Mr.. Payne's Hard Luck.

Councilman Costello had q complaint to
make to the Board of Public Works, yes.
terday morning. on behalf of William
Payne, one of his constituents. In the
alley north of New York street. near Black
ford. is sewer which empties into the river.
Mr.. Payne. who resides on Blackford street.
was assessed S106 to pay for this sewer. and
now that he wants to make connection
with his house the board will not issue him
permit. The reason given was that no
more permits to connect with this sewer
will be given until an iDtercepting sewer
is constructed to carry the water into the
river considerably below the point whore
the other sewer empties. Mr.. Costello was
much worked mp at the boards failure to
grant the request of his constituent.

The drought prevailingin North
ern Mexico is described by the
Eagle Pass correspondent of the
Galveston News as follows
Northern Mexico is again con-
fronted with a total crop failure.
The summer rains which have
been anxiously expected, with
which late crops might be harvest
ed, have not come. 1t is true that
in spots there have been good rain
falls, both in Durango, Coahuila,
Chihuahua and Nuevo Leon, but
they have been isolated and insult
icient. -Four years of consecutive
crop failures are unprecedented
even in droughty Mexico, and a
large number of the inhabitants
are confronted with grave condi-
tions. The farms in the best dis
tricts are lying idle, and the labor
ers who depended upon agriculture
Tor their existence are left without
employment. Having lived under
a system Of peonage for genera
tons, they T helpless to 90 out
into the world to seek in more
favored localities for employment,
even though provided means to
reach their destination. Laborers
are working on new roads in Mex
leo at fifty cents a da$ equal to
thlrty-four cents in American
money, and with this amount they
feed themselves. Corn, their prln-
cipal article of food, costs them
forty-two cents a peck. Many Of
these laborers have large families
to support on this meager salary,
and they r. considered fortunate
if they T able to secure employ
ment at any price"

pend IN the Prompter,s BOZ.

A correspondent relates the following
melancholy incident, which occurred
the other evening at the Theater des
Gobelins, Paris, during the presentation
of "L'Oiseau Bleu:"
"The performance was interrupted by
q sudden cessation in the dialogue and
the leading lady was seen to look intent
ly into the prompter's box before the
footlights. 1t happened that this was in
the most interesting point of the third
act, and naturally all eyes followed those
of the leading lady. The audience Of
course could not see the cause of the in
terruption, but the artists on the stage
noticed that the prompter had fallen
asleep, and by an unfortunate coinci-
dence the actress had forgotten her lines
at the same moment.
"After waiting half a minute and the
man giving no evidence of returning to
consciousness, one of the actors stepped
forward and gently shook him. There
was no response, and looking closer
those upon the stage saw that the
prompter was dead. Without dropping
the curtain the people IN the stage re-
manned in their various positions that
the incident found them. The manager
stepped to the front and made his expla-
nation, the body was dragged down
under the stage and a new prompteT
climbed into his place, while the play
proceeded with only a three minute
wait."-Boston Transcript.

New Mcwn Hay.

What is there in the fragrance Of new
mown hay that SURPRISES in this occult
power almost all other perfumes? Is
It that the very essence of imperishable
vitality, the earth mothers strength and
enfolding love, is contained in the grass
the patient, long suffering, sturdy,
multitudinous, beautiful grass-which
feeds the cattle and carpets the hills,
and creeps to the very edge of the road
side, and springs up in the ruts, and
spreads its soft, thick coverlet over the
graves Of our dead? Nothing else so
rests the tired eye, so springs back under
the tired foot. When the vagrant inn
pulse awakens in our breasts, the nomad
instinct stirs, we are fain to go where
the grasses wave and the old trees lean
lovingly over them.
The wearied nan Of business, hard
pressed with the routine of the count
ing room, becomes a boy once more il
ne can but secure a holiday in the time
Of making hay. He goes into the field
with buoyant step, and you hear his
voice ringing in a joyous shout a. he
counts the rolling swaths.
How children love to tumble in the
hay, and how defrauded they are Of one
Of childhood's chief delights If they
never know the glory Of riding home

THE CATTLE SITUATION.

Prices for cattle are gradually
sliding downward. The best corn
fed steers are about SOC higher
than before the wild advance ff-
teen days ago, while grass cattle
are about as low, with a very poor
prospect for them to get any better
within the next ninety days. Cat
tie from the Northwest ranges have
not fairly started yet, but when
they begin to come in large num-
bers supplemented with heavy runs
of Texans, buyers will use every
opportunity to depress the market.
Fortunately, rangers can't very
we'll supplant the place Of good
dry fed native steers, but grass
cattle will have to suffer a severe
reduction if many of them are re-
ceived. The decline in Texas cat
tie in the past two weeks has been
ruinous TO many owners, but is the
natural result of the excessive sup
plies and just what the cattlemen
might have expected. Hundreds
of Texas steers have been sold here
during the past week for less than
they could be bought for in their
native state. 1t is very likely that
this depression in the Texas mar
ket will have the effect Of curtail-
ing shipments for the next week
or two and 50 give prices a chance
to tone up a little. Many dealers
think that the low point Of this
year has been touched. ~ Chicago

Summer boarders, rightly handled,
are about the most profitable thing the
York county farmer can cultivate.
Don't feed them ON beefsteak, for they
don't want it. Give them plenty Of
hammock, berries, baked potatoes, boiled
eggs and mush and milk and they will
be much better suited. Keep them
away from the house by getting them
to go fishing or hill climbing, and then
they can't say it was your mosquitoes
that bit them. What they wish is some
thing new to eat and something new to
see. Give them these and they pay well

The preservation of the teeth
depends more than most of us have
any idea upon our faithfulness in
keeping them clean. Everybody
knows that if PARTICLES of food are
allowed to remain between the
teeth they will decay. The use Of
a good quill or a wooden toothpick
after each meal is not only a mat
ter of saving the teeth, but of clean
illness, and it would be well to
take a good brush, keep it handy,
and brush the teeth after each
meal. This would in the end save
time, money and health, for if we
have not good teeth, we cannot
have good digestion, and if we
have not good digestion, we have
not good health, for it is not what
we eat but what we digest that aft
fords us strength.

Collectors sometimes indulge in odd
fancies. Mr.. Edward Hammond, Of
Leominster, appears to have a fancy for
collecting human skulls. One day he
was in the priory churchyard in that
town when the sexton, like that famous
gravedigger who remembered the kings
jester before his flashes of merriment
had ceased to set the tables on a roar,
cast up a skull. Upon this Mr.. Ham
mond stopped down, picked up the grim
relic, and placing it in a handkerchief,
together with some grass, was e to
walk away with it. Subsequently the
skull, having been washed, was seen, it
is said, in Mr.. Hammond's Office; but
the business got wind and made a talk,
and finally no less a body than the home
office authorities were induced to take
up the matter.
1t was in accordance with orders from
the home Office that the deputy chief
constable sought out Mr.. Hammond the
other day in Leominster market, and
demanded the restoration Of 'that
skull" Mr.. Hammond's answer was
that it was no longer m his possession.
He had "reinterred it," he said. Be
sides, in 80 doing he had conducted a
proper burial service over it." More he
could scarcely do, but the authorities
were not yet appeased. Nh. Hammond
has been charged in the L%eominster po-
lice court and convicted of unlawfully
removing human remains from a burial
place. The magistrates, however, seem
to have thought that he had done well
nigh enough to atone for his indiscre-
ton, for while they fined him only one
shilling, they ordered that the costs
should be paid by the prosecution

The kilograms about those two

that betting men are bestirring

mendacity that aids the cause of
one side or the other is, in accord
ance with the rules of modern
sport, legitimateand commendable.
Nobody seems to know the truth
about what these men are doing.
The stories hat Sullivan is off on

that Corbett is love-sick and neg

be all discounted as tictions more
