A DANGEROUS OCCUPATION.
Electric Light Linemen Must be Eek
tremely Careful in Their Ways.


tremely Careful in Their Ways.
ga lineman carries his life in his
pocket, and it may slip through a very
tiny hole" said an employee of the Brush
Electric Light Company. "a cool head
and steady nerve, with smattering of
electrical knowledge, are the prerequisites
of a first-class ineman. Unless a man be
apt to judge and quick to remember he
will be liable to serious blunders in his
manipulation of the wires. Where there
are dozens of them attached to one pole, it
is necessary that he should be able readily
to distinguish each from the others, and
have no doubt as to whether it be quick or
dead. Contact with the earth through
means of conductor should be Stunned
like death itself. Moisture in the atmos-
phere or on the wires or the pole greatly
accentuates the danger that always pre-
walls. What is ordinarily non-conductor
becomes imbued with conducting proper
ties when it is wet, and this is why line
men dread to mount the poles after or dur
ing heavy storm.
"1f a man exercises due diligence and a
certain amount of what is termed 'gump-
tion,' he may pursue his business for years
without receiving any worse injury than a
burn or two. But even the coolest headed
man is liable to blunder occasionally, and
there is no other department in life where
blunder Of microscopic proportion effects
such disastrous results. The contact of a
dangling watch charm or a little finger
nail with the wrong wire at the wrong
time may cost man his life. So long,
however, as he sits astride the cross-piece
of wooden telegraph pole and confines
his attention solely to wire that has no
communication with the earth, he is as
safe as if he were in his mothers arms"

The total Jewish population in England
is estimated at about 10000. Of these So
900 are in London-30, in the White
chapel district, 10000 in other parts of
East London and 10000 in the western
and northwestern districts. The latter
comprise the wealthiest and most cult
waited of the Hebrew community. There
are in London forty synagogues in all
eleven United sYnagogues, two Spanish
and Portuguese congregations, four indie
pendent orthodox synagogues, twenty two
federated synagogues, acknowledging the
orthodox ecclesiastical authorities, and
one Reformed synagogue under Professor
Marks, of which description, and of the
tenets and worship, will be found in the
Sunday at Home" for 1888. The Re-
formed synagogue in London has an or
gan, as has one in Bradford and another
in Manchester. In the orthodox syna-
gogues English is not used except in spec
ial prayers-as for the royal family-and
in the sermon. As the national census
does not now give religious statistics, the
estimate of the Jewish population is taken
from the records of deaths and burials.
births and marriages, checked by the
amount of consumption of passover cakes
and the attendance at synagogues on the
Day of Atonement, when all respectable
adult Jews, if at no other time, make
their appearance

NEW YoRK's STREET ARABS.
Schemes by Which Gamins Turn an Hon
est Penny.

Schemes by Which Gamins Turn an Hon
est Penny.
The shrewdness of the average New
York street gamin is remarkable One
day last week two little boys, neither of
whom were over Is years, evolved this
scheme for turning an honest penny: They
stood in the center of City Hall Park,
with their hats over their eyes, with up
turned faces, and heads nearly resting on
their backs, looking intently into the
blue sky as if some one of the heavenly
objects was visible Slowly but surely a
goodly crowd gathered, and they, too,
looked. Some asked what the attraction
was; others continued looking, evidently
for the purpose of discovering something
wonderful before asking. Some said it
was Venus, but others said it wasn't But
the two boys who caused all this sensation
and anxiety-what of them? When fully
100 had collected about the spot, the young
chaps announced that they would give a
circus performance. A space was cleared
for them, which the crowd surrounded.
Others rushed to the scene, and before the
performance began a crowd had gathered
that would not make bad showing in a
theater. The boys gave a remarkably
good entertainment of tumbling and break
neck maneuvers, which astonished the
audience and produced no little applause.
At the conclusion of the "circus perform
ance," the boys, hat in hand, collected
money enough to give them both good
time during the day, and, perhaps, seats at
the theater that evening.
Another trick came to the writer's no.
tice, which, for genuine smartness," is
rather noteworthy. 1t may be surprising
to the City Fathers to know that seats in
the public parks are sold nightly, yet this
is fact. The little boys start out early in
the evening and capture as many seais as
possible. When the young lovers pass
through the park and see seat in a quiet
and sequestered place, and find the occu-
pant to be little boy, sometimes two in
number, the young man excuses himself to
his fair companion, and, going to the boy
or boys, endeavors to make bargain for
the seat, which he is generally successful
in consummating, though never, it is said,
for less than 10 cents, and oftentimes more.
As it gets late in the evening, and the call
for seats is not SO great, one can be secured
for five cents. These money making lads
must feel as depressed at rainy or dis
agreeable night as the bootblack does of a
wet day.

A TRUE STORY IN RHYME.

where is the baby, grandma
The sweet young mother calls
From her work in the coy kitchen,
With its dainty whltewashed walls,
And grandma leaves her knitting
And looks for her all around
But not trace of baby dear
Can anywhere be found.
No sound of its merry prattle,
No CLEAN of its sunny hair,
No patter Of tiny footsteps,
No sign of il anywhere,
All through the house and garden,
Far out into the field.
They search every nook and corner,
But nothing is revealed.
Ard the mothers face grew psllid;
Grandmamma's eyes grew dim;
The fathers gone to the village.
No use to look for him.
And the baby lost where's Rover p
The mother CHANGED to think
OF the old well in the orchard
Where the cattle used TO drink.
Where Rover? know he'd find her"
''Royerm II vain they call,
Then hurry away to the orchard,
Aud there, by the moss-grown wall.
Close TO the wall lies Rover.
Holding to baby's dress,
Who was leaning over the wells edge
In perfect fearlessness.
She stretched her tiny arms down,
But Rover held her ia t,
And never seemed to mind the kicks
The tiny bare feet cast
So spitefully upon him,
But wagged his tail instead,
To greet the frightened searchers,
While naughty baby said
Dere's little dirl in the water
She's dust as big as me;
Mamma, l want TO help her out
And take her home to tea,
But Rover he won't let me,
And don't love him. Go
Away, you naughty Rover,
Oh, why are you crying so ?"
The mother kissed her, saying,
My darling, understand,
Good Rover saved your life, my dear,
And see lieks your hand
Kiss Rover" The baby struck him,
But grandma understood
She said: It's hard to thank the friend
Who thwarts us for our good"

LOOK AT YOUR WATCH.
Why the Numerals on Watch Dials Differ
From Those In Common Use.

From Those in Common Use.
In a recent conversation with Star re-
porter prominent jeweler of Maiden Lane
told the following story to explain why the
Roman numerals printed on the dials Of
watches and clocks differ from those in COM
mon use. He said:
at is nothing but tradition among
watch-makers, but the custom has always
been preserved. You may or you may not
know that the first clock that in any way
resembled those now in use was made by
Henry Wick, in 1870. He made it for
Charles V, of France, who has been called
The Wise
Now, Charles was wise in a good many
ways. He was wise enough to recover
from England most of the land which Ed
ward III. had conquered, and he did a
good many other things which benefited
France. But his early education had been
somewhat neglected, and he probably
would have had trouble in passing civil
service examination In these enlightened
ages. Still he had the reputation for wis
dom, and thought that it was necessary, in
order to keep it up, that he should also be
supposed to possess book learning. The
latter was subject he was extremely
touchy about.
$50 the story runs in this fashion. al
though ! will not vouch for the language,
but put it in that of the present day:
Yes, the clock works WELL said
Charles, but being anxious to find fault
with a thing he did not understand, you
have got the figures on the dial wrong
Wherein, your Majesty p asked Wick.
THAT four should be four ones said
the king.
/" You are wrong, your Majesty said
Wick.
81 am never wrong Numbered the
King. Take it away and correct the mis-
take9 and corrected it was, and from that
day to this 4 o'clock on a watch or clock
dial has been I'LL, instead of " The
tradition has been faithfully followed"

SWALLOWED BY A SNAKE,
An Eers Disagreeable Experience Wit
Water Snake.

An Eefs Disagreeabie Experience With
Water Snake.
A water snake surprised rowing party
on Lake Carasaljo, Me-, a short time ago
The snake, large one, was comforting
itself into hundred shapes when first
seen, and was SO busily engaged that il
permitted the boat to come within less
than an ordinary oars length. The
snake had captured an eel and was max.
ing a tremendous effort to swallow it.
while the eel was resisting with all its
slippery tactics and vibratory strength.
After protracted struggle the snake was
able to get about two and halfinches
of the eel down, when it paused, as if to
rest before renewing the swallowing pro-
cess. The snakes mouth was tightly
closed over and beyond the cells head, and
the eel seemed to be weakening under the
smothering clasp of its enemy. Such air
as there was in the vicinity of the eePs
gills was being exhausted by the snake,
and the eel was in very tight place.
The situation excited the compassion OF
one of the occupants of the boat to such
an extent that he could not resist the i'm
pulse to bring one of the oars down upon
the snake with such murderous effect as to
simultaneously dispatch the reptile and
put an end to a very interesting study in
reptilia. The naturalist of the party
brought the snake and eel into the boat,
the latter being still held, but not SO
tightly as before, in the mouth of the
snake. The eel was released and meas
ured, its length being fifteen inches. The
snake measured sixty-seven inches in
length and six and quarter inches in
circumference at the largest part of the
body. The eel, showing signs of resuscita-
ton, was laid in the water, and soon began
feebly to wriggle about, and doubtless fully
recovered. The snake, says the New York
Sun, was one of the largest, if not the
largest, of his kind ever found in this
vicinity.

grief. But we know he raised the drip
ping blade and plunged it into his own
miserable heart and fell.
A child discovered them and carried the
news to camp. The old chief came out
and found those two lovers side by side,
cold in death.
They dug grave, buried them right
under this tree, and from that time until
now it has been known as Lovers Oak"
The story was first told to the child of
an early settler by an old Indian woman,
who was the little dusky maiden that wit
messed the tragedy.
Thus we print the legend of the oak as
it has been told and repeated oft, until
every one in this city to-day of the old in
habitants will recall with what awe they
heard its recital in the boughs of the tree
