WORK HORSES TO LET.
Many of Them Are Hired by the Day
rp, In New York.
A man who had seen, at one time
and another, here and there, in town,
a sign like this: "Good Work Horses
to Let," and had a vague idea that the
few work horses that were let must
be hired by men who were not able
to buy a horse, found upon inquiry
that his ideas on this subject were very
inadequate. It is, of course, possible
that a work horse might be hired by
a man not able to buy one, but it would
quite as likoly be hired by a man or a
firm that could afford to buy a thousand
horses if it were desirable to do so. As
a matter of fact, work horses are hired
by a great variety of men.
There ore stable owners who make
a business of letting work horses, and
work horses are sometimes let by other
large business concerns employing
many horses, which might not all be
fully employed the year round; so
might be the case, for example, with
the horses of an ice company, or a
street sprinkling concern or other en
terprise using many horses whose busi
ness runs more or less in seasons. It
doe not by amy means follow that be
cause a man hires a work horse he
must take a poor one; he certainly
wouldn't take a poor one if he could
get, a good one, and he usually can get
a good horse. Many of the work horses
that are let are of the very best grade,
fine draught horses that are well cared
for and are in perfect condition. Work
horses are let mostly to truckmen, but
they are ulso let to many other users
of horses.
At one establishment where work
horses are let no horse is ever let to
go out of the city. Most stables have
customers who come to them when they
want a horse and are known. The
Btrangeir is naked for a reference. The
superintendents of stables where work
ing horses are let have a wide acquain
tance among truckmen. They know
personally many of them; and the
stranger is likely to be able to refer
to somebody who is known. A man
who has been for years in charge of
a large stable which lets work horses
in this manner, said that he had never
lost a horse.
Horses generally are better treated
now than they formerly were, owing
to the stringent enforcement of the
laws against cruelty to animals and to
greater consideration on the part of
drivers. Of course, there have always
been men who treated horses kindly;
there are more than ever of them now.
No establishment owning work horses
which it lets will ever let twice to a
man who ill-treats a horse.
Horses are cheaper than they used to
be, and the price of hiring a work horse
is less. Formerly two dollars a day was
charged for the, hire of a work horse;
now a good work horse can be hired
for $1.50 a day, and the owner gives
with Hue horse when it goes out a
suitalxle noonday feed. A man who
knows about these things says that,
taking them altogether, there are thou
sands of work horses hired in this city
daily. N. Y. Sun.
BOSTON'S NEGLECT OF POE.
Memory of Her Mont I'amou Man of
Letter Ignored.
I have mentioned the circumstance
that it has never occurred to the town
of Boston to erect a monument to Foe,
who, next to Franklin, probably has
the most world-wide fame of all the
men of letters native to that town, and
Foe was connected with Boston not
alone by the important accident of his
birth, but by the commencement there
of his literary career, itself an event
worth commemoration. So far us I am
aware, Boston never awarded to Foe
the honor which, iu the case of her dead
literary men of eminence, she some
times deems worthy to be taken in lieu
of any further monumental attention
namely, the calling of a public meeting
by the mayor, at which addresses are
made and complimentary resolutions
adopted. The name of Foe is Indeed
carved on the outer wnll of the public
library at Boston; so are several other
names. Their purpose is chiefly dec
orative. However, Boston's neglect in respect
of Foe was but the neglect of all the
rest of the country. His kindred left
his grave at Baltimore unmarked, ami a
fund of ulxiut $1,000 had to be raised by
public subscription to place above his
ashes the unbcuutiful mortuary monu
ment which now tiears his name. If an
enterprising commercial person had
not hired the cottage in which Foe
lived at Fordhnm, just out of New York,
and put up alxve its door the large
sign: "Foe Laundry," surmounting it
with thd figure of a raven, thereby
urotuung the wrath of many ieople, in
cluding the owner of the cottage, nnd
shaming them into a protest, it Is proba
ble that the oet'g fame would still be
quite destitute of nny public memorial

Tvdtona Work of Old Ilookmnkera.
During the twelfth nnd thirteenth
centuries monks frequently isolated
themselves from the world and repro
duced the Bible in Illuminated manu
script. The work was necessnrily slow
and in no instance was it accomplished
in less thnn 35 years. Guide de Jars
was a producer of the illuminated man
uscripts and a beautiful specimen of
his work was sold along with the books
of Sir W. Burreli in 1700. This copy of
the Bible had occupied half a century
lu its production. A note in the begin
ning of the manuscript in Jars' hand
writing indicates that he began his task
in 1244 nnd did not conclude it till 125)4.
C'hnrrli Delia Hinging.
According to an old custom in th
Butch village of Katlyk the two church
bells have been rung for' centuries past
without intermission, day and night
from the Cist to the 25th of December
every year. No reason Is given for tin
custom, but so far all effort to stop tin
ninddenlng noise have proved futile.
The llrpatatlon of lloston.
The discipline of the older section of
the country is not much more severe
than that of the newly-settled regions,
whpre they think the easterners are
absurdly finical and only a shade less
fiiupy than the English. A hotel clerk
Ix-yond the Missouri once mlvued a
Bostonian in a friendly (spirit never to
register from Boston.
"Why?" the innocent Hostonlan in
quired. "Because," answered the clerk, "out
here we always give n man from Bos
ton the poorest room in the house. We
know he is going to kick, anyhow, and
so we give him something to kick at."

THE POLITE ITALIANS.
Florence, the City of Well-Mannered
Clttsena.
If I wished to teach an awkward
child, youth or girl good manners by
example, I should send him or her to
Florence, says a writer. There may be
iil-mannered persons there, but I never
eaw one. Poor people behave with th(
euave diguity which used in Englan
to stamp the lady or gentleman. Mor
persons are brainy, but cleverness i
not eager to thine. It is very subduei
and more oily than corrosive. The
charm of Florence steals on one like the
wit of its clever inhabitants. The
senses are soothed in all directions by
harmonious manners and , objects.
Architects understood chiaroscuro not
less than the great painters and sculp
tors. One never wearies of the streets
and public buildings; their aspects con
stantly and strongly vary, according to
the course of the sun. Lights and
shades at ten in the forenoon are whol
ly different from what they will be at
four in the afternoon. The Florentine
women have interesting, though not
beautiful, faces. But one has only to
walk into the market to see country
girls who would have done for models
of Raphael's Virgin-mothers. One is
struck in the galleries with the nice
judgment with which the pictures are
hung. What more lofty in sentiment
than the tomb of Lorenzo de Medici?
Loftiness is an attribute of Florence
architecture, palatial or domestic. The
doors of private houses might pass in
England for portals. One feels them to
be great facts in their way.
Talking of harmonious things re
minds me of the Boboli Gardens. Is
there a spot in England, the land of
ftately and lovely seats, that at all ap
proaches them? In' situation, and tran
quil, generous loveliness, I can. only
think of one the duke of Northumber
land's terraced gardens at his place
in Surrey. The Boboli Eden, where the
prince and princess of Naples still court
seclusion, ha the advantage over the
Surrey paradise of being under a re
vealing sky. Every shade of greenery,
every floral hue is well brought out.
One sees the faultless texture of statues
and fountains mellowed by time. In
ho strong a light a well-ordered design
in required, and one has it. The marbles
are the climax. They are to the horti
cultural beauties as brilliants to the
lacefand satin of a fine woman's dress.
Florence is not what it was in the
grand ducal days. Still, it retains the
airof acapital with a longand illustrious
history. The ladies' dresses are only
provincial when measured by the Paris
standard, towhich Italian women above
the peasant class generally submit
roore's the pity Paris fashions only
suit French women, unless applied by
French hairdressers and femmes de
ehambre. An English or a German
face under a Faris hat or bonnet is at
a dreadful disadvantage, if the hair has
not been first dressed by a French
artiste capillaire. He places the hat,
through the medium of the hair, in
harmonious relation with the face. I
fancy these French coiffeurs are not
much employed by Italian ladies. Lon

FUR IN COLD STORAGE.
Summer Attack of Motha Prevented
liy Refrigeration.
Tn on article read before the National
Warehousemen's association at Boston
lately by Prof. Howard, a government
entomologist, the subject of the preser
vation of furs by cold storage was
treated, and public attention was called
to this, one of the latest novel uses of
artificial refrigeration. In a cold stor
age room the temperature can beraised
or lowered at will. Jn some or the
oonis, for instance, where it is desired
to keep poultry for any length of times
the temperature is kept at the zero
oint. With the improved systems, the
rooms are free from dampness, nnd for
this reason can be utilized for an almost
unlimited number of purposes. In the
cane of furs, the temperature of the
room, if kept at 30 degrees, would make
it impossible for any of the insects
which get Into nnd destroy this kind of
goods, to live. Every housewife knows
that moths do not breed in the winter
time, and camphor bulls nnd insect-de
stroying powders are made use of only
in the summer months.
Already there Is one lnrge warehouse
In Now York city where furs are sent
to be stored through the summer. Itia
a most satisfactory method, for the furs
are kept free from tlic odor of camphor
and other drugs and powders, the
unveil of which is disagreeable to many
persons. Woolens and all other lines of
goods which nre subject to destruction
by insects can be preserved in this way.
Chocolate candy manufacturers use a
cold storage room in which their can
die nre kept, and the candies are
made in a room so cool that
melting cannot retard the process of
manufacture. In this way the output
of the candy plant is largely increased.
Soap factories, refineries, chemical
works and a large line of other factories
are coming to ue the cold storage room.

Skating expeditions of great length
are not unusual features of the winter

in one day the eleven towtm of Fries
land, an aggregate distance of eighty
miles. It is neciisiai'y t ) have good ieu,

one jour and llfty-five minutes were
consumed in resting and nourishing.
Another remarkable feat is to Kkate

WANTED A WIFE.
Although He Needed One He Waa Par

A prominent attorney preserves the
following document as one of the chief
curios of his office.
It bears a recent date and was written
from one of the Missouri river towns.
The young woman referred to is the
presiding genius of the kitchen in the
lawyer's home:
"Dear Sir: I got acquainted with
Miss through our corresponding
with each other. She wants to marry
m. Should she suit, I will not want
her for three or four months yet.
Please find out through your wife and
let me know by return mail if she is
worthy of a good husband.
"Is her character good? now about
her honesty and integrity? Does she
seem to like children? Is she neat and
clean? Is she tasty about her dress?
Is she gay or frivolous, or what you
call sullen?
"Is she wasteful in her cooking and
thinks she is saving or not? Is she
strong and healthy ? Can she hear and
talk good? Is she homely or pretty?
Is she smatrt ? To make it short, would
she make: a good man a good wife?
, "I am' a cooper by trade, a widower
with five children, and I need a woman
that's a good cook and to look after
my children. Sha has been working
for your wife three weeks. You ought
to know her pretty good by this time.
Anything you may say a he won't know
if it isn't good, unless you tell her your
self. "Is she stylish? Has she begun to
break or show edge? Is she steady and
does she know how to please?
"You can do me a great favor if yofti
take five minutes of your valuable time
to answer these few questions.
"Please write at once. I want to
know quick. Your obedient servant,

Nevada Cricket Yarn.
"You've heard about clouds of grass
hoppers in Kansas and the plague of
locusts in Egypt," remarked an old Ne
vada miner, "but did you ever hear
of the cricket pest in the western des
erts? No. Well, I'll tell you how I
ran against it omee up in Nevada. I
had been prospecting 100 miles from
nowhere and had run short of water.
I was nearly dead of thirst, when a
couple of miles away, at the foot of a
hill, I saw a clump of willows. I knew
there must be water aear, so I struck
out for the willows. WThen I got there
I found a fine spring, but, it was filled
up with' crickets till the pile stuck a
foot above the batiks. I estimated that
there were at least 16 bushels of crick
ets in libat spring."
"Sure that there were not 16?" in
quired one of his hearers.
"Be careful how you come back at
mo, or I. may raise your bet a few crick
ets. You see the insects start across
the desert and naturally getatrifledry.
When they strike wuteT they stampede
for it like a herd of cattle. Well, sir,
I had to shovel out crickets for half a
day before I could get a space clear to
get a chance at tlie water myself. San

Ancient Dentiatry.
The art of dentistry was practiced
among the Egyptians and Etruscans,
and there are evidences in mummies
and skulls that in very ancient times
teeth were filled and efforts were made
to supply the loss of natural by arti
ficial teeth. -VThe first, writer on the
treatment of diseased teeth was Galen.
The science was introduced into Amer
ica by John Greenwood.who established
himself in New York intl788. In 1700,
and again in 1795, he carved in ivory an
entire set of teeth for Gen. Washing

WHEN BABY PtfltYS.
When baby by her crib at night
Enfolda her little bands to pray
Dear little hands go loft and white
I listen while the sweet lips say:
"Now 1 'ay me down to s'eep,
I p'ay the Lord my soul to teepi"
And hastening years are backward rolled,
The past is as a tale untold.
And standing by my mother mild
Dear mother, with your hair so white
Again I am a little child,
And say again as yester night:
' If I s'ould die before I wate,
I p'ay the Lord my soul to teep"
And half it seems my baby's plea
The olden faith cornea back to me.
Ah me! I kuow my faith is but
A phantom of the long ago,
Yet when my babe with eyelids shut,
Repeats the words I used to know:
"Now I 'ay me down to s'eep,
I p'ay the Lord my soul to teep:"
Someway, someway the world-doubts flee !
The old sweet faith comes back to me.
It comes again, the Boft, sweet faith:
It is my own, it is my own,
And doubts have tied, tue gloomy wraith,
Before a baby's words alone:
"If I s'ould die before I wate,
I p'ay the Lord my soul to tute:"
So for a baby's lisping plea
My thanks, dear Lord, my thanks to Thee.

HEAT PHOTOGRAPHS.
Substances Sensitive to Weak Radia
tion from a Heated Body.
The invisible radiations from a heated
body possess the power of effecting cer
tain chemical decompositions much aft
er tbe manner of lights, as, for in
stance, in photography, says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat. Among the
substances sensitive to weak radia
tions of heat may be mentioned paper
saturated with cupric bromide, or a
mixture of sulphate of copper and
potassium bromide, which has a faint
greenish tint that becomes olive brown
in radiant heat, and if. green is used a
brown image can be obtained in a min
ute by exposing to the radiations from
a gas stove and on. treatment with sit
ver nitrate this image Incomes black by
reason of the reduction of the silver.
Bichromated paper is affected by radi
ant heat, as by light, and paper impreg
nated simply with sulphate of copper
yields a feeble image, whioh becomes
nearly black when treated with silver
nitrate. A mixture of sulphate of cop
per and oxalic acid gives a paper which
becomes brown on exposure. Chlorate
of copper is also very sensitive, tbe faint
blue color becoming a deep green.
Similarly used bromide of tin behaves
as if exposed to light, but unexposed
parts become very black when treated
with silver nitrate. Nitrate of silver,
which is markedly acted upon by light,
is slightly browned when exposed to
heat radiation, and the tint is deepened
by hydroqumone or gallic acid.
