PROFITS FROM WASTE.
Financial Gain of Big City from
the Gathering of tribes in
Public Buildings.

Very few people know what be-
comes OF the waste which they scat
ter over the floors of the city hall or
throw heedlessly into the baskets of
that mighty pile, says the Philadel-
phia Record. Yet the city makes
from $500 to 5000 and $500 on this
waste every year. The cleaning of
the building has been intrusted to the
public buildings commission and to
the chief of the bureau of city prop
erty, the former having charge of the
corridors, the latter dominating over
the $50 odd rooms in the edifice.
Each, in turn. employs large force
of sweepers.
On each floor are four receptacles,
with great bronze doorways, situated
in the supporting walls and opening
into shaft that runs from the roof
to the basement, where it enters a
large room called the waste basket"
These rooms are cleaned out twice
a week, and their contents carted
away-all except the paper, which is
always separated from the other
waste matter and sold.
In amount of rubbish the city COM
missioners hold first place, the sur
vey bureau second, the council cham
bers third and the buildings commits
sion fourth. From them come speci-
acations, ballots, old correspondence,
drawings and iron, copper and tin
waste, which all sell at good prices.
All the profits from this source are
turned over by the various heads to
the city treasurer.

INTELLIGENCE OF FISHES.
Curious Indication. of 1t Noted b,
an Old Eastern Fisher
man

Here is curious thing that fishes
do, and one that seems clearly to
show great intelligence" said an old
fisherman, according to the New York
Sun. ut might be that two fishes
some feet apart saw the same OBJ
ject of prey, maybe a smaller fish, at
the same instant, and they might
both dart for it at once and come
violently into collision while their
prey escaped. Now that would be
when they had each the same chance
OF capturing what they wanted; they
would both make dash for it. But
often I have seen something very
different happen. OF two larger fishes
following along side by side and
pretty well closed up together pur-
suing minnow, have seen the
rearmost sheer off and let the other
fellow have it; apparently, either be-
cause he knew he couldn't reach it,,
and there was no use of his trying
any more, or because he knew that
if he kept on and mixed in he would
make the fish ahead lose the game,
as well as himself. This last would
seem to indicate, besides intelligence,
unselfishness on the part of fish No.
Q; but the action of steering off
when he saw he couldn't get it,
showed intelligence, anyhow"

OF breath to sympathize with the

public, the majority of the people of
pennsylvania are intelligent and
capable. They know and have known
for years each and every one of these
rascals, have suffered from their dep
relations, yet have elected them
again and again, partly through polit-
lcal Indifference, but chiefly through
that stupid, unreasoning spirit which
finds utterance in such phrases as
THE grand old party" and Fright OF
wrong, the party"
