Gotham str,e,-car incident.

An amusing incident occurred the
other day on Il Fourth avenue car go
ing up the Bowcry. On the front of
the platform was a very mischie-
vOus looking youth and Il very dilapi-
dated trunk. The conductor, after
collecting the boys fare, demanded a
fare for the trunk also, which the boy
promptly refused to pay.
Elf you don't pay for that trunk,
and right away, too, I'll throw it off
the car" said the conductor.
81 can't help what you do" the boy
replied, 81 shan't pay you a cent for
it,"
After a Hordy dispute, in which
the boy persisted in his refusal to pay
for the trunk the conductor gave it a
kick which lifted it into the street.
The car had gone about half a block
when a sleepy-looking German with a
very rublcund face, suddenly sprung
from his seat and gazed wistfully back
at the trunk, which was fast becom-
ing indistinct in the distance.
In an instant his face became
livid with rage. and, rushing to the

conductor in words more forcible than

'.Vat you mean by putting mcin

SIT that was your trunk why didn't
you pay me for it? This car amt no
free express wagon" the conductor re-
piled.
|, "vy der tuyful didn't you ask me
to pay for it, den? You shust run
back and get dot trunk now or I'll
break your head"
After Il short and bitter quarrel, IN
which the German seemed about to
annihilate his opponent, who was by
far the smaller of the two. the con-
ductor stopped the car and ran back
for the trunk. With an, effort he
shoufdared it, and amid the jecrs and
laughtcrof the passengers and cspeci-
ally the small boy, who seemed to en-
JOY the incident hugely, placed the
trunk back on the platform from
which he had thrown it.GNew York

4Buildinsa House.

In some parts of New Guinea whole
towns are built sin the sea- The
inhabitants live in constant fear of
the bush tribes, and as a protection
against them, construct their houses
just off the shore. Mr.. w. ID. Pit
cairn, in his 1.-Two Years Among the
Savage of New Guinea" describes IL
villa which he built after the native
pattern at a cost of twenty or twenty
five dollars. Two chiefs undertook,
the work. and received a little more
than half the money, so that the lab
orers got ten or twelve dollars.
l drew on the beach a rough ground
plan of the house, showing the length
and breadth, the division of rooms
and the two verandas. Peter, one of
the chiefs, measured the plan with a
piece of cane, making the length and
breadth, and then rolled UP the cane
and put it in his pocket, or rather in
his dilly-bag, for of course natives are
not provided with pockets.
He went home to his island, and in
a few days came back with several
conOes with all the necessary logs.
timber and other materials dashed to
them. including the sage palm-leaxes
for the roofing, and the cane for
splitting into laths; and when the
house was finished there was very
little material left. How he calcu-
lated SO nicely 1 cannot say, but of
course he had considerable experience
in building native houses.
Not a nail was used in the build
ing. On the sea side the house stood
in about four feet of water at low
tide, and on the shore side was con-
nected with the beach by a gangway.
The people have a curious way OF
driving piles. We gave them a rope,
Hot Springs weekly star. (Hot Springs, S.D.) 1892-1917, 1892-04-15

which they fixed round tile head OF
the pile, leaving the two ends dang
ling. Several natives got hold of
each end and pulled alternately, until
the pile was worked down to the re-
quircd depth.
The piles are made of white man
grove, and in order to prevent the
ravages of the cobra insect, it is best
to tar the piles well, or better STILL
though very expensive, to copper
them all over.
The flooring is of cane, the walls
are made of the bark or skin of the
palm, and the roof of the leaves of
the sago-palm, which have to be put
on separately, the leaves overlapping
a little, and on the outside are placed
some branches of the coco-nut. palm.
"A house of this kind is quite rain
proof, and ii well constructed will
keep III good condition for at least
two Years.

Flies. Feet.

We frequently call flies a nuisance,
set traps for them. poison them, and
do our best to a%nnihilatc them as
worthless and intolerablc creatures:
and yet the life of Il fly is one of busy
usefulness for the service and good of
man. He is Il scavcnger of untiring
activity. and with so keen and quick
Il vision that no particle of offensive
matter can escape him.
1T is his business to pouncc upon
every such spcck and remove it at
once. With every such particles he
carries away IL miasma that would poi
son the air we breathe.
Some of these particles are too
small to be visible, but us they are in
finite i'm number, if left to accumu-
late they would soon he a greater
plague than an army of flies. At
times the buZzing insects n seem
a torment hard to be forgotten.
LII the foot of Il fly is put under the
glass of Il good microscope it may be
seen how simple is the contrivance
that seems able to defy the laws of
gravitation. The foot is made up of
two pads, covered with fine, short
hairs, with a pair of curved hooks
above them. Behind each pair is ii
tiny bag filled with clean liquid gum.
the hairs also being hollow and filled
with the same sticky fluid.
AS the fly glides rapidly over a
smooth surface, every step presses out
a supply of gum. strong enough to
give him a sure footing and to sus-
tain him in safety if he haults. So
strong is the cement that upon IL of
his six feet is quite sufficient to sus-
tam the weight of his whole body.
But if he stands still the gum may
dry up and harden quickly, and so
securely fastcn the travellers foot us
to make Il sudden step snap the leg
itself.
When it is remembered that each
pad is furnished with at least a thou
sand hair or tubes of cement, it is
wonderful how many escape uil-
harmed.

Latest ipoy story.

A correspondent writes to IL con-
trmporary-"I can tell you Il dog
story that came before my notice,
being present at the time. No doubt
sonic of you readers remember the
Angel Hotel. The host had il very
clever dog who used to sit outside of
the hotel waiting for stray pennies to
buy buns with. and. being II very par-
tir.l'ar dog as to the quality of the
buns. he always took his money to II
shop where the best bun was sold. He
would drop the penny on the floor and
wait until his turn came to he served.
lat n day gentleman who had
been drinking not wisely but too we'll
took it INTO his head to take rise out
OF the dog, and threw him out of the
window a bad penny. The dog looked
at the penny with contempt, came
straight into the hotel, and gave the
gentleman a v bite in the cali of
his leg. l IA vouch for this as Il
positive fact.

A jew who Taught the G,nti,es.

A story of the smoking-salon of a
sleeping-car by Il commercial traveller:
/ was in Il Southern town not long
ago. and, having occasion to con-
graduate one of the citizens on the
prosperity of his place, said it had
grown considerably, and that the
town owed it's prosperity to IA Jew.
He said that for many years. in fact
from the time the town had become
ore, the business men had been i'm the
habit of closing their stores at 6
o'clock. Even the drug stores closed
at that hour, and they had no night
bells either. If a man was taken
sick in the night he staid without
medicine unless the doctor gave it to
him. One day a Jew came that way,
and opened a store. There was no
such Il thing as a store lamp i'm the
town, and never had been, so the jew
got some candles and stuck them
along the counters and lighted them
and kept his place open at night.
The people of the town used to go t,
his place as IL matter of curiosity.
They had " seen Il store open
after dark before. He tegan to pick

this case for the benefit OF any Rus
slams who may be present.

tened, with establishment written on
their faces.
"What the devil do you mean?:'
demanded Faverill, turning Il little
pale as he spoke.
"Oh, nothing, returned the Count,
with an insolent smile, sonly you paid
me by check last night, and this
morning Ihad q communication made
to me, I've had an interview-with
someOnc-you understand?"
IL do not understand" said the
young man, firmly. sBe good
enough to explain"
swell, then, if you will have it, 1
saw your father this morning."
The young man started, caught at
the table forsupport, while he stared at
the speaker with all his might. Then
he recovered himself, and gave a short
laugh.
''Saw my father" he repeated.
''By jove, then, you have the adj
vantage of me. My poor father has
been dead these five years"
"Your father-dead? Why, he
called on me, and"
The Count stopped in time. He
could not very we'll produce the
check he had received from his visi-
tor of that morning. 1t was for
:e3, 900, not $500.
"Your father? No. of course it
could not have been your father"
said DE Parni, affecting Il half tipsy
laugh. II have been making IL
blunder-that's all. l shall be very
happy, my deah feliah, to take your
check for the trifle you owe me"
But the young man was annoyed at
the F~renchman's behavior. He Dor
rowed the money from one of his
friends and handed it to the Count,
who had hardly presence of mind to
thank him. One question haunted
his brain: elf it was not Mr.. Fav-
Grill Isaw this morning, who was it?
The whole party went down stairs
to take their departure.
"By the way, Crawley," said one of
the members to the servant who
opened the door for them, ''what has
become of that fellow MaXence?:"
''Maxence asked for a holiday, sir,
and he has not returned yet" an
swered the man.
DE Parni turned very pale. He
fingered in the hall, so that he was
the last to pass the servant standing
at the door.
lido you mean by 'Maxence,' Max
ence Raoul?:" he asked the man in a
low tone.
"Maxencc Raoul: yes, sir: that is his
name. Any message for him, sir?:"
sOh, no. Good morning"
AS soon as he was in the street, De
Parni Ito give the fellow his home
made title) gave vent to his rage.
But it was impotent. Faverill's check
had been payable to bearer, and had,
no doubt, been cashed long since.
Raoul, who had in his day been a vic
tim of the pretended Count, had rec
ognized him at the club, and had con-
ccrted with Il friend who was able to
play the part of a heavy father,a plan
for depriving him of his spoils.
The check for E3, 900 was presented
for payment, but was, of course, re-
turned marked "No account" Max
ence Raoul has not been seen again

the specimens secured along the
shores of DEVILS Lake was a species
of slough grass which had attained

that they wound them up in coils.
They also found what seems to be q

BACTERIA IN PLANTS.

Discovery By the Agricultural Depart
ment That May Help Gardeners.
1t seems surprising enough to learn
that plants which bear pods. such as
peas and beans, depend largely for
their healthy growth upon bacteria
These little vegetable organisms
attach themselves to the rootlets upon
which they feed forming about each
of their colonies u woody tubercle.
just as the species that engenders con-
sumption in human beings and other
animals forms tubcrCles in the lungs.
Thus the roots on which such germs
find n Judgment are found to be moro
or less covered with warty exercise
encCS Until lately it, had never beon
imagined that tho tuberces were of
use to tho plant or that the latter re-
lied 10 any degree for its welfare upon
the parasites which form them
Nevertheless, such has been shown
to be the fact by experiments in the
department OF agriculture says the
Pitt5burg Dispatch. Plants are COM
posed largely of nitrogen, and the
bacteria described absorbed this ele-
ment from the air. Indeed. this Ia
the only way in which pod bearing
vegetables can procure free nitrogen
from the atmosphere. Each kind Of
pod bearing plant has its own species
OF bacteria upon which 1t depends
for supply OF free nitrogen from the
air.
The tuberclo germs of peas do not
produce Luberc!e germs in beans and
therefore are OF no use 10 them and
the various forms OF tubercle making
bacteria arc not all found IN every
soil 10 field whcro beans have
been cultivated for long time there
may be 40 tubercle germs for peas at
all, or vice versa Accordingly. the
farmer would be likely To find q change
from one crop TO the other a dismal
failure unless he know enough to
procure some earth from the proper
plarc mix it with water. and thus

The Turkish Government Issues These
Orders to Editors and Printers.
Look how careful the sultan is to
supply the city of Constantinople, his
imperial residence, with reliable and
instructive news His government
has just issued the following instruc-
tions to editors and printers of news
papers:
l. Give preference to all news regarding
the health of the emperor and his family,
the condition of agriculture and the progress
of industry and commerce.
Q. No novels must be published that have
not been approved by the minister of edu-
cation and guardian of public morals.
3. Long literary and scientific articles
must be avoided. The words ito be con-
t1nued" must not be used, az they excite
too great expectations.
1. Leads and pointed lines must not be
used, as they produce offensive suggestions
and Invitations and may be mistaken as
equiyocations concerning his imperial
majesty.
>. Carefully avoid the names of promi-
nent people. Should a governor or any
inferior officeholder be accused of theft,
endorsement, manslaughter or other
crimes the event must either be suppressed
or represented as not proved.
6. Il is absolutely prohibited to publish
petitions regarding abuses Of the admins
tration.
Z. 1t is not allowed to publish attempts
Of murder against princes or riots in for
eign countries, the knowledge of such
events being not profitable to our loyal and
peaceable people.
5. These new instructions shall not be
published in your paper as it might cause
dissatisfied men to pass evil criticisms and
remarks concerning them.
