Shocks Sleepy Tramps.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
An electrician who has a shop on Am
sterdam avenue had tried unsuccess~
fully many ways to prevent tramps
sleeping in his place at night until he
finally hit upon the idea of resorting
to his trade for help. Accordingly he
rugged up a battery and ran a wire from
it to the door knob. Then he placed
push button above the door so that
when he wanted to enter the place him
self he could cut off the connection with
the battery Now when the hobo
touches the door knob at night he re-
ceives shock that dispels all Thought
of sleeping at least in that locality. The
electrician says that he is no longer
troubled by somnolent visitors.

Where Cloves Come From.

From the Designer.
The cloves of commerce are the I'M
expanded flower buds of Caryophyllus
aromaticus Myrtaceoe, a small ever
green tree indigenous to the Moluccas,
but which is cultivated in several parts
of the East and West Indies. Before
the expansion of the flowers. which are
borne in branched panicles at the eX-
tremties of the branches, the buds are
either collected by hand or beaten down
upon mats spread under the tree. They
are then cleaned and dried in the sun,
after which a uniform brown color is
impaired to them by slightly smoking
them over wood fire.
