NEW YORK EAsTSIDE EXCHANGE


 A Place Where Beggars Tramps and I Ragmen Conduct Important Transac- tions.
 | Manhattan is blessed with many ex- changes, running from the stock prod uce variety down through the list to | typewriter and bicycle exchanges But | the strangest of all is probab bly, one To- cated on Bayard street, the secondhand clothing exchange. Thither from morn- ing till night flock those who want to buy or sell old garments. Thither comes the East-side dealer who wants stock for his store, and the tramp who has begged garments. Thither come professional beggars and characters who are even more shady
 Some one has said that the lower East-slde lives on what the rest of the city has thrown away. And, indeed one cannot pass through the crowded east ern sections of the city and not see that there is some truth in the statement. Building after building is devoted to the sale of old clothing, clothing that some one has cast off. There are deal- CTS in boots and shoes, dealers in hats, and dealers in general clothing and dry goods, all of which has been worn and cast aside.
 You enter a door which appears to lead into a saloon. It is a large build- ing and has partitions dividing it into three rooms. In the smallest is the bar. In the rest are unpainted pine tables and a few benches, on which the

TISHIGN NOTES.
A New and Handy Cuff.

Here is a pretty tennis rig, and 1t should be noted that in these days of golf and automobile devotees one gains some degree of distinction by having a suit for tennis. The goods was oxford gray cloth, a staple stuff and color for field suits. From a plain yoke piece the skirt hung all around in side pleats. The slashed bolero was self-trimmed. An under bodice, preferably of white. could be of any wash stuff.
 Shirt waist cuffs are narrower than they used to be, and again the link cuff is out of favor A new idea In cuffs appears in a band of duck as wide as the average cuff, square tt one end and pointed at the other. This laps to the required size, fastens with a single stud and is adjusted over a cuff band. Wo- men who like fresh white about the

Such collar makes a suitable finish above no-collar jacket, and with it the top button of the jacket may fasten without interfering with a tie.
 Over-plump figures never come in for admiration, and now they no longer arouse pity. Fashion doesn't recognise a need of -plumpness. Even if 1t demands faithful exercise and regular drinking of unpleasant mineral waters, there is no excuse, from a fashionable standpoint for too much flesh. Once reduce it and the new corset can be worn, and this corset Is so cut away at the top that woman needs to be more or less athletic to risk it. But for those who can wear it there is full return In suggestion of suppleness and grace, and of actual gain in freedom of move ment and in breathing power.

KRUGER.

The story that Kruger has been cap tured is not yet confirmed, but it is hard to see how he can escape being captured, if the British really want him. and we suppose they do. The old man must be having a mournful time of it. The Lord. whom he relied on to give him victory, has chastened him by defeat, and all his plans have gone awry. Perhaps he will not live long, either in or out of captivity, and very likely he doesn't want to just now.

In a recent interview Mrs. Hetty Green told something of her methods in . business, which are founded on the plan she used to follow when she dealt in horses She said: "I would get a days option on a horse and see what it would bring before buying it. I attribute my success chiefly to the rule of always buying when every one wants to sell, and selling when every one wants to buy. There's price on everything I have. When that price is offered I sell ' never buy anything just to hold on to 1t. Not much! And I try to steer clear of Wall street. Any one who hasn't whole fortune to back his deals had better do the same. do everything with all my mind If there is a lawsuit on hand go into every detail of it with my lawyer. It's the same with every thing else"

Russian red tape: A man in Moscow ordered a particular kind of horse from one of the government breeding estab- lishments. After delay of three weeks he received an official communication, spread over much paper, to the effect that as he had omitted to forward a stamp for reply there could be no an- swer to his request This document was signed by several officials. The gentle man apologized and sent the stamp at once In the course of the next week he received another communication from the breeding establishment to say that a horse such as he required could not be supplied.

Robert s. Brookings and Samuel s. Cupples, of St. Louis, have transferred property valued at $5,000,00O to Wash ington University of that city. By the transfer the university comes in pos session of one of the largest private shipping stations in the world, known as the Cupples Station. One reason given for the sudden transfer of the stock is that MT. Cupples is lying at the point of death, and wishes the transfer to be legal and binding before his death, so that there can be no question of a broken will. MT. Brookings. who has been receiving a salary of $2500O a year as manager of the Terminal Associa- ton, has volunteered to give up his salary and serve in the same capacity for the university for nothing.

One of the marvels of the Paris ex- position is the. .cineorama, which realizes for the visitor the delights of balloon journey through Europe and Africa. The illusion is produced by series of cinematographs of new and special type passing before the eye at the rate of 35.000 to 10000 minute in the ten synchronic apparatuses placed in the center under the car of the balloon in which the travellers are seated. The scenes are projected upon the decagonal surface of an immense panorama, the invariable distance of which is so call culated that the figures in the fore ground are life-size. Color photography has been employed with astonishing success.

sanitation and Superstition.

Recent reports from Honolulu state that
one of the difficulties in the way of a COM
pletely successful campaign against bubonic
plague in that city is the attitude of the
Cinnamon toward cremation. 1t has been
the practice in pl6gue-infected cities of late
years to consign the bodies of the victims
of the disease to the flames, thereby effec
italy preventing the spread of contasion
from that source. The Chinaman. however
includes among the articles of his faith a
firm belief that his soul will not proceed to
the heavens of his ancestors If his body is
not consigned to the earth in his native land
Even the poorest of the emigrants from
China makes provision for. the transporta-
ton of their bodies home should they die
in a foreign land. although this process is
very expensive and severely drains the slen-
der income of the Celestial. In consequence
of the superstition Cinnamon afflicted with
the plague. their associates, will re-

their condition from becoming known to

hospitals and will hide away and die miser-
ably in filth before venturing to expose
their symptoms in the fear that detection
in disease means the mutiation of their
bodies after death at the hands of the sur

for the afflicted ones take the very precau-
ton to hide their diseases which are calcu-
lated to spread the germs of contagion.
Civilization may not fully eradicate these
hampering doctrines by substituting more
wholesome sense of individual responsible
ity but it will go far toward rendering GER
tain places in the world more decent and
orderly. 1t is evident that until the mis-
slonaries and the teachers can persuade the
oriental to change his faith concerning the
relationship between his body and his soul
after death, progress in sanitation and. to a
