Two young men who spend the day

to hard pan on their uppers. so to
speak One of them went TO the pro-
prietor of a mems furnishing house on
Chestnut street and told him that for
so much a week he would guarantee to
attract more attention to his window
than all the displays that could be laid
out. The proprietor was struck with
the idea and gave it trial As con-
sequence there was a crowd at his win
dow nearly all the time. The young
man would walk up to the window with
his friend and stand gazing there until
n crowd of dozen or fifteen were
standing with tsem. To keep the
crowd moving he would walk awav.
and that started the break in the
crowd. The performance was repeated
every ten or fifteen minutes The
young man went to other stores along
the street, unfolded his plan and
pointed out the success of it. In
short time he had the whole street from
Ninth to Broad on his beat, and he had
to take his friend into partnership, and
he makes plenty of money.

The Laws of Heredity.

A certain man had, during his entire LIFE
time, gratified his every passion, and died
with an oath on his lips and scorn of de-
cency in his heart He left three sons. In
spite of their mothers prayers and tears,
each son followed his fathers blighting ex-
ample. Like their father, at no period in
their lives did they ever show the slightest
desire to reform So reckless were they that
not one of the three lived to be twenty five
years old. Two of the brothers died unmar-
ried The third had a good wife, but did
not live to see his son, who was born month
or two after his death.
Every care was taken to surround this child
with good influences He knew nothing of
the dissipation Of his grandfather, father and
fathers brothers. They were dead. His
mother never spoke of them.
AS lad he was brutal and vicious in tbs
extreme. 81 don't want to be good!" was
his favorite expression, if taken to task for
boyish misdeed.
Before he was IL years old he had run away
from home eight times, to associate with
children of the gutter He is now 21' He is
a drunkard, a thief-for he stole jewelry
from his mother to pawn-and a diSsolute
reprobate.
He declares that if he knew of any vice
into which he has not plunged, he would
straightway test It, He has broken his
mothers heart With the utmost compla-
cency he is watching her die of grief for his
depravity Nothing affects him. He is as
Indifferent to punishment as he is to tender
ness If he lives ten years longer, he will
reach the gallows. Philadelphia News.

The Famous Cashmere Gate.

Near my hotel is the famous Cashmere
Gate-world-famed in connection with the
brilliant exploit Of tie little forlorn hops
that on the morning Of Sept. Il, 1857,
succeeded, in the face of a deadly fusilade
from the walls and the wicket gates, in car
rying bags Of g1lnpowder and blowing il up.
Through the opening thus effected poured
the eager troops that rescued the city from
ten times their own number of mutineers, and
turned the beams Of the scale in which the
fate of the whole British-lndian empire was
at the moment balanced. Perhaps in all the
worlds battles, no more heroic achievement
was ever attempted or carried out than the
blowing up Of the Cashmere Gate "Salkeld
laid his bags of powder, in the face Of a
deadly fire from the open wicket not ten feet
distant; he was instantly shot through the
arm and leg and fell back on the bridge,
handing the port fire to Sergeant Burgess,
bidding him light the fuse. Burgess was in
stantly shot dead in the attempt Sergeant
Carmichael then advanced, took up the port
fire and succeeded in firing the fuse, but i'm
mediately fell, MORALLY wounded. Sergeant
Smith, seeing him fall, advanced at a run,
but finding that the fuse was already burn

Oranges All the Way from Italy,


cit is wonderful how the Mediterranean
orange trade has developed within the past
ten years" said west side importer to a
reporter the other day
why, ! remember the time when we
never used to get an orange from Italy after
the 4th of July until the spring trade opened
again, and now We get them all the year
round There was q time when the Havana
orange was all the go, not SO very long since,
either, but now you never hear of Havana.
It's all Florida and Jamaica. The Cuban
groves petered out, and oranges, it was
found, could be raised much cheaper both in
Florida and Jamaica. In fact, they ran the
Mediterranean oranges out of the market for
while, but now they are back again with a
vengeance
'How do you account for thisT
''Simply from the fact that during the past
ten or fifteen years so many Italians. who
have come to this country and made little
fortunes in the street vending business, have
gone back to Italy and Sicily and started
orange groves"
''Do you think many have made sufficient
for thatrn
Certainly. They are economical AM
thrifty people, as a rule, and have q deal OF
hard common sense. Many have scraped to-
gether perhaps several thousand dollars, and
this in Italy is sumptuous fortune, and will
enable man 10 live like lord for the rest
of his life. A few hundred dollars is suffi-
Gent to purchase plot Of ground large
enough for an orange grove, and as this fruit
grows in that country almost without cult
walton, you see oranges can be raised very
cheaply, SO cheaply, in fact, that they can be
brought all the way to this market, sold
lower than the domestic fruit, and still bring
a handsome profit to the grower New

A NEW MOTOR WANTED.

Something the World is Waiting For.
Electric Locomotives.
The world is ready for a new motor-is act
1ally expecting and waiting for it, VIVA. it
will be no man can tell, but just now it looks
as though electricity was destined to sup
plant steam in many of the mechanical pro-
cesses, or at least to be used in the distribu-
ton and application of power furnished by
steam generated in great quantities and eco
nomically at central points, or by waterfalls
or the tides of the sea. Electric motors have
already been so perfected as to demonstrate
not only the ease with which the power pro-
duced by dynamo may be distributed, but
its adaptability to almost every purpose for
which power is required.
Nearly thirty street railways are already
operated by electric motors of various kinds,
and successful experiments are making here
and elsewhere with electric locomotives. In
several manufacturing centers electric power
is supplied for driving printing presses and
other machinery, and wherever it has been
introduced it has been popular the principal
objection being its cost. And even that OBJ
stacle to its general use will no doubt event
ually be overcome. The steam engine, in its
infancy, was a crude machine, wasting all
pub a Nciy Oioh VI tut power R6Qer-
ated; but Corliss invented "cut off, /" and
other ingenious men devised improvements
in boilers and the means of utilizing fuel.
and we have the perfected steam engine Of
today.
So, too, when the electric lamp was first
successfully lighted, the cost of supplying it
with an electric current was so great that its
popular use was said to be out OF the uues-
ton. But Improvements were made in dyna-
mos, and economies in operating them were
introduced, until electric lamps today COM
pete successfully with gas lights, not only in
the quality of the illumination they give,
but also in the cost at which they are fur
nished. The electric motor, which already
is admitted to possess many advantages over
the direct use of steam power, will next be
made as cheap as the latter, but whether it is
to be the motor of the future OF not, time
alone can tell.-Frank Leslies.
