Worrying Ticket Sellers.

"What are you doing that forf'' asked
the writer of a downtown elevator boy,
who was industriously hacking the edges
of nickel with sharp knife.

he replied, as he started the elevator with
a velocity that doubled up the knees of a
puny looking man who wanted to go to the
top floor.
who are the II rakes!'
He left two girls on the second floor, and
blew chewed wad at messenger boy on
the third; then he answered:
''De rakes are de fellows wat pull in de
coin at de elevated station windows. Dey
tink der mighty slick in maxim change,
and de lazy way dey slide it out makes you
tired. But we fellers ere on to 'em. We
whites sharp edges on coin like dis and

paws it, but it don't rake. He tries it

last night. We mixed up in - o'clock
crowd and each of US had cut coin. De
ticket man was slidin' change his purtiest
when lad chucked down nickel with
whiskers on. He pulled at it six times and
then had to pick it up.
after few people had passed I struck
him wild sharpened dime. 1t took him a
minute to rake it in and gimme change,
and a Hollum train went up wild big

A Gorgeous Curtain.

The curtain at the English Opera house
Is one OF its sights. As it hangs closed it
looks like a magnificent pair of golden
gates. 1t was made by Messrs. Helbronner,
of Oxford street. 1t measures thirty-three
feet high and is forty-eight feet wide A
special wareroom had to be hired for il 10
be made in The base is gold colored silk,
on which has been worked an applique OF
a darker tone of the same color. The ap-
plique-a iorated adaptation of fruit and
foliage, pineapples and pomegranstes, con-
ventionally treated-is of the Renaissance
period. and is from design by the archi-
tect. ingeniously carried out by Messrs
Helbronner.
The applique is outlined b. fine cord of
silk; fringe with tassels decorates the foot
of the curtain The silk is about yard wide
and there are between five and six hun
dred yards of it, and more than thirty gross
of cord have been used in the curtain The
silk was made in Lyons and the cord and
fringe in London. The lining is of yellow
sateen, and the substance Of the curtain is
obtained by layers OF wadding. The valance
is also applique work IN bright reds, blues,
yellows and browns, and has been carried
out by the same embroiderers.-Pail Mall

A CHAPTER OF QUEER ACCIDENTS.
Perplexities OF . Nearsighted Man Who
Left His Glasses at Home.

Perplexities OF Nearsighted Nan Who
Left His Glasses at Home.
A nearsighted bookkeeper carelessly left
his eyeglasses at home the other morning,
and had half days experience that he
will not forget or care to repeat as long as
he lives. He was in great hurry TO catch
the car, and rushed out of the house shout
ing farewell to his wife as he passed
through the door, There was large sized
puddle in front of his residence, and the
first step that he took off the curbstone
was directly into IL That utterly ruined
the polish on one shoe, and imagining that
he saw a firm place ahead Of him he made
a leap for that and went into the mud
with the other foot.
He narrowly escaped being run over by a
team hitched to a brewery wagon, and al
most missed the rail Of the car as it passed
by him. As he scrambled to the platform
he trod heavily upon the pet bunion of a
stout old gentleman, who uttered a howl
Of anguish, and turning TO apologize
knocked dinner basket out of the hand
of an office boy going TO his work When
the conductor came to collect his fare he
offered him three cent piece and then a
nickel penny. By this time those who
were near looked pityingly upon him. He
searched through his pockets for his
glasses, and to his great annoyance discov-
cred that they were missing. There was
no help for it, and he decided to keep on to
the Office and send boy back for them.
When the car arrived at the corner Of
Bank and Superior streets he FASTENED to
alight and almost embraced stern female,
who gave him look that would have pet
rifed him could he have seen it. He raised
his hat and begged her pardon for the col
lision, and as he did so the conductor bent
forward to assist the lady onto the car and
knocked the hat out of the nearsighted
mans hand to the ground. The latter
peered blindly forward in the direction IN
which he thought the hat might lie, but
could not discover it. The conductor
jumped off the car, and picking up the hat
restored it to its owner.
The bookkeeper reached his Office with
out any further accident. He sent the
Office boy to his residence for his glasses
and sat down at his desk to work az best
he could until the messenger returned. In
five minutes he had written with red ink
upon the wrong book, and as he reached
for the eraser he knocked over another ink
bottle, and the contents thoroughly satu-
rated pile of statements that he had spent
the entire previous day in making out.
While attempting to stop the flow of ink
he daubed it upon his coat and cuffs, and
finally sat down in the corner, lit cigar,
and painted the air blue until the glasses
came with the messenger. His hurry to
catch the street car cost him about twenty
five dollars, to say nothing of wear and
tear Of nervous energy.-ClevelandL Leader

Classified Sinners.

Eight sinners came forward for prayers
last night" said a gentleman conducting
revival services in this city; eight sinners.
some of them OF the very highest social
standing, and some Of no standing AT all F"
What would John Wesley have said 70
such a speech as that, or what his inspired
brother Charles' Social standing discussed
at the altar.
A story Is related that when one day the
Duke of Wellington was kneeling at the
altar 10 partake of the communion peas
ant knelt by his side for the same religious
purpose. An officious person standing by
whispered in words the Iron Duke could
not but overhear: Gene away from there.

him remain" interrupted the duke; there

ished friends Is the philosopher Herbers
Spencer, an Eng1ishman now over seventy
years OF age, and one Of the chief advocates
OF the doctrine of evolution. Eariy IN his
literary career be became firm believer
that all organized beings have arisen by
development. In 1854 he first conceived of
evolution as a universal process, and later
came to the conclusion that it must be-
come the basis of any system of philosophy
which represents and conforms to the gen
eral method of nature" His chief claim
to permanent remembrance must rest on
the volumes which explain his System of
Synthetic Philosophy" and which will al
ways remain standard and an authority
for thinkers.
The other survivor of the distinguished
coterie Is Professor John Tyndall. He was
born in 1920, which was also the year of
Spencer's birth, but he did net have the
early advantages enjoyed BY the latter.
His parents were humble residents of Car
low, Ireland, and could do little toward
launching their son on career. The boy,
therefore, made one for himself He studied
mathematics, got work as a civil engineer,
and in 1913 toiled from dawn to dark for q
salary Of twenty shillings week. After
ward he filled place as teacher in col
lege Of technical education He saved his
pennies, went to Germany, and while there
studied sixteen hours day that he might
miss nothing" In 1855 he visited Switzer-
land with Professor Huxley and began his
researches regarding the phenomena of
glaciers. What he has done for science
can be suggested by quoting the titles Of
some of his books: Forms of Water in
Clouds and Rivers, Ice and Glaciers"
Heat as Mode of Notion" Notes on
Electricity and Light" and Floating Mat
ter in the Air in Relation to Putrefaction
and Infection"
Outside his recognized life work two
things have in their time brought Profes-
sor Tyndall prominently before the public.
One was his quarrel with Gladstone re-
garding Irish affairs, and the other his
famous proposition to institute a prayer
test. In the latter case he suggested that
patients equally Ill should be selected,
half of them to be given the best medical
treatment and the other half to be prayed
for but not doctored. The proposal Gre
ated sensation and much comment, but
the test was never made.

In eating they have peculiar habit of
gulping everything down whole. Even IN
drinking water they swallow it in large
gulps, as though it were solid instead OF
a fluid They are remarkably expert at
catching in their mouths anything thrown
to them. They expect every visitor to feed
them, and one wants no better amusement
than TO feed out a bunch of grapes by
throwing one grape at time IN their
midst The grape never touches the
ground. y dozen heads dive for it, the
one with the longest neck usually gets it.,
and the others get anything from a mouth
full of air to the head Of another ostrich
Throw a few apples or oranges in quick
succession TO an ostrich, and you will see
an equal number of Jumps a few inches
apart working their way down the long
neck.
The keeper Of this farm relates a story Of
a gentleman who came into the kraal
smoking a heavy meerschaum pipe. He
had been cautioned TO look out for it, but
he thought no sensible ostrich could posi-
bly, have any use for a meerschaum pipe.
The ostrich came about looking for some
thing to eat, but nothing had been pro
vided, and "Old Lightning" rather looked
upon it as a breach Of etiquette Watching
his chance he grabbed the pipe, made one
gulp and it was out of sight. The keeper
had seen the movement in time to catch
the ostrich around the neck and trip him
to the ground. AS the bowl OF the pipe
was large and the stem crooked IL had not
got far on its journey. By pressing on the
neck below the pipe it was recovered none
the worse for the adventure. and the to
bacco in it still burning. The gentleman
now values that pipe very highly, not Sc
much on account OF its intrinsic value as
its associations
