New Yorker. Are Afraid Of wires.

New Yorksrs Are Afraid of Wires
A new practical application OF cleo
tricity Is an apparatus 10 light cigars.
The machine is connected by a wire
with one Of the ordinary light currents,
and by touching a button a small but
bright electric spark is produced, at
which one can ignite the ordinary rod
saturated with alcohol. One of these ap-
paratus had Just been placed upon the
cigar counter Of a big down town res
taurant. Its use was somewhat unfa-
miiar to the habitues of the place, and
was told to watch them. AS various
gentlemen finished their lunch they
usually approached the cigar stand to
light their weeds.
In several cases they hesitated to ap-
ply the rod to the electric spark even
after the process was explained to them,
although the handle of the rod was evil
IDENTIFY composed of hard rubber or some
other insulated material. Finally an
elderly gentleman approached the ma
chine, and on being told how it worked
insisted on holding the point of the rod
about two inches away from the light,
giving as an explanation his disinclina-
tion to monkey with electric currents. +"
A bystander had finally to light it for
him. This goes to show that the public
is somewhat afraid of live wires.-New
York Star.

probably never more forcibly illustrated

fifty persons, and only one observed the
act A diminutive Park row hoodlum
was swinging on the chain that guards
a hatchway in the basement of The
Tribune building at that hour. Sudden
ly one end of the chain broke and struck
the plate window of the mineral water
store and smashed it. The hoodlum was
paralyzed for second at the damage he
had done, but he did not hnger to make
any inquiries. He recovered quickly,
and few across the square at Salvador

to take any action. The proprietor and

was broken until they read this.-New

girls found some unusual specimens and
planted them at home. Shortly the
mother discovered among the collection
a small pumpkin vine, which was duly

blooming nicely. A small pumpkin
came, and when harvested it weighed
forty-two pounds. Its species is yelled

Early Autumn.

The country lanes are bright with bloom.
And gentle airs come stealing through
Laden with native viii perfume
OF balm and Eunt and honey dew,
And o'er the summers radiant flush
Lies early autumn's dreamy hush
In wayside hooks the asters gieam,
And frost flowers dance about the sod,
While. lapsing by, the silent stream
Reflects the hue OF golden rod,
That flower which lights a dusky day
With something Of the sun gods ray.
The grapevine chambers o'etfhe hedge
In golden festools; suniacs burn
Like torches on the distant ledge.
Or light the lane at every turn.
And IVY riots everywhere
In blood red banners on the air.
A purple mist Of fragrant mint
Borders the fences, drifting out
OF fostering corners, and its tint,
As half Of cheer and half OF doubt,
Is like the dear delightful haze
Which robes the hills these autumn days
And strange wild growths are newly met;
Odd things but little priced of yore.
Like some old jewel well reset,
Take on a worth unseen before,
As cock. in spring graceless weed,
Is brilliant in its autumn seed.
The cricket and the katydid
Pipe how their sad prophetic tune,
Though airs pulse warm the leaves amid,
As played around the heart of June;
So minor strains break on the heart,
Foretelling age as years depart.
The sweet old story Of the year
Is spinning onward to its close,
Yet sounds as welcome on the ear
AS in the time Of op'ning rose.
Hay life for all as sweetly wane
As comes the autumn time againl
