A PHILOSOPHERS ATTIC.
Quaint Combination Of Greenery and Hem
merry Above the CITY.

|
Quaint Combination of Gresnery and Hen.
merry Above the City.
One Of the queerest places in New
York can be found in what looks, from
the street, to be a funny little gable
rooted house perched jauntily on one
corner Of the roof Of the Windermere,
ON Fifty seventh street. II is a conserva-
tory and observatory in one, a miniature
roof garden, the den of an attic philos-
opher. Henry s. Goodale, whose some-
what celebrated daughters, Elaine and
Dora. evidently got from him their
poetic strain.
The attic is reached by a steep nau-
teal flight OF steps leading mp through
a small square hatchway straight into o
wonderful greenery of bloom, u snug
gerry Of comfort, likewise a hennery,
consisting of II fine brown Leghorn
fowl and a single fluffy, yellow chick,
and q dovecot, where there are softly
whirring wings. 1t is a charming bit of
Arcadia, high above the ceaseless roar
and heartbeat Of a great city, which
under its potent spell seems unreal and
evanescent, like the undulating, elliptic
nj rings Of smoke that float past the
"attic" windows. The attic is all win
dows, except the floor, roof and the sim
pie matched board dado. The little room
is q symphony in green the floor is car
peted with dull green denim the gabled
roof Is covered with burlaps of the same
hue; o green wicker couch is cushioned
In green yachting cloth; q broad green
and white striped awning shades the
sunny sides Of the little house; all the
carelessly strewn cushions, though Of
varying designs and materials, are Of
the same general hue, and green figured
denim draperies ON slender brass rods
hang ready to exclude the whole outside
world il it is desired.
But 1t is the window gardens that
give the greatest charm to the place.
Long, deep boxes of country earth and
loan give s%ustenance to thick, tangled
clumps Of spicy pinks, old fashioned
o bushes and honeysuckle vines,
clambering over wire network trellises,
which metaphorically kill two birds
with n stone by literally preserving
the birds-that is, the hen and her
chick-from disaster and unfolding the
lacy green drapery Of the vines.
OF course the hen Ia not allowed the
liberty Of this garden in tho air, though
she keeps O vigilant and determined eye
out for opportunities to maraud outside
her own domain, which is quite spacious
enough to keep her hale and hearty,
apparently contented with her lot and
graciously disposed in the matter Of
eggs. Dame Attica Hennica-which is
the hens classical name-evidently be-
longs to n fine old Latin a C of fowls,
and her neighbors, the doves, are ON the
most amicable terms. New York Press.

The Obedient Dog.

Here is o dog story by a Putnam
chronicler: Zone Of the most interest
ing and ut the same time truthful dog
stories we have heard for some time is
that told by Victor Peloquin, who keeps
a confectionery store on Bridge street.
Last winter he went to Canada and
brought back with him a little black
and tan dog, the gift of his father. All
went well for about q month, when he
had occasion to reprove him for some
trivial %otfense, telling him in French to
go home He saw no more Of his dog
bud was greatly surprised recently to
receive q letter from his father in Can
ada, informing him that the dog had
returned. He was three months in max
ing the journey. "-Hartford Courant.

Old Shoes For New.

Inmates Of the House Of Correction,
when they are discharged from that in.
stitution, are usually furnished with O
brand new pair Of shoes in which tc
start anew the journey Of life. The
traders stand outside the gates and wait
for these discharged prisoners. The lat.
ter are not slow to part with their new
shoes in exchange for the old ones offer.
cd by the traders, not only because the
old shoes are more comfortable, but be-
cause there is a money consideration
too. The House Of Correction shoes ar
strongly made and command a fair pric
among w~orkingmen. The traders pay a
bounty Of about 25 cents, together with
the old pair Of shoes in exchange for
each new pair, and they make money by
the deal.-Philadelphia Record.

WANTED FRESH AIR.
Tho King OF Anam Broke . Custom and
Created q Panic.

The King OF Anam Broke . Custom and
Created . Panic.
Not long ago there was terrible ex-
element at the royal court of Anam.
The king, Thanah- Tai, who was then ID
years old, was missing. Etiquette re-
quires that tho Anamese king shall
lever leave the royal grounds. He is q
knightly prisoner. But the young po-
tentate was not hard to find. Though no
was a king, he was q boy, and it is nat
ural for a boy, when he has some mon
ey in his pocket, to want to get out and
spend it.
That was exactly what tho king OF
Anam had done. Entirely alone he
had started on a shopping" expedition
through the streets Of Hue. OF course
no one knew him because no had never
shown his face in public. He was SIM
ply a boy, like any other boy, and this
was exactly what no wanted.
But he was treated with great respect
by the shopkeepers, because he seemed
to have plenty of money. Curiously
enough. the thing which seemed to at
tract him most was a head shearing ma
chine, or hair clipper, and when the
frightened mobiles of the court discovered
him ut last it was with this singular
implement in his possession.
He had already begun an attempt to
experiment with it OH the heads Of sew
eral small street boys. who were prov
ing rebellious subjects, when tho cour-
tiers approached him, Frustrating them
selves upon the ground and making
alarmed outcries.
The king no longer goes out shopping,
but he retains his hair clipper as a SOU
venir Of q happy day Of freedom with
the street boys.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

Savannahians at the Atlanta Expo
sitfOn


Mr. A. N. Manucy clerk of council, has
returned from Atlanta where he went to
attend the exercises incident to the pre-

AN ORDER HE DIDN'T GET.
A Safe Drummer's Trip TO savannah
without Result.

There is one representative of big
safe manufacturing firm who is ready, no
doubt, to pay some one by the day to
kick him for taking a SOO-mile trip in the
hope Of capturing a big order. and per-
haps getting a raise of salary, and dis
covering that the supposed big order was
nothing more nor less than the effort of
a well-known Savannahian to get at the
price Of a small iron safe.
A young man decided recently that he
was in need Of an iron safe. though for
what purpose even his most intimate
friends have been unable to discover. Be
ing economical, he did not see the use
of buying new safe when he could
get secondhand one which would an
swer the purpose just as well, for proba-
piy half the price Of new one. Being
also somewhat of a financier in his way,
ne obtained an option on an article of the
secondhand variety, and began to look
about to learn whether the price put to
him was a bargain.
A bright thought struck hint is a
way bright thoughts have. He would
write TO the manufacturers of safes and
get their prices, then he could determine
the worth of the second-hander. In due
course Of the mails he received numbers
OF catalogues and circulars accompanied
by letters saying that this or that COM
pany would be delighted to receive the
order. He thought il would end right
there, but it did not. one of the manu-
Iacturers was more enterprising than
the rest and he notified one of his trav-
cling men who happended to be in this
section to call on the prospective custom
er at Savannah and secure the order
Inc young man received a call from the
seller OF safes yesterday and had the
hardest task of his life trying to EN-
terrain" the salesman and explain that
II was figures he wanted-not safes. 1t
was hard to tell who the joke was on.

ion should be made for the temporary
care of lunatics here before they are SEM

THE SOUTHERN SECTIONS CLAIMS
The Committee of Five to Urge Them
Before Council.

The opening of streets in the southern
extension of the city so far as it has
progressed, the probable extension of wa
ter mains to Third street and the policy of
the city to extend public improvements to
that section, has given an impetus to build
ing.
Half a dozen new houses are now in
course of construction and as many more
will be built as soon as the streets are
opened or a systematic plan of street
opening and Improvement has been
adopted.
One gentleman who owns lot on what
will be Seventh street when it is open-
ed has had the plans for a residence
drawn for nearly year, but is WAITING,
to find out what the city is going to do
about opening the street. Other people
who own lots are equally anxious to build
but cannot do so because their lots are
hemmed in by other property
The committee of FIVE from the South
side Improvement League is actively at
work and VIII hold a conference with
the city council as soon as possible in
the next few days to urge the claims of
people In the southern section for street
and other improvements.
Within the next week or two the coun-
Gil will begin making up its budget for
1896 and before it gets deep into the work
the league committee desires to present
the claims Of the section it represents.
