An EVENING World reporter formed one
Of o group recently seated on the stoop Of o
Brooklyn residence.
The conversation had been proceeding
smoothly for an hour or so. when q young
lady in the party. as IL struck with q sudden
idea, remarked:
"Oh. / have O nice treat for you !" and
forthwith disappeared into the house.
a few minutes later she reappeared bearing
in her hands what appeared to be an assort-
ment OF rags cut into small strips. a.,
On closer examination, however, the
" treat " was found to be soft tc the touch
and easily separated, while a sea-like odor
arose from II,

Not sea-weed, either" responded the
young lady, " but dulce. Just chew o small
piece and see how nice 1t is" aud she set the
example.

reporter slowed a generous - chaw " in his
mouth, and closed his teeth on the soft,
moist substance.

of it to the neighboring villages. where it is
eagerly purchased.
- short time ago, some friends of mine
were going on q Yachting expedition to st.
John, and l asked them an a particular favor
to bring me some dulce."
A gentleman in the party, who had eaten it
before, also gave a few instances of how
eagerly it was sought after by residents in
some portions of Canada, and also in the
United States, and the reporter shut his eyes
and tried to imagine that he liked it. The
others who had partaken of dulce had got rid
OF it in some surreptltious manner, but with
the electric light shining directly upon his
face, the reporter was compelled to masticate
and swallow the last particle.
When the party bad broken up, three vic
tins of dulce-eating held q council of war,
and if that yachting party appears in Brook
lyn within q few days, a case of justifiable
homicide will be reported in the papers.

Senator Leland Stanford, of Califor-
mia, attributes poverty first 10 "Ignor-
ance of how TO save money" secondly,
to ''the sale and use of liquor :" and
thirdly, to ga lack of manual training
In speaking OF the first cause he is thus
quoted Il found beggars IN Califor
MIA in 1880, when any man could go
out with a tin pan and earn five dollars
before breakfast. When by working
three hours day, a man could make
his board and clothes, there were
always shiftless creatures around whom
the rest had TO support. 1t Is the same
way now. The soil is wonderfully fruit
full there. Nearly 1000 men produce
all the wheat of the State, and export
,ooo, 900 tons of it every year, and yet
there are beggars. We can cut, thresh
and sack wheat at an expense of one
and-a-half cent per pound potatoes
cost only half cent pound, and flour
is only four dollars a barrel, and yet
there is want. An important cause is
unthrift. People do not understand
economy or practise it as almost every
rich man has had to at some time in
his life. l really believe that there
would be beggars in the world before
night if $50 gold pieces were to be
sown broadcast every morning and SO
distributed that every man, woman and
child were certain to get some"

Those interested in the growth and
prosperity of the town of Elkton, will
read with interest the report of the
committee on needed municipal i'm
provements made to the town meeting
on Wednesday evening, and which we
publish in full IN our local columns.
The report shows, that the committee
has considered the needs OF the town
intelligently, that it has collected in
dustriously sufficient data by which to
be guided in making its recommended
tons, and that the conclusions arrived
at are sensible, timely, and business like,
indicating that they are acting strictly
in the interest of the taxpayers of the
town in making such recommendations
as will secure them a better municipal
government. We hope to see each
and every recommendation made by
the committee, embodied in an early
amended town charter, and that in the
future administration of local affairs,
the interests of our property holders
and taxpayers upon whom all the ex-
pense of local government falls, will be
more uniformly and justly considered
than in the past.

Under the title of "A New England
Vagabond," Colonel Thomas Wentworth
Higginson, in Harper'S Nagdzile for
March, tells the story of a tramp of Rev.
dictionary times, in a fascinating way.
1t is the career of one Henry Tufts that
is depicted, and a precious scamp he was.
In addition to his other iniquities he
wrote book, and it is from that volume
of memoirs that Colonel Higginson, in
review. mas collected the significant Incl
dents grouped under this title. Such a
vagaboud as Tufts could not exist today.
Our tramps are altogether much less in
teresting rogues; their memoirs would be
common place; but Tufts, with Colonel
Higginson's help, allows us to gaze at
Revolutionary times from a new point of
view. and gives us fresh ideas of the
material which made mp part OF Wash
ingJon's army. They were incorruptible
patriots, of course, from one point OF view;
but they had their seamy side. The only
trouble with this article is that it is toe
short.
