PAUPERS AND SCRAP IRON.
The Grounds of an AImshouse Beautified
by Desultory Ingenuity.

by Desuitory Ingenuity.
What can be made out of scraps is shown
in many ways in the domestic economies OF
Blackwell's island. 1t has no more inter.
esting illustration than the arbor work
that is being put together there from time
TO time. No silver of iron goes to waste
about the almshouse grounds. Among tn.
paupers are many clever artisans in the
metals, who are able to make anything
from a crowbar To a clock. 1t is pleasant
occupation for them to tinker away in the
shops. so the keepers have had them work
over the iron hoops, broken stove lids, dis
used kitchen utensils, tin cans and Other
institution wreckage.
Out of this unproniising material they
have made ornamental trellises and wick.
erwork, handsome garden gates and sum.
mer houses for the vines to Chamber over.
Set at intervals about the almshouse farm,
these bits of adornment give it some of the
aspect of an English estate, with lodge
gate and inviting hooks. The accummu.
lation of picturesque effects Is going on
slowly, but constantly.
An important auxiliary is the roadmak.
ing that is carried on with the aid of the
workhouse people. The island is being
provided with system of highways that
delight the doctors who ride wheels They
are hard and smooth, and, what is more,
no money is spent in their construction.
From the rock of their beds to the top
dressing OF ashes fgsnped dow, to the
smoothncss of asphalt everything is the
product of the islands waste. No expense
is incurred in keeping work horses. A
dozen short term men at the end of long
rope will jerk along cart as full rs it will
hold of building material. The problem
OF employing the city's charges without
bringing them into conflict with the jeal
ousies of the labor unions is well on to
ward solution upon Blackwells s island -

"Women are growing more sensible as

'Ferhaps / ought not to expect her to

man. "Her hair may be up in curl papers
or crimping pins, and in that case l should
be the last man to wish her to take her

The lady's hands went up to the pins In
her hat, and then, glancing at the man
next her, she let them drop in her lap.

The lady whirled around in her seat
with blazing eyes.
"You can't think why wear hat in

The short man looked as IL he had q

"I-I don't understand" faltercd the
short man.
"Ob, don't you? Well, as soon as the
curtain goes down he will grab his hat
and coat and bounce out into the aisle,
calling, Come on, Amelia!' He puts on
his coat as he goes, even if he does knock
down few people in doing it: can't dc
that, and if 1 had to stop to put on my
hat, too, he would reach home before

The short man made no reply, but after
the curtain went up, noticing that she had
no programme he reached over and hand.

One of Lincoln's Kind Acts.

One summer morning shortly before the
close of the civil war the not unusual
sight i'm Washington of an old veteran hob
bling along could have been seen ON q
shady path that led from the executiv,
mansion to the war office. The old man
was i'm pain, and the pale, sunken cheeks
and vague, faraway stare In his eyes be
tokened short lived existence. He halted
moment and then slowly approached &
tall gentleman who was walking thought
fully along. GOOD morning sir. I'm ar
old soldier and would like to ask your ad
vice.
The gentleman turned, and smiling
kindly, invited the poor old veteran to a
seat under a shady tree. There he listened
to the mans story of how he had fought
for the Union and was severely wounded
incapacitating him for other work in life
and begged directions how to apply for
back pay due him and pension Offering
his papers for examination.
The gentleman looked over the papers
and then took out card and wrote dircc
tions on IL, also "a few words to the pen
sion bureau, desiring that speedy attention
TO him.
The old soldier looked at it, and with
tears in his eyes thanked the tall gentle.
man, who, with sad look, badc him good
luck and hurried up the walk Slowly the
soldier read the card again and then turn
cd 1t over to read the name Of the owner.

knew whom nc had addressed himself to,
and his lips muttered; II am glad

The rescue of Evangelina Cisncros, the
Cuban young lady. who, for many
months was confined IN prison by order
OF General Weyler, was brought about
by New York newspaper, and the
achievement Is an honor and credit to
the Journal. which planned and order

and needs no repetition here. The fact
that She has been rescued from n horri-
BILE imprisonment. and that she has been
brought to this country by the same
agency that brought about the rescue, is
enough. The life and imprisonment of
the young girl especially her rescue,
has thread of romance about It, which
some day may be made still more in
teIesting. In the meanwhile the young
men who performed tine rescue should
not be forgotten. Theirs was brave
and daring act, and shows what Ameri-
