, - 1 jaw? V a fl 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 Atlantic. 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." -Uoston Globe 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 don Truth. 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. N. Y. Tribune.

Although He Needed One He Waa Par ticular About Quality. 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?

"Please write at once. I want to know quick. Your obedient servant, ."St. Louis Republic. 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 Francisco Post. 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 ton.

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.

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.
