JEWEL In ALAMB'S STOMACH
Butcher Sylvester Finds a True
Lovers Knot.
Owner of the Pretty Pin Is
Unknown.

= John W Sylvester, a butcher, employed
at Weayer's slaughter-house. in George
town, Is the possessor of gold "lover's
Knot scarf pin that he secured i'll the most
uiironaDtic manner He took It from the
stomach of a lamb he dressed at the
slaughter-hOuse one day last week
How the lamb acquired the bit of senti-
mental fnery Is not exactly known. OF
course. there was only one way for It to
get into the stomach OF the animal. Ii
went along with a lot OF food, That though
not SO expensive. was certainly more health
fIi. Stin the lamb did not seem to suffer
from the pin and when it made its appear
ance at the butchers there was no e1-
ternal evidences that it was walking
jewel casket.
The lamb came along to the slaughter
with flock OF sheep from near Laurel,
Nd. 1t had grown until it was almost
ready 10 enter The sheephood period OF its
existence. In other words, it was what
the farmers call a "spring lamb and It
had doubtless put in the greater part OF
the summer grazing in some prett meadow
near Laurel
There is little doubt that it was some
Mary's lamb, or at best, some Mary's papa's
lamb. However that may be, it ate the
lovers knot and seemed none the worse for
it. and would probably have died natural
death as far as the devoured jewelry was
1t is a pretty surmise to suppose that
the Maryland lass and her sweetheart were
walking through the meadow just when
the grass was grcenest and the city
boarders We're tie most plentiful. This
particular Mary,s lover was, maybe, Just
IN the. act or presenting her with the Jewel
when the lambs father put in his appear
/ ance
lt is to be supposed that the lovers ran
The pin must have been dropped right at
this juncture. If the lamb had q ghost
1t could probably tell tie rest of the story
of how it came along and ate the pin in
mouthful OF grass. Anyway, the jewel
was found, fresh and shiney, in the stomach
OF the little animal, and Mr.. Sylvester viii
wear IL as souvenir from now on
The butchers say that it is not uncommon
10 find dmosteverything except a lovers knot
IN the stomachs OF sheep and cows A
member OF the Same flock from which
this lamb came had three wire nails in
its stomach. Another had q few small
pebbles
These animals belong to the family of
runinants, or those that swallow their food
as soon as taken into the mouth and after
ward maSticate it while chewing the
cud." 1t is natural, therefore, that foreign
substances sometimes go along with the
food. In this manner the presence OF large
stones in tue stomachs OF camels are ao~
counted for.

Herercrsto- -.tte utter disregard OF police

uuently cuIupcls them to come to full
stop until tney pass. There are also
many beginners who do not understand
the regulations, and would suggest that
the attention of all bicyclistS tie, in some
manner, especially called To sections =, 3,
5, 3, and 10 of article y OF the police
regulations.
SUGGESTED AMENDMENTS.
~ would further suggest that the police
regulations be amended as to include bicy-
cles under the general classification of
vehicles, thus making them amenablc To
all the laws governing the movements OF
vehicles on the streets, except In cases
where their movements have been specially
regulated. This would compel them to
keep to the right While riding and also
from turning a corner at i high rate OF
speed.
Another cause for complaint" Mr.. Croft
says, "is that bicyclists, when it is neces-
sary for them 10 turn to the left from
the street on which they are riding.to an
intersecting street, will cross to the left
oI the street on which they are riding
before turning, thus bringing them to the
left OF the intersecting street, when the
danger OF collisions is great, owing to the
nIparau,yeiy hig gnrate of speed Win which
Some Of them turn Corners
The inspector suggests that there be
regulation adopted compelling them TO cross
the street, or, at least, to go to tho
middle OF the street, and this, lie believes,
would reduce the danger of accidents to the
minimum. .l.fll TO-.
NOT ALL BAD.
I'm Justice 10 the bicyclsts," he adds,
II would say that they are not alone at
fault in the matter just referred to, and
tuat the SAME regulation in reference to
all vehicles would be equally satisfactory
in producing good resultS.''
He further suggests that all cyclists be
compelled to sound their bells when turn
ing corner; that in passing a vehicle
going in the same direction they keep to
the left and sound their bells while passing,
and that in Crossing the path of Il vehicle
they cross in the rear.
Mr.. Croft says his suggestions are not
made for the PURPOSE of reflecting upon
bicycllsts as body for, as Iule, he says,
they are careful, especially the expert
enced riders, but they are meant for the
'scurchers,n and that class which he
denomihatess as entirely regardless of the
rights of others. He says the conduct
of these two classes tend to bring the
whole class of bicycle riders into disre
pute.
