Makes His Living by Waking Folks Up

From the New York Sun
''Theres man who has got a job which will
keep him comfortable during his old age" said
twelfth precinct policeman to a reporter
early yesterday morning. The speaker was
standing at the corner of Grand and Pitt
streets. The man whom he pointed out was a
short stout person, whose gray hair and NOUS
tache gave evidence of his being close to sixty
years Of age. He was walking along Grand
street.
s.What does he do?" asked the reporter.
''Well, I'll tell you his history. He was q
mechanic who got out of a job about two years
ago. Being used to rising early, he kept it up,
though out of work. A bartender living in his
house asked the old man to wake him every
morning He consented, and continued to do
SO for a week or more, when the bartender ex-
planned to a milkman how he managed to get
out of bed on time. The milkrnan was late
riser, and he got the old man to wake him up
also. 1t was not long before the milkman told
a drowsy butcher of the scheme and the old
man had another customer. The old man got
paid from each man, and reports OF his relia-
bility having got around among those who had
to get up early, he soon had over dozen Gus
toners. He now has enough men to keep him
going all night. He has never been known to
let a man sleep after the time when he had to
get up. For, as he says himself, the man
might lose his job, and If he does lose Gus
toner He carries a policeman's night stick
and huge bunch Of keys"

What to Do for SQueaking Shoes.

From the Boston Transcript.
The squeaking of shoes, as the Listener be-
Geves he once before explained, is due to the
rubbing of the upper upon the under sole. This
is prevented by putting soapstone powder be-
tween the two thicknesses of leather, which acts
as sort Of lubricator. A shoe which has
squeaked can be cured by the dealer or a cob
bier simply by ripping the soles apart, putting
in soapstone and sewing or pegging the feathers
together again. Some people like to have their
shoes squeak; it serves very much the purpose
of an announcement Of their presence and takes
the place of the runner who, in India. precedes
the great mans carriage, shouting: Make way
for the sahib!" The Listener is not one of those
persons. He prefers mute shoes. But he can
stand anything except pair OF shoes one of
which squeaks and the other does not. To go
down a room, in the face of considerable COM
pany, with pair of shoes making unlike and
alternating noises, thus: Squeak, clump!
squeak, clumpr is one of the greatest trials in
the world

FOOT BALL.
The Qualities that Make Good PLAYER
OF the Game.

From st. Nicholas for December.
''What makes good foot ball player?' is a
question asked over and over again. Many are
the answers given, but no answer is correct
that does not contain the word pluck" The
same elements that go to make up excellence
in any of the other field sports are requisite in
foot ball; but while in certain of the others
that peculiar type of courage called pluck is
only required in moderate degree, in foot
ball it is absolutely Indispensable. Many man
has said: "Oh! am too small to play foot ball
couldn't get on the team" Such man
makes a mistake. Look at the records of our
players and see how full they are of the names
of small men. Wilmington, Cushing, Harding
Hodge, Beecher and twenty others have played
weighing under a hundred and forty! Nor has
it been that their deeds have been remembered
because performed by such small men. These
men made points as we'll as regulations. There
is place on the foot ball field for man, no
matter what he weighs.
This brings us to another quality-the brains
of a team. That team is the best which has
the most brains. Foot ball is, even now, an
undeveloped sport. There is room for an al
most infinite number of as yet unthought-of
plays. Every season brings forward new ones.
If player wishes to devote little of his spare
time to fascinating amusement let him take
pencil and paper and plan out combinations in
the evening and try them the next day. He
will soon find that he is bringing out not only
new but successful piays

Europe's Tallest Prince.
From the Indianapolis Journal.

Prince Christian, the oldest son Of the crown
prince Of Denmark, who is at present serving
his year in the ranks of the common soldiers, is
the tallest prince in Europe. Heretofore the
emperor of Russia has had this honor, but
Prince Christian, as was discovered during the
Cars recent trip to Fredensborg, is several
inches taller than that monarch. When the
emperor was received at the station his regi-
ment was ordered as the guard OF honor and
Prince Christian was obliged to present arms"
while the rest of his family greeted the en-
peror. The only mark which distinguished the
future king from the peasants about him was
the MAMMALIAN decoration which he wore on
his breast

Beer as an Antidote for Whisky.

Efom the New Aork sun
Yesterday q man very much under the in
auence of liquor walked into one of the best
hotels up town and insisted upon having a
drink. He ordered whisky in a very loud tone
and the bar tender with the utmost sauvity
drew glass Of beer and placed it before him.
The man kept on demanding whisky with a
great deal of determination. No attention was
paid to him, however. and after few rambling
remarks he seized the glass of beer and drank
it spitefully down. immediately change
came over him. The beer seemed to have
modifying effect and after wandering aimlessly
around the place he paid his check and calmly
departed.
THAT is a rule we have all adopted" said
the bar tender, carelessly. ave do not con-
slider it right to give a drunkard whisky that
will set HIM lighting crazy and We cannot throw
a man out of the place SIMPLY because he has
drank too much. Beer nearly always has the
effect OF calming down the nerves of a whisky
drunkard and the curious thing ia that it acts
almost at once. When man gets to the con-
dition where he must have q drink at any
hazard he will take anything in liquid form
that is placed before him. A good glass of
beer is the best thing in the world to straighten
up on. The bar tenders all over the city are
now working on the same plan with those who
have been drinking too much and who are
naturally quarrelsome. The beer quiets them
down and does them no harm"

How to Cure Insomnia.

From the Hospital
A very simple method of inducing sleep in
cases of persistent insomnia, and one that has
succeeded where many drugs have failed, is
simply to administer moderate amount Of
warm liquid food before the patient goes to
bed. This diverts the blood from the brain to
the abnormal organs and takes away the cere-
bral excitement that precludes sleep.

THE "MI MMS.o
A Chat With the Secretary of the British
ChrysanthemumS Society.

Condensed from the Pail Mall Gazette.
Few people would suppose that this is the
centenary of the chrysanthemum, but it is.
1t is true chrysanthemums were introduced
into England year later, but IL was in 1889
when NJ. Blanchard brought the first of the
magnificent blossoms back to Marseiiies from
tour in China. Here and there a small flow
cred species had even before them, been
blooming bravely and unknown in some quiet
English garden, and in 1764 plant, which was
lost soon after, grew in the Apothecaries gar
den at Chelsea, but the 'anno Domini' of the
flower as a species in Europe was the same year
in which the bastile fell, at the day dawn of
the reign of terror. The foundations of France
were shaken 10 their lowest depths, but down
in the sunny south, at Marseilles and Toulouse,
the strange fair flower grew and fiourished,
and soon its fame spread far and wide beyond
the borders of France.
Are people as crazy as ever about the chrys-
anthemum!" L asked Mr.. w. Holmes, secretary
of the National chrysanthemum society, by
way of opening the subject.
Just as crazy, il not more So" was the re-
ply. The craze began in 1916 and has been
increasing year by year. Up to that date the
flower was comparatively little known, except
10 few gardeners, who took a special interest
IN 1t. In $50 only twelve sorts were known in
England. Six years later Sc new varieties had
been introduced and in 1888 they were for the
first time classified. Birmingham was the town
which first held chrysanthemum show. over
half century ago. and in 1876 the founding of
the Chrysanthemum society gave a great impe-
tus to the interest which was taken in the flower
Since then 1t has grown and grown, new varie-
ties have been continually brought out and
there are now between ], 200 and ], 800 different
flowers in the market"
II suppose the fact that they bloom at sea-
son when flowers are very scarce accounts
chiefly for their popularity"
ITO a great extent it does but another thing
which is greatly in favor Of the flower is that it
is very hardy plant and easily cultivated"
November is its best month, is it not?'
"Yes, November is the month in which it is
generally most seen, but there are three kinds of
chrysanthemums, the earliest of which are out
IN September, while the latest bloom In Janu-
airy or even in February. But you can stretch
ont the time OF its bloom considerably by care
full cultivation. Lady Lytton, for instance, has
chrysanthemums all the year round"

Cats and Rain.

From Notes and Queries. =
Undoubtedly, as the editor has pointed out
this is generally familiar prognostic. Never
theless, it may be worth while to place on rec
ord the result of series of years steady obser-
walton of this coincidence. The study of folk
lore naturally makes one curious to test the
truth of sayings that have long obtained, and
this comes so easily within the field of obser-
walton that it only required little patience
and perseverance to note the result.
The result has been undeviatingly in favor of
the folklore saying. The hall barometer may
be misinterpreted, and the newspaper "fore-
casts" may err. but the cat never faieth. If
he wash over one ear once or twice, there will
be a shower; if over both ears many times
there will be down pour las sure as eggs is
eggs" as another folklore saying has it.
All science is but the noting of more or less
frequently recurring condolences, and to
make out reason for more frequent coinci-
dence constitutes the whole difference between
knowledge" and superstition" In all prob
ability if nature student takes the trouble to
investigate the matter he will find that the con-
dition of the atmosphere when rain is immi-
nent irritates the keenly sensitive perceptions
OF the cat, or in some way induces licking fit;
but the coincidence will remain the same
whether reason be found for it or not.
Another cat weather forecast occurs when a
steady old Tom long past the friYolities of
youth, suddenly takes to capering about and
kicks all the rugs into cooked hats. This fit
generally portends the breakup of fine sea-
son, but it is prognostic which does not so
constantly present itself for observation as the
other.
As assertion is apt to provoke controversion.
it is necessary to point out that for perfect
instance of the first prognostic the paw must
GO right over the outer side of the ear; the
thrusting it into the innermost recesses of the
inside may forebode nothing, and the creature
is SO slippery and SO rapid and furtive in its
movements that it requires keen observation to
detect when the fatal limit is passed. Ispeak
from observations made in company with in
credulous, but after trial, convinced friends
An equally unfailing folklore prognostic Of
rain is a donkey braying-in England. 1t also
serves as a type Of the localization of such
prognostics; for in Italy, for instance, the
donkey's bray has no such significance.
Similarly we had some time ago in IN and
O." quotation of a bit of English folklore to
the effect that fire found burning over night
was the token of death. Now, of course this
is an unusual circumstance with (coaO fire
that has not been purposely ''banked up and
damped down." But in Italy one as often as
not finds in the morning red embers under the
white ashes Of the (wood1 fires.

No Bathing Suit Required.
From the Chicago Ferald.

from the chicago f.erald.
A Chicago lady related in the hearing of a
reporter the following bit of experience: I
imagined that it would do me good to visit the
natatorium for daily SWIM and supposing, of
course, that the place was open to the public
all the year around, 1 went over there to get
what information could about lessons and
terms for the course. l met i'll the Office a
very pleasant young lady and asked her if
she was in charge. She said she was. re-
quested catalogue, but she said the catalogues
were locked up, though If would sit down for
a few minutes the teacher would be in and give
me one. l sat down, and for ten or fifteen
minutes l chatted pleasantly with the polite
young girl.
Finally said: II suppose that all need is a
bathing suit" A look of horror overspread
the young girls innocent face as she said:
"What?" couldn't make her out. ''Must
have more than bathing suit?" / asked
Then / began to trust that something was
wrong. 'Isn't this the natatorium?" / asked
A smile chased away the girls look Of horror.
NO." she answered: at is the natatorium in
the summer, but now il is dancing school"

Arctic and Anarctic Icebergs.

1t is not generally known that G
marked difference exists in the form Of
the icebergs of the two hemispheres
Those of the Arctic ocean are irregular
in shape, with lofty pinnacles, cloud
capped towers and glittering domes
whereas the southern icebergs are flat
topped and solid looking. The former
reaches the shore by narrow fords, but
the formation of the latter is more reg
ular. The northern are neither SC
large nor so numerous as those met
with in the Southern ocean.
In 1856 an immense berg was sight
ed in AZ degs. south latitude, which
drifted about for several months and
was sighted by many ships. 1t was
300 feet high, sixty miles long and for
ty miles wide, and was in shape like q
horseshoe. Its two sides inclosed q
sheltered bay measuring forty miles
across. A large emigrant ship ran in
to this bay and was lost with all on
board. Only about one-ninth of an
iceberg is visible above water. There
are several we'll authenticated accounts
of icebergs 1000 feet high having been
sighted in the southern ocean. This
would make their total height 5000
feet, or nearly two miles.
