When he speaks of himself u.4 "a general dealer,” he means that lie trades in anything which enables him to turn an honest penny. His ordinary mode of life is even lower than is nieiiit by living from hand to mouth. When he turns out in the small hoars of the morning to look round tho markets, he may not even know whether cliis traffic for thu day will consist iu fish, vegetables or fruit. Ho may take a hasty penny breakfast in the street and then go to Billingsgate with the idea of "loading up” with the first, only to find that everything is too dear, and then ho must hie away to Spitalfields or Covent Garden. When ho thus arises with the laik, lie cannot tell whether lie will have "a good day” or a very poor one. The must despairing time of all is when the markets all round are too dear to allow of the barrow being "loaded up. ” If the coater can clear 3 or 4 shil lings in the day, he will not be down hearted, and should hu earn nothing, or even make a loss, he looks at the mat ter as philosophically as one could ex pect There are shrewd business men among the costers who rise into thriv ing shopkeepers.

The fact is also learned that there is strength in unity, so that the London Union of General Dealers in its way exercises as farreaching an in fluence as a city guild. The chairman might correctly have described himself in thu words of one of his brethren, "I ain’t a eddicated person, but I know wot’s wot. ” He proved this characteristic by rising into a thriving tradesman, having one or two shops, and when on one occasion his errand boy stole a box containing nearly 100 sovereigns the police would not believe that such a man had so much money to bo stolen.

A SUBTERRANEAN OCEAN. n 1» Ilalteved to t'nderlie Nebraska, Kan sas aud ludiau Territory. The best scientists of the laud favor . thu opiniun that Nebraska, Kansas and | part uf Indian Territory are situated I over an immense underground lake or sea. It is a well known tact that iu sev- ' eral places iu Kansas whole sections uf land hu.u suddenly disappeared, leaving only fathomless lakelets to mark the i spot where they were once situated. . Proof that there is something peculiar with the foundation of the section of the country mentioned may be found in the celebrated “tide wells” of Polk, Butler aud Colfax counties in Nebras ka. Polk county is best provided with these curious wells, having between a dozen aud 20 which roar and ebb and flow’ with an unseen tide. The roaring of these remarkable curiosities—they cannot be called natural wonders, be cause they are the work of man, at least so far as excavation is concerned—is caused by the inhalation aud exhalation of immeuse quantities of air. There are hours, regular aud uniform, in which the air will msh out with a loud, hiss ing sound, and again an equal space uf time iu which it seems that all the air of the Platte valley will be sucked into the caveruous depths uf these wonderful wells. The period uf this ebb aud flow does not seem to depend upon either thu sea sons or the state of the weather, but is thought to have some mysterious con nection with the high and low tide pe riods uf the Atlantic aud Pacific oceans. A meteorologist of national reputation, who sought to fathom the mystery of the ‘ ‘Platte river' tide wells, ’ ’ and who issued a little pamphlet with the title “limning Wells of Nebraska,” gave it as his opinion that the roaring phenom enon was in somo way connected with the prevailing direction of the wind, being strongest in time of west or south west breezes. The farmers in the three counties mentioned as being best pro vided with these tide regulated, air ex polling wells believe that the water sup ply is connected with a body large enough to have a regular ebb and flow of tide. All the wells in the counties of Polk and Butler which are tide regulat ed are of about the same depth, those ol Colfax being deeper, but all extend ing to a porous stratum having the same general characteristics. —St. Louis Re public. Fraudulent Sweetbread». “A true sweetbread is perhaps the most houlthy meat that can be eaten,” said a doctor yesterday, "but you are never able to get it. The sweetbread proper is the pancreas, which is one of the most effective agents in promoting digestion, but the sweetbread of trade is usually obtained from the throats of cattla aud Is what is called tho thyroid gland. This gland rests against the windpipe, and while its texture is sim ilar to that of the real sweetbread it has not the same beneficial qualities. But some butchers, in order to make money, pass off the salivary gland, that which furnishes the »aliva, located in I the cheeks, for a sweetbread. This is the most inferior substitute of ail. The I pancreas, or real sweetbread, is a most dainty mareel. It is of triangular form, while the sweetbreads obtained from thu throat are of an oval form. But what is tho use of making people dis- >>atisfied? They have been eating thy roid and salivary glands for sw’eetbreads for years and have been satisfied. But then they have never tasted the real thing. ”—Pittsburg Dispatch. The Tenor’s Little Joke. A popular tenor, whose dislike to eu- carc-s Is well known, had been singing “Come Into the Garden, Maud,” when there arose a vehement outcry for an en core “Ladies «nd gentlemen,” said the singer as soon as the noise had somewhat abated, “I am sorry to inform you that Maud is laboring under a severe cold. In fact, her mamma has just sent her to bed. Under these circumstances it will be quite useless for me to ask Maud to come into the garden again thi6 even ing. As soon as she has recovered I shall only be too happy to oblige you. ” —London Tit-Bits. Behind the Age. FOR GOOD HEALTH. JERUSALEM'S BOOM. Kugg-estioui* a. to the Uses and Luxury ot Ì the Daily Hatbs In Summer Weather. • Every 24 hours the human body loses an amount of heat by radiation from the snrfac-J during perspiration. But, con- [ irary t > v.-li-.r might seem probable at first thought, this loss is ottener advan tageous than otherwise. In this way an escape pipe, so to speak, is provided for thu Luman mech anism, and just as the escape pipe of a th-am angina is self regulating, so for tunately tile radiation of the heat from ' the surface of tho body is under the con- I ti • 1 of tue nervous system. When the fact is made apparent to. the nerve centers that the temperature ; of the body is getting too high, notice is ■ immediately sent along the nerves to ' open wider the blued vessels at the sur- ' face of the body, with the result that j the blood flows nearer the surface, the sweat glan.ls urestin.ulated to increased action, more water is excreted bv them, ami with the water goes off the hent. Since it is by this means largely that the supeifluous heat of the body in health as well as in disease is got lid of, it is clearly very important, especially at this time of the year, that the pores of the skin should never bo allowed to become clogged. With the increased amount of dust in the atmosphere and its natural propen sity for adhering to the perspiring body thu daily bath becomes more of a neces sity during the summer mouths than ut any other time uf the year. One should take great care, however, that the bod ily temperature is reduced ¡is nearly as possible to normal before the bath is taken, if the. temperature be somewhat high aud the body perspiring freely, the • danger of taking cold will be increased j by reason uf the sudden congestion ut I the blood ill the dilated vessels at the < surface of the body. Much of the advantage to be derived ' from sea bathing will be lost unless the j crusts of salt that form in the pores ol ! the skin on the evaporation of the water ' are removed by subsequent brisk towel- 1 iug or fresh water sponging. Not only is the perspiration an etti- | cient means of removing superfluous | heat, but by this same channel go out I many of the waste products of the body i These waste products are always rtla j tively increased in the summer months, ; and so it is doubly important that dur ing this trying season we should keep ' the skin in a healthy and cleanly conJi- ! tiou.—Youth’s Companion.

There is one industry which is not iu , the least affected by the hard times. : This is The Recoid division of the gov- i erument printing office, which ha= I charge of printing congressional speech- I es for distribution. There has never1 been a congress when the presses were : worked so incessantly for this purpose. ■ Already over 5,000,000 speeches have! been sent out over the country under congressional franks, and the number is piling up daily until by the close of the session it is expected that it will far ex ceed any record which has hitherto been made. Tom Johnson alone gave an or der for 1,000,00.’) copies of his speech on the income tax in the tariff bill. He leads the recor d. But in the number of speeches ordered by other congressmen Burrows heads the list. Over zuu.uuO copies of his tar iff speech have been issued, and he has taken very few himself. Most of them have been sent to western fanning con stituencies by Republican representa tives. Reed’s speech at the close of the i tariff debate is not printed by the go-7-1 eminent printing office, but by one uf j the private concerns in Washington, aud ! Chis has just about equaled that of Bur rows. There is a great demand for Wil son’s speech on the Democratic side, and tens uf thousands uf copies of the speech of Crisp have also been sent out. In the Senate 20, Oou copies of Senator Lodge’s speech have gone out, many senators franking them tu the college students in their states. Senator Morrill’s speech is also iu great demand, aud the first speech delivered by Senator Hoar has gained a wide circulation. The efforts of Voorhees ami Mills, which opened and closed respectively the general debate in the senate, have been circulated almost as widely by Republicans as by Dew crats—Boston Advertiser. “Bi»sell” Pnstoffice». There is now a “Bissell” postoffice in nearly every state in the Union. When Mr. Bissell was appointed postmastei general, nut a single postoffico in the country was honored by the name of "Bissell.” Mr. Bissell has since cor rected this singular omission on the part of former postmaster generals, aud when The Postal Guide was printed last De cember had already added an even dozen ' ’Bissells” to the postoffice nomenclature of the country. He has been steadily progressing ever since, and there are now probably between 20 and 25 post- offices so designated. In some cases the naming of a postoffice after the postmas ter general is pure sycopfiantry. Ofteu- er, however, the name is suggested by the department in cases where there is any difficulty over the selection of a proper title for an office. In The Postal Guide printed last December there are 29 “Clevelands” aud 19 “Grovers.” The "Bissell” offices will eventually outnumber all others.—Indianapolis Journal. f When the Mother Hubbard toilet was I abroad in the land, one Ohio town dis tinguished itself by passing a law pro hibiting the wearing of the gown out side of house limits.

Two sailing boats wore taken by train from Jaff a ti Jerusalem and then conveyed in carts to the Jordan, where they were floated down the river to the Dead sea, and they are now engaged iu picking up the bitumen, which is in much request m Europe. The consul thinks it would lie advan tageous to trade with the iulaud dis tricts if a steam launch aud lighters were placed uu the Dead soa tu ferry across the produce of Moab, which is a country that is rich iu cereals, fruit aud cattle. At present it is conveyed by caravaus round the north or south end of the Dead sea, entailing a journey of from four to live days.
