81 have been spending my summer holt
day down at Buzzsrd's Bay" said An
drew Mack to Times reporter.
'Did you see the PRESIDENT"
Certainly, l did. He is the most con-
spicuous figure down there, of course.
But not SO much on account of his being
the President of the United States, but be-
cause of the earnestness and the absolute
disregard for everything that is going
on around him with which he fishes. He
comes down the first thing in the morn
ing, gets in his boat with man TO row
him, picks out his fishing grounds, throws
out his line, and there he sits, with his
head bowed down and This chin resting
on his necktie, and never moves.
'You coild shoot q cannon off within
ten feet of him, and l don't believe he
would turn his head. He is the most
intent man 1 ever saw, and from a dis
tance might be a wooden or stone statue
as far as any movement is visible"

Conductors on the summer cars as rule

Conductors on the summer cars as rule
pass down the right hand footboard of
the car ill collecting fares. This, of course,
always places them opposite the other
track. A Times reporter yesterday met
three consecutive fare-collectors, how
ever, who travelled the footboard on the
inside OF the track. The first said he did
1t because the sun was on the other side
The second said he.always went down that
side because he was left handed Con-
ductor No said be simply did it because
''he got used to it," and it would seem as
odd To him TO 60 down The other side as it
would be to his brother cendurtors to use

A cat which has been a great favorite
with the people of LIE Droit Park lost caste
last night by disturbing the neighborhood
and causing people TO think that robbers
were in an unoccuped house.
The cat, which was of the Thomas Kind,
wanted some other cats to join him in taking
possession OF the house, and about mid
night all the cats in the vicinity were on
hand, and enjoyed themselves by running
up and down the stairs.
The noises were heard on the outside
by persons passing by, and an alarm was
given that burglars had possession. A
survey of the premises stirred up the cats
which had located themselves in different
portions of the building, some being as high
up as the third story.
Sticks were procured, and a war was
begun on the CANNES. By actual count
there were twenty-three in different Dor
tions of the house. The point from which
the cats entered the hose was closed, and
the good citizens retired, satisfied that
no further trouble would be had that night.

1.-THE Defender is the faster boat of the
two by at least six minutes said Dr. Tin
dal, secreatry ofthe board ofCommissioners,
who stopped over to zee the races.
What gave her the victory in the first
race, though" he continued twas the
excellent management of Captain Haff.
1 never saw anything more magnificent
in the way of handling a caller than the
skill exhibited at several critical points
that first day"
Then the doctor launched into a techni-
cal description that was quite bewilder-
ing to one not versed in the nautical lore,
but it was made quite plain that in his
estimation the Commander of abe Defender
is seaman of superior merit, and this
opinion is echoed by thousands

Dean Hole on Roses,

Dean Hole is one of the most success
full rosegrowers in England. He was
recently interviewed as to their care
and said:
"a spot should be found that is shell
tered without being shaded. Every
overhanging tree is as upas tree to a
rose Get spot where the sun shines
warmly Oh the sheep and the wind is
tempered to the shorn lamb Avoid
drips and roots. Manure in winter and
mulch in spring. In the summer months
let them be well watered below and
well sprinkled two or three times a
week. Let all insects be removed. When
the ground is clayey, drain it well, for
when water stagnates about the roots
of plant they cannot receive air or
warmth. Cut your drains with good
fall, straight four feet deep. Burnt clay,
l find, produces permanent friability in
soils. ~
The doctor considers his method of
burning clay excellent. He keeps all
prunings, bones and vegetable matter
together aud makes them into a fire,
putting an old tree stump on top. This
he covers with clay, renewing it as the
fire breaks through; suppresses the
flames. and after burning a fortnight
blends the ashes with the soil.
As to the manures, he thinks SCOT ex-
cellent for tea roses, which grow to such
outdoor perfection i'll England Au-
tumn leaves are good for Bourbons. He
does not care so much for tea leaves as
tho friend of his who drenched the roots
with the contents of the teapot that she
might have tea scented Chinas. The
best manure of all he thinks is the
refuse heap of the farmyard

The Peculiarly of the .R.-

A little feature to be seen in some
writings, perhaps only to be distin-
guished as a separate gesture by the aid
of a magnifying glass, is the tiny stroke
which is separately placed above the
small in order to show that it is an I
and to thus distinguish it from another
letter, or part of a letter, which resem-
bles the r when the latter is made with
out this little top stroke. At the first
glance how insignificant does this de-
tail appsarl But is it really without
meaning as human action? think
not
A man who hahituallysalles the trou-
Bile to make clearer the meaning of one
of his symbols at the cost of a little
separate action is man who takes pains
with his work, and who desires to do
his work well. This action, trivial as it
appears, could scarcely be done by a
slovenly or careless person. 1t is gee
ture of minute care and attention
qualities that in one way or another
have been of vast service TO individuals
and to mankind Thomas Carlyle, for
example, showed his minute carefulness
by an attention to punctuation that
have never seen excelled. and which has
arely been equaled. -Nineteenth Cen
ury.

would never open.
A Decision Called For.
Passed each portal, there was grind
ing of locks and a showing of bolts, and
the scenery on either side Of tbs road
changed from gardens to deserts, and
the June air became cutting December
blast, and the bright wings of tho bad
angel turned to sackcloth, and the eyes
of light became hollow with hopeless
grief, and the fountains, that at the
start had tossed with wine, poured forth
bubbling tears and foaming blood, and
on the right side of the road there was
a serpent, and the man said to the bad
angel, What is that serpent?" and the
answer was, "That is the serpent of
singing remorse - On the left side the
road there was lion. and tho man ask
ed the bad angel. '.What is that lion?"
and the answer was, THAT is tho lion
of all devouring despair. +" A vulture
flew through the sky, and the man asked
the bad angel, "What is that vulture?"
and the answer was, 'That is the yul-
ture waiting for the carcasses of the
slain"
And then the man began to try to
pull off him the folds of something that
had wound him round and round, and
he said to the bad angel, what is it
that twists me in this awful convolu-
tion?" and the answer was, THAT is
the worm that never dies. And then
the man said to the bad angel: "What
does all this mean? l trusted in what
you said at the corner of Broadway and
Houston street; / trusted it all, and
why have you thus deceived me?' Then
the last deception fell off the charmer,
and it said: II was sent forth from the
pit to destroy Your soul. l watched my
chance for many long year. When
you hesitated that night on Broadway,
l gained my triumph Now You are
here. Ha, ha! You are here. Come, let
us fill these two ohalices of fire and
drink together to darkness and woe and
death. Hail, hailW Oh, young mani
will the good angel sent forth by Christ
or the bad angel sent forth by sin get
the victory over your soul? Their wings
are interlocked this moment above you,
contending for your destiny, as above
the Apcnnines eagle and condor fight
mid-sky. This hour may decide your
destiny.

Mr.. Finlayson, town clerk of Stirling,
was noted for the marvellous in CONVEX
sation. He was ON visit to the Earl of
Monteith and Airth, at his castle in
Taha, on the loch of Monteith, and was
about taking leave, when be was asked
by the earl whether he had seen the
sailing cherry tree
NO." said Finlayson. "What sort
of thing is it?''
1t is, - replied the earl, "a tree that
has grown out of goose's mouth from
stone the bird had swallowed, and
which she bears about with her in voy-
ages round the loch. 1t is just at pres
ent in full fruit of the most exquisite
flavor. Now, Finlayson, he added,
"can you. with all your power of mem
CRY and fancy, match the story of the
cherry tree?'
Perhaps l cam" said Finlayson,
clearing his throat, adding: when
Oliver Cromwell was at Airth, one of
the cannon sent ball to Stirling and
lodged it in the mouth of a trumpet
which one of the troops in the castle
was in the act of sounding.
WAS the trumpeter killed." said the
earl.
No, my lord, said Finlayson. HE
