J. H. AmieS Makes This State.
ment Before Street and
Sewer Directors

In statement before the members
OF the street and Sewer Comm. .sslon to-
day j. II. Amies. OF Philadelphia. who
Is connected with the firm which man
ufactures the Annie. asphalt macadam.
asphalt pavement such as recently laid
in Market street can be put down at
cost Of about SLY square yard. He
said the binder coat under the present
cost of cement could be laid for about
45 cents while the street asphalt. or
the top ctyering could be put down for
.72 cents.
The board some time ago gave a
contract to the Filbert Paving and
CONSTRUCTION Company for asphalt paw
ing at approximately $50 a square
yard. When Commissioner Gray heard
Mr.. Amies statement he laughed and
remarked: Il wonder how much these
fellows got from us"
The discussion was brought up by
Mr.. Amies when he presented a bill
FOR Sl91.S8 for 32S square yards Of
lpaying at the intersection OF Pennsyl
!vania avenue and Franklin street. The
bin originally was for S275.70 or 1887
lcents a square yard. but Mr.. Amies had
lagreed. however. to do 100 yards Of
the paving free.
He SAID that while the cost OF the
Ipaving al Pennsylvania avenue and
Franklin street was .S3S7 cents. he was
lconndent that under favorable condi-
ltions he could lay a pavement for as
low as G5 cents The board. however
because OF the low condition Of the de-
lpartments finances. could give him no
further work at this time.
The paveemnt IN Thirteenth street
between Market and King streets was
laid with the Amies material and while
lat first It gave little satisfaction be-
cause of its tendency to bleed, is now
considered by the department to be one
lof the best laid pavements in the city
Mr. Amies' bill was allowed. subject
Ito the approval of the city'auditor.

tra work done on streets improved

that the ny should not give this righ
absolutely away and the matter will

The M.rech.l Mel Rose.

There is pretty little history in con-
nection with the naming of the fash
ionable Marechal Mel rose, which, as
generally known, is named after the
famous general of the Franco-Austrian
war. "When Mel was returning from
the scene Of his victories in war;"
writes an eminent florist, zone Of the
peasant women along the line Of march
presented him with beautiful basket
Of yellow roses. One of these flowers
still had its roots clinging to it, and on
his arrival in Paris Mel planted the
flower in his garden. The rose thrived
and finally grew to bush covered
with blossoms. The general then pre-
sented the plant as a gift to Empress
Eugene. She was delighted with the
beauty and fragrance Of the flower
and, on learning that the rose had no
name, said significantly: Then will
give it one. l christen it the Marechal
Niel,' and at the same time she be-
slowed upon the amazed general the
jeweled emblem that betokened his
promotion to the exalted Office of mar
shal of France"

schiller,s Revenge.

When Schiller was a boy at school he
was tormented by Swiss tutor named
Kuplig, who came from the Grisons can
ton. Years later, when the poet wrote
1.-The Robbers" he revenged himself
on Kuplig and the Grisons by intro
ducing this little speech: ITO be q
scamp you must have genius. More
over, a special climate Is needed for
the growth Of scamps. and to prove
this I recommend you to visit the Gri-
sons canton. 1t is the veritable Athens
Of modern rascality." In the later edi-
tons of 1.-THE Robbers" this quaint bit
Of spleen does not appear. 1t is sug-
gested that Schiller was not moved to
expunge it by any remorseful feeling,
but by very forcible protest from the
residents of the abused canton against
this calumny.

Musical Comedy.

the name of "opera," an entertainment
called 1.-THE Cruelty Of Spaniards In

theater on that day. According to no.
tees Of the time it was expressed by
vocal and instrumental music and by
the art Of perspective in scenery" The
production also marks the first use Of
scenery on the stage, and its develop

Forced Liber.litv.

It Is not often miserliness gets such
straightforward rebuke as In the
case quoted by the Montclair Times.
In the early days of primitive Method
ism there Travelled in England an &C.
centric minister named Neale, who was
famous for his plain talking. On one
occasion he was preaching missionary
sermons at village so noted for it's
small collections that he determined
to pass the plate himself.
On his round he came to farmer
who was, as Mr.. Neale we'll knew, tho
richest man in the place. This individ-
ual placed a penny on the plate. Mr..
Neale stopped Immediately and said in
q loud voice:
'"Take your penny out. man. take it
out! Don't you see you've covered up
your laborer's sixpence?"
The rebuke was enectual, and a
much more valuable coin was placed
on the plate.

Rocks and Potatoes.

The we'll known intelligence of rocks
10 curiously Illustrated by their use Of
potatoes. A clergyman in north Wales
noticed that twice in the. course Of
the year the ground beneath rookery
was strewn with small potatoes. This
happened in the breeding season and
also in the autumn, before the winter
storms begin, when the birds reassem-
BILE to carry out repairs necessary
against rough weather. The potatoes
were all about the same size, but the
observer was at loss to discover their
use to the rocks. An old parishioner
supplied him with this explanation:
The rocks employ the tubers for meas
uring the inside of their nests to salts
~ themselves that the dimensions are
correct for the accommodation of their
eggs. The potatoes when measured
agreed very closely with the size of an
average rocks egg.-London Standard.

HENRY HUDSON.


Oofn Ne 0ae ,160OWs WA0e0 ana Died
Ne One kasWs Row.
Hudson must have been at least forty
when he died. but nothing 10 known Of
his life before the last four years Of It.
A certain Henry Herdson. or Hudson,
alderman Of London and one Of the
founders Of the Muscovy company, has
been suggested as his grandfather, and
the relationship is the more likely be-
cause it is certain that some Of his
name and kin were interested in the
company. 1t may have been upon their
recommendation that he was first ap-
pointed to the command Of ship in
the company's service in 1907. OF his
early training and previous voyages
nothing is known. The beginning of his
history is as mysterious as its end. He
was born no one knows where, and he
died no one knows how. He comes into
our knowledge on the quarter deck Of a
ship bound for the pole; he goes out Of
It in a crazy boat manned by eight sick
men. and SO fades away into the dim
haze that hangs about the desolate ice
does.
The four voyages of Hudson of which
we have record were not directed to
absolutely unknown waters, but the
observations made by his precursors
were so Enthusiastically that they were
Of little service except to mislead him.
The object Of his first voyage in the
service Of the Muscovy company was
ITO discover the pole and to sail across
It to the islands of Spicey or Cathay,"
and on April 10, 1907, he, with John
Hudson, his son, sixteen years old, and
the ten men who made up the crew Of
the Hopeful, took the sacrament to-
gether at st. Ethelburga's. in Bishops
gate, "purposing to go to sea four
days after" In the following year
Hudson sailed again, still in the serv-
ice Of the company. They reached the
Lofoden isles in month and rounded
the North cape on June /. A fortnight
later they encountered one Of those
wonders Of the deep which the seamen
Of that time were so often privileged
to witness and describe on June Is.
O0O Va VOA company AVOAAu6 VSSEe
board, saw a mermaid. Calling up
some Of the company to see her, one
more came up. and by that time she
was close to the ships side. looking
earnestly ON the men. A little after
q sea came up and overturned her.
From the navel upward her back and
breasts were like a woman (as they
say that saw herr; her body was as big
as one Of US; her skin very white, and
long hair hanging down behind, Of
color, black. In her going down they
saw her tail, which was like the tail
Of porpoise and speckled like mack
erel Their names that saw her were
Thomas Hilles and Robert Rayner."
The only really incredible part of the
story is that no more than two men
thought it worth while to go on deck
to look at her.-W. J. Fletcher in Mac
millan's Magazine.

ODD CELEBRATIONS.
a Di..er to which Osly Tilted Felix
Are lnylted.

Diaaer to witch Osly Tilted Folks
Are lavlted.
Among the eccentricities Of human
oature the celebrating Of queer ami
versaries is perhaps as little noticed as
any. Almost everybody makes merry
over an anniversary Of some sort, and
many of them are anniversaries that
would seem to call for anything rather
than merriment.
A caustic sense of humor prompted
q Chicago man to give on the anntver>
sary of his mother-in-law's death a
dinner at a fashionable restaurant to
which were invited such of his friends
as he considered were CALLED by the
yoke under which he formerly groan-
ed. For time he kept this celebra-
ton secret, but on its coming to the
ears Of his wife through the trcachery
Of one of his guests that lady prompt
" imposed an indignant veto. Those
dinners were stopped suddenly and ef-
fectually.
Far otherwise the spirit that sug-
gests the convivial gathering held by
worthy tradesman in Boston on May
@ Of every year. On that day many
years since he met with severe acct
dent, which, though 1t crippled him
for life, was the means Of introducing
him to the LIES partner who has
proved for years as devoted wife as
for weeks she was nurse.
Another instance Of the commemora-
ton of the date Of an accident is at
forded by lawyer who, having in his
youth fallen among bad ways and
companions, was only rescued there.
from by being flung from a wagon
and sustaining q broken leg and con-
cussion of the brain. During the long
convalescence that followed the great
ness of his errors dawned upon him.
30 that on his complete recovery he
commenced a new life. On the ami.
versary of his spill he always enter
tains such relatives who care to accept
the invitation.
To celebrate the loss of small for
tune that he had inherited from his
father a certain merchant holds an
nually high festival. Deprived Of that
fatal competence so inducive to slOth,
he found himself while still youth
thrown upon his own resources. These
did not fail him, and now, instead Of
leading an idle and selfish life on linn
tied means, as but for his loss he
would be doing, he finds himself among
the most opulent and respected citi-
Gems of his native town.
Many years back Brooklyn lady
was thrown over by man to whom
she was engaged who subsequently
took to drink and other evil courses that
finally landed him in Jail. To mark
her sense of gratitude for her provi-
Dental escape she on the anniversary
Of the day when she first learned that
he had broken troth gives dinner to
which only those she knows have been
Tilted are eligible as guests.
1.-THE happiest and proudest day of
my life was that ON which I first
wore a tail coat" used to declare a
substantial down east merchant, "and
always keep up the anniversary by

good evening. June 30 is a red letter

Butter In slices.

From time immemorial in Cambridge
England, the dairymen roll the butter
so as to form a long stick weighing
q pound, which they sell in slices, as II
It were sausage. In the market the
butter merchants do not need to use
either weights or scales. A simple
glance is sufficient for these people
accustomed to the time honored prac-
hce. A very neat cut with the knife
divides the yard into halves, quarters
or eighths very exactly, and 1t appears
that the customer is never given short
measure.

THE WEEKS RISE
IN SILVER MARKET

The only reason that Eastern markets
have to give for the unusual advance in
silver during the past week is to the eff
feet that China Is in the market for
some more of the white metal and that
as soon as the present demand is salts
fed that the presumption is that both
copper and silver will be in strong de-
mand from the Oriental countries.
whatever the reason may be it is GER
tainIy gratifying to the mining industry
of the western country that assurances
from the eastern markets indicate that
there will be better prices prevailing at
the close of the year. This increase in
the price of silver will insure the open
ing up Of a great many OF the mineral
belts of the west. where the grade of ore
has hitherto been considered too low to
admit of being mined since the price
OF the white metal was reduced.
