and was source of fun for all OF them.
Finally the next crowd, among which
was the writer, sat down before plain
soup and bread. The fluid they pleased
to called coup was made of water, po-
tatoes, cabbages and broken bread.
When the soup ran low more water
was added, and thus all were fed. The

AS soon as the tickets were distributed
250 men lined up along the sidewalk
preparatory to entering the dining"
room. AS the ticket was suggestive of a
real meal the writer anticipated some-
thing at least up to the average. He
scanned the ticket closely, showing that
he was indeed new to the life. All sorts
of fun was poked at him when Shorty
informed some of.the old-timers that a
"greenie" was amongst them.
Presently the door was opened. The
crowd filed in. Steaming bowls of soup
and coarse thick bread were placed along
the tables. About half OF the unfort-
unate tramps sat down, the others re-
naming standing until room was made
for them.

for breakfast-eoup and bread-by 7
o'clock. A tub at the back door served
as a basin wherein the tramps bathed
their faces. After eating came shaving.
A long row of boxes against the
fence served as barber chairs. Some
ludlcrous scenes were witnessed in this
back yard.
LIFE OF TRAMP.
The result of the HERALD reporters
round with Shorty may be summed up
as follows:
The life OF a tramp is made MP OF
fragments. He is an outcast to such an
extent that his social condition brands
him as the lowest of mankind. The ale
be drinks is stale and unfit for uee.
Like rejected bread. others will not buy
it, so it is sold at a price within
reach OF the tramp. The bread remain
ing from the meals served at the best
hotels goes to the poorer hotels and res
taurants, thence to the tables d'hote.
Alter it has been refused for third
time it goes to the tramp or garbage
ground. The ordinary tramp has the
same downward course, and eventually
finds a resting place in the city's garb-
age ground for paupers.
The tramp is born, not made. There
are only two things that frighten him
the bulldog and the bucksaw. The
California specimen of this element of
mankind, owing to the genial climate
and perennial sunshine, ia an independ-
ent, happy, robustious animal, seldom
willing to work. Yet there are many
honest hearts among them.
There is no doubt certain fascination
about the life OF the tramp. He sees
the eide of life that no other class sees
yet, if the writer were to give advice to
the tramp, it would be sign placed
prominently before him. 1t would read:

Big Mike suggested that all hands sd-

The information was vaguely received
by the writer. as Kelly's was "a new

''soup time" at O'Clock in the after
noon?
However, the party of tramps moved

Along the street the trio was joined
by tramps of all conditions, all bent on
going to the same place. Old and
stopped men, beardless youths, some Of
them "hobos" of the worst type, joined
the crowd. Some of them had not
worked for year-partly from choice
and partly from inability to secure
work.

claimed:

An PIen.

A legal decision has been rendered
In Philadelphia which Illustrates the
transitional nature Of the progress now
being made in electrical science. An
electric light consumer disputed his bill
on the ground that the meter did not
measure correctly. There is no surer
way Of throwing the average electri-
clan into the widest excitement than
by mentioning casually the fact that
electricity Is in its infancy" but this
truism was turned to profitable account
when the case was brought into court.
The complainant pleaded that notwith-
standing the apparent progress of re-
cent years in electricity, the science is
still in the infantile stage; that the COM
pany had adopted a meter, which, in
their judgment, was the best that could
be found; that the affidavit Of the de-
tense did not indicate in what respect,
manne or particular the meter was in
correct, and that it gave no standard
by which such ~incorrectness or correct
ness could be tested. The court sus-
tanned this view, aud entered judgment
accordingly.

An Austrian Custom When a Wom-

a bride being cast off, as it were, by

the late Arch-duchess Louise of Tus-
cany. The arch-duchess entered the
church followed by 81 long train of
royal and noble Austrian ladies.
They stood in q semi-circle around

p aced the ring upon her finger; they

At the marriage of Marie Antoin-
cite this custom, which in her case
was observed only on the French
frontier, had o pathetic denoue-

of France she refused to be let, and,
