The day on the bridge begins early. At
6 o’clock in the morning the cars 11931“ W
run under a minute and a half, headway.
The crowds pour in and whatisk'now'n as
the “rush hours” begin. Thesearehours
of hard work for every one, from the
superintendent of theroad downto the
humblest brakeman. The little dummy
engines that run the three cartr‘ain's‘rfrom
the station out to the point-wheflj-tlijc
cable connects with the grip rush-beck-
ward and forward, pulling and'suorting
and making a tremendous amount "of
noise. . .
This is at 7:30 on the Brooklyn sldje'.
About 75,000 New York-business menand
workmen, who use Brooklyn as a bed-
room, 3 _
selves into New York. At 7:45th
is at high tide. At t'tvo Sgliios'j
boxes within the spot where 'f '
out tickets and make change, m‘stal-
wart men stand to see that every placeh-
ger deposits a ticket. These men needto
be‘ alert and quick eyed, for 200 persons
per minute are passing by these two glass
ticket boxes. It may seem easy work to
watch 12,000 tickets per hour dropped in-
to a glass box, but the guards say. it has
the effect of giving one the vertigo 3. ._ .
From 7 o'clock until 8:30 the stream-of
humbly clad shop girls and working-
women and men is kept steadily up, and
some twenty odd thousand passengers are
carried over the river.“ Three cars start
each minute and a half, but iniIthe sec-
ends that they .are at a standstill ' ' .'_'

humanity. This rush is kept up until
9:30 o’clock, after whichvthere'is-a lull,"
the number of passengers 11mg the '
ticket offices falling gradually from 118,000
to 6,000 per hour. 'Approaching neon it -

Of course these figuresjdeal‘ simply with
the railway. The footpath is less Won-
ized now‘ than fermerly. There were
354,304 lessfperson's' .who used it last year
than the year before, despite the'fact that
any one who wishes to buy tickets by the
bunch may walk over the bridge and get
the finest. views imaginable for .the not
astounding .‘sn'm or r'one-ufth ofjil‘l‘. cent.
The 'footway is popular only on very mild
days, when it is the resort favored of-good
looking nurses with distracting. French
caps, who wheel baby carriages and ad-
mire the big policemen. The receipts-of
the footvvsy last year amounted toj's‘ome-
thing over $16,000, which would scarcely
pay its expenses, and it has been proposed
to make it free. This will scarcely» be
done, for making it free would be throw-
ing it Open to tramps or worse charac-
ters, . and making an increase of police
necessary.
The bridge railroad last year carried
27,940,313 persons, an'incrsase of 3,911,-
046 over the year before, and the receipts
in money from it were $768, 768.79. The
fare is three cents per passage or ten
tickets for twenty-five cents. The general
average of passengers upon the bridge
road is about 90,000 per day, but upon
foggy days, when the ferries are ob-
structed, the figures sometimes reach 125,-
000. In other words enough people pass
over the Brooklyn bridge every day in the
cars to populate three or four towns out
west, elect a few congressmen, build
several railroads, get up corners in wheat
and pork and bring out a presidential can-
didate.
sorts MORE s‘rA'risncs.
But there are some more statistics with
which not one person in a hundred even
of those who cross the bridge daily are ac-
quainted and familiar. One million forty-
seven thousand nine hundred and sixty-
eight vehicles crossed the bridge during
last year. Each vehicle is estimated to
carry three passengers. This estimateis
taken by reason of the number of funerals
that daily pass on their way to Green-
wood, the great “City of the Dead.” The
receipts from vehicles were $65,743.26.
The total receipts were $850, 724.23. It
may be interesting to know, too, that the
cars during the last year made 2,171,484
single trips and traveled 2,442,470 miles.
In other words, had the tracks of the
bridge continued right around the world
the bridge cars would have girded the
world pretty nearly 100 times.
.The bridge cost $15,000,000. It is
worm 11., one «Luau-u». ynk- 1...: 4PM
Its sources of revenue are various. The
stone arches under its approaches havebeen
walled up and are rented as ware houses.
It charges the telephone and telegraph
companies for laying wires on the bridge.
The total income for the bridge from all
sources for the year was $938,281.21, and
the net profits were $323,864.56. It has
been necessary to lay out most of this
sum, however, in rolling stock and in pay-
ments for real estate. Exactly 2,070,600
lives of humanity were conveyed across
the East river in 1887 without asingle
life being lost. 'That is true enough to
be startling, and startling enough to be
untrue. However, it is true! When you
consider that for a part of the day trains
are running but a minute and a half
apart, and carrying 12,000 passengers per
hour, and that even at the dullest part
of the day they are but a couple of min.
utes apart, this record is simply amaz-
ing—New York Mail and Express.
What Killed the Emperor.
The immediate cause of the cold which
proved fatal to the Emperor William was
an accident which happened to him on the
night of Saturday, March 3. His physi-
cian, Dr. von Lauer, had expressly warned
him against attempting to leave his bed
without assistance; but in order to spare
his personal attendants, who were in an
adjoining room, the emperor ventured to
disregard the injunction. He got out of
bed safely, but when he was endeavoring
to return his strength failed him and he
fell to the floor. He was unable to raise
himself, and ere his attendants entered
the room he had contracted a severe chill.
They did what they could for the em-
peror’s comfort, but he laughed at the
mishap, and only besought them: “Don’t
say a word to Lauer!”—St. James’ Ga-
zette.
He Wouldn't Tell Her.

Robert, what pleasure you find in smok-
ing cigars.

(‘utching Runaway Slaves.
I learned yesterday a. historical canine
fact, which will, I fancy, be as new to
some of my readers as it was to me. A
negro stcvcdore, as strapping and power—
ful a. fellow usI have seen for a good
while, fell into conversation in my pres-
once with a bulldog, remarking that he .
had a great fondness for dumb animals.
He seemed to greet the dog as an old
friend, and be displayed considerable fa-
miliarity with that kind of beast. Nat-
urally I joined in the talk, and the man
told me that down in North Car’lina,
where he was a slave in slave days, bull-
dogs, sometimes white and sometimes
brindle, were trained to catch runaway
or refractory “niggers” by the neck. And
they did it so nicely, he said, as not to
break the 'skin or soil the captive’s shirt
collar; they would hang on until told by
their masters to let go, but without doing
any injury—Boston Post.
Earthquakes Versus Nerves.
Many persons who experienced the
earthquake in the Riviera have since
suffered seriously from nervous shock,
although they did not at the time appear
to be greatly disturbed. This indicates
that more injury may be done to the
nerves by an undue excitement thanis
perceived at the time. The nerve centers
may, as an English medical journal sug—
gests, be likened to batteries, and re-
garded as apt to be discharged suddenly
and sometimes unconsciously; and when
once their residual stock of energy is com
sume'd it.can be restored only after a long
time and by the exercise of extreme care.

Japan‘s Foreign Improvements.
The regeneration which Japan has in
recent years experienced, through the in-
troduction of foreign improvements, is
credited to the United States. While
eminent Frenchmen have been called in
to organize the army, Germans the schools
and English the navy, to Americans have
been given the supervision of the. depart-
ments of finance, postofilce, telegraphs,
railroads, telephones and lighting by
electricity, embracing the newer and more
progressive arts. American institutions
are in high favor in Japan, with the
possible exception of modern politics and
baseball.--—Cincinnati Commercial Ga-
zette.
The Fatal Camera.
' It is said that the body of a man with
his head twisted off was found in an alley-
way back of a Chicago photograph
gallery. The coroner’s jury brought in a
verdict of “found dead,” but they cen-
sured the photographer for not being more
careful when posing his customers—New

Twenty or more varieties of grapes. are
usedtomake port wine. For the most
part they are black, thick'lskinned and
pulpy, yielding an ample fiowfof. saccha-
rine must. Arrived at the? press house
they are at once shot into the marries—im-
meuse receptacles constructed of solid ma-
sonry, with sides 'about' three feet high,
and holding enough grapes to produce
from ten to thirty pipes of wine. When
the logare is filled the grapes are leveled
with a hoe, and a gang of men is told ‘of!
to tread them.
' The wearisome operation of treading is
begun by men, who» step into the lagares
with their white pants rolled up to the
thigh, and their arms rébting on_ each
other’s shoulders. With measured {tsps
they advance and retire across the l‘agare,
raising and lowering their feet alternately
at the word of command, “right," “left,"
as though at- squad drill. Asthe juice
flows, and the fruit is reduced to a pulp,
a livelier movement follows. A fiddler

THE FIRST TREADING.
The “sovar o vinho,” or first treading,
is kept up with occasional halts and re—
lavs Of fresh men for about eighteen
hours. After a long interval the treading
is resumed. .The fiddle strikes up anew,
the drum rattles, the fife squeaks, the
guitar twangs, the overseers drowsily up-
brnid. By this time the grapes are pretty
well trodden, and the men, being nearly
worn out, listlessly lift one purple dyed
leg after another far into the watches of
the night. In testing the quality of the
mash a large white convex saucer is used.
One of the treaders balancing himself on
one brawny leg and holding up the other
allows the liquid to drip from off his bed
into the saucer. This is tasted 'nnd the
amount of sugar determined by the saccha-
romctcr. This instrument also indicates,
after the trending is completed and the
juice is left to ferment, when the latter
process has gone far enough. The
stalks and skins of the' ' grapes
form a thick crust on the top of
the must, which is then drawn 03
into large tonels holding ; from ten to
thirty pipes each; the superincumbent
mass of stalks and skins is heaped up in
the center of the lagare, and the juice re:
maining in them isésqueez'ed out by the
leverage of a huge beam of wood, usually
the trunk of a tree weighted with a large
stone. The wine: thus obtained is sepa-
rately casked and kept by itself, as its
quality is not up to theaverage mark.
Until the end of December the wine re-
mains undisturbed. By that time it has
cleared and has a deep purple tint. It is
then drawn off its lees into other tonels,
when some pure grape brandy is'added to’
it. Empty pipes are sent up from Oporto
in the ensuing spring to the quintas,
where ,the wine is duly racked under the
eyes of the shipper's agents. " These pipes
are transported by bullock carts to the
Douro, where fiat bottomed crafts carry.
them down the stream, which is swift
and difficult of navigation, and rendered
still more dangerous by numerous rapids.
Their destination is: the (wine: shipper's

A Cheap Fireproof Stable.
A correspondent of The Hartford Cour-
ant relates what beam in Emmott,»
Germany. The loft of a stable had
burned out, and he asked for the horses,
thinking that they must all have per-l
? ‘ished, but he was assured that they
were in the stable and all right, for no
smoke not heat could touch them.
After everything .was burned in the
loft, he made an inspection, and found
that the stable was practically fireproof.
They had in its- construction used old
railroad ties, placing them three and a
half to four feet apart, and then put
arched co tedvirou between the-rues,
and filled in with a mixture of cinders
and lime, making it deep enough to pro-
tect the. ties. The, trap or door to reach
the loft was made of sheet‘ iron, filled in
with the same compound. This kind of
fireproofing is very cheap and, according
to the writer, is very eflcctlvc;~=scientific'

linking an Artificial silk.
Chardonner recently announced to the
French Academy of, Sciences the results of
his experiments in) making an artificial
silk, ~which are certainly of a remarkably
ingenious nature. To a solution of nitro
cellulose (gun cotton) in alcohol and
ether is added a solution of ferr-
nose chloride in alcohol and also some
alcoholic solution of tannin. The liquid
thus obtained is ejected from» fine ducts,
like the apparatus in a silk worm: As the
thread comes from the duct it is received
in water acidulated with nitric acid, from
which it is drawn out, dried 5 rapidly and
reeled up. It can be ,obtainedofany color

NAVAJO TRADITION.
HOW ALL ANIMAL LIFE WAS CON'
FINED IN A CAVERN.
Freedom First Found by I Locust—The
Badger Follows—Prlsoners Free at Last.
Dispute Concerning Ih'e Use of Night
and Day.
The Navajo Indians of Arizona have a
tradition to the effect that while the earth
was young muldesmute of animal life
the Great Spirit created twelv’e people—
six men and six women—together with
many species of animals, and confined
them in acuvern of the San Francisco
mountain, where they lived as a great,
happy family for many years. But in
course of time a restlessness possessed
the prisoners. Though thcyhad known
nothing of freedom, all felt the oppres—
‘ sion of their narrow limits, and vaguely
yearned fora greater fulfillment of the
dream or reality of living. But what
could they do? All speculated on the
situation to no purpose. Daily they jos-
tled each other, little and big, clumsy and
nimble, hipeds and quadrupcds, feathered
and furred, winged and Wingless, timid
and bold. Every successive period of
time was but a repetition of the past.
OPENING Tim WAY OUT.
None of the many puzzled brains could
offer means of breaking the monotony,
till a happy thought struck one of the
most insignificant of the living mass.
For want of other occupation a lootist
bored 11 hole in the wall and thereby
opened the way for the enthusiasm and
progress of the host of its comrades
throughout the length and breadth of
their underground world. The Great
Spirit had so decreed it. They were there
only for. a time of incubation. At the
destined hour, as the eagiet bursts the
shell that imprisons it, so the locust’s tiny
Inn-row should lead to the escape of all
into the open world, where each could fol-
low his inclinations unhampered.
The laboring locust had but asolitary
witness. A badger watched with growing
anmsement the diminutive tunnel making.
iiis eyes sparkled with interest as the
locust labored energetically. He lay-rest-
ing with his head between his fore paws
in a most lazy attitude, but his face ex-
pressed animation and eagerness not much
longer to be retained. As the tail of the 10-
cust disappeared the time for exertion had
come. To follow the locust’s movements
further necessitated like energy. The
locust’s hole was too small for the
badgcr’s access, so he started a tunnel
making of his own. By the time he
reached the locust he was in no mood to
give up the chase, so he passed on,
scratching his way through the solid
earth until he broke through the outer
crust of the mountain, and in the joy and
' excitement of the moment he sprang into
the ample space before him. The moun-
tain side was steep, and he “landed " in
the shallow edge of the lake in Monte-
zuma valley. As he fell his fore feet
struck deep into the mire, and his progeny
even unto today have inherited black fore
paws because of this incident of the
world’s first peopllng.
The Navajoes within the cavern, noting
the departure of the badger, began a
prospect. Finding the hole large enough
for exit, they crept out, one after the
other, and a train of all sizes and species
of animals followed in their wake, us from
Noah’s ark.
FRIGHTENED THEM AWAY.
As soon as all the prisoners were free,
fire and smoke began to issue from the
hole that had delivered them. This
frightened them far away into the valley,
and there they prepared to make them-
selves comfortable and live as their new _
advantages permitted. Food was plentiful
in vegetable forms, but some varieties
needed heat to make them good. At
least the Nuvujoes thought so, but they
had no means of kindling a fire. This
, difficulty was soon overcome by sendinga
hat, a wolf and a squirrel after the
needed element, fire. Going to a hole in
the mountain, the wolf tied some pitchy
, splinters to his tail, then turned and held
i it over the little volcano till it began to
smoke and ignite. The but then fanned
‘ it into flames with its wings and the
squirrel curried it away to the Navajoes.
The people were delighted at getting the
one missing essential to a happy life in
the open world, and when, long after, a
time came when the world’s plenty had
§ pampered their wills and fostered their
; greed and selfishness to the point of
prcying upon their fellow creatures for
food, they still had the honor to vow
never to eat wolf or squirrel flesh.
Neither would they move camp without
a live coal among their possessions. And
even today the Navajoes’ gratitude to the
trio is observed as the promise made to
the fire gutters of the tradition.
Between the Nuvajoes and different ani-
mals there sprang up a dispute over the
Great Spirit’s intended use for night and
day. All agreed that one should -be.spent
in sleep and one in 'action, but which
should serve the one and which the other!
It was settled at last. Those that wished
to room at night should do so and sleep by
day, and vice versa. The heroic badger
g was among those who chose the mysteries
~ of the darkness or the immediate down
5 and dusk for,thought and action and the
bright and sunny hours as fit to. he slept
away in his cool underground nest.
the sun sank in the west upon their busi-
ness meeting, the owl, bat, moth, and
many other animals scattered out into the
valley borders on their foraging exploits,
while many kinds of birds flew to roost in
the trees. Other animals lay down to
sleep in sheltered parts of the forest, and
the Navajocs spread their waterproof
blankets, the trophies of the women’s in-
dustry, and enjoyed. their couches under
the starry sky in peaceful dreams. —0ver-

The Great Actor's Methods.
Clara Morris. in speaking of actors and
acting recently, said: “The’really great
actor must- be capable of doing something
more than to merely touch the biggest
fool of the audience. He must make his
audience absolutely forgetful of itself and
he himself the direct and not the indirect
cause of the emotional state into which it
is thrown. To do this the actor must he
himself a person of intense feeling and
must for the time at least experience e
emotion he is seeking to portray. Rea y
great acting is a matter of feeling rather
than of reasoning intelligence, and I
doubt whether an actor who studies and
puzzles over the subtleties of the author’s
meaning is not in danger of checking the
manifestations of- his own histriouic sense.
No amount of art can make up the want
of one real touch of nature.”—New York
Herald.
