Experience of a Human "Sandw ich."

lam sandwich" You don't recog-
nize me in my present plain and rather
dirty attire, but if | should sling on the
great advertising boards that cover me,
front and back, and carry handsfull Of
bills, you would know me a once as q
familiar person you met on Olive street
Dr. Broadway many times day. The
name of sandwich" must have been an
inspiration of some funny man, and it
describes us exactly, a piece of flesh,
doubtful as to eye and condition, between
two boards as hard as any rusk or biscuit
the lunch counter patron ever drove
wedge into. We are the professional
perambulating advertising mediums Of
very many respectable concerns The
boards are painted on both sides, and it is
only a matter of adjustment of the ropes
over our shoulder which displays to the
pedestrian world either the merits of
''Peter's Purgative Pellets" and DIR.

1.-THE Evening Star-All the News Before
it Happens" and Smiths Corrugated
Shirt Fronts.
Ours is an humble calling, you will say,
but it has its pleasant side. If we have
small salaries we also have small respon-
sibilities. Our days are passed in pacing
the most frequent streets. The advertis-
ing boards shield us from bad weather
md hide any rents in our garments. We
see everything that is going on, and often
wonder that the reporters get so little
that is interesting Few people stop US
TO engage our attention, and so we are
generally wrapt up in our own medita-
tons. You wouldn't believe it, but some
of the Sandwiches" are pretty well edu-
,ated. They purchase books at the second
hand stalls and contrive to keep posted on
current events by reading the newspapers.
once knew sandwich" who was col
ege graduate. That was in New York.
You see his rich father had cast him
off and the son was trying to humble the
governors" pride. So every morning
when the old gentleman would come out
Of his residence to take his carriage for
downtown, his son would appear before
him wearing the advertisement of corn
doctor, with hideous bunion covered
foot in the middle, and would try to hand
him an advertising dodger. Once, on
Broadway, New York, met very tall
young negro, very foppishly dressed, with
cane, diamond, tall hat and an immense
standing white collar. Half block fur
ther down the street l met his exact
counterpart, and half a block further an
other just like him. Everybody was as
tonished and turned about to look after
the third fellow, if he had not before
looked after the other two. Imagine the
general surprise when on the back of each
tall Africans shirt collar was seen printed
In plain black letters, Use Jenkins
Soap. "-"Sandwich" in Globe Democrat.

The Tramp to His Pard,

There is residing in the suburbs a gen.
tleman who is tho owner of a very large
amount of real estate, but who is one Of
the most negligent of persons in regard to
dress, his clothing beingi almost invaria-
bly, of the shabbiest description. This
negligence is an eccentricity, and is not
due to penuriousness, for he is generous
and of a warm and genial nature. Not
many days ago, a tramp called at his
house during the owners absence, and, as
it was the noon hour, the latter's wife, a
very sympathetic and kind hearted
woman, gave the nomad good dinner.
Having finished the meal and thanked the
giver of the same, the tramp started off,
but just as he got to the gate he met the
owner of the premises, and judging by his
dress that they were Of the same frater-
nifty, the wanderer said: "Look here,
pard, it's leetle rough for two O. US to
work the same house durin' the same
hour. Jist try some other place this
time, for yender's too coed woman to
have to feed the both O. US today. Boz

The Mexican and His Blanket.

Did you ever hear anybody say Don't
hurry off in the heat of the day without
your blanketf" 1t is a very common ex.
preston in the rural districts of the west
and south. Well, in Mexico the express
sion is used as remonstrance against the
departure of guest. Every Mexican, on
coming to town from the country, carries
blanket with him. He does not 60 to
the hotel and ask for lodgings, but finds
shelter at almost any private house, par
ticularly among the poor. He then lies
down upon the stone floor, rolls himself
in his blanket and goes promptly to sleep.
In the morning he awakens at daylight.
and, asking the blessing Of heaven upon
the house which sheltered him, he goes
out to some plaza and there boils his
coffee in the open square.-"R. M. Y" in
ST. Louis Republic.

The Hebrews Financial Methods.

It is in finance rather than in trade,
however, that the Hebrew millionaires
have acquired most of their millions.
They may have begun as peddlers or
Office boys, but when they had scraped
together little capital they commenced
to use it in the money market to make
more. 1t is worth noting, however, that
Jewish spectators, in the sense of mere
gamblers on the stock market, are rare
among the millionaires. The Seligmans,
Wormsers and the rest have gained vast
profits in stock speculation, it is true,
but the foundations of their businesses
are laid on legitimate and sound bank
ing basis. Intrepid as the Jew is in
taking chances, it is an instinct with him
to have some force in reserve, while the
average gentle speculator will gamble
away his last dollar, and that of other
people entrusted to him, going fairly mad
under the excitement Of the act.-Alfred
Trumble in New York News.

The Care Of Domestic Animals.

The family cat is regarded with far
greater respect In England than America.
Every householder In New York, when he
packs off for the summer, leaves the cat
to live in the streets. The consequence
Is that during the lot weather the cats of
the Empire city cry aloud and shout; they
wall In anguish to the earless moon in
moans ''most musicall, most melancholie."
They mako night hideous for callous
hearted man, who ignores their affection
and rejects their companionship. Among
cranlss, commend me to the animal loving
crank. He is bit weak headed at times,
but softness Of heart is quite compatible
with strongness Of mind. Whether the
Baroness Burdett-Coutts was cranky or
not as a connoisseur in husbandry she
animals. And her care for them when
they cease from age or malady to be SER
viceable beasts of burden entities her to
public homage. at Holly Lodge, her
beautiful suburban home at Highgate, she
keeps her worn out horses, donkeys,
cattle, dogs, cats and other pets in well
tended pastures and stables until they
die. And she visits them with the re-
gUlarity of doctor, sparing nothing that
can give them comfort. Others here and
there do the same.
have seen pedigree cattle with famous
names and records living in luxury to
grand old age, and l have also seen poor
folks broken down horses and pets kept
in country quarters at an expense they
could but i'll afford "The merciful man
is merciful to his beast" What of New
Workers and their cats? If they sneer at
the bare idea of initiating the example of
those who have established a homo for
cats in London, let them do something
better. For very small fee the Lon
doner who locks up house to go a-holiday
making can have his cat properly cared
for until the family return. This is COM
mon humanity and common sense. If the
wealthy New York houseowner cannot
afford to keep his cat all the year round,
ho should have it killed rather than
cruelty subject it to the horrors Of New
Yori; street life.-New York Cor. Globe

Professional and Amateur Photographers.

It does not appear that the sharp feel
ing that characterizes the sentiments of
professional actors toward amateurs eX-
lists between professional and amateur
photographers. The fashionable summer
resorts ON the seaside and in the interior
are literally thronged with amateur pho
tographers, all loaded for game in any
shape. The local professionals straighten
out all the muddles and mistakes into
which the blithesome amateur tumbles.
The aid is given willingly, and not trace
of the bitter envy and almost positive
malice that is said to be rampant between
professional and amateur actors and ac-
tresses is noticed. A highly interesting
professional at the Thousand islands said
all the recent great improvements in pho
Biography, the instantaneous plate par
ticularly, were discovered by amateurs.
"They have time and means to expert
ment," he added, land it is for our in
terest that the amateur Photographic
craze should continue. We, who are kept
busy for money, take advantage Of all
these improvements. They bring US in
more money and save US time and many
Of the expenses incident to old days.

Ice Water in Brazil.

"The use of ice water in this country is
universal" said an old doctor, "but in
Brazil it is but little used. It was
thought that factory for producing arti.
fetal ice would be very profitable there,
where the temperature is very high. An
English syndicate constructed the neces-
sary works, but found that the natives
would not touch ice water. Then. to
tempt their palates by creating an'appe-
tite Tor it by constant use, the company
placed free tanks of ice water upon the
street corners of the cities. 1t was
novel plan, and the fruits Of the invest
nent are being borne. The use Of Ice
water is increasing, but it is not yet. o

Secrecy and the Rose.

Hippocrates, the god of silence; carries
as MS symbol rose given to him by
Cupid. From tie idea of secrecy or re-
serve that associates itself with roses
came the old custom recorded by the
Greeks. When the people of the north.
they say. wished to preserve the most
profound secrecy in regard to what was
sad between themselves ut their feasts,
a aireshly gathered rose was hung from
t me ceiling above the upper end Of the
plade' 1t was considered not only dis
honorable but crime to reveal that which
nad been said sub rosa.-Sophie B. Her

she suggested.
