Mayor Washburn, who received SO
much praise at the beginning of his adj
ministration, from what is called the
better element of Chicagos population,
by closing the gambling dens of the city,
has lately shocked his applauders by an
nouncing that he is thoroughly German

They are now cycling him suspiciously.

There is n specimen fiend abroad, in
winter weather especially, whom it were
Calumny to call human. The sole OBJ
ject for which this fiend prowls the earth
is TO steal up to you and put
an icy hand on some exposed part of
your person with the inquiry, Aren't
my hands cold9' The shock is enough
to kill you, but it is not the purpose of
your tormentor to put you to death
speedily. 1t Is his purpose, rather, to
reserve you for experimental practice.
Winter weather lasts in this climate
from our to five months, and he aims to
get in his fine work from two to three
times n day for that period.
Often the fiend is related to you by
ties Of consequently, aud occasionally
he is on terms OF intimacy that admit of
the dwelling beneath the same roof, but
neither ties of blood nor bonds of friend
ship can palliate his offense. There
should be a penalty fitted to the crime,

being victimized to the extent that |

has fallen since November, and the little

nothing to flush springs or fill ponds,

For farmers who keep much live stock
the outlook is not cheering, as the
chances Of early feed are poor indeed. 1t
is true that any promise Of feed at this

often delusive, but this year, when mild
weather comes, a start will be made
with bare pastures and u very poor pros

The big feet Of white painted. side
wheel summer excursion boats are in the
midst Of their long winter rest at the
South Brooklyn basins. Viewed from
the decks of the Thirty-ninth street ferry
boat they form a picturesque spectacle
as they lie side by side or in long lines
among the tall masted black ocean sail
ing craft and steamships. They are in
contrasting positions also with many
small and graceful yachts, which are
slumbering away the time until the
spring breezes will stretch their sails and
they viii skip out to see old ocean again.
Not all the iron steamships of the Coney
Island line are among the idle white
hulled sidewheelers. One of them at
least took the perflous and venturesome
voyage by ocean to Florida and, with a
band of music on board to tempt the
tourist to choose her ahead of her rival,
is daily making the trip from Jackson
vile to Palatka on the st. Johns river,
in Florida. When with returning warm
weather the land Of flowers ceases to al
lure and Coney Islands charms return
TO bloom again, the long ocean trip in
the pleasure boat must be taken again,
but it is safe to say not many will bid
for the task of reaching New York past
stormy Hatteras by that trip.-Brooklyn

Great quantities of buttons are now
made from potatoes. 1t is not generally
known that If the substance OF the com.
mon Irish potato be treated with certain
acids it becomes almost as hard as stone,
and can be used for many purposes for
which horn. ivory and bone are employed.
This quality of the potato adapts it to but.
ton making, and a very good grade of but
ton is now made from the well known
tuber. The potato button cannot be dis
tinguished from others save by a careful
examination, and even then only by an ex-
pert, since they are colored to suit the
goods on which they are to be used. and
are every whit as good looking as a button
of bone or ivory. Their cheapness is a
great recommendation, and will no doubt
lead to a much larger employment in the
future. Interview in st. Louis Globe-Dem,
