Street Milking.

One sees all sorts of odd sights in the
streets of Spanish cities-odd, that is,
to American eyes. One of these is the
spectacle of herds of goats being driv-
en- through the streets and MIXED at
the consumers door; not that this sight
is peculiar to Spain-one sees it in Italy
and other parts of Europe.
For that matter, the milking of cows
in the presence of the consumer is also
common in southern Europe. 1t is not
half a bad idea. In American cities |
fear that 1t is an exception to get pure
milk Even when it is not adulterated
with poisonous agents based on sali-
cylic or boric acids milk is frequently
stretched with water and not clean
water at that. Probably a large per-
centage of the many cases Of typhoid
fever comes from the filthy water
which milkmen mix with milk.
In southern Europe such methods of
carrying disease by water borne sew
age may be rendered impracticable, at
least in the matter Of milk.

Queer Way to XIII Fish.

Natives of the Torres strait have an
original method of killing fish. In
places where turtles and large fish are
wont to congregate they erect plat
forms, and as soon as a great turtle or
fish appears the man on the nearest
platform throws a harpoon and almost
Invariably strikes the animal After
this is done one of the other men jumps
from his platform with n rope, which
he fastens around the tail of the cap
tured fish. One end Of this rope re-
mains ded to platform, and thus the
fish or turtle is soon safely secured. 1t
is likely, however, to plunge about a
good deal, and therefore those men
who are within reach of the rope are
obliged to take care that it does not
trip them up with it.

CHOICE MISCELLANY


"It is well known" said Il nurse in
an uptown sanitarium, that women
addicted to morphine will resort to all
sorts of tricks to hide the drug for use
when they know it will be kept from
them. | am wise as they say, on all
the violent bonbons, bouquets, choco-
late drops and similar resources of
that description in which morphine is
secreted. But the other day | was as
signed to the care of a patient who
beat me. Her supply of morphine was
gradually reduced until the second day
of treatment and then cut off altogeth-
er Still the patient continued to get
morphine. There was no doubt about
that Not only myself, but every nurse
and employee in the house, was under
suspicion. The patient was woman
with beautiful and bountiful supply
of hair. Her husband, who visited her
twice day, was virtually accused of
bringing her the drug, and he was nat
urally indignant
"'What do you suppose | am paying
good money for cure forY he asked.
The fourth day the doctor in attend
ance stood for a long time over the pa
tient, who was drowsy with morphine.
Suddenly he put his arms around her
and lifted her to a sitting posture.
NOW he said we are going to
comb your hair, and perhaps you will
feel refreshed
"The patient fought like wildcat,
and the secret was out. She had enough
morphine hidden in her hair to last her
six weeks If we had not found it out"

BARNUM & BAILEY.



Thousands of circus-loving people will
undoubtedly take advantage Of the op-
portunity to visit the famous Barnum &
Bailey circus, which exhibits at Wilkes
barre on Tuesday, May 26. This is the
only place in this vicinity where the big
show may be seen during the present
season, and special cheap excursion
tickets will be sold on all railroads aud
other lines OF travel. The homecoming
OF the Greatest Show on Earth, after a
five years triumphal tour of Europe,
has been signalzed by the organizat lou
OF the most novel and gigantic circus
entertertanment ever seen in America.

fore presented in this country. Cy clio,
the Kinetic Demon, creates brea h ess
excitement by his darii e bicycle ride
on the inside of mammoth perpen-
dicular circle; the hippodrome presents
the race of the old Rome with an ex-
hilarating "go" that excites boundless
enthusiasm, and human 'curiosities'
from all parts of the world, with a re-
markable display Of miniature American
warships, combine with an unequalled
geological display to interest and in
struct the shows thousands of daily
visitors.
The free street parade, which is
brilliant beyond all precedent this year,
takes place at 10 a. m, prior to the

tions that make a visit to the Greatest

the editor asked a long and very in

to it with the same attention as he had

Bacon In His steamer Trunk.

What do you think of shipping a
couple of sides of bacon to Germany
in steamer trunk?" asked a grocer.
"A customer whose people live in the
fatherland came in here the other day
and bought two sides of meat and gave
us particular orders to have them care
them in his steamer trunk. He said
his old folks liked American bacon and
that he always took over couple of
sides as present to his people, who
live in one of the villages just back of

The old fable that the work of the
circus and music hall artists is paid
for by starvation wages holds good
no longer, as may be seen by the fol-
lowing statistics recently collected:
The monthly earnings of lady circus
rider vary from f75 to f10O while
those of the haut ecole often earn ESQ.
A clowns earnings average from f35
and f40 to E75 and E100. No perform
er on the tight rope works" for less
than from ESQ to f75 month. En-
gagements of this sort, il seems, are
always made and wages paid by the
month. Carpet acrobats earn from f100
to f110. Even second rate performers
on the horizontal bar receive E125 to
ESQ, while masters of the art earn as
much as $3.50, and jugglers on the tight
rope or on horseback are the best paid
of all earning often as much as 1900
month. Unfortunately the majority
of these artists spend their money far
more rapidly than they acquire their
by no means easy art.-Westminster

Blaine Did Not Care For Balm.

A disappointed man, yet James G..
Blaine as secretary of state was not
without friends or consolation, says
the Macon Telegraph. A delegation
calling on him some years ago men
toned the fact that in the country's
history six secretaries of state had
been advanced to the presidency by an
appreciative people. Blaine was re-
minded by the callers of his eXtraor-
dinary ability and not hopeless fu-
ture. The Office of secretary of state
is stepping stone to the presidency"
said member of the delegation de-
cisively.
"Perhaps," said Mr. Blaine, but if
you gentlemen soft soap that stone { )
you have me it will prove slipping
stone into oblivion"

NEW SHORT STORIES


Climax of Reeds Fight For Rules.
A story is being told in Washington,
says the New York World, showing the
strong emotion felt by Thomas B.
Reed at the close of the memorable
two years during which he had sue
ceeded in establishing his famous rules.
Few in the gaping crowds that
watched Reed from the galleries dur
ing the memorable battle for reform of
procedure in the house regarded him
other than as man possessing feel
ings Injured to the terrific blows dealt
him by his antagonists. They saw him
parry thrusts so skillfully that it
seemed they had no time to leave
sting. much less intlict deep wounds.
Yet if they had followed him out of
the house on the last day of the short
session, when he had quilted his seat
without the customary vote of thanks,
they would have observed that his
friends who crowded forward received
no sign of recognition. Straight across
the lobby he hurried, plunged into the
speakers room and slammed the door
with its spring lock.
1t is said by his friends that had the
door been opened an instant later they
would have seen the heavy frame,
shaking with emotion which could no
longer be controlled, sink into seat by
the table in the center of the room.
There with his hands clasped over his
face, Speaker Reed gave way to
paroXySm of sobs.
