Robbing the Grocer.
lew York Press

From the New York Press.
The gangs" that used to make life bur
densome in this city have been TO a large
extent exterminated, and such as are left
operate in a small way. The German gro
Ger, simple and dull, is easy prey. Three
pals entered a store the other day to set
tie a bet. 1t took only a few moments
to explain that one had lost wager and
was now about to pay. The penalty was
that he should take home his derby hat
full of molasses, and the German grin
ningly proceeded TO measure out the
sticky treacle. 1t was about the funniest
joke he had ever heard of. His fat sides
shook with internal laughter as he hand
ed the hat to the victim. The latter
quickly damned it down upon the grocer $
head, the molasses flooding hair, face
neck and body. 1t blinded him. He
spluttered and yelled. But in the mean
time the pals had gone through the cash
drawer and helped themselves to its con-
tents, some 1886

POLICEMAN COLLINS INJURED.


Loaded Cotton Truck.
Policeman Charles A. Collins was quite
painfully injured yesterday afternoon,
while on duty. He had stopped a loaded
cotton truck 10 see If ii had the badge for
1899 as required by the city tax ordinance.
While standing at the front of the truck
examining the badge, the mules made a
movement which brought the wheels for

passing over his foot and crushing il
badly.
Word was telephoued the police bar
racks and the patrol wagon was sent and
carried Policeman Collins to his home on
Broughton street, where he was attended
by DR.. Howkins. The wound is qAite
painful and il may be some time before

has the general sympathy of his brother
officers in his mishap
The report that the driver of the truck
whipped up his mules to get away from
the officer, thus causing the accident, was
unfounded

BAH BEARINGS Did II.

Bicycles were invented centuries ago,
but it required the magic touch of the
nineteenth century inventor to make the
wheel most useful vehicle. instead Of
mere toy
Ball bearings did it, 1t was case
where the Improvement has proved great
er than the original invention. The prin-
cple that reduces friction to a minimum
in a bicycle is applicable to all machin-
cry, and the cost is the only obstacle in
the way of what will be known in history
as the Light Draft Era" in mechanics.
Millions of dollars have been spent in this
direction. The Deering Harvester Com
pany, of Chicago. solved the problem, as
far as grain binders and mowers are con-
cerned. by equipping their machines with
roller and ball bearings in 1891.
Other manufacturers in this line have
since followed with several kinds of ex-
detrimental roller bearings, but the Deer
ing machines are still alone in the field
with ball bearings of the bicycle pattern.
The Deering Company's annual cata-
Iogue for 1899 contains some very inter-
esting historical matter on this subject,
fully illustrated. The book also describes
the largest factory in America and gives
the latest news on the subject of harvest
ing machinery Send for one: it's free.

PURE AIR FOR SLEEPERS.

The result Of fresh air in the sleep
ing room will be felt in the various
subtle ways-in quieter nerves, greater
amiability, brighter eyes and clearer
mind and complexion. And though the
subject often discussed, it is worthy
of attention when we realize it's bene-
fits.
There are several points to consider
when Yentilating sleeping apartments.
First, it is important that the air
should be pure, and the value Of fresh
air recognized. Then the physical
condition Of the sleeper should be
thought Of The same amount Of OUT
side air and the same temperature can
not be endured alike by everyone. It
sometimes happens that the admission
of fresh air during the night renders
the sleeper uncomfortably cold. When
this is the case the object Of the open
window or fresh-air current is de-
feated.
A window raised very little at top
and bottom is better than a wide
space. A transom opening upon a
ventilated room is excellent for deli
cate people who cannot bear direct
current in the room.
Study comfort. 1t is a well-known
truth that animals must be warmly
housed at night in order to thrive in
cold weather. The fact is none the less

PLANTS IN QUEER PLACES.
Ten-Story Factory Blooming All Over
With Flowers.

Flower pots exposed along the Win
dow lodges prove that spring is here.
There is no better sign. All winter
the faint blooms have shone behind the
glass Of the panes, but now they take
the open air like invalids confined for
long, but convalescing. They are
curious things, flower pots, and evil
dence the love Of nature born in US all
and staying with us to OUT latest
breath. They are seen too in the most
curious places.
There is a huge smoke grimed fac
tory on the west size, ten stories high.
The air about it is thick with coal dust
and SCOT. Yet all summer it's Lodges
bloom like gardens. One knows that
many girls work in that factory. The
flowers are watered from tin cups that
are carried full and dripping the long
length Of the halls in the luncheon
half-hour. Men would not take the
trouble, but the woman who does not
love BUDS and blooms is as rare as the
woman who does not love babies.
In either case her thinking machin-
cry has slipped cog or was built
wrongly to begin with. Flower pots
and little seamstresses working high
up above the city's roar go together as
naturally as turkey and cranberry
sauce.

true Of human beings. Thought-that
is, intelligent thought-should be ex-
exercised.
No fixed rule for ventilating at night
can be followed on all occasions. Bet
ter no outside ventilation than Excess
sive cold where misery attends.
Warmth and fresh air combined is the
end sought 1t pays to study this prob
lem when we remember that fully one
third of our life is spent in the sleep
ing room.
AS one lady says: 'Sleep is much
deeper and more perfect when there is
plenty of fresh air in the room at
night" The clothing worn during the
day may always be placed at night
where fresh air will find it; and the
same with that worn at night. During
the day fresh air will thoroughly per-
meate it. If the rule Of fresh air for
the clothing as well as the room is
followed, there will be even greater
gain in the important matter of quieter
nerves and brighter faces.

the John M. Smyth Co. of Chicago to

there is time limit to the offer, farm
ers should send in their orders before
June /. when the limit expires and af-
