Color In the streets.


A suggestion has been made by an in
benious writer which deserves the sym
pathetic attention of all who are inter-
ested in the personal appearance Of the
metropolis. Though lucid intervals Of
sunshine occur in which "the ancient
Strand" takes on glory such as that
described by Mr.. Henley In his London
Voluntaries," we have now reached
season in which the prevalent aspect Of
our streets is one Of we'll nigh unre-
lieved gloom. So long as the weather is
dry certain amount Of variety is In
fused into what one may call the street.
scape by the hats and dresses Of our
womankind.
But when the rain comes down and
the ladies stay indoors almost the only
cheerful objects to meet the eye are what
Homer would have called the ruddy
checked omnibuses and pillar posts.
"Why," asks the writer, "cannot this
idea be elaborated in the cause of art
and cheerfulness2" And he goes on to
plead eloquently in favor Of the intro
duction of "merry mackintoshes" scar
let, orange, sky blue, emerald green and
purple-and brightly tinted umbrellas.
The idea certainly deserves a trial.
At present, with that utter absence Of
| all sense Of proportion which character
ICES the actions of civilized humanity in
regard to dress, we don our gayeat garb
when the sun is brightest, and reserve
our most sober habiliments for days
when the sky is overcast and the sun in
visible In other words, we enter into Q
vain competition with the all suficing
radiance of nature, and strive to accen-
tuate her gloomiest moods. Rather, in
the interest of happiness and 1nirth,
should we endeavor to counteract the
depressing influence of fog and damp by
lavish display Of bright and exhilarat-
ing color. Armed with an emerald green
mackintosh-painted in luminous paint
for use at night-a man would radiate
cheerfulness even in the midst of a
"London particular. London Graphic.

Edward Kelly, an aged farmer living
near Griffin's Corners, Delaware county,
is known in the neighborhood where hs
resides as somewhat Of q missr. He
places no faith in banks or securities,
except greenbacks. Some time ago he
sold tract Of land for large sum Of
money, which he added to his accumu-
lated hoard, making in all nearly $10,.
600. This week he had occasion to ex-
anime his treasure, which he kept se-
creted In an old bootbox, concealed
among quantity Of newspapers. He
was surprised to find that some mice had
entirely destroyed his fortune in prepar.
ing for themselves winter quarters. Nota
piece Of money was left large enough for
Identification. The old man raved like
q maniac when no discovered his loss.-

Tom Moore's Old Harp.

Mr.. George w. Childs has the very
harp that the people of Limerick pre-
sented to Tom Moore-"the pride Of all
circles and the idol of his own" Moore's
widow gave the harp to an English earl,
who in turn presented it to George w.
Childs. Upon one occasion he lent 1t to
Miss Morgan, and she used 1t In New
York at one of her concerts. ts.-Exchange

No Undertakes

Japan has no undertakes. When a
person dies there it is the custom for
his nearest relatives to put him in his
coffin and bury him. Many years ago,
it is said, the tycoon issued a drcree
putting to death all undertakers in his
country on account of their exorbitant
charges for burying the dead. When
Japan changed her laws to conform
more to Western ideas, this custom
was not altered, as it was learned that
undertakers in "civilized" lands still
adhered to the customs so summarily
abolished by the Tycoon.
