A Street Crowd. The easiest thing on the face of the

earth to entertain is a street crowd Everything but curiosity in such a mot ley jam is forgotten. Rich and poor ignorant aud learned, stand elbow to elbow with craned necks and open ~-- tr,e Tr,-+ ~rroL ~-~,,-1 ~ e. blocked the way on Fremont street yesterday at frequently recurring In- tervals. Every time very solemn looking man appeared in the show win dow there was 8 scramble to see whose nose would be fattened on the plate glass first. All the solemn-looking man did was to open a couch and proceed to make 1t into a bed by turning the plush cover mattress side up and put ting on a pair of pillows. When the pillows were squared up the crowd was so great that a policeman had to compel the outer layer of spectators to move on. They did so, grumbling ly.
 Then the bed was unmade. and a parlor couch greeted the people, who smiled and departed. In a few min utes this scene was again enacted. The bed-making man never once re- faxed his countenance or hastened his laborious movementS.-Boston Adyer tiSer.

The Kine's Dog.

A curious advertisement appeared in London paper in the year 1860. Some body had stolen one of the kings dogs, and on the 18th of June a request was made for the animals return, stating that he was."a smooth black dog, less than a greyhound" and was to be re- turned to John Files on his majesty's back stairs.
 The dog was not forthcoming, and a second appeal was issued. It is sup posed to have been written by King Charles himself, as no one else would have adopted such a familiar style in using the monarch'S name. The Kings sense of humor and appreciation of the state of affairs at court are well shown in the little advertisement.
 'We must call upon you again for black dog, between a greyhound and a spaniel, no white about him only & streak on his breast and tail little bobbed. It is his majesty's own dog, and doubtless was stolen, for the dog was not born nor bred in England, and would never forsake his master. Who ever finds him may acquaint any at Whitehall, for the dog was better known at court than those who stole him. Will they never leave robbing his majesty? Must he not keep dog? This dogs place (though better than some imagine) is the only place which nobody offers to beg.''

That Mans Chief End Is to Cruelty Spon.
 taneity on the Cross of Drudgery.
 The Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst writes of "The Young Man at Play" ill The Ladies' Home Journal. He asserts that lit is play rather than toll that is most germane to our true nature and that lies closest to the divine intention. The care needing to be exercised as to the quality of our amusements must never be construed into 8 verdict against amusements in themselves considered. With most of us the play impulse stands far more in need of encouragement than it does of restriction. The proverb, It is better to wear out than to rust out is true in form, but false in spirit. The flowers do not wear out, but neither do they rust out.
 "One reason why so many people are asking whether life is worth living is that we are teaching ourselves that mans chief end is to struggle and to cruelty spontaniety on a cross of drudg- cry. We are not arguing for indolence. Indolence is as distinct from play as a pool is from a mountain brook. But we shall he greatly disappointed in heav- en if it does not give a great deal of opportunity for energy to issue in &C., tivity that takes no thought and is joy to itself, and an experience that will he saintly in heaven can hardly with -ressea De- -crTc1C1sed as limp ana puer1Io if indulged in before we enter heaven.

A Natural TunneI

"The Natural bridge of Virginia has always been regarded as a great won- der and justly so," said E. R. Paine. of Bozeman, Mont, "but there is a far greater one in Idaho near the Bay Horse mine, which is known to very few people, and they have never paid any attention to it, except to make some exclamation of wonder when they first saw it. There is tunnel through a granite mountain. The tunnel is s little over mile long, is wide enough for a double track railroad to pass through and is straight. The walls of this natural tunnel are nearly as even as they would have been had 1t been blasted through by men. or course, it has been formed by erosion, but how Is a mystery. Scientific men can ex- plain it, just as they can explain any cave that has an entrance at either end. but 1t does not satisfy those who see ir. r a railroad should ever ba built through that country the natural sr. neI will be found exceedingly Useful p -Washington Post

Druggists Up to Date.

Druggists keep about as close watch of the season as any people in the world When the spring days appear and la. dies are thinking of putting away their furs the drug store windows suddenly fill with moth balls, powders and pre- parations warranted to knock the spots off q moth at forty rods. When the sun gets up a little higher the moth balls disappear and tan and freckle lotions and preventives for mosquito and fv annoyances take the public eye. When the blazing heat of summer is with us. cool soda with pure fruit syrup signs nestle up against corn remedies and root beer packages. The fall comes on and then the cough lozenge is hatch ed Alongside it are sure cures for Ia grippe, colds, influenza and toothache, while hot soda steams and sizzIes at vour asking.

He Got Judgment.

A Washington attorney is rather noted for the facility with which he forgets financial obligations. He has owed certain grocer $8 for a year or two. The other day the merchant con- cluded to try new course with him. Meeting him ill his store, he said:
 Judge, have customer who owes me small bill and has owed it for a long time. He makes plenty of money, but won't pay. What would you dof''
 ''1'd sue him." said the lawyer en- phatically.
 "Well, I will put the account in your hands," and the merchant pre- sented a statement of the account against himself.
 'All right. I will attend to it." said the disciple of Blackstone.
 A few days later the merchant re- ceived tho following note from the law yer:
 ''In the case of - against - I took judgment for full amount of your claim. Execution was issued and re- turned mo property found Ny fee for obtaining judgment is $10, for which amount please send check. Will be glad to serve you in any other matters in which you may need an attorney"

R1aNE Men In PerAia.

Old inscriptions and carvings have shown that there existed in ancient Persia members of a race of black7skin- ned men, who possessed features resem- bling those of Africans. The origin of these people, as well as their apparent disappearance in modern times, have furnished puzzling questions for eth nologists. Some have supposed that in prehistoric times the greater part of Southern Asia was occupied by primi- tive black race, of which only vestiges remained when the empires of Baby lonia and Assyria arose. Lately de scendants of the black men who fig ured in the early history of Persia are believed to have been found by the Russian explorer, Doctor Daniloff, dwelling among the mountains near Shiraz, east of the Persian Gulf. These people, although they still form an in dependent group, mingle with the sur rounding population, as in ancient times, and find employment at long dis tances from their home. Some of them are to be seen in the city of Teheran.

 She donned her satin gown; From shoulders white and slender waist Its richness rippled down. In folds of flame along the floor
 She trailed its crimson hue; '1 cannot wear his flowers tonight,
 Alasl that they are blue" Behind the little withered stems
 With silken ribbon tied, Too well the velvet blossoms kept
 Their secret till they died. Two colors more the spinster Fate
 Into her shuttle threw, The crimson of a satin gown,

To Make Them Laugh.

Some of the superstitions of the Chl- nese have humorous turn. They have an impression that when there is a long drought 1t Is because the gods are either angry or in a bad mood, 90 they dress dog in comical way and lead him through the streets. All the people laugh, and It Is supposed that the gods cannot help laughing too. After that no matter how long after, 1t is sure to rain, and this proves that the Chinese theory Is correct.

Termites Destroy a Cable.

The French Academy of Sciences was informed last summer of the destruc- tion of an electric cable in Tonquin by the attacks of termites The cable cross ed marshy tract and was enclosed in a tube of lead. The insects bored holes in the tube and completely destroyed the insulation of the cable. It has been proposed to guard the cable against future attacks by enclosing 1t in an en- velope of cotton and jute impregnated with sulphate of copper, which, it is believed, would prove a fatal poison to the insects.

An Animal Cenans

The latest enumeration of the animals known to science includes no less than 386,000 recognized species. The real number is believed to be very much larger. It has been estimated that of insects alone the earth harbors 2,OO0.- 900 species, but the late Prof. Riley re. garded even that estimate as far too low. According to his opinion 10000 900 would be moderate estimate of the number of insect species! The number of individuals is, of course, incalcuIab ble.

For Exploring the Sea. Bottom. A spherical box containing compress

A spherical box containing compress ed air, and large enough to hold three or more persons, has been invented by an Italian named O0rzetto, for the pur- pose Of exploring the sea bottom. It appears, however, that the invention Is not yet 6 practical success, for when 1Tr. ~o~ze++o. accomp panied by i've of his friends, entered his sphere and was lowered 10 the bottom Of the Bay of SpezIa recently, the apparatus for caus- ing the sphere to rise 10 the surface failed tc work. Unable 10 help them selves. or to communicate with the outer world, the three men remained on the sea bottom. In the meantime the long submergence of the sphere had been noticed, and a diver was sent down to find out what was the matter. At this time the sphere had been lying on the bottom nine hours, and an equal length of time elapsed before 1t could be lifted to the surface. When 1t was opened the inventor was half asphyx- lated and his friends were unconscious, but all recovered; and MT. Corzetto Is Eot discouraged.
