The World Moves.

While reporter stood lighting cigar in
little tobacco store on Myrtle avenue one
morning jolly faced colored man entered
and began the operation of cleaning the win
dows. He was dressed in blue uniform and
looked like Pullman car porter.
The company that this colored man
works for is a new thing in Brooklyn" said
the little smooth faced clerk behind the coun-
ter. 1T has a regular sinecure, too, be-
lieve"
"How is thatF' inquired the reporter.
"Well, two or three shrewd fellows got to-
gether a month ago and organized a window
polishing and cleaning company. Then they
sent out cards to all the business places with
this announcement: Windows polished and
cleaned in stores, offices and private dwell
ings per week, month or year, on contract, at
reasonable terms The scheme seemed to
take and the company is doing rafting bus
mess. They send out uniformed colored men
and they clean window in no time Now
pay 81 per month to have those two small
windows cleaned and | think the company
has picnic. They agree to clean my win
dows once week. But like window clean
ing just about well enough to pay 81 per
month In the big stores they polish the
floors and clean the carpets. The company

his work and was preparing to step in next

NIethuen Mans Strange Story.

Twelve years ago a Methuen man stepped
on tack while hunting for some paregoric
in the night. Wednesday he felt weighty
sensation on his right side, and opening his
coat took out his pocketbook, where he found
three pounds of brass headed nails. This is
a fact.-Lawrence American.
How a Man Sews on Buttons.
Did you ever see man. in the solitude and
privacy of his study, attempt to sew button
on by himselfl It's, in all its details, one of
the most interesting performances in the
world.
First, he hunts for button. Generally, to
secure il he robs Peter to pay Paul, and cuts
one from some other garment This may be
much larger or much smaller than the size he
is wearing Next, he hunts for a needle.
Probably he goes out and buys paper Of
needles He always chooses the largest, hav-
ing an impression that large needles will sew
stronger than small needles.
As to thread, he gets the coarsest he can
find, and this he doubles. He would thread
his needle. He takes the big needle in one
hand and his coarse black thread in the other;
he bites off the thread to the desired length;
then he tries to twist it to a fine point. Cen
orally in this he succeeds in making two and
sometimes three fine points out of one end.
OF course he can't get all these points through
the needles eye at once. He tries hard to
make the needle and thread get on friendly
terms with each other. Sometimes it is the
needle that kicks, sometimes the thread.
Sometimes he really imagines he has threaded
his needle 1t is an ocular delusioni the
thread has missed the needles eye by half an
inch. 1t is harder work than saving wood.
At last the needle is threaded. Now he tries
to sew the button on without taking his
trousers off. This proves failure He twists
himself into an uncomfortable position, and
so would sew. But he cannot sew so. He
runs the needle into his finger, and makes an
inaudible exclamation. Again the needle
slips into the ieshy part Of the hand, which
induces very audible dash from the opera
tor The recording angel knows what is go
ing on inside of him, and debts him with
every item He sews hard.
He has forgotten all about the necessity for
a thimble. He jams his thumb down on the
needles head, and it punctures his thumb or
runs under the nail By and by he sews the
button eye full of thread. His Big needle
does not pass through any more. He must
stop. He ends by winding the thread as
many times as it will go under the button,
and perhaps he leaves off with two or three
inches of thread sticking outside. A woman
can, through many outward indications, tell
when man has been trying to sew on but
ton. He doesn't know the shibboleth of needle
and thread, and it catches somewhere every
time. At last the button is sewn on, and he is
proud of his work.-Housekeeper

TO rne human SKIN upon wnlcn IL Is after
ward used. In Europe sponges are used in
their natural color, but the general public
in America is not yet educated up to the
proper understanding of this matter.
Another unpleasant fact, akin to this, is
that hundreds of sponges used at hospitals
are bought up by street fakirs after their
days of usefulness there are ended, subjected
to a chemical treatment supposed to clean
them, bleached or dyed to suit the fancy of
the vender, and then loaded into baskets and
offered for sale on the streets. Whether
they are purged of all impurity is question.
Certainly the best sponge is the cheapest one
in the long run, and the best can only be
secured by paying an equivalent price Chi

Moving.

There are few things most women dread as
much as moving, for in most homes it means
a week of confusion at the least Although
it may mean a general improvement in the
matter of abode, 1yet the generalization at
tending the removal takes away the charm
OF betterment until settled. Many women
will put up with any amount of inconve-
niencs rather than move. The men folks of
the family are not, as rule, fond Of this occu-
patton, tie majority Of them believing, with
Franklin, that two mOvings are as bad as a
fire."
When packing for moving it is best to pack
the furniture Of each room separately, mark
ing it so it may be kept together and placed
in the room allotted it in the new house at
first, and a great deal of confusion will be
saved. If the new abode is near it is best to
carry all pictures mot too Iarge) and any
fragile articles by hand, hanging the pict-
ures in their proper places before moving in.
The carpets, with the exception of the oil
cloth, hall and stair carpets, can be put down
ere the rest Of the furniture arrives To be
sure, they will have to be fitted to the new
rooms, and ought to be lifted and sent day
or two st least before the remainder of the
furniture. The curtains, too, with the excep-
ton of those in the kitchen and sitting room,
can be sent and put up day ahead. When
this is done the rest of the settling is not very
hard, for when the furniture arrives there
should be some one at the house 10 designate
the rooms to which each article of furniture
is to go, and the proper adjustment Of the
furnishings Of the rooms will come very easy ,

The Diamond Spark.

Tiny diamond sparks are being used effect

are set in silver, and a single row worn about
the throat looks like a continuous line of
light A seasons debutante wore at a late
dinner dance a costume of tulle, from its pc
culiar lustrous, silvery quality called noon
tulle. A fine strand Of diamond sparks en-
circled her slender white throat; three or four
of the same bejeweled silver threads were
twisted about her arms; the several small
wrought silver combs that caught her dark
coils of hair were likewise bediamoned, and
wee gems sent their iridescent CLEANS from
the tips of her dainty satin shoes. Debut
tantes are not supposed to borrow their bril-
fancy from gems; but so delicately were
these sparkles added that they seemed quite
in keeping with the wearers youth and

Acrophohia Den.Sd.

Among the many curious psychical expert
ments that are now attracting the attention
of scientific minds, the one to which the term
"acrophobia" has been applied has several
points of interest. DR.. Vega has recently de-

Though by nature not at all timid, all his
courage leaves him when above ground He
complains OF palpitations in mounting a step

uncus, a hook, Pawubrokers employed a
hook to lift articles pawned before spouts

never been very clearly proven that sbe, is.
But some women are constantly in such

this unfortunate state of affairs is usually
some functional arrangement; some Distress

it may arise, DIR. Pierce's Favorite PrescT;p-
