at begging they
! will not hesitate, under certain circum-
, stances. 1t is the custom of all classes
of Jews in this city upon certain days to
visit the Cypress Hills Cemetery and pay
honor to their dead; upon such occasions
the Poles turn out in force as beggars.
Upon August 10, the date of the de-
struction of Jerusalem, anybody who is
curious on the subject may ascertain for
himself, for then ali the Jews pay re-

century we find the printers of Lyons
and Rouen Stimulating princcps editions
of Racine and Moliere. The type, the
paper, the colophons, all being re-
produced with INSCRIPTIONS accuracy,
and then palmed off as genuine

of the Pcntateuch are fresh in the recol-
lection of our readers. They were offered
Ct the moderate price of 81, GOO, 900 stcr-
ling. So also the famous vernis Martin
can still be bought at Paris, very like, but
still not genuine; and clever painters,
whose work IS as good as Lancrets, can
be found TO figure as Watteaus with no
mean success. But at present the secret
of the real Martin vernis remains as i'm
