What a New York Chemist Saws.

Do you know how this popular fall
lacy about fish being a brain food
arose? No. 1t was in this way. All
kinds of fish deca~ quickly after death,
and, like all animal and vegetable mat
ter in this stage, throw off phosphorus.
This was noticed particularly in regard
to fish, because, as 1 said, of the rapid
ity with which it becomes putrescent.
1t was inferred from this that the fnny
tribe was rich in phosphorus, and
hence especially desirable as brain
food. AS matter of fact, they con-
tain less than most kinds of meat, and
are little richer in this substance than
some vegetables--apples, for example.

Five Exasperating Street Nuisances

In strolling along the sidewalks of
Chicago / meet with five exasperating
nuisances. The first is the window
washer. The long handle of his brush
gets between my legs, and he splashes
water all over my suit of clothes and
my newly polished boots. The second
is the festive janitor emptying his hods
of ashes into the street ash-barrel. /
always happen to be TO the windward,
walking toward him, and he makes me
look as white as a miller. The third is
the mat-beater. The mat is busted
regularly once q month by beating it
against telegraph post, whenever the
wind is high and the sidewalks crowded
with people. The fiend bangs it against
the post for half an hour, and every
time he bangs it brown cloud of ill
smelling dust blows over fifty innocent
passers-by.
The fourth is the spittoon washer.
He brings ten saloon spittoons to the
sidewalk, ranges them in line along
the curbstone, fills them with water,
stirs them up with stick, and leaves
them there half an hour to soak. Then
he empties them into the gutter, where
a brown puddle stands the rest of the
day sickening every one who beholds
it. The fifth is the fool who carries
long things, like a crowbar or joint of
gaspipe, balanced on his shoulder. The
head devil in this line is the surveyor,
or his chairman, walking the sidewalk
with his theodolite on his shoulder.
The three legs of this internal tripod
have ferules as sharp as needle, and
these are always carried in front. He
trudges along in a careless manner,
chatting with the idiot 10y his side. and
is only amused to see the people
scamper to avoid being impaled. He
ought to be hanged. Chicago Jour

Every man likes danger. Elsewhere
in Europe and in the United States the

Some Remarks About Monuments.

although Mary, the mother of
Washington, is still waiting for a monu-
ment," said Kentuckian, thanks to
the fact that she is depending on gov
ernmental action, Nancy, the mother
of Lincoln, has already secured very
handsome monument, thanks to the
munificence of an Indiana wagon
maker. His firm makes more wagons
than any other firm in the world, and
naturally he has made great deal of
money. Several thousand of his dollars
he has expended in a simple but beau
tiful shaft out in the woods near Lin
coin City, Ind, on the spot where
Nancy Lincoln was born. The old
shanty in which she was born has long
since passed away. If it were not for
the monument no one would remember
it. By the way" he said, you know,
/ suppose, that it was Senator Joe
Blackburn's father-in-law, old DR..
Graham, who died last year at the age
of one hundred, who established the
legitimacy of Abraham Lincoln in an
affidavit which is on file somewhere
in Washington. 1t was made about
the time that the monument to Lin
coins mother was erected. No one
would ever think of erecting a monu-
ment to Lincoln's father He was a
type of the low-down, no-account, poor
white trash of that povertystricken
region. / reckon he killed his first
wife by hardship and privation-not
but what he loved her in his dull, rude
way, but he was shiftless to the core,
worthless, lazy, impractical, and gen.
orally ne'er-do-well. He deceived his
second wife-who was really the only
mother Abraham Lincoln ever knew
into the belief that he was man of
parts, if not of property, or she would
not have married him. But when she
found out her mistake she never muir
INJURED nor complained. She stood right
by him to the bitter end. She brought
out the good that his own mother had
put in Abraham. She was his best
friend, and did more for him than any
one else in the world. Yet she has no
monument. Somehow the monuments
are not equally Observation-Disclosures

THE invention of the modern form OF
the piano dates back to about 100.
The spinet, of rectangular shape,
which we manage to call square, was
called virginia.. 1t is frequently
stated that it was done to compliment
Queen Elizabeth, but this cannot be
true, as it is found mentioned among
the musical instruments of King Henry
VIII. 1t is more likely that it was SO
named because it was intended to be
played by young ladies. 1t was essen
tally lady's instrument, for it is said
that at concert in Oxford, England,
the public performance of the first
male pianist was rewarded by a storm
of Kisses.

Zone of the principal articles we
sell, said a stage costumer 10 repor-
ter, "is tights. They are not only used
on the stage, but in almost every show
in the country. The demand for them
now is large"
DO they wear out easily?"
THAT depends entirely on the kind
OF show the wearer is acting In. Cir
Gus riders wear the most. It's the
rosin on the horses back that does
that. Then the wearer perspiring
makes it necessary to have them washed
every time they are used. A bareback
circus rider will wear out one or two
pair a week. They cost all the way
from 81 pair almost up to any price.
The average pair for circus people cost
So. They are plain woven tights, but
very strong. There are innumerable
varieties in material, in sly les, in colors,
! and still more in fits. The cheapest
tights are made of cotton. These are
made in all colors, flesh, white, black,
unbleached, chocolate and brown.
Then there are fine cotton tights wor-
sted tights, Lisle thread tights, French
cotton tights and silk tights"
DO you sell them ready-made or
made to order?"
"The best qualities are all made to
measure. We have the makeup or
model of a number of actors or actres-
ses, and can make them as often as
they are wanted"
what do You mean by the make-up?"
"You don't suppose the people have
the goods made to fit their true forms,
do you? Not more than one-fifth of
them have their tight-fitting clothes
made without padding. How would
premier danseuse look posing before
her audience if her costume were not
made to give her soft, rounded APP
pearance? We make padded skirts,
padded hips, padded arms, padded in
steps, padded thighs, padded legs, and
in fact padded everything. The pads
are made of fine lambs wool. When a
large ballet is being organized we have
to go into this padding business very
extensively. Some of the prettiest
girls will be slightly knock-kneed or
bow-legged. We have to straighten
them out and produce the fine Venus
like looking forms that you see on the
stages. We have artists who make a
speciality of this, and in some particular
case they make model OF. the actress,
and then perfect the model and then
make the goods up."-NelU York Mail.
