1t is just like Paris or London, you
know was the excited comment OF "a
lady seated high up on the roof Of a
Fifth avenue stage. And if it isn't
lust like" this ride up from the Wash
ington arch to Central park is a strong
reminder of London from the Knife
board" and the pleasant hours to be
spent on top Of the Partisan buses. In
New York the possession of the roof is
most vigorously contested by ladies.
1t is the vantage grUund from which
the visitor to the metropolis gets the
best view Of the stored wealth and
grandeur Of Fifth avenue In the cool
Of the evening it is where tired shop
girls and their ardent escorts, young
couples arrayed in their best suits of
clothes, take a happy evening out above
the maddening crowd. Ten cents a pair
goes UNNECESSARILY further on top Of a
Fifth avenu stage than twice the money
in ice cream. The inside Of the stage
may be empty-it usually is in fair
weather as long as n vacant seat re-
mains on top, The seeker after fresh air
and the sights of the streets declines to
ride anywhere else but on the roof.
If four times the number of coaches
were run the roof seats could contain
but a small proportion Of those who de-
light to use them at certain hours of the
day. If you desire to enjoy the finest
street Of residences in the world from
the most advantageous point of view
you must 60 down to Washington place
and start with the stage. And right
there is where you occasionally get the
additional treat Of a dozen half hysterical
women and shouting young girls scra1n-
bling up a steep, crooked, 8-inch stair
way for the first time. From that time
you will probably think the abolition of
the old Broadway stage was a mistake,
and that all they needed was a double
row Of roof seats to have converted them
into a joy forever.-New York Herald,

A Vegetable Bouquet.

While | stood in a Sixth avenue drug
store the other evening an old man,
poorly clad, entered and bought a bottle
Of perfumery, which he sprinkled over a
bed of what looked like cut flowers in a
tray he carried upon his arm.
He asked me to buy a bunch. "Only
five cents" he said. My bouquet con-
sisted Of three roses. The white rose
wa a turnip, delicately carved; the yell
low rose was made from q carrot and
the red one from a beet.
The old mans skill IN duplicating
flowers in vegetables was certainly adj
mirable and the perfumed spray made
the illusion complete. New York Her

4 New Catarrh Remedy.

Vaseline spray for catarrh and throat
troubles is a new thing to most Of the
members Of the medical association. DR..
j. W. Moore, however, says that as long
as twenty years ago DR.. Rumbold, of st.
Louis, discovered the merits of the treat
ment. He has pursued it exer since. For
thirty years DR.. Rumbold made a special
study Of nose, throat and ear infiamma-
tions. His conclusions were that the
usual remedies were too strong and
caused too violent reactions. Ia expert
menting with milder methods he finally
took up vaseline and has used it to the
present time. With the other remedies
water has been used for cleansing pur-
poses.
"While water is the best thing for
keeping the outer surface OF the body
clean," DR.. Moore says, "it is not the
thing to apply to the mucous membrane
of the nose. That membrane absorbs
the water and puts the patient in condi-
ton to catch cold again. The way to
clean the nose is to spray it with vase
line. That not only cleans, but it leaves
the membrane protected and the danger
of fresh cold is prevented. OF course
the yaseline must be warmed sufficiently
to melt. It is then applied by an atomizer,
and that is the new treatment for nose
and throat complaints. It seems mild
and simple, and SO it is, but it is taking
the place Of the more radicCl treatment
for catarrhal troubles. "-Washington

IN LOVERS WALK.

In Lovers Walk the wind - .Tild;
To right and left the ave- are piled.
Or wrilhe amid the branches bare,
Or pad the runways Of the hare,
Yet here the sweet June days have smiled.
With wonders then the woods were aisled;
The freshest rose and airs most mild
Were found by those who wandered there
In Lovers Walk.
For all those hearts u~nrecOnciled
That were with whispered words beguiled
When iarks were Keeling in the air,
And scents were blown from everywhere,
The wind is sObbing like a child
In Lovers Walk.

Russia's New Army Rifle.

NEW YORK, Aug. 19-The Times says
that the United States army authorities
have learned that the new rife which Rus
STA has adopted is of a caliber different
from the French army rifle. The fact is
considered significant. If the alliance be-
tween France and Russia was per-
feet the new Russian weapon would
doubtless be made TO conform
with the French arm. Such conformity
would be of immense advantage to the
allied armies. But it is believed that the
ear retains his old distrust of France,
and, therefore, adheres to the custom of
a different arm for each nation, so that
arms and ammunition captured in battle
can never be effectively turned against
their former owners

Origin of a Popular Phrase.

1t has been explained that the term "blue

about the year 400 to designate literary
classes By colors. Members of the various
academies were distinguished by the color
of their stockings, blue being the prevail
ing color. The application of the term to
women originated with Miss Hannah
