Sells Oil from a Push Cart.

A comparatively new shouter of the
streets of Washington is the man who
sells coal oil from a push cart. He
has six ten-gallOn cans of the oil ar
ranged in sockets in the bottom of his
cart. 1t seems peculiar at first
thought that a man could make liv-
ing in such a gas-lightcd town as
Washington by the sale of kerosene;
but there are parlor lamps to be filled.
and coal oil answers for a deal OF
scrubbing and cleaning. The oil
sellers have a peculiar cry, which is
not to be understood unless IT is
taken in connection with a view of
the cryer and his push cart full of
cans. 1t sounds like "ka-lile," with
a very strong accentation on the last
syllable. and it is repeated so rapidly
that it sounds like the rattle Of mus
kerry Washington Star.

What the old Grand Duke of Olden-

workman was arrested on a charge of
insulting the grand duke" and was
condemned to six months imprison-

of it than he issued the categorical or
der, Let the fellow loose at once!
Nobody can insult me. If a donkey
does not approve of Oldenburg, he can

oriental mind. Everything went we'll
until he began to use soap, when sud-

pertinent was tried on other geyserS
with similar results, and for time
it was considered a good blessing, as,
was a great convenience to bring on
a special display by Hsoaping the gey-
SER" as it was called: while before
the advent of the Chinaman and his

was discovered that this sOaping was

Titled Youngster Was i'm Love.

When Queen Victoria was a girl OF

desperately in love with her, believing
that the princess of his choice would
eventually cast aside her royal connec-
tions, become his wife and descend to
his own level. When her uncle,
William ", died, the princess, of
course, assembled the throne, and the
fond youth found his hopes completely
frustrated. Almost beside himself with
disappointment and grief, he sat
down and wrote the words of the we'll
known and once popular ballad, "I'll
Hang My Harp on a Willow Tree"
which appeared in London magazine.
The despondet lover then disappeared.
and, despite the diligent searching of
his friends, was not heard of for over

A young Englishman who left town

thing. but one can't help seeing that
that's why the water is so very cold
It's really a lake of iced water, you
