Der Of excursion boats as well as the
number of their passengers. when the

HEARsE DRIVING.
MEN Steadily Employed Mt 1t In the
Larger Cities.

Men Steadily Employed at 1t In the
Larger Cities.
In smaller cities and in the country
the hearse driver may between times
drive other vehicles or engage in some
other work, but in a city of great popu-
lation like New York, where. in the
natural course of things, many deaths
occur daily and where many hearses
are used and kept constantly employed,
hearse driving is a regular occupation
There are many hearse drivers i'll the
city who have been thus steadily en-
ployed for many years Only careful
and skillful drivers a." employed in
this capacity.
The letting of hearses is lo-s stab
lished custom in this city. Many livery
men own from one to dozen hearses
and let them to sections and undertake
ers Perhaps half of the undertakers of
the city do not keep hearses, but hire
of the livery owners. So it commonly
happens that in answering calls from
one source and another the hearses
owned by the liverymen are constantly
employed It might be that all the
hearses owned in a stable, whatever
their number. would be called for day
after day and week after week, as regu-
larly as so many carriages or other
vehicles might be. and so it comes
about that hearse driving is here a
steady occupation, just like any other.
While hearses are commonly driven
to and from the various cemeteries in
and about the city, they are sometimes
driven out Of the city to various nearby
cities and towns Hearses have been
driven to greater distances, but they
are not often driven more than 12 or 15
miles away.-New York Sun.

When Poe Was Hungry.

Gabriel Harrison, who was a popular
young actor in the forties and also an
artist and politician and friend of cele-
brated men. told this story of Edgar
Allan Poe:
II asked Poe several times when he
was at the studio to sit for his portrait,
but he always refused on the ground
that his clothes were too shabby. But
one Afternoon l caught him in an I'M
usually complacent mood and obtained
the original of the engraving you see
there on the wall. This was but three
years before Poe's death, and he was
not at all prosperous
Il recollect that once we were walk
ing up town together late in the day,
when Poe began to sway from side to
side and then stopped He said he felt
faint. We went into cafe, where we
had glass of wine and biscuit. Poe
then told me that his sudden dizziness
was the result of not having eaten any
thing since early morning"

Remarkable Primo.

pianofurte built for Louis XI by the
Able de Baigne. The king one day

paratory to general rush for and pro-
miscuous scramble at the slop pail.
laughingly ordered the priest to contrive
means by which these seemingly dis
cordant sounds might produce harmony.

reverend gentleman scratched his head
thereat. but owing to the prevalence of
the tonsure it is safe to assert that he
did not Notwithstanding which. how

1t Must BE Torture.

DIR. Nachtigal, the celebrated African
explorer, was the guest of rich Ham
burg merchant. The merchant son, a
young man of a somewhat sentimental
temperament. said among other things
that his dearest wish waste ride across
the desert on the back of a camel He
thought such u ride must be very poet
ical indeed.
MY dear young friend" replied the
explorer, II can tell you how you can
get a partial idea of what riding a
camel on the deserts of Africa is like.
Take an Office stool, screw it up as high
as possible and put it in wagon with
out any springs. Then seat yourself on
the stool and have it driven over rocky
and uneven ground during the hottest
weather of July or August and after
you have not had anything to eat or
drink for "a hours, and then you will
get a faint idea of how delightfully."-
poetic it is TO ride on camel in the
wilds of Africa

Nine persons out of 10-yes, 999 out
# every 1,000-if asked how long it
iakes the earth to turn once on its axis
i7ould answer "A hours, and to the
question, How many times does it turn
On its axis in the course of the year
the answer would be 3654 times. Both
answers are wrong
1t requires but % hours and 56 min
utes for the earth to make one complete
turn, and it makes 1861 turns during
the year. The error springs from a
wrong idea of what is meant by day.
The day is not, as is commonly sup
posed, the time required by the earth
to make one turn on its axis, but the
interval between two successive pas
sages of the sun across the meridian
that is to say, the time which elapses
after the sun is seen exactly south in
its diurnal course through the heavens
before it is again seen in that position.
Now, in consequences of the earth S
revolution in its orbit, or path round
the sun, the sun has the appearance of
moving very slowly in the heavens in a
direction from east to west. At noon
tomorrow the sun will be a short dis
lance to the east of the point in the
heavens at which it is seen at noon to-
day, so that when the earth has made
one complete turn it will still have to
turn four minutes longer before the sun
can again be seen exactly south.
