Neuter. Particularly polite and gallant was the young man who was sauntering down Witherell street one day not long ago, when the sidewalks were covered with slush and the ditches were flood- ed to the top of the curb. He wore a pink carnation in his coat lapel; his trousers were definitely creased; his shoes had lately been polished, al- though the wealth of slush on the walks had dimmed their brilliancy. He was approaching a crossing. Just ahead of him a young woman was wheeling a baby carriage in the same direction. The gutter was more than ankle deep with ice cold water. The young woman hesitated. To the res- cue came the young man. “Can't I as- | sist you?” he ed. “Thank you so ! much,” was the reply, so appreciative in its tone that the young man boldly stepped into the watery ditch and fer- ried the lady across. Then he picked up the carriage and carried it over. “There,” he said, as he sat it down, “I guess I haven't wakened it.” He said “it” because he didn’t know whether there was a girl or boy under the shawl. “Ob, it isn’t a baby,” vol- unteered the young lady. “I was down marketing and this is such an easy way to get the groceries home, you know.” —Detroit Free Press.

Nows that albatrosses are being de- stroyed literally by myriads on an is- land newly acquired by Uncle Sam may well excite dismay, in view of the from a zoological and romantic view- point. The island in question is that of Laysan, to the northwest of Hawaii —a volcanic rock three miles long and a trifle less in breadth—on which these sea fowl breed in enormous numbers. Unfortunately for them, a for that valuable fertilizer, and their the workmen. Though the birds them- must soon result in the practical ex- tinction of the species thereabout. It is the government bureau of ornithology that calls attention to this forthcoming year book of the depart ment of agrienlture, Dr. T. 8. Palmer will speak of dangers threatening in other regions. Perhaps the most striking and certainly the most important in a fivancial way. These islands, or rather rocks, off the coast of Cali- fornia 30 miles west of the Gplden Gate are the breeding ground of gulls and murres. For nearly 50 years murre exgs have been collected there and shipped {o the San Francisco at from 12 to 20 cents per dozen—a price only a little less than that of hen’s eggs. During the season, which lasts about two months, beginning near the middle of May, the eggs are twice a | week. The main crop is gathered on South Farallone, the principal island, and chiefly from the ‘‘great rookery’’ The bird lays only | oue egg, which is deposited on the bare rock. When the season opens | the men go over the ground and break all the eggs in sight, so as to avoid taking any that are not perfectly fresh. The ground is then gone over every tically picked up and shipped to mar- ket, The business is in the hands of Italians and Greeks, and although only a dozen or 15 ‘‘eggers’’ are em- ployed the number of eggs gatherel is simply enormous, It is said that in 1854 more than 500,000 were sold in less than two months, and that be- tween 1850 and 1856 three or four nillions were taken to San Francisco. Since then the value of the eggs has declined, an the output has also fallen off considerably. In 1884 there were gathered 300,000; in 188€¢,about 108,- 000, while in 1896 the crop was re- duced to a little less than 92,000. The Farallones being a government lighthouse reservation, the ‘‘eggers” were allowed on the islands formerly only by suflrance. From 1850 to 1880 the Farallone lgg company remained in almost undisputed sway, but was dispossessed in 1881 by the authori- ties. Afterward the keepers employed men to gather the eggs. But in 1897 the attention of the lighthouse board was called to the decreasing numbers of the birds, and instructions were issued prohibiting further gathering of eggs for market, thus practically putting an end to the business for the present. The eggs of the Palias murre are collected for food on the Pribilof is- lands, in Bering sea, and H. W. Elliott, the naturalist, mentions that on the occasion of his first visit to Walrus island, in July, 1872, six men in less than three hours loaded a large boat carrying four tons with eggs to the water's edge. Large colonies of water birds, such as pelicans, gulls, terns and herons, may be found at points along the coasts of the United States during the breeding season, and in certain localities the eggs of some of these species are highly esteemed and find a ready market-—as on the eastern shore of Virginia, where eggs of the laughing gull are considered a great delicacy, and are gathered in large numbers for sale to hotels and private individuals. But in the gratification of this taste there is the same ten: dency toward extermination, which is manifested in the case of feather col- lecting. — Boston Transcript. Number of Dogs in the Unite l States, Are not more dogs kept in the United States than are necessary and proper? Grant that some dogs are of use, is there use for so many? 1 think there has been no census of dogs taken in any state. In Ohio, as long ago as 1862, there was a law re- quiring the assessors to return the number of dogs in their district for taxation. The number returned that year was 174,105. That this did not include them all is evident, for the next year 183,167 were found. A wool-growers’ convention in the same year agreed that all the dogs had not been returned, and declared that there were 500,000 dogs in the state or one to every five inhabitants. The small state of Rhode Island had on her tax list in 1862 6845 dogs, or about one to 12 of her population. As the litle state is made up of cities and villages, where not so many dogs are kept as in the country, this is a big showing. In the report of the depart- ment of agriculture for 1871 Mr. G. W. Kinney of Missouri states that at least two dogs are kept by every fam- ily in that state, and that the whole number is not less than 460,000. A larger proportion of dogs is kept in in the southern and western states than in the middle and eastern. The assessors’ returns in Ohio and Rhode Island show there is one dog kept for 12 1-2 inhabitants-—an ad- mitted low estimate. It will be safe to say there is one dog in the United States to every ten of the human pop- ulation, or 7,000,000 dogs.—Contri- butor, in Country Gentleman. A Mutual Desire.

The Brooklyns have the small- est number of errors to their credit. The system of the college nines of sending their men ont on the field on the run might be adapted by the Na- tional League with good results in these days of dilatorv games. St. Louis players this season are get- ting the reputation formerly so jealousy guarded by the Baltimores—that of be- ing hit by more pitched balls—than any team in the League. : The New York writers have discover- ed that Ewing's “star pitching staff” needs strengthening, and the cry ‘has gone up that “we need pitchers.” The New Yorks are weak in the box and at Eve ning Post. third base. INDUSTRIAL NOTES | A Weckly Review of the Happ:nings Through= the Labor Wcrld in This and : O ner Countries. { The moulders of Youngstown, O., have struck for ‘higher wages and an cight-hour day. The Sioux Falls, S. D., council has voted that the union label be used on all city printing. It is estimated that about 300,000 men have been withdrawn from the various industries of Great Britain for military service. There were 437 arrests during the street car strike in Berlin, Germany. Fiiteen policemen were severely injur- ed. Traffic is now entirely restored. Owing to a falling off in business, 200 employes of the Burlington Woolen Mills; at Burlington, Vt.. have been discharged, reducing the force one-hali. A resolution in favor of the amalga- mation of all labor organizations into one big union was adopted by the con- vention of the Western Federation of Miners at Denver, Col. The laborers working on the several roads now under construction in Glou- cester county, N. J., have got the strike fever and have asked for an advance from $1.25 to $1.35 per dav. New Jersey strawberry grevers find it extremely difficult to hire pickers for the large crop that is anticipated. Big wages have been offered, but the help cannot thus far be procured. The latest strike in the Michigan cop- per district has been settled and the Quincy mine strikers have returned to work. Underground employes get ten per cent. increase and full time for half shifts on Saturdays. Surface employes get ten per cent. advance in wages. The discharge of the president of the Amalgamated Association of Tin Work- ers precipitated a strike at the Great Western Tin Plate Works at Joliet, Il, 150 men walking out in three depart- ments. After a conference the superin- tendent closed the entire works, throw- mg out 200 men. The dispute does not involve the wage question. The granite manufacturers and the cutters in Maine have reached an agree- ment. and the strike which began in March is over. The agreement is on the basis of thirty-five cents per hour, mini- mum price, and an eight-hour day. The piece bill of price is increased about twelve per cent. The contract is to be continued for two to five years. One of the largest works of man’s hands is the artificial lake. or reservoir, in India, at Rajputana. This reservoir. said to be the largest in the world, and known as the great tank of Dhebar, and used for irrigating purposes, covers an area of 21 square miles, There are over 600 acres of Philadel- phia land under cultivation south of Porter street, in the district known as the Neck, and there is now living in Germantown a man who has amassed a fortune of $500,000 in raising early vegetables in that locality. An electric railway. to be 400 miles long and to cost $14.000.000. is to be constructed, with the approbation of the government to the extent of $6,- 000,000, connecting the States of To- basco, peche, Me Yucatan, Chiapas and Cam- 0. Mag’strates in England. At the present time there are three classes of magistrates, or justices, cre- ated by English law, namely—county, borough and stipendiary. The two former require no professional qualifica- tion, buat the latter must be a barrister of at least seven years’ standing. The selection and appointment in each case is much the same. The county magis- trate is appointed by the crown, usually on the recommendation of the lord lieu- tenant of the county to the lord chan- cellor. The borough magistrate is ap- pointed in the same way, though usual- ly on the recommendation of the coun- cil, The stipendiary magistrate is the only one that is paid. and his appoint- ment is made and his salary fixed on a petition of the council to the lord chancellor. A New Process of Making Gas. At the last exhibition recently heid at Crystal Palace in Leipsic a new ap- paratus for generating gas from gaso- line was shown. The gas can be used for illuminating, cooking and heating purposes and for motors. The appa- ratus is intended for districts where there are no gas works, for factories, saloons, farm houses and country scats It can be placed in any good-sized room which is not exposed to frost. It is antomatic and odorless, and its use requires no technical knowledge The gas is pure and cannot explode It is heavier than the air and therefore is less dangerous than coal gas, MINES AND MINERS.

In 150 years of mining cperations Brazil has yielded about $100.000.000 worth of gems, or a total output which is equalled every six or seven years by the product of the Kimberley mines. The African diamonds are commonly admitted to be less beautiful than those from Brazil, but their total sale al- ready exceeds by millions the value of all the gems Brazil has though African diamond mining has been carried on only about 20 years.

Tt ic expected. that in a month or so pre- liminary developments will be made and if they show the deposits to be up to expectations, then the coal will be mined on a large scale. Gov:rnment After Coiling Station. One of the most important facts which developed during the late war with Spain was the great need by this country of more coaling stations for the navy. The navy department, realiz- ing this, has been for some time at work planning for the establishment of stations at various parts of the world, and all now depends upon the negotia- tions in progress between the State de- partment and the various countries con- cerned. The government of Liberia has recently consented to the establish- ment of a coaling station at a site to be selected by the navy department and it is the intention to immediately begin the necessary work.

To creatures incapable of under- standing their use the first telegraph poles were naturally migleading. A London paper iz =- for th» statement that when these useful arti- cles were intro#uced into Norway they had a disquieting effect on the bears. The bears heard the moaning of the wind in the wires, and proceeded to put two and two together. Such a therity It was associated in the minds of the bears with a sweet morsel, The poles must be gigantic hives. So the bears | set to work to root the poles out of the | ground. The woodpeckers also listened | to the humming, and concluded that | innumerable insects were concealed In those tall poles. Therefore they also went to work to find the treasure, boring holes to extract the insects. In time birds and animals became wiser, and the telegraph pole or wire is used by more than one bird as a safe place for its nest. There is a small bird in Natal that used to build its cradle-shaped nest in the branches of trees, but as scon as the telegraph wires were set up it changed the loca- tion of its housekeeping and built on the wires, so that molest its treasures. The new posi- tion was found so secure that the bird added a second door to the nest, which had hitherto possessed only a small opening in the side furthest from the overhanging branch. To Give a Cent Party. A cent party is the latest idea for whiling away an evening when a few friends are met together. Here is the recipe for one: Each guest was given a card. Fastened to the card with rib- bons was a cent with a hole in it, and a pencil. At the top of the cards, in fancy letters, was painted, “A penny for your thoughts.” Underneath this were the names of fifteen objects which can be found on a cent. The guest who properly filled his card received a prize of a cent dipped in gold for a watch charm. The ladies’ prize was a hatpin on the same order. The fol- lowing are the articles to be searched for on the cent: 1. 2 An animal, hare. 2 Serpent, copper head. 3. Southern fruit, date. 4. Emblem of royalty, crown. 5. A spring flower, tulip. 6. Part of an ancient armor, shield. 7. Another term for matrimony. 8. Part of a hill, brow. 9. Plenty of assurance, cheek. 10. Found in a school, pupil. 11. Ancient place of worship, temple. 12. Early American settler, Indian. 13. Emblem of victory, wreath. 14. Part of a river, mouth. 15. A messenger, one cent.— What to Eat. Poiron-Tipped Arrow Heads. Two chemists of the University of Edinburgh hava analyzed the stuff used ‘in Africa as a poison for arrow heads and which never yet has been examined chemically. This poison is extracted by boiling the roots and stems of a plant called asocanthora cantherin. The plant belongs to a fam- ily of poison plants called apocynum, | to which belong the oleander, stro- varieties. The action of the arrow- head poison is powerful to an extra- | ordinary degree, and immediately af- | fects the heart, which in strong doses | it quickly paralyzes. The chemists experimented in inoculating animals with the juice, and noticed that even when the heart became paralyzed the action of the lungs continued a littie while longer. The poison, therefore, affects the muscles, but not the nerves, which explains that phenomenon of frogs which were inoculated breath- ing after the heart had ceased its ac- tion.—New York Press.
