A Figure and ~ Business That Have
Wholly Disappeared.

Here's your white sand, black sand:
White sand,
White sand and black sand,
Now, here's your white sand.
Black sand MANI
Such were the words sung by the
melodious voices of a few robust col
ored men through the streets of Wash
ington, says the Star, half a century
ago; but the sand man and his business
have entirely disappeared, for no longer
the market exists for the material. The
white sand was then used for scrubbing
purposes ard sanding floors, and the
black sand for use on manuscript to
dry the ink. While large quantities
were used in the departments, many
stores and offices, as we'll as families,
were the consumers, and in some fami-
lies sand boxes are handed down to the
grandchildren to remind them of the
days of the old quill pen. These men,
with horse and cart, would early in the
morning appear with few bushels of
white sand, and possibly peck of the
black material, and for a few hours
they would cry it through the streets,
selling by the peck. quart and pint-a
levy (l2h cents per quart for the
white and often 25 cents per pint for
the black. Now scrubbing soap has al
most entirely superseded the white ma
teral. and blotting paper has driven
the black sand ont of the market.

The man who stands idly by and
sees the life fading out of his wife's
face, sees her health going, sees her
becoming old and faded ahd wrinkled
when she should still be III the perfect
enjoyment of vigorous, useful health,
is either less than a man or else does
not know of the one remedy that will
bring her back to health ano strength.
Perhaps her husband cannot persuade
her to go to her doctor, because she
naturally breads the inevitable 'tx

A MENAGERIE FOOD BILL.
wild Beasts Consume $25.OOO Worth
of Food Every Twelve Months.


When papa takes the children to see
the animals he has likely thrown off
business cares for the time and it does
not occur to him what the circus pro-
prietor has to spend to keep those ami
mails alive and interesting. The cost of
the establishment of prominent ami
NAL collector in Germany includes some
astonishing figures.
The food bill is the main item, of
course, costing probably $500 month.
An elephant consumes 200 pounds of
rice. biscuits, clover, ETC., every day.
Add 10 the food bill the wages of the
enormous staff of feeders and work
men whose services are in constant de-
mand and you will have some vague idea
of the bills that are presented for pay
ment. They amount to thousands of
dollars every year.
The annual food bill at the London
Zoo comes to S25 ,0UC, and the items last
year included 10000 pounds of whiting.
$50 quarts of shrimps, l60 bushels of ap-
Piles, $4,000 oranges and 90 baskets of
cherries. Even wild beasts have their
luxuries.

Faro was king at the national cap

There were no clubhouses, so called,
