A Dutch Funeral Car.

A funeral car in Holland is the
queerest and most med!aeval-looking
of conveyances. Imagine the horses
entirely hidden under long, sweeping
draperies of black cloth. like the
steeds In the illustrations to Froissart
These draperies reach to the ground,
and all that is seen of the horse is
his solemn eye peering through the
eye-holes. The car itself Is drien by
a coachman draped also in black, with
a perfectly huge shoel hat, rather like
that Of don Basillo" In 1.-THE Barber
of Seville" only much more exagge-
rated; while the coffin, or It's absence,
ia completely hidden from view by
the mass of heavy draperies that de-
scend from the roof of the car nearly
to a level with the wheels. On the
whole. the cur looks like perambu-
lating mass of black cloth, and IL
neither bcaNteous nor imposine.

fROTRAIT9 OF 4. LADY.
Here's q piQuant, pensive maiden
Gracious as summer night,
When the breeze with fragrance laden
Pipes Its chorus of delight.
Shapely MS some Grecian shepherd,
Posing In untutored ease,
Supple as some tawny leopard
GambOling amid the trees.
How describe that liquid laughter,
Gurgling like mountain rill?
Soaring, ringing meath the rafter,
Sangulne, splendid, never still.
How portray that regal bearing?
Stately as some gracious queen,
Or some widowed duchess wearing
Jewels Of lustrous sheen.
And your timorous tread is lighter
Than the shy and quivering deer
And your ivory brow Is brighter
Than the dawning of the year;
And your voice is low and thrilling.
Swecter than mourning dove
Cooling for her mate and filling
All the mir with plants of love.
lnky black those silken tresses.
Coiling like the ravens wing.
Shrinking from the winds caresses,
Clustering in the roguish ring,
And your lustrous eyes are tender.
Stainless as some splendid star
MY paltry homage. do I render,
INN echoes trickling from afar.

SYMPATHY GAMES.

New York Has a Professor of These
Who is Great ON s.ThrOvinE q
Ftp
There is a genius in the ranks of
the New York Migrants who has fire..
quently escaped being sent to the is
land by his ability to "t'row a fit"
and thereby gain the sympathy of all
the spectators. His name is Ludyer
Tardy, and his vocation is that Of a
worker of sympathy gags Tardy
was greatly impressed by Bomb-throw-
er Norcross' attack on Russell Sage
three years ago, and he made up his
insanity racket. About a week after
the Norcross affair he ran into the Of
fee of big brewery uptown with q
small package in his hand, and yelled
out: "Give me 100000 or I'll throw
it," Hold on" cried the cashier, turn
ing pale. "Wait moment. for Gods
sake" Not second!' yelled Tardy,
and he made move to throw the
package, while the bookkeeper, cashier
and clerks dropped behind their desks.
Then with a yell Tardy hurled against
the wall the package, which contained
a piece of Calls liver. The liver
stuck there, and the clerks. seeing
that it wasn't a bomb, jumped up and
ran to the window, yelling for the po-
lice A policeman came rushing in,
and Tardy was soon on his way to the
station house. Two weeks around the
Bellevue Hospital grounds, inhaling
the fresh river breezes and living on
iirst-class food, were his reward for
this little performance.
Tardy has a trick of going crazy in
public places, and some weeks ago he
wandered into a branch post Office up
town, worked his way into crowd
and then began to swing his arms
around and yell at the top of his voice.
In about half minute he owned the
place. Everybody fed at top speed,
and it was not until Tardy had ex-
hausted himself and lay painting on
the ground that eves policeman
could be induced to enter the place
again. Three or four times during the
last year the man has cleaned out ca
BILE cars in the same way. Telling the
story Of his life for anything from
Tardy's, and, although his tales differ
rardy always figures as a broken
hearted man. Raving over Mary's
eyes is really fine piece of work, and
has won much money for the tramp.
In appearance Tardy is comical.
There is a look about him which
makes even the casual observer SMILE
He-is always attired in ragged, dirty
clothing, but he has penchant for
wide-rim straw hats. with gayly color
ed ribbons around them aud when ar
rested on Wednesday night he had on
an old straw hat adorned with bril-
liant orange and black ribbon. Tardy
has struggling whiskers and small,
cunning eyes, and on the left side Of
his face he has a large warL. over
which he always wears court plaster.

Iron Filings for the Soil.

Northern fruit growers know that
the color of fruit is largely dependent
on the amount of available potash
which the soil contains. This, with
sunlight aids in the development of
both color and fine flavor A Califor-
mia orange grower. Mr.. G. w. Pres
colt, has found that iron heightened
the color of his product and made it
more salable. His oranges were orig
inally very pale. but by using five
pounds of iron filings around his trees
the color has been changed to a dark
yellow, with increased quality of fruit.
So much iron filings probably made
the soil more open and porous. If the
iron has served as plant food a small
quantity would have been sufficient.

A Paralytic, Cured.
His Grandfather. . Revolutionary Sol.
dier, and His Father, both Died Of
PARALYSIS. Yet the Third Gensr-

alton IL Cured Tho Method.
(From the Herald, Boston, Mass.)
Like thunderbolt from a clear sky,
. stroke Of paralysis came TO Mr.. Frank
T. Ware. the well knoYd Boston auc-
ton street. He went tx "a one night
about six years ago seemingly in robust
health. When he awoke vAis left side
was stiffened by the deadeA9ng of the
nerves. The interviewer sought out Mr..
Ware to get the facts. He gave the in
teresting parii culars in his own way:
The first ,ock came very suddenly
while l was asleep, but 1t was not last
ing in its effects, and in a few weeks
was able to be about. A few months
after, when exhausted by work and
drenched with rain went home in
second and more severe shock, after
which my left arm and leg were prac-
tically helpless.
my grandfather, who was a soldier
in the Revolutionary War, and lost an
arm in the struggle for American indie
pendence, died finally Of paralysis. My
father also eied Of paralysis. although
and SO had some knowledge Of the IA
tai character Of the disease which is he
reditary in our family. After the Sec
ond shock took warning, for, in all
probability, third would carry me off.
almost everything under the sun was
recommended to me and tried all the
remedies that seemed likely to do any
good, electricity, massage and special
lists. but to no effect.
THE only thing found that helped
me was DR.. Williams Pink Pills. and
verify believe that II 1t hadn't been for
those pills I would have been dead
years ago.
Eyes, still have a slight reminder Of
the last attack six years ago. My left
arm is not as strong as the other and my
left foot drags little, as the paralysis
had the effect of deadening the nerves.
But l can still walk a good distance,
talk as easily as ever, and my general
health is splendid. I am really over sew
enty years old, although 1 am generally
taken to be twenty years younger.
1.-THE Pink Pills keep my blood in good
condition, and I belle, that is why
am so well.
Mr.. Ware has every appearance Of q
perfectly healthy man. and arrives At
his Office promptly at eight o'clock ev-
cry morning. although he has reached
an age when many men retire from
active life. He says that in his
opinion both his father and grandfather
could have been saved II Pink Pills had
been oh:a:nable at that time.
