rather startling bit of information to the
writer.
''Nes, SIR" continued the talking newsboy,
that's Alf-Alf Shattler, and he does the
biggest trade of any boy in this city. Why
maybe you don't believe, but it's true, he
makes more money a day than any OF the
Fourth street clerks do. ALI averages six
and seven dollars day"
But he has TO work for iti'

suppose he has sold papers on that corner
Nineteen years, sir. Aft began busin SIS
abour war times. and he has never given it
up. Now he has the boss business of ali the
boys"
"A regular trade."
That's it, sir. You'll see gentlemen come
across the street at all hours, get a paper
from him without word and walk way
not offering 10 pay. Those are his regular
customers and he has hundreds of them"
Further inquiry disclosed the fact that
SIattler is nearly thirty years old. He is
married and lives in his own property on
Spring Grove avenue. Out at Milford he
owns a farm for which he has refused ten
thousand dollars. Besides this farm he o wns
O'LeI property Iedl anu personal, Oh equal
value.
Down at the corner of Fourth and Walnut
is another Dewsboy, whose familiar face has
teen a landmark at that point for ten years
past. His name is John Finn. Fourth and
Walnut is his particular field, and no other
newsboy ever attempts to invade it.
Though not so wealthy as Shattler, Johnny
can draw his check for 50 600 and have it
borOred. He has had his home at the Union
Bethel for years, where he regularly pays a
fixed sum for board and lodging.

Various trials OF the new French horse
shoe, which is made entirely OF sleeps
horn, are said to show it's particular adapt
edness for horses employed in towns, and
known not to have steady foot on the pave
meDt. The results of the experiment are
therefore regarded as very satisfactory,
horses thus shod having been driven at
rapid pace on such pavement without slip
ping. Beside this advantage, the new shoe
is spoken of as more durable, and, though
little more expensive than the ordinary
kind, seems destined soner or later to re-
place the iron shoe.
American inquisitiveness and ingenui y

blossoms of common milk weed, which has
the consistency and tenacitv of imported

valuable for sewing machine use. The weed
is common throughout this country, but

costs nothing for cultivation. and the gath
