Cause of Crowd on New York Stree,

Cause of a Crowd on New York Street.
A big crowd gathered on Park row
about o'clock one evening TO watch a
man 1ourishing a dusting brush in one of
the plate glass windows on the street floor.
A policeman saw that something was go
ing on and elbowed his way through the
crowd
What is he doing?" asked some one in
relation to the man in the window.
''Oh, he is trying to kill great big
spiderI" exclaimed one of those persons
who are always ready to give information
without regard to its value.
mo. it must be a snake" chimed in
somebody on the outskirts of the crowd,
and therefore not in a position to see any
thing but the men and women in front Of
him.
- Go way, it's a trantura, got away from
de Italians bananas" volunteered a small
boy with the tendency of an alarmist.
Meanwhile the crowd surged from side to
side, and men craned their necks to get a
glimpse over other mems shoulders. The
cause of all this excitement was an inno-
cent and badly frightened little hen spar
row, which had unwittingly flown in at the
open door, and subsequently made vain
yet frantic efforts to escape through the
transparent yet unyielding plate glass. 1t
was in q fair way of beating its brains out
when a humane employe of the store con-
ceived the plan Of catching it in busting
brush. After several unsuccessful attempts
he finally secured it and released it outside
the door. 1t few away with a frightened
chirp, and the crowd applauded. New

Rules for Good EresiCht.

The following simple rules for the pres.
ervation Of the eyesight are worth remem-
bering: Keep shade on your lamp or gas
burner. Avoid all sudden changes between
light and darkness. Never begin to read,
write or sew for several minutes after com
tng from darkness into light. Never read
by twilight, moonlight or any light so
scant that it requires an effort to discrimi-
nate.
Never read or sew directly in front of the
light, window or door, 1t is best to let the
light fall from above. obliquely over the
left shoulder. Never sleep so that on first
awakening the eyes shall open on the light
of a window. The moment you are in
stinctiyely prompted to rub your eyes that
moment stop using them.-Exchange

The TYrOler.

Slow, however, and almost impercepti-
bic is the general progress of civilization,
verifying the saying that "a Tyroler first
knows what he is about when he is forty"
He is active in his fields, blowing, moving
sowing, hoeing, reaping and sluicing his
meadows with the bounteous, never failing
waters from the hills. There, however, his
activity ceases. All the rest is charming
stagnation, for he does not much hoe or
plow the soil Of his intellect, so it remains
fallow ground. He seems to have neither
mundane ideas nor views, and one is apt to
doubt whether he thinks at all, but simply
moves on mechanically in the old grooves.
He plows with the same rude wooden
plow, uses a harrow with wooden teeth,
thrashes by hand instead of by machinery,
and as to steam, it may, employed by rail
road companies, invade the chief arteries of
the land, but not his barn. He sows and
plants by hand. You may assure him that
drills would save half his seed corn and
three times his labor. He listens. as if adj
miringly but he sows by hand all the
same.
Drills, scufflers, moving or reaping ma
chimes are left to more go ahead nations.

and reaps as his father did, and who, he
supposes knew what he was about His
rotatory crops are precisely the same as his
great-grandfather used and sowed. Rye
the chief crop, little wheat, good deal
of buckwheat, only grown in England for
the pheasants, poppies, not for opium but
for their seed as condiment to Tyrolese
pastry, and plot of maize; these figure as
the indispensable growths. His bread he
seasons with his beloved kummel, that is,
cumminseed, which he gathers out of his
meadows before the hay is cut. He eats
the same dishes as his progenitors did a
thousand years ago.-Good Words.

pidn,t want to Ride After That.

Some of the women in the car said the
conductor was "mean thing, anyway"
but they were forced to admit that his
provocation was great. When his car
stopped at Fourteenth street two hand
somely dressed women hustled in and sat
down. They had evidently been On a shop
ping expedition, and as they talked viva
ciousiy about their purchases general con-
conversation in the car ceased. The other
passengers inspected them admiringly.
Then the conductor appeared and held out
his hand for the fare
Each woman opened her pocketbook
slowly so that the other might have an OPP
portunfty 20 be generous. The woman
who was nearest the conductor fished a
cent out Of her pocketbook and placed 1t in
hishand with the request that he would
"wait a minute" Two more cents fol-
lowed the first one and then two very bat
tered looking coppers. The conductor had
shifted uneasily from one foot to the other
during this proceeding and looked bored.
There was twinkle of satisfaction in the
woman's eye. She had disposed of some
coins that were not worth the space they
occupied in her pocketbook. Itpleased the
other passengers, too, because the con-
ductor represented big monopoly and was
therefore fair game.
The woman's friend had been watching
the little comedy with a smile, and when
the conductor held out his other hand for
her fare she dropped ten cent piece into
it. The conductors opportunity to make
a "mean thing" of himself had come, and
he dropped his five i'll assorted coins into
the second woman's hand and walked out
TO the rear platform much pleased with
himself The passengers smiled. The vic
tim of the coins looked reproachfully at
her friend. Then both women concluded
shat they didn't want to ride any further.

THE HOOK DESCRIBED.

THE HOOK DESCRIBED.
The hook that is used in catching cod
and founders, constructed with the special
purpose of preventing fouling, is described
by Judge J. G. Swan as follows:
"They are made of knots of hemlock
limbs cut out from old decayed logs. These
are split in pieces of suitable size and whit
tied to the required shape, and bent by be-
ing steamed into the form which in the
skill hook resembles the longitudinal sec
ton of a goose egg. The lower portion OF
these hooks are turned inward to form q
barb, and when not in use the two ends oi
the hook are fastened together by piece
of twine, which is also used TO tie on the
bait. The two parts of the hook are sepa-
rated by means of a stick or peg. which the
fish knocks out when he takes the bait,
and the two ends Of the hook close to-
gether and hold him fast. The peg floats
to the surface and indicates to the Indian
that he has caught fish.
''The sinker Is another ingenious contri-
vance. 1t is large stone weighing from
twelve to fifteen pounds and smaller one
to serve as tripping stone. The line is
wound around these stones many turns
and blight or loop tucked under one of
the parts in the same manner. A signal
officer rolls up flag in ball and tucks a
blight of halliard under turn which,
when pulled out, sets the flag free. So
when the Indian fisherman thinks from
the number of floating pegs that be has
enough fish, he pulls out the loop Of his
line, the stones become loosened and fall
out, and he hauls in his line relieved of the
weights.
''The Hsidas frequently put on 100 hooks
to line, which act like trswl, aud so
plentiful are the black cod that often from
fifty to seventy-five are hauled IN at one
time. The bait used seems TO be anything z
handy, as the skill is a greedy feeder and
will take either fresh herring, squid or a
strip of white skin from a hahbut's belly.
The Indian, however, has enemies to con
tend with, one Of the most formidable be-
ing the groundfsh, or nuEsefsh, as the
sailors call them, which viii eat of the
bodies of long line of fish, leaving only
their heads. There is also small sculpin
variety, which viii stesi the bait. Dogfish
also are at times very Troublesome. When
ever the Indian is sure Of the presence Of
these pests he goes 20 another place TO
fish. New York Tines.

GETTING AROUND THE LAW.

'Where there's a will there's q
way" This old adage is strikingly
illustrated in the advertising columns
of the Virginia Chr onicle Of a recent
date. In large black capital letters
UNDERSIGNED by like black line, to
attract attention, appears the name Of
9 certain resident of New Orleans,
Louisiana, who says that "while it is
true that have been chosen Presi-
dent Of the Louisiana State Lottery
Company, vice M A. Dauphin, de.
ceased, still retain the Presidency Of
the Cult Coast Ice and Manufacture
ing Company" While the said
gentleman may be President of the
Gulf Coast Company, it is not to that
end that the ad. is inserted in the
Chronicle. AS the statutes of nearly
every State in the Union prohibit
Lottery ad"ertisem ents, and a recent
ly enacted United States law forbids
newspapers containing lottery adver-
tisements circulating in the mails, it
was thought that in the death of M.
A. Dauphin, the Lottery Company
had sustained loss which would re-
suit in the closing down of that lnsti-
tuition, on account that it would not
be generally known to whom to send
for tickets. Anyone after glance at
the so-called ad. of the Gulf Coast Ice
Co.. can see that the Lottery has de-
Vised means of Guiding the law and
still making known the address of
their agents. Thsre is only one time
when the Lottery Company can be
quelled, and that is when its present
charter expires.
