RAIN AND MICROBES.
Effect of o Downpour Upon Waters of
the Potomac River.
A scientist of the Public Health
and Marine Hospital Service, while
examining the Potomac River, has
made an interesting obse1'3aiion on
the effect of rain in increasing the
number of microbes in that stream.
After a hard rain. lasting se3e1al da3s.
it was found that tho microbes were
about six times as numerous in Po-
compo water as they were before the
rain, and when fair weather set in
again the number of microbes rapidly
decreased. The increase, it. is believ-
ed. came from both the air and the.
land, but in this case. fortunately. the
microbes were all of harmless species.

OLD~TIME STREET CALLS.
How many of us can remember the
long ago days when the “Bellman"
hunted for a lost child? "Ding. dong!"
said the bell, and “Inst child!" said
the man. "Jiad on a pink apron and
11 green sunbonnet! Last seen follow-
ing a band-organ 1111111 with 11 monkey.
going down Market street this after-
noon. Ding. dong! Ding. dong!”
By and by the bell is heard by the
good soul who is giving the. little child
her s11 ler and trying to comfort her.
says the Newark Call. Then the bell-
man picks her 1111 in his arms and car-
ries her home to her mother.
The rsgmau's bells are antique
enough, but in the old days he used
his voice, too. and called “Rags! An3
rags today?" The chimney—sweep
came along in his sooty regimentals.
an old silk hat on his head and 11
birch broom over his shoulder. “Sweep
0! Sweep 0! Sweep 0! 0!" A happy
go-lucky fellow he. was. but he did
his work well and was quite a neces-
sary factotum.
Next came the charcoal man. 11
white 1111111 usually, but you would not
know it, and he cried "Charcoal; Char-
coal! Charcoal!" each in a different
key and louder than the. last.
Here comes the man who has clams
to sell. He is a black man and sings
his wares to a rhyme like this:
"Oh! clams, line clams. fine clams I
say.
Oh! clams. flue clams. flue. clams to-
day.
They‘re good to slew;
fry.
'l‘lley're good
pie."
"’l‘luware to men! Tiuwarc to mend!
Old pots, pans and kettles mode as
good as new. 'l‘inware. to mend, to
mend!” cried the linker. “Umbrellas
to mend!" was another familiar cry.
One old fellow had a very poor voice.
so his wife used to take one side of
the street and cry in a high falsetto
voice. “Umbrellas to mend!" while he.
on the other side, would say: “l'lu
the boy as can do it."
Another traveling merchant was the
man who mended broken windows.
and his cry was. "Glass put in!” Next
comes the peddler with “Pie apples!
Here they go.” (They were always
pie apples in those days.) Or it was,
“Strawberries, strawberries! ” or “Ripe
mellow peaches." or “Sweet Caro-
llnas," according to the season.
The. ilsbman blew his horn and the
cats, as well as the housewives, knew
the sound of it.
On summer nights you might hear
the ice cream man with his little
wagon and bell. “Lemon-ice-cream!"
he cried. and little children ran out
for a penny's worth, which was meas
ured out in a wineglass.
So the peddler plied his trade.
broken ribs in umbrellas were mended.
old pots and pans made good as new.
chimneys cleascd and rugs sold; scis-
sors ground and glass put in, while
fish and clam pot-pie was the main
dish on Friday. Most of these noisy
vendors are gone and all that survive
have lost their voices under city
ordinances.

WONDERS OF NEW YORK BY
NIGHT.
(Harper's Magazine.)
lly whatever route yell reach or
leave Manhattan Island in the even-
ing. the river lights are beautiful. 0n
the North River the spectacle varies
according to the hour and the season.
for the downtown lights in Manhattan
are more numerous when the days are
short and the tenants of the great
buildings have to light up to finish
their day‘s work. Across from the
lower Jersey ferries late in the after-
noon of a winter day glow and sparkle
the great company of tall shafts group-
ed against the sky, each one pierced
to the top with regular rows of shin-
lug windows. A memorable sight they
make. those shafts and huge blocks
of gleaming holes, reaching far above
their neighbors that come between
them and the river. There is much
in that spectacle to recompense 11
tired man for being a commuter, and
nowhere else on earth is there the,
like of it.
And beside the tall shafts and the
intervening lower lights. and the glow
of the streets that run to the river
lights—the ferryboats with their long
rows of bright windows. hurrying on
their various courses; the Sound
steamers going out; other steamers
coming in; all manner of lights more
sober on all manner of shipping; the
street glare and the ferry-house and
wharf lights ashore; and higher'up.

cial but none the less radiant adver-
tising signs.
The down-town office building lights
go out early—most of them—but up
the river some of the tall up-town ho-
tels continue all the evening in spite of
curtained windows, to be lighthouses.
0n the East River, besides the city
lights and the river lights, are the
high, curving bridges. very striking
and beautiful with their unobstructed
outlines marked by the Slow of these
electric bulbs. There is poetry in
these river lights. bordered and from

It is a matter of pride with women nowadays to be provided with Waists for summer wear, not only for
the comfort they get by Wearing thin Walsts on warm summer days. but also because they are to be had in

an unlimited supply of this very useful part of the wardrobe. Having made our preparations for the spring
