cred the matter of disposns of street

of patented dumping scows to the city

scows, costing $1,000 each. II the city
bought the scows IL would mean that
s20o,0OO was paid to the Company for its
patent The scows are now rented by
the city at a cost of $4,000 a year, and
Commissioner Andrews figured out a
great saving to the city in five years II
the purchase was made. AS the city
will probably not continue to dump gar
bage at sea the investment might not
prove SO profitable. The members of the
Board were not enthusiastic over the
matter. either, and as matter Of form

The Cats Breath.

A recent publication criticises the notion that "a cat sucks away child's breath" This is merely an expression erroneous in it's form of physiological fact. All the felidae possess poisonous breaths, intended by nature to act as an an9sthetic on their prey. If per son cares to experiment by inhaling, for instance, cats breath, they can easily realize the truth of this state ment. Carefully watch cat playing with captured mouse. You will dis cover that the mouse does not suffer, but is sort of stupefied, as if by chloro- form. In the Life of Livingstone written by himself, he states that once when he was seized by lion and his arm broken, the crunching of the broken arm gave him no pain, so be- numbered were his senses by the ami malls breath. A cat seeks the child. its soft bed and the warmth of its body, and lies down on the chest of the infant It's weight impedes respira-' tion, it's breath anasthetizes the child, and death follows. This circumstance has actually occurred and medical rec ords conclusively prove it.-Brooklyn Standard-U Union.

The Doctors Rash Promise.

This is true tale, and it points a moral. A physician of this city had treated a certain gentleman and was asked the question:: How much do l owe you?"
 Three dollars" said the physician.
 But when the patient drew forth 8 ten dollar gold piece the healer looked chapfallen, and asked, anxiously Have you no change?"
 No" was the answer. "Only this and two nickels."
 ''Then give me the two nickels," said the physician, flor if take the gold shall be seven dollars out"
 The unhappy man had rashly prom ised his wife that all the gold taken in by him in the discharge of his calling should be his wife's perquisite.- isyille Courier-J ournal.

The Eyel,a1l.

The eyeball is white because the blood vessels which supply its surface are so very fine that they do not admit the red corpuscles of the blood. The covering of the eyeball, the tunica solerotcia, thus named for it hardness. is the largest and strongest coat of the eye, and covers the whole ball except the parts occupied by the entrance of the optic nerve behind and by the cornea before. It is formed of elastic fibers running in every direction, and closely interwoven with each other, and has few blood vessels compared with the choroids. The tendons of the four recti muscles of the eye are fixed to the forepart of the tunica solerotica. These are the cellular vagin9 covering them, and have been supposed to give an additional whiteness to the eye. and the part given such whiteness has been termed tunica albuginea, but the solerotic coat is everywhere a pure white, and can receive little additional brightness from any such covering. = Brooklyn Eagle.

Genuine Turkish Soap.

In shop window was recently dis played a quantity of dull gray blocks, stamped with the sultan's seal. They looked old and musty, and as if chil- dren had played house with them. A man who was passing spied the heap and exclaimed: "Oh. that is the famous olive soap made in Turkey!" and he at once darted into the shop and made a liberal purchase. Do you know" he said few minutes later, there's only one better soap in the world, it is used throughout the orient by the best people, and the sultan never allows it to leave the country. You cannot inn port it for love or money. This is the second quality, but it is very fine." And tucking the package under his arm the gentleman walked away, doubtless to take bath.-Boston Her. ald

THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.

Not fancy, merely. or the rush of feeling, guides the pen or brush. As tint by tint, and line by line. The verses grow, the colors shine! We ind with these the crowning art Whose magic can alone impart To genius all its highest gains The faculty of taking pains. Lo for the joy of years to be, Destined for immortality, We hail the statues marble grace. The loveliness of form and face. Nor dream what hours the sculptor wrought With tireless hand and anxious thought, Till from the stone, with stroke on stroke The unveiled beauty stirred and woke! The rapt musician, whose sweet strain Bids vanquished sorrow smile again Threw his whole soul, the while he wrote, Into each heaven-aspiring note, Pausing thousand times before His judgment passed the perfect score; For. holding meaner work in scorn, He toiled for ages yet unborn, They learn the secret of success. Who seek-content with nothing less Perfection, with no aim beside. And. missing this, dissatisfied, And they alone, in life's brief day, To fame and honor win their way Who first achieve, for such high gains. The strenuous art of taking pains.

FASCINATED BY GAMBLING.
Refined Women Often Made Helpless by Its
 Alluring Powers.

Aliuring Powers.
 It is often a matter of wonderment to me, said citizen of Washington, recently why it is that gambling, even under it's most alluring conditions. does not disgust persons of delicate feeling instead of attracting them.
 While visiting Monte Carlo few years ago happened to stroll into the Casino one afternoon and there saw seated at one of the tables beautiful. well-dressed lady, apparently about thirty years old. She had a purse full of gold in front of her and a large bun- dle of bank notes in her hand. She was playing rapidly, always stalking large sums, and in nearly every case she lost. She played boldly on, but her apparent composure was belled by her flushed checks and flashing eyes.
 After watching short time I left. In the evening returned again to the gaming room and beheld the lady seated at the same table. Her bank notes were all gone and she had put away her purse, as it was an easy task to hold her remaining gold in her hand. She sat looking fixedly at the table, from time to time moistening her lips with scarcely less dry tongue. Her face wore a look of infinite sadness, which might have been best relieved by burst of tears.
 She kept on playing steadily until all but her last coin was gone. She held it between her thumb and finger and gazed at it intently, as though de- batting with herself about rislSing it. She had evidently devised it for some matter of fact purpose, perhaps to pay her hotel bill. She did not hesitate long, however, for the temptation was more than she could withstand. and with hysterical little laugh she threw it on the table, only to see it ralked in by the croupier and placed among the rest she had lost.
