A Way of Making m Oood IJvlngJ. " You don't believe night watchmen grow rich In the business," said Mr. Oscar Berry, of Murray Hill, to a repre sentative of the New York Mall and Ex press. " Well, then, you are entirely mistaken, for I know of at least two members of the profession, as I call it, that own their own houses and several Others besides. "How do they make lt ? Take, for Instance, John . He resides within easy distance ot the Grand Central Depot. He has a num ber of stores and private houses to take rare of around there, but one-hundredth part of his earnings are not made in that way. "Just Imagine, If you can, the number of train men of every description that iave to be called every morning. You enow that even h"lf a minute behind time would lose them their trip, if not their job. ' Then, take car conductors and driv ers; they are precisely in the same fix. " All this is but a drop In the bucket, however, wh'in compared with the mul titude of other workingmen that have to be called on time, rs well as early-rising business men, whose reliance on their watches and clocks has cost them untold trouble in the way of fines, rebukes or dismissals. Then, again, you havej-our milkmen that have routes; your express wagon men, who have to catch trains. I'll never tell you how many of them John has on his list; but I do know that he has had enough of them for the last ten or fifteen years to enable him to build four tenement houses on Third avenue, and to own his own house on Second avenue. " Can these men afford to pay for the eervices of a watchman ? Why, cer tainly they can, for the watchman's charges are moderate. "Take my own ense. I have to be at my business at 5 o'clock sharp, winter or pmer. I have often and often got left by depending upon my watch or the clock In the house. Again, if I am up late I am liable to oversleep myself. "Not so with John, for he is on the tramp from midnight until 7 o clock next morning. Y'ou can depend on him even If your ears are stuffed, for his attack on the be'would wake the dead." " Ann his charges ?" " The small sum of 25 cents per week to one class of customers, 50 cents to another, and 75 cents to the richest. W ithin the last ten or fifteen years he has, together with two of his sons, grown rich In the business, but still sticks to It. "To meet him on his rounds In frost and snow, rain or shine, followed by a Bhaggy dog, his appearance Is such as to excite your sympathy; but if you saw him on Sunday, doing the road act be hind a fast little mure, your sympathy would be transformed Into envy. " Next to him comes Jim , who does a large express and truck business. He waits on the Murray Hill folks, and, like John, Is well off. Both have been supplied with reliable chronometers by their constituents, who can sleep as soundly as they please and have no fear of being late for business. Now you have the secret of how John and Jim grew rich. I have no doubt that there are hundreds of other watchmen throughout the city who are engaged in the same business." Againnt Itaro 1'rrjaille. Writing from tho Yellow Boa, bound for Pek n, a w ri er iu tbit ng says : "Dined with a fud-i-looded noero last night, a most agreeable, cullivat- d and In some respects, laicut d man. " As 1 cut cred his Miite of rooms on the fashio...i. io i.i ive. he ros from the piano to greet me. His dr ss Is that of a gen tleman, neither careless nor c 'nspicuous. 'I noticed ou ihe bookshelves that covered one side of t lie room t he works of I h..cydid s, Fenelon, Goethe. Taine and Koirsj, au. On the table Iay;'among others, Litlro's great dictionary und the ' Dore B.b e. He had many languages reptv.-e. ted on bis shelves, and what Is more cm Id rend them all. His French and German, at least, were excellent. " We dined at the French hotel, a German gentleman who is here for some linguistic research being tho third of the party. My host drove mo In a phaeton bohin 1 two beauties of ponies. " Now this man would have diffeulty in getting a night s lodging in a first class American hotel, and all because his color is not that of the dominant la' o." VAK1UTIES OP CARPETS. Informnt .on for the H on se keeper on the Clii'icc of Kloor Cover! The obi division of Wilton, Brussels and tapestry still holds good for main divisions, the method of construction of nil is similar a woolen face on a back of other material. In he tapestry the coloring Is all stamped on, tho addition of each color being a separate process. In the Brus sels the colors are dyed In the grain and woven in patterns. The Wilton is sim ilar to his except that the top Is cut and shaved like velvet. The Mopiettes are a later carpet and are most like tho Wiltons, but differ In construction, the woolen part being stitched on. They do not appear to be very firm but they wear well ; some of them have been iu use for llfteen years In some of our public offices. The most expensive carpet Is the Royal Administer, which runs as high as $4 to $ a yard. The epression " four or six frame" Brussels refers to the mothod of weaving ; the five and six frame are the beat; the others are cheaper and poorer in qual ity. The use of double width carpets Is coming to bo very general their advan tage Is In their needing so little sewing. Wool carpets are divided Into two and three ply ; the latter carpet Is going out, the upper surface wears out quickly and the carpet is an eyesore. The Kidderminster two-ply is a very durable carpet; its patterns are kept well abreast ot the times. Some of these are now mado three and one-half yards In width. " Kensington art squares," which are large mats of similar material with a border, go very nicely with the Kidder minster. Another popular carpeting Is the Eng lish fuldngs; these are all of one color, of course, but the effect when nicely bor dered is very nice and they lond them selves readily to the use of rugs. Tne rug business Is a trade by Itself. It began wilh a craze, but this is now over, and rugs having been once intro dc;eil they were found so useful that the trade In them is gradua ly increasing. The name of the varie ies of rug Is legion. In the Turkish and Indian I'rov-inc-s, where the rugs come from, each district ha-t Its distinctive rug, diflering In material, make or pattern from all others. Some of them take years In their con struction and their value Is in many case fabulous. One seen in one of our btoren Is valued at l.-VH). The Smyrna rug, made In Philadelphia, Is a machine made rug; it costs onl. about one-sixth of the price of a foreign one. In looks there is liitleto choose be tween i hem, but the moment the hand Is placed upon them the difference Is percdved the foreign is firm and close in texture, while the domestic rug Is shaky and loose in make. The difference in tho wearing is as marked as that In pric . S;eaking of wear, a rug lately for sale In Boston was seven :y-five years in constant use before exportation.

There Is one wife uptown who Is no longer anxious to play off jokes on her bu band to get even. She was economical, and It was the hardest thing In the world for this poor man to get a really go. d, fine, elaborate dinner at his home. So one cay ho took au idea into his head that he wou d have a decent meal for once, so he tele phoned : " I am bringing three fellows home to dinner nends from the East. Do tho thing hand-oni'!." She worked like a Trojan and got up a magnificent dinner, an 1 just as sh-; had put the finishing touches to the talde he telephoned a.aiu: "They can't come. I'm sorry you h:;d so much trouble." Ho was chuckling over this. It was too good a joke to keep, so he told a married friend, who went horn- and told his wile, who put on her bonnet t he next afternoon and went over and told the victim. Time went on, and one day this man had some friends from the East and he telephoned Ids wife to make pre, aralions. She answered cloe.tullv, and then dressed herself and went off with a mar ried fiiend. When she came home y!ie found that her husband and three fi io .ds had been there and gone down town. About 4 o'clock lu the mor..ing a man fell up against the front door, and he was put to bed as gently as if he had been perfectly sober. If the po-itions hd been rovir.-ed, the man would have got mad and tai ed the roof. But tho wl.e -well, the wife only felt that she had somehow humili ated he-" husband, and it he had run away with another woman she would have felt almo.-t a- if it served n. rlht.

His allowance from Parliament of 40,000 a year Is just what the Queen re oelv. b from her duchy of Lancaster as a little extra pocket money, in addition to her 1,000 a day.

"It was th custom In older times " said Justice Field of the I'nited States Supreme Court, " for the President be ginning with George Washington, to Visit theCap.toI in state, at the openingof thaj sessions of Congress, and there to del liver personally to the two Houees his annual message. The heads of de partments made formal calls upon each other at tho beginning of new adniistra tions and the court then began Its prac tice of visiting the President and the Mce-President. All those formalitle have since terminated, with the excep tion of the visit of the Judlclarv. "Jeffeiaon was, I believe, "the first President who did not visit the Capitol at the beginning of the sessions of Con gress to present Lis nnnual messages. Jefferson could i ot make a public address of five minutes' duration, and he deter mined to send in his me-sage In writing by a secretary. This was done, and since l is time no attempt has been made to revive the old custom. "The head of departments after ward ceased their formal calls. "By the way," said the Judge, It Is a matter of aurpr.se to me that so much has been published about leading public men of this country that is exaggerated and oftentimes absolutely untrue, " For example, there are a great manv people who believe that when Jefferson was iuaugurated President he mounted his horse at the White House, rode un attended to the Capitol, tied his steed to the fence and delivered his Inaugural address. " As a matter of Tact, Jefferson was Inaugurated lu much tho same style as his predecessors. He was driven from the White House to the Capitol, attended by music and soldlors, and delivered hi9 excellent Inaugural to au audience of goodly Ize. "The busts and photographs which we seeof Washington." continued the Judge, " are not, I think, accurate pictures of the man. " lioudin, you will remember, took a plaster cast of Washington's face and the remainder of his h-nd wns filled in according to the imagiu .tion of the sculptor. Houdln's original plaster eat of Washington Is now in the p ssession i uui laiuwui American sculptor, noi ""K " xjonaon, air. Mory.

" I told Mr. Story that he owed lt to his countrymen to make from that plas ter cast a broni! bust of Washington that should be set up in the National Museum at Washington, but I suppose that a lire or accident will happen wjine day in Story's studio and the plaster will be destroyed."

To a person who has a moderately well-supplied pocketbook and a thought ful turn of mind there can lie no more fruitful theme for meditation than lo go Into our large halls, theatres, churches and other places of public resort, nnd. securing a seat in the gallery or Iu the rear part of tho room. look nt the heads of the audience for no other purpose t han t- jisecitaia by actual count how many show signs of b ldness. I'nless the experimenter has been In the habit of counting for this object, ho wlil be s.ii pr.sed to b-ai n that, in most of the Eastern cities, full :t(l per cent, of the men more than .'10 years of age show unmistakable signs of baldness, while nearly twenty per cent, have spots on their heads that are not only bald, but actually- polished lth the gloss that is supposed to belong to extreme old age alone. I have been In the majority of the churches and theatres In all the large Eastern citlea, as well as In Chicago, St. Louis and other places of the West, and have verified my nsser.lou by actual count. From my observation I find that bald headed men are most plentiful In New Y'ork and Boston. After these come Philadelphia, Washington, and the Western towns. I say "men," for two reasons: 1. Because women usually wear their hats or bonnets on such occasions, thus cov ering their crowns. 2. In case their hats are removed the hair is combed so as to cover any possible bald spot, or els there is an artificial " switch " to hide the defects of nature. So, without indulging in any specula tions regarding what may be. I will con fine myself to w hat Is to be seen. Here are a few observations taken In Boston: Trinity Church. 243 men; 71 actually bald and 4; indications of bald ness. King's Chapel, f0 men ; 38 actu ally liald and 14 indications of baldness.

Popular Sci ence Monthly. Catching Cold. "We are still greatly atsea as regards the way common colds ; re Induced. They are caused, I believe, in a gteat many more ways than we have any idea of. The words catching a chill ' are, to me, entirely devoid of meaning. " If by a cold we mean a congested state of the mucous membranes that line the passages through which we breathe, with disciuirge of water there rom, pain In eyes and nose, tickling In the throat, tenderness and rawness of chest, with secondary symptoms in the shape of general feelings of dullness of mind and body, and aching of limbs, then I say these symptoms may be produced In many ways. " Di rect cold poured upon the head or face, as In driving against the wind, may produce them, so may the breathing of damp, cold air, or even of fumes from some melting substances, etc., that evolve irritating cases. Here you have your cold produced In a mechanical way. "A cold may be taken through the feet, or through the body, if either be insufficiently clad or wet ; "but this is not causea by the cold striking up through, or In through either, but by Its causing depression of the nervous system, and consequent congestion of the air pas sages, In those subject to such a com plaint. But cold may also be brought about by Indigestion, or derangemem ol the liver, or temporary weakness of th heart, from any cause. And as for treatment, It seems to me that the less heroic It is the better. Extra warmth, rest of the whole system, the mildest of aperients, and abstinence in diet will be found as a rule effectual and safe." A Family Doctor.

IHudv taa-ea ol Iw and Order In a Contest wit la In terest and Ljwleene.e. In 17. when the active raiding against moon-hlners commenced, there were 1,024 stllLs seized, and tw.-ntv-five officers of the government were killed or wound ed. Since then the seizures and casual ties decreased down to the commence ment of the last fiscal year. One hundred and "ninety-nine still were seized in 14 tn Georgia. North Corolina and Tennessee, the centre of the moonshine territory, the mountains where these three States meet lelng the roughest country in the world. The moonshiners areas poor as church mice, and live at the foot of the moun tains and In the mount-tins' valley. These valleys are fertile and the farms productive, corn being the principal crop. There are no railroads near and the wagon roads are rough, often only a half-be :ten track showing that a road Is Intended. These people have to means of taking their produce to the iu.irk. ts, therefore they make the most of t.eir crops which ever way they can. The most abundant crop, corn, they find the most profitable one, when converte 1 Into wldskv. They cannot afford to turn out Juice and pay the internal revem e collector the tax ot f 1 a gal on. so tbev sell it without paylt.g the tax. and onlv the march of c.vilization can efTectitallv stop It. They were always firm believers in Alexander H. Stephens, who once said : " If a man can take his corn to the mill and have It ground into a little meal without paying a tax, he 1b cleirly enti tled to turn lt tnto a little whisky with out paying a tax." The moonshiners hold that they bare a natural right to distill without paying a tax. and propose to do so, and in fact carry out their views. Many of them were loyal during the war. Before tho war 1 here was no whis ky tax; and why they should submit to t.uch a tax since the war Is beyond their reasoning. They are for all practical ' purposes banded together, for tho-ewho do not distill encourage those who do. These denizens of the mountains are the most dangerous class of law-breakers; tho-enear their base have not tho facilities for escape and resistance. In making warfare upon the former the work must be quick, decisive and accur ate, and the retreat rapid. The blow must be struck and the retreating party has to retreat with opeed. If theonicer. do not get away rapidly they are picked off by the mountain bharpshooters as they r. treat. In the attack upon any number of moonshiners gathered together there must be a surprise. It Is a rushing and exciting warfare. .The government of fleers find the greatest difficulty taking out prisoners captured, as an attempted rescue follows nearly every capture.

"Cast on the Waters and Many Iaaya. Fonnd after One mom ng when the duke ot Clar ence, before he became William IV., having receive. 1 his coniml sion and his ship, was on I Is way to his tailor's In Plymouth, to pet the new uniform, at the street corner h saw a boy crying, and etopp.yi to inquire the canse. The lad looked up throuch his tear revealing a handsome, winning and Intel ligent face, nnd replied that his mother had died only a few days before, and that he had been cast homeless Into the Streets. "Whr. where is your father?" asked the prince. "Il. was loct n the 'Sussex.' on th Cornwall coast, two rears airo." How, would you like to go to sea In ft f r-ratc man-of-w.-r?" TI e tmy's face brightened, and he an pwerod that ho would like it very well. The prince took out his pocket-look and wrote out something on a slip of paper, which he gnve to the boy with a shi'.ling. Go down to the docks," he said, "and with this shilling you will hire a boatman to carry you off to the 'Pegasus.' When you get on board the Ship you will give this paper to the officer" whom you find In charge of the deck, and he will take care of you. "Ch'-er up, my lad! Show me that you have a true heart and you shall find a true friend." Arrived on board the " regasus." the officer of the deck received him kindly, and sent him to sit upon a gun-carriage under the break of the poop. In less than an hour the prince came off in his new uniform, and the boy was strangely moved upon discovering that the man who had promised to te his friend was none other than William, the j duke of Clarence, and captain of the frigate. The boy, whoso name was Albert Doyer, was taken into the cabin, where the" prince questioned hitn and forthwith ordered him to he rated as a midship man, and from his own purse he pro cured him an outfit. During tho voynue to the American coast the prince became strongly at tached to his youthful protege, keeping him about his person c.ntir-ially, and instructing him in general i.:..nche of education, a well as in his profession. Time passed on and the b- " grew to be a man, serving king and eountrv faith fully. Iu time, William became king, and signed the commission which made Altert Dover rear admiral.
