PROFESSIONAL HOUSE HUNTER.
The Way q Buffalo Woman Makes a
Good Living.

-
Good Living.
From the Buffalo Express.
why don't you get a house hunter to
help your" The landlady said this. "A
whatr' exclaimed Mr.. and Mrs. Jamison
both at once. House hunter" ''Why,
never heard of one," said Mr.. Jamison.
What are they?" asked Mrs. Jamison.
WHY, house hunter is one who hunts
houses explained the landlady. You go
to one aid tell her what you want, and she
does the rest. There is house hunter who
lives up in Prospect aver.e. # you will go
and tell ner what you want she or her son
will go with you and get you just the very
kind of house you want. All you have to
do is to tell her the location in which you
desire the house, about the kind of house
you want and how much you want to pay.
They seem to have the whole city right at
command, and no sooner do you tell what
you want than there 1t is, all fitted out
ready to move into. I always get her to
You will pay her 81, and then she gets
commission from the other end well.
She has sort of understanding with all of
the real estate dealers in the city. Some
times she gets 81 and sometimes as high as
$40 from the dealer, according to the drive
and kind of a house. She told me all about
it one day. When her husband died she did
not know what to do. She tried to hunt UP
little cottage that would fit her means
just as you did. Then she saw what hard
work it was.
'She would go to a dealer, just as you
did, and get long list of houses, and then
start out and try to get one that would fit
She said that when she was riding along
she would see hundreds of houses such as
she wanted, but none of them seemed to be
on the list Then she thought what a nice
thing 1t would be If one could have some
one to hunt house for one, and out of 1t
grew the business which she has been en-
gagged In ever since. She finally found
house such as suited her, and then she
went to real estate agent, one of the big
gest In the city, and asked him what he
would give her If she would find tenants
for his houses: He told her. and she went
to another Finally she got rates from all
the dealers and also got their list of houses
Then she began to study the houses, the
streets and the city. After while she got
them all SO that she knew them. She
Knows about every rentable house In the
city, and how much it will rent for. Then
she began to study human nature, and by
httirg people to houses and houses to peo-
pie she finally got so she could find just the
house person wanted in half day."
The house hunter, who is believed to be
original in Buffalo, not only finds houses,
but locates rooms and board for people who
desire them. She lives in a neat little cot
tage IN Prospect avenue, and from the rail
OF the porch ponds neat sign which tells
the pasesr-by of the peculiar occupation of
the resident. The fee of 81 is asked only
when the person desiring a house is in a
hurry. Where the house hunter takes her
time house will be secured after time
which will please. The dollar is for hav-
Ing the house hunter go with one at once
and finding just the house wanted. That
plan is usually chosen.

Life-Saving Sleeves.

From the Boston Globe.
A new use has been found for balloon
sleeves, through the ingenuity Of an enter
prising inventor, which promises great re-
suits
The hustle inside the sleeves has UP
hardly filling long-felt want. But now
a silk life preserver is to take its place,
which can be inflated at will, and enables
the wearer to float in perfect ease on the
water.
Sailing parties made up largely of ladies
will leave the man at the helm very much
at ease, with each female member of the
company TRANSFORMED into an animated
life preserver, for II one moves carelessly
on deck and gets blown overheard. there is
no danger of a tragedy. The balloons will
also add no little to the sail area in fair
winds.
The life-saving sleeve will doubtless
prove big thing, and all that it is pulled
up to be.

small boats, or "single-handers." as they
are called.
Simplicity and hardness have been con-
sidered in their construction, and this has
led in many cases to the adoption of what
is known as the yawl style-a rig which
for safety and convenience has never been

very small mainsail. Some of them are
not over sixteen feet long, yet the solitary

room for cook stove, dinner table and
all necessary 'hxings."
few years ago the sailing public was
surprised by the appearance upon the
waters Of a spider-like continuance, which
its friends said was "catamaran." This
new claimant for favor was like the raft
of the South Sea islanders-only in NAME
however. In fact, 1t was not a catamaran
at all, but new device for racing over
the water by means of sails. Wonderful
feats were predicted for the future OF the
novelty, but after a long trial 1t was dis
carded as a useless, dangerous and decfd-
eddy unsatisfactory specimen Of sailing
craft. Another style, now out Of date and
rarely seen. is the pirogue-a double-ended
narrow-hulled contrivance, rugged with two
pole masts, each carrying gam sail; what

A new aspirant has recently come into
the yachting field. of which great things
are expected by advocates of shoal-boat

but an improved model of the duck-hunt-

From the Rams Horn.
1t is very often the case with an excess
sively demonstrative individual that he
loves the shout and song more than the
contribution box. 1 think 1t especially true
in the case Of an old colored brother of my
acquaintance who holds a membership
with the African Methodist Church In a
certain city.
Just before the close Of service the min
lister announced that a collection would be
taken, and added: "Will some brudder
please start an appropriate song?" The
request found a ready response in Brother

In order to maintain this overland noun

the United States takes first rank, her
yachts and yachters outnumbering those
OF any other country. 1t is safe to esti-
mate that there is at least one yacht to
every ten thousand people in the land, and
that means there are at least six thousand
yacht owners in the country.
The public hears much of vessels of the
Volunteer and Grayling types, champions
of the big boat" classes, but the real
yachters are the owners of small boats.
Figures that are somewhat incomplete
show that there are over 200 organized
yacht clubs in the United States, which

In distance racing, whether on the road
or track, the bicycle rider has greatly the
advantage of the horse, and can beat that
animal at any distance, the farther the dis
lance the greater the advantage in favor
of the bicyclist. Imagine horse attempt
ing to go 500 miles in twenty-four hours!

A new word has come out of England.
1t is ''storgize," which appears in Lon

Among the Pueblo Indians of today, who
are the descendants Of these people, in
heritance in real estate is in the female
line. When a man marries he becomes a
member Of his wifes family and house
hold. If the wife's home is not big enough
to accommodate the extra membership
additional rooms are built adjoining and
connected with those previously occupied.
The women build the houses, though the
men supply the material, and do the heavy
work. AS a result of the system described
a family in which there are many daugh-
tiers occupies dwelling that is continually
growing. On the other hand a family
that has ever SO many sons and no daugh-
tiers will soon have no home at all in the
village. In the modern Pueblos it is not
of erection, while a. dozen or more within
a few steps are abandoned and going to
decay: The village is always growing.
though the population may be stationary
or even decreasing.

THE CITY,.

Tho liiacs IN my garden blow.
Wide meadows ring my garden round.
In that green wood wild violets grow
And pale frsil cuckoo flowers are found.
For all you SEQ and all you hear
The city might be miles away
And yet you feel the city near
Through all the quiet Of the day.
Sweet smells the earth, new washed with rain.
Wet leaves CLEAN in the moonlight pale,
And In tho wood behind the lane
hear the hidden nightingale.
Though field and wood about pe lie,
Soft hushed in dewy deep delight,
Yet I can hear the city sigh
Through all the silence Of the night
For mo tho skylark nests and sings;
For me the vine her garland weavesJ
Tho swailow folds her glossy wings
ITO build beneath my cottage eavcs.
But I can feel the giant near.
Can hear all day his sad slaves weep.
And when at last the night Is here
hear him moving In his sleep.
Oh, for q little space Of ground.
Though never a flower should make 10 gay.
where miles OF meadow Tapped mo round
And leagues and leagues Of silence layi
Oh, for q wind dashed, ~treeless down.
A black night and q lonely way.
A silence deep enough TO drown
The voice that mockb me night and dayt
