GLAD HAND OR MARBLE HEART.
Dusty Rhodes Knows by the Sign
Which to Expect.

Dusty Rhodes Knows by the Sign
Which to Expect.
Tramps have invented picture Ian
guage all their own. A small diamond
shaped chalk drawing on a fence or
gate post near house is a gladdening
sight to the eyes of Moist Mike or
Hungry Henry. 1t means that the resi-
dents are full of the milk of human
kindness and will give food or other
assistance when asked without ques-
ton. The simple sign of the cross on
the other hand, warns the tramp to
pass the house, as it's occupants are
cold and unsympathetic. The triangle
pointed downward indicates that the
house it refers to has been pretty stead
lily visited by tramps and that its peo-
pie may have become tired of the con-
tinued assaults upon pantry and pa
thence, but that no harm could ensue
from a trial. A cross within a circle
suggests proper line of procedure to
him who tramps and reads. 1t tells
the nomad to go to the house and be
a humb le-minded sinner of a deep re-
ligious turn and spea& of holy things,
and assures him that such hypocrisy
will be we'll repaid by the really pious
people within. A square with one
corner cut off makes the average tramp
shudder. 1t means that the house in
sight is occupied by people who be-
lieve in the dignity of labor, and that
if he wishes to get assistance from
them he must work for it. There are
only few cases on record where a
tramp has approached a house pointed
out by such a mark. He also makes
a detour around the house whose gate
post or fence is decorated by a square
having dot in the centre. This means
that the premises are infested with
dogs. There are numerous other signs
used, says the Washington Star, and
there are words and phrases, too.

A Remarkable Feat.

Joseph Alexander of Newburg, N. Y,
was 81 years of age last January, but is
in full possession of all his faculties.
Last month in heart shaped design
on a sheet of paper 215x2 inches, he
drew circle the size of a ten cent
piece. With pen he wrote the Lords
Prayer within the circle, and the whole
of the 1O3d Psalm in the heart
shaped space. When in Washington
recently he wrote on a piece of paper
the size of a postal card matter con-
tanning 12,400 letters, besides the
Lords prayer in each of the four cor
ners. This remarkable piece of work
for such an old man has been placed
sn the Smithsonian Institution.

a pretty bird to look at, and very lively
in his motions, but is overrated as

ambassadors, ministers, senators, and
other high officials constitute one of
the characteristic features of life in
Washington. Hundreds of people buy
chairs, rugs, pictures, and similar ar
ticles for their association, and prices
at such sales usually rule above the

of. Some years ago carpet presented

TAKEN AWAY IN BAGS.
New Plan for Garbage Removal Which
Proves Very Successful.

New Plan for Garbage Removal Which
Proves Very Successful.
Col. Waring yesterday invited the
public to inspect his new garbage bag
ging system which he has instituted
in Thirty eighth street, between
Fourth and Sixth avenues, says the
New York Tribune The bags were dis
tributed along Thirty-eighth street
several days ago. They are made of
heavy canvas and sheet iron, with
out bottoms. Cans are placed inside
Of them. The ashes and house garbage
are dumped into the cans, and when
the ashman comes along he draws the
can from the bag, which catches the
garbage. The bag is quickly closed
and tied, while the can is inserted into
fresh bag and left at the house. BY
skillful manipulation of the cans and
bags little or no dust escapes. The bags
are loaded upon the city ash carts and
hauled to the dumps without Offense
or annoyance to anyone. There will
probably be improvements made in the
system as it grows older. But the sys-
tenn seems an assured success even in
its experimental stage. President Will
son of the board Of health said yester-
day that he had personally inspected
the new system and thought we'll of it.

for matrimony or an indie
pendent livelihood were fewer, as we'll
as narrower, than they are now. The
girls cut wider swath in the life OF
the nation in these days, but the ques-
ton of what to do with them remains
just as unsettled and just as serious.
They are side by side in competition
with man in the race for employment
and profitable wages, and with labor
saving machinery also cutting down
his opportunities for work the wage
Garner who assumes the responsible
ties of family finds his income men
aced from two sources, neither of which
be can successfully oppose. We have
not yet begun to realize in this country
how great revolution in wages these
two factors must ultimately bring
about, nor the impossibility of mans
ever regaining a single inch of the
ground he is steadily losing to both of
them. I can recall the time, for in
stance, not ten years ago, when I could
enumerate on the fingers of one hand
the number of young women engaged
in regular work for the New York city
dailies. Today their number is Devil
dering. No newspaper is without it's
special woman writer's. I give this il
Gustration because l am familiar with
the facts from personal knowledge, yet
l presume it is as true of other lines of
work as it is of newspaper making.
Miss or Mrs. is no longer a surprising
prefix to the name of doctors sign in
any of our large cities.
1t is in other grades of work, how
ever, in which women, and especially
young girls, are fast crowding. Indeed,
the time seems to be rapidly approach
ing when in the household of the masses
the question Of what line of employment
to choose for girls is to be quite as per-
tinent and serious as the selection of
one for the boys. If accurate figures
could be obtained of the increase dur
ing the last ten years in the number
of girls who leave their homes daily to
engage in work the aggr egate would,
I believe, startle even those who pro-
fess to have some knowledge on the
subject. Desire in many instances, ne
nessity in many more, are responsible
for their presence in the ranks of Ia
Dor, but whether it be desire or neces-
sity the fact remains that young wom-
en- are an increasing feature of the
workaday life of the country, and It
seems to me to be a condition calcu-
lated to have a marked influence on our
national future. Whether young girl
has touched elbows with the world,
who has encountered the material rath-
er than the romantic side of life-who,
in fact, comes to know at 20 what her
grandmother learned at 40-whether
she can ever feel entirely at ease in the
home circle, with the companionship
of her own, is the most serious phase
of the many sided problem involved
in all this talk of the Woman of To-
day.
Now the point to seriously consider
is that somebody must care for the
home, somebody must give it an at
Effectiveness and an atmosphere which,
midst pleasures and palaces though
we may roam, be it ever so humble,
there's no place like home.
Somebody, I repeat, must do this.

She took him up so gently, -
And with sunN a charming air,
His china soul was melted quite,
And loved her to despair.
All day he sat and thought of her,
Until the twilight came,
And in his china dreams at night
He breathed her little name.
One day, whilst being dusteds
In his joy he trembled so,
To feel her little fingers, that,
Alas! she let him go.
In vain she tried to grab him back,
Fate willed it they should part;
He fell against the fender edge
And broke his little heart.
She gathered up his fragments
And she told a little lie,
