The liquor traffic itself is refusing
openings to men who are victims of the
liquor habit. A prosperous Chicago
firm, which have multiplied attractive
places of sale and gives employment in
the aggregate to large number of per-
sons, will continue no man on its pay
roll, bartender or porter, who is not
absolutely teetotaler. The members
Of the firm do not themselves drink and
they will have nobody about them on
their side of the bar who does. This
is significant testimony to the value Of
teetotalism from merely practical
standpoint. It is dram-seller's tenn.
perance lecture, which ought to have
its influence on the other side Of the
counter.

Or all the unhappy creatures on the

pitied is the vain, sensitive, egotistical
bundle of humanity who always
imagines everything is intended for

the editor writes at him, the gossip
gossips about him, and, taking it 'by

trembling when he frowns. Such per-

the hole left how much real Importance

Washington, Lafayette and Other Great
Men stopped in 1t.
The Oldest house in New York stands
at 122 William street. 1t was built in
1892, during which year the corpora
ton opened up the streets between
Wall and Fair streets. Fair street is
now called Fulton street. Lots were
sold by the city and one of the terms of
purchase required the buyers to erect
buildings thereon of brick or stone not
less than two stories high. The house
was built of narrow Dutch brick
brought over from Holland as ballast
and laid in an imperishable cement
which is as hard to-day as the bricks
themselves.
On the grounds Immediately back OF
the house was shed the first blood OF
the revolution. This was the battle OF
Golden Hill, which was fought two
months before the Boston massacre.
About eighty members of the Sixteenth
Regiment of Foot English) had taken
up their position On the highest point
of the Golden Hill, which was situated
on the block now bounded by William,
John, Fulton and Gold streets. The
sons Of liberty hastily collected some
mLskets and pistols and marched to
the hill determined to dispense the
soldiers x1G make them prisoners.
Blood was shed on both sides. One
old man was shot through the head,
three citizens and five soldiers were
wounded. The house was used at vari
Gus periods before and during the revo
luton as a tavern. Among its patrons
were George Washington, Baron Steu-
ben, General Putnam and Lafayette.

The best half of life is in front of
the man Of forty, if he be anything of
a man. The work he will do will be
done with the hand of a master, and
not of a raw apprentice. The trained
intellect does not see ''men as trees
walking" but sees everything clearly
and in just measure. The trained
temper does not rush at work like q
blind bull at a haystack, but advances
with the calm and ordered pace OF
conscious power and deliberate de-
termination. To no man is the world
80 new and the future. so fresh as to
him who has spent the early years Of
his manhood in striving to understand
the deepest problems of science and
life, and who has made some headway
toward comprehending them.

The larger the payments they make tc

If we are to believe the teachings of
occultists, spiritualists and theosophists
all of us possess what is called an astral
body. In an issue of the Mot d'Order,
published in Paris, an article appears
under the heading 'Bavardage, where
in it is gravely asserted that certain
scientist, whose name is not vouch-
safed, has invented an optical instru-
ment whereby spirits, or ghosts, or
spooks, or astral bodies can be plainly
seen. This experiment, says the savant
in substance, was very difficult. Recol-

was possible to see the astral body Qe

He therefore arranged the apparatus
and when he had succeeded in getting
the most perfect adjustment as to light
and magnifying power, he was called
to the bedside of n dying person. He
had been expecting the summons and
he remained beside the dying man I'M
til the approach of death became mani

the whole body, announced that the

we placed our heads under the dark

were magnified many thousands OF
times and for a moment their violent
movement produced cloud in front OF
the glass. Then delicate column OF
violet vapor, condensed into hocculent
mass, was clearly seen above and around
the body. The particles appeared tc
pursue one another as if obedient tc
some kind of central attraction.
The cloud condensed more and more
and took the vapOrous form of a man.

was as cOlOrless as the most perfect

Having repeatedly been interested

meal in Crum Brook, one of the trout
streams preserved by the Quaspeake

The snake darted from under the
bank and seized a club about three
inches long, half of its body being in
the mouth of the snake. | struck the
reptile smartly with my cane and it
darted away and the fish wriggled off
slowly for few feet and then lost all
power Of motion, although it did not
seem to be even slightly bruised. Up
on taking it out of the water observed
a thick slime or mncus covering the
whole body, which l scraped of, and
returned the fish to the water. At
first it was very active, swimming
around lively, but in a few moments
seemed once more to lose the power of
motion. l again took it out of the
water, and found the coating of slime
thicker upon its body than before. !
scraped it off again, with the same
result, but finally the fish turned on its
side dead, and in about five minutes,
spent in perfect quietude on my part,
the snake came from under submerg.

peared. Tho incident led me to be.
lieve that the snake poisoned the fish
by coating it with the thick secretion
found upon its BODY.

HELlvED TO SHINE,
A Stylish Way of Doing the Fakir Bust
ness on q Street Corner.

A Stylish Way of Doing the Fskir Busi-
ness Oh q Street Corner.
There are lots of funny ways to make
living. The man with the alligator
gr1psack came along Twenty-third
street the other morning, says the
truthful New York Sun, and stood
there looking about for moment, as If
searching for some one who was to
have met him there. Several persons
saw him and looked admiringly at his
handsome clothes, his pleasant face and
his general Fifth avenue air. Young
men with very wide trousers looked at
his very large cane and approved him
without further credentials.
Presently he stepped into the street,
took the cane in both hands and I'M
screwed the top. Then he manipulated
it for moment, transformed it into a
wire stand, opened his valise and placed
it on the extempOrized rest, sat his
shiny hat on the back of his head and
began deliberately pulling a pair of
oversleeves on his arms. Quite a little
group had gathered already, for it was
certainly a curious sight-this> elegant
young man in the guise of fakir. In
"a moment he had taken a particularly
disreputable boot from the grip and
had begun to apply a strange kind OF
backing to its weather-beaten front.
| The crowd had grown larger and when
| they saw what he had to sell they
pressed little nearer and listened. He
said not word about the backing he
| inf hut f1,ry cd
over admiringly, presenting its most
glistening points to the people, as he
sang:
There was an old woman from Dundee,
Who went on terrible spree,
A cop tried to shoot
| Off the shine of his boot
But it stuck, like bad luck--don't you see!
They laughed little at that and he
motioned to a tramp that had found
something to interest him in the group.
The tramp's boot came off. leaving
very little else on the foot, and the eX-
quisite took it and began the backing.
In a moment it emerged from terra
Gotta red to mirror-like black, and still
he sang:
The old woman who lived in a shoe
Became SO outrageously blue
That her children alack!
Went and painted it black,
And then it turned water; that's true.
In the pauses of his work he had set
up dozen boxes of the goods he had
for sale, and by the side of each was a
card bearing the legend Five cents -
Presently he was busy in the pauses
taking in nickles and handing out
boxes. BY the time the noon hour was
over he had sold all the stock in trade,
and ere an hour had elapsed he folded
up his remarkable cane, put the over
sleeves in the grip and turned to the
few idlers with the parting MARBLE:
, A very smooth fellow from Trent
, Sold shoe polish over in Kent.
He spoke not a word
So that no lies were heard,
Then he folded his things up and went.
In all of this he had not spoken g
word, and he walked down street with
a tread as lofty rs if he had nothing
short of government bonds of the high.
