Looks Like Fun.

There is no hod-carrying in Japan.
The native builders have a method of
transporting mortar which makes it
seem more like play than work-to
the onlooker. The mortar is mixed in
pile in the street. One man makes
this up into balls Of about six pounds
weight, which he losses to a man
who stands on ladder midway be-
tween the roof and the ground. This
mad deftly catches the ball, and
losses it up to a man who stands on
the roof.

A Boy Who Was LOOKING.

boy contended that he was just look

THE CITY COURT.
Big Rush of Business Before His
 Honor To-day.

tOhVT io-uhy.
 As If to make up for the recent dullness in business in the city court the police were quite busy since Sat III day. Last evening raid was made on an Italian coffee and confectionery store at 252 Bank street, and Fran cesco Pennasilico was arrested for keeping a reputed gambling house, and Charles Mare, Rocco Phillips John Pico. Frank Espicito, Patrick Cicchetti. Thomas Ferraro, Paul Sum ma and James Peloci for frequent ing the place. They were defended by Attorney Guilfoile. The story of the raiders. who were Sergeant Pagan and Officers Lawlor, Madden and Hartmon, was that for some time the place has borne the reputation of being gambling house, but until quite recently they were not able to secure evidence to that effect. Of late a woman complained to them quite often that for two years her husband has not done a days work but spent all his time in this reputed gambling house. One morning she complained at half-past and anoth- CT at 3 o'clock, and she told them that her husband had told her that as long as the police did not see actual money used in the card games they could do nothing. But the other morning Officer Lawlor saw the game wind up and one man put a number of greenbacks in his pocket The clink of metal chips was an every night sound. The door was never closed. Sometimes the game would begin at or o'clock in the evening and continue to 3 and f o'clock next morning. , Last evening after the raid man called around to the place and being told of the visit of the police, remarked that it was about time something was done. After all this evidence was in MT Guilfoile moved for discharge of his clients on the ground that there was no evidence against them, but the court said there was prilna facie case for reputation, and to ac- commodate Mir Gilfoile, who had not come prepared to meet evidence of this nature the hearing was contin- ued to tomorrow morning.
 A case against Nils Rasmussen for breach of the peace was continued to Friday. It is said he knocked down woman with blow.

He was in the center of a crowd, brandishing the weapon, when Officer Madden saw him. There was chase and the fellow ran into the arms of Sergeant Pagan at Bank and Meadow streets. He was fined $15 and costs.

The Town to Bs Born In,

In the German town of Klingenberg near Aschaffenberg. Bavaria, in addi- ton to having DO rates to pay for the upkeep of the town, those actually born in the parish receive from the municipality a sum of f12 15s. year. This sum, if invested regularly at say. 3 per cent, would entitle the owner to rceive about f1.Jo0 at the age of sixty "a very handsome old age pension. Were it not necessary that the inhab- itants should prove birth in the parish before becoming entitled to this pay ment the popularity of Klingenberg as place of residence would doubtless be enermous.-Weatmingter Gazette.

sOMNAsiBULIsTIC TURTLE.

A 200-years-old tortoise walking in his sleep is the cause of the latest upheaval at the geological gardens in London. On September 1 Methuse- lah, the elephantine tortoise, aged 250, and Henry, also elephantine, but only 200 years of age, were tucked up among the hot water pipes for their six months winter doze. Me- thuselah went off at once into a dreamless slumber and has not stir red since then.
 Henry being somewhat more youthful and somewhat fractious, could not settle down at once to calm repose. He had been very popular all summer at the zoo among the visitors because he allowed himself to be looked at without scurrying off to hide like Methuselah. The attention he received perhaps affected his nerves.
 The sunshine of a few days ago was too much for him and he had an attack of somnambulism and left his warm bed, wandering of a mile or so and settling down to sleep in an- other spot When found he was re- moved to his proper place but three times since he has walked in his sleep.
 As chill might prove fatal small army of keepers is needed to get him back into bed. Then comes another warm day and Henry kicks of the bedclothes and meanders aimlessIy of again Putting Henry to bed has become the daily task of the keepers lately, and they are wondering if his pereerinstions are to be continued all winter.-London letter in New York Sun.
