FURNISHED FLATS TO RENT.
IlicKiit VKilution In tits Haiti Film
ltuf liii'nx In Nnw York.
A recent vtirlatloo of (he real estate
business In Now York haa bwn the
putting upon the market of furnlHhml
flats. Household furniture suitable,
for the requirement of ordinary flats
ts now abnormally cheap. The , big
Michigan concerns havo almost revo
lutionized the furniture business, and
it U poHHlble to equip a email Hat at
almost nominal coat. Some enterpris
ing Individuals, taking advantage of
this, hire from a landlord either a
wliolo house or so many of its flats ad
may be vacant, for the term of a year
or more. The house or the flats are
furnished In cheap but substantial
style, and then tenants are advertised
for with the result that It Is often
easy to secure them for furnished
apartments where unfurnished (lata
would be a drug In the real estate
market.
There Is a large Bohemian class In
New York made up In part or artist,
singers and actors, who have occa
sion to remain here for perhaps a
month or two at a time, seldom longer
and a furnished flat meets with near
ly all their requirements. Again there
are many persons who have not money
enough to furnish a flat as they would'
like, but who do not object to pay
ing an additional sum per month for
a flat already furntBhed.
Tho new system has both Its good
and bad features. Many disorderly
persons seeking the protection which,
n flat gives them, and which they could
not receive or expect either in a hotel
or in ordinary furnished rooms, pay
liberal prices for a furnished flat in
a building where no embarrassing
questions are asked and no trouble
pome regulations are established. Tho
great majority of the new furnished
flats of this order are in the central
part of town, and they yield to tho
real estate speculators a very large
profit upon the money invested In fur
niture and fixtures-.
Among the good featuros of tho
present furnlbheil flat system Is to be
put at tho head tho item of protect
ing from breakage. It is an old say
ing that three removals are as bad
ns a lire, but actually they are a great)
deal worso, for against loss by fire
there is prndually some recompense
from insurance., whereas from losses
by breakage la moving there Is none.
The damage to furniture, more es
pecially to the fragile ornaments
which are a familiar part of every
New York flat Is very great, and this
Item amounts to considerable in a
year to those of a roving or dissatis
fied spirit something not unusual
among the tenants of small flats la
this city.
A familiar figure In many of the
cheaper flats in New York is the in
stallment plan collector, who Is a fre
quent and unwelcome visitor. Persons
furnlFhlng their own flats on the In
stallment plan are haunted by the
epectaele of this callous and unsym
pathetic intruder, whereas those who
hire flats already furnished are freed
from the annoyance. In some parts of
the city where the competition for
flats is no longer active, landlords
have found It profitable to furnish their
own flats. The system of furnished
flats is a natural outgrowth of real
estate conditions In New York, and
it is claimed by real estate agents that
it pays very well. New York Sun.
Snrirlc,l tt'ft Old Mnn.
Richard ltot deposited 705 In the
Bowery Savings Bank between 1835
and 1849. Between 1S33 and 1S35,
$753.89 was withdrawn. When the
last draft was made the depositor's
book appeared to be overdrawn. $1.
There were due Hoe, at that time,
however, dividens amountlug to
$100.01, which had not been entered in
his passbook, and the bank really
owed hliu a balance of $99.01.
Tho balance went on accumulating
dividends uutil 1875, when it became
a dormant account, and ceased to draw
Interest. The amount then duo Roe
was $313.25. Efforts were made with
out suo eta to find him. He had be
come very poor, was too old and feeblo
to go to work again, and was friven
a home by his sons at Rutherford,
N. J.
Roe always intended to repay the $1
he thought he owed, but never did so.
President Townsend, of the Dowery
Savings Bank, in looking over the
books the other day canto across Roe's
account. A new search was instituted
and Roe was found at Rutherford. He
was told to tall at the bank with his
old account books. Shortly afterwards
he did so, accomcanlod by his grand
daughter, seventeen years old.
"I suppose It's about the dollar I
owe your bank that you want to see
mo," said the old man, addressing Mr.
Townsend. lie was astonished when
told the facts.
"GuesH thcHe batik people know
what's right," he said to his grand
daughter. "I never was much, on
rlthmeilc."
He pocketed the $345.25, shoolt
hands with the bank officials and re
turned homo. New York World.
"Hermit on the Riinnhlick."
A Vienna correspondent writes to
the London Standard that the famous
Peter Leshner, the "Hermit of the
Sonnbllck." whose solitary residence
of seven years at an altitude of over !
ten thousand feet in charge of the ob
servatory Instruments on that moun
tain, was described some time ago, Is
dead. He married in January, 1894,
and soon afterwards quarreled with
the Vienna Committee which supports
the Observatory, and was dismissed.
He took to tho profession of a moun
tain guide at Ruuris, but was always
In low spirits. His European notori
ety caused him to look down upon the
guides, peasants and foresters, who
were his daily companions, and he
soon camo to bo detested by all his
neighbors.

This was geuoitilly the cafe among all

LIBRARIES OF THE WORLD.
Now Ynik'n I'nalllnn Shoulil Ilia I'rnpnat
C'unmtllilulliin lln l rt rtnl,
It has been assumed by some per
sons that tho proposed consolidation
of i ho Astor and Lenox libraries with
the Tllden Library would arsuro to
New York a library larger than that
po:i!vsod by any other city. This Is
iv nil.stnk. The Astor Library, Incor
porated in 1849, has 250,090 volumes;
tho Ienox Library, incorporated In
1870, has 70,000 volumes, and the be
quest of Mr. Tllden, It Is computed,
would permit the purchase of 200,000
volumes without duplicating the booka
in the possession of either the Astor
or the Lenox Library. This would
bring tho total of books In the throne
Institution? to 520,000. But the Parla
Library, which, in respect of the num
ber of volumes, stands at the head ot
all others, has now 2,100.000 booka
The Imperial Library In St. Peters
burg has 1,000.000 and the Munich LU
bniry has glO.000. The Royal Library
in Berlin has 800,000 and the Dresden
Library 525,000, so that New York, un
der the proposed consolidation, would
rank seventh as compared with Eu
ropean cities.
At the present time New York does
not rank high for libraries, even,
among the cities of the United States.
Tho Boston Public Library, started by,
the benefactions of Joshua Bates, a
Boston banker, who lived in London,
and aided afterward by George Pea
body, has 597,000 books. Mr. Bates'
contribution was $50,000, and the cost
of the land and building of the Boston
Library Library was $305,000. The
Chicago University has a library of
380,000 volumes. The Newberry Li
brary, on the north side near Lincoln
Park, has 175.000 volumes. Both are
exceeded by the Congressional Library
In Washington, established In 1802. It
contains 395,000 volumes and 150,000
pamphlets, and the present rate of In
crease is 15,000 volumes and 0,000
pamphlets a year. One of the boasts
of tho conductors of this library, rich
er than any other in American books
and books on American subjects, la
that it is one of the very few fire
proof libraries in the world.
Following New York, should the
proposed consolidation be effected,
among the libraries of Europe would
come the Royal Vienna Library, 450,
io volumes; Copenhagen Library, 4U0,
(iOO. library of the Vatican in Rome.,
350.000, and the library of Oxford Uni
versity 300,000, besides many valuable
manuscripts. Tho Importance and
utility of a library Is not, of course, to
be gauged wholly by the number ot
books on its shelves. A well-assorted
and Judiciously mado collection of
200,000 may be of much greater value
than a collection of 2,100,444 Indis
criminately chosen. In Europe much,
importance Is attached to various edi
tions cf a standard work, whereas in
tho United States editions count for
little; It is the book Itself which is re
garded. Now York may not stand as high
as some foreign cities in respect to the
total number of books In any one li
brary, but, on the other hand, the op
portunities for general reading are
very widely diffused. The Mercantile
Library has 240.000 books, the New
York Historical Library 100.000, the
New ork Society Library 90.000, the
Columbia Collge Library 100,000, the
Malmonides Library 40,000, the Cooper
Union Library 35.000, the Young Men's
Christian Association 42,000, and the
oung Men's Christian Association 42,
000, and the Mechanics' and Trades
men's Library 95,000.
There are In all the libraries of the
world exclusive of private libraries
and bock store collections 40.000,000
volumes. In 1815, exactly half a cen
tury ago, the numbir of volumes in all
tho public libraries cf the world was
20,000.000, so that In the last half cen
tury tho number of books may be said
to havo doubled. This Increase Is In
grout measure due to Ihe remarkable
cheapening. In the ensr of bookmaklng.
Ii;tltlri!f:illy this cheapening has serv
ed to retard the growth of circulating
libraries, for when a novel which costs
$1.25 can now be purchased for twenty,
five cents, the incentive to subscribe
to a circulating library Is much re
duced. New York Sun.
Mrs. (irvelnjr'a IllKrlpllur.
"Whllo I have tho floor," said Amos
Cummings, whllo in a story-telling
mood tho other day, "I might as well
tell a story about Horace Greeley. I
worked whh Greeley for years. He
always called me 'Asa,' never could
remember 'Amos.' One day I went out
to see Greeley at Chappaqua about
soiuo , newspaper business. The old
gentleman saw me coming as he
stood looking out of tho window, and
opened tho door himself.
" 'Como in here, Asa,' ho said, in his
high, meuly tones, as he led me Into
a fashion of parlor.
"I followed him Into the room, and
as I was going to remain only a mo
ment laid my hat, gloves and cane
on a centre table. Greeley nnd I had
just Immersed ourselves In a talk
when Mrs. Greeley swept into the room
Now, Mrs. Greeley was what one might
call a spirited woman. The moment
she entered the door her eyes fell in
dignantly on my trousseau as I'd piled
it up hat, gloves and stick on the
table. Without a word, and before I
could speak to her, she wooped on the
outfit like a hawk, and the next mo
ment threw them out of the window.
"Then she loft the room, without
pausing for speech, as one who had
taught somebody that the hall waa
the place for hats and canes and sim
ilar bric-a-brac. I was inclined to
got a trifle hot; a man naturally might
who sees his hat pounced upon and
cast Into the shrubbery. But before
I could get up or say a word Groeloy
stretched out his hand In a deprecatory,
way and cheered me with the remark.
" 'Never mind her, Asa; she thought
they were mine,'
"Afterward, however," concluded
Cummings, "when I recalled what
Groeley's hat used to look like I had
my doubts."

MAN'S NERVE.
Many Not Trained for Wr HttTe Lota Of
Cool Couraica.
Miss Clara Barton, the famous army,
nurse and director of the Red Cross
Society, sold the other day: "I Lave
often wondered where the cool cour
age of men comes from; where common
ordinary men, trained to do nothing
llko war, get their nerve; where stran
gers to firearms, strangers to foeA,
strangers to everything warlike, find
the courage to face death as bravely
as soldiers did during the war. There
were mon. perhaps no more cowardly
than others, who from sensitiveness
of temperament, suffered more. I do
not think mere brute daring Is the
highest sort of courage, but one who
had the experience that I did among
soldiers would readily recognize that
there is a great deal more moral force
In courage than physical."
i I asked Miss Barton If she ever
knew a soldier during the war to die
of homesickness.
"That Is a question by Itself," she
replied. "Homesickness, or nostalgia,
is a most Important factor in the treat-
ment of the sick In hospitals. While
I of itself It may not be quite sufficient
to kill, It no doubt complicates other
conditions. When a soldier, or any
person, gets homesick, it destroys the
natural Inclinations and functions,
and it may destroy the appetite. Even
' an animal may be so homesick that
1 It will not and cannot eat. Thus the
j foundation Is laid for other diseases.
; Something else sets in and produce
I a permanent or fatal illness. Now,
i homesickness is the cause of that. A,
soldier may be attacked with some
thing else without realizing that he la
homesick at all. He Is all right when
he is running around with the boys
but If he takes . cold and gets sick or
some disease attacks him and he finds
himself down he begins to think of
home, and then nostalgia follows. It
either produces Illness or aggravates
it. Now, the one important remedy
for such Illness Is to send that soldier
home. I cannot say that I ever saw
a soldier die of nostalgia, but the rwv
son that I didn't wits that wherever I
discovered that disease was likely to
work mischief I urged all the power
I had upon every authority I could
reach to furlough the patient. When,
a man Is extremely homesick he has
no desire to live and then no mattwr
how skilled tho surgeon he eunnot save
him. It ts Impossible." Chicago Rec
ord. An Idpnlpnt Lawyer.
A lawyer with his client called one
day at the office of a gontlman who Is
considered to be one of the loading mon
of the Philadelphia bar. The lawyer
had an important case and he wanted
to take the legal big gun In as advisor.
He explained his business and said
he and the client would be back in the
afternoon. "I won't be here then,"
said the legal giant. "I have an en
gagement at 3 o'clock and I won't be
here after that hour." "But there Is
a $5,000 fee in this for you," explained
the younger lawyer. "Can't help It;
I won't be here. You will have to
come to-morrow."
"But my client can't come to-morrow."
"Well, I can't break my engage
ment." said the senior. After some
further talk it was agreed that a meet-
; ing be held that night. That after
j noon, having nothing else to do the
young lawyer ana his client went to a
ball game. The first man they saw
Inside the grounds was the great
lawyer, who was hurrahing for the
"Phillies" with all the vigor of his
lungs.. That was his important en
gagement. Needless to say the law
yer's practico nets him enough money
each year to make him independent.-

Tunable Writing 1'lld.
A portable writing-pad th"at will
prove a never-failing source of delight
to the fair summer traveller has for a
foundation a piece of stiff pasteboard
made to tit the top of an ordinary ta

green felt, with pendant ends pinked
around tho edge, and to each end is
rtltched a cross-piece of felt divided
into sections, serving as receptacles for
the disposition of writing paper and
unanswered letters. To the pad prop
er strips of felt of varying sizes for
the reception of envelopes, postal
cards and all the essentials of ordi

small brass-hen dod tacks; while for
securing the blotting-pad four three
cornered pieces of felt are nailed at
the right distance apart. For the sale

Tha Lake or lllnod.
Every polar expedition and whaling
vessel which visits the Baffin Bay re
gion puts in at Yaureke Bank, so as
to allow explorers and seamen to visit
the celebrated Lake of Blood, Of it
the author of "My Summer In the
North" says: "It Is a lake of consider,
able extent, lying only a few feet
above the level of the sea, and appears
of a deep dark blood red. Care
ful examination proved, however, that
the water itself was as pure and clear
as possible; the red effect being due
to the fact that the bottom and sides
of the lake, as well as the tew stones
which wore scattered about In It, were
coated most perfectly with, the red
snow plant. In some places, where
the water had evaporated, the wither
ed red plants on the soil and rocks
looked exactly like dried spots of
blood."
An Actor's MUtaka.
An amusing story was told some
years ago of E. A. Sothern, a famous
wit and actor. Upon a certain even
i ing he was invited to two entertain
ments, one for children, and the other
a reception for grown people. Fond
of children, Sothern decided to go to
the party given for the little ones, and
thinking It would be a great Joke to go
Into the parlor on all fours and roar
ing like a boar, he did so, much to the
amusement of the guests, and his own
subsequent unhapploess, for once in

Thoro are several pretty creature
who live In the water, and are classed
as "fishes," yet who do not look like
the fishes wo usually know. One of
tho most common and familiar of them
is the starfish.
There are several kinds of starfish,
some of them being very beautiful,
with long, feathery arms. The com
mon starfish, which you have doubt
less seen. Is a five-pointed creature,
his shape, of course, giving him his
name. These fishes are soft and flabby
while living, but when dead and dried
they present a brittle and shell-like
appearance. They vary in .le, from
tiny creatures an' Inch across to
twelve and fourteen Inches In size, or
perhaps much larger, but this size la
that ordinarily found on near-bj(
coasts.
The starfish manages to walk along
the land by the aid of numbers of tiny
feet on the under part of Its body. It
not only walks easily, but Is said to
stand up occasionally on one ot Its
points and survey the scenery, but M
we have never seen a starfish do thai
we cannot vouch for the fact.
Starfish, so naturalists tell us, lira
upon mollusks, and are specially fond
of oysters. But when the oyster de
clines to come out of his shell, in of
der to provide a dinner for Mr. Star
fish, that gentleman has a way of tak
ing him whether the oyster wishes to
come or not. Our naturalist says:
The starfish lays himself' down on
his victim, and, folding his five arms
about it, holds it firmly in place. Then
he gradually pushes his stomach out
through his mouth, and wraps It
around the unfortunate oystsr. Whe
ther some fluid of the stomach fore as
the shell open Is not known. But the
result Is the securing of a dinner for
the starfish, and the death of the oys
ter." One of the peculiarities of the
the starfish is that a new arm grows
whenever one Is destroyed. Even if
half the fish bo destroyed, the missing
part will be replaced, as good as ever.
