NEW IN STREET CAR TRAVEL.
Toledo Merchants Provide Passenger
Station to Help Their Trade.

SCtpOn 10 nelp 1hO1I 4IdOcs
One of the novelties Of street railway
travel in this country is a passenger
station provided rent free by the mer-
chants of a certain street in Toledo. It
has a newsstand in it and a parcel
check room adjoining.
Through this particular street five
car lines run, and they bring to the
city on an average 5000 passengers a
day. The. merchants doing business in
the street, realizing the advantage to
themselves Of having these passengers
alight there wanted the railway com
panies to establish the station.
The companies didn't see why they
should. So the merchants have done
it for themselves.
They have rented large store fol
three years and provided it with
benches and lockers. Any citizen may
rent locker for five cents a day an6
have packages sent there, to be put il
lis box. Then when the time comes
for him to go home he can start with
his purchases without having had al
the trouble of Juggling them about will
him all day.
The experiment, though new one
has been so successful already that i
is likely to be initiated elsewhere

THE BLACKBERRY PATCH.
The blackberry patch near the garden

The blackberry patch near the garden
What marvels its depths may hold!
And far in it's jungle what strange events
Await to challenge the bold!
What cosy corners which none can see
Who chances to know them not!
And oft from the cares of the day fee
To visit the friendly spot.
And 10! when gaze at the tangled rows
Where thousand times I've been,
A queer little boy, with freckled nose,
Appears and leads me in.
Together we crawl on hands and knees
Through barbed and winding way,
And here, in the midst of the ants and bees,
To our hearts delight we play.
The nest of thesold black hen; n
The web by the monstrous spider spun;
The terrible bandits den;
The cunning retreat where Towser hides
When he wants enjoy bone;
And many a curious thing besides,
Confded to me, alone.
Have you guessed the secret? Why, don
you know?
That queer little boy is I!
And he takes me into the Long Ago,
Where the realms of Childhood lie.
We play at the wonderful make-believe
We often have played before,
Till the dawn arrives, and from morn TIL
eve
am only man once more.

A Substitute For Sleep.

A London paper says that the health
OF people in fashionable society is being
dangerously threatened by new drug
which is pcpularly regarded as a sub
stitute for sleep. Very discreetly it
declines tc name this dangerous sub
stance. When tea was first introduced
into Europe it was commended for the
same virtues, and it was believed that
it would no longer be necessary to
waste seven or eight hours in sleep.
But extended experience has shown
the disastrous results of cutting short
the period OF natural rest and keeping
awake by the help of tea, and there is
no reason to suppose that chemists will
ever be able to devise any substitute
for sleep which will not in the long
run bring nervous breakdown.

Floating Button Factory.

Taking the factory to the raw ma
terial instead of bringing the material
20 the factory. is an innovation just
put in operation on the Mississippi
liver by button factory, and 1t is a
plan that has many practical advan-
tases.
This factory is about fortytwo feet
long and twelve feet wide. fitted with
all the necessary machinery for the
manufacture of buttons, and provided
with a three ee-horse-power engine for
It's work.
The principal material used by this
factory is mussel shells. which are
found at nearly all points along the
river. and one of the great expenses
in conducting the business heretofore
has been the cost of transporting the
shells. Now the factory has reversed
the operation and will go to the mus
sells.
When bed of shells is found the
boat will drop its anchor and go to
work. When the bed is exhausted it
will move on to a new location. In
this fashion it will go from state to
state, from Minnesota to Louisiana,
passing along with the seasons. and
always enjoying the most desirable
weather of the Mississippi valley.
