Thus was slower scene on the lowary
a dayorwo ago. when uneot theelothing
houses gave away 1,000 overcoat: to poor
boys, demanding a quarter from each boy,
for some reason not clearly ex-
plained The little miss who sell the
papers got most of them. Pomibly you
think thatquandthatthey would
besnug and warm this winter. Welhl
don‘t“ know. They are, beyond and above
all other, the strangest part of our popu-
lation. They are like little rats or foxes.
Their 0118:; a; easy to get at; ”I?! are the
“eve, of ”open, vast
bonds, and Oftbe squalid tenement dis-
tricts. Thurman either have no homes
“Mdon'tgoto them, butllveln ledg
lugs, newsbogs homes, and in wagons,
garrets, cellars and the general poke holes
of the city. The bootblacks are their
brothers and chums, and live in the
way.
Their stoves are the gratings over boilers
under the streets; their dissipation is at—
tendance of the galleries of the cheapest
variety shows; their best fun is found in
lighting.
“They are wild beasts," said the clerk
in the publication onlce of a newspaper
the other day. ”They are devoid of affec-
tion and gratitude. They swear at you if
you speak kindly to them, run away from
you if you offer them advice, jeer at you
if you are well dressed and pass a group
of them If we take pity on them and in-
vite them into the press room in cold
weather they break the windows, hack
the woodwork and even go so far as to
take stones or weights and break the
heaviest iron work. While they wait in
the office to buy papers they dig trenches
in the counters with the steel pens and
break the holders in two. One day one of
the clerks gave one of these boys 0. good
derby hat that he had tired of. Another
clerk asked the boy why he did not say
‘Thank you. ’ ‘A- -n- -,a-h ’ the boy replied
‘go chuck your mother overboard.
‘What are you going to do with the hatl’
the clerk asked. ‘Sell it in Baxter street
for fifteen cents,’ he replied ‘and play
cruso wld do money.’ "—Julian Ralph's
\‘ew York Letter.
Proof of the Earth's Motion.
Any one can prove the rotary motion of.
the earth on its axis by a simple experi-
ment. '
Take a good sized bowl, till it nearly
full of water, and place it upon the floor
of a room which is not exposed to shaking
or jarring from the street.
Sprinkle over the surface of the water a
coating of lycopodiuni powder, a white
substance, which is sometimes used for
the purposes of the toilet, and which can
be obtained at almost any apothecary’s.
Then, upon the surface of this coating of
powder, make; with powdered charcoal. a
straight, black line, say an inch or two
inches in length.
Having made this little black mark
with the charcoal powder on the surface
of the contents of, the bowl, lay down
upon the floor, close to the bowl, a stick
or some other straight object, so that it, .
shallbeexactly parallel With the mark.
If the line happens to be parallel with a
crack in the floor. or with any stationary
object in the room. this will serve as well.
heave the bowl undisturbed for a few
hours, and then observe the "union of 7
the black mark with reference to the 01} ‘
ject that itjvas parallel with.
It will be found to have moved about.
and to have moved from east to west,
that is to any, in that direction opposite
to that of the movement of the earth on
its axis.
The earth, in simply revolving. has
carried the water and everything else in
the bowl around with it. but the powder
on the surface has been left behind a
little. The line will always be found to
. have moved from east to west, which is
perfectly good proof that everything else
has moved the other way—German
Journal.
Society in Washington.
There was a big ball at the British le-
gation last night, and the thousand win-
dows of the great palace glitters-d and
glowed. The picture of Victoria, at the
head of the landing. looked down on the
throng, and looked like old Mother Eng-
land pronouncing n benediction on her
American children. Sir Lionel Sackville
West, the British minister, is one of the
most popular in Washington. He is fond
of society, and entertains a great deal.
To-nigbt there is to be a cabinet dinner
at the White House, and the president
and Mrs. Cleveland will wine and dine
the various ministers. As I write this
the White House gardeners are taking
the plants from the conservatories and
putting them in the various corridors,
and more than $1, 000 worth of flowers
have been used in decoration I wish I
could describe to you some of the dishes
which will appear on that White House
table. The terrapin stew would make
your mouth water, and you would feel
like the boy with his nose against the
glass of the candy window, as you read of
the pate dc fol gras and other French
dishes. You will not, however, have the
headaches of tomorrow, and, nsnrule,
the man who makes the most out of a big
dinner is he who declines the invitation.—
Carpenter's Letter.
To Keep Plants in Winter.
A new principle for keeping plants
through the winter without artificial heat
was recently shown at Regent's park.
London, with the plants grown in them
last winter. The essence of the invention
is that all light and heat shall previously
pass through a shallow layer of water.
The water is found to exercise great con—
trol over temperature, protecting plants
entirely from frost in winter and
from excessive direct heat in summer
The application involves no difficulty. In
the case of a garden frame a slidingm
“water light, ” about three inches deep,is
made to fit over the frame containing the
plants, the only dlderence from a glass
light being that it holds water and is al-
ways placed in a flat position The depth
ofwater generallykeptlnthetankia
about two inches in summer and winter,
and half the depth in spring and autumn.
