THE poGcArHER,s RUNAWAY.

The negro dogcatcher had narrow es-
cape from serious injury yesterday after
noon by his horse running away The
mishap occurred about clock on south
Emporia avenue, and was caused by one
of the shaft bolts working out and letting
the shafts down on the animals heels.
The dogcatcher had hold of the lines and
was walking beside the wagon when
the horse commenced running; he
was jerked down and dragged
about 100 yards, but fortunately without
any more injury to himself than a skinned
elbow. Here the horse broke loose from
the wagon and ran north on the avenue to
the alley that runs back of the Carey,
which he turned into, going out through
to Fourth avenue. where he was captured.
There were several dogs of various pedi-
grees and colors in the wagon at the time,
and all of them showed plainly by their
actions that they were as much excited
over the matter as the half hundred people
vino rushed out 10 look on. The damage
to the wagon consisted oft brokens single
tree, while the harness suffered a few
breaks.

Some Of the people uttered indignant
and sarcastic remarks, such as "Do you
want any help, officer?' "Look ont, Mr..
Policeman; he'll trip you up" But the
officer paid no attention to the crowd.
He grimly marched his prisoner TO the
Forty-second street exit Of the station,
and with twinkle in his eye he lifted
the child in his arms and addressed him
sternly thus: Prisoner at the bar. you

sanitation at Cheap Restaurants.

The frequenters Of some of the cheap
restaurants Of our large towns would
probably suffer from painful falling off
in the appetite were they first TO pay u
visit to the kitchens from which their
savory morsels come. In the interests Of
their hunger they doubtless show sound
discretion in taking the goods the gods
of the gridiron send them without ques-
tioning or denur. On the other hand,
in the interest of sanitation and public
welfare, it is quite as important that the
cleanliness of our restaurant kitchens
should be beyond suspicion as that of
our baking establishments.
The local authorities are empowered
by the sanitary acts to deal with any
work place which is not kept in a Clearly
state. or not properly ventilated, etc., so
as to be injurious or dangerous to health.
1t would be interesting to know what
attention the local authorities have
shown to these Establishments Hospi-

Peculiar Chinese rnrnish.

The British consul at Hankow, in his
report, mentions that the varnish ex-
ported from that port is the gum of the
rhus vernicifera. On this tree before
daylight missions are made; the gum
that runs out is collected in the dark and
strained through a cotton cloth bag,
leaving behind large amount of dirt
and refuse.
This operation can only be performed
in the dark, as light spoils the gum and
causes it to cake, with all the dirt in it.
1t cannot be strained in wet weather, as
moisture causes it to solidify. When
the Chinese use the varnish they rub 1t
on with a sort Of mop made of soft waste
ilk. 1t should also be used in wet
weather, as, if the atmosphere is dry
when it is rubbed on it will always be
sticky. As used by the Chinese it takes
about month to dry. During the time
it is drying it is poisonous to the eyes

THE PLOWMAN.

When the tired plowman his plowstock leaves
In the growing corn, as the sun goes down,
And the sky is as rich as cleaners sheaves
In flowers Of crimson and purple and brown.
will wait in the rare and wondrous caves
And watch. as the loom OF the sunset weaves
Its fabric of gold over country and town.
And think of the springs that have come and
gone
Since we saw the shuttle across the blue
That wrought in colors of dusk and dawn,
When the musk of the sleeping roses flew
On the breath Of the south wind over the lawn,
And the evening shadows were longer drawn
And the sun was low, and the stars were few
And youth was fair in the lives we led,
It's memories inger in this latter Spring,
And live in the flowers, the books we read.
The kiss she gave me in the grapevine swing,
In words and works, TO be filed and fed
On the wasted honey and wasted bread,
And sung in the songs she used TO sing.
Though the lily and rose have lost their leaves
In the ashes of Summers of long ago,
They come, through the rare and wondrous
ewes,
In the crop of love we used to SOW,
AS rich as the garland5 the sunset weaves
When the tired plownan his labor leaves
In the fragrant corn. and the sun is low.

A Man Who Tried to BE a Giant

John Laws Milton. an English writer
and author. states that in his youthful
days he wanted to be a giant, "and sew
eral times thought he had discovered an
infallible method Of attaining the object
of his ambition, such as overlooking.
stretching by dint Of violent jerks from
beams, etc, to the great amazement Of
his relatives and friends" Mr.. Milton
may well congratulate himself that he
did not succeed, as giants are seldom
bright in intellect. rarely in good health
and universally shortlived. Rapid de-
cay seems to naturally follow rapid and
excessive development. - New York
Times.
