Driftwood the Proper Thing at
 Present
It Is Gathered Along the seashors and shipped to the City. Where ls Commando . FAshion-
 able Price.

An elderly person in a pea-jacket. with frizzy whislers and a smell of stale seaweed about him, was observed on the beach at Asbury Park the other day gathering driftwood. As fast ashe secured an armful of such fiotsam and jetsam he would carry it to the road way on the other side of the board walk and deposit it in . small wagon that was attached to a cadaverous-looking horse. Within less than an hour he had fair load, and Washington Star cor respondent ventured to congratulate him on getting his firewood 50 easily and cheaply.
 Laying in your winters supply?" he remarked, interrogatively.
 Nav, aint," replied the man in the pea jacket.
 "Only some stuff for the kitchen fre?"
 "Nixy."
 You burn it, don't your"
 Not much I don't"
 Isn't it good to burn?"
 Fletcher"
 What do you gather it for, then2"
 'Firewood
 But you say that you do not burn itP"
 Nope"
 ''Why not?'
 Because ain't no millionaire"
 You sell it, perhaps?"
 Fletcher"
 Who buys it?'
 Rich folks" .where?'
 Up in Noo Yawk."
 "why should they purchase it?" Young feller," responded the person in the pea jacket, removing an extra sized chew of tobacco from his mouth. II ain't got time to stand here all day answerin' questions Anybody that's got sense oughter know that driftwood is worth money nowadays City folks that kin afford the luxury burn it in their fireplaces. It's the fashion at present, because when it burns it makes flames of all sorts of colors, sich as green an blue an yaller an red. It looks booty and so it fetches high price. What collect along the peach ! sell to a woodward here and it is shipped to Noo Hawk. Ordinary fire wood is good enough fer me- Much of the stuff that is sold as drift wood is not such in reality, being mere ly soaked in sulphate of copper and other metallic salts, which in burning produce vari-colored flames. Any thoughtful person who takes notice of the driftwood along the beaches cannot but be astonished at the enormous quantities of it that are thrown up by the waves, particularly | during and after big storms It seems beyond imagining where all of it comes from. But it must be remembered that the oceans are vast: that the craft sail | ing upon them are innumerable, and that whatever is set afloat finds its way | eventually to the shore. At the same time only small fraction of such ma terial is actual wreckage from lost or damaged vessels. Much of it represents the debris of routed piles which have been destroyed by the teredo. The bulllheads erected to resist the advance of the breakers are continually being washed away, thus adding a large con tribution. Wherever there is wood under the water it is attacked and | quickly disintegrated by the destructive | agencies, among which the teredo is
 hief. Thus people who live by the sea need rarely patronize the wood dealer for fuel

Gyp,y Men w,thou. . coon.ry.

Cholera times bring back the same popular movements we read of in the history of the middle ages, and they incite bumbles and beadles to unim- agined pranks- The Pall Mall Gazette remarks that gypsies are not popular in the Swiss or the black forest health resorts during the tourist season. The other day a band of gypsies travelling Argau were brought to a stand by the Swiss police in the middle of the bridge which crosses the Rhine at Laufenberg. One half of this picturesque old bridge is in Germany, the other half in Switzerland The Swiss police would not permit them to cross the frontier. Hereupon the Baden police appeared and refused to allow the regiment of nendicants to remain in Germany. A long diplomatic controversy between the heads of the Swiss and Baden police was carried on in the middle of the bridge, which ended in the concession of the German police that the gypsies must return to the place from whence the German empire.

The Horse in Mythology.

The Grecians placed in the sun the
god of their wisdom and intelligence,
and gave him a chariot and four
fiery horses the chariot to symbolic
doctrine and the horses intelligences.
So with their god of the sea; Nee-
tune was drawn In his sea chariot by
horses - the sea to symbolic all
scientific knowledge in general, the
chariot to symbolic doctrine OF
science and the horses intelligences.
They mythologically described the
birth of the sciences by the flying
horse Pegasus, which with his hoofs
burst open fountain out of the hard
rock, at the moment of his rising
from earth to heaven, at which foun-
tain were seven virgins who were
the seven sciences.
The flying horse symbolizes an In
telhgence directed heavenward, the
hard rock represents hard matter OF
fact or sensual knowledge; the foun
tain springing therefrom represent:
pure truth where the virgin science:
delight to dwell = Our Anima
Friends.

Living Statues.

Novel pieces of statuary. pictures

Gently opened up town a large cigar

1t is group of three figures, appar-
emily statues, the center one Of which
is an Egyptian girl dressed in the
oriental style, with flowing robes,
standing on pedestal and holding
out lighted taper for the smoker to
light his cigar. The other two fig
ures are colored boy slaves sitting
motionless on highly carved chairs,
also dressed in the eastern way. The
chairs are partly turned toward the
street. To a casual observer the
three figures appear to be statues,
but on close observation the girl is
seen to be artificial, while the boys
eyes are occasionally seen to roll
thus betraying the fact that they are
alive. To watch the people go up tt
the window and try to make out
whether the figures are plaster Of
paris or real human beings is mos
amusing; but let somebody mention
the word ''darky" and those eye:

Music from Electricity.

The public is becoming accustomed
to the sound of organs whose mech
anism is actuated by electricity; but
the idea of musical instrument in
which the electric current produces
the musical tones by no other means
than the conductor itself is startling
as well as puzzling. In the expert
ments of Won Lepel, in Germany, a
disk of glass or paper rubbed with
paraffine, placed between the ter1nin-
ais of the conductor (smal copper
wires) from a strong induction ma
chine, have thrown out with great
rapidity tiny balls of fire, which dis
appeared with faint whistling
sound.
A more definite and practical in
strument has been constructed, con
sisting chiefly of coils of wire of vari
Gus sizes and lengths. On passing
through the electric current a dis
tinct musical sound of peculiar quail
ity is given out.-New York Tele

Henry Labouehere's Political Experience.
It was in 1864 that Mr.. Labouchere
retired from the diplomatic service
and promptly turned his attention to
politics. By an odd coincidence this
extreme Radical entered the house Of
commons as a member for the royal
borough of Windsor. Within short
time he was unseated for alleged
bribery and corruption on the part
OF his election agents. That was in
1866 In the following year came
| the general election, and though all
over the country Liberals were re-
turned in swarms, Middlesex left Mr..
Labouchere out in the cold.
Up to this period he had not Sc
cured wide recognition outside of
parliament. The leading Liberal
newspaper of England, The Daily
News, was not paying property.
Labouchere was large stakeholder
in it. For time he devoted his en-
ergies to daily journalism, and the
breaking out of the Franco German
war gave him his great opportunity
1t was through his influence that
Archibald Forbes was at once sent az
war correspondent Labby himself
chose different field of action. Fore
seeing the siege of Paris, he yolun
tarily went over to Paris and took uI
his pen to give the outside world his
famous Diary CT Besieged Resi-
dent. " These letters, as published In
| The Daily News, securely established
Labouchere's reputation as clever
journalist. They were subsequently
gathered into a volume, but it has
been long out of print.-Cor. New
