Gas had as utuoh difficulty in making Its way In New York city apparently us did the steel framed skyscraper; In each case it required a wan wh had tne courage of his conviction to prova took Uielr places as-necessities. In tha case of the skyscraper the designer had to convince the owner, .who had be come souiewhut fearful of the success of his venture because of the" coin' mentg of bis frieuds, by signing a lease ior uu omce ou the top floor for a long term of Tears. In tha pima nt although It had been used in London and other American cities before It was introduced Into New York. 8am uel Leggett. the president of the com pany that proposed to bring the much reared luumiuant into use here, had to prove its harmlessuess in ills own house. This was in 1823. : His heroism attracted a good deal of attention and proved to be a good ad vertisement, for hundreds if .not thou sands of persons visited the house to see the lllumlnaut which was said to be so much better than candles' and fish Oil Wilms. The house wm In tlia m. town fashionable quarter of -the ity, on Cherry hill. It was at 7 Cherry street, only a few doors below the big, square Franklin House, In which Pres Ident Washington lived when New lork was the capital, and near the eel ebrated Cherry gardens. It was a nar row, three story and attic brick atruc ture with two dormer windows An abutment of the Brooklyn bridge now occupies the site. Stories of the explosive character of gas uaa spread -without the aid of a press agent, and persons hesitated about having the pipes run through their houses. They were- willing . to" have some one eke mnlt' tha nri. meut, however, and curious enough to visit tno jiouse of the Tenturesome one to see what happened, For the time being all roads in the evening seemed to lead to Mr. Leggett's house. Groups gamerea outside in the darkened street to witness the process of "liirhtinif tin ' Many a couple from the other fashion able quarter, State street and the foot of Broadway, gave up ,the evening walk aiong me aattery to wend their way up Pearl street in the moonlight to 7 Cherry street to see the novelty. There were eager visitors from aurroundlng towns. Mr. Leggett was not averse to showing people how much better gas was than any other form of illumlnant by tuking them . through the house This fact, becomlna-' known thrnnirh out the city,, added, to the number of visitors, and not, Infrequently when Mr. Leggett, basking In the light of no toriety in his drawing room, saw fiwi peeling in at him from the outer dark ness no would go to , the door and in vlte those without to come in. It was several years .before . the prejudice against gas could.be altogether wiped out. ew York Tribune., A lmm. Hard Path (a Raaek GmI Bator tha lapr.at.

"Home, Sweet Home," I'ayne'o song, was orlKlunlly .a number in the "Clarl, the Maid of Milan," a produc tion Drougut out In 1823. The opera was a failure, and , nothing Is now known of it save the one song, which became instantly Donular.. Over ion. 000 copies were sold in the first year or its publication, and the ale.la one form or another has been constant over since the first appearance of this beautiful 'theme.

Among the desert tribes when butter is needed the milk is put hi a shoepskin.bag and tied by a short rope to the horse's saddle.

The usual size of the shell of an oys ter Is three to five Inches, but a way back In tertiary times there were oys ters In California that had shells thir teen Inches lone and seven or eight inches wide. The animal and shell doubtless weighed fifteen or twenty pounds, since the shells were five inch es thick. These oysters have long been extinct, but their fossil shells are abun dant. If the oyster farmer could pro duce Individuals of such enormous size now and the flavor were orood In uro- portion to lta size we would be most fortunate. . In that case a single oyster would be enough for one stew at the church festival. St. Nicholas.

As late as the sixteenth century skates In England were very primitive, for we learn that the London appren tices used to tie bones to their feet and under their heels. Writing In 1601, Evelyn speaks of "the strange and wonderful dexterity of the sliders" In St. James' , park, "performed before their majesties by divers gentlemen and others with scbeets, after the man ner of the Hollanders, with what swift nesse they pass, how suddaluly they stop in ruir carriage upon the Ice."

Perhaps you think there Is nothing very strange In that. The strange part is the very funny way they have of eating the sugar. They roll the sweet morsel In a Piece of tobacco leaf. This they place in their cheek and, smack ing their lips delightedly, hold It there until It Is dissolved. This dainty is called "laloop" and Is the choicest mor sel known to the little Eskimo stomach. Different Serrlee.
