Tragedy in City Street.

On one Of the late gray afternoons
there was an almost unnoticed trag-
edy in the financial district. The pig
ICONS were circling in and out of the
tall buildings. High above them a
dark spot was swooping in long, easy
curves. Suddenly it shot downward
upon a flock of the pigeons like bolt
from bow, and as it rapidly stopped
toward earth it was seen to be a hen
barrier. In its flight 1t swept under a
pigeon, cutting 1t out from the flock
and driving it upward. The pigeon
struggled to reach a refuge among
the urns that pinnacle the lofty rear
ward extension of 60 Wall street. The
hawk proved too strong in flight, soar
ed once more above its victim, stoop-
ed again and sailed away with the
pigeon, leaving no sign of the murder
except a few floating feathers and a
drop of red that spattered on the shirt
waist of a stenographer passing along
the street far below A common
enough tragedy of the air in the coun-
try, but not often seen over city roofs

CIGARS at Their Best.

BUY your cigars in quantities, put
them in a cedar box, lay the box away
in you cellar and at the end of three
or four years they + just right for
smoking" said Mr.. T. L. Marston.
"a cigar, If properly kept, improves
with age,a and at the end of four years
storage reaches the maximum of ex-
cellence. There are some curious
things, however, about eve the cost
lest kind that every connoisseur rec
ognizes. In certain localities the best
brand of Havanas acquire a bitter
taste after being laid away for a few
days. l don't know whether it is at
mospheric influence or what the cause
may be, but certain 1t is that some

with the horrors OF modern railroad.
ing in the United States. An army
larger than the Union forces at Get

The number of employees killed was

Der being killed at grade crossing or

shocking casualty list would cause a
shudder of horror If 1t occurred in a

Former Consueio Vanderbilt 10 Fono
Of Her English Home.

Former consuelo Vanderbilt 10 Fono
Of Her English Home.
The duchess of Marlborough Is un'
feignedly glad to find herself again al
Blenheim, say an English writer In
the New York Globe. 1t is there she
permits herself to enjoy to the full
the tastes which have to be smoth-
,ered or set aside in London. And
here, too, the duke finds many inter
ests which he has cherished from his
boyhood days; notably cricket. His
grace's membership in the local
cricket club Is no sinecure.
Behind the gardens at Blenheim Is
a pretty extensive menagerie contain.
ing creatures collected in many parts
of the world; and an aviary where
,gaunt ~vultures, cumbrous pelicans and
graceful cranes stalk around the cages
of the song birds and the bright-plum-
aged rarities from the tropics. The
duchess is devoted to animals. She
makes special pets Of the famous
breed of Blenheim spaniels-pretty lit
tie white and brown dogs who roam
about the house and grounds with a
certain air of assurance, as though
they knew they were one Of the
sights" of the place.
Blenheim park, although not speci-
ally beautiful, owes a great deal to
the art that has set off its natural adj
vantages. The stream has been made
the most of and a large lake formed.
Here the duchess spends most OF her
time boating or sitting in the charm
ing little teahouse ear the landing
stage. Pink is known to be her favor
lite color and the gardeners manage
that blazes of pink shall pervade the
gardens everywhere. Soon after her
marriage she planted an American
bower, which is this year in great
%splendor. 1t is a long tunnel, arched
with trellis entirely covered with
roses, %honeysuckle, clematis and
morning glory and widened at inter
walls so as to form recesses for seats.
;Vistas are cut here and there. whence
one can see the windings of the
stream, the cedar bridge" and the
somewhat m%onotonous facade of the
palace.

Umbrella watch.snatchina.

Twa tall, fair-haired British girls,
who gave their names as Fanny Sod
way and Mary Mulldoey, were arrest
ed In Paris, recently, while picking
pockets with the help Of a most ingen-
ious device attached to a parasol es-
pecially constructed for thieving.
In the handle was a spring, which
acted on a pair Of strong nippers con-
cealed in the point of the ferrule. The
girls held their parasols under their
arms, and by means of the spring
would work the rippers to cut a watch
chain. Then one of them would deity
pick the victims pocket of his watch.
After being followed by a detective
they were caught red-handed on the
terrace of the Arc de Triomphe, and
stated that they had recently come
from Northumberland Mail.

w Professions.

A scientist has gathered from sta
tlstics that the military and naval
professions most quickly wear out the
brains. Out of 100000 soldiers and
sailors 1879 were confirmed lunatics.
Next came the liberal professions, ar
lists heading the list, followed closely
by lawyers, and more distantly by doc
tors, clergymen, literary men, mad
civil servants. In 100000 about lit
of these go mad. or domestic SER
wants and laborers 1856 out of 100000
go to the asylum, and Of mechanics
only sixty-six. The sanest people, ap-
parently. are commercial men, OF
whom forty-two in 100000 go mad.

Navy Mandatory vlndleatad.

Naval ordnance officers are greatly
pleased with the report which has
come from a civilian expert en-
ployed to examine and pass upon the
conditions prevailing at the naval gun
factory at the Washington Navy Yard.
Every now and then some n at
lacks the plant as being inadequate
and improperly and extravagantly
operated. The Navy Department has
felt that 1t has been hampered In its
defence against such criticism by the
congressional suspicious that the In
formation contained in the departmens
tai reply was Or less preju-
diced in favor of the gun factory.
With the information obtained from:
an impartial source, 1t Is now pos
sible to answer the critics, to the
effect that the gun factory is economi-
cally administered: that the officers
employed there are conscientious and
efficient In the discharge of their
duties; that the civilian workmen are
the most expert Of their class; that
the product of the factory is in all re-
spects better than could be obtained
in the same time under contract. .he
report will have a value should the
Navy Department decide to recon.
mend an extension In the facilities OF
the gun factory. There Is little chance
that any such suggestion will be re-
ceived favorably in course of the
coming session Of Congress, but the
report nevertheless may serve ITO
