 He looked exactly like a man who knew what he wanted. and had the money to pay for it, as he entered a Sixth avenue hardware store and con- iidentially remarked:
 "Delng had to come on other bus mess I thought might as well take a carpet sweeper home with me. You have all kinds and prices, suppose?"
 No, sir. we do not deal in them. You'll have to go to the carpet stores.'
 Don't keep carpet sweepers :"
 No. sir"
 "Why they are right in your line"
 Beg pardon, sir, but they belong to the carpet trade.'
 Never saw one in a carpet store m my life"
 Can't help it, sir" said the clerk.
 The man walked slowly on for half a square and turned into another hard ware store. This time he wasn't so sure what lie wanted.
 II want to see some carpet sweep CTS" he said, to the first clerk who came forward.
 Don't keep 'em." was the brusque reply.
 Well. that's funny. I've always seen them at hardware stores
 They may keep 'em in some com- try town. but we couldn't sell them here. Carpet store on the next square,"
 The man tried q third hardware store with no better success. Indeed, when he stated his convictions that no first-class carpet house ever dealt in carpet sweepcrs, the clerk said:
 Better let it go and hang to the broom. You probably wouldn't know how tc work one anyhow:"
 Then tAe man moved on to carpet house. There were 30 carpet sweep CTS artistically grouped around the door, and he stood in the midst of them and inquired;
 Got any carpet sweepers :"
 a Certainly. sir-tifteen different patents. Do you prefer any particu- make? Here is the latest patent"

 "Of course. | do. Don't you :"
 And can I mow my lawn with that?"
 No. sir. \ carpet sweeper is to sweep carpets. and lawns are cut with lawn mowers"
 "Say!" whispered the stranger, as he advanced and dropped his voice to a whisper. Have you fool killer in this store:"
 Not at present.
 "Is your kicker arOund!"
 Not to-day"
 Well, I'll go out and let an ash cart run over me, or trade myself off for old junk, for I'm the biggest idiot in the state of New York wanted q lawn mower. and this is the fourth place I've struck fora carpet sweeper So long, old boy; it's fair laugh Good-by. See you when I want a grindstone."

T. X :. r. railway. near the northern edge of the mineral belts, by rail is eighty-two miles. By wagon road south from Santa Fe it is twenty-five miles and by rail thirty-seven miles. By rail to Albuquerque it is fifty miles. By the stage line from Cerrillos southeasterly to Dolores it is nine miles. and then on south to Golden eleven miles. San Pedro is still three miles southeasterly, from Golden, making the whole dis tance from Cerrillos to San Pedro twcnty-three miles. From san Pedro in a southerly direction to Albuquer- que by wagon road it is thirty-eight miles With this brief statement of the location of the principal points in this mining region our readers. by reference to a map. can form a good idea of its locality.

The Great Flood in China.

In answer to q correspondent the Chicago Inter Ocean of recent date furnished the following data concern ing the great flood in China in 1887:
 China has several times during the present century suffered heavily on account of floods. One of the most remarkable and disastrous of these inundatiors was in the month of Oc- toDer. 1858. At that time 10000 houses were swept away at Canton. and over 1000 lives were lost. This catastrophe was occasiOned by heavy and continued rains. There were al- so numerous and lesser disasters re- ported about the same time through out the empire.
 The last terrible floods in China occurred in the autumn of 1887. In 1852. the Hoang-IIo or Yellow River. which has come to be known as "China's Sorrow" burst its northern bank rear Kaifeng-fu, the capital of the province of Honan, and cut new bed through the northern part of Shantumg into the gulf of Pechili; this river for 500 years had poured its vast volume of water into the Yellow Sea south of the promontory of Shan- tung The flood of 1887 was caused by the reversal of the work of 1851. The month of September, 1887, was very rainy On September 2Sth the river broke the southern embankment at Cheng-ChOw, forty miles above Kaifeng-fu. When the breach was made 5000 men. who were at work strengthening the levce. were drown ed, and at another point 1000 work men were drowned. The overflow was widespread. At first it was con fined to the Lu-Chia rivers channel. but it was not long before it inundat- ed the Chungnou district. There it destroyed 100 villages and flooded the lands of 800 others, while several of the suburbs of the great commercial city of Chusien-C Chen were swept away. The high ground the city oc- cupied was what saved it. Then the flood spread over low. thickly set tied district south of kaifcng-fu. sub merging 1500 villages. When it reach ed the valley of the IIuai-Fio the re- ported loss of life was greater. It was discovered that many walled cities were depopulated and virtually destroyed. The loss of life was placed at between 100000 and 100000. The fact is, it has been impossible to ascertain how many persons were drowned. but most responsible figures give 1.600,0OO as the number who lost their lives and 5.000000 who were lett homeless and destitute. The waters of the river spread over q dis trict 75O0 square miles in extent in series of lakes. There were other losses during the early part of 1888 with heavy loss of life. while in the fall of 1888 there were disastrous floods in Nlanchuria No such floods as the Yellow Rivers of 1887 ever oc- cured within the knowledge of man. kind.
