March %, 1841, Thomas Thompson
lifted three barrels of water, weighing
together 1886 pounds. He also put
an iron bar on his neck, seized hold of
its two ends, and bent it until the lat
ter met. On another occasion he
raised with his teeth, table six feet
long, supporting at its further end a
weight of 100 pounds. He also tore
without serious effort rope Of di-
ameter of two inches, and lifted a
horse over bar. Some years ago a
negro appeared in London who, with
one hand and his arm out straight,
lifted from the ground a chair on which
was seated a full-grown man having on
his lap a child. 1t is on record that a
German called Buchholz lifted with his
teeth a cannon weighing about 200
pounds, and fired it off in that position.
While performing at Epernay. in
France, the same feat, the barrel OF
the gun burst. Miraculously he was
not killed, although several of the
fragments were thrown over fifty yards
away. There are stories of other
strong men who did not appear in pub
lie. A butcher lived in South Holland
who killed calves by strangling them.
A Dutch count in private entertain
ment. bent an iron bar by beating it
with his right hand against his left
arm, protected by leather bandage,
bending it afterward straight again by
beating it the other way. Charles
Louvier, a carpenter of Paris, found il
child's play to roll tin basin between
his fingers into cylinder. On one occa-
sion he carried off soldier on guard
who had gone to sleep in the sentry
box, depositing both on a low chuch-
yard wall close by. An equally anus
ing story is told of a Dane, Knut
Kundson, locksmith, who, while
standing in window on the ground
floor, lifted with one hand half bull
lock from the shoulder of butcher
who was toiling past with his load.

A Difference I'm Boys.

There is vast difference between
the ways and ideas Of amusement OF
the small boy uptown and the small
boy downtown who makes his living
by selling papers, shining muddy boots
or being messenger. For instance,
the downtown newsboy scorns to throw
snowballs as q usual thing. He will
shake dice, match" coppers or smoke
cigarettes and discuss some some mel.

cry theatre, but he absolutely declines
to throw snowballs. On the other
hand, his more innocent brother seven
or eight miles higher up on the island
still clings to the good old fashioned

everybody with a SNOWFALL. That's
all association, of course. New York

Italian Occupations.

wax matches, quite as good as the
imported ones, are now made in large
quantities by Italian immigrants in
New York and Brooklyn. In New
York the Italians also prepare maca.
roni vern-icelli, bologna and other
sausages, and cream cheese. The tri-
hing sum which they earn in boot
backing and by the sale OF fruits and
candies or by organ grinding seems
very large in their eyes, and their
poor friends at home are fascinated by
what they hear of the riches to be had
in America, and so emigrate in large
numbers. One of the most prosperous
restaurants on Union square is owned
by an Italian who gained a small for
