70 Clean Fruit.

AS day by day it Is proved to us
that bacteria make the larger pro-
portion of the air we breathe, the
water we drink and the world in
general, one is disposed to instant
revolt; no self respecting human
being is willing to own himself at the
mercy of these invisible foes. Mod
ern science has it's drawbacks. and ~
responsible for the wholesale fear in
which many people spend their days.
Caution, however, is another matter,
and belongs to all who own common
sense, and it is specially required in
dealing with modern dirt, which is
in many cases synonymous with
bacteria at their worst. The human
animal is, unluckily, an extremely
dirty one, and the fruit which has
passed through the hands OF the
great unwashed may better never be
eaten without cleansing. Street dust
itself holds foul forms Of dirt, and
when to this is added the handling
OF scores of people, it is plain that
these surfaces unwashed are not fit
for any rational human stomach.
Even wberries must not be ex-
empt, but they must never soak
only let water run on them, wire
basket being the best method OF Sc
curing it's Immediate passing off.
Grapes require the same treatment;
but In either case only enough should
be done at once for q meal.

Cats Are Hard to Manage.

An English exhibitor of trained
animals, Leoni Clarke, is reported as
saying that, though he has educated
all sorts OF animals from lions down.
ward, he has found that the most
difficult Of them all is the cat. He
has to treat these creatures with ex.
traordinary care. A dog is sensible,
q monkey accommodating. and rat
either forgives or forgets, but n cat I!
She is a hopeless bundle Of sensible
ties. Strike her once, IL only by ac-
cident, and she will never perform
again. Kindness is not only polite,
it is absolutely necessary, in the
training of cats.
Although thirty cats are sufficient
for his entertainment, he has sixty
or more with him, for cats are very
skittish creatures, and when they
take the within into their heads it is
useless to take them on the stage.
When Mr.. Clarke enters the stable
the mewing is proIigious, and he is
instantly buried in moving mantle
Of cats. 1t took him four years to
train some OF his animals before he
could put them upon the stage. A
parachute cat, which climbs up
rope to the roof of the theater, and
flies down by parachute, is the sec
ond which has done the trick. The
first became too fat, and fell into bad
ways. 1t is now Jim Corbett, and
boxes Mitchell nightly. A curious
feature of the show is the way in
which the cats walk over rope of
rats and mice and canaries, step.
ping gingerly between the little fiut-
tering bodies. This mighty forbear-
ance is brought about by training up
the cats from kittens in the same
cage as the rats and birds. There
are only six of his cats that Mr..
Clarke dares trust among the rats.
The rats and mice come from Java.

Crows in q Battle.

A daily spectacle at Ridgewood,
N. j., is the passing of hundreds OF
crows over town. They come from
the south in the early morning on
the way to their feeding grounds and
return Just at sunset to their regular
roosting place. The other evening
the crows were flying lazily along
until suddenly it appeared that some
enemy must have come among them.
for what looked like a fierce battle
began.
Instantly scores of birds that were
we'll away from the center OF dis
turbance turned about and were soon
lost in the whirl Of the supposed
combatants. Some of the crows
would drop nearly to the earth. as il
disabled, and then soar and apparent
ly rest high in the air preparatory to
a renewal of the excitement.
After time it appeared as il many
concluded discretion to be more
praiseworthy than valor, or that the
game was not worth the candle, aid
they left the scene in groups OF ten
or more and continued on their
homeward way.
The battle, il such it was, was a
terrific one. Nearly every crow that
passed the tussling ones returned for
few moments to watch the fray,
but in hundreds of instances did not
engage in it, but made detour and
scared away.

that point they would pass Jerry and
the baby The gangway was narrow.
Two mules could hardly pass
abreast. The baby was In the middle
of the track. The cruel hoofs Of the
rapidly advancing animals would
crush out her life in their wild rush.
Jerry. seemed to realize it all.
He backed away from the baby
who, innocent of danger, held out
her hands and called him. His head
was turned to one side, his ears laid
straight back; the rushing animals
came nearer; with backward heave
of his whole body Jerry's hoofs few
out and struck full on the breast Of
the first mule. The force OF the blow
was terrific. The animal was hurled
back against the other four, who
stopped bewildered. At that instant
the three men rushed out OF the gang
way and the baby was snatched up
into her fathers arms.
The stable boss understood the
situation at a glance, and springing
past Jerry with whip and voice
drove the five mules back, while the
baby's father kissed her again and
again, and Jerry calmly munched
some pieces ofapple which had fallen
from the baby's hands. Occasion
ally he looked up. and one could then
see those two large, melancholy eyes
shining there in the darkness, lit
with new contentment. as II even
this hopeless prisoner could under
stand the happiness that comes from
a deed nobly done.

Causes Of Cuban Discomfort.

II was in Havana just few days
prior to the recent Cuban disturb
ances," said o. M. Zane, a promi-
nent citizen of Philadelphia. at the
Shoreham. IL don't blame the peo-
pie for wishing to rebel against the
Spanish government, but it's doubt
full il they'd be a whit better of un-
der home rule. The Spanish officials
sent there on small salaries 60 home
in few years enormously rich.
There is more stealing and rascality
on the island of Cuba than any spot
of the globe. The merchants have to
pay such high duties that fully one
half Of the goods imported are snug
gled in, yet with all the peculation
and holding out the island paid into
the revenues Of Spain last year the
sum Of 1876, 900, 600.
THE business is altogether in the
hands OF the Spaniards, and the
native Cubans are their servants.
The latter, as q rule, are on a very
low plane OF civilization, aud / think
it is good thing that this govern
ment never carried out the scheme
OF Cuban annexation that was so
popular in some parts OF the country
before the war;"

Second Story Sidewalks.

A plan has been proposed by
George u. Boulton, of the First Ma
tional bank, at Chicago, for increas-
ing the sidewalk capacity Of that
city. Mr.. Boulton had in mind par
ticularly the sidewalks on Wabash
avenue, but after carrying the plan
to it's logical conclusion he became
convinced that it can be put into eff
feet on other down town streets. The
plan provides for continuous du-
plicate walk above the present side
walk, on each side of Wabash ave-
nue., from Lake street to Congress,
the walk to be constructed of glass
and iron, ornamental in its charac-
ter, and to be level with the second
story Of the buildings adjacent there
to. The advantages claimed for it
are many. A few Of them are: Per-
sons using it would be absolutely
free from the many dangers that
now threaten them, and from the
dust and dirt encountered on the
lower level; in bad weather the upper
sidewalk would afford shelter from
the rain or snow, making the covered
way underneath under such condi-
tions most desirable; the owners of
buildings would have two main floors
where they now have one, making
them more valuable; the retail bust
ness of the city would be carried on
on the upper level; patrons Of ele-
waited railways would be enabled to
transact their business without de-
