Samples of Plates to Mark the Streets Put

Samples of Plates to Mark the Streets Put
on Exhibition.
Berah Heindl. former resident of Aus
tria. now stopping in thus city, is the origi-
nator of plan for marking tine streets OF a
city that presents many points of excel
lence. He has had dozen of the plates
put up. eight of them being at the corner OF
Market and Main streets. for inspection by
the members of council and citizens gener-
ally. The plates are of cast iron, very thin,
with the name Of the street and border
raised. The form now put in place as Saul-
pies are intended only for the two dividing
streets, Main and Market. On other streets,
whether the present names of streets are
retained. or any new system whatever
adopted. smaller plates are expected To he
used.
The plates are securely fastened TO the
the building. directly on the street corner,
between the first and second stories, at a
height easily seen. The ground is painted
white and the raised part of the name black,
but the popularity of the system is that the
color of the border designates the part of
the city in which the street is located. divd-
ing the city into four division. by the inter
section of Main and Market streets. The
northwest quarters Of the city have green
borders. southeast lilac, southwest yellow,
and northwest red. The colors have zen
selected with view to their adaptability
t. use in connection with electric light, and
tie paint used is intended to be the
very best, so that the plates will remain in
good shape. Whether this plan is adopted
or not remains with council to determine,
and probably the strongest argument against
it is the expense of the system, but it is
nevertheless fact that something should
be done at once.
Robbins & Myers have done the casting
of these sample plates, which is much to
their credit, as no foundry can be found to
do the work in either Cincinnati or Buffalo,
and only two in Cleveland.

At the time the assessor of the Fifth ward

and got his book, took it home, entered the
missing names in proper alphabetical order

to the end of the book, re proved the entire
work, and then returned his book to the

Among the many sights from distant
countries to bc seen in London at present
there is one of eccentric interest, especially 10
the ethnologist and the medical man; we re-
fer to the hairy family from Burmah, which
is now exhibited at the Egyptian hall. 1t is
alleged that Mr.. Barnum had endeavOred to
induce the family to leave Burrnah for exhl-
hition some time since without success. This
has been accomplished by the course Of re

In Mr.. Crawford's Embassy to the Court
of Ava" he mentions that he saw, at the Bur
meSe court, a man, 80 years old, with his
whole body. except the hands and feet covered
with straight, silky hair, which, on the spine,
was five inches in length. At birth the ears
alone were covered. Ii Is stated that at birth
hair several inches i'll length was found to be
growing from the tympanum of each ear Of
this mans daughter. There are two individ-
uals the mother, Mahphoon, daughter OF
Shway- Moung, the homo hirSutus described

An eminent physician remarks that at the
age Of 81 years the lean man usually becomes
fatter, and the fat man becomes leaner.
Again, between the yPaGs ~ and ~ his apPe-
tite fails his complexion fades and his tongue
is apt to become furred upon the least exer-
ton of body or mind. At this period his
muscles become fiabby his joints weak. his
spirits droop, and his sleep is imperfect and
unrefreshing. After suffering under these
complaints year, or perhaps two, he starts
afresh with renewed vigor, and goes on to 81
or 62, when a similar change takes place, but
with aggravated symptoms. When these
grand periods have been successfully passed
