eEGGAR TAUGHT A LESSON.
What Happened to an AbIe-bodied
Tramp Who Asked Aims.

A beggar approached a husky young
man at Broadway and Wall street,
and, exhibiting three cents In a grimy
hand, told a piteous tale OF job
near 116th street, and cents lacking
to pay the fare.
Sure" said the young man. Hard
luck, isn't 1t? Haven't the change,
but drop aboard the car and III pay
the conductor It's good for Hundred
and 'steenth street and more, and the
jobs yours"
The tramp suppressed his disgust
as best be could, and the athletic chap
hustled him in the car with laugh
and slap on the shoulder.
At Liberty street the "panhandler"
made for the door; and there met
the husky young man, who plaNully
pushed him back and said: 1T isn't
Hundred and 'steenth street yet. Don't
you be anxious, for I'm going all the
way myself"
At Canal street the beggar appealed
to the conductor. Get of If you
want" said the conductor, who had
been taken into the secret, "but I'm
thinking you're better of on, and
that's no joke. Look at the fists on
the man."
At Houston street the applicant for
aims sneaked for the front door, but
the tmportunate man. too, was ION, !"
and threatened him demolition. So
he planned a strategic movement. in
the execution of which he worked his
way, seat by seat, to the door.
At Sixteenth street, where the car
stopped for transfers to and from the
crosstown lines, he saw his chance,
and took 1t. The conductor was busy
letting 'em off first, please, the young
man was gazing at the sky, whistling
a soft air. So the beggar slipped to
the platform and reached the step.
There a ponderous woman, bound to
be first. to board the car, halted him
for moment. =
1t was fatal. The young mans
hand fell @on- his shoulder, and the
young mans voice shouted "Wow!"
in his ear. The shout and surprise
gave him an impetus that carried him
to the sidewalk in a bound, regardless
Of all in his way. At full speed he
galloped across the lawns and crocus
beds Of Union Square. Without
breaking his stride he hurdled over
line of benches, and as he landed
on the walk an ever-ready policeman
fell on him with his club.
When the car went on again, with
the indignant, ponderous woman be-
rating the conductor, the husky young
man saw his sorely battered charge
disappear In the grasp Of the law,
whereupon the seeker after innocent
diversion smiled as he reflected on the
amusement to be had for five cents

THE PApER.cLeD MAN.
German Inventor Offers a Novel Reform

| German Inventor Offers a Novel Reform
in Dress.
Philosophy must needs pause in gen-
tie contemplation of this latest news
from Germany. The Paper-Clad Man
is on the way, and he who is Of an ear
nest and rec 'ptive nature and we'll
grounded in philosophy will await the
issue with a serene mind, believing
that all things are for good, and that
humanity is, as Mr.. Carnegie has OBJ
served, tending toward higher ground.
1t seems that some German genius
has discovered way Of making paper
clothes. No more shall man be slave
to the cocoon Of the silk worm, or the
wool which grows upon the sleeps
back. In pulp he shall have found
friend in need, and one tosbe depended
upon in fine weather or foul. No more
shall he be clothed in purple or fine
linen. but in the product of the paper
mills shall he meet the demands OF
leceney and comfort. It is very inter.
csting news There is so much oppor-
tunity in paper.
The minds eye can see the man OF
the future entering q shop and asking
for new suit of paper clothes. In
a trice his measure will be taken. The
wheels will turn; the mucilage, paste,
pins, string, or whatever Is to hold the
various parts Of his garment together
will be cunningly applied, and present
ly he will sally forth arrayed IN chaste
white or black, or in gay colors, re-
sembling those Of the Sunday comics"
In the happy days to come a man
need never wear the same rainlent
twice, for the paper clothing must, OF
course, be inexpensive. In the sum:
mer time he will find need of fabrics
so like gassamer that dozen suits
will scarcely fill one side Of his port
folio. and bathing suit will weigh
the fractional portion Of an ounce. In
winter clothing light but 1mperVious
to the weather will be supplied. Many
of us know by experience how much
warmth there is in an old newspaper
worn between the upper and the neither
coat. In fact, it seems as II the Ger
man inventor had struck the long-felt
want. If he has, the phrase, made IN

American Snakes.

s. Out of the one hundred and sixty
odd species Of serpents in America
north of Mexico, only about twenty
are venomous; the others are about as
harmless as so many kittens, and may
be handled with impunity. Last year
I caught with my bare hands several
large blacksnakes, a number Of garter
snakes, three milk snakes, two green
snakes, or grass snakes, two water
snakes and several others, and al
though some of them bit me, the ef-
fects were of less consequence than
as many bramble scratches.
An irritable serpent, but perfectly
harmless one, is the water snake,
which will usually be found in or near
the water, perhaps swimming among
the stems of the pickerel weeds, in
pursuit of frogs, or possibly coiled
up on the bank. This snake will bite,
and bite hard, but it is not venomous
in the least. 1t does not lay eggs, but
brings forth it's young alive. Last
September I caught fine specimen,

and four o'clock she had nineteen lit.
