hey Know Fish Days st Fulton Market
and the Steamer Sailing Days.
Every day is in a measure fish day
At Fulton Market, but the seagulls
know the chief fish day of the week.
It is then that they feast to their
hearts content. Their coming and
going has for years amused and In
terested the ferryboat passengers,
and some of the latter have been OBJ
served to look up from their papers,
glance out of the cabin windows, catch
sight of the army of gulls and ex-
claim:
"Bless me, there are the gulls. 1t
Is Friday again."
The long-winged travellers of the
sea are always to be seen In the East
River opposite Fulton Market In the
day time, but they gather there In
greater numbers on Friday because so
much refuse is thrown away that
day. They hover over the surface of
the water by hundreds. taking from
the water such food as is to their lik-
ing. They are the scavengers of the
East River In this respect.
The intelligence of the gulls is re-
markable In one way. Besides know
ing which is the big fish day on the
East River. they know the chief sail
ing days on the North River.
The American Line usually dis.
patches a steamer for Southampton at
10 a. m. every Wednesday. Some
minutes before the ship leaves the
pier the circling of the gulls In mid
stream begins. The birds know from
experience that before the ship leaves
quantities of food are thrown from
the ships ports and they make a dash
to recover 1t the moment the ship pulls
out. 1t is amusing to watch one of
the gulls trying to lift from the water
n piece of food twice as heavy as it.
self.
Sometimes these gulls will hover
around the American Line pier until
noon of Wednesday. At this hour the
Red Star liner starts for Antwerp,
leaving the water of the slip filed with
discarded food. More frequently. how.
ever, the birds will hurry off to the
White Star Line piers directly after
the American liner leaves her wharf.
The White Star steamer sails each
Wednesday at noon
On Saturdays and Thursdays the
gulls go to Hoboken to get what the
Hamburg-American liners leave be-
hind. These are about the only lines
that have q fixed hour for sailing and
the gulls have become acquainted
with the fact
The harbor gulls fare better than
their kind far out at sea. The latter
frequently have to follow a ship for
days to supply the demands of their
appetite.-New York Sun.

The royal nurseries of Europe will
always form subject of great inter-

English princes and princess are al

favorites with their royal grand
father, King Edward VII, and during
his former brief holidays on the
continent no day has passed by with

Mrs. Andrew Carnegie.

Mrs. Andrew Carnegie is compara-
outside of her circle of personal
friends. Her tastes are simple, and
do not incline to the brilliant social
life which it would be easy for her to
lead. Those who know her say that
she is most agreeable hostess. frank,
affable, and cordially hospitable in her
welcome to the beautiful homes OF
which she is mistress. She shrinks,
however, from publicity. and she is
glad to slip behind the protection of
her husbands prominent and strong

The atmosphere Of great cities Is
full of the dust of old clothes, old
houses and old machinery worn away
by the grinding of everyday life.

worn articles.
A calculating genius estimates that
there are more than one million peo-
pie who walk through New york's
streets daily, and In so doing wear a
ton OF leather particles from their
boots and shoes.
This would in year form leather

A Lesson In Detective Work.

1t was early morning. The rising
sun had dispelled the gloom and weak
ened all the little birds, who forthwith
began the usual row.
Under the shadow of wall at the cor
ner OF the long seaside road stool two
men, one an inspector of police. the
other a lately Joined police recruit.
The inspector was treating his COM
panion to a lesson in detective work
and explaining the science of obser-
walton and deduction which enabled a
man to reason from effects to causes.
Observe" said he, this man ap.
preaching; on his shoulder he carries
something in long cloth case; that
is a gun; his right hand coat-pocket
bulges in peculiar knobby way, that
indicates cartridges; his boots are
muddy, 50 are the knees OF his trous-
ers. Therefore, he has been on marsh
hnd. probably duck-shooting; let us
ask him.
What ho! friend, shot anything?"
But the sportsman shakes his head
and, opening the cloth case, displays
a fishing rod; as he turns to go, he
produces from his right coat-pocket
handful of cookies, which he offers to
the inspector.
And the recruit, striving to give
practical application to the words OF
his superior, wonders whether rhe
man caught the cookies with rod and
line.--Tit- Bits.

New Ideas For summer curtnins.

The latest idea for dwarf blinds is
to paint across the fine canvas eta
mine or even silk foundation a few
bold sprigs or trails. A good opportu-
nifty Is here given to the ingenuity,
symbolical knowledge and private
taste of the home worker, who can
bring any amount of originality to
bear on depicting the blossoms of the
month, of the nation, the favorites of
the mistress of the house, or again re-
calling her guests or her own name,
and harmonizing with the decoration
of rooms. In different style OF trim
ming for these blinds de luxe lace
squares in old-fashloned guipure dart
are introduced, whim which sug-
gests to .needlewomen the advlsability
of inserting likewise some of the
meshy squares in the linen or satin of
cushion. table covers, curtains, bed
spreads, alone or in combination with
drawn work medallions. Stencil STAIN
ing in imitation of cloisonne enamel or
cathedral glass is another conceit, the
boundary ridges or laid work being in
this case replaced by an outline of gold
or fancy cord.-New York Commercial

A new touch of elegance refers to
the empiecements of lace which trim
our sleeves and bodice. Instead Of
allowing the material of the bodice to
show through the meshes of the lace
the pieces are lined with either silk
or linen of the same shade as the
lace-beige, cream, ecru or string col
or, as the case may be. This looks
rather cooler than if the color of the
dress, presumably darker. showed
through the interstices. 1t is con-
sidered rather more distlngue than If
the lace were used over "transpar-
ent."
