 Upon heavy stick,
 And I watch him come and go notice that the step is slow
 Which once was light and quick. Her hand is laid upon his arm,
 And love lights up her face, When he. with trembling gallsntry,
 Still helps her OCT the place Where small obstruction chance to lie, Assists her up the stair, And, after fifty years have run Their course, still looks on her as one Who needs his aid and care A smile oft plays around her lips

SPRiNkLING WAGONS,
The Modern Ones a Big Improvement
ON the Old style.

The modern sprinkling wagon is very
different from the old timer. The chief
Improvement Is in the spray head,
which enables the driver to control the
aow of water much better than the old
style. Thus, whether 1t is dirt or a
macadam road or stone paved or as
phalted street, there can be supplied
from The modern street sprinkler Just
the amount Of water required to lay
the dust in 1t without waste.
The spray head on each side has its
own valve rod running to the drivers
seat, with a step there for the foot.
The driver can operate both heads at
once, or he can run only one head. He
can shut off one or open either one at
pleasure. With this sort of wagon the
expert driver leaves behind him dry
crosswalks with perfectly defined linn
its, and when he comes to carriage or
street car upon which he doesn't
want to throw water he shuts off the
flow on that side and keeps the other
going. Sprinkling wagons are made in
uiAouS SiASo' hanging HUH loO SullOuS
to 1000 gallons capacity. There are 20
'sprinkfing wagons sold in this country
nowadays where there were was one
sold only few years ago. This great
increase in their use Is due in large
measure to sanitary reasons, to the
great extension Of good roads and to
the common desire for comfort
Sprinkling wagons are used nova
days commonly in many smaller towns
and villages where they were never
thought Of some years ago. And Amer
lean sprinkling wagons are now found
all over the world wherever sprinkling
wagons are used.
They are exported to Australia, Gu
ba, Porto Rico, South America, South
Africa and Europe. The modern sprin-
king wagon that the traveller chances
to see in Paris or Berlin or Hamburg
came very likely from the same factory
as the one he saw here before he left
home going through his own home
street-New York Sun.

HOW BIG SEATuRTLES FEED
Take big Balls of Grass Ont to Sea
and Eat While Swimming.
$500 each

With my gastronomic taste l natural
ly was very curious to know, just what
kind Of terrapin are caught in these
waters, for the dish is one much
sought after by eplcures and forms
part of the menu for every first class
hotel on the coast. was told that
none is caught about here, but was
invited to sea turtle hunt. Let the
reader imagine turtle weighing all
the way from 1,20O to 1900 pounds,
and not long ago one was turned over
on the beach near Miami that weighed
more than 1,6O0 pounds. OF course
am giving the largest weight, for the
the coast is about 500 pounds. After
they are caught the turtles axe kept for
long time. their captors feeding them
on cabbage. lettuce, turnips, carrots
and sea grasses. i,2,, -
The study of. this monster shellfish Is
most interesting one. I'm order to get
rid of the parasites that cling to- their
shells they often enter fresh streams to
enjoy bath, but they are extremely
tlmid and take fright at, the least
noise. The hunter, knows. however,
that the turtle feeds In ;:brackish
streams where the tide falls rather low
and where the turtle grass grows in
greatest profusion. Fire turtles cut
great quantities OF this grass and then
roll it into ball, cementtng 1t as they
roll 1t with the clay in which the grass
grows, and In this way, when they
have managed to amass a goodly sup
ply Of provisions, they wait for high
tide and float away seward, feeding
as they float. II U
The professional hunters are quick to
detect these balls, and just the mo-
ment they do SO they set their seines
and send their peggers, as the men are
called. In search Of the feeding shoals.

4 Hall of Records Needed.

It Is beyond question that no other
building is so much needed by the
Government in Washington just now
as a hall of records, which the Su-
pervising Architect OF the Treasury
again advocates in his annual report.
In the course of the public business,
ever rapidly growing, there is an ever
increasing accumulation of files and
records which are too valuable to be
destroyed. But it is becoming
serious question where to preserve
them. They are dumped in confused
heaps in attics and corridors of nearly
every public building in the city. The
Treasury Department, which is always
in need of more room, finds itself
pressed into smaller quarters by these
iIl-kept collections. The situation is
much the same in the Postoffice De-
partment and the Patent Office.
What is urgently needed is a new
fireproof building in which all the ac-
cumulations and the additions con-
stantly made to them can be properly
arranged and referred to. AS the mat
ter stands it would be a long labor
to find papers which in certain emer-
gencies might be of great value. The
loss of such papers or the inability to
find them might give new standing to
claims against the Government which
have been successfully resisted. 1t is
a situation which is sure to become
steadily worse until proper measures
have been taken for adequately hous-
ing the records.

EXCLUSION OF coNsUMPTIvE.
Federal Judge Sustuins Action of
the Treasury Department..

NEW YORK, Nov. 29-Judse Thomas,
in the United States District Court,
Brooklyn, handed down a decision yester-
day, in which he sustained the action of
the Treasury Department in excluding
from the country Thomas B. Boden, a
man suffering from tuberculosis.
Boden, accompanied by his wife and
child. arrived in this country on %ovem
ber 8, among the steerage passengers on
the Cunard steamship Lucania.
The physician of the Marine Corps ex-
amined him and declared that he had tu-
berculosis of the lungs. whereupon the
Treasury Department was informed, with
the result that it directed that he should
be sent back to Ireland on the next Gun
ard Line steamship
In the meantime BOden was sent to the
Long Island College Hospital, Brooklyn,
while his wife and child were held at the
Ellis Island immigrant station.
Boden has relatives in Philadelphia, and,
as soon as they learned of the Treasury
Departments action, they employed coun-
sci. Their lawyer obtained writ of
habeas corpus from Judge Thomas as the
best method of testing the case.
The question in all of its bearings was
argued before Judge Thon as. Boden will
sail for Ireland week frc II tomorrow.

WAS OPPONENT OF PHELPS.
Death of Negro Who Fought Stetes-
mnn SucccssfuIIy.

HACKENSACK, y. j.. Nov. 29.-Albert
P Smith, colored the editor of the
Landscape" a country newspaper print
ed at Saddle River. N. j., for twenty
years, died today, aged sixty-nine years.
He printed his little S12x121a paper in a
building on the hillside, not far from
where Joe Jefferson made his home at
Hohokus. There he was born. He was
educated in the country school, and be-
came a leader among the coIored men of
Bergen County.
When lad he was afflicted with dis
ease which left him cripple. but in 1874,
after William Walter Phelps opposed the
civil rights bill, this unknown colored
man made a canvass on his orutches
against the statesman, and Mr.. Phelps
was defeated by seven votes.
Smith had the support of many influ
ential citizens during his later years. and
IL is understood that he Left a comfort
able estate, although none of his rela-
tives took interest in him.
A white man who knew him well and
sympathized with his forlorn condition
was the only person with him when he
died. Mr.. Smith was great friend Of the
Lords Farm people, with whom he was
an intimate associate. His little paper,
printed under the most adverse condi-
tions Imaginable. was taken by the lead
ing politicians of the county.

overxeaIous Correspondents.

The London correspondents of the
New York dailies have discovered a
new trick of forming items of Euro
pean news of sufficient interest to eX-
pand their cables in the duh days of
November Two days ago news came
of the sale of Battle Abbey, one of
the most famous of English estates,
and, TO add zest to the information,
it was stated the purchaser was Mr..
William Waldorf Astor. The contra
diction followed the next day. The
purchaser is Sir Augustus Webster, an
eminently respectable English baronet
When it was reported that Messrs.
Quaritch had sold a copy of an aged
and unreadable book for twen:y-six
thousand dollars the news was ;abled
with Mr.. ]. Pierpont Morgan as the ru-
mored purchaser. There is no reason
why Mr.. Morgan should not have
bought the book in question. The pub
lie has grown used TO him as a pur-
chaser of everything from a one-carat
diamond to the commercial navies of
a continent. Still, for news Of this
kind. where confirmation is so very
simple, it were better that enterprising
newspapers should obtain that confir-
nation before agitating the entire coun-
try with the impression that the
"Psalmorum Codex' had passed into
the hands Of a Wall Street magnate
This desire for an American end"
TO all forms of European news is de-
etroying the value of the cable as a
channel of information.

The Pope's Friend.

The death has occurred in Rome of
Commentators Pacelh, the Oldest of
the Pope's friends. The oldest man in
Rome, he was one hundred and three
years of age, and dispatches state that
he and the Pope We're fond of chatting
in the cool Italian evenings of the
events of the first half of the last cen
tury. The Commentators was link
that bound Pope Leo to the days of
temporal power. when he held the po-
sition of director of internal revenue
under the Papal Government.
From the beautiful lives Of those two
old men, people of all denominations
can learn lessons of purity in life, of
devotion 10 duty, of a placidity in eX-
treme old age more blessed than any
the world can give. No epitaph is so
beautiful as their gentle, simple lives.

Dangerous RAILWAY sn.ed

a civil engineer writes to the London
Times" most apPrehensiyely concerning
the mad rush after high speed which is
taking place on railways, especially on
the Continent, and which he holds cannot
fail TO end in catastrophe. He says that
the Continental railways are emulating
English speed without English permanent
way or English carriages. Travelling by
what is described as the greatly accel-
Grated night service" between London and
Berne, he says that the train consist ed
chiefly Of four-wheeled stock, quite un-
suitable and dangerous for the very high
speed attained, the oscillation having been
simply alarming and most fatiguing. He
AYERS that he would never trust himself
in such trains again. Whoever has OBJ
served a rapidly moving train of single
truck coal cars on one OF the railways in
this country will wonder how such light
coaches as they run in Europe could man
age 20 keep the rails under the circum-
stances above described.

Sunday in England.

To remove ones hassock" is, it ap-
pearg, the English way OF expressing dis
approval of ones rector. Mr. George
Russell uses the phrase in his latest
budget of society gossip-wherein he dis
cusses change in Sunday observance
Leaders OF fashion, he observes, do not
go TO church at all. Some of them think
it all silly" as the wife of statesman
innocently explained to the rchb.snOp
of Canterbury. Others are too tired with
the weeks round, and want the day for
rest; still others live faithfully and lit
orally up TO the Catholic doctrine, that
Sunday is feast. One rich maiden lady
was discouraged ip her habit of church
going by the unlucky attempt OF the in
cumbent of Mayfair chapel TO make re-
ligion. as Lord Melbourne Indignantly
phrased it, invade the sphere of private
life" The blundering clergyman asked
her If she could nct get on with less than
three footmen under her butler, and give
the wages saved to a fund for the sick
and poor. This was obvious priestcraft,
and the good lady resented it by "remov-
ing her hassock"

ests OF the White Mountains The inditier-
ence OF the people OF New Hampshire to
the greatest source of wealth in their
state is the more astonishing because
their attention has been so earnestly called

matter Of national concern, for the Presi-
Dental and Franconia ranges are unex-
celled in beauty by any mountain scenery
