Tough on the Young Man.

The practical Joker is ever present
and in a large city like this he is par
tlcularly so.
A young fellow on the South Side Of
town has n friend who is n practical
Joker. The friend is also an artist.
One hot night last week the south sid
err and his artist friend went to pic
mic In one of the suburbs. A fair young
woman among the guests captlvat-
ed the south slider and he informed his
friend. the nesthete. that he was go
ing to see her home.
Whereupon the artist and another ac-
dualntnnce got into the same car with
them and the south slider wondered
what everyone was laughing at.
When he got home and took on his
collar he found printed on 1t In bold
characters, IT am taking her home.

Drerrns, Trinl Begun.

The re-trial of Captain Dreyfus,
which formally began yesterday at
Rennes promises to be Of a most inter-
esting character and to possess many
dramatic features. judging from the
proceedings Of the first day, and the
scene which presented all the features
that surround the closing act Of a noted
tragedy. Dreyfus showed the irmness
which only a man purely conscious OF
his own innocence can demonstrate,
and, on the other hand, the officers of
the court plainly manifested feelings OF
nervousness.
The confidence seemed to be all on the
side Of the soldier victim, and the lack
of 1t on the side of the sympathizers
with the conspiracy of which he has
been the notable victim. Undeveloped
history may be brought to light within
the next few days. and the attention Of
the people of two continents will be
directed upon the details of the trial.

REF1EoTIoNs OF A BACHELOR

In the early days of the church even

Most women can never understand
that with men love and love-making
are mighty different things.
Every woman has an idea that she

Real love always begins by asking

are paying him compliments. A Brit

SAVING SILVER AT THE MINT.

Perhaps the most interesting scheme
for the recovery of waste silver at the
local Mint is that applied to the utensils
of the melting gang. The big iron
string rods, the clippers, the strainers
and the ladies that come in contact with
the molten metal are laid aside at inter-
walls ana sent down stairs. They are
covered with what looks like brown
rust, but is really oxidized silver Sup
pose, to digress a moment, one desired
to get coat of paint off the outside of
a house. In such an event the plan of
scraping away the house and leaving
the Shell of paint standing would be
regarded as somewhat eccentric, yet
that is substantially the method adopt
ed at the Mint The implements are
placed in baths of sulphuric acid. which
attacks the iron or steel but leaves the
silver untouched. Little by little, a
strainer, for instance, will entirely disap-
pear. That is to say, the original
strainer disappears and leaves in it's
place hollow silver counterpart, deli

PM AND HIS DUEL.

The celebrated PM has just fought
another duel, but he is not likely to
adopt the same system of fighting the
next time. The arrangement was that
he and his opponent should stand back
to back, and then step fifteen PAGES in
opposite directions before turning round
to shoot. Unfortunately, at the fifth
pace Pini's opponent in moment of
forgetfulness, turned and let off his pis-
toll. Luckily he missed, and PM, in a
rage, threw away his pistol and finished
his man off with his fists. The traitor
then ran off and has not been heard Of

FINDING UNDER BOSTON.

|
| Highway of a Century Ago Unearthed;
Perhaps Washingtons Military Road
Two hundred years ago Charlestown
! Neck was peat marsh. Less than a
| hundred years later it was crossed by a
good road and the exact stages of evo-
luton of that road are shrouded in mys-
terry.
The workmen excavating for the
foundations of the elevated road piers
down at the foot of Bunker Hill street,
on Main, have found twelve feet below
the Boston and Maine Railroad tracks
large oak and cedar logs laid parallel
as logs are laid in making a corduroy
road These logs are twelve to fifteen
inches in diameter; hewed at the ends
and as sound and as well preserved as
the year they We're laid down. The
road apparently led up toward Bunker
Hill, for it is on the north side of Main
street and trends in that direction.
There is no record of the building of
this highway.
When DR.. Samuel Abbot Green, libra
rian of the Massachusetts Historical
Society, was asked if he could shed any
light on the history of these cedar
relics to-day he said that this road
might have been built at almost any
time in the eighteenth century. In 1888
a road" probably a good highway,
was built across the marshy lowland of
the neck, but this was in all probability
a better structure than corduroy make
shift. DR.. Green said:
I'm the old time the people from the
outlying country had to cross the neck
to get into town, of course Being
treacheroue ground, a corduroy road
would be a very natural kind of road
to build over it. Timber was near at
hand and corduroy road is often the
first expedient in new country. That
road might have been built in 1889 or
hundred years before. It's construction
was not an affair of great significance"
Michael Tallant, who is superintend-
ing the men that unearthed the old road,
has had much experience in city exca-
vations being connected, among other
things with the subway construction.
He is familiar with subterranean Boston
largely. Mr.. Tallant said:
I'VE often find curious things; old
long ago we came across an old farm
well right under the street. The bottom
part of it was open and he'd nine feet of
OF 1t was open and held nine feet OF
water, which had to be pumped out,
of course, before going further. When
the subway was being dug along Ire
mont street, just in fornt of Kings
Chapel, an immense coffin was I'M
earthed The body was of an abnor-
mally large man. The coffin was nine
feet in length.
"These old logs might have been part
of Washington's military road across
the neck. Anyway, the logs are more |
than a hundred years old and are sur
prisingly well preserved - Boston |
