ray like notes in a sunbeam. This was
probably due to the clouds Of ooze and
mud that the impact of his leaden sink
ers had disturbed.
BY the time he was drawn down TO
the lead weights he was in a dense fog
of white that his electric light failed
altogether to pierce for more than few
yards, and many minutes elapsed be-
fore the hanging skeets of sediment
subsidized to any extent. Then, lit by
his light and the transient phosphor-
escence of distant shoal of fishes, he
was able to see under the huge black
ness of the superintendent water an
undulating expanse of grayishwhite
ooze, broken here and there by tangled
thickets of n growth of sea lilies, wav-
ing hungry tentacles in the air. Fur
thcr away were the graceful, traps-
lucent outlines of a group of gigantic
sponges. About this floor there were

scattered n number of bristling, fat
tish tufts of rich purple and black,
which he decided must be some sort
of sea urchin, and small, large-eyed or
blind things having curious re-
semblance, some TO woodlice md others
to Holsters, crawled sluggishly across
the track of the light and vanished
into the obscurity again, leaving fur
rowed trails behind them. Then sud.
denly the lowering swarm of little
fishes veered about and came towards
him as n flight of starlings might do.
They passed over him like phosphoi-
cscent snow. and then he saw behind
them some larger creatures advancing
towards the sphere. AT first he could
see it only dimly, family moving fig
urc remotely suggestive of q walking
man. and then IL came into the spray Of
light that the lamp shot out. AS the
glare struck IL. il shut its eyes dazzlcd
lie stared in rigid astonishment.

NEW YORK CANDY PE0DLERs.
Clustered In Dingy East Side Rooms, They
 Sleep on the Floor.


 Very nearly all the dark skinned men who sell that brilliantly colored candy from push carts are members of a regu- lar clan and for the most part Greeks When the day has ended and their work is done, they gather together in dozen or more dens in Roosevelt and Cherry streets just at the foot of the famou Cherry hill, there to eat, rest and before sleeping to load up their carts for the morrow, that they may get an early start. E%
 One of these rendezvous presents a unique appearance late at night. It is generally a store on the ground floor, that the push carts may be trundled out easily when heavily loaded. Ftom the sidewalk the 'tstore ''Ndoes not show a single ray of light It looks forbidding and deserte ABnt it's door opens readi- ly:%N The entire front of the long apart ment is filled up with carts laden with the sweets and displaying signs. Only narrow passageway is left to get to the back of the room.
 as Here, around smudgy table, five or six chattefing Greeks afe playing cards and quarreling over the game. On the boards is spread quantity of candy, newly made and cooling, for it is in a room back of this that the stuff is pre- pared. The candy maker not only makes profit selling to the peddlers, but he gets still more of their money, lodging them on the same floor as their push carts.

 Springfield, February, 1896. The New Wash Stufs.
 That windowful of new things is winning the highest praise. Designers must have been living all winter long in rare tropical gardens, you think, amongst brilliant foli- age and lovely flowers to con- ceive the effects in some of these new things-the fine printed organdies and dotted Swiss null, for instance. Did anything ever suggest balmy days and summer sunshine more than these?
 And yet, the prettiest things are not in the window, per- haps, you'll think when you see the scores and scores of new stuffs at the counter. Right aisle.
 A Garniture Hubbub.
 The name is appropriate. The news caused a hubbub Saturday, and is likely to as long as the garnitures last.
 French and German jet and braid garnitures---our New York offices sample are go- ing at,about what they'll fetch ---25 cents to $1o. Dress makers had better come. Left aisle.
 Buttons and Trimmings.
 The new things are prettier and greater in variety by far thanwe" have ever seen them. We venture to say that mo- body else in this region has such a collection, and the as- sortments are growing greater every day.

 Dainty Lansdowne Made by William F. Read of. Philadelphia and: stamped in the selvedge' every few yards with his name. No other silk and wool stuff will ever equal it, probably either in the exquisiteness of the fab ric or the luxuriousness of the colors---$1 a yard. These colors are just in: Navy, nile, brown, green, wine, lavender, old rose, slate, orange, light blue, fawn, pink, canary, cream.
