CUSTODIAN DATz's SORROW
Mourns Over the Indifference of @.
A. r. HEen Towards Our Monument

If there be one proud official in this city
today it is the custodian of the City Hail.
During many sleepiess nights he has been

work is finished he stands hours gazing
at it and wondering.
And still the-wonder grew
How one small head could carry all he
knew

is Wreath, the gift of General John
T sRamsayss widow, and another from DR.
I. J. Gordon. These kindly attentions
hayeatended somewhat to soften the Gus
todianss feelings about certain Crane
'.Ahs' said he, looking sorrowfully at
the figure, she is the daughter of the
Grand Army posts, and soon after she
was born they placed her at the door of
the City Hall and abandoned her. All
too proud to do her reverence. Why that
"a copy of that statue is now in the Pam
American Exposition as a work of art
and here no one cares a bit about it, And
why? Because she was not dressed out
as soldier, a musket in her hands, chew
ing cannon balls and keg of beerAat her
feet. Ught
What does it represent?s bystander
asked.

'sOh, then I suppose the Grand Army
men thought it appropriate to leave her
in peace
The Custodian nearly tainted. but
smothering his feelings he said joyously:-
Look at her tonight and you will see
her with red, white and blue electric
lights in her hand Won't that he patriotic
1t was the bystander's turn to faint,
which he promptly did.

The search for shipwrec1s..

There are men securing the sea coast and the .harbors of this country all the year through in search of aban- doned wrecks. If the wrecks are wooden vessels sheated with copper, the men offer good prices for them, but if they are iron vessels, or merely unsheathed wooden ones, they are passed by. Wood sheathed or painted with copper gradually absorbs the cop- per, these wreckers say, and it is then admirable for burning in an open fire place. It gives green flame that is very beautiful, flame in which, sit ting in the dark alone and gazing long iii it, every man may behold his hearts desire. Naturally, such wood is val uable.

WE CAN CHOOSE OUR ENEMIES.
But When It Comes to Choosing Our Friends It Is Somewhat
 Different.

An open enemy is better than gos- siping friend. The story is told of man in public life in Washington who once found himself surrounded by a host of self-appointed counselors, con- tinually advising him, ''as friends" ot many astounding things, which val- ued and lifelong intimate, also in pub- lie life, was alleged to be doing against him, says the Boston Globe. Bitter ness beset the heart of the man when he heard that his friend had turned against him and he grieved.
 Strangely enough, the friend was a1- So grieving, for he had received tales which fflled his heart with doubt of the loyalty of his lifelong, friend. s.The dog that will fetch will carry, ; says the old proyerb; and the .s.friends,' who had told tales to one of these men told the same sort to the other. They were politicians, place-seekers, hangers-on, who for their own ends employed gos- sip, and malicious gossip at that, to Keep apart these two men,
 But the plan did not work. The two men met, charged each other with cool ness and finally learned that they had been the victims of tale bearers. Then one of them said: "We can choose our enemies, but not our friends,'' and in saying 1t he enunciateda a truth.

AMERIcA's SCHOOL ARMY.
ftanding of the Larger Cities in the Number and Cost of Edu-
 eating Children.

In respect to the number of chiI- dren in regular attendance at it's pub lie schools New York stands at the head of American cities, with a total of 45o,000, exclusive of 60O00 pupils who attend parochial schools, says the Sun.
 The number of school children in Philadelphia is 150,000, in Chicago 230,0oo, in Boston 9o,Oo0, in Baltimore, which has a large colored population, 6s,oo0, and in New Orleans, which has asstill larger colored population, 35,- 900.
 There are 55,ooo in Cleveland, 45,ooo in Cincinnati, sO,000 in St. Louis, 5o,- 900 in San Francisco, 5o,000 in Wash ington and 10000 school children in Pittsburgh.
 New York spends more than any other American city upon the main tenance of it's. schools. The school system of Chicago costs $7,oO0,oOO a year, Philadelphia $4,ooo,00O, Boston, $3,6Go,ooo, Pittsburgh $1,6oO,0OO, Balti- more, $1,5UO,0OO, St. Louis 1,5OO, ,o0o, San Francisco, $1,20O,O00, Cleveland s1,0oo,o00 and New Orleans $5o0,oo0.

DANGER IN s1pHoN BOTTLES.
Those Used for ERervescent Drinks Are Under Heavy Pressure and
 Liable to Explode.

Few persons realize, when they are handling an ordinary siphon bottle, what dangerous thing it really is. The siphon bottles commonly used for vichy, soda water and other efferescent drinks are generally charged with a pressure of from 130 to 150 pounds to the square inch, says the Chicago American.
 That means, in plain language, that if a bottle so charged is allowed to slip from your hands, if only for few feet, the jar is liable to cause a dangerous explosion.
 By the exercise of small amount of care in the handling of the siphon, however, it will be unnecessary to ex- clude it from the house. Many acci- dents might be averted if the fact that s1phons won't stand any sudden jar nor extraordinary exposure to heat, nor even any sudden change of tempera- ture, would only be remembered.
 Never grasp the cold bottle with the hand, as the sudden change in temper ature thus produced is even more lia- ble to cause an explosion than sudden jar.
 So dangerous are these siphons con- s1dered by the courts, if handled care- lessly, that they always hold the bot tier responsible for any damage caused by the explosion of one of them if even the smallest defect in the making of the siphon can be shown.
 Do not keep your siphons pear the range, as the heat is liable to burst them, and when not in use, the best place for them is the ice box. When empty, the siphon is, of course, harm- less.

 GIANT GOLD NUGGET FOUND.
Lump Valued at $264 Disclosed in Washing on American Hill fin
 the KIondike.

A giant nugget, worth $264, was found in the recent wash-up on Amer ican hill, Klondike.
 The reports from the north indicate exceptionally lively times on all the creeks. The cleanup of 1901 is in full swing. From all parts of the camp came reports of water running freely and claim-owners taking prompt ad- vantage of the opportunity to wash up their dirt. Summer work is also beginning. Double shifts are being put in at many places.
 Sulphur Creek reports good flow of water all along the stream, and activity at all points on the Eldorado. Hunker and Gold bottom are alive with men engaged in sluicing, and Hunker is already sending gold te Dawson. Bonanza has also sent .iI some new-crop gold, and is working al nearly all points.
 No reports are heard of scarcity of men, and some predict that there are more men in camp now than will be needed at the busiest season.
