-A Volume couLl bo written on popular
error on cientino subjects. So few people
o)arve for thomsolvt, and no many accept
what tiiey Lvar from others, or what they
read, that it In a wonder there are not more
errors Axed in tho popular mind on such sul
Jncts. One hardly knows where to legin on
the list, tmt attention U first culled to the
loose manner In which terms, especially
names, are applied. Take tho common
gopher as an example The true gopher is of
a gray color, and U alxot tho izo of a large
rat. Ho lion largo .ouches on each side of
hi mouth in which he carries dirt when
making hU burrows in the ground. His front
t't'th ttaitd out the most prominently in any
of tho great family of gnawers rodenlia.
II U tail is thort ami looks very much like
that of a rat. In nome parts of the country
a gray ground squirrel in called a gopher.
In other parts a htriptd squirrel or prairie
chipmunk is called l.y that name, while iu
Ix' u--is, Nebraska and many parts of the
est, a small marmot, which is closely allied
to tho prairie dog, is called a gopher. Those
marmots aro quito common in the country
around this city. In most parts of tho south
west a kunk is called a polecat and a polecat
is called a mink for tho western so called
mink is nothing but a oIecat. It took 200
years for the jpular belief to bo given up
that beavers use their tails for trowels. In
some places yet school readers can bo found
that teach such nonsense.
THE PKAIUIE 1KJO FICTIOX.
Another jopular Action is that if o fie shoots
a prairio dog his mates will rush out and
carry him into ono of their dens boforo it is
possible to get possession of him. It is true
that such things have actually occurred.
Itats have been known to io the same thing,
but the instances are rare. Usually a coun
try thr.t is inhabited by prairie dogs, or more
properly by prairie marmots, has a dry, thin
atmosphere. This condition deceives the
hunter and causes hiiu to shoot so far at the
little creatures that in tho larger number of
cases he misses entirely. Iu the second place,
these animals never stop when danger is near
until they aro at the mouth of a hole. Then
they will stop and sit ujx.ii their haunches in
such a manner that if they are shot they are
nearly sure to fail inside the hole. Tho
prairio marmots, mentioned above, that one
tees in tho country around this city, have the
same habit that of stopping at tho mouth of
their holes and sitting ujion their haunches
to look nrouinL Another error is tho calling
of nearly every insect a bug. Potato beetles,
June beetles. May lieetles, etc., are all called
bugs, when tliey are loetles. The bed bug
and tho chinch bug aro truo bugs, but nearly
everything else usually called by that name
lielongs to the great family of beetles. A
beetle opens his mouth sidewise, while the bug
opens his perj-endicularly as we open ours.
Worms are all regarded as worms whether
they aro true worms or not. Angle or lish
worms are trua types of worms. Most other
Wt rms that one sees are tho larvae of insects,
and will becomo imagos or perfect insects iu
time. Tho common "grub worm" becomes a
May L?ctle. The large white "grub worms'
that have a bluish list down their backs be
come "umble bugs," the truo scavenger
beetles. People often speak of "eight legged
insects' or "ten legged insects," unmindful
of the fact that an insect has six legs, and no
more or no less. Spiders, then, having eight
j legs are not insects. AVe speak of the time
r when the "grasshoppers destroyed the crops,"
when we mean that the locusts destroyed the
crops, and the insects we usually call locusts
are the seventeen year cicadas
THE "HOUSE nAIR SNAKE."
The "horso "jr.ir snake" is another common
source of error Tho creature that is usually
called by that name originates and has a life
history oj follows: A small flesh colored mite
is in water. It changes to a purplish lead
color and comes to the top of the water,
whore it port for a time, and when looking
across water of a still evening, esjiecially if
looking towards the setting sun, one can see
masses of these tiny creatures that look like
smoke on tho water. Wh?n they reach this
stage of development they leavo the water
and get out ou the leaves and grass. Here,
as opportuuity offers, they attach themselves
to the feet of largo insects, especially of
grasshoppers, katydids, etc. The legs of
these insects being hollow, they c; j.'-vi up
them, where they grow till they All the legs
and sometimes tho cavities of the bodies of
these large insects. This accounts for tho
fat, clumsy condition of many of these in
sects. After a rain, in which the insects
drown, the full fledged "horse hair snakes"
come forth to delight the small boy and to
interest tho student of nature, after which
they lay eggs in the water, if It does not dry
up too soon, ami curl around them for a
time, and about the time the eggs hatch into
the little flesh colored mites first described
tho '"snakes" die. It is not claimed that this
- is the history of all "horse hair snakes," but
it is the true history of all that I know any
thing about.
Another error in tho application of nam03
is noticeable iu tho vegetable world. This is
to the so called sycamore. The truo syca
more acer psrudo platantus grows only in
England, or, at most, the British Isles. Our
tree platantus occidentalis should bo called
but ton wood. The true sycamore is as
worthless as buckeye or horse chestnut.
Another error is held regarding the Virginia
creeper ampelopsis cinque folium that
grows so abundantly along our fences and in
ur forests. It is a beautiful plant and per
fectly harmless. It can be trained over stone
or brick walls, over windows, doors, lattices
or arbors, so as to give a nitst pleasing effect ;
but most people think it is poisonou. They
'""f mistake it for the poison ivy rhus toxico-
dendron which also grows abundantly
throughout the country. The beautiful Vir
ginia creeper, or American ivy, grows plen
tifully along the Missouri river bluffs and
along old fence rows on the uplands. The
Virginia creeper has five leaflets on each leaf
stalk, while the poison ivy has three leaflets.
Tho creeper is a dark, rich green, and in au
tumn changes to a vivid russet. The poison
ivy is of a lighter green color, but changes
to a maroon or magent.i in autumn. It also
has many more lateral tendrils than the
'.' creeper has, and consequently sticks closer to
whatever it grows upon. Edwin Walters in
Bt. Louis Republic.
A Very Remarkable Story.
This remarkable tale comes from France
and no aCidavit goes with it: In the forest of
literel a man and a woman were at work
while their infant child, aged C months, lay
in a cradle in front of their cottage within
sight. Suddenly an enormous eagle swooped
down, seized tbe babe and flew oil. The fa
ther rushel into the hut, picked up Lis gun,
and returning, fired at the bird, which
dropped to the earth C ad, while the father,
holding out his hands, caught tbe infant as
it fell and returned it to tho cradle without
n scratch. Sow York .Sun, . ,
EFFECT8 OF CITY LIFil.
iMctc of Arm and Shoulder Exerrl
cM.nt Nolae Shock.
-In-
An English physician of distinction. Dr.
Walter U. I'latt, contributes to Tho I'opular
Science Monthly a suggestive fmpcr on cer
tain "Injurious influences of City lAfe." llo
confines his observations to these points: (1)
The disuse of the arms for any considerable
muscular exertion by the great majority of
men and women. (2) 1 he incessant noi.se of
a large city. (S) Jarring of the brain and
spinal cord by continual treading upon pu ire-
men ts.
The effect of these influences, according to
Dr. I'latt, is to undermine- the stability of
tho nervous system and to impair the circu
lation and general nutrition. These effects
accumulate with each successive generution
of city dwellers, and it is asserted that there
aro very few families now living in London
who, with their predecessors, have resided
there continuously for three generations.
in regard to the lack of arm ami shoulder
exercise, the doctor points out that it has an
important bearing on tho general heahh of
both men and women, since it increases tho
capacity of tho chest und thereby the surface
A the lung tissue, so essentia) to the proper
purification of the blood. In tho city the
muss of people can only get this benefit
through gymnasium work, or some form of
homo exercise, like pulling weights, dumb
bells or Indian clubs. Tho writer insists
Uon arm exerciso as necessary to a erfect
physical condition and to tho prevention of
nervous irritability and consequent mental
disorder.
The injurious effect of incessant noise ns
an irritant to tho nerve centers has leeu
demonstrated by experiment, as well ns con
firmed by observation. A largo share of this
noiso iu the residential ortions of cities is
unnecessary, and should lie btopped. "Tho
loud ringing of church bells at all hours of
tho day and night, in this nge, when every
cno knows the hour of service, hardly recom
mends tho religion of good will to men," says
tho doctor. Streets of residences should be
paved with asphalt; underground roads
should supplant elevated structures, and nil
unnecessary noises or street traffic and vend
ing should be forbidden.
To prevent the shock to the brain and
siwial cord caused by the jar of walking on
lirick or stone tho doctor suggests an elastic
rubber boot lieel. In this country very little
heed is jwid to the nerves of tho people; they
aro lucky to escape with their lives from tho
many jicrils. But anything that tends to
make city life more agreeable and beautiful
ought certainly to be encouraged. Now

The Writer As lie Writes.
When you just legiu to bo an author tho
sight of the blank sheet of paper gives you
an appetite instead of depriving you of it.
You long to be at work and cover it with ink
marks. A new writer not only enjoys writ
ing, but rewriting also; I have known authors
who will copy out a piece, over and over
again, until the page upjiears without an
erasu-e. That is not a lud tiling by way of
practice, and would no doubt bo advocated
by the printers. But it is not likely to bo
kept up more than two or three years. After
that tbe writer knows what ho is going to
write before he writes it; ho has learned the
art of putting the contents of his mind di
rectly on the paper; besides, he has not th-s
time to make copper plato reproductions of
his work. He is more apt to put it off to the
last i iracticable moment, and then to do it as
rapidly as he can. And by and by it will bo
irksome to hini to do it at all ; and he will
wish that fortune would present him with a
year's vacation, during which he could lie on
his back and do nothing.
'There is a period iu the writing of every
book when it seems impossible it should ever
ba finished. What has gone before seems bad,
and what is to come is either a blank, or it
promises to bo worse than the beginning. An
apathy, a paralysis, settles upon the worker;
h wishes he had taken up butchering or
liquor selling for a living. Every day that
he postpones tho completion of his task it ap
pears more hopeless; his mind is gloomy, his
conscience oppressed; ho haunts his study,
but effects no more than a ghost might; ho
draw3 pictures on scraps of paper, reads
books thai do not interest him, or even plaijs
out work th:it can only be executed at some
indefinite future opportunity; at last his
final moment of graco expires, and ho sits
down in desperation and plunges his pen into
tho inkstand. The work goes on, and then
b wonders how ho could have imagined any
difficulty. The word "Finis" is written, and
he experiences an uplifting of the spirit.
Thackeray, according to all accounts, waj
subject to distressful periods of this kind;
but ho declares, in one of his essays, that
after finishing a given book it was his custom
always to begin another before going to bed

Driving Out the Cattlemen.
Immigration is coming with a resistless
tide. Ex-Governor Routt, ono of tho great
cattle owners of the wst, when speaking of
how the routes were being so rapidly set
tied, recently said: Tho cow must give way
to Nancy and the baby." Tho first indica
tion of the coming of this great tide of im
migration was manifested by cattlemen put
ting up wire fences and inclosing vast areas
of land. This sufficed for a time, but immi
gration still continued, and then after much
litigation tho courts said: "Take down 3-our
wiro fences." As the cattlemen occupied
these great ranges for a quarter of a century
before it was ever thought possible for them
to have any value for agricultural purposes,
jt is not strange that they 6hould I'.avt inado
the determined fight they have. The plow
share uow glistens in tho eld "American
Desert" and tho old cattle trails are being
turned into fai-rus. The east can hardly
realise the wonderful changes that aro talk
ing place. Within twenty-fivp "rears, th
buffalo, wbjch used to roam these plains by
tho tens of thousands, are almost extinct.
Tho great herds of the cattle kings took tho
place of the bison, but now tho cattle ranges
arc being turned into farms.
What wiil be the result! The general im
preasion is that thcro bo more cattle, but
with more owners. The public domain will
soon all be taken, which will necessitate tho
dividing and subdividing of the great herds.
The result will come about in a natural way
and without loss, but rather with profit. As
the grazing area becomes more circumscribed
tho greater the necessity for winter feeding
and tho production of some kind of feed that
will more readily prepare stock for the
niarkei Sach feed consists of alfalfa,
sorghum hay, Johnson and other varieties of
farm grasses, oil cake, roots, etc., whiie iu
parts of western and southern Texas prickly
p.-ar (a species of cacti) is being largely used
with cottou seed meal or oil cake, with
v.bicli it is claimed cattle may be easily fat
tened. The beef from cjiiraab thus fed is
said to be of a most excellent quality and
flavor. Denver Cor. Globe-Democrat.

"Next Sunday will bo wet."
"How can 3'ou tell r
"Wet Friday, wet Sunday, replied an old
fisherman who was smoking a well colored
meerschaum pijo and discussing a cup of
strong, black coffee in an eating saloon. Ho
was a typical fisherman. He had largp,
clear bluo eyes, a bushy head of hair, and a
Land as hard as a marlinspike. He stoutly
denied that sailors were superstitious, and
maintained that their reasonings were
founded on fact und not fiction. No book
for him. In spite of his denial, however, fish
ermeu aro probably the moct superstitious
class of eople on earth.
"J 11st toll me somet hing alout a fisherman's
life and his superstition," asked the reorter
of the veteran.
"Fishermen don't have any suwrstitions,
sir, and if they havo they are far below thoso
that you land lubbers are a prey to."
"You just now mentioned one; 'wet Friday,
wi t Sunday.' "
"That's no superstition; that's a fact and
one 3-ou can't alter. I've grown old in tho
business, and as loug as 1 can remember I've
never seen a wet Friday that was not fol
lowed by a wet Sunday."

"Don't you think it sui?rstitions not to go
fishing 011 Friday Why should you select
that as being an unlucky dayf-'
"No, I don't. Just so long ns fish have
lived in tho water and men have taken them
out. Friday has been an unlucky day for
our trade. You just try it and you'll find
that I'm right."
"Why is it that you never ullow whistling
on board a fishing boat if"
"Because, mo boj it's calling on old Nick
Wo mako his a pi oa rat ice, and ho alwa3-s brings

"Fishermen don't like to begin any under

"Now, if 0110 of your shipmates should

"es, sir; I never saw it fail 3-et, and I
have seen a good many broken in mj' time,
and just as sure as it occurred a gale came on
and blew great guns, and wo were compelled
to run for shelter. If that failed, then we
?aught no fish. I've known men that had to
;o out of the business because they were
ilvva3"S smashing things, and 110 ono would
sail with them. I dare say 3-011 would laugh
at 1110 if I told you that I got a good drubbiug
from a skipper under whom 1 once sailed bo-
causo I shoved the dory off from the side of
too ship with her head pointing to the suu."

SIGNS OF THE KEAVEXs.
"Oh, that is simple. Year in and 3'ear out
we study the signs of the lieaveua, which are
very accurate. Lertam stars, bright or
dull, mean certain things. The wind from
a given certain quarter in a certain month
is almost suro to bring stormj', fair, dry or
wet weather, as the case ina be. The moon
gives us a good deal of ini'ormutioi ; if she s
u her back, then lookout for a storm; if
her horns are well pointed then 3-ou may ex-
pect cool or cold weather, according to the
season of tho 3-our. If there is a large, hazy
circle around tho moon, then vou may look
out for a good rain storm or a steady rain

3-0111 lines?"
"That's as easy as smoking 3-our pipe. You
eeo, a rock or a bank is situated exactly by
tho compass in a certain bearing of locality.
Well, we can tell just as well without a com
pass, and it is very simple. Supposo the
fishing ground is ten, twenty or thirty miles
from the land. AVe sail in the direction of
it until we get two headlands in one, as it
were. Then we can tell to a dot how far wo
are out, and consequently we know whero
tho fishing bunk is, but we sail 011 until one
f-f the headlnuds or bayjks is visible; that
gives 11s so many miles, just as exactly a3 if
3-ou measured it with a tape, so that we know
where we are. A high church steeple, ft

"Then it isn't true lUat you can tell by tho

"In some cases we can, but as a general
rule our land bearings are the most reliable."
"There is no emergency that would compel
a fisherman to make any repairs on idondaj,
either in the sail department, rigging or hull
of tho vessel."
"E.-tpevieiiee has taught us that Suuda3"3
must be kept. If you drive a nail in the

IJurning Cricks iu a Kiln.
Burning bricks in a kiln seems to be a very
easy matter, but if one looks into the busi
ness ho will find that such an impression is
entirely incorrect. I have been at the busi
ntss twenty-five 3-ears, and I believe that I
am in a position to speak intelligently on the
subject. When the bricks leave tho press
they are taken to the kilns and piled in such
a manner as to permit the heat to reach every
brick. Of course, the layers near tho fires
are always burned harder than those on top,
and it is the amount of heat that regulates
the grades. The bricks that get the most
heat are strictly hard; further up you will
find the medium, and on tho top of the kilns
we get the salmon, the softest grade, used for
filling up between the walls. When the fires j
are started the greatest card must be exer- I
cised, and if the burner who has charge of '
the kiln don't understand his business, he
may ruin tho bricks. Too much heat will
bring about such a result just the same as an
insufllcient amount. Tbe rtock brick, which
are formed in finer molds, are burned in
different kilns from the other grades, and, as .
they are very hard, you can see that they i
must be subjected to an intense heat. Brick

BROOKLYN LAUNDRIES.
CONVERSATION WITH "JOHN CHI
NAMAN" AS TO THE BUSINESS.
A Woman's Opinion on Hand Work and
Steam Work Ueat of the Drying Room.
VUlt to m Steam Laundry Machine
Work.
Chancing ono day to bo passing a Chinese
laundry which had the name James L Yu on
the door, the thought suggested itself to tho
seriljo to step in and seo how the laundry
business is carried on.
"Hello," said the reporter, "how is busi
ness r
"Oh, business no good. People all gone to
country; no make much now."
"Will 3-ou tell mo how inueh you average
of a week and how much you pay your assist
ant?" "Make about 1 15 a week in winter, some
times $'20 or $23. Pay him (his assistant) $10
a week. Then have to pay t'-iO a mouth for
house, and coal and wood, 1 ght and rice,
vegetables and meat cost."
"Will 3"ou let me see tho back room?'
"Yes, I let 3-ou see, but no stay long here
now; want 3-ou go home."
Tho reporter started back into the kitchen,
which was to hot that nobody but a China
man could stand t any longer than five min
utes. There was nothing in it but a few
pans, a rack, a tablo, two chairs and a redhot
stove. Between the store and the kitchen, in
a sort of passagewa', were two bunks, very
much on the plan of stateroom berths, one
over the other.
Chinamen, generally speaking, live ou rice
and vegetables very little meat. They eat
tho rico with chop sticks, and when eating
they never sit on a chair properly, but pluce
their feet on tho chair and assume a sort of
doubled up position. In writing they use a
long reed with camel's hair stuck in ono end
in the shape of a brush. This instrument is
called a "bid."
"Do you go to Sunday school f' asked tho
reporter.
"Yes, I go to Methodist Sunday school in
Atlantic street. No burn Joss' stick no
more, no worship him no more. Now you
go homo?" said ho suddenly.
alking up Pulton street the reporter
came to a laundry kept by a native. Would
sho give any information!
'Oh, certainl3'; with pleasure."
'Will 3-ou tell me how long you have been
in this business, and if it pa3-si("
ell, I've been in it about three or four
years now. As to its paying, I think it does.
I manage to make a good living out of it, be-
sido giving employment to eight women, not
couutirg two girls who stand behind the
counter to do up tho clothes and wuit on the
customers. And it is all hand work, too."
"Do you not find it vcr3' warm in tho sum
mer P
'Oh, 3-es, it is warm all tho time, winter
and summer, in the dr3ing room ;" hero she
showed a small room in the back of tho storo
and opening the door, said: "This is the diy-
; room, as you can see we have a stove
red hot ail the time, and this room is lined
with sheet iron, so that there is 110 danger
from it and all the heat remains within."
'Do you think this business is injurious la
health?"
"Not a bit of it. It would, br, r.robablo if
wo had to bo over that hot stove all day. but
you seo I have another Bt6ve coiinr down in
the kitchen, and that is where the irons aro
heated. Of course, it is hot. but not nearlv
so hot as the drying room."
"What do you think of the steam laun
ur'esr' I don't think much of them, to tell the
truth. I suppose it lightens the labor a good
deal to havo rollers to iron with by steam,
but then 3-ou'U find that the collars and cuffs
and other things will eventually be worn out
Detoro their time by that system."
" hat do you think of the Chinese V
'The Chinese, is it! Well I never look at a
Chinaman but what ho puts mo in mind of a
dried up monkey. But as for them washing
and ironing any Christian's garments, I tell
3-ou if I never had anything washed I
wouldn't get a Cbinamaa to do it Fudge, I
can't bear thorn, "
The next visit was to a steam laundry.
"Do 3-ou employ many hands F'
"Well, between twenty and thirty, I think.
And I would not be surprised but what next
winter we will havo to employ more, as this
kind of work is constantly increasing.
People don't care to have their white good
douo at home. Whether it is because they
are not done up nice enough for them, I don't
know, but in nino cases out of ten you will
find that all the whito goods find their way
to the different laundries in the city."
"What do 3rou mean by white goods!"
"Oh, collars, cuffs, shirts, ladies' collars,
fckirts, etc Of course, we do more of a busi
ness in men's collars, cuffs and shirts than
anything else."
"In 3-our opinion, does it injure clothes
any, this steara work?"
"WI13', bless your heart, no! How could
it. Some people havo an idea that we merely
sov.so tho things once or twico in tho water,
starch and dry them and then put them
through the ironing rollers. But wo don't
do anything of tho sort. Tho clothes in this
lanndiy are thoroughly and carefully washed,
and as carefully finished off before they
leavo our hands."
uJIow many drying rooms have you J"
"We have only one drying room, but it
contains no less than five medium sized
stoves, and it extends nearly the full length
of the cellar. Do you know I think we have
tho best drying room in the city ! Why if you
put a new shirt in there, in five minutes after
you put it in you can take it out bone dry."
"How does hand work compare with thia
steam work?"
"Well, I don't pretend to know half as
much as some people, but my opinion is that
when a machine can lightenthe labor, why I
say use tho machine by ali'wieans, no mat
ter what the motive power. As for hand
work, well it's all well enough in its way, but
let thoso who like it do it. Steam work is
the thing; why, while a woman at tho old
hand work system is finishing one collar we
can finish two every thro; of course blurts
have to be done by hand."
"Do you know if the other steam laundries
take iu skirtsF'
"Well as to that I couldn't say. There is
not much in them, in fact there's more bother
than their worth, but then 3-ou know if a
lady saj-s she wants a thing done it has got to
be done, and that's an end of it."
"Can you tell me about how much you
average a day or week F'
"Well I would not like to tell that, bnt ycu
can seo for yourself that if this laundry em-PI03-S
about twenty people all summer round,
and ten or fifteen more in the winter, with
the fact that business is constantly improv
ing, why then of course, we do take in a little
money." "F. C." in Brooklyn Eagle.
