THE REAL BOWERY.
Swiftly Passing, 1t Has Never Been
Wholly Revealed.

Swiftly Passing, 1t Has Never Been
Wholly Revealed.
The real Bowery has never been
written up, and probably it never will
be, because it is swiftly passing. Hun
dreds of attempts have been made by
those who have not even penetrated
the surface of it's reserve. It's heart
and soul-for the Bowery has both. as
we'll as reserve-are a sealed book to
tered with derelicts Of all worlds, drift
ing back and forth with the endless
ebb and flow of the tide, while all
about them is the ceaseless activity Of
commerce, of development, moving
onward and upward despite the cease
less cross current, which no literary
mariner, cruising in these uncharted
waters, can understand.
Those who know it best and have
some skill in writing as well as some
understanding are so overwhelmed by
its endless complications, its infinity
of contradictions, it's astonishing good
ness and it's frightful depravity, the
baH1ng mystery or It's WOnder1ul hu-
manness and it's fantastic mystery,
that they do not dare attempt to write
even what they know. Only one man
in all literature could have interpreted
the Bowery-and Balzac is dead.
Most of us know the Bowery through
fugitive newspaper sketches and fear
some lurid melOdramas. The sketches
present certain phases more or less In
diligently, but the melodramas are
weird burlesques, unworthy even of
being scoffed at, SO far as any consid-
GRAFTON Of truth is concerned. But
these cheap melodramas, endlessly re-
peated, have built up a fiction that has
come to be accepted as the reality

WEIGHT Of a Lion,

What does lion weigh? Those who
know the look of the king of beasts
best and how small his little body
really is will probably come farthest
from the truth. About 800 to $50
pounds is usual estimate, but full
grown lion will tip the scales at no
less than 500 pounds. Five hun
dred and forty pounds is the record for
an African lion. His bone is solid and
heavy as ivory. The tiger runs the
lion very close. A Bengal tiger killed
by an English officer scaled 500 pounds.
A tiger this size has, however, con-
siderably more muscular strength than
the biggest lion.

THE HUaEYMOON PARADE.
Wedding Custom In One Town When
the Train Is Late.

the Train Is Late.
A small city, which need not be To-
Gated more particularly than that it is
somewhere east of Boston, has it's own
peculiar way of speeding the newly
married on their honeymoon.
For one thing, every one goes to tho
station to see the couple depart. This
Is done in many small places. The
Showering Of rice or confetti and tho
throwing of the old shoe take place,
not at the home of the bride, but at the
station To that extent the city re-
ferred to is not unusual.
But in this city train schedules fire.
guently go awry, and when they do
the unusual happens. The wedding, OF
course, has been celebrated on time,
and the reception has taken as much
time as such things usually take. The
departure from the brides home is
made in due season to catch the train
if it is on time
The wedding guests rush to the sta.
ton, where all other inhabitants hav-
ing nothing better to do have assem-
bled already. 1t is a free show which
no one would miss.
The carriage bearing the newly mar
ried pair is drawn by white horses and
decorated with white ribbons. Custom
demands this, and no one has yet had
the temerity to do otherwise.
The carriage arrives at the station.
and it is learned that the train is so
many minutes or so many hours late.
Usually the measure is in hours.
The carriage doesn't wait It goes
parading. 1t drives around and around
a prescribed route, from every point of
which the driver can get due notice Of
the approach Of the train.
The crowd remains patiently at the
station. Other curious persons station
themselves at points along the route
Just to see the wedding coach pass.
Sometimes two or three carriages,
drawn by white horses and decorated
in white. swing steadily around this
hymeneal circuit 1t seems like an
endless procession. 1t is not unSual
for wedding pair to spend the first
five hours of their honeymoon just rid.

THE PRETzEL-.
les Simple Figure Scheme and Infinite
Possibilities of Variety.

les Simple Figure Scheme and Infinite
Possibilities of Variety.
The pretzel is one of the most re-
markable creations of the human mind
and hand 1t stands almost alone as
an artificial product displaying the
countless varieties of form produced
by nature in the leaves of trees and
blades Of grasses. OF the millions
upon millions turned out by the pretzel
bakeries since the inception of the in
dustry it is not probable that any two
were exactly alike.
The general figure scheme Of the
pretzel must have been an inspiration
1t would have been impossible for the
human mind to conceive scheme so
simple and yet permitting such APP
proach to infinite variation. Because
Of the peculiar shape of the pretzel its
construction is most easily described
by employing sailor mems terms. A
blight is taken in roll of dough, and
the ends are given a half twist and
brought back upon opposite sides of
the blight. This makes the article
somewhat heart shaped There can
have been no sentimental reason for
this shape. for there is no product of
art or nature further removed from the
realm of sentiment than is the pretzel
The finished article looks as if it had
been vanished and exposed to a sand
storm before the varnish dried
The pretZel is unique as an article of
internal use. 1t cannot be classed as
food or drink. 1t is not a dessert. nor
is it a medicine. Perhaps it should be
classed as an appetizer an appetizer
not for food. but for drink, and therein
lies its uniqueness. 1t is the great
thirst producer 1t is the third of a
Sahara done up in a twist of dough
If any one could invent something that
would quench thirst as effectively as
the pretZel can produce it his fortune
would be made,
The home Of the pretzel is Ger
many, where it is called bretzel or
pretzel, according to whether it is in
north Germany or south Germany, but
in America it is pretzel all the time,
whether in North America or South
America. The name is commonly re-
garded as being derived from words in
the Latin language meaning bracelet
But Germans are not fond of taking
words from the Latin tongues. Per-
haps the pretzel owes its name to the
fact that it il baked on a fat board
| like surface. The German word for
board is fredericksburg Post.

ABSENT TREATMENT.
BY L.NcAN N. SMITH

For measles or a broken leg,
For murnps or whooptng cough,
I do not want my doctor then
To be a few miles off,
But there are things that I nigh
name
Should you insist I can
That would take my chances with
The absent treatment plan.
My wife is worth her weight, think,
In gold without alloy.
She is, or nearly always is,
A source of constant joy,
But when she rises in her wrath
And has her little say
I'd take that absent treatment If
/ could but get away.
The bill collector comes around
And finds me duly short
And says if 1 cannot produce
He'll hale me into court.
tell him in a week I'll try
To make a payment small.
wish hereafter he would make
An absent treatment call.
A new book agent comes to town
And picks me for a mark,
A life insurance agent calls
And stays till after dark,
And there are others of the iIk
With whom I have to cope.
] wish they'd give me, one and all,
The absent treatment dope.

Chase, the second largest orange grow CTS in the Riverside district, spent sew eral days in the Salt river valley. The trip was made partially to learn what the valley needs the most in the way of experimental work. The departments at Washington are being constantly called upon from different parts of the country for experiments in many kinds of plant life. Some general idea of the scope and future of this irrigation project will be gathered by Dr. Woods in this personal inspection which will be valuable to him in departmental af- fairs.

A Reverse fin the Flood Case.

Says the Era: Word was received in Clifton last week from Tucson, an nouncing that all of the flood cases, except the Forbes case, had been dis missed from court upon the ruling of Judge Campbell, who presided over the famous case of Hoefield vs. the Detroit Copper company. This decision came as a thunderbolt to the Clifton people, who have always been confident of re. covering damages sustained in the big flood of December 3, when thousands of tons of tailings swept the business sec tion of Chase creek. It is understood that the reason for this decision was upon the grounds that the complaints were not properly drawn. The Clifton people will appeal from the decision of the Tucson court. It will be remem, bered that this decision was delayed for some time after the trial at Tucosn, which ended the latter part of Septem- Der, and had this ruling been given before the 3rd of last December, the plaintiffs would have been able to file amended complaints, but coming at this date they are barred by the stat utes of limitation.
