EFFECT OF Environment.

Powerful Influence of Napkins and But
ter Knives and New Street Cars.
The proprietor of a restaurant which
was cheap, but yet not a "beanery,"
had a certain lot of customers that he
did not want. 'They don't belong
here; they are too tough. They ought
TO go to a Park row beanery to eat.
How shall get rid of them?" he
asked.
PUT napkins and butter knives on
the tables" was the answer of wise
man, land if that doesn't send 'em,
table cloths will, sure"
Napkins and butter knives proved to
be enough.
Early morning travellers in the cars
of the Third avenue street car line
have recently seen another example of
the effect of environment. During the
year before the cable road was COM
pleted this company's old horse cars
were getting into bad condition, and
the worst looking of the cars were run
in these early morning hours. To a
man who went home by that line about
four or five o'clock every morning it
seemed as if the Bowery and Park row
were getting more and more drunken
and disorderly. Drunken parties
boarded the old cars and had fun with
the conductor and annoyed the other
passengers. Windows were often
smashed. The conductors had to pay
for the broken glass, and sometimes
they could coax the money out of the
boisterous persons and sometimes not.
1t was unpleasant all around.
All of this changed at once with the
advent of the handsome cable cars.
Whats become of your drunken
people?" was asked recently of con-
ductor who had been a frequent suffer
er.
81 don't know" he said. 1.-THE Bow
cry seems to have got sober all at once.
They never get aboard nowadays, and
haven't had a cents worth of damage
done since the new cars began rum

THE PEPPER TREE.
Introduced In California for Its Shade
Curious Plant.

Introduced In California for Its shade-A
Curious Plant.
For many years in the gardens of ths
curious plant was frequently grown
called Schinus Molle. Its chief in
terest to the public mind was the fact
that when the leaflets were broken in
little pieces and placed on the surface
of vessel of water they would dart
and shoot like living creatures in every
direction. This was believed to be-
caused by the propulsion of gas from
the veins and mid ribs.
This tree has now been introduced
into California for the purpose of shade,
and is widely known as the pepper
tree. 1t exudes gummy matter from
the foliage, which is said to cover the
tops of carriages driving under it with
spots The gum forms good denti-
frice, and it is said that lotion made
from the bark is good for reducing in
Examinations.
1t was supposed to be tree which
would be distasteful to all insects; but
the California papers tell US that In
that country it is subject to the raw
ages of scale insect; and this is about
the only defect to its general use as
first-class shade tree. = Meehan'a

They arose one mornin', as had been

Gabe Harker, who had gone down in
the audience where he could better

"The court will not permit itself to

gentleman from Philadelphia is gropin'

to suppress the fact an set still an try

AN the court knows that the liberty

Big Sam said he really didn't know,
but he thought judge ought to know
more than a common miner.
"Of course he should" the Judge con-
tinued, IAN if the offspring from a
dug-out cradle interrupts me ag'in I'll

1.-The one-hoss jedge of a halfhoss
court can't teach me nothin'. If he
comes down here I'll beat hole in the
ground with him"
The judges coat came off like a
fash, and he bounded from the plat
form. Gabe was waiting for him, and
the two men came together like in
furiated bulls. The excited crowd
surged around the combatants with
eager interest, some encouraging the
child of liberty, while others urged
the judicial light to greater efforts in
defense of the honors he had accorded
to Columbus. On and on they fought,
kicking, biting, wrestling, striking,
until at last the Philadelphia bore
the Judge to earth and jumped on his
PROSTATE form with both feet Then
the bystanders interfered, and the de-
feated man, more dead than alive, was
picked up in an unconscious condition
and borne to his cabin.
While the dance was at its height
that evening sympathetic group stood
around the rude bunk on which rested
the demoralized form of the Judge.
Opening his swollen eyes the injured
man feebly said:

a roar from old man Jamison's army
muslzet awoke the echoes and the den
liens of the camp simultaneously, and
soon the report of firearms accompan
led by lusty yells could be heard or
every hand. When the midsummer
sun rose in regal splendor over the
range to the eastward, its slanting
rays lit up a most enlivening scene
The entire population of Jimtown and
several adjacent camps had assembled
on the main street, and a liberal dis
play of flags on every hand lent color
to the strange picture. And such flags!
In those early days the red shirt was
the most conspicuous part of male at
tire, and every partly worn shirt in the
diggings and many that had not yet
shown, break had been sacrificed to
serve as stripes in the roughly con-
structed emblems of liberty. The de-
mand at the one general store of the
camp for muslin of which to form the
white stripes and the stars and to be
dyed with indigo to serve as fields in
which the stars could CLEAN was
great, and the limited stock of that
half-white, half-yellow unbleached
material was soon exhausted. Gabe
Harker, who as father of the celebra-
ton idea felt that the success of the
day largely depended on his individual
efforts, determined that large flag
should head the marching column, and
his CONSERVATION can be imagined
when he learned that not another
shred of white material could be pro
cured for love or gold dust. 1t had all
been consumed in the manufacture Of
small individual flags.
But Gabe's bump of ingenuity was OF
true Yankee growth There was but
one woman in the camp, the wife of a
pioneer who had dared the dangers of
the plains in the early SOS and crossed
from the states behind an OK team
with her husband, and toward her
cabin Gabe somewhat reluctantly bent
his steps. To his embarrassment he
found that her husband was absent at
work in his claim, for it was through
him that he intended to transact the
business upon which he came. When
told by the wife that the man was alb
sent he contemplated retreat, but re-
alization of the great responsibilities
which rested upon him nerved him to
action. and he made known his errand.
He wanted to purchase couple of
her old white skirts to aid in the con-
struction of the glorious stars and
stripes.

To his intense delight she expressed
her willingness to contribute that much
to the cause of liberty. Nay, more.
She had in her rag bag an old red fan
mel petticoat which had performed its
mission and been retired, and If Gabe
would furnish the thread she would
not only contribute the material, but
would cut out and make the flag. He
muttered something about the spirit of
the Daughters of the Revolution being
vet alive and kicking, and FASTENED to
the store to secure the thread aud COM
mend Mrs. Porter's patriotism to all
whom he should chance to meet.
The matter of music greatly worried
the committee of arrangements. The
only musical instruments in the camp
were Big Sans banjo and an old bat
tered brass tuba owned by man who
had once played in a band back in the
states; and. although the tuba man
volunteered to head the procession and
do the very best he could, the commit
tee. after considerable discussion, con-
cluded the music might be rather fat
! without drum, and as no drum could
be secured the procession must march
without music. The tuba man was en-
gagged to play bass accompaniment
| to Jack Abrams and the majors open
ing song. and for several days practiced
industriously on my Country, Ills of
Thee"
The parade was success In every
particular. The absence of music was
scarcely observable, for the ringing
cheers of the merry people as they
marched through the town would have
drowned the notes of any band of or
| binary power. Mrs. Porter, although
not SO young or handsome as the pic
lures we see of that noted character,
marched at the head of the procession,
representing the Goddess of Liberty,
dressed IN as gorgeous an array of stars
and stripes as her limited supply of
old skirts could produce. She was ac-
corded royal honors, and marched with
the naughty step of a queen.
The first number of the stand pro-
gramme was announced, and Abrams
and the major made simultaneous
bow which they had acquired only

them but few moments to properly
pitch the tune, and then they broke
forth in glad song, closely followed by
the mellow notes of the tuba. The
reading of the Fourth Reader selection
by Pete Craven was very creditable in
the light of his Introductory statement
that it had been several years since he
had read anything, even a newspaper.
The banjo solo was omitted for the
reason that while tuning up Big Sam
had broken the most important string
on the instrument, and there was not
another one in the camp.
Then came the event of the day, the
grafton by Judge Ramsay. That hon.
ored and honorable official stepped to
the front of the platform in deliber-
ate manner, ran his left hand into the
front of his vest, calmly and impress
sively surveyed the great audience in
silence for few moments and began:

NAL celebration of the Fourth of July
at Jimtown little attention was paid
to his words The inhabitants of that
rough mining camp cared no more for
national holidays than for the Sab
bath day, their one ruling ambition be-
ing to unearth the coveted grains of
gold from the California soil. But
Gabe insisted that the day should be
properly celebrated, and so eloquently
championed the idea that at last the

it. then talk ot it, and at last express
