Itinerant Street Vendors Who Make
Fairly Good Incomes.

1t is difficult, if not impossible, to
calculate 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 IL learn that
a coster in the fruit or vegetable line
will make turnover of anything be-
tween sg and s12 per week, full
third of this being profit. The
figures vary much, naturally, with
the season of the year and that state
of the markets, but he is reckoned a
poor fruit coster who cannot make an
average of e2 los. to G3 weekly
profit. Despite this income, which
many clerk would envy, tales of dis
tress are frequent among them, owing
to their universal improvidence.
Fish is not so profitable line of bust
ness, partly owing to the more
perishable nature of the stock, and a
fish cester who is "a2 man" after
reckoning up on Saturday night has
no cause to grumble at his weeks
work
The profits of vendors of penny
toys, puzzles and other articles so
familiar in the Strand and elsewhere
vary according to their cost, which
ranges from 4d. to I'd. per dozen. A
pound to 25s. is reckoned a ,ood
weekly earning, but during the recent
button craze energetic workers had
no difficulty in clearing double this
amount in some instances.

The Master Inventor.

A story will serve to throw new
light upon Edison's character. At one
time there was great fear in the
scientific world that the deposits of
platinum were about to become ex-
tinct. Edison thereupon organized a
correspondence bureau, and sent let
tiers to every American consul upon
the globe, to British consuls in ports
where the United States had no repre-
sentative, and to scientific men in
every land. The letter gave clear
statement respecting the metal, how
and where it was found and might be
found, how it could be Unidentified and
treated, and much other information.
In each letter was enclosed samples
of platinum as found in the various
rock beds. This may seem to be a
small undertaking, but when it is re-
membered that the letters were sent
off by the thousands, that the postage
was ten cents to each letter, and that
the pieces of platinum enclosed were
almost as valuable as metallic gold,
the cost of the achievement is readily
seen. While he did not succeed In
greatly increasing the output OF
platinum, he set at rest all fear OF it's
extinction, and thus earned the
gratitude OF every scientific inves-
tigator.-Frank Leslie's Monthly.

CASE OF THE SMOKER.

Twelve Arguments Against Him Met

Welcome and interesting was the

reasons against smoking.
l. Unnecessary.
2. Expensive.
3. Leads to doubtful companion

4. Leads to worse resorts.
5. Leads to drinking.
6. Sets a bad example to ones

z. Wastes time
s. 1t is almost universally practiced
by the low, vicious and criminal.
8. Can with difficulty be practiced
in moderation.
10. 1t is unpleasant in the home

II. Interferes with procuring life

4. Yes, let the man smoke at home
5. Denied. Absolutely denied.
6. How about overeatin~, bad table
manners, etc.? Example can't be bad
unless tobacco is an acknowledged
evil.
Z. Denied. Many persons smoke
at their work. Many smoke after a
meal. Many smoke on the streets.

ZANZIBAR WOMEN.
The Water Carriers of the PICTURESQUE
African Port.

The Water Carriers of the Picturesque
African Port.
In referring to the ways and customs
of Zanzibar r. e. Mansfield, ex-United
States Consul at that place, says that
one of the most picturesque features
was the veritable Rebecca at the well.
At almost any hour of the day
crowds of half-clad women. dressed in
gayly colored costumes, can be seen at
the wells and hydrants, drawing water,
which they put into tin cans or
earthen pots that will hold about six
gallons each. When the vessels are
filed they are hoisted upon the heads
of the carriers, who march along under
the burden as erect and graceful as an
athlete would move about unincum-
bered. All the water supply for the
$4,000 inhabitants of Zanzibar is car
ried upon the heads of women.
II have frequently seen a native
woman carrying as many as three
water pots upon her head. one on top
of the other and each standing at
different angle. Each of the vessels
would hold several gallons of water,
and with them all filled she would
march along. balancing them so per-
fectly that not drop would be spilled.
have also seen one of those water
carriers balance six-gallon jar, fllei
with water, on her head while she was
engaged in other tasks that required
the use Of both her hands, and at the
same time place her in stopping po-
sition. The head was so poised as TO
maintain the equilibrium of the jar.
The practice of carrying articles on
their heads has given to the women IF
Zanzibar fine muscular development
Of the neck and shoulders. as well as
an erect and graceful carriage.
The Arab women, very few Of whom
are seen on the streets. wear a kind of
rajama, a robe of colored materials, a
veil, or sometimes silk handkerchief
folded and fastened across the brow,
rIndienne. An embroidered waist
coat and the "barakoa," or gilt mask
of Muskat, reaching nearly to the
mouth, are common, also, while over
all is thrown a large square piece of
silk fabric. which is draped gracefully
about the form. Sandals, or wooden
clogs, held by strap or button be-
TWEEN the toes. completes the costume.
The Hindoo women dress similar to
the Arabs, except that they wear more
gaudy fabrics and more ornaments.
The costume Of the native women,
while less elaborate and expensive, is
quite as picturesque. consists Of two
pieces OF cotton cloth, usually Of
special pattern. with large figures,
varied and bright colors. These

kangas, as they are called, are made
especially for the Zanzibar trade. and
their like is to be found no place else
in the world. One piece of cloth is
drawn tightly around the body, just
below the arms. and is deity and
securely fastened without the aid of
any pins or buttons. Native women
never wear anything on their feet.
Many of them decorate their
faces with paint The women
or Zanzibar wear rings In
their ears. They also wear
nose rings and nose studs. Civilized
women wear gold and silver bands on
their wrists-so also do the natives of
Africa. They even go further AMI
wear anklets. In fact, a native
woman's social standing is gagged W
the amount of jewelry she wears, and
many of the gold and silver ornaments
they wear are handsome in design and
artistic in finish. The semi-barbarous
African woman tries to make herself
beautiful by the arrangement of her
kinky hair. She will spend hours with
small hand glass. arranging her hair
and admiring herself.-Washingt

Sulphur and MOSQUITO Bites.

One of our readers informs us that,
having seen a statement in some En-
glish medical journal to the effect
that sulphur, taken internally, would
protect a person against flea bites, It
occurred to him to try it as a preven-
tative of mosquito bites. According
ly he began taking effervescing tablets
OF tartar-lithine and sulphur, four
daily. He provided himself with
several lively mosquitoes, and having
put them into a wide-mouthed bottle
inverted the bottle and pressed it's
mouth upon his bare arm. The mos
quitos settled on his skin but showed
no inclination to bite him. If this gen.
tleman's experience should be borne
out by further trials, it might be well
for persons who are particularly sensi.
tive to mosquito bites to take course
OF sulphur during the mosquito season.
especially in view of the growing
opinion that the mosquito is the com.
mon vehicle Of malaria.-N Y. Medical
Journal.

You and your mother should both

Journal. when the strain between
you comes try not to let it make in
roads upon the great fund of love and
trust there really is between you;
draw close together to talk over even
your disagreements, speaking honest
ly and with willingness in each heart
to get the others point of view. Never
be satisfied with settlement in which
either of you has shut the other out of
her full confidence. And do you, es-
pecially, remember this: that if the
time ever comes when you turn from
telling your mother all your thoughts,
and heart, and hopes. because you fear
she would not understand, or would
prevent you from carrying out your
ideas-remember that there has al
ready come the little rift within the
lute.'"

Wonder the bird does not disappear

every animal that lives eats eggs.
The night hawk lives almost entire

are so swift in their action that they
have little difficulty in securing
square meal every hour they hunt.
They are SO marked that they can

from you is a matter of doubt. They
have a wishbUne-shaped white mark
on the throat, by which they can al
ways be known.
The noise made by this bird when
descending is made by its wings in
contact with the air. Its throat cry
is squeak, and unpleasant to the ear.
The bird is very attractive when it
flies about in the air. as its curvings
are as smooth and graceful as if they
had been planned and rehearsed for

Il beg your pardon" said the sur

Then there was an appeal to another
saleswoman, but she knew no more OF

Matters became so desperate that
the head of the department was asked
to come to the rescue, and she, too,
was nonplussed as well as amused for
a second, but Of course she did not
show 1t.
"Vaseline lace?" she repeated.
There are so many names given a

"Oh, it's just that little tight lace
that everybody uses for everything,
