Christmas was never observed in Sui
wan alley, from occult cause. with the
hme vim and spirit that made New
Years so memorable a festival. Per
maps IL was because there was a dim.
undefned sentiment that Christmas
was hoiier day than New Years; but.
however IL might have been, the fact
remained that New Years was the
great day OF the year for those who tn
habited that narrow alley that extend
ed only from one street TO another
through the middle of the block. There
were tall tenement houses on each side
of the alley double deckers" some. OF
them, and in each lived from 10 10 20
families. The people were all hard work
Ing and honest. IL their hands were not
white and soft, they were strong aud
capable.
The alley swarmed with children
little girls staggering under the load OF
baby aud the boys under load OF
old laths or coal, gathered In their reg
blar trips in search OF such family
becessi,ies. The mothers generally
-toiied in their rooms with willing
hearts, while the men OF the household
were away plying their different avoca-
lions. The young daughters OF Sullivan
alley were mostly employed in box fac
tories or mills or al cigarette making.
and so every morning the alley was
almost depopulated, to overflow again
at night when the tired workers re-
turned.

Phases of the Ohio River

To the artist the silyery, shrunken
Ohio, winding feebly between green and
everlasting hills, is charming spectacle
worthy of transfer to canvas and subse-
quent hanging in favored place in the
home of a purchaser.
But to the practical Pittsburger the
swollen, turbid, oil stained Ohio, career
ing to the Mississippi through a bleak
landscape of sncw sprinkled hills, is a
sight more attractive than any afforded
in midsummer.
For the larger Ohio bears on its muddy
breast the deep laden coalboats whose
contents are not more needed by New Or
leans and Memphis than the money the
coal represents is needed by our river
operators and shippers. These regard
the Ohio as most lovable stream when,
after months Of picturesque idleness, it
arises in its mightand boasts of 12 feet"
If our local artists wish to make a
painting of the Ohio which will be sala-
BILE to coal shipper, they must portray
the stream with that number of feet,
with the tawny name of swirling water
and a procession of coalboats heading
for the sunny south. A "coalboat." it
might be added, is one that requires 10
feet of water to float it and is helpless
to reach the lower markets on stage of
water that will let out coal "barge. -

A Parallel to Tyndall,s Death,

is to be found case curiously parallel
in many of its details to the sad death
of Professor Tyndall. The entry runs
as follows:

IN administering a qufautrry or 1aoioanum
instead of draft which had been pre-
yiously prescribed. His grace having
expressed some impatience that the draft
had not arrived, Mrs. Stuart inquired of
the servant if it had come, and being an
svered in the affirmative she desired 1t
might be brought to her Immediately.
The under butler went to the porter and
demanded the draft for his master. The
man had just received it, together with
a. two ounce vial of laudanum for his own
use. which he was in the habit of taking
occasionally in small quantities for dis
ease with which he was afflicted. Most
unluckily in the hurry of the moment,
instead of giving the draft intended for
the archbishop, he accidentally substitute
ed the bottle which contained the lauda-
mum. In few minutes the mistake was
discovered, but before medical assistance
could be procured he was beyond relief. y

The following genuine "bull' story is
related by down town merchant: An
out of town customer, 10 whom some
goods had been shipped, discovered, as
he thought, mistake in the bill over
charging him to considerable amount.
He wrote to the merchant in the city
without delay, and the letter was duly
received. 1t dwelt at length on careless
ness in general and particularly in the
case of this bill, waxing indignant over
the foolish mistake and demanding a cor
rect bill at once. At the foot Of the let

At the end of Is days he was suffering
from all the most painful and aggravat-

leading doctors of Geneva, who first
treated the case, informed him that he

at last removed with difficulty to Paris,
but the inflammation and weakness OF

The Color of Man.

The color of the skin in the various
races of man has never yet been scien-
tifcally accounted for, although numer-
Gus NEUROLOGICAL stories have been told
and senseless theories advanced as rea-
sons for the remarkable variations in
hue. Nor have we any certain data
concerning the color of the cuticle of
the primeval man, the original "lord
of creation. A pretty African legend
is that he was as black as the proven
bal ace of spades and that the present
pale color of the Caucasian race is the
result of the scare God gave Adam at
the time of the fall.
1t is proper to state here that the
same legend says that the present black
race are descendants Of one of Adams
SONS that was born and left Eden before
the great change IN color overlook our
first parents. The Chinese believe that
the original man was creature half
god and half man, and that his color
came about as result of bathing in a
river Of liquid gold. The Mussulmans,

entail tribes and nations account for
their prevailing red or copper color by
telling the story of the great being Gre

Removing Paint.

"Never use turpentine to take the
paint off your hands, but always use
kerosene" said a pretty and energetic
lady who plies the brush most vigorous
", albeit in a very unitarian fashion,

sary household renovations and not dis
daining even to varnish her own village
cart when it needs it. 'Turpentlne
roughens the hands excessively" she
continued, but kerosene, on the con-
trary, keeps them beautifully soft and
white For your brushes you should also
keep a small keg of oil ready and put
them in it directly until you are ready to
wash them. 1t quite ruins your brushes
