pertown.


A number of citizens Of Uppertown.
among them several ladies, who called at
the Astorian office ia.A might, complained
in the most vigorous language of the
cruelty praclticed upon the honses used
by tle contractors in the grading of the
lot upon which will be erected the new
Store OF ScholneM & HIuke.
1t was stated that tine gyound being ex-
cavated Is very wet, and that while
there is not u ba1l1y or mean nome in the
outfit anl all of them seemed anxious to
do uae bgdllng of their human(0 masters
yet the condition of the ground is such
that they cam not move the heavy loads
in many instances. One of the ladies was
an eye witness to such scene where
The driver in his effort to force the AMI
ml,s to move load beyond their strength
unmercifuEy beat and clubbed them over
the heads. In another instance the hind
legs of the animals were fastened with
chains ana in the effort to pull load
uIgfer the lash the hide and flesh were
torn.
II the officers of the city do not serve
such monsters as thase with the treat-
ment they deserve, dhey certainly will

The Poor Bishop.

A well-known bishop, who takes a
prominent interest in everything af-
fecting the working classes, wishing to
Judge for himself what a journey in a
workman's carriage was like. took a
ticket and joined the miscellaneous
crowd who fill these trains on the Great
Eastern Railway, says London paper.
After a most undignified struggle for
a seat he found himself damned in be-
tween navy, smoking a strong black
pipe, on his right, and an artist in house
painting, smelling strongly of his craft,
and carefully balancing a can Of green
paint, on his left hand. In addition to
apprehensions for the safe balance of
this can and the very unpleasant odors
arising. the good bishop was much
shocked by the bad language which
garnished the conversation of his
neighbors. After particularly strong
expression from the navy, the bishop,
touching him gently, inquired:
MY good man, please tell me where
you learn the language you have just
made use OFF,
The navy replied, with a suspicion,
of pride in his tone: Learn it, guv'-
nor, You can't learn it. It's gift

TRIED TO KILL VICTORIA.

Six Attempts Have Been Made on the
British Queens Life.
Since her Majesty came to the throne
she has been the subject of six attacks.
but only three OF them can be described
as attempts on her life. The first at
tack on the Queen occurred on Consti-
tuition Hill, on June 10, 1910. soon after
her marriage, the assailant being pot
boy named Edward Oxford. Two years
later. on May 80, 1912. John Francis
fired at the Queen when within few
feet of her carriage. This outrage also
took place on Constitution Hill. In
July of the same year a crack-brained
lad named Bean leveled loaded pistol
at her Majesty. who was driving from
Buckingham Castle to the Chapel Roy
al, st. James. but the weapon missed
fire. In May, 1850, Robert Pate, an ex-
lieutenant in the Hussars, as the royal
carriage was emerging from the Duke
of Cambridge's gate, struck the Queen
with a stick, leaving mark on her
cheek and crushing her bonnet. In
February, 1872, youth named Arthur
O'Connor presented an old and I'M
loaded pistol at her Majesty as she was
entering Buckingham Palace, and on
March 2. 1882. a man named Roderick
Maclean deliberately fired at the Queen
as she was driving from Windsor Sta
ton to the castle, but no damage was
done.

The Cranberry is supposed to have
been SO named from the appearance Of
its bud. Just before expanding into
the perfect flower, the stem, calyx and
petals resemble the head, neck and bill
OF a crane-hence the name, crane
berry," or Cranberry" The cranberry
belongs to the Order Ericaceale, or
heath family, and to the genus vacci-
mum. Bilberries and whortleberries
also belong to the same genus. There
are two species of cranberries growing
