When one descends upon Wall street, either from the Broadway slope of Trinity church or from the Nassau street bill, at noontime any week day the air Is fraught with nini'v conflict ing odors of the kitchen, i roni over the roars of the clamoring curb folk way down in the valley of Broad street there arises from a score of cookeries and "handouts" a decided smell of the stewpot blended with the ever glori ous onion. From the eaves of the New York Stock Exchange come the more pretentious fragrance of spiced meats and strong coffee. From the basement and attic alike, from cloud tickler and antiquated frame house as well, come all sorts of fuming evidences that the men of affairs are eating. To realize what this luncheon hour means to Wall street one must stop to think of the thousands of persons who are in that small district of the city at this particular part of the day. Hundreds of restaurants meet the rush with their doors flung wide, and their keep ers have grown rich upon nickels and dimes that fall Into their tills like a mighty rataplan during those brief hours of midday. Men have grown rich and retired to palatial mansions In the suburbs selling cup custards and "sinkers" to millionaires, stenogra phers, clerks and bankers alike during the busy hour or two at noon.

A Den of Reptiles That Eluded the Ordinary Passer's Eye. The fact that snakes are rarely seen j even when they are abundant was im -1 pressed upon the ralnd of the writer on© day while waiting for a train at a | small station In New Jersey. A nearby culvert, where a small stream flowed under the juuctlon of the railway and - a well traveled public road, seemed a i favorable place for them. The stone wall, laid up without mortar, which supporte*' the approach to the bridge had a southern exposure. The chinks afforded iituple hiding place, and the reedy borders of the stream promised good hunting for the species which live upon small fish, frogs, toads and earth worms. The flagman, who for several years j had passed ten hours a day at his lei surely occupation there, denied that ; there were snakes in the vicinity. "No i more than there be in Ireland, an' It's : not me as would be tendln' this cross in' if there was,"he asserted. But a few minutes' search In the gutters and grass revealed four specimens which bad been under his very eyes—a gar ter, a worm, a De Kay and a newly batched milk snake. A new flagman was Installed there the following day, j but crowds of people, many of whom would become hysterical at the sight of a snake, continue to pass within three feet of the wall blissfully uncon scious that they are walking over a den of serpents.—Francis Metcalfe in Outing Magazine. A healthy manner of play is neces sity to a healthy manner of w#rk.— | Ruskiu. A Royal Martyr to Etiquette. In Spain the etiquette to be observed in the royal palaces was carried to such length as to make martyrs of their kings. There is a historic in- j stance. Philip 111. was gravely seated '■ by the fire. Tiie firetnaker of the court had kindled so great a quantity of wood that the monarch was nearly suffocated with heat, aud his grandeur would not suffer him to rise from the chair. The domestics could not pre sume to enter the apartment because it was against the etiquette. At length the Marquis do Totat appeared, and the king ordered him to damp the fires, but he excused himself, alleging that he was forbidden by the etiquette to perform such a function, for which the Due d'T.'sseda ought to be called upon, as it was his business. The duke was gone out. The fire burned fiercer, and the king endured it rather than dero gate from his dignity. But his blood was heated to such a degree that he was seriously 111 the next day. A vio lent fever succeeded, which carried him off ID the twenty-fourth year at his age.—London Standard.

There was some doubt last winter whether boroughs and townships at the winter primary were permitted to choose their methods of making noml. nations. But the uniform primary law was flnallv construed BS provid ing that nothing should prevent the nomination of candidates for borough and township offices in the maimer provided by existing laws or in other words by the caucns svstem. The whole matter is put up to the county commissioners, who are left to decide which method shall be em ployed at the winter primary. Last year, as well an this year, onr county commissioners decided in favor of the caucus system. At the spring primary when candi dates for congress, representative and county auditor will he nominated no choice will he permitted and nom inations will have to bo made accord ing to the provisions of the uniform primaries act. Next year being a presidential year tiie spring primarv will be held oil the second Saturday of April, instead of on the fir>t Saturday of June as last | vear. The earlier date on presideut ; ial years is necessary in order that delegates voted for then may be chos en in time for the State and national conventions.

Commenting on the decision made i by tho convention of school directors of Armstrong county a few days ago that agriculture shall hereafter be taught in the schools of the county and : that teachers shall qualify themselves I to teach along those lines, the Butler Kagle says; "They are getting partic ular in Armstrong. Yet there is much in the request made. The suggestion j of the teaching of agriculture is not 1 new,but nevertheless vital. The large element iu tho rural schools are being trained for the farm. The scholars are the scholars of farmers. They will | grow up oil the farm and take the | places of their fathers and mothers as tillers of the soil and queens of the rural home. Why should they not be taught best that which they will have most to do with throughout life? It is an error of the past that all the schools should do is to give the child training in the three Rs. They need more. If they are to be good farmers aud good farmer's wives they must know of the progress in the best methods of farming and making of the business of agriculture the study and close attention demanded for real j success. As to the requirements for I the teacher, which is the real mean ing of the request for a higher stand ard for school certificates, the direct ors probably feel that as they are I compelled to pay more money for the I teacher under the new law they should i have a higher degree of efficiency." ST. LOUIS' GOLD MINE. ! Traces of the Metal Once Found With in the City Limits. j St. Louis has never been known as a I gold mining center, but there was once j a gold mine within the limits of the I city, and, what is more, it yielded gold, which is more than a great many gold : mines in the Rockies have done. In the sixties of the last century there was a well dug on a hill just east of Carondelet park, and the well j diggers, noticing some bright, spar | kling yellow particles in the clay nt the bottom, did a little washing on their owu account and found several | grains of gold iu the pan. The news ! soon got abroad, and two ex-mlners | from the west who were living In the neighborhood quickly got tho idea that there was money to be made In St. j Louis gold mining, so they sank a shaft not far from the well, fully expecting j rich returns from their work. They did actually find gold, but in quanti- J ties so small that they estimated a j yield of about 15 cents per ton of clay, so they filled tip the hole and gave up the undertaking in that place as a bad J Job. ! But they had all the miner's entliu [ siasm, and the fact that they found | gold at all merely stimulated their zeal j to try iu another place, so they went | to the side of a hill where the Glaize I creek had washed away the earth and { made a clay precipice. They dug a hole there, where they also found traces of j the precious metal, but in no greater quantities than before. Then they went up the creek about a quarter of a mile and sank another shaft, with no better result. They spent the whole spring and summer digging holes around in the neighborhood of the park, but the | only benefit'they realized from their : work was the sobriquet "two luna tics," and people laughed at them so much that both left and went back west, where digging holes In the search for gold was taken more seriously than I In St. Louis.—St. Louis Globe-Demo erat.
