GOTHAM'S BIG VANS.
HOW THEY ARE USED FOR LONG
AND SHORT DISTANCE " MOVING.

These Large Vehicles The Business of

Tbe estimator for a storage and van
tompany will walk into a house or a
fat and estimate within a cubic foot of
bow much Bpace tbe contents will take
op packed, and be doesn't make any
elaborate computations either. He just
walks in a leisurely way through a
house from xoof to cellar or through a
Bat from end to end, and when he is
tbrongh be knows. Houses vary great
ly. ' One three story bouse might have
in it three van loads. The house just
like it next door might have six, but tbe
estimator rarely makes a mistake. He
. might gut half a van load out of the
way in estimating a six load hou&e, but
this would be quite unusual. He would
be much more likely to bit the mark.
The contract price for moving means
for moving from any floor to any floor.
If it is desired, the company will send
barrels, boxes and packirg materials and
men to pack crockery, bronzes, books,
bric-a-brac, and so on, at 75 cents a
barrel or its equivalent in space. Tbe
time for loading and for starting the
vans would depend 6omewhat on where
the goods were going. If they were go
ing 40 miles into the country, the vans
would be loaded tbe afternoon before
and would start at 2 o'clock in tbe
morning. They would arrive at their
destination at about 10 o'clock the same
morning, the horses would be put up
and the vans unloaded, the start on the
return would bo made at about 2 o'clock
the next morning, and the arrival in the
city would be at about 10.
Vans are specially constructed with
large bodies and low wheels for trans
portation by steamboat or railroad.
Whether horses are taken on such trips
depends altogether on the distance the
vans are going. If to a nearby point,
the horses go along; if to a distant
point, it is cheaper to hire horses there.
If vans were going to Newport, for in
stance, they would be shipped on a
freight propeller, whose derrick would
pick them up like great boxes of goods
. and land them on deck. On such a trip
horses would not be taken, but hired in
Newport for the hauling there. Horses
would meet the vans at the dock upon
their return here. Vans go west at least
as far as Louisville, south to Baltimore
and Washington. In transfers, say to
Long Branch and other nearby points,
the horses go'with the vans.
Fifty miles would ordinarily be about
tbe limit of the distance that vans cover
- ora their own wheels, but they sometimes
. m greater distances. Forty miles would
be not at all unusual, and trips of 30
fades and less are common. Tbe drivers
Ibaow the roads within CO miles around
Mew York well. They know where the
paved roads are and those that are most
. nearly level, and where the poorer or
- more difficult roads are, too, and so they
know what sort of an outfit to take.
Where tbe roads are good to destination
the vans would be drawn by four horses.
On bad or billy roads tbey would take
. eix horses. It is interesting to note, as
- tbe result of the drivers' observations,
that the roads around New York are
better than they used to be, and that
tbey are steadily improving. Not in
frequently the van companies move peo
pie from one point to another outside of
the city. For example, a gentleman
who lived in a town near Bridgeport,
Conn., who was about to move to a
; place near Tarrytown, in this state, con
tracted with a van company of this city
to move him. Three vans went up from
the city on this expedition. .The work
took about two weeks. Here the dis
tance to be covered was eo great that it
Was impossible to make it in a single
day, and tbe vans baited at night and
went on in the morning. They went to
and fro in this way until tbe work was
, oompleted. The bill for this job came
to nearly $1,300.
The van companies move goods be
. Cween points in tbe city as well as to
and from it, and besides moving house-
bold goods they will estimate on and
contract to remove the contents of a
: store or a building to another store or
building. A recent moving job in this
- city came to about $1,200. Goods mov
ing in vans on their own wheels are not
Insured. In transit by rail or boat they
. are insured at the request of tbe owner.
. The cost of moving by vans depends, of
coarselargely on distance, and it varies
somewhat according to season aiid. clr-
. camstances. It is cheaper betwf.en sea
sons, and tbe nature of the roads to be
covered might have something to do
with it. To Morristown, N. J ., distance
about 80. miles, the price in the busy
Season would be $35 a van aud expenses,
- (he expenses being ferriage and tolls.
' To a point, say, 12 miles from tbe city,
la the basyseason, the rate would be $20
: a van and expenses.
The storage and van business has in
creased greatly in New York in recent
years. Tbe population of tbe city and
ia suburbs has increased rapidly, and
0ere are now more moving days than
: formerly. Many leases now ran from
. nril or October, besides those that run
from May, so that the business is more
distributed through the year. The num
ter of those who go out of town for the
, gajnnier has increased greatly. Many
persons regularly every year move
noasehold goods enough to furnish or
rrtly furnish a house at the seashore or
the country. There are many persons
bo give up their rents in spring and
, ajtcxe their effects and go away until
i Wk. SJew York San.
Where Snow Is Bed.
Sbow is sometimes found in polar anil
Apiae regions, where it lies unmelted
from year to year and the annual fall
' is small, colored red by the presence of
innumerable small red plants. In its
native state the plant consists of bril
liant red globules on a gelatinous mass.
Red snow was observed by the ancients,
passage in A . istotle referring to it,
cot it attracted little or no attention
until 1760, when Sansarire observed it
in tbe Alps and coitclnded that it was
due to the pollen of a plant. It was
also noticed by the :": expedition
under Captain Rosa on I '? bay shore

" " A'fl IN'f E"RE"STlNG DISCOVERY?'
An Adventurous Miner Runs Onto a Strange
Prehistoric City.
Manville W. Cresworth, an English
mining man well known throughout
southwest Mexico, arrived at Mapimi,
Mexico, recently from a long overland
journey through the Sierra Madre moun
tains, his starting point being Culican,
near the Pacific coast, in the state of
Sinaloa. He claims to have visited a
section of country never before visited
by a white man of the present genera
tion, and that he discovered a large and
beautiful deserted city.
He told the correspondent that the
wonderful city is situated about 80 miles
west of Lake Colorado, iD the recesses of
the Sierra Madres. It occupies a basin
about 10 miles long by eight miles wide.
Perpendicular cliffs surround the basin
on all sides, rising to a height of hun
dreds of feet. The only entrance to the
city is through a deep canyon, which has
a width of about 30 feet. Mr. Cresworth
states that' he stumbled onto the secret
entrance quite by accident. He gives a
vivid description of the deserted city.
The buildings, he says, are construct
ed of redstone blocks resembling granite.
The business blocks are two and three
Btories in height and are entirely differ
ent in architectural design from the
structures built by the Aztecs and Span
iards. The streets are very narrow, but
are laid out in regular order. In the city,
is a small park which is overgrown with
rare flowers and tropical vegetation. He
entered the business houses and decay
ing residences, but found very little of
value except some remarkable and
strange ornaments made of stone.
He believes that the city was looted at
the time that it was deserted, whenever
that may have been. No records or writ
ings of any kind were found, nor did he
discover any skeleton that would give
an idea as to the race of people who at
one time inhabited the city. None of the
natives of that section of country had
ever heard of the deserted city. Mr.
Cresworth is making diligent inquiry of
them. Mr. Cresworth's story is very
startling and remarkable, but it is be
lieved by those to whom he has related
his experiences. He will organize an ex
pedition to make a thorough exploration
of the city. St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
'HE WEARS RUBBERS."
A Kew Slang; Phrase Which Has Caught on
In the Metropolis.
During a recent discussion between a
newspaper man and State Senator Owens
of Brooklyn on the merits of a third per
son the senator said: "Why, that man is
no good. He's not even decent. The
fellow wears rubbers.'
The newspaper man was at a loss to
understand the senator's moaning, but
not wishing to appear behind in the
slang of the day said nothing. The next
day ne approached a well known poli
tician and asked him about it.
"What does it mean when you speak
of a man as wearing rubbers?" he said.
"My boy," said the politician, "that is
the very latest slang expression. It sim
ply means that a man is a sneak; that,
figuratively speaking. he approaches you
with muffled feet. If you go into any
police museum in the country, one of the
things they'll show you is the rubber
shoe that tbe sneak thief or the assassin
uses. It is an ordinary tennis shoe, with
a rubber sole and a canvas upper, and
the only reason it is worn by crooks is
because it gives them an opportunity to
creep up behind their victim without
being heard."
Another new bit of slang is, "He
doesn't cut any ice." It simply means
that he or she, whichever sex is referred
to, plays no part. Both of these expres
sions are almost brand new, and the
first, at least, is likely to become much
in vogue with people who like to piece
out their vocabulary with slang. Brook
lyn Letter.
London's Fad For Eating Salt.
Coming home upon the underground
the other evening, I read in an evening
paper of a new habit which threatens to
decimate ns the salt habit. People
carry salt crystals about with them, at
which they continually nibble. In time
they lose their hair and eyelashes. Look
ing up from my paper suddenly, I saw
this startling intelligence confirmed. A
man in the opposite corner laid down
his evening paper (it was the best even
ing paper), and took a small packet from
his waistcoat pocket, which he un
screwed. It contained a white granular
substance. Taking a pinch between his
finger and thumb, he swallowed it.
"Excuse me, sir. Is that salt?" I asked,
leaning forward excitedly. He smiled
and pointed to tbe article (in the paper).
"Have some?" he said. I took it. Pall
Mall Budget.
John Buskin's Home.
Brantwood, the chosen lakeside home
of John Buskin during tbe last quarter
century of bis life, occupies one of the
most favored spots in all England. Sit
uated on the border line of Lancashire
and Cumberland in the lake district, it
overlooks the smallest of the waters in
that "lake country" with which the
names of Wordsworth, Southey,' Cole
ridge, Lamb, Lloyd and Wilson are in
delibly connected.
Set in the background of a half encir
cling wood of exquisite grace and mys
tic beauty, as seen in the green: half,
light of its tranquil shade, Brantwood
is protected from the east winds by the
open, xising moorland that stretches far
to the rear and faces a long slope of
lawn that sweeps down to Coniston
water's edge. Behind the green and
purple moor the water of its overflow
ing wells runs swiftly down the rocks
with all the fuss of a real cascade, and
the exalted rock of "Naboth" rises just
beyond the borders of his estate a sort
I of natural pulpit which is rented by
Raskin, so that from its greater height,
which be loves to climb, he may gaze
upon the wider view. In front the nar
row lake, sparkling in the sun and bine
as the waters of the Rhone or of Than.
Then the rising banks beyond of broken
green, with white faced houses blink
ing behind the trees, and the gray vil
lage of Coniston nestling away to the
right, close down by the head of the
lake, and beyond the "Old Man" him
self towers above the smaller hills that
rise close about his knees. McClore'i

Talking and Writing.
What a difference there is between
talking and writingl : It is mighty dull
correspondence where one person bag .to
do all the writing, but it is no unusual
thing to find a person whose idea of per
fect conversation is where he does r.ll
the talking. Boston Traveller.
HUMAN DEFECTIVES.
Slethods of Treatment Suggested For Cer
tain Classes of Public Dependents.
Dr. James W, Walk, in a lecture on
"Defectives" before th9 University of
Pennsylvania, defined the defectives as
those members of society having serio'us
j mental or physical defecte, either con
genital or acquired. This group com
. prised six classes first, the blind; sec
ond, the deaf mutes; third, insane;
fourth, tho icebla minded, or idiots;
fifth, the inebriates where drunken
ness has become a disease and eisth,
the epileptics.
Dr. Walk took up each of these class
es and stated what bo believed to bo
tbe best way to deal with them. Of the
blind and deaf be said: "Blind, deaf
and feeble minded children have as
much claim to an education as others,
and since their defects prevent them
from receiving it in the ordinary public
schools it ia only just that they should
be instructed in schools especially adapt
ed to their condition. Such schools are
also a most economical investment cf
public money, for by means cf the train
ing they give tbe great majority of tho
blind and deaf mutes become self sup
porting in adult life.
"To fit blind children for self support
it is necessary that their discipline
while at school should bo rigid, so as to
impart thoroughness in the practice of
the few industries, such as weaving and
music, which are open to them. Tho
managers of the best schools for the
blind now insist upon this rigid train
ing, and in this way sometimes incur
unpopularity among those who do not
understand their leal motive.
"For thoso of the adult blind who
cannot maintain themselves in open
competition - with normal workmen
there should bo founded in each state
industrial homes where they may reside
and labor, the deficiency in thtir earn
ing being supplied by benevolence.
Where such homes are well conducted
they are nearly self supporting.
"Under tho stimulus of the popular
interest excited by the. eloquent ad
dresses of the great philanthropist, Doro
thea Dix, Pennsylvania many years ago
undertook to make adequate provision
for the insane at public expense. Tbe
first institution tor their care in the
commonwealth was the insane depart
ment of the old Pennsylvania hospital.
We have now many asylums for these
people, but not enough yet to accommo
date them all. Asylums should be so
regulated that the inmates can work
and be self supporting."
Dr. Walk thought that idiots, or the
: feeble minded,- should not be permitted
I to marry. Of epileptics he thought the
' same, as their defects are hereditary.
' Inebriates should be confined for a long
period, during which they would bo
; forced to abstain totally. This treat
! ment, he said, results often in perma
I nent cure. Philadelphia Press.
I Bores.
The great secret of ' boredom is to be
found in two leading qualifications. A
. bore must bo unable to find amusement
in himself, and be must also bo unable
to find amusement in any one else. He
must depend for his amusement neither
on bis own mind nor on the minds of
his friends, but simply on the gratifica
tion which it is to him to give a special
direction, or at least to suppose that be
gives a special direction for he is a
creature of the most nnlimited credul
ity in the art of magnifying hiaown in
, fiuence to tho minds of his friends.
' Ho is in despair unless be can imagine
himself a person of influence, and un
luckily he can never imagine himself a
person of influence for he is a man of
very limited imaginative power unless
he is taking overt steps to convinco
somebody of something, whether it be
of some technical doctrine like Dugald
Dalgetty's strategic principle, or simply
of his own importance, or even of the
' importance of bis patrons, like Mr. Col
lins in "'Pride and Prejudice." To baa
first rate bore you must . have no re
sources in yourself . and no resources in
yoar friends, but must depend for your
satisfactions on tho real or fancied power
of making your friends either think or
do .what they would otherwise not think
or do. London Spectator.
n Is Point of View.
An edd illustration once given Emer
son, the philosopher, of the fact that the
laws of disease are as beautiful as tho
laws of health isrepoxled i:i his lecture

j "I was hastening," he says, "to visit
' an old and honored friend, -vho I was

" 'And how is my friend, the rever

" 'Oh, I saw him this morning. It is

An Angry Executioner.
Deibler, the French executioner, is raid
to be the angriest man in Paris. A
prisoner in the Roquette jail, under sen
tence of death, committed suicide after
M. de Paris had specially sharpened
the knife for his No. 17 neck. Then the
executioner is much disappointed be
cause he has not received the ribbon of

all others who have distinguished them
selves in tbe suppression of anarchists.
He argues that he risks his life more than

A Late Fad of Royalty.
The latest fad among the ladies of the
English royal family, including, it is
said, the queen herself, is to beguile the
winter hours by plaiting straw for the
fabrication of hats to be presented to
their sons and husbands at the approach
ing season.- A well known hatter has
just finished a handsome straw hat for
Prince Henry of Batten berg, every inch
of which was plaited by Princess Bea
trice's own hands. ' It is said to be a re
markably delicate piece of . workman

f Little : Nieco (from Boston) Yes,

Good Newv- t - - ;
Respect For a Mother-in-law.
A lady not long since received a lesson
on the subject of proper feeling for her
mother-m-iaw which will last her along
time. Her husband's family were very
affectionate toward one another loved
one another with even more than the or
dinary devotifn of close kindred. It maj
or may not be to the point to mentioi
that they also liked great wakes, wed
dings and christenings.
The husband's mother died in course
of time at a good old age. He and his
j wife had saved a little money against
i the contingency of his being without
j work ia cold weather, when the hod car
rying business is dull. In his big gust of
grief over the sad event, the husband re
solved to spend every cent of that money
in giving his departed maternal relative
a grand funeral. Nothing was too good
for her. Food for his wife and baby,
keeping tho wolf from the door in cold
weather, when members of his profes
sion were mostly on their uppers, was as
nothing. A great funeral and an ele
gant wake the old lady must have. Hit
brothers and sisters were richer than he
and needed no help from him in interring
the good dame in proper, even fashiona
ble, style. But no! The affectionate
eon whose profession was not prosperous
in cold weather would have none of that.
He would never feel that he had done
Lis duty by the old lady unless he put
that 25 into a grand wake.
Unfortunately at this point there was
a difference of opinion between him and
his wife. She ventured to hint that she
and the baby needed the money more
than hi3 . mother did, especially as the
old lady's other children were quite able
and willing to provide a wake that would
drown the sorrows of the most afflicted
ami bereft family in tho state.. He in
dignantly repudiated the idea and re
proached her with cold heartedness and
w ant of feeling for her departed mother-in-law.
But she insisted, unfortunately
for her own sake.
Then the grief stricken eon fell upon
her and gave her such a beating that she
did not get over it in two weeks. "111
teach you, said he as he mauled her
black and blue, "to show disrespect to
my mother, and she dead and in her cof
fin and looking to all her children to
give her an elegant wake. Next time
your mother-in-law dies you'll know how
to have proper feeling for her."
Old John's Translation.
Every one In Boston knows of old
John the Orangeman, that picturesque
and almost historical personage who
presides over the affections of all Har
vard men. And every one who. knows
John knows also that his life's motto is
that familiar phrase which expresses
briefly and to the point the wish that
Yale may be forever relegated to the re
gion of sorrow and perpetual darkness.
One afternoon strangers were walk
ing through tho yard at Harvard, and
on every hand they saw the college seal
bearing this motto, "Christo et Eccle
sioe." Not being on speaking terms with
Cicero, Caesar and the other Romans,
this did nothing but to arouse their cu
riosity. -
Finally they met John.
"I say I" said one of the visitors. "I
see these words everywhere. Can yon
tell me what they mean?"
John looked carefully at the Latin in
scription, bit his pipe a little harder and
then replied gravely:
"Oi don't jist know, fr'nd, hot Oi
t'ink it means 'To h : wid Yale. "'

URROONDED BY MYSTERY!
A Great Mistake.
A recent discovery Is that headache,
dizziness, dullness, confusion of the mind,
etc., are due to derangement of the nerve
centers which supply the brain with nerve
forces that indigestion, dyspepsia, neuralgia,
wind in stomach, etc., arise from tbe derange
ment of the nerve centers supplying these or
gans with nerve fluid or force. This is likewise
true of many diseases of the heart and Iobks.
The nerve system is like a telegraph system,
as will be seen by the accompanying
cut. The iitue
white lines are
the nerves which
convey the nerve
f;r.;e from tbe
nerve centers to
every part of the
body. Just as the
electric current la
conveyed along
the telegraph
wires to every
station, iarze or
small. Ordinary
phyalclans fail to
regard this fact;
instead of treat
ins the nerve cen
ters for the cause
o f the disorders
arising therefrom
they treat tha
part affected.
