LONDON COSTERS.
Itinerant Street Venders Who Make
Fairly Good Incomes.

1t Is difficult, if not impossible. to cal
culate with any degree Of accuracy the
amount Of money turned over collectively
In the course OF year by the costers, but
interesting figures may be supplied by
placing on record the gross receipts Of
some street traders.
Many will be surprised to learn that a
coster in the fruit or vegetable line will
make Il turnover OF anything between Is
and fl2 per week, full third Of this be
ing profit. The figures vary much, nat
urally, with the season Of the year and
the state OF the markets, but he is reck-
oned poor fruit coster who cannot
make an average OF f2 los. to t3 weekly
profit. Despite this income, which many
a clerk would envy, tales Of distress are
frequent among them, owing TO their uni
versal improyidence. Fish Is not 50 profit
able line OF business, partly owing TO
the more perishable nature Of the stock,
and q fish coster who 10 q "f2 man" aft
er reckoning up on Saturday night has
no cause to grumble al his week work.
The profits Of venders of penny toys,
puzzles and other articles so familiar in
the Strand and elsewhere vary according
to their cost, which ranges from 4d. to
"a. per dozen. A pound TO 23s. il reck-
oned a good weekly earning, but during
the recent button craze energetic workers
had no difficulty In clearing double this
amount in some instances.
The gutter oilcloth merchant calculates
upon a profit OF Cd. to Is. piece, accord
Ing to size, and can dispose Of 40 or 80
pieces IN the course Of q Saturday even
ing alone, to say nothing Of Stacker busi-
ness done during the rest Of the week. A
street bookseller recently admitted that
he had "never cleared less than II a
week." and ON further inquiry that does
not appear to be much above the aver
age. The proprietors OF those miscella-
neous stands to be found chiefly in the
East End. where everything from violin
bow to saucepan lid may be purchased,
have a difficulty in telling their profits,
as owing to the nature OF their stock,
some things sell rapidly while other ar.
ticles lie on hand for months. That there
is money to be made at this trade is cvi.
dent from the fact that many OF its fol-
lowers are pointed out by their less fortu-
nate brethren as being the owners OF the
houses in which they live.-IOudon Mail.

weather comes the hogs will be pre-
pared to take readily to grain that will
then be given them.
The Cowpea, like clover, improves the
land instead of taking from 1t. In 9TH
er words, II both fattens the hogs and
fattens the land. So II follows that
the best summer pasture for hogs
would be to start them off early on q
rye or wheat field as soon as clover is
well enough advanced to turn the hogs
on and keep them there until the latter
part of the summer and then finish
of cOwpeas. By this method you will
find yourself with herd Of fat, healthy
porkers and raised at a small expense.
Not losing sight Of the water supply,
which should be plentiful and healthy,
always remember that pastures for
your pigs should contain grasses that
are tender and juicy If you wish them
to thrive. Pigs do not have all of their
temporary set of teeth until they are 3
months old and of course cannot bite
or masticate anything old or tough,
and when they do cut their temporary
set they only contain about one-half
as many teeth as they have when they
have full permanent set. One Of the
greatest causes of the death OF so many
pigs is because they are placed ON food
they cannot mastlcate and thereby die
of many disorders.

Glover stands higher In analysis than
almost any other grass for pasturage;
besides. ii is useful TO the farmer, more
so than most crops, as a fertilizer, for
nothing enriches the land more than
clover when plowed under in the fall
after having been pastured all summer
to the fullest extent, says a Kentucky
grower In Swine Advocate. Toward the
last Of the summer months all clover
fields become somewhat rank and dry.
From then on they are not ample for
the thorough maintenance and growth
OF hogs, so other kinds of pasture must
be provided.
Search your books on feeding and see
If you can find anything that compares
with cOwpeas. A patch of them would
be the very thing TO finish out your
summer pasture. The peas themselves

OUR TOWN
SWEPT BY FLOOD
CONTINUED from First Page

The Stove Works were badly flooded,
there being several feet of water in the
foundry, which will delay moulding for
a week or more. The Shovel Factory
was also flooded, which will no doubt
delay starting up.
There was no loss of life, although
some very narrow escapes occurred,
Among the latter were William Com
mons and Charles Nungesser, who came
near drowning while trying TO rescue
some pigs from the creek that flows
through the hollow this side of Welsh
Hill.
If any additional evidence Is needed
to Justify the statement that Sundays
flood was the greatest ever experienced
by our citizens it is to be found in the
sum total of damage wrought, which is
greater than ever sustained by water at
any one time in the history of our town
Aside from the damage TO the p. x K.
and ID. L. < w. railroads, the loss sus-
tained about town amounts to many
thousand dollars. The Danville Stove Il
Manufacturing Company, alone, is a
loser to the extent of $4,000. Not a
department of the works escaped, but
the greatest damage occurred in the
foundry. The large quantity of mould
ing sand on the floors, which attains
perfection only after prolonged use and
careful manipulation was utterly de-
stroved-washed away or mixed with
mud so as to be unfit for use The care
fully made moulding floors are washed
and spoiled. But for the loss of the sand
things here might be got in good work
ing order in a week or ten days. As it is
General Manager James Foster Mon
day stated the loss in the foundry alone
will amount to many hundred dollars
\ large number of stoves neatly polish
ed and ready for shipping with tons up
on tons of plate or castings, ready for
mounting" were deep under water and
are consequently plastered with mud and
rusty. Much of the plate no attempt
will he made to clean; it will have to be
thrown on the scrap pile and remelted.
The stoves ready for shipment will have
to be repoished and renickeled, entail
ing an extra expenditure which will
form no small part of the loss.
The Shovel factory, too, was under
water. The plant is now fully equipped
and Monday was the date set for start
ing up. Everything about the works is
under deep deposit Of mud The floors
are badly washed and will have to be re-
made. Much of the machinery may have
to be reset, so that starting up now is
indefinitely in the future.
In the Office of the Atlantic Refining
Company in the rear of Ferry street,
the water rose three feet. The contents
of the safe, including office reports, &C.,
were damaged so as to be useless.
There were no idle families in the flood
ed districts Monday. There were food
ed cellars to pump dry, floors to clean
and many repairs to make.
