WHY THE BOYS CRIED.
An Affecting Street Scene Caused
by a Theatrical Poster.

ny d ilGdLT lCel FOSlGTs
The fence on the Eighth avenue side
of the Manhattan Athletic Club
grounds, between Fifty-sixth and Fifth
seventh streets, is always covered
with theatrical posters. Within the
past few days a large and highly-color-
ed picture representing the death OF
the heroine in a melodrama attracted
the attention OF passcrs-by. The
PROSTATE figure OF the woman is life
size and the words she is dead APP
pear as coming from the lips OF man
who is standing over her.
One evening two small boys paused
in front OF the picture. They were
ragged and dirty, but pert and quick
witted. as most New York gamins
are. There was an unbroken line
OF pedestrians moving up and
down the street SuGd eniy, with
voices pitched in q shril key the
urchin began to cry. Each one rubbed
his grimy fists in his eyes and danced
about as ii in pain. Louder and loud
er grew their yells as their physical
contortions increased in vehemence.
People stopped and gazed at the boys
in amazement. Soon a good sized
crowd blocked up the sidewalk, and
still the urchins kept up their racket.
\ sympathetic young woman touch
ed one Of the boys on the shoulder and
said: Little boy, what is the matter?
Tell me, and perhaps l can help YOU"
NO yer can't blubbered the lad
between yells.
why not? What is it," asked the
sympathetic lady
"'Cause she's dead" shrieked the
boy, pointing to the picture, and then
be and his companions gave vent to
peals OF derisive laughter, such rs only
New York boys can emit. The crowd
speedily Solved--New FORK Times.

Every steamer, as well as
sailing vessel, brings US some
thing useful and often orna-
mental things which you are
perhaps, in daily need of. An
agate potato fryer is one OF
them. They save trouble, pre-
vent dyspepsia, and give you
potatoes that are palatable and
free from grease. They are SO
superior to the old style uten-
sill that you will not be without
one once you have tried it.
You know what it is to have
a miserable light dangling I'M
der your brake, don't you
Well, we offer you a lantern
that does not need another one
to show where the light is. We
refer to the "Dietz Carriage
Lamps A perfect miniature
head light that throws the light
twenty feet ahead of the horse.
We've sold a lot of them, and
people tell us that they are the
best they have ever tried.
Nickel or Japan as you prefer.
The price is the same. So is
the light.
How do you do about ice
water; make it in a pitcher or
use a cooler? We like a
cooler, (if you don't use a fill
teri, because it saves trouble,
and the water is iced at all
times. The ice lasts longer,
you know, if kept from the air.
This last lot of Coolers re-
ceived includes some in imita-
ton hard woods, shaped like a
small key. Others are the
regular shape, and a decided
ornament to any room. They're
all good in quality and will
last a life time.
We have another novelty
this week,-came just in the
nick of time too. It's a little
pocketable dark lantern, in
nickel throws a good light,
and is as pretty as it is useful
for what it is intended. The
mysterious individual who
prowls around at night in his
bare feet makes it necessary
for one to look about the house
before retiring. Dirty foo
prints are not desirable any
where, and this lantern is Just
the thing to enable one to see
in the dark corners without
being seen. Policemen ir
England use them altogether
So do bicyclists. We think
they are handy to have about

or two to American housewives, says an
English tourist. This Individual IS
woman. credited with being a witch -
her neighbors, il a little obscure town
with an unpr0nouncable name in Bohe-

cheapest commodity Of the household,
and what IS more, she has proved its
efficacy by practical tests. The town
where she lives IS near the great salt
mines. and she bad no troubIe in getting
all the salt she wanted. Her house vas
overrun with rats, Just as those Of her
neighbors were. This good woman hna--

had rid her own house she rendered the

Artin Hair-Dressing.

4 Philadelphia barber said recently
81 cannot for the life of me understand
why the rank and file of our race never
think of anything like art when ii comes
to cutting their hair and shaving their
beard. A man gets his hair cut by the
average barber, goes home, and his wife
or friends burst out in laughter, and then
exclaim, You look like a fright al
that the men usually think of is getting
their hair cut, and all that the average
barber thinks of in cutting is to get so
much off, and short or medium are the
only directions which they materially
understand. No matter whether the vic
tim has q square head or round head, a
head narrow at the top, one running too
much to crown, low forehead, high fore
head-no matter what, the shears take
of the hair the same way every time,
and no attempt is made to improve the
shape of ill-shaped craniums, not even
BY those who give much attention to
other parts Of tEeir personal appearance.
Now, I think We had better have school
for BARRIERS, as We have for nearly every
thing else. The trouble is that with
these small moving machines that have
been used for the past ten or twelve year.
all barber had to do was 10 drive ons
of these over q mans head just as ont
would clip horse. Very few of th'
younger BARRIERS know anything abou
cutting hair; they have had no one t
teach them how to cut it properly viii

She Was Persuaded Not to Die


A few days ago the friends of promi-
nent society women was startled by the
report that she was dangerously i'll. The
Town Talker, in speaking of her illness
to a particular friend of the lady brought
out the cause of the illness She is al
lowed by her husband so much a month
for dresses. Daring the last social season
she bought so many handsome ball cos
tunes that her allowance only seemed a
drop in the bucket toward paying for
t.em. Her costume attracted so much
attention that her vanity was excited,
and she endeavored, with each succeed
ing dress, to surpass the last. This she
succeeding in doing. Every action must
have corresponding reaction. Her
pleasure, caused by being the best-dress-
ed yoman in Louisville, has given place
to her sorrow, caused by her having the
largest millinery bills Of any woman in
Louisville The bills were sent to her,
amounting to $1,000. She Immediately
wentto her bed. Doctors were sent for, but
for week she continued to grow worse.
Her husband became alarmed, and told
her that, if she would just get well, he
would do anything for her. She said she
could not. At last, in despair, she told
him if he would Just pay her bill and for
give her she would try TO get we'll He
promised. He paid the bill. From that
moment she began to reeuperate, and in
a few days was almost entirely well. She
then confessed to her husband, who for

ed. So they are happy again.-Louis-

Right or Left Hand.

Theories as to the origin and cause Of
right handedness may be divided as fol-
lows: According % one class Of theories
it rests on an anatomical basis, and de-
pends on physical cause which exerts
its influence in every Of Us. According
to another class, rlan originally had no
preference for either hand, but became
right-handed by conventional ussges,
which may or may not have had their
origin in some anat omical features
For any theory Of the first class to be
satisfactory it =sust, frst, account for diff
ference in sensation as well as in force OF
dexterity secondly it must account foI
the occasional appearance of left handed
ness. and, thirdly, il must not be ineon-
sistent with the fact that most Of those
who have their organs transpOsed-the
heart on tire right, the liver on the len
etc.-are right handed.-Scribner's Maga

Thought His Legs Were Glass.

A physician of long experience in the
treatment of mental diseases told a few
DAYS ago of the remarkable case of a
young man who was perfectly sound on
all topics but one. All the screws in his
brain were right but one. That was loose.
He was an inmate of Connecticut asy-
lum, the doctor said, and had demanded
to be examined, asserting that he was
sane. When the physician reached the
asylum he was shown into a handsome
ly furnished room and presented TO a
tall, good-looking young fellow, appar-
emily in robust health.
Tell me-" said the physician, "all
about your case"
The young man, speaking with perfect
coherency, and using the best Of Language
said that be was confined at the instance
of his father They had both loved the
same girl, and when the son returned to
his home after an absence of a few days
he found that his father had married her
His father, desiring to get him out Of the
way, had then placed him in an asylum.
The doctor made notes, and when the
patient concluded told him that he would
do all he could for him.
"Now," said the doctor, won't you
walk out into the hall with me ?' q
can't" said the young man, sorrowfully
'Why not ?" asked the doctor. BE
cause if do I'll break" was the rather
surprising reply. "What do you mean 2

my thighs down I'm made Of glass, and
that I'm only safe in this ROOM.

The Eye and the Lion.

American, Of Mexico, says he saw an
illustration of the wonderful power Of the
human eye in bringing into subiugatiOn
the monarch Of the forest and jungle.
He was introduced to Mr.. '. C. Whit
field, who is better known in Tampieo
and vicinity as the Zion tamer,' who
took him to see his pets, consisting Of
twelve Hous and seven tigers, which he
has imprisoned in two strong iron cages
twelve feet wide. twenty feet long and
eight feet high. These beautiful but
ferocious animals have been taught 70 do
many wonderful tricks. and their master
enters their cage without weapons OF any
kind. commands their attention and oon-
trois their actions by his eye. His col
lection would bring handsome fortune,
and IL ne would consent TO travel and
exhibit them he could command a
princely salary. but he says he only eul-

and the amusement Of MS friends
