The professional tinder is a feature
of New York city not found elsewhe re.
'I he itt -t successful man following this
profession is described by the Journal
as a well-known but silent figure
around tin cafes ami hotel corridors
of thi nineteenth precinct. This
tiniltT ha t!.o rvfsnf a hawk, ami as
ho walks alum? the avenues be s-'ans
every inoh if sidewalk, including the
gutter, the latter being a rich place
for tin.ls. Cut ho does not ply his trade
by chance, ami anything h finds in his
unprofessional strolls Kc looks upon as
the results of pleasure, not of busi
ness. He listens at tables of the pop
ular cafes ami picks up many an oll
job in this way. as gentlemen telling
of losses are referred to him as the
man of all others most likely to find
the missing article When iutroditi-eil
to the unfortunate loser this man is
particular to ask every detail alout
the loss, on which street the loser was
w Hiking when he discovered his mis
fortune, anil the eonrse he had taken
from the time he was last cognizant of
still having' the article in his posses
sion. After he has obtained all the
data possible he wishes the party fare
well and foes forth to find. If the
stone or purse, or whatever it may be
has not Won picked up as accidentally
as it was lost, the professional will pet
it and a tine present for itelivci ing it
up to its. owner. The professional
liiulor is an honest man, as honesty is
his best policy. Nobody, to see the
tinder at work, would know that he
was scanning the ground for treasure.
lie walks erect, but not even a pin on
the sidewalk from house line to curb
escapes his gaze.
The liiulor pets his news tips princi
pally from the morning newspapers,
lit- is one of the tirst to buy the papers,
long before the break of day, and he
turns only to the ""Howard" and "Lost
and Found " columns. The other news
in the paper is nothing? to him. A pres
ident may have been elected, an island
annexed or a cabinet named he cares
not. Whenever the article advertised
has been lost going from one oint of
the city to another, the finder. starts at
the tirst nienl ioned place anil travels
to t he terminus. Oftenor than would
bo supposed he finds the prize and
realizes emu;,rh in the way of reward
to keep him in excellent style for a
week or more, lie pays attention only
to the most valuable advertisements.
His eye is trained to look only in the
most likely places in which a ring
would roll or a diamond pin would
drop. Perhaps a foot has trodden upon
the article and crushed it into the color
of the sidctvaJk: the merest hint of
poll I or stone suftices to attract his at
tent ion. liroailway is his best prom
enade, nml Fifth avenue comes next,
ctoselv followed by Sixth avenue. The
park is ul.-o a fruitful source of income,
esjtccially the drive, and on the walk
which skirts t he fashionable drive the
professional tinder takes many a sum
liter stroll, not alone for pleasure, but
often to his profit. When there is in.
clow to an o nor the tinder is entitled
to his tind. but. he watches the news
papers for advertised rewards, and
keeps advertised himself. He says his
good name is of preat value to him.
A FORBIDDEN SONG.
Tim Only Tunc It Wiih Not IVriiiinxiMe to

I recall an interest hip scene in Ar
bor's old dance hall in Silver I 'HIT, in
the winter of s7s-7;i. writes a Denver
correspondent of the New York World.
The Silver Cliff excitement then
ranked only soeond to that of I.ead
vflle, and thousands were rushing to
the new Kldora.lo.
The preat dance hall was crowded
with miners, prospectors and tender
fee t. Thu setsof dancers had been on
the floor all the eveninp. Two long
rows of pa mi up tables had also h'eit
running at full blast, and at midnight
there came A lull in the dancinp for
lunch. Some of the loys took poses -sion
of the platform, and a young fol
low dressed in jacket and ovcralh
threw his sloiieh hat back on 'tis heai.
and struck up some familiar tune 01,
the piano. There Were u! t a dozen
in the party who joined in the singing
Suddenly one of the boys staited up
"Home. Sweet Home." The young
man n t the piano struck in with an
accompaniment, and that old-time
sonp of loved ones and home associa
tion bopan to till the preat hall.
"Pop" Arbour was soon seen rnnn'-ip
towards the orchestra platform. i!o
had no objection to pospel hyitiiis. but
entered a protest at 'Home, Sweet
Home."
"Don't, boys; don't sing that sonp
here."
"Why nof." asked one of the boys.
"You w ill make all of the pirls home
sick and break up the dance hall.
Sin;,' any sonp want to, but not Home.
Sweet Home."
A I'lie ky II. y SolilliT.
In the recollections of "A -Man of
Letters I'nder the Empire and the
Kestoratioit ' a story is told of a French
poet. Marquis do Saint-.Mare, which
would ) credit to some of the military
heroes of history. When Saint-Marc
was fifteen years old he was ensipn of
a troop of cavalry in the Frenc h army
and took part in the battle of Foiito
noy. The first charpe of the English
columns scattered ami overthrew the
tirst line of Saint-Marc's repiinent and
the boy, seated on his horse and un
harmed, was left alone. -In that ter
rible moment," ho said, speukinp of it
afterward, "I remembered nothing ex
cept that I ha.llxen told not to flinch
and always to hold my standard up
right. 1 did that with all my strenpth.
'1 hen the second line rushed forward.
Pcfore I quite understood it I was sur
rounded with friends, who wrapped me
up in my Hag alul carried me to Louis
XV., who embraced me and made me a
lieutenant then and there."
SAVINGS BANKS FOR STAMPS.
To lie lnlrilin-til Into the I tout mi Public
School Wry shortly.
It is promised to introduce "stamp
Mivinps banks" in the 1 lost on pub ic
schools. From various offices colored
stamps of sixdcnomiuatiousaml stamp
cards will fx- obtained. To each per
son wishinp to become a depositor the
lix al treasurer pives him a stamp eard
and sells him as many stamps as he has
money for. These stamps must he
pasted on the card. The card, when
full, will probably contain about five
d. .liars.
As soon as the child has stamps for
that sum the money is taken and de
posited for hint in siime savings bank
that he -may designate. The five dol
lars once deposited he In-pins atrain.
and the small sum prows to a larger
one under his hands. If he wishes'' to
withdraw he presents his card and
draws all that is on it. Then if he has
more money than he cares to use be
culls for another card and redeposits
the balance.

. " '""
ttvi.iueii. me eiiti.t always knows
just
how much he has. and the
treas-
nrer can tell in the saihe manner. If
the child lo.ses the card, however, he
loses his money, or. rather, all that he
carried on that card.

Every Chinese temple is provided
with one or more sacred drums, the
sound of which is supposed to southl
and keep ipi'iet t he great dragon that
upholds the earth. Whenever there is
a moment in which all of these drums
are silent the dragon begins to move
uneasily and there is an earthquake.
The first tremor is, therefore, instantly
followed by a universal drumming
such as is never heard in China on any
ot her occasion, and he pandemonium
continues until the, dragon becomes
quiet.

BURIED ENCCH ARDEN ALIVE.
An Kryptin Jodr Who Believed Wlt
whm Kitther lb II k Owa tieiwea.
A Swiss captain, at the end of a san-p-uinary
and prolonped battle, caused
the desld and dying' to be thrown alike
into pits and buried tog-ether. Some
one Hinted out to him that many of
the bodies btill showed bigns of anima
tion. "My (rood sir," replied the
Swiss, "if a man were to pay atU-ution
to the sijrns they show there would not
lie a dead body imong them." A simi
lar power of preventing the mind being1
turned aside by trifling considerations
apjears to have characterized a certain
kazi iu the city of Cairo, Mansur liin
M usia by name. His decisions, accord -ing-
to the Ixudon Standard, were usu
ally rather extraordinary, but every
now and then they were so remarka
ble as to attract attention from disin
terested outsiders. On one occasion
the inhabitants of Cairo were shocked
to see a living- man borne through the
streets, tied fast to a bier, and hurried
toward the cemetery to be buried alive.
His lamentable shrieks were entirely
- disregarded by the bearers, who re
morsel esslj carried out their duty Ut
its bitter end. It was soon ascertained
that the Kazi Mansur was responsi
ble for this atrocity, and, although
Orientals are not easily shocked where
the administration of justice, so-called,
is concerned, yet in this case it was
felt that some inquiries should be
made. Accordingly, the kazi was in
terviewed and he was asked why it
was that he had caused a living man
to be buried alive. Like Mr. Gilbert's
young lady in '"The Mikado," it was
doubtless pointed out to him that bur
ial alive is too "stuffy" a death to be
agreeable. They found the kazi quite
ready to satisfy their doubt- "You
wish," he said, "to know why this
young man has been buried alive.
Well, his burial has been ordered by
me in due form because six months ago
his wife was married to another man
according to the decree of the law,
two witnesses of a very respectable
character having certified to his
death at Itagdad. The man, however,
came In-fore the court one morning,
pleaded that he was not dead, and ad
vanced" a claim to recover his wife. I
ordered the two witnesses to reappear,
and they proved beyond doubt by
fresh evidence that they had attended
his funeral at liagdad, where he was
buried in their presence. From this
circumstance it is easy to conclude
that the man cannot be a real one, but
the ghost of a former, and must there
fore be laid in order to put an end to
all future disputes resjn-cting the
woman." The bystanders thereupon,
as we are told, "dissembled their mis
givings, praised the kazi's justice and
retired."
TYPES OF BAD MEN.
t'lu-rmetrristli-. ot tho frontier Itesper-adM-a
Who Held Life C'beitu.
The wonder grows whence sprang
these men. who, with pistols on both
hips and knives in their lielts, were
ever eager for some fray, and when no
one could be found to accommodate
them picked a quarrel and then killed
their fellow-man.
Hie ieculiar dangers that attend the
pursuit of gold seem to bring out. in
enormous degree, all the latent vic
iousness in man, and the interest is,
where did such men hide themselves
when in more eaceful parts, or
did the mere sight of the precious
metal or the insatiable greed to obtain
it trausform a respectable citizen into
an animal in contrast with whom a
royal llengal tiger would be sociable
and almost companionable?
I asked this question, says a writer
in the San Francisco Chronicle, of H.
J. Crow, of Is Amreles. one of her
most prosperous and adventurous busi
ness men, who had founded Idaho City
and had followed mining; in inauv
states and territories, aliout the char
acteristics of these "bad men" un.l
whence thev came.
"You could generally bet on it." said
Mr. Crow, "that they were from the
southern states, and seemed to h-v
had dark experiences before thev had
jienetrated into the mines. As a rule
they were lazy men. possessed w ith al
most animal strength, and were utter
ly devoid of remorse. Indeed, these
men and I have known several ap
parently felt that thev owed nothing
to society and had no responsibility. 1
saw tliree men hanged together one
day and heard one say to the other:
Well, Jim. go ahead. I'll meet run
in hell in a minute,' and when it came
his turn to swing he shouted: Three
cheers for Jeff Davis.' Thev act
feared nothing- and held their own
lives as cheaply as they took others.
Where these men disappeared after the
mines gave out, or whether they ever
iH-came peaceable citizens, I cannot
say. I know several have adopted the
latter role, but it would take very lit
tle provocation to make them as blood
thirsty as when they sought victims in
Idaho.
