Dangers at .Billingsgate.

1t is pleasing to learn from one of
Mr.. Lawrence Hamilton's recent let
tiers that, in addition to it's old famil-
lar shortcomings, Billingsgate is pc
culiarly favorable to the develop
ment OF bacteria, microbes, and all
the elements of putrefaction in which
dead fish are specially rich. The
walls, floors and stalls of a fish mar
ket ought, by rights, to be faced with
some hard, smooth, non-absorbent
material, such as marble or glazed
tiles, which will afford no harbor for
these microscopic denominations. 1t
seems, however, that at Billingsgate
the stalls are mostly of rough wood,
the walls of plain brick, and the
floors OF porous stone, and all are
worn, honeycombed and rugged with
age. The whole place is consequent
~ impregnated with putrefying filth,
with not merely it's peculiarly ancient
and fish like smell, but also with the
most Objectionable results to such
wholesome fish as are brought into
it. For all this we have to thank
God and Magog, who not only keep
up this outrage on civilization, but
charge rents ranging from Cd. to Sd.
per square foot for such accommo-
dations as is to be found there Lon
don Truth.

What is the Neon?

But when we look at the moon with
our telescopes, do we see any traces
OF water? There are, no doubt, many
large districts which at first glance
seem like oceans, and were indeed
termed ''seas" by the old astrono-
mers, name which they still absurd
" retain. Closer inspection shows
that the so called lunar seas are des-
erts, often marked over with small
craters and with rocks. The telescope
reveals no seas and no oceans,
no lakes and no rivers. Nor is the
grandeur of the moons scenery ever
impaired by clouds over her surface.
Whenever the moon is above the hor-
lion and terrestrial clouds are out of
the way, we can see the features of
her surface with distinctness. There
are no clouds in the moon; there are
not even the mist or the vapors
which invariably arise wherever wa
ter is present. And therefore astron-
omers have been led to the conclu-
sion that our satellites a sterile and
waterless desert.-Story of the
Heavens.

RObbing the Conductor.

Two men made good wages of
street car conductors in this town
forssome weeks by a simple contriv-
ance. One would approach car
from either side and appear as total
strangers. Both would crowd into
the center Of the rear platform, and
the one farthest from the collector
would hand him a half dollar or dol
lar to hand to the conductor. The
latter, in the hurry and crowd would
take little notice Of it, but, guided
by the impression conveyed BY his
fingers, would return the correct
change. A minute afterward the
other man ould look up meekly and
ask if that wasn't a half dollar or
dollar, always double the true
amount that he had handed. The
conductor could not say positively
and would appeal to the stranger
who had acted middleman. OF
course, he would agree with the de-
mander, and another quarter or hall
dollar, as the case might be, would
be handed him. A few blocks farther
both strangers" would alight and
work the next conductor. St. Louis

Wletched Rich Men.
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
A woman writes to The Press from
Long Branch: One Of the saddest
sights in the world next to real pow
erty or distress is the sight ola rich
man who has acquired boundlesa
wealth and lost his happiness and
his capacity to enjoy what money Sc
cures. Such cases are by no means
rare. They are very common. j
saw man recently whose income is
believed to be abo ut 81, 600 a week.
whose whole day was spoiled because
Q cabman overcharged him 81 for a
short ride. Ofcourse the millionaire
knew that he could not possibly
spend his income, but nevertheless
the idea oflosing adollar, Of being
defrauded out of it, of getting moth
ing in return for it, was almost ago,
ny to him. Many q man in making
a great fortune completely loses the
power Of enjoying it. This is one of
the worlds compensations. The
happiness of sound sleep and a good
digestion is often enjoyed by a man
with an empty purse, while the mill
ionaire epicure has neither painless
digestion by day nor healthy rest by
night.
II saw on the ocean drive one OF
Philadelphia's richest men. He is
one OF those wretched millionaires
who have spent the best years of
their life getting control OF a bank or
a brewery, or boom of some sort.
He is sitting back in corner of his
swell landau now and wondering what
he did it for. He has fine old face,
a heavy gray mustache, bushv eve
brows and gold-rimmed eyeglasses.
He is dressed carefully, and his lace
is absolutely empty of interest in
anything. He can't even work any
more. Because he has so much mon-
ey all motive is gone. His wife? Oh,
well, he loved his wife long ago and
he bows to her now when he meets
her in the hallway of his house, and
they have never had quarrel. Chill
dren? Yes, several of them. They
used to be pretty, and were fond Of
him when they were babies. Then
boarding school, college, balls, par
ties and-checks, checks. Now he
hardly knows anything about them.
All sympathy is lost between them.
Living under the same roof, their
hearts are always wide apart. In
fact, he doubts whether he has a
heart at ALL

He "Saved'' His Nickel:

A clean, shrewd-looking gentleman
stepped into a street car on Pennsyl
vanla avenue and took seat inside.
The conductor, who was in a CONVEX
sational mood, turned to a gentle
man who stood upon the platform
and said:
you saw that man who Just got
on?" .... ...-..-
eyes"
swell saw him do the toolishest
thing one day last winter that any
man ever did,
"What was it?''
HE got on my car and gave me a
dime out on the platform. 1 handed
him a nickle and in trying to put it
into his pocket he dropped it and it
rolled off into the slush. He made a,
dive for it, and in jumping off the car
fell down and daubed himselfall over.
stopped the car, but he said to go
on; that he was going to find his
nickel. So he paved around in the
soft snow until he found it, hoped
aboard the next car, paid the nickle
TO that conductor, and reached home
one car later and agood dealmadder
and mussier than he would if he had
stayed on my car and let his nickle
go. Washington Post.

A Primitive Eating House.

Blakely Hall in New York Sun.
visited an eating house in Ber-
lin which for primitiveness is rather
ahead Of anything else have seen in
the world. The dining table con-
sisted Of q log in which eighteen
cavities appeared at regular inter
walls. Each cavity was about the
size OF a large soup bowl, and fastened
near every one was big iron spoon
attached to the log by an iron
chain. The method Of dining was
neither complicated nor prolonged.
A table d'hote dinner consisting Of
one course, which by the way. was
the only dinner served in the house
cost FIVE pieRnigs about one cent
and quarter of our coin. The
diner enters and planks down his
money before taking his seat. Then
he chooses one of the broad cavities,
seizes the iron spoon, and waits for
the waiter. That functionary is
usually sort Of Poo-Bah, combin-

by Otto Peters, of Deer Island, to
Frank c. Barnes. It weighed $50

he saw in Alaska, but the crowd got
