1 A BLACKING MONOPOLY. THE PADRONE SYSTEM HAS IN f VADEO NEW YORK'S FERRIES. Man Who Control the rjootblaekhie; rrltl laa on Hoard ilia lTarrjboat, and In Iorta Ilnilnen Ilnlldtnre A Dntlnait That ltai OroTrti. The tint ailing law ot business la that wherever there Is an opportunity for the .profitable Investment of capital the money la forthcoming to keep that bnal sen booming and to eelxe upon the moot odvanUgeoiu Bites. And so It haa oome about that capitalists havo not disdained to tako hold of the bootblacklng busi ness. While waiting for a boat outside of the Twenty-third street ferry to Jer sey City a 8nn reporter got a shine from a remarkably bright and efficient Amer ican boy, whoso mods of cleaning and shining indicated a good deal of experi ence. "Why don't you go Inside and pick op business on the boats, whero your cus tomers can get comfortable seats?" in quired the reporter. "I wish I could," said the boy, "but they wont let me do It" "Why, I have seen boys on the boats blacking boots, and they seem to make lota of money." Too, Thoy don't see a day that they do not pick np at least a dollar, and from that all the way np to three or four, or sometimes five. Dot they can't keep the money themselves." "Whynotr "They have to give it np to the Italian pad ropes. There are three Italians who have bought the right from the railroad company, and they are the only ones who are permitted to black boots on the ferryboats. They have hired a lot of Italian boys, to whom they pay three dollars or f our dollars a week, and the boys are compelled to give np all their earnings to too pa drones who hire them. If the boys do not turn in an amount that Is believed to be all their earnings thepadronce put on spotters and watch them, and see that they do pay np. BOOTBLACK PXUXCCS. "Well, why don't you go In and buy the right to shine boots on the boats!" "MoJ Why, do you know what those pad rones pay for the right to black boots on all the boats? They pay over $3,000 a year, and keep the men's cabins clean. A poor boy hasn't much chance to get that job. I used to work for them, but I una l can make more money by stand ing ontslde and catching some ot the customers before they get on the boat. Then all I get is clean profit, and I don't have to pay over to any padrone." On all the steamboats and steamships and railroads, at the hotels, in front of saloons In fact, everywhere where men go there are to be found capitalist boot blacks who hire thatxat places, or there is on arrangement by which the owner of the boat or bote! or barber shop hires some one to do the bootblaoking and tslos the money himself. There have thus onsen several bootblack princes. such as the enterprising Italian who has the monopoly of the bootblaoking at the Prodnco exchange, or the happy colored gentleman who does np the business in the Equitable building. Many of the bootblack princes have wives and families and nice homes, and they dress well and live well. At the big hotels the Income from the privilege ot blacking boots is a considerable cart of the revenue of the house. It has long ceaeoa tow a penjuisito ol the servant. A chair in a good plaoo will yield five dollars a day for bootblacklng, and on extra oocasions a good deal more. The bulk of the work Is done by men. It really requires considerable bone and sinew to black a pair of boots well, and the man who has once noticed the differ ence between the way an average boy does It and tbo way a man takes hold of the work will not care to risk the boy's work ogam. ART D BLACK1SO BOOTS. There are a good many points about blacking boots that give scope to the Renins of the workman, as in all manual occupations. The bootblack who onco establishes a reputation for quick and good work has his fortune made. Men will go ont of their war to meet him. and will wait their" turn as for a favor- its barber. Oa hot days bootblacks' chairs are very tempting on the street corners in tha shade, and many a man stops and takes a shine just for a rest. The sum mer is the bootblacks' harvest, because there is so much traveling and so much dust. Borne saloon keener exact rent from the Italians who have chairs for bootblaoking in front of their saloons. K.Others are content to uso the Italians' services in cleaning up tho place or for vanning errands. Sometimes the pro prietors come out and occupy tho chairs as lounging places, to toe great chagrin of tho Italian owners. Some time ago it was pointed ont that a good many women would get their shoes cleaned and shined as men do if they could have the same facilities. Nobody seems to have acted on this sug gestion yet But it seems likely that there would be money In it .When one man finds ont that there Is money in it others will follow. As it is, many women am ashamed ot their shoes, and long to getnp on the coatrs and have a ehlne. Occasionally a venturesome drl does so. but she generally finds herself on object of considerable oorloslty. Improvements may be seen in the evo lution of the bootblacklng business. Fancy choirs, bettor blacking, a man at each foot, the use of chamois bonds for finishing, little points of attention to dress, the varnishing of russet shoes, the oil shine all these show that the boot blacks ore in harmony with the spirit of theogei that they have their eyes open to tha necessity for keeping paoa with the progress that 1 going on in other de partments of human activity. When tha chorus ot the nations calls upon each business to show what it has done of lra porlanoo In the evolution ot society the modem Dootuiaoic wui taro no subor dinate place, but he will shine like one ot his own most polished shoes.

Where, if anywhere, are the lead mines of northwestern Pennsylvania? In connection with attempts to answer this question the writer hereof, in boyhood, harvested many atone bruises by day and treasure dreams by night, together with numerous traditions or tho days Ot practically unbroken forests, bears' grease and primeval economy, This section, oomDnslng parts of northern Venango and southern Craw ford counties, Is about forty miles south of Corry, sixteen miles north of Oil City, ten miles west of Tltusvllle and eight een miles east of Meadvllle. There la no doubt In tho mlnda of plenty of entirely rational people that somewhere within, or contiguously without, the region ot country which these towns bound, there is a locality where an exceptionally good quality of lead ore may be obtained, or, at least, the locality where ore of such quality was obtained formerly by the Indians, both for their own use ana to sell or trade to the white settlers. As the source of this supply was carefully kept a secret by the Indians mainly of Chief Cornplanter's tribe and has never been discovered, It la regarded as rea sonable to Infer that it may yet bo a source of profit as to believe that it was exhausted. A piONEna'B nxranumcB. At what Is now Bradlevtown, a vil lage three miles southwest ot here, on one of the branches of Sugar Creek, a pioneer named Jacob Jennings lived 100 years ago and had near his pioneer house a small blacksmith shop. From Mrs. Samuel Motion, ot Chapmanvllle, and John Jennings, ot BunvUle, some interesting reminiscences were obtained as related by their father, who was a son of Jacob Jennings. The latter, at his blacksmith shop, frequently smelted and run Into bullets rich lead ore sup plied Dy tne Indians, xnoymade pen' odical trips to this place for that pur pose. Coming up from the Allep-heny river they made it a point to reach his home in the evening, there being usually several In the party. They would be allowed to stay and would sleep around the fireplaces In the house and shon. At daybreak they would strike northward np the creek and would return a few hours later with a stock of the lead produot to be melted. No amount of persuasion, of barter or of purchase pnee would cause them to disclose the whereabouts of the lead deposits. Fifty years ago, according to a mem' ber of the family, Mrs. Robert Gillespie and a daughter, then a little girl, were lost in the woods, and during their wan derings found along a ravine an out cropping of lead-Ollod rock, a piece ot which they took with them. Alter find' Ing their way home they were unablo to find' their way back with older members of the family to tho point where they naa round tne load, various ana oon tinuons searches have been made since along the ravines in that section, one enthusiast devoting a considerable por tion of a year to the search: but aside from a fragment weighing about four pounds, and round In a field In Randolph township, uawrora county, where It had apparently been dropped, no lead ore has been dlsoovered. MATERIAL TOR PR08PECTOE3. The prospeotor able to develop point era from Indian relics may find consid erable material in that line in this sec tion. At Wallaoeville, three miles south east of here, ho may find a whole field of yet well denned mounds and excava tions. A mile north ot here, just across the line in Crawford county, he may find remnants of several large stone piles constructed of stones laving nota ble uniformity In sue and piled npby the Indians for some unknown purpose before the time of the earliest settlers. If he will follow the plow for a season in the southwestern part of this town ship Plum township, Venango county or the northerly adjoining township of Troy, In Crawford county, his labors will probably be rewarded with a fresh stocu or pipes, weapons and other relics of the noble and Ignoble Lo. If he will further follow the blow in a field along the Sugar Creek flats, about two miles north of the Jacob Jennings homestead, and will fall to lift tho point of his plow when he reaches a certain point In that field, his plow handles will smite mm hip and thigh and put him to rout. The cause thereof will be that the plow point will strike the edge of a circu lar bed of burned and pounded stone It Is about ten feet in diameter, projects to the top ot the ground where efforts have not been made to get down to the bot tom of It, and Is known to have been there fully ISO years how much longer no man knows, as it was then, accord ing to pioneer tradition, as much a mat ter of mystery and antiquity as at pres ent If the lead prospector chooses to con sider it of no value to him, he may re gard it as one ot the places whero the Norsemen, poking ont this way from Newport and the vicinity of Boston. paused to bake beans.

Kite flying, which is nnlveraal In this country, ceases suddenly on tho 1Mb. of tha first Corean month, and the next day .tone tights take Its place as tha chief public Muasement In tha eastern part of Seoul, the capital, there are large open spaces that have not been built upon, and here occur tho most eeilons nd Interesting rights. One section of the city la pitted against another, but any ono can take a hand on either side at pleasure. There are no recognUod leaders, but the mass of fighters readily follows the lead ot any one who shows himself to be a little more reckless than the rest Two mobs, conslstlnii of fifty, seventv or a hundred men each, are drawn np against each other, with an interval of fierhaps fifty yards between thorn. There is an Incessant shower of stones, and each man's business Is to hit as many men ns he can, and especially to avoid all the stones directed at him. From ten to twenty men on each side are armod with stout clubs and wear thick wadded helmets. Theso form tho sklr- mlshing lino. They sally out from their respective titles and, meeting In mid career, strike out viciously at each other's heads, each man holding np his cioak wuii ins leit nana as a shield to ward off the blows of his adversary. After tlw club fight has lasted about thirty seconds one or toe omer begins to frtvo way, which Is the signal tor a rush of the others. Almost Invariably tho other side breaks and runs, and sometimes are chased into their houses, but generally soma of tha pursuing party press too closely on tho fugitives. Then tho latter suddenly turn and deal a few staggering blows, which check the pursuers, nnd In a few seconds tha tables are turned, and thoso who a mo ment ago are flushed with victory are now In full flight with their enemies. Thus the battle goes back and forth across the fields, while the neighboring embankments are crowded with specta tors. The effect of tha thundering cheers of the spectators npon tho com batants Is marvelous. They chargo upon each other as If in actual battle, and show what would be bravery If exerted In some useful cause. Near the river are numerous villages numbering from 100 to 600 houses each. They are situated along the banks at In tervals of about half a mile. These keep up a continual series of fights among themselves during the season, one vil lage being arrayed against tha other. The defeated party fly across the marshy Held to their own village, followed by their enemies, who enter after them, seizing anything on whloh they can lay their hands Iron files, doors to mark their victory. Then tha whole village rises ngalnst the Invaders, and they fly, glad If they can get back without broken heads. Tho first stono fight of tho season was rather more disastrous than usual. It Is reported that six men were killed: but this la probably nn exaggeration. A company of soldiers were ordered out to stop It, which tbey found some difJlculty In doing with fixed bayonets. Japanese I'aper. Itefore Learning- n Language. Borne students begin a language for the mere lovo of knowing foreign tongues; others acquire tbem cither for professional purposes or with the aim of gaining access to foreign literatures. But whatever be tho motive It Is well to set out with some knowledge of the science of language soma insight into the relations of languages to each other some grasp of the theories of modem scholars about tho origin and develop ment of speech. To learn language without knowinganything of the eclenco of languago 19 like acquiring the art of putting up electric fixtures without any icnowledgo of the principles of electrical science. To approach it, on the other hand, from the standpoint of universal prin ciples is to make tho study of it easier and progress in any particular tongoa much more rapid. By knowing, for ex ample, tho laws of consonantal inter change, wo may often discover tha meaning of words with6nt being obliged to refer for them to the dictionary. In this way overy new language learned makes more easy the acquirement ot other tongues ot the same or of allied stocks. Boston Herald.
