- Blanket Men,"

A lady, lately of Topeka, writes
from her new home in Ell Red, Califor-
MIA, to o friend here:
"There is class of men here called
Blanket Men,. They go around the
country in crowds and herds, each one
carrying his roll of blankets, sleeping
anywhere. They beg from house to
house something to eat They work a
few days at time and then go and sit
in front OF saloon until their money
is gone. When Sunday comes they go
to a stream and wash their clothes. 1t
is Just dreadful to think men can get
so low. l never thought there was any
good in the Coxey movement until
now; he was the means of getting a
large rumber OF these men out of the
State.
"They say that California is the
only State where they can live in that
way. We ask them sometimes how
they can forget their homes in the
East and live like animals. They say,
'Oh, it's the climate' There are hun
dreds and hundreds of these men wan
dering from one part of the State to
another. They beg for bread and work
for whisky. Topeka (Kan. Journal.

Picked In Each Othcr,s Stray.

\ singular marine adventure hap
pened to some of the men on two fish
ing schOoners which were fishing in
the South Channel recently. Edward
kenetick and Charles Sargent left the
schooner Emma w. Brown in their
dory to fish, and Mt about the same
time Robert OBrlen and John /.
Stewart left the Fortuna for the same
purpose. While the men were ont it
set in thick and neither of the dories
came back to the vessel to which it
belonged. Each of the vessels, how
ever, picked up stray dory with two
meuiuit, and by the straugest o 4 chances
each stray WAS the dory from the
other vessel. The two vessels sailed tor
market Il short time after this, the
Brown touching at Provincetown,
where she landed her two rescued
men. They came to this city, arriv-
ing here in time to meet their vessel,
the Fortuna, at 7 Wharf. The Brown
came up the river, hying her flag at
haif-mast for the supposed loss of her
two men, but 1t was quickly hauled
| down when she came alongside the
wharf and found that they were safe
on board the Fortuna. When it was
considered what Il slim chance man
who goes astray has of being picked
up, and how many lives are lost in
tins very way on the banks every
year, the escape of these four men
seems more like fiction than fact. --

"Well," said he, az am not Joker,

Factory Making Heather Gods.

There has been discovered in Bir-
mingham, in the very centre of Chris
tian England, factory where idols
are made for heather Nations. Many
attempts to obtain admission to the
factory have been made, but a strict
watch is kept upon outsiders anxious
to pry into the secret chambers where
the heather gods are made, and re-
porters, especially, are prevented from
entering the works.
Idols of all kinds are turned out,
representing the gods of all heather
nations, from Toxic to Timbuctoo.
The export trade to heather countries
is a fairly large one, although more
gods nre sent ont to foreign dealers in
curios in the bazaars of Cairo, Damas-
Gus, Colombo, etc, for sale to unsus-
pectiug travellers anxious to take
home some moments of their stay
abroad.
The price OF gods vary greatly.
You may get a Birmingham made one
in a London curiosity shop for half
crown, or you may run up the pretty
bill of 800 for an especially ugly one,
"stolcn, according to the dealer, "by
a sailor during the Chinese war" In
the Cairo bazaar, however, the price
of a tirst-class god of this kind may
run up from 500 to anything. A
traveller says that there is little diff
Guilty in detecting a god of native
make from one of Birmingham manu-
facture. The first generally displays
some slight irregularity or change of
design due to the native working by
hand, while the Birmingham god was
correct in form. The trade in idols
is kept such close secret that it is
difficult to estimate the output, bat
there is no doubt the trade is fairly
large one, and that some enterprising
Birmingham men do very we'll in the
business. Boston Transcript.

was walking along the canal the
other day when my attention was at
tracted by novel funeral procession.
Four little boys, the Oldest about ten
years of age, and the youngest q
fodder of two or three summers, were
crying as though their hearts were
broken. The oldest was drawing q
small hand wagon, which contained q
bundle. Following this were the other
three boys in line. Each had upon his
arm strip of black calico, while the
wagon was decorated with the same
material. I stopped them and asked
what the matter was. "It's funeral,
sir, said the Oldest boy; "our little
dog died yesterday" Then lifting the
little bundle from the wagon he threw
it into the canal, and the four broth
ers put their arms around each other,
gave way to grief as real as any they
will ever know, for the dog was their
playmate and they loved him as they
did each other. And as the boys slow
ly wended their ways back home, I
could see that there would be but lit
tie play for them that day. Washing
