A BAG OF MYSTERY.
IT UPSET THE EQUILIBRIUM OF A CAR
LOAD OF BROOKLYNITES.
Th rBC of Mind Which the Rraldrut of
Brooklyn lnti ea With IIU Sunday
Cloth Greatly Dliturbed by the Strang
Tones Man's Action.
Thorc was au Mil littlo episoilo iu a
Brooklyn t roller car of tho Flatbush liuo
en n recent Sunday afternoon, which
gavo riso to au nniusing comedy of con
diet between tho natural curiosity of
human iiaturo and tho civilized oblign
ticn to restrain it
The Flatbush audPlatlauda lino runs
war out into tho region of cornfields.
brack farm 8 and forests lately gathered
into Brooklyn's municipal area. When
tho car started from tho end of the route
it had aboard ono passenger, n pleasant
faced young man who carried a largo
leather handbag. He was well dross ed,
but hii clothes wero covered with dust
and his shoes with mud, suggesting that
he had been roaming across lots in the
rural wards. As tho car approached and
passed Prospect park it filled up with
Sunday strollers.
The young man sat beside tho stove,
with his bag on his knees. After awhile
bo opened tho bag a trifle, shook it
gently and peered attentively inside.
Then he put his hand in and seemed to
be gently stirring up its contents. Tho
passengers sitting directly opposite to
him became interested in his doings.
but he didn't look up. After shaking
the bag from 6ide to sido for a little
while be beat over and becamo interest
ed in some mysterious business which
for the rest of the trip absorbed his en
tire attention and also that of his fellow
passengers.
Ho reached down into the bag with
bis right hand, lifted out something
carefully In the hollow of his palm,
weighed it carefully, held it to his ear,
ehook it, held it to his ear again and
then decisively reached around and put
it into his overcoat pocket Then ho
reached into the bag again and went
through tho same motions, except that
this time he placed tbo something care
fully in one corner of tho bag. First one
and then another of tho passengers be
came interested in the yonng man and
his performance until very soon every
one was pscres closely, some almost
painfully, over at bim and bis bag. Bnt
be never looked up. By and by tho con
doctor came in and walked nervously
the length of the car several times, peer
ing into tho young man's bag as be
passed. But the bag was open culy a
trifle, and be could see nothing of its
contents. He went outside and discussed
the matter with a man who stood on
the platform
Tho young man, intensely absorbed
In his performances and seemingly al
together oblivious of the iutense inter
est of the other passengers in hint, kept
steadily on, lifting cut invisible some
things, weighing them, listening to
them, shaking them and sorting them
over. 'Once in awhile ho lifted out bits
cl twigs and leaves and threw them cn
the floor: Tho passengers eyed them
over attentively, bnt could make noth
ing out of them. Soon they began whis
pering one to another about the myste
rious doings of the young man, and the
women moved nervously around, and
cne or two men looked as though they
were determined to ask the young man
for an explanation if ho looked up. But
be didn't look up. Once in awhile a
passenger get out and tried hard to peer
into toe bag as be passed it but useless
ly. The situation was painful and was
also intensely comical to one passenger
who was almost as much interested in
watching the ill concealed curiosity and
strained nervousness of the passengers as
in trying to fathom the mystery of the
yonng man's performance. Probably if
ft had been any other day than Sunday
some one would have plucked up cour
age to ask a simple although maybe im
pertinent questicf. and so relieve th
general strain. But the restraint im
posed by Sunday clothes held everr one
back.
Finally when tho car was entering
Pulton street the young man suddenly
looked out of the window, closed the
bag with a nap and hurried oat of the
car. There was a movement cn the part
of the other passengers, partly cf alarm
at the escape of the young man with
the mystery unsolved and partly perhaps
of relief at the end of the suspense. One
man made a quick jump after the mys
terious young man and caught him for
a few seconds as he was about to leave
the car.
"What've y' got? Whatcher doing?"
he asked, regardless of all proprieties.
The young man looked surprised and
then trailed and said:
"Ob, cocoons, chrysalides, moths, you
know. I've been gathering them out in
the country, and I sell them to the nat
uralist." Then ho jumped off the car.
The impulsive, inquisitive man re
turned to his seat and the remaining
passengers were eagerly waiting for
him. He explained that the young man
was a naturalist or naturalist's collector.
He evidently made a business of going
around the country hunting over the
fences and bushes for the chrysalides, or
pups, of moths and butterflies. Some
cf these are attached to feneo pickets,
but perhaps the greater number are
found on leave or twig. They look like
balls of silk usually, but often are cover
ed with dust, dead leaves and such mat
ter. The collector simply gathered ev
erything into his bag and then sorted
tbem out later. Some of the cocoons are
empty, and these ho could tell Eomo
tlmes by their light weight, but more
certainly by shaking them. The pupa
is usually loose and rattles insido tho
cocoon. Tho empty shells ho put into
his coat pocket tho livo pupa: he sorted
out according to size or perhaps by pe
culiarities which distinguished their
character.
It seemed a curious business, but yet
it wasn't quite so odd as tho comical
perplexity in which it kept about a score
of Brooklyn! tea. New York Sun.
When most needed it is not unusual
for yonr family physician to be away
from home. Such was the experience of
Mr. J. Y. Scbenck, editor of the Caddo,
Ind. Ter., Banner, when bis little girl,
two years of age was threatened with a
severe attack of croup. He says: "My
wife insisted that I go for tho doctor, but
as our family physician was out of town
I purchased a bottle of Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy, which relieved her im
mediately. I will nut be without it in
the future." 'Si and 50 cent bottles fur
