He Had No Money and should Have
Stayed Away.
NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-Hugo Lahnstein,
a real estate dealer, of No. Is West Nine
ty-fourth Street, is i'll in bed from injuries
which he says he received on Thursday
evening in a gambling house in West For
ty-fourth Street, between Sixth Avenue
and Broadway.
Mr.. Lahnstein asserts that after losing
$50, Geo from time to time in the place. he
was on this occasion barred from playing
and was kicked and severely beaten. Mrs
Minnie Lahnstein, his wife, made a COM
plant at the West Forty-fourth Street po-
lice station yesterday afternoon, but up
to late hour last night no arrests had
been made.
Mr.. Lahnstein, who was formerly in
business as q butcher, says he became ac-
quainted with the gambling house propri-
etors through supplying their res
taurant with meats. He showed the re-
porter huge file of checks, many of
them made in favor of his alleged assaiI-
ant, and some of them for sums as high
as $500. All of these, he said, represented
but a small part of his losses.

SEA MOSS HARVESTS.
Little Used for Blanc Mango Now
But Brewers Want 1t.
(From the Bangor Industrial journal.


Fifty years ago blanc mango was not
only common article of diet, but also
took the place of ice cream at evening
parties and church socIables. In many
cupboards there are today the quaint,
faring goblets which were made for blanc
mango glasses and have outlived their
usefulness Irish moss was a marketable
article in those days, but messing was
not big industry, and the product of
the rocks was probably not a tenth OF
what it is today. Irish moss has been
put to a new use within recent years, and
instead OF being gathered for food it is
now gathered for drink. This Information
came from a silent man who was raking
over the drying moss on the beach.

Yes
Isn't it hard to get enough for the peo-
pie of this country to eat?
No. We would starve to death on what
is sold for food
What is it sold for, then?''
For beer
is that so? Do the hreweries use it
instead of hops?'
No; for purifying the beer
This was new light. The picturesque
rows of tubs. mounds and patches, the
patient drying and washing and bleaching
were, then, all for beer
The mosser requires of nature two
things, submerged rocks for the mess to
grow on and clean, sandy beach for it
to dry on. His outfit begins with a
dory and fine iron rake with slender
wooden handle twelve or fifteen feet
long. He rows out to the rocks on the
ebb tide when the water is smooth
enough so that he can see the bottom
clearly. The moss is very dark green,
and looks black in the deep water com
pletely covering the rock on which 1t
grows. The Eosser reaches down with
his rake and gets its teeth filled with
the stunted plants, which grow on y
three or four inches high. Each rakefui
is dumped right before him in the widest
part of the dory, and on flood tide,
when the water gets too deep for further
work the mosSer rows back to shore.
The great black heap of moss covers up
his legs and rises q foot or more above
the sides of the boat. In deep spots it
is possible to work only short time
before and after dead low water, but in
other places the mosser can rake on
three hours ebb and three hours rise,
giving him six hours to tide.
After the moss has been gathered a new
crop Will grow in a few weeks, SO the
mosser goes repeatedly over the same
ground, and learns the bottom thor

night tides when the water is smooth
While man can gather So and even SIC
worth of moss On q fair day, there are
many days when he can gather none at
all. Stormy weather means setback not
only in gathering, but also in curing the
moss, and in any weather there is also
danger from disease like rust that gets
into the moss and renders it unmarked
able.

loaded dosy he leaves it afoat while he

sized room 1t looks almost black at first,
but as it lies in the sun, raked over day
after day, 1t assumes green, brown, and
reddish tints. After washing however
1t becomes uniformly yellow, with sort
OF translucent appearance. Under some
conditions the moss can be cured in ten
days, and at other times the process may
occupy three or four weeks. Each mosser
has near his cottage or shanty a lot of
patches, whose varying eolors show the
different stages OF the process. AT some
stages rain is likely TO seriously delay the
curing process, SO that at night the moss
is heaped up like haycocks and covered
with saiIcIoth.
After it is dried it is thoroughly washed
and then dried again. The washing is done

Ordinary wooden hay rakes are used TO
turn the curing moss, and the work is done
by men, women, and even children, whose
bare feet are tanned and wholesome look

product and ship IL to Boston. The stow

WILDER's LITTLE JOKE

genuine surprise party.
Wilder is nothing If not q practical

Although not able TO speak from personal

enulating the example of the immortal
Tanner, who achieved worldwide fame by
fasting forty days.
Catarrh is certainly becoming a national
disease, and there is little doubt but that
errors in diet, particularly overeating. is
a very common cause.
Most people, however are more inter

has combined all of these remedies in tab

superiority of this tablet over other catarrh
