Havana's Streets.

A newspaper writer who has been
doing Havana dwells at some length on
her streets He reports that the side
walks "are usually about one foot
wide You balance yourself on the
curbstone," he adds, 'and walk along
as though walking on a pole fence.
About every second person you meet is
colored woman with a big laundry
basket on her head. At first it is lit
tie awkward, but before you have been
there long you get SO that you can pass
the laundry woman without knocking
the basket off her head, and, If you
stay there long enough, you could get
a job in most any circus as ropewalker.
On the principal streets the sidewalks
are little better, but 2 1-2 feet is con-
sidered very wide sidewalk"

The trees seem to grow better in the
heart of the city than in its outskirts.
Those along the Thames embankment
are peculiarly fourishing In Trafalgar
square they have dwindled a little.
The tree in the northeast corner seems
dying, and another near it on the east
side wants a little looking TO. OF
course the source of delicacy is not city
smoke, but sewer gas. In front of the
National gallery well clipped bay trees,
growing in roomy tubs-the gift of the
Metropolitan Gardens association-give
a little grateful color where it is most
needed.
The success is so great-the green
looks so well next the gray stone-that
it is curious the experiment is not
pushed little farther The yard be-
tween the railing and the facade of the
building might easily be sodded over.

Some Diminutives.

An examiner was dealing with gram
matical diminutives, and particularly
with the force of the suffix kin-manni-
kin. little man, etc. On his asking
the lads to give him few examples OF
such ''diminutives, number of eager
hands were soon raised.
The gentleman, much gratified at
such a ready response to his question,
pointed to one of the lads for an an
swer
'Lanbkin, little lamb" was the
reply.
Very good, indeed" said the ex-
aminer and pointed to another lad.
''Tomkin, little Tom" was the an
swer
The gentleman somewhat demurred
at this, but finally accepted it. He
then pointed to still another lad.
"Buskin, little 'busl" was the re-
sponse.
The examiners countenance fell.
Now, my lads" he pleaded, do take
time before you speak. The last an
swer was altogether wrong" And he
pointed to little fellow behind, who
had been trying to attract his attention.

A PIous Druuhmer.

President G. Stanley Hall, of Clark
university, tells the following story;
Some years ago John Warren, well
known TO old residents of Ashfleld,
started out as IA drummer to sell
leather from Mr. William Bryant's
tannery About this time he was
converted and he forthwith began
to carry as samples poorer quality
of leather than the average product OF
the tannery, for fear the goods when
delivered might not be equal to the
sample. He wus so all fired honest,
said one of the village worthies in re
lating the circumstance, that he pretty
nigh run the old tannery clean out by
selling from such darned poor sam

TURF TOPICS.

Over twenty trotters entered the 2:30
list In Kentucky in one day this season
According TO the assessors reports
there are 100000 horses in the state of
Montana
The trotting stallion record has been
reduced as follows since 1875: Smuggler,
2l5t; Phallas, 2,13s; Maxey Cobb, 2:13t;
Axtell 2;12; Nelson, 21Oa; Allerton,
209i
The PAGER. Maggie r. that last season
made a record OF 2:15i, has been pur-
chased by Monroe Salisbury, the well
known California breeder, and will prob
ably be put TO breeding,
The Boston Globe says that the great
stallion Nelson was such miserable,
scraggy looking colt, that q. II. Nielsen
would have sold him for 5000 Nelson
has since been offered 100000 for the
great trotter
The present trotting season has been
an exceptional one as regards the num-
ber OF horses that have obtained record
Of eco or better. This may be gathered
from the fact that something like sew
enty have become eligible.
The fastest new 2:30 trotter last year,
as well as this. was converted PAGER.

A List Of Lucky Things To Do.

1t Is considered lucky TO accept the
first bid offered for an article in the
morning, or to spit upon the first coin
received. or for an unmarried person
to be seated inadvertently between a
married couple at the dinner table, as
he or she will find partner within
the year. A black snail tossed by the
horns over the left shoulder will bring
good luck. as will an egg upon which
the shell is not formed if tossed over
the barn.
To carry a crust of bread or bent
cold. OF a coin with a hole in it in the
pocket is considered lucky, or to find a
horseshoe or four leaved clover. 1t
will bring luck to throw into the fire
the first tooth extracted from a child,
or to see the moon over the right
shoulder or to place a knife near a
sleeping child. Philadelphia Ledger.

Everlasting Car Wheels.

In an account of the works of the
Northern Railroad of France it is stated
that they have an ingenious plan in the
interests of economy of making wheels
for cars by bending up seven pieces OF
bar iron in such shape that the center
fits inside of a band or false felloe,
which, in turn, is hammered into a
groove in the tire. Felloe and bar are
riveted together and the bars bent
round to the center of the wheel and
their ends then have a mold placed
below them; cast iron is then run in,
forming the hub, which is afterward
bored out and the cast steel axle forced
in by 55. 600 to 66, 900 pounds hydraulic
pressure. The life of the center of the
wheel is said to be practically intermin.
able under ordinary conditions, and the
cheapness is such that they are now
adopted almost entirely.

A seed much used for ornament /:
that which bears the popular name OF
Jobs Tears. The old botanist Gerarde
thus describes it Every graine resem-
bleth the drop or tear that falleth from
the eye" There are, however, now
three or four well marked forms of this
seed met with in India. which differ
from each other in shape, color and de
gree of hardness, and in the presence
or absence of grooves or burrows along
the length Of the hardened involucer.
Dr. Watt, of Calcutta, thus emu
merates them: There are three types
of shape-a long cylindrical or tubular,
a normal pear shaped condition and q
fiattened spberoidal form. The cylin
drical grain is always of white color,
smooth. polished, not furrowed, but
CONSTRUCTED toward both extremities.
This is collected for ornamental pur.
poses only. and not as an article for
food. The pear shaped form varies in
size and color, being pale and blush
white. gray. yellow or brown black.
The tIattened spherodal kinds are often
yellow. or even pink.
THE two principal forms are-one al
most round and either white or black
This form is sometimes, though less fre-
quently, used for rosaries and orna-
mental purposes, but chiefly for food
among the hill tribes of India. The
second form is tubular, about half an
inch long. This is extensively employed
for decorative purposes, the dresses
worn by the Karen women being often
completely covered with embroidered
designs of this grain. ."-Chambers' Jour

THE CHURCH AND STATE
Interesting Sermon at the Union Services
at Shadyside.

Interesting Sermon at the Union Services
at shadyside.
The Shadvsidc Presbyterian Church, the
Bellefeld Presbyterian Church and the
Oakland NJ. E. Church held their annual
Thanksgiving service yesterday morning at
the Shadyside Church. Special music was
a feature of the services The church was
prettily decorated. The altar was entwined
with green. Plants and ferns were placed
at various parts of the church. Rev.
R. S. Holmes, of the Shadyside congrega-
tion, had charge OF the services. Rev. Dr.
McClelland, of the Bellefeld Church, and
Rev. W. J. Holland, Chancellor of the
Western University, took part Rev. T. B.
Eaton, of the Oakland NJ E. Church,
preached the sermon. The speaker referred
TO the prosperous times that have been
enjoyed in this country during the past
wear, to the proclamations of President
Harrison and Governor Pattison, and spoke
of their recommendations to observe the
dav. He said the American should thank
God for his citizenship, and then said:
I'm our State religion must work through
the individual to the State, and not through
the State to the individual. The limit is an
exceedingly narrow one, within which YOU
can by State interference make people
devout, honest or even temperate. The
slowest and most unsatisfactory bust
ness in which one can engage is
that of trying to lift the world by appeal
after appeal to irreligious and often i'm
moral Legislators for action favorable to
moral and religious matters L emphasize
Christian citizenship as the point where the
church and State meet and clasp hands The
problems Of citizenship, which have hereto
fore defied solution, will quietly work them
selves out under such dominion, and the
Republic will stand to bless the world and
lead all nations
