Th circulation ia controlled mainly
by tha action of the heart. When the
activity of this organ ia increased, there
fore the general circulation will be im
proved. Now, the heart ia stimulated
to action by the presence of blood in its
cavities, and muscular exercise, by has
tening the flow of venous blood, will be
instrumental in sending more fluid
through them in a given period of time,
and consequently in stimulating the or

AN EXCITING RIDE.
A BaUst Riddled Cab RoealU aa Incl
dent of the Tevrlbl Draft Riots.
While passing tha Metropolitan hotel a
few days aso my attention waa attracted
by an old and dilapidated looking oab that
stood in the long line of carriages in front
of the hotel waiting for fares. It seemed
so out of place among t he twenty or more
well kept vehicles that I waa about to ask
the driver, an old man, why he did not
paint it up a little, when he anticipated my
question by saying: "I suppose you are
wondering how I manage to make a living
with this old cab when I have to compete
with such One looking vehicles as one sees
on Broadway. I don't know just how I
manage to do it myself, but I make a fair
living, and somehow or other I have al
ways neglected to get it painted.
"There is a story connected with it, and
if you come this way some time again I'll
tell ittoyou."
Niblo's bad hot yet opened Its doors, and
.offering the old man a cigar I pressed him
to tell the yarn.
"Do you see those little boles in the
backf .Well, they were made by bullets,
and the ride during which the old cab was
riddled was the most exciting one i ever
had in thirty years' experience. It hap
pened during the draft riots, una morn
ing early I was down near the Battery.
There had been rumors of trouble for sev
eral days, and we expected it every mo
ment
"A gentleman who came down town told
me that the rioters were out in force at
last, and thinking that my cab, which was
then new, was safer in the stable, I started
np Broadway. Near Canal street I heard
an awful shouting, and aa I reached the
corner I saw an army officer running to
ward Broadway followed by a mob of fully
six hundred men and boys. I started to
drive away, bnt aa I saw the mob gaining
on him I stopped and shouted to him to
Jump into the cab.
'He just reached It in time. Aa be
pulled the door shut the leader of the mob
reached the cab and tried to .open the door.
I heard the report of a pistol and saw the
pursuer fall with a bullet in his brain.
Then we started. My horse was a spirited
one, and although be went faster that day
than ever before iu bis life the mob con
tinued to keep pace with us. They soon
began to fire at us and in less than five
minutes the rear end looked like a sieve.
The army officer then took a hand in the
pistol practice and the way he dropped the
rioters was a caution. Before we reached
Grand street I believe he shot at least ten
men, and seeing that they were only tar
gets they finally stopped and we got away.
"The officer gave me aou and the ride I
had to take was worth every cent of the
sum."
The old cab driver stopped talking, a
gentleman and lady left the hotel, and
after looking at tbe well kept carriages.
stepped into tbe bullet riddled cab, gave
the order, 'Grand Central depot," and lna
moment the old time vehicle was rattling
up Broadway. Xew York Telegram.
Points on Etiquette for Mea.
There are observances needed to give
grace and finish to a man's demeanor. One
of these is the prompt removal of the hat,
not only when meeting an acquaintance on
the street or on coming into the house, but
at other times in a horse car, when ten
dering a seat to a lady and when she ac
knowledges the kindness by bow or word.
in an elevator or a hotel corridor when a
woman is present, and when kissing a
woman, be she only one'a wife, sister or
daughter. '
There are other things which every man
ongbt to know trifles, perhapa, but of
consequence in making or marring tbe
ease of others. Among them are tbe grace
ful customs of rising when a lady enters
the room and remaining standing until
she ia seated; of opening tbe door for a
lady and then stepping aside while she en
ter or leaves the room. '
Among the small but unpleasant man
nerisms which vex tbe housewife's soul is
the custom hosts have of urging their
guests to take a second supply by the aa
aurance, "There is plenty more where this
came from," or "there is a great quantity
here." Every bouse keeper resents this re
mark aa an implication that there has
sometimes been a scarcity of supplies.

: The Pocaetbook Steal. :"
It was a neat trick. A man standing in
a wagon waa selling two dollar bills in a
new pocketbooK for wtne pocaetoooic
thrown in. A few of them went to the as
sistants and a few more to genuine buyers.
After three or four of the latter sort had
been sold a five dollar bill was put into an
exceptionally fiae wallet and offered for
sale forta. A man bought it.
"Now, you pnt that in your pocket and
walk across tbe street before you open it,"
said tbe vender.
The buyer, a stupid fellow, did nothing
of the sort. He opened it at once and of
course found it empty. Then be raised a
hue and cry.
''Oh, here your money Is?" explained tns
fakir, with a mirthless laugh. "I must
have made a mistake. Give me tbe pocket-
book and I'll put it in."
The book waa returned.
"Now," he continued, sitting 'down and
taking the bill in bia band, "do yon see
this?"
Yes," replied the deceived.
Well, you'll never see it again.' Get np,

fat banker who had stopped to see the fun,
and the rig disappeared around the corner

Mr. Gould bnng. bis bead a minute and
then raised it and said: "Yes, I know you

the reason I didn't consult you. But tho

Of tho uianycuvious classes of charities
In tho vicinity or this city, the forryiioat
fakirs come very near being the most in
teresting. To the passengers and commu
ters on the numerous lines of ferries at
both sides of the city they hava been a
source of amnscuieut for many years.
Probably tbe most interesting and wel
come character on the boats Is an old negro.
He begins operations with the rush of
trnfBn at 5 o'clock in tho aftornoon.
He takes a seat in the rear of the men's
cabin, and just after tbe boat starts he
walks Into the pamageway between tha
two cabins and beglus to whistle, very
softly at first, "The Mocking Bird." Wit h
out a single break ha finishes the air, a
marvel of sweetness and simplicity. Then
he begins it a.rrain. This time a little louder
and with variations.
Old men put down their papers and lis
ten intently, the conversation becomes
subdued and then ceases; tha boys leave
their seats and stand at the entrance to the
passaeeway, but the old darky never stops.
and all tbe time his wonderful exertion is
becoming more and more melodious.
Finally he launches off into a series or
sweet toned notes, and a look of mingled
interest and admiration steals over the
faces of all within hearing distance. Then
he drops back into the air again and the
tune is finished very softly. - ;
APPEALS TO WOMKV.
The old negro then walks to the end
of tbe cabin and, holdiug his bat out, bows
low and passes around the seats, all the
time whistling some lively little tune, In
terspersed with melodious variations. The
nickels, dimes and penuies rattle an accom
paniment to his music and bis nightly col
lections vary from $tl to $13. On Sunday
nights he can be seen on the boats rnnnlug
from Cortlamlt street, and tnen he selects
the ladies' side of tbe boat. Standing under
one of the chandeliers, with his hat in his
hand, he whistles "Nearer, My God, to
Thee," and repeats it with variations. All
of his selections on Sunday nights are pop
ular hymns, and for his sweet and soulful
rendition of them he is well repaid.
Lately the attention of tbe passengers
has been attracted by a deformed boy, who
works upon the different lines from early
morning until late at night. His entire
leftside is paralyzed, shortening his leg
and drawing up his arm. Tbe side of his
face is also affected. Uis clothing la poor
and scanty.
When the boat is well out in the rWer
the boy enters the forward door of the
lady's cabin and stands for a moment at
the threshold, apparently uncertain what
to do. Tben be takes from an inside pocket
of his coat two lead pencils, sharpened and
provided with rubbers. Holding these in
his perfect hand he limps slowly aronnd in
front of the seats, pausing a moment be
fore each passenger, mutely asking them
to buy.
His face is a pictureof despair, and many a
ime and nickel aredropped into his band.
Nine out of every ten passengers refuse a
pencil after they have given him alms, bnt
if one is taken he continues his journey
holding tbe remaining one out for sale.
If that too happens to be taken the Jittle
fellow dives down and brings out two
more from his inside pocket. The little
scheme succeeds admirably, and he does
not dispose of more than four or five pen
cils a day. The boy is a professional beggar
and under the eyes and training of his
father.
ATHLETIC FEATS.
Among the most interesting characters
are two brothers between the ages of 14
and IT years. As soon as tbe boat is well
on its trip they appear at one end of the
cabin and one of the in, taking off bia hat,
says:
"Gentlemen, if you have not got any 00-
jections we would like to entertain you for
a few momenta. Although we make our
living this way, we only ask for what you
think we are worth."
Both bow, and with a quick movement
the younger lad puts his foot in his broth
er's hand and is thrown high into tbe air.
Turning a back somersault be lands on bia
feet on tbe floor. Picking himself quickly
np be mounts on bis brother's shoulders
and again turns backward to the floor.
Three or four more combination feata of
this nature are accomplished, when tbe
two boys stop for a moment's rest and tben
go at It again. Tbey turn forward and
backward somersaults, leap to one anoth
er's shoulders, and finally walk around the
cabin on their bands.
During trips where tbe cabin ia filled
they are roundly applauded for their work,
and both live nicely from the collections
they make. They have lit different times
filled small engagements, but tbey say
there is more money in the ferry boats for
them, and besides they are their own mas
ters. - -v-
Another of the deserving characters lann
Irish boy, who generally makes his appear
ance in the cabin with tbe following re
marks: "Ladies and gentlemen, if it will not
bother you too much I'd like to give you a
little exhibition of dancing. I will first
dance you an Irish reel and jig, next a
clog, next a shuffle, and the last a wing
dance. Please notice the different steps.'
' He takes a small harmonica from his
Docket and. after tanping tbe floor with
his foot, begins his Irish jig. As he changes
tbe music his steps and the style of dance
change, and, true to Ins word, be ends with
the winx dance. It is a clever piece of
work, for pla log quick jigs is not easy,
especially wb 1 one dances to his own mu
ic Tbe bo: 's steps are accurate and
light, and he i frequently applauded and
well repaid for his work. New York

THE PICKPOCKET'S ART.
A Devotee Dilates Upon the Deautios and
; Intrleaelea of ther Business.
There is no class of artists, said a re
nowned thief, who in their calling are a
dexterous aa pickpockets. This is due to a
double incentive. Not only does your
pickpocket find a bait for elrort and exer
tion In success, but has tbe added spur of
a fear of failure. Success means aa much
to a pickpocket aa to any man, and failure
means a great deal more. A vocation In
which the slightest slip means loss of llb-ii-ty,
and perhaps of life, will ever be apt
to have a degree of expertneaa in its fol
lowers not presont In more reputable and
safer avenues of trade.
Pickpockets, like poeta, are born, not
mode, Their nerves niust be Iron, and yet
as sensitive as Instinct. Their hauds must
be as complete in make upaud accomplish
ment as Herrmann's, and strong as steel
while light as down. Out of the vast army
of humanity who are soldiers of the shad
ows ouly one-fourth of l per cent, can or
do become pickpockets. These form the
nobility of thieves, and are reverenced by
the burglar, the footpad, the sneak and
the "con" man aa of a higher class than
they. The practice of a pickpocket while
uot really at work is as coustunt aa that ol
some famed professor of the viol or harp.
He keeps pace with the procession. No
sooner does gome jeweler invent a new fas
tening for diamond pins or studs than
these men of flaest touch devise the mo
tion which evades Its purpose.
Tbe chief object of a pickpocket, after
certainty, ia speed. He cannot dally with
his victim by the hour. What he does is
to be over iu a flash. Speaking of pins
and studs, there has never been a fasten
ing so complex but the expert thieves
could defeat it in a motion. Tbey do in
their busiucs as line work as any Houdin,
and the thief himself could not analyse or
explain its detail. His powers of execution
have gone far beyond bia power of percep
tion or relation.
A pickpocket consults bis own nervous
condition constantly. No line lady ever
has such a time with ber uerves aa this
aristocrat of the outlaws. If he does not
feel right he won't "work." When be does,
I've known oue on the Impulse to take a
car on some well dressed and wealthy
street, and, seating himself side to the win
dow, survey the shirt front of everr would
be passenger aa the car came up. I he mo
ment one showed a diamond In his linen or
cravat tbe thief would hurry to the plat
form to get off. He would time his ma
neuvers so as to nieet his man on the step
of the car. They would collide.
' The thief's hat a stiff silk or Derby-Is
iu his left hand and covers his dexterous
right, which is put forward to protect its
owner in the collision. It touches the new
comer right where tbe diamond sparkles.
aud it is still covered by the hat In the
other band. With an apology the thief
steps out of the way. The whole affair is
the tenth part of a second, but aa he bows
bis rvgreta he has the diamond In that
mysterious band of his, and, aa I have aaid,
be could not detail tha moves by which he
attained it, even if be should try. Kansas
City Star.
The Woodpecker's Slora Houae.
While walking through the Museum of
Natural History at Central park recently
I saw in one of the gloss cases part of a
cedar telegraph pole thickly perforated
with holes. On inquiry I learned that
these holes had lwen dug in the pole by the
California woodpucker, for the purpose of
storing acorns for its winter food. Some
of the acorns may still be seen in tbe pole,
although most of them bad been extracted
before it was cut down.
It has long been known that these busy
workers store acorns in tbe bark of stand
ing trees, but tbe use of a telegraph pole
for this purpose is an entirely new selec
tion, and while perhaps the feathered gen,
try find it a very convenient storehouse,
their method of taking possession Is de
cidedly damaging to tbe telegraph pole.
There is a cousin or this same bird in
Mexico who has discovered that the stalk
of the aloe makes a much better storehouse
than trees or telegraph poles, besides sav
ing him a great deal of labor. Tbe aloe
after flowering dies, but the hollow stalk
remains standing. The flinty texture of
the stalk is easily pierced through to tbe
central cavity by the woodpecker, who then
thrusts in an acorn, then another and an
other, until the hollow space ia tilled to tbe
level of the bole.
He tben makes a second opening higher
up and thrusts in more acorns nntil the
level of that bole is read. So he proceeds
all the way up tbe stalk until It Is com
pletely filled with acorns. Often aloes
thirty miles distant from the nearest oak
tree have been found stored In this way.
Involving a journey for the birds of sixty
miles for each acorn stored.
All this good work is turned to use in
time of famine, when not only the wood
peckers but other birds and even animals
live on this preserved food. St. Nicholas.
. . Comfort ia Shoes. -A
"retired shoe dealer, whom mercenary
considerations no longer deter from giving
advice as to the proper care of shoes," says:
A pair of shoes made of good leather will
last much longer if properly cared for than
when neglected. When shoes are only
blacked the leat her soon becomes bard aud
dry, the best fitting pair will be uncomfort
able, and here and there little cracks will
appear, which, will soon become chasms.
Every week or two the blacking should be
wiped off with a damp cloth, the shoe
should be ailowed to dry, and then be
rubbed witb the best harness oil.
Every part, including tbe sole and the
seams, should be oiled, and the oil given a
chance to soak in. The toughest leather
can be mode soft in this way, and good
leather will, after thts treatment, feel like
kid. Tbe shoe will wear three times as
long and be much more comfortable. New
York Commercial Advertiser.
Neutralizing Lightning Pains.
A singular pbenomenon of the lightning
flash Is that its chier effects are observable
only at tbe points of its entrance and exit.
Thus a flash which entered a school room
injured only tbe first and last child on the
form, those between escaping unhurt. Tbe
most effective treatment of lameness and
other ailments due to lightning is the ap
plication alternately to the head, trunk
and limbs of a large horseshoe magnet.
In case of a quite recent stroke the cloth
ing should be unfastened, tbe patient laid
witb the head high and quietness and
fresh air should be secured. It conscious
ness does not return the head should be
exposed to a stream of cold water. New

The thadotet
that fill your life, if you're a feeble,
suffering woman, can be taken out
of it. The chronio weaknesses,
functional derangements, and pain
ful disorders peculiar to your sex,
can be taken away. The one
unfailing remedy for them is Dr.
Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
It corrects, cures, and builds you
up. It improves digestion, enriches
the blood, dispels aches and pains,
melancholy and nervousness, brings
refreshing sleep and restores health
and strength. For periodical pains,
internal inflammation and ulcera
tion, weak back, leucorrhea, and all
kindred ailments, it's a positive spe
cific one that is guaranteed. It
it fails to give satisfaction, in any
case, the money paid for it is re
turned. '
The great, griping, old-fashioned
pills make trouble. Dr. Pierce's
Pleasant Pellets prevent it. Their's
is the natural way. Sick Headache,
Biliousness, Constipation, Indiges
tion, and all derangements of tbe
Liver, Stomach and Bowels are pre
vented, relieved and cured. Small
est, cheapest, easiest to take.
