Jehn Jacob Astor's Thrift.

John Jacob Aston appears to have in
herited the quality of thrift from his an
eestors. The stories told about him in
the vicinity of his Office at Twenty-sixth
street and Broadway are scarcely credi-
BILE, in view of the enormous wealth of
the present head of the Aston family in
America. The general idea of hundred
millionaire is that when he gets shaved
at a public barber shop he gives the
barber tip. Mr.. Astor, however, is not
misled by any false idea of pride.
Hence, when he goes Into one of the bar
Der shops in the hotels near his Office
the boy is slow to assiskahim off with his
coat, and the BARRIERS glance at him in-
differently. On one occasion when his
hat had blown off in the street and be-
come stained with mud, Mr.. Astor al
lowed the boy to clean it up thoroughly
with alcohol aid soap and then thanked
the boy for his trouble. He was poorer
only in thanks.
He seldom eats in restaurants, though
his cousin. William Waldorf Astor,
nearly always ate his lunch at belmont
co.'s when he was an American. John
Jacob Astor's tip, when he gives one,
usually startles Delmonico waiter
something that large tip has never yet
accomplished. Mr.. Astor is tall, thin
and rather amiable in manner. He
reads the Italian, German and English
papers, apparently with equal facility,
and he is nearly always alone. 1t seems
incredible of the man that he should be
oharry of his tips because he wishes to
save money, for it is known that he en-
tertains literally on his yacht and in the
country, and he has donated large sums
to charity. 1t may be that he objects
to tips ON principle. 1t is certain that
he does not practice tipping in any form

Treatment of Eczema and salt
NEheum.

These two complaints are so tena.
cious that the readers of the NEWS AND
CITIZEN should know of the success OBJ
tanned by using DIR. David Kennedy
Favorite Remedy.
In cases where all other treatments
have failed, it has made a complete
cure.
Perhaps no more horrible case OF
Salt Rheum was ever reported than
that of Wilbur l.. Hale, of Rondout, N
\. Several physicians utterly failed
to render him any relief whatsoever 4;
it was finally suggested by one of the
physicians attending, that DIR. Kenne-
dy's FavOrite Remedy be tried, and
steady improvement followed its use,
and a permanent cure resulted.
1t is used with similar success in
cases of scrofula, nervousness. kidney
and liver complaints, and in all dis
eases brought about by bad blood and
shattered nerves.

New York Crowds.

The hurry and the hustle of New
York crowd! Everybody talks about it.
Everybody feels rushed. 1t is tradi-
ton that the whole population of the is
land of Manhattan is ON the dead run
fully 20 hours out of the "a. But some
time just take the time to notice the
crowd and your progress on the street
and at the same time actually try to
move rapidly. Don't try to move against
the crowd. That isn't fair test. Get
ON your own side of the walk and go
with the throng. Have five minutes in
which to get from Wall street to the
postoffice. You can easily doit, you say.
Try it.
See how many men you will stumble
up against in your haste. Notice the
number who are standing like trees in
the middle of the walk admiring the
pictures in the windows opposite. Watch
the action of the whole mass of people
when they come to a workman placing
stone in a new building. 1t will be
evident to you then that the normal con-
dition of New York crowd is one of
rest.
When one looks down upon the crowd,
it seems busy. 1t is really sluggish
stream. Try to go faster than the cur
rent and you will find how slow it really
is. Some people may move fast in the
streets. But the hurrying crowd? There
is no such thing.-New York Tribune.

New Years Is ..pin Money" Dav.

All ladies know what pin money is,
but it may be interesting to them to
learn the origin of the expression and
also to know that it is directly connected
with New Years day. Until the begin
ming of the sixteenth century the only
pins used by the poorer classes were
made of wood-in fact, they were not
pins at all, but skewers, which, for the
use of the wealthy, were of lockwood,
bone and silver. At the period above
named the metal pins now in use We're
invented, and people of fashion were
eager to possess them. They at once be-
came the most popular and acceptable
New Years gift for ladies, but it soon
grew customary to give, instead of the
pins themselves, the money with which
to purchase them, and this was called
'pin money" u term which gradually
came to be applied to all money given to
ladies for the general purpose of dress
and personal adornment.-Selected

New Years sunerstitinns.

The following superstitions in connec-
ton with New Years are still firmly be-
lieved in various parts of England, Ire
land, Scotland and Wales:
On New Years morning go to well
or fountains and leave an apple and nose
gay, and the water will keep fresh and
be more wholesome all the year.
If dark complexioned man crosses
your threshold first on New Years day,
You will be prosperous; if Il blond, I'M
lucky, and if u redheaded man dire dis
aster will surely follow.-Selected

coming out in constellations-a bril-
liant night heavens-and you involun-
tarily exclaim: Beautiful beautiful"
Then he takes the lantern down in other
depths of the cavern, and wanders on,
and wanders off, until he comes up
from behind the rocks gradually, and it
seems like the dawn of the morning, and
it gets brighter and brighter. The guide
is skilleI rentriloquist, and he imi-
tates the voices of the morning, and
soon the gloom is all gone, and yoC
stand congratulating yourself over the
wonderful spectacle. Well, there are
great many people who look down into
the grave as a great cavern. They
think it is thousand miles subterran-
eous, and all the echoes seem to be the
voices of despair, and the cascades seem
to be the falling tears that always fall,
and the gloom of earth seems coming
up in stalagmite, and the gloom of the
eternal world seems descending in the
stalacite, making pillars of indescriba-
BILE horror. The grave is no such place
at that to me, thank God.
Our divine Guide takes us down into
the great caverns, and we have the lamp
to our feet and the light to our path,
and all the echoes in the riffs of the
rock are anthems, and all the falling
waters are fountains of salvation, and
after awhile we look up and, behold!
the cavern of the tomb has become
kings star chamber. And while we are
looking at the pomp of it an everlast-
ing morning begins to rise, and all the
tears of earth crystalline into stalag
mite, rising up in pillar on the one
lide, and all the glories of heaven seem
to be descending in stalactite, making a
pillar ON the other side, and you push
against the gate that swings between
the two pillars, and as the gate flashes
open you find it is one of the 10 gates
which are 12 pearls. Blessed be God
that through this gospel the mammoth
cave of the sepulcher has become the IL
lumined Star Chamber of the King!
would God that if my sermon today
does not lead you to Christ, that before
morning, looking out of the window,
the astronomy of the night heavens
might lead you TO the feet of Jesus.
Harkl Hark! To God the chorus breaks
From every host, from every gem;
But one alone, the Saviour speaks
Is the Star of Bethlehe IN.

The Dandelion Road.

A certain railroad in the west is very
much in need of an equipment of scythes,
mowers and the like. In the proper sea-
son dandelions grow in such profusion
on its right of way that the passing train
mats them down on the rails and the
moisture pressed out, which is very ole
aginous, causes the wheels to slip badly.
Passengers have been known to abandon
the train and walk to their destination.
The road has been styled by the facetious
public as the ''Dandelion road" an APP
pellation for which no reason need be
given.-Hardware
