When Barnum made his contract
with Jenny Lind, he stipulated that
she should not sing at private parties.
That the far-seeing Snowman knew
what he was about this anecdote
proves:
Paderewsli was invited to tea by a
New York millionaire, and the pianist
rather coldly referred his intended host
to his agent at Chickering hall. When
the agent was seen the first question he
asked was:
II suppose Mrs. v. will expect Pad

Turkey Stopped the Train.

Swarms of locusts are well known to
have stopped railway trains, but up to
this time it was probably never heard
that single turkey had power to ac-
complish that feat. How it was done,
in Oxford, Pa, is described in the Phil
adelphia Public Ledger: The engine
was putting hard on an upgrade, and
passed under an overhanging limb of q
large tree in front of farmhouse. On
thc limb were several turkeys at roost
The exhaust steam was so strong that
it knocked hen turkey from her perch,
and she came down upon the bell-rope
The bell rang, and the engineer
brought the train to halt! Then, of
course, the conductor hastened forward
to know what was the matter, and one
of the trainhands discovered the bird
still fitting upon the rope, and giving
utteranc0 to notes which, it is fair to
presume, were expressive of surprise.
The men set up roar, the bird took
wing, and the engine again began to
Duff.

The Ohio River Bottom.

Although flowing in so deep a
trough, the present Ohio river is con-
siderably elevated above the ancient
bottom. This is owing to the fact that
during the glacial period such an ex-
cessive amount of gravel was brought
down from the Allegheny river and
northern tributaries that the old
channel was silted up to considerable
depth. At Cincinnati there is more
than one hundred feet of gravel be-
tween the present river bottom and the
rock bottom. Below the mouths of the
most important northern tributaries
the accumulations were much greater
than this.

600 of it paid in. that has divided in
a single year among three partners
profits TO the amount Of $4,000, and
that exclusive of salaries Of $4,000
and $4,000 drawn by two members Of
che firm.
Ten years ago one of these partners
was a drug clerk on a small salary in
a western town and is now one OF the
miIlionaires of New York. without
rewsnaper advertising I might have
made a living" he said. "but 1t was
advertising that made me rich, and
advertising "a very simple commodity
at that"
Another concern. which began by
investing $4,000 a year in newspaper
advertising. increased the amount
every year according to their increase
of business. and this year expects to
spend S1.OO0000.
These are not at all uncommon
c,ses and are. i'm fact, only samples
of the enormous profits that are con-
stantly being realized from shrewd
newspaper advertising.

That was a crushing piece Of sar-
casm that Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott
hurled from the pulpit at those poll
ticians who are going out of business
in his city Of Brooklyn. He suggests
that as a measure of economy the city
provide for their support. 1t would
relieve the public from their impor-
tunities. and. what is more important,
remove the danger their presence con-
sdmtes in public Office. They ought
to be got out Of the way, DR.. Abbott
argues. and he declares that 1t would
be a better plan to build an asylum
Mt the expense Of the county in which
to keep and support those poor people
who can't get anything to do unless
the State or the city supports them
than to give them work to do for the
State or for the city that they are in
competent to perform.
This is a sufficiently hot roast, but
DR.. Abbott might have added that a
large percentage of these men are cor
rupt. as we'll as incompetent and that
their presence in public Office is de-
moralizing.
