great excitement here today. Action

cold BILL" That's ALI.

A familiar figure to all who have bust
ness about Park row is sold Bill" the
spectacle vendor. Day after day for the
past twenty years or more this unique
figure has arrived in front of No. 81 at
an early hour in the morning and an
folded little campstoo1 sort of contri-
vance, on which he places small tray
containing few of the cheaper variety
of eyeglasses. After this he lights his
pipe and awaits the occasional customer.
In winter Bills tall, spare figure is
hidden in heavy overcoat buttoned to
the chin, his thin face peeping out from
a huge cap with large sides that fold
down over his ears. When the first days
of summer approach the heavy trap
pings are cast aside and the purveyor of
'eye windows" appears resplendent in
straw hat, light trousers and clean linen
duster.
All inquiries as to the surname of this
odd figure fail to elicit anything salts
factory, and his cognomen of "Old Bill'
is all that can be gathered. Of course
he is reported to be wealthy-all such
unique characters always are.-New

Ammonia for Electric Shock

An ingenious dentist has been making
some interesting experiments with ami
mails which have been nearly killed by
electric shocks.
On Wednesday he was standing on
the street and saw sparrow in small
pool of water left by the street sprinkler.
The bird soon went up and flew to a wire
overhead The shock at once sent him
to the ground, where he lay until the
dentist picked him up, barely able to
move his wings. The gentleman breathed
into the sparrows mouth and let him
go. AS the shock was not very bad
one the bird was soon able to fly,
but he again returned to dangerous
locality, and the result was another
shock much worse than the first. When
the bird fell to the ground he was ap-
parently life1ess, but the dentist took
him to the Office and began an expert
ment.
He at first resorted to artificial respira-
ton as before, and then injected in the
birds flesh aromatic spirits of ammonia
and poured few drops diluted with
water down the sparrow's throat. He
then put him in dry closet and gave
him some clear water after few min
utes. When placed in the closet the
birds body was nearly cold, but the
treatment proved so effective that in
less than an hour he was able to fly as
well as ever and was liberated. Eastern

A JUDICIAL KINDERGARTEN.
Effective Use of the Sign Language in
Sentencing a Prisoner.

Enecttve Use OF tne sign Language In
Sentencing Prisoner.
Once upon time, says George r..
B. Hayes, there was judge named
Redman, who presided over a big terri
tory which kept him racing from Santa
Cruz to Salinas and San Luis Obispo.
The Spanish population was the chief
race to be found in that district, and
Redman knew but two words in the
language, which were No tiende,' and
was put to the necessity of employing a
court interpreter, who attended him in
his rapid tour of the big circuit.
1t happened that a murderer was to
be sentenced in Monterey and that an
important trial must be attended miles
away on the same day. Redman's in
terpreter had gone off to fandango in
the wilds somewhere and couldn't be
found when court was opened. and Red
man was in fury of impatience. At
last, when he could endure the delay no
longer, he said to the man below in the
dock:
"Prisoner at the bar, stand upl"
''No tiende," said the man, shaking
his, head stupidity.
"You don't savey, do you?" exclaimed
the judge sharply. "Well, do you un-
derstand this?" and he proceeded to ges-
ticulate vigorously with his hands and
indicate the motion of rising.
The man finally comprehended and
arose stiffly in his seat.
"Prisoner at the bar, it is the sentence
of this court that you be taken from the
place whence you came on Friday, the
9th day of June next, be hanged by the
neck until you are dead, and may God
have mercy on your soul. Now, do you
savey that?"
The poor prisoner shook his head in a
bewildered fashion and could only cry,
"No tiende, no tiende."
sis there anybody present in this court
who can translate that awful sentence
to this prisoner demanded the judge of
the half dozen of officials and specta-
tors in the room. They were all in the
same boat as the prisoner and could only
shake their heads mournfully.
"Well," exclaimed the judge, a bright
thought striking him, ''Tll just show
you, then, this wayl" whereupon he un-
reeled yard of red tape that lay on
the desk, and twisting it hurriedly about
his own neck held the two ends high
over his left ear, at the same time rolling
his eyes and wagging his tongue down
against his chin.
A dreadful groan went up from the
prisoner and from the others in the court
room They understood the grim ju-
dicial kindergarten completely.-San
Francisco Examiner.

Death superstitions are rife in the

thing out of the ordinary is 'sign."
In Cuba person with a sore or wound
of any kind will not look upon dead
person, fearing that the spot will be-
come incurable. The rum used in wash
ing a dead body is, however, regarded
as sure cure for all eye troubles. If
the light from candle or lamp falls on

come to him or her who was carrying

The Result of marit.

When anything stands test of fifty years
among discriminating people like the Ameri-
cans, 1t is pretty good evidence that there ID
merit somewhere The value of O medicine is
best proved by its continuous use from year to
year by the same persons and families, as we'll
as by steady increasing sale. Few, if any,
medicines have met with such continued snc.
cess and popularity as has marked the intro
ducti0n and progress OF BRANDRETH's PILLS,
which, after trial of over fifty years, are con.
ceded to be the safest and most effective purga-
tive and blood purifier introduced to the pub.
lie.
That this is the result of merit, and that
BRANDErH's PILLS actually perform all that il
claimed for them, is conclnsively proved by the
fact that those who regard them with the
greatest favor are those who have used them
the longest.
BRANDRsTH's PILLS are sold in every drug
and medicine store. either plain or sugar
coated
