EMPLOYED in Odd Ways.

Here are few instances of the
many extraordinary ways in which
people find employment nowadays:
An aged commissionaire, to whom
the faces of all "men about town"
were familiar, recently obtained EN-
ployment on the opening of a new
West End club, his duties being to
simply stand at the door and touch
his hat to all the notabilities who
passed, in order to attract attention
to the new venture.
Giving evidence as a witness in a
running down case, a shabbily dressed
individual recently declared that for
years he had picked up a living by
roaming about the streets and patch
ing up broken harness with few
pieces of stout leather, needle and
waxed thread that he carried in his
pocket, and affirmed that on Derby
days, bank holidays and such like spe-
cial occasions he had sometimes made
rs much as fifteen shillings.
There is an old and artful fisherman
who regularly, in the season, infests
the salmon rivers of the North and
sells the results of his own illicit an
Cling to London sportsmen desirous OF
returning to their friends with han d.
some evidences of their skill with rod
and line, and in this way he used to
declare he made sufficient every
season to keep him during the winter.

New Potatoes,

This is the way new potatoes are
manufactured in Paris: Old pota-
toes, the cheapest and smallest that
can be obtained, are purchased by the
ra6stoleurs dc pommes de terre, as
they are called, who carry their prop
erty to the banks of the Seine, a good
supply of water being necessary. The
potatoes are put into tubs half filled
with water then they are vigorously
stirred about by the feet and legs of
the manufacturers, who roll up their
trousers and stamp on the raw pota-
toes until they have not only com
pletely rubbed off their dark skins,
but have also given them that smooth
and satinike appearance which is so
much appreciated by gourmauds
They are then dried, neatly wrapped
in paper and arranged in small baskets,
which are sold at the Marchands do
Comestibles for five francs apiece.
The oldest part of the whole business
is that the rafstoleurs make no secret
of their trade, and may daily be seen
at work near the Pont Louis Philippe,
within sight OF the Hotel-de-Yille. -

Death in Awful Form.

A crowd of nearly thousand people
watched man drown in Los Angeles
to-day and was powerless to help him.
His name was Thomas Reynolds, and
ne was laborer for sewer building
on Los Angeles street, near Boyd.
The scene was the most agonizing that
can be imagined.
At about 3 o'clock Reynolds was
working in q new sewer that is build
ing directly underneath an old brick
one. The ground is soft there and
Reynolds was caught by small cave.
in. His legs were pinioned by the
falling earth, but no one thought his
situation serious. A rope was made
fast to him and an attempt was made
to pull him out, but his shovel had
fallen across his feet, and it was soon
seen that he would have to be dug
out.
The work was at once begun. Sud-
denly, to the horror of the great crowd
that had assembled, the old brick
sewer right over the wretched mans
head burst and large stream of water
flowed into the excavation, gradually
driving the rescuers out. A fire engine
was sent for, and attempted to pump
the inflow of water out, but it proved
of no avail.
The man was doomed and nothing
could be done for him. He was up
right in the hole and the water soon
reached his waist. For the first time
he realized that he would die. Inch
by inch the fluid rose, and the poor
fellow lost his nerve and commenced
to utter the most heartrendering
shrieks and appeals for help. The
streets became blocked with people,
and as the news spread of what was
going on in that hole the crowd be-
came frantic with desire to save the
man. But absolutely nothing could
be done to succor him. The water
reached the throat, then the chin,
then ripple struck his lips. The
watchers at the brink of the hole
turned their faces away and
groaned as a last despairing shrek
came from the victim. His arms beat
the water back frantically and then
we're still. Francisco Examiner.

Unique Suit for Damages.

A ruined playground is the basis of
a damage suit for $40, 900 in the dis
trict court, Duluth, MINI. The plain
tifs are Amund and Amathilda Olson
and the defendant is the contracting
firm of Fredin & Wilson, who recently
built block near the Olson home in
the East End. The Olsons allege that
the land adjoining their home was an
excellent playground for their chill
dren, that it was a good place to
stretch clothes line and that on it
was fine we'll of water. All this had
been wrecked, so they claim, bI the
defendant firm. 1t is also alleged that
the dirt left around by the contract
ors has ruined the Olson home and
rendered it unfit to live in. The
health of the children has been dam
aged, the complainant states, by rea-
son of their now having no place to
plsy.-Chicago Times-Herald.

Professor Stoddard writes that while
''argon" is undoubtedly a new sub.
stance, the evidence does not warrant
the positive assertion that it is an ele.
ment rather than a mixture of ele,
ments. Having discovered its exist
ence, the scientists are now busy at.
tempting to imagine a use for it.
1t appears that certain fungi may be
disseminated by snails and toads. An
Italian naturalist, Voglino, has found
in the digestive canal of these animals
an abundance of the spores of species
of Russula, Tricholoma, Lactarius and
other kinds of toadstools. But the
power of termination of these spores
had not been destroyed by passing
through the body of the animals in
question.
The completion a few years ago of
the object glass of the Lick refractor,
with diameter of thirty-six inches,
was rightly considered an important
event in astronomy. But the Yerkes

When it is mounted at the Lake
Geneva (Wis. observatory, the atten-
tion of astronomers throughout the
world will be turned in that direction

coveries.

of the main cavern is that of au un.

with water about foot and a half in

DRIVING HOME THE COWS.

He drops the bars down, one by one, md
let's the COWS pass through.
Then follows them along the lane 40 oncy he
used to do
And memory whispers as he climbs the
grassy meadow slope
or happy days when, long ago, boy so full
Of hope
Used often here to lie and dream upon the
hills soft crest.
When tired OF play, his head upon its daisy
fecked breast,
Till leaping dog awakened him with sharp
and loud bow-wows,
To warn him that the time had come for
driving home the COWS.
And now he splashes in the brook that flows
from yonder spring,
II rlpples, bubbles, murmurs, like a bright
and living thing;
Upon its sparkling current, here he used to
sail his boats,
And once again he throws chip to watch il
as 1t floats;
whirling, dancing, jumping, far away a-dowr
1t goes,
Up and down and here aud there, with all
the changing flows,
TIL out of sight 1t whirls at last, down where
the channel bows,
As once he did when years ago while driving
home the cows.
And all day long in the meadow, while rak-
ing the fresh-cut hay,
The brightest fancies come to him with the
brightness Of the day.
And every cricket chirping, and the lark that
scars and sings,
The butterfly that dazzles with its brightly
painted wings,
All seem to be companions, as he works and
works away,
Till sun sinks low and lower, with the pass
ing of the day.
And voice calls through the shadows and
the slowly gathering gloam;
"John, my dear, let down the bars, the cows
are coming home"

Professor Runnebaum, of Berlin,
sent by the German Government to
examine the timber resources OF our
Pacific coast, expresses amazement at
the waste he witnessed there. He
says the end of American forests is
near at hand unless they are protected
by law against reckless cutting and
conhagrations, While the leading
countries OF Europe are trying to
make trees grow the Americans are
sweeping away not only the mature
trees, but the saplings, which are the
rightful heritage of future genera
tions. ''If nothing is done by your
Government" in his opinion, "you
may live TO see lumber shipped from
Germany to Puget Sound" When
the professor was in Oregon and
Washington the whole coast was dark.
ened with the smoke from fires de.
vouring enormous tracts of timber
unsurpassed in the world. His remark
thai the life of the forests is the life
OF the people is, in tie opinion of the
New York Tribune, no flourish OF
rhetoric.

ResembIed a Criminal.

The Bavarian minister at Berne is
likely to feel good deal of natural
resentment against the Swiss police
force for some little time to come. He
went to Winterthur, the Swiss Bisley,
where the National rifle festival was be-
ing held, and was enjoying himself in a
quietly Teutonic fashion when sud
denly he was seized by detectives aud
hauled off to the nearest lookup. His
demand for an explanation was met
by the confident assertion that he was
no other than a notorious criminal,
who had been wanted" for many
months. The detectives were so sure
they had the right man that it was not
until high Government official had
identified the unfortunate diplomat
that they consented to his release.
They had a portrait of the malefactor
which closely resembled the features
of the minister.

II. M. Stanley's maiden speech in
The British House OF Commons is de-
scribed as delivered with easy conf
Gence and as evidently unprepared /;
his smile was pleasant, the tinge of
Americanism in his accent threw his
individuality into a sort of relief, while
his quietly assured self-confdence in
terested the members. On the other
hand, his own party journals, while
admitting that his manner was excel
lent, say the matter of his speech was
not judiciously chosen for the reason
that he managed to offend the imper-
ialists, who desire to reconquer the
Soudan, and those who wish to evacu-
ate Egypt because it is source of
weakness to the empire.

"The police know nothing of your

A Holy Fair at AlIahabad.

At Allahabad, in the northwest PROV
inces of India, religious fair is held
periodically on the dry part of the bed
of the Ganges, to which natives OF all
castles and from all parts of India
travel in order, by bathing in the
sacred river, to obtlin release from
sins or to cure disease. Thousands
upon thousands of Hindoos make this
long aud weary pilgrimage. and during
the height OF this gathering the city
teens with natives of all conditions.
Some make vow to measure the
whole journey of their pilgrimage,
hundreds of miles, perhaps, by the
length of their bodies. This they
effect by lying fiat upon the ground,
making a mark where their head
comes, rising and toeing this mark.
and then lying down again, and so on
until they arrive at their destination.
Others carry weights, others gall
their flesh with chains. Indeed, the
means adopted for Standardization
are countless. The bathing is con-
Quoted on remarkable lines. The
sacred river itself is by no means in
viting. Within a few yards of the de-
votees who are drinking of the holy
stream or bathing in it vultures may
be seen preying on human corpses
that float down. Yet this very water
is taken away by men in various ves-
sells suspended from long poles de-
corated with tiny flags, aud sold far
away up country az many anna', and
even rupees, for a single drop, so deep
and strong is the Hin lu's faith in the
water OF the sacred river. Pail Mall
