The RoOfs OF the Big City Are Put q

The RoO1s OF the Big City Are Put to
Many Curious Uses.
The other day the newspapers told the
story Of how some girls on one roof flirt-
cd with young man on another roof,
and how the young man, in endeavoring
to 60 from his roof to theirs, slipped and
fen-into eternity. To how many even
in New York, did that news paragraph
suggest the important part the roofs
play in this city. We have all heard OF
the roofs of Jerusalem, much the finest
features OF the town, no doubt-yet the
whole OF Jerusalem is trifie compared
to the life on the roofs of New York. In
place where land is valued as it is ON
this island, there is great city under
ground and great fraction Of the life
OF the place is spent on the roofs. In
the summer the tenement roofs are the
pleasure resorts OF the poor. Begin
ming at Baxter street and continuing
north to Harlem, on the east side, the
demand for sleeping places on the cool
and breezy roofs is 30 great that only
first corners find places-the tardy ones
find no sleeping room left. 1t has al
ways boon astonishing to me that no
artist makes and no journal prints a pic
turol of a midsummernight scene on o
roof say in baxter. or Forsyth or Null
berry street. The crowding of the
sleepers their light attire, particularly
that Of the men and boys, and the dis
comfort the scene suggests would open
the eyes OF Chatters readers to condi-
tions they never dreamed had existence.
Then, too, the tenement roofs are
greatly in use as bathrooms on early
summer evenings There the boys and
girls dance to the music of mouth-or-
gans and accordions. They are great
places for lovers to WOO in. The parks
and the roofs are the courting-grounds
of the poor, for there is no privacy in
the tiny crowded homes. The roofs OF
hundreds of the cheaper apartment
houses are the clothes-drying grounds,
and the tenants are obliged to agree to
take their turns at this use Of the space,
the frst-hoor tenants having the roof on
Mondays, the second-foor tenants on
Tuesdays, and so on.
Leaving these crowded hives we turn
to what the English call the ''self-con'
tanned" or separate dwellings, and here
again the roofs are utilized. Some are
quite deliberately fitted up in summer
with potted flowers and awnings, and
swinging hammocks-even with cots al
night We know Of one which supports
a glass-inclosed apartment with bath
tank for use all the year around. New
York has concert hall on roof as
every one knows, and tho roof Of the
palatial Equitable Building is one of the
show places of the city, the best place
from which to view all the other roof
that shelter 3,75O,OO persons in ant
around town. From there and from thu
Brooklyn Bridge you can see that bus
inesses are also carried on above thu
garrets, the businesses of solar printing
of pelt and fur drying, Of preparing
rushes, wicker stuff for chairs and man,
other callings-more than any OF us ar,
aware of.-Chatter.

STORIES OF ANIMALS.
A Gander's Love and Devotion and
Mules Implacablo Hatred.

A Gander's Love and Devotion and o
Mules Implacablo Hatred.
Some years ago tho only white resi-
don't on Louisiana plantation was an
old gentleman who was very fond Of ami
mails. He had dogs, cats and a pet
motherless pig. During his life there a
goose and all her brood were destroyed
by "varmints," as the darkies say, with
the exception OF one wee bird.
The old gentleman was sorry for the
motherless gosling, and fed it himself,
watching it and keeping off other crea-
lures while it ate its butter-milk and
bread from a pan which he had prepared
FOR it. So, as might have been expect
ed, the gosling became very much at
tached to him, and followed him every
where-even miles into the plantation
when he was riding over it looking after
the crops. 1t grew to be fine gander,
and at meal time would sit at the din
ing-room door and watch, occasionally
poking Its head in, but never Offering to
stir from the spot until the meal was
over e Then it would goble goose fash
ion, as much as to say: at is high time
had something to eat"
One night in summer when the doors
we're left open, the gander came to its
masters room and made such noise no
could not sleep He drove it away sew
eral times But itcame back each time,
and at last nibbled at the bed clothes.
The gentleman then got up, thinking
surely the creature did mean to tell him
something was wrong. So he followed
it into the back yard and found that his
fence had been pulled down by some
wicked people and herd Of cattle was
devouring his corn. .st.-
Now, who would think goose had SO
much sense? ''''t ....'t
On this same gentleman's place was q
negro who was 80 cruel to one of the
mules that the gentleman discharged
him from his service, Several years
passed, and one day the negro had occs.
sion to return. He went through the
barn-yard where this mule was. The
mule had not forgotten his old injuries,
and as soon as he recognized his porse'
cutor he made for him and chased him
round and round the lot. 1t was inn
possible to escape over the high fence,
or through the large heavy gate, SC
rapid and persistent was the pursuit Of
the animal; and il assistance had not
come in time it is likely the negro would
have been killed.
So, you see, animals can both love and
hate.-Detroit Free Press.
