She Knew Something,

In an alley off Grand River avenue 6 laundry wagon was being turned a tri1e too sharply when over it tumbled against fence, and down went the horse. Three men in an instant were upon the animal, one sitting on his head. Passersby rushed up the alley, and the usual avalanche of suggestions were showered forth: "Put something under his knees. Look out for his hoofs'' 'Loosen the traces" "Tilt the wagon right. "Give him room, and he'll get up himself," Finally the wagon was dragged away, the gentleman sitting on the horses head maintaining his position. Butter fingers fooled with the harness until everything was reported clear. "Stand backl'' the man on the head shouted, "or he'll kick the daylights out of your' The crowd drew back, but the horse did not rise. "Loosen the belly band, you blamed duffers!' floated over the heads of the horse raisers. It came from woman looking out of nearby window. The order was silently obeyed, and the horse jumped to his feet.-Detroit News

Yellow Rooms.

A man who has given the subject much thought has laid down few rules which are worth thinking about 1T have not, !" said he, "put yellow into sitting room in ten years, with the exception of the little that gets into gold paper, and when hear about Whistler's yellow room it makes me shudder.
 "Yellows are all right for hall or vesti- bule, but they must not be used in any room in which one rests or reads or works. Why? Because yellows do not absorb any light, but are strong reflectors, and the re- dected rays of light are not only trying to the eyes, but positively affect the brain and the spirits, creating distinct disturbance of the nervous centers. So the modern scientific decorator, at any rate, tells us, and we believe him.
 "On the other hand, buffs and creams are recommended for the nursery and cbil- dren's sleeping rooms because of their tonic qualities. They are better than white, which is apt to disturb the young optic nerves by its brilliancy, and are cal culated to impart cheerful but not toe boisterous temperament as we'll as good complexion to the youngsters. ."-Uphol- sterer.

One Drink Makes Some Men Drunk All
 Day and Others Crazy.
 Captain Casson of the British bark Gu pica, while at Astoria, on his way out to sea from Portland, gave a reporter some interesting facts in regard to the gagus plant and the terrible effects it has on tho natives of the Gauptil island, where it grows. Captain Casson is an authority on matters pertaining to the South Sea is- lands. In speaking of the gagus plant Cap tain Casson said:
 "It is a species of cactus, and, as I said, grows only. to my knowledge, on the Gauptil island. The island is a small one, but is we'll populated by natives of the Ma lay race. In the interior this plant grows wild, fourishing especially in tho red, rocky soil. It looks beautiful when grow ing, as you may judge by the bright hues with which it is spotted. Opium is po- tent drug, but 1 am certain that the ex- tract from the gagus plant is calculated to do more damage to the hunen system. The natives cut the plant in the early spring. After they have gathered 8 suffi- oient quantity, they put it in large bowls and crush it with huge stones.
 "A grayish sap runs out freely, and this they collect and drink, after letting it fer ment, which it does easily. Within half an hour after imbibing it the thinker be- comes perfectly stupid and lies around like log. The spell lasts day or more during which time the natives say they live in paradise, have known sailors to try 1t, but never twice. Three years ago a man in my crew was driven crazy by one drink. The first effect of the liquor Is to soften the bones and gradually eat them away There are natives there, the vic tims of gagus, who are indeed boneless and unable to walk or use their limbs. Then they begin to wither away, until they die in misery and convulsions. Usu- ally two years will finish the hardest man. The sufferings of the slaves to the drink are terrible San Francisco Chronicle.

Dairy Items.

The New York price for milk for August is 2t cents per quart; 1t is fixed by committee.
 The question just now uppermost in the minds of the New York wholesale milk dealers is where they are going to find sufis sient milk to serve their trade the coming Fall and Winter. Milk is already becoming noticeably short, on account of the great drought through out New York state, where the major part of the milk supply Is usually fur nished. The hay crop in that section is almost complete failure, and the farmers may be compelled to blow up their lands to get their grass started again. Stock Is being sold off and shipped out of the section at prices lower than ever before. good COWS sell ing for $500 to $500 Many car loads are being shipped daily form stations on the Ulster & Delaware, Ontario & Western and Erie railroads. It would seem, therefore, that higher prices will be made for milk and that much of the supply will necessarily have to come from east of the Hudson river. Farmers who contemplate put ting on stock can buy cheaply in Sulli- van and Delaware counties.
 The Philadelphia, Reading & New England R. R. has built shipping creamery at Mcintyre, which was open ed for business on Monday last and which is leased to Walker < Witt. who are representative milk men. They are taking in and shipping % cans per day. The butter creamery near by has closed up. -

They Had Been Trained to Steal Car Tickets Out of the Box.

They Had Been Trained to Steal Car
 Tickets Out of the Box.
 Bobtail cars were all the go in St. Louis at one time They were not so popular with the people as with the companies, as they were small and inexpensive affairs, the driver acting in the dual capacity of driver and conductor.
 The farebox at the forward end, with its series of trapdoors and front and back of glass, was supposed to be an efficient device for the protection of the compaDy's interests. At that time car tickets passed everywhere as currency. The peanut stands, the saloons and all retail stores accepted them at their face value for purchases.
 The drivers knew this, and some of them would evolve schemes to abstract the coveted tickets after they were deposited by the passengers in tho box. This was no easy matter, as the inventor had so fix ed its internal arrangements that robbing the box by a curved wire or any pliable instrument was deemed an impossibihty.
 One driver took live grasshopper, tied his two hind legs together to piece of thread so that he was helpless. The in- genious cuss would then pry open some of the slanting trapdoors with small stick and slowly let MT. Grasshopper slide over one door, through another and so on down into the bottom of the box among the tick ets. The hopper had the use of his four small legs, and when his master pulled the thread to which the insect was attached the hopper naturally grabbed hold of somo of the tickets.
 A grasshopper when secured by the hind legs, will hold firmly with his fore legs to anything that comes within reach. As soon as the hopper reached tho tickets he was pulled around the angles in the box and out, bringing with him from one to five or six tickets. The tapping was done at the end of the line or on some lone some part of the road.
 If the fellow who matched that scheme had kept it to himself, perhaps the railway company would never have discovered his rascality. This chap had @ long head and tried to make all he could out of his lucky find. He went into the wholesale grass hopper business. He knew that grasshop- pers were not to be had in winter; there fore he laid in a supply. He fed them and took care of them. When Jack Frost cleared the fields of the chirpers, he started out on tour among the drivers. He was careful about sounding his man first, and to those who were willing to be tempted he showed how the trick could be done. He had the grasshoppers and would fur nish them at $1 apiece. By taking care of the hopper it would be good for week, no matter how cold the weather. He piled his trade with some boldness, and it even- tually led to his downfall and @ wholesale discharge of drivers on several of the lines. St. Louis Globe Democrat.
