Activity in London Streets.

The thing that most astonished me
prepared to see there, says Julian Ralph
in Harper's Weekly, was the amazing
activity in the streets. A New Yorker
born and bred, who has seen the prin-
cipal American cities, fancies that there
can be nothing in the world like Fulton
street and Broadway. But, after one
hour on foot in London, he will regard
that heart of New York's traffic much as
a turbulent old sailor heard of regarded
twenty-five calibre revolver. "What
are you going to do with that pea
shooter9" he asked. Nobody would
be afraid of that Stand off bit and
fire at me few times till see what it
will do. Now, if you happened to have
knife about you and felt sassy, I'd feel
afraid of you"
London is full of Fulton streets and
Broadways, and at them and in all the
other streets the cabs and hansoms fly
about in such a hot and apparently reck-
less way that l always felt while was
there that the only reason | did not read
of a hundred thousand turnover" acci-
dents every morning in the papers was,
that it would be doing violence to the
organic principles of the London press
to print the news. | confess l was more
than half afraid to cross the crowded
streets, and with a fear which is en-
gendered in New York in few places and
on few occasions. | was assured by the
citizens, that they are all so accustomed
to project their coat tails at right angles
to their bodies, and to invoke divine aid
between the flying hoofs of horses, when
ever they need to cross a street, that they
are as adept at it as an American light
ning-rod man is at lodging missiles.
Yet observed that Dickens, in his Die.
tionary of London, thinks it worth while
to suggest that the only way to go from
curb to curb, is to make up your mind
what course you will take and then stick
to it, because then the London cabbies
will divine your intentions. To change
your mind while en- route is to confuse
the cabmcn, and cause you to make your
return journey to America in the form OF
freight. Then, again, ! found that in
the western end of the Strand-that is,
down by Temple Bar and the Law
Courts-200 more or less mangled
bodies are sent to the Charing Cross
Hospital every year.

A Thrifty Postmaster.

The Bowling Green (Ky.) Times tells
how the postmaster at Rochester, KY,
who kept small grocery, made smart
speculation with postage stamps several
years ago, when the keepers of small of
fees were allowed 60 per cent of the re-
ceipts for their services. ''The old man
concluded he would increase his stock,
so he boarded a train for Louisville, and
going to the wholesale grocery house of
Cowles & Co., said to Pleas Cowles i
want to buy 81, 600 worth of goods and
pay cash fos them, provided you will Let
me pay in stamps The grocery king re-
flected, and concluded that stamps were
equivalent to the cash, and, besides, he
wanted the postmaster's trade, so he
agreed to sell the goods and take in
payment 1000 worth of stamps. The
postmaster at once ordered the stamps
from Washington, sending S400 for the
payment of them, of course having
deducted his 60 per cent. The Postmas-
ter General made kick, but the stamps
had to come under the contract which
the Rochester postmaster had with the
government. The old man made 5000
and Mr.. Cowles sold 81, 900 worth of
poods,n

Condensed Facts About Cotton.

The following items from Statistician
Dodge's report to the Secretary of Ag-
riculture will be of general interest; Cot
ton can be grown in almost every section
of the world lying within the parallels of
35 degrees of latitude, and this belt in
cludes the greater part of the land surface
of the globe. 1t is more or less grown
by almost every people inhabiting this
portion of the earths surface, though in
the districts between twenty degrees and
thirty-fve degrees north latitude its cul-
tivation now seems most profitable.
The area ON which it may be produced is
practically limited only by the require
ments for the product. 1t is the fibre
which is adapted for use under the
widest conditions of climate and civilza-
ton, and it is the only fibre known
which is and can be produced in such
quantities and so cheaply that the per-
manent demand cannot possibly exceed
the supply. This country produces
more than one-half of the product of the
world. We now consume in our own
mills about 33 1-3 per cent. of our annual
crop, and the proportion is slowly but
steadily increasing.

Two Moods of an Emperor.

When he is in Berlin Emperor William
is as democratic as you could wish; he
drives, rides, and walks about as freely
as old Haroun Alraschid ever did, and he
doesn't at all mind stopping now and
again to chat with common folk. But
when he retires to Potsdam, where his
private residence is, he is quite differ
ent person. At Potsdam he is as exclu-
sive as a scared turtle. The doors of his
palace-yes, and the gates of his park
are closed against everybody and he
shuns that recognition which he else
where invites. 1t is hard, however to
keep the small boy out of what he ought
not to be in. Three OF four urchins
made practice of climbing the wall in
closing the imperial park and of PLAYING
at soldiers under the splendid trees. AS
luck would have it, the Emperor and
Empress rode one morning in that partic-
ular part of the park and suddenly came
upon the little ragamutlins. Instead of
throwing away their broomsticks and
skedaddling, the urchins wheeled into
line, presented arms, and saluted the i'm
perial couple William was simply de-.
Igated and he told the boys that he
would remember them. So he did. AS
certaning who they were and that thew
were children of poor people, he has sent
them to military school and will have
them educated at his private COST

A oUR-YEAR-oLD SMOKER.
Began Using Tobacco When He Was
Seven Months Old.

Winfield Doran is known as the smok-
ing baby of Trenton. He was 4 years
old last May, and he has been using
the weed for over three years and half.
He is bright boy, with big black eyes
and round rosy cheeks. His picture
could be used to adorn juvenile maga-
zine as a good specimen of happy and
healthy American boy. His mother is a
buxom, good-natured woman. The
father, W. T. Doran, is small, thin man,
and for many years he has been an in
veterate smoker. The taste for tobacco
was impaired to the baby, Winfield, and
he began putting tobacco smoke when
only seven months old. The Dorans re-
side at 303 South Warren street, and keep
boarders. The baby was the pet of the
household and the pride of the bachelor
boarders, who devoted each evening to
nursing him. While listening to the
nursery songs he learned to smoke. The
men would allow him to puff on their
pipes and were astonished to find it did
not make him sick.
When he was months old he smoked
a rank pipe full of tobacco and never as
much as made face. At ten months he
was an accomplished smoker of the pipe.
His appetite for tobacco was found to be
a normal one. He had every appearance
of thriving under it. The neighbors were
shocked and many of them indignant,
and DIR. Elmer Rogers was called. He
discovered no traces of nicotine poison
ing, and found that the tobacco had a
soothing effect on the child, who was
wcaned early, but never denied a pipe
full of tobacco every day. Now he tips
the beam at forty-ive pounds.
Both mother and father are proud of
this prccocious youngster, and they never
tire reciting "reminiscences of their boys
career as smoker. During the last two
years they have encouraged him to smoke
cigars in preference to the pipe. This
is precaution that they have taken at
the request of the physician, who thought
that the nicotine deposits in old pipes
might eventually be hurtful. The boy
evidently Graves the effect of the poison,
because the boy will not smoke new
clay pipe or a new brier pipe, preferring
to get one that has been well saturated
with nicotine. He prefers strong cigars,
and is fine judge of them. He attracted
much attention when he was pushed
about in baby coach with black pipe
in his mouth, smoking and putting like
veteran. He can now be frequently seen
sitting on the steps of his fathers house
smoking cigar.
The baby smoker differs from the ma
jority of the prodigious smokers in so
much that he has never smoked cigar
cite. The odor of the paper is distaste-
full to him, and he has been constantly
instructed to avoid the cigarette as he
would so much poison.
The boy has never been known to be
sick, and DR.. E. Rogers is of the opinion
that it is only a matter of few years
when he will have his appetite for tobacco
aappeased and will give up smoking.
Since the boy has been smoking he has
watched him almost daily, with view
of discovering the first symptom of nico-
tine poisoning, and has found nothing.

A Wonderful Stone.

Mr.. John McCraney, living near King
ston, Ga, has found most wonderful
stone. While plowing on a sandbar in
the Etowah river, he saw something shin
ing with the most brilliant of lights just
to one side of him. He stopped his plow
and went to pick it up. 1t was clear
white stone, the size of an egg, rejecting
in one way all the colors of the rainbow.
Turning it over, the colors took on the
character of aspirit level, following each
other up through the centre of the rock
till all were gathered in one end. Mr..
McCraney has been offered 81, 900 for it
but refused it. He will take it to At
lanta to have it tested. 1t may be dia-
mond. 1t emits perfectly white light

England's Hot Wednesday.

July 13, 1908, continued to be remem-
bered for more than half century through
the rural districts of England as the Hot

horses and other animals died under the
oppression of a temperature SO unusual

peratures are the subjoined, as to which

over the country lie uncultivated for this
reason alone. To remedy this condition
of affairs, strong society for the preser-
walton of horned cattle has been organ
lied. But this immense annual loss of
cattle has more serious effect in the fact
that India is thus obliged to import dairy
produce from Asiatic countries for her
domestic consumption, thus raising the
price of such produce beyond the means
OF the poorer classes. To this cause is
attributed the high annual death rate
among young children, which constitutes
fully one-half the total mortality
throughout all India.

A Trapeze Episode.

In Geneva, Switzerland, at a circus, a
female trapeze performer, Mile: Mathilde,
astonished the natives every night by her
performances with youth of about
seventeen high up in the air, One even
ing this youth, by his own carelessness,
slipped from the hands Of the girl, who
hung by her knees. A cry of horror
arose from the audience, when she luckily
caught him with her teeth by the en-
broidery over the breast of his tights.
She pulled him up into a sitting position
on the trapeze, then boxed his ears vigor-
ously and made him go through the per-
formance again-this time without fault.
