ICECREAM SANDWICHES.
A Novel Rejection Sold from Push
cart in the Bowery.

There are ham sandwiches, and sal
mon sandwiches and cheese sandwiches
and several other kinds of sandwiches
a downtown restaurant advertises thirty
vareties-but he latest is the icecream
sandwich. AS a. new fad the icecream
sandwich might have made thousands of
dollars for its inventor had the novelty
been launched by a well-knOwn caterer,
but strangely enough the icecream sand
witch made its advent in an humble Bow
cry pushcart and is sold for Il penny.
The idea is worthy of better field
for the icecream sandwich is not only a
distinct novelty, but has merits of its
own. 1t will be appreciated by the child
who on eating icecream for the first time
wanted TO have it warmed. While losing
nothing of its flavor, the thin waters
which go TO make up the sandwich help
to modify the GOODNESS of the icecream,
so that it can be eaten more readily. The
icecream sandwich as made on the Bow
cry is constructed i'll this wise: A thin
milk biscuit is placed in Il tin mold just
large enough to receive it. Then the
mod is filled with icecream from Il freeZ-
er and another wafer is placed on top.
There is an arrangement for forcing the
sandwich out of tbs mold when omplete.
and the whole process takes only a few
seconds. The icecream sandwich man is
the envy of all the other pushcart res
taurateurs on the BOwery, as he has all
the patrons he can attend to and the

A Birds Nest in a Beehive.

\ birds nest was recently found in the
middle of an unoccuped beehive. A pair
of great tits near Ludlow last spring
built their nest and laid twelve eggs in
a vacant space among the combs of a
large beehive, with the swarm in full
swing Of honey-ga therng on all sides OF
them, so a correspondent of the Zoologist
says. Both birds and bees went in and
out by the same entrance hole, and
neither seemed to object in the least to
the presence of the other, as the bees
were making honey fast: and when the
hive was opened twelve eggs were found
in the nest.-LOndOn Globe.

Russians as Fish Eaters.

There is no country in the world in
which so much fish is eaten as in Euro
pean Russia, and the reason is because
the Greek church has many more fast
days, and observes them more strictly
than the Western Catholics. The use of
meat is prohibited or greatly restricted on
nearly half the days of the year, and the
result is to give enormous Importance to
the prolific home fisheries in river, lake
and sea, which supply 96.000,0O0 people
with fish food -Ainslees Magazine.

RUSSIAN DISLIKE OF TUNNELS.
Remarkable Statement by an Ameri'
can RAILWAY Inspector.


can Railway Inspector.
There are, naturally, a number of
sweeping curves through the Urals, but
all tunneling has been avoided. The
writer did not sec a single tunnel in the
Ural range. 1t is a remarkable fact that
during the trans-Siberian railway inspec
ton the writer did not observe tunnel
anywhere; and even after continuing the
inspection right into the heart Of Rus
STA, about 1000 miles more of line had
been covered before he saw the first tun-
nel This was near Tyfa, not far from
the illustrOus TOlstOi's home; and it was
while responding to a prearanged invita-
ton from lie grand Russo, that the writer
came across this, the first tunnel noted,
after 5000 miles of overland railway in
spectiOn.
Russian railway engineer would soon
er blow up small mountain than make
tunnel, leaving a yawning chasm be-
tween the rocks, with two ''streaks of
rust at the bottom thereof as a souvenir
of his activity. Or, if he finds that, af-
ter going to the mountain, the mountain
is not likely to yield tc him. his instruc-
tons are to circumvent it by long de-
tour. Anything to avoid tunneling! The
primary aversion for tunnels in Russia
IS not alone their first cost. but their
subsequent cost; for tunnels, like houses.
always have something the matter with
them. "-Cassier's Magazine.
