baby was watching for him. and after three
or four days the boy made hold to slip up
the steps and pat the little chap on the head
and leave the stick of candy he had pur-
chased two miles away. As time went on
Jack came to know that the baby was father-
lcu. and that its mother was pale-faced and
hardly able to drag about. It was weeks
before she spoke to him. but the baby took
to Jack right away and was always ready
for his coming. After the first week it was
alwltys clean-faced. but it was :a good
while before Jack‘ roused up the courage to
give him a kin and to ask for one in return.
After that it was plain sailing. and the
neighbors became interested. It was queer
enough that a boy like Jack. having his own
way to make and roughing it until he had
become suspicious and hard-hearted. should
catch on to a little Whitehead. and be more?
than a big brother to him. but that was
what happened.

And something more. One day he
brought up a quarter of a pound of tea and
left it where the'mother would find it. and
this was followed by other parcels and
articles. One day he missed the baby and
crept into the hall to find that he had cried
himself to sleep and that the mother w ill

THE NEW YORK GHETTO.

 

The New York cor-mpondent of the 'lkoy
flutes has been around among the humbler
Jewish population of Gotham. and saysthat
the tenement houses rented to this clam
prove gold mines to their owners. He
writes : “ One of the first features of life in
this New York Ghetto is the rent charged
these unfortunate people. I noted down
the rents paid in one building. and find that

income derived from the miserable

ruokeries of this neighborhood is greater
than that produced by firstwlass brown stone
houses up~town near Fifth avenue. For in-
stance. in my note book 1 find the statistics
concerning the house No. 63 Forsyth street.
The lot is twentydive feet wide by 100 feet
deep. the regulation city lot. Fronting on
the street ‘is a tenement twenty~five feet
wide by fifty feet deep and six stories high ;
then comes a yard twenty-five feet aware.
and then a éroar tenement facing on the
yard. five stories high. twenty~fivc feet wide
and twenty-five feet deep. The front tene-
ment has quarters for four families on each
floor. two on the front and two on the rear.
each apartment consisting of one light
room. twelve feet by fifteen. and one dark
room in the war. about eight by ten feet.
The only ventilation of this dark room. or
big cloSet. called a bedroom. comes from
the living room through the open door. or
from the hallway through a little window in
the partition. In the rear tenement each
floor contains two families. the “ apart

and a dark room in the rear.

tion, the plaster down. the stairs rickety.

water only in the inclement. the other ten-
ants having to pump it up into a dark sink
upon ouch landing. The stench from the
yard was overpowering. the rear tenants of
the front building and all the occupants of
the back building having no other air to
breathe. The rents paid for these “ apart~
merits “ was $9 a month on the first floor.
$8 on the second. 37.50 on the third. *7
on the fourth. $6.50 on the fifth. and $6 on
the sixth. Anyone who takes the trouble to
make the «articulation will find that the
monthly income from the property must be
about $250. After paying all expenses of
collecting rents. repairs. and taxes. the
owner must receive about 33.500 a year for
these houses. through which muons not
accustomed to such sights could not walk
without shuddering.

A COIIDY OF ERRORS.

In a homeward~bound Bay View car. the
other evening. sat four passengers contigu.
an: to each other—two middle-aged ladies. a
gentlemanof about the same stages of life.
and a young girl. They were evidently all
strangers. Now. it happened as a curious
coincidence that the three first-mentioned
passengers were the posseuors of a bundle
each. in due and appearance almost exactly
alike; and, somehow or other. these pack.
ages had all got together. One of the
ladies alighted. forgetting in her hate her
parcel. but was soon reminded of the hot
.by the accommodating young lady. who
handed a parcel‘to her. with which she
hurricdolthankfully. Whenthc car had
traversed a couple of blocks. the other lady
made the horrifying discovery that her
bundle was the one which the first had
taken. The car wasatoppcd in short order.
and.witha withering look at her young
fellow-passenger. she coined what she sup-

his smile, for he had ‘dhcovcrcd that his

country in which prevails a hotel system

In reply it may be explained that the un
feed hotel servants are tolerably civil. and
that is all. The negro visitors are usually
obliging fellows-to be obliging is charm»
teristic of their race——but when the waiter
is white he is usually an Irishman. and he
takes care. when unfecd. to make the travel-
ing Englishman aware of that portentous
fact. The foreign guest at first 'exults in
finding hotels wherein there is no fixed
charge per diem for attendance. and where.

But in process of time the traveling Briton
is oppressed with a growing idea of being
neglected and uncomfortable. and by the
unmy sensation that there are those among
his fellow guests who are faring better than
he is. Byend-by some American acquain-

There is now living. about four. miles
west of Riley. in Indiana. a family. iwbieh
for mmvenionee we will call Jones. E The
resident there about will readily rem be
the family. Mrs. Jones has for a oonsi er-
sble time had in her employ a buxom lam.
Sallie by name. a lassie of pleading appean
suce and fine form. and withal. a woman
who would make a wife that any manmight
be proud of. Sallie thought she would
nake an admirable farmer‘s housewife. {and
unagined she mw her way so to do. But
the foudest hopes are oftimes dashed to
pieces when we least expect an accident.
For two months Mm Jones has been confin-
ed to her room by a disease which bafiledthe
skill of all the physicians. No weeks ago
the doctor gave the woman up for dead and
so did all the relatives and the husband of the
unfortunate lady. Day by day she. weaken-
ed and slowly drew near the shadow of the
valley. where she bade her friends goodby
and prepared to go the way of her ancestors.
Ouc bright morning Sallie came into the
bedruuu and announced to Mrs. Jones that
as herend was nigh she thought she would
inform her she had entered into an arrange-
ment whereby she was at‘the proper time to
become the mistress of Mr. Jones‘ estate and
followed up the announcement by asking
her to blesagthe union. But Mrs. Jones did

WONDERS OF THE YELLOWS'I‘ONI-

A correspondent of the London flutes.
writing from the Yellowstone Park. says:
“ A half-mile further northward across the
Fireholc River. and near its bank. is the
greatest geyser in the world-the ‘ Giant!
lthasabrokencone that is set upon the
almost level surface. but the enclosing
formation has fallen away on one side. the
interior being lined with brilliant colors.
like ‘a tessellated pavement. This is a
rather uncertain geyser. but goes of! usually
about once in four days. and generally near
sunset. To see the outburst is the greatest
show of this exu'aonlinary place. but the
' Giant ‘ though slow in moving is accom.
modating and gives ample notice. the ‘ Lit-
tle Devils ' adjoining. and a vent in 0 side
of the crater. boiling and bubbling for some
fime before it sends up its enormous col-
umn. which plays an hour and a half. This
huge outburst comes like a tornado. and its
stream of water. when in opcrrttiuu. runs

 

 

 

into ‘and more than doubles the current of“

the river. The column. fully 8 feet in
diameter. risaa 250 feet at first. and is after-
ward maintained at 200 foot. The noise all
the time is deafening. the ‘ surmounting
steam making immense clouds that seem to
cover half the valley. The column goes up
perfectly erect. and falls back around the
cone. deluging everything with hot water.
'Such a sight is worth much fatigue and a
long journey. Near the ‘ Giant ‘ is a cur.
face of elastic silieioua matter. assembling
glue. laid out in beds about an inch thick.
which rebounds like india-rubher when trod
upon. It is of bright colorswgrun. red.
yellow. and white.“

“What dothcy want with so much of ill
Dcthey burn it or use it in the tanneriesf"

“There is the interesting point. The
stufi won‘t burn worth a cent. It is hem-
lock bark. It is something used in tan—
narlca. but you can‘t imagine that all that
comes up the river is usedin making leather.
The tan-yards would hardly hold it in stacks."
. “Then what becomes of it ?“

“It is used as an adulteration for beer.
largo quantics of it are ground up and ship—
ped to other points. Chicago brewers can
stand to make pure beer. and guess they do
it. but the bark is fixed up here and sent to
other places. I suppose you know that
blowers do not now report the ingredients
of which their beer is made, as they once
did. The courts have decided that they are
not compelled to do so. I have made some
casual inquiries and I learn that tan-bark
and soda areythe principal substances used.
A little rice malt gives it body and makes it
hold a foam. Hemlock is a new discovery
in this respect andis useful because it takes

and hops. It is not poisonous. but it cer-
tainly cannot contain any nutriment. It
adds the pungent. bitter taste and gives the
dark; reddish color to the liquid. It is very
cheap and the brewers who use it must grow
rich very fast ——(7Nrago Tribune 4
