THE TOWER OF LONDON,
toeklng Up a Quaint and Anelent
Ceremony.
The main guardhouse at the Tower,
which has Just been pulled down, was
hard by the Bloody Tower. It Is at
this spot, says the London Graphic,
that the quaint and ancient ceremony
of locking up tho tower Is nightly per
formed, as It has been for centuries. A
few minutes before 11 o'clock the head
warder, or yeoman porter, as he Is
properly styled, clothed In a red cloak,
carrying a portentous bunch of keyß,
and accompanied by another warder
carrying a lantern, appears in front of
the main guardhouse and roars out,
"Escort, keys!" The sergeant turns
out with some of the men, and follows
the yeoman to the outer gate, the whole
party being challenged by all the sen
tries with "Who goes there?" and the
answer is simply "Keys." The gates
being locked the keys are brought back
to the main guard. Here the sentry
•tamps and roars out, "Who goes
there?"
"Keys," Is the reply.
"Whose keys?"
"Queen Victoria's keys."
"Advance, Queen Victoria's keys.
And all's well.
"God bless Queen Victoria!" cries
the yeoman porter.
"Amen," responds the main guard.
"Present arms!" cries the officer on
duty, and amid the rattle of the salute
he kisses the hilt of his sword. The
yeoman porter marches off with the
keys and deposits them In the lieuten
ant's lodgings, and from that time
throughout the livelong night you can
only circulate within the tower pro

In these days of proposed interna

of the little difficulty in which a Chi
cago newsboy found himself Involved,
and how he extricated himself there
from. He had wandered over Into one
of the "foreign quarters," on the west
aide, where one can hear almost every
language except our vernacular, and
lie was set upon by two or three boys.
He defended himself bravely and was
holding hts own fairly well, until the
two or three were Joined by as many
xnore. and then tho battle began to go
against him. "Say!" be yelled to a
group of boys watching the fight from
the sidewalk, "is there an English boy
4n the crowd?" "Yes." shouted a
atockily built urchin of about his own
size. "Come yere, then!" panted the
young American, laying about him
■with all his might, "an' we'll clean
out the hull gang!" And they did.

COERCING A RELUCTANT HEN.
At First She Was Averse to Raising: a
Brood; Now She's "Setting:" All Right.
In Missouri lives a boy who likes
pets. He began with a pair of pig
eons that he got in a trade for a dog
that he traded a knife for. His par
ents allowed him to keep the pigeons
•until they multiplied so that there
were pigeons all over the place. Then
he sold the pigeons and bought a goat
that ate the clothes off the line every
Monday. |He was compelled to dis
pose of it, and traded it for a pair of
game chickens. In a week there
wasn't a rooster left in the neighbor
hood; the game rooster had killed
them all. His father took the game
chickens for a ride one night and lost
them three miles out in the country.
Three days later he brought them
home, but he never told any one how
he got them. And so he fought for
his pets one by one; his dog was lost,
his lamb stolen, his rabbits ran away.
He has come down one old hen.
Recently he bought a "settin' " of
eggs. A "settin'" of eggs is as
many as a motherly hen can hatch
into chicks. He had made up his
mind that his hen was lonely
and needed company, and what so
companionable as a batch of little
chicks to scratch for? The hen, how
ever, had different views, and didn't
want to sit on the eggs. But he was
not a boy to be stumped by a hen—
he had borne too mauy losses al
ready.
He put the eggs in a box, in which
he had made a nest of hay. Then he
planted the indignant hen on them,
put a board in which he had bored a
lot of air holes over her and left her
to come to terms. That night his
big brother kicked off the box and set
the hen free. The next morning the
boy put her back, and put some
bricks on the board, for he thought
she had raised the board and released
herself. The brother kicked both
bricks and board off that night. The
boy replaced hen and board again,
and again they were kicked off. Then
he got a board and made a hole in it
for the hen to poke her head through,
and nailed the board to the box.
Once a day he takes the board off and
chases the hen around the yard for
exercise, and twice a day he carries
food and water to her.
What's the use of trying to discour
age a boy like that?
Using Petroleum For Fuel.
Speaking of oil reminds me tliat all
tlie locomotives on tlie Santa Fe Rail
road in California are run with
petroleum for fuel. Tlie supply comes
from a big petroleum ranch near
Fullerton, where there are twelve
wells yielding an average of 400 bar
rels a day. Altogether there are fifty
two locomotives on the California
division fitted with oil burners, and
they have not only proved eminently
successful, but cost no more than
coal burners. A ton of oil will carry
them twice as many miles as a ton of
coal and haul tlie same load. Coal is
worth $7 a ton and oil about the same
price.
The petroleum output in Southern
California now amounts to about 45,-
000 barrels a day, and it is all con
sumed upon the Pacific coast. It was
discovered about ten years ago, and
has been in use for about five years.
A tank stesmer runs regularly between
Santa Barbara and San Francisco,
carrying refined petroleum to the lat
ter market. The Southern Pacific
runs its local trams by oil, and it is
also consumed as fuel in several
manufacturing establishments in this
section. There is no'smoke and no
cinders. The looomotive tenders on
the Santa Fe Road are big tanks, and
the engineer feeds the fire with a key.

THE FEATHER BUSINESS.
Most of the Millions of Pounds Used
Come From Clilmi.
The fierce fire in a feather foundry
which took place recently at Newark,
N. J., called attention to the fact that
a large business is done in feathers,
and that the fluffy, bulky article is an
important item in the commercial
world.
"Of course," said a large importer
of feathers and down, "most people
know that feathers are not made; that
they are simply gathered off the live
birds for the market; but there are
not many people who know that'nearly
the whole supply, which amounts to
several million pounds a year in this
country, comes here from China via
Germany. In China the feathers aro
gathered by small dealers and com
mission merchants through the coun
try, and the stock finds its way finally
to Hong Kong, where the large pack
ing and cleaning establishments are
situated. Some fenlhers are made
ready for the consumer there, but the
largest part of the product is sent
'raw' to Europe, where the dusting
and renovating take place. One of the
largest plants in Europe is in Prague,
where the factories of the concern
whioh had the loss in Newark are lo
cated."
The duty on raw feathers is fifteen
per otnt., and fifty per cent, on the
manufactured or cleaned article, and
in order to save a part of the extra
thirty-five per cent., factories have
been established here. The raw ma
terial comes to the United fctate- in
bales, which have been reduced in
size by hydraulic pressure and con
tain about 400 pounds each.
Feathers which remain in Europe
are used to a great extent for feather
beds, but of the material which comes
to this country the largest part is
used for pillows and cushions.
"The ordinary pillow," said a man
ufacturer, "eats up seventy-five per
cent, of the supply, and the rest goes
to miscellaneous bedding, and the
down whioh is selected from the
feathers and comes, in some instances,
already selected, is used for fancy
cushions of the better grade and for
bed covers. Feather beds, the old
fashioned article, which corns here
from Germany and Ireland, are going
out ef date rapidly, and even the East
Siders make pillows of their beds
after they have been in the country a
few years. New York is no place for
feather beds, anyway, even if the peo
ple wanted tbem. In apartments like
those in the old-fashioned New Eug"
land homes a mountain of feathers
may be housed, but in flats, which
are so small that the occupants must
use condensed milk, the feather bed
can have no place."
On the Wrong; Man.
Bret Ilarto is so frequently compli
mented as the author of "Little
Breeches," that he is almost as sorry
it was ever written as is Colonel John
Hay, who would prefer his fame to
rest on more ambitious work. A
gushing lady, who prided herself upon
her literary tastes, said to him once:
"My dear Mr. Harte, lam so delighted
to meet you. I have read everything
you ever wrote, but of ail your dialect
verse there is none that compares to
your 'Little Breeches.'" "I qnite
agree with you, madam," said Mr.
Harte, "but you have put the little
breeches on the wrong man."—The
Argonaut.
One-Cent Carfare In Italy.
Electric power has been introduced
on all the street railway lines in Milan,
Italy, and the directors have tried the
experiment of reducing the fare from
the equivalent of two cents to one
daring the rush hours—7 to 9 a. m.
The effect was a gain of fifty per cent,
over previous receipts for that period
of time, three passengers being car
ried at one cent for every one carried
at two cents. The innovation will be
made permanent.
A Legacy of Pretense.
Just one hundred years ago the Man
hattan Company of New York was In
corporated by Aaron Burr. Its osten
sible purpose was to supply the city
with water. Its real purpose was to
open a bank. The reason for the con
cealment was because there was a pop
ular prejudice against banks. A tank
was built, hollow logs laid for pipes,
and water was distributed until 1840.
In order to keep its charter, this great
banking company, which still exists,
Is today obliged to pump water from
its ancient tank. A pitcherful is al
ways in evidence at its annual meet
ings, and a committee solemnly re
ports that no applications for water
have been refused. The story has its
humorous side, but It illustrates the
legacy of pretense and useless effort
which roundabout methods always en
tail. Aaron Burr's mode of seeking one
object under cover of another has
many followers, but in politics or so
ciety or in individual relations it can
never be commended and seldom ex
cused.
A Tale of the First Napoleon.
From the Weekly Telegraph: In the
days of the first empire the Paris stu
dents formed a cabal against the dram
atist Lemercier. One first night the
disturbance was reported to Napoleon,
who gave orders for a second represen
tation. The students still hissed. The
emperor got excited. "Play it again,"
he said, "and I will go and see it." This
time all seemed well. In the third
act it struck his majesty to look out of
his box, and the quiet was explained.
Every head in the audience was cov
ered with an immense nightcap drawn
over the ears, and each head was nod
ding. Napoleon bur t out laughing.
The piece was not picked again.
Two hundred men have refused to
work at cleaning Brooklyn streets be
cause they did not wish to wear the
"white wings" uniform. They were
hired under the new system, and all of
them are Americans. They say they
will not clean the streets until the
Legislature changes the law that com
pels them to wear the white wings.
"We are men," they say, "not mon
keys."

Oddities in Umbrellas.
Many curious umbrellas are made.
One I have seen, says James Gilmer
Speed In Woman's Home Companion,
can be taken apart and put In one's
pocket. The stick Is of wood about an
inch In diameter. The cover can be
turned Inside out and folded Into a
small bundle. By touching a spring ,
the ribs came ofT, straighten out, and
may be placed in the hollow of the
stick, which is then a presentable
walking stick. It is found very con
venient by Its owner, who Is a drum
mer. Another Is still more Ingenious.
The handle is curved, and when a
spring is pressed a pipe flies out. The
ribs are stowed away In the center and
the owner has a walking stick, but in
the center there is also a rapier, which
may be drawn out. Another neat In
vention is a hollow stick which con
tains a camp chair. Three steel sup
ports are pressed out of the top of the
stick, a triangular piece of canvas put
on, and a seat is had which is at least
as comfortable as a bicycle saddle.
All of these strange umbrellas come
from the old world. The umbrella
makers say that Europeans take much
more pride in their umbrellas than
do people in this country. Many little
Jokes sre concealed In the umbrella
handles there. A handle may present
the appearance of the head of a mon
key or a cat or some other animal, and
a secret spring will cause the little
creature to open Its mouth and spurt a
drop of cologne on the beholder.
Sunshine In Europe.
According to a recent report issued
by the French bureau of agriculture,
Spain, and not Italy, should have the
adjective "sunny" placed before It. On
the average, It Is said, Spain enjoys
about 3,000 hours of sunshine a year,
while Italy has 2,300. France has al
most as much sunshine as Italy, her
figures being 2,200. Germany has at
her disposal no more than 1,700 hours;
while England, the land of fogs, has to
get along with 1,400, less than half of
Spain's amount.
