Uf-XKini; newKiiapers seems to b one of th M-LU.itions of Gotham's small boy, and according to one of these urchins a yood revenue is derived from the bu.siue.H.s. The practice is known as "Caiuula business." A gang of eight oi ten boys liesiege the entrance to the hridge and elevated road every morning and keep an argus eye on all jiersons carrying newspapers. They stretch out their arms asking for the newspaper md often prll them out of the hands oi passers by. The "newsies" are very persistent, and occasionally get into little snarl with dyspcptici persons who get down town in bad humor. The temper of tZ'uso people might be intensified' dM they know that, according to a con f 6. sion of one of the boys, a newsdealer of a eiieculative turn of mind originally put the boys up to the practice they fol low. If the newspapers are too much soiled to sell, the boys turn them ovei to the speculator, who holds them in re serve, paying the boys a pittance and then realizing full value by handing them over to the respective newspapers as "return" and getting copies of the current date for them. The youngsters have learned his meth od though, and most of them do theb own "returning" as well as "begging" now. The practice is bad every way, as it is fast converting the little hustlers into indolent beggars. New York Com mercial Advertiser. "All's Well That Kmls Well." The Scotch, with unconscious absurd ity, sometimes talk of "tempting Prov idence." In writing "All's Well That Ends Well," Shakespeare was "tempt ing" the higher criticism. Ever since the days of Zenodotus in Alexandria the higher criticism ha9 reveled in "athe tizing," or marking as spurious, this part of an author's work because it is "un worthy of him," that part because it is 'not in his style," a third portion lie cause it is a rejietition of something he has said elsewhere, and so on, till in Homer there are few lines to wfcich some German or some Alexandrian Greek has not urged objections. To similar exercises of idle ingenuity has "All's Well That Ends Well" been ex posed. When Lucian met Homer in the For tunate islands, he asked the poet which of the rejected passages were really his own. "All and every one of them,' answered the shade; and Shakespeare's ghost might have made as inclusive a response to critical inqtiiries. Yet "All's Well" is certainly a play full of difficul ties and enigmas. It was first printeu in the folio of 1023, and very badl printed it was. None of the drama, contains so many passages that appear tc be corrupt; none is so rich in the unin telligible; none so open to conjectural emendation. Andrew Lang in Harper's Crafty Master Fox. A fox was one day seen coming ouo ol a pile of stones near the water side. lie hid in the heather for awhile and then pushed out something on the water, which proved to be a bunch of moss. The wind took it into the middle of the lake and blew it past some ducks sitting on the surface. Having watched his venture for per haps ten minutes with apparent satis faction, and observed that it neared the ducks without arousing their suspicions, our friend began to collect another and larger bunch of moss, which he allowed to float in the same direction, but this time he swam behind it, taking care to show only his eyes and nose above water. Just aa it was passing the group of ducks he made a sudden dive, pulled down a bird and swam back to shore under water. Arrived there he carried the duck to the pile of stones, where his wife and daughter were no doubt wait ing to enjoy the fruits of his labors. "Forty-five Years of Sport." Immunity for the Fireflies. Eirds do not eat fireflies, and eve bats, which seem to eat everything else that they can chew or 6wallow, never touch a lightning bug. There must be something distasteful in this insect to the feathered world, and thus the spe cies is preserved, for if it were not so lightning bugs would soon become ex tinct, as the torch they carry would only serve the purpose of attracting their enemies. It may be that the uncanny appear ance of the insect, giving forth as it does a brilliant flash of "light every mo ment or two, deters birds and bats from attacking it, but if a lightning bug were a toothsome morsel to a bird's bill, any number of the feathered world would soon overcome their repugnance to tht little living torch and go hunting foi lightning .bugs. St. Louis Globe-Demo crat. Wild Horses in Russia. In the steppes of Russia, where wolves abound and the horses lead a wild life and have to shift for themselves, it is said that a young colt will sometimes be made so furious by the persecutions of his enemies that he will rush wildlv among a drove of wolves and bite and strike until he has slaughtered a large number of them. These horses are ex ceptionally fierce, rendered so, it is sup posed, by the extreme variations in the climate. At one time of the year they suffer from the intense heat of a tropical sun" and at another they live among raging snowstorms and extreme cld, r Washington Star. The Polite gwliumir. Directly the bathing season comes on a rTomiiH-nt feature of it apiears in the person of the polite and gentlemanly ewimmer who is of no earthly conse quence on land, yet whose natatorial ac complishments render him, in his own eyes at least, absolutely bewitching iu the water. He is so jiolite, is this essentially sum mer production. His hand is always out stretched to guide into the briny the timid, shrinking bather of the feminint persuasion. So good is his heart hv needs no introduction. He is above tho mere petty trifles of mundane propriety, and in a spirit of genuine philanthrop comes to the rescue of the fair in a pro miscuous manner delightful to behold. His attentions are extremely numerous, yet lie does discriminate in a measure, as his gentle offices are usually per formed for the prettier and younger novices at the shrine of Neptune. Simply in a spirit of kindness and with a desire to overcome their exces sive timidity he guides them far out where the water is deep and the waves are high, and then smiles rapturously when they cling to him in abject terror. He does not realize that they would embrace a rope or 6par with the same fervor, but considers it a compliment to his own personality, which, in all prob ability, has made no impression what ever on the terrified female. When not playing knight to beauty in distress he splashes, f oats and swims for the edification of the people assembled on the beach and seems to consider him self the star attraction of the resort, ne is indigenous to this season and this land. No other clime could produce so rare and perfect a specimen of officious mas culine vanit- s does our own delightful one. Phil 'iia Times. lis Genealogy. The late Professor Elias Loomis lie came interested in the subject of gene alogy in early life, and for nearly forty years before his first publication he col lected from time to time materials for a list of the descendants of his ancestor, Joseph Loomis, who came from Brain tree, England, and settled in Windsor, Conn., in 1639. In 1870 he published a list containing 4,340 descendants of Jo seph Loomis bearing the Loomis name. After five years of research he published the second edition of the "Loomis Gene alogy," in which are given 8.CS0 names which bore the Loomis name, descen dants of Joseph Loomis in the maJe branches. Five years later, in 1880, he printed, iu two additional volumes, a provisional list of 19,000 descendants of Joseph Loomis in the female branches. At the time of his death he left in manuscript many corrections and additions that will be of use to the future Loomis gene alogist. Newton's Memoria of Elias Loomis. He Never Drinks Water. Jack Irvin, of the Glover's Mill coun try, bears the distinction of being prob ably the only, living man in the United States who has not swallowed a drop of water for thirty-six years. Mr. Irvin is now in his eighties, and for more than an average lifetime has rigorously ab stained from the use of the liquor that fills but does not inebriate. Neither does he drink intoxicating liquors. At his meals Mr. Irvin drinks coffee or tea or milk, as the notion takes him. Be tween meals when Mr. Irvin feels his thirst growing he gets out his pipe and smokes it. While Mr. Irvin is in pretty fair health, his neighbors say that his looks would indicate that he is pretty well dried up. Glasgow Times. Canada's Biggest Man.

The Englishman who, following Charles Francis Adams, declared that the safest place in which to spend ai hour or two is an express train on one of the main railways, has had his idea confirmed by the fact that last year only five passengers were killed on all the railways of the United Kingdom, where as in the streets of the metropolis alon 147 deaths and 5,784 personal injuries resulted from accidental circumstances connected with the vehicular traffic. Boston Transcript. Too Hot to. Think. A Brooklyn housewife took her cook to task the other day for carelessness and f orgetfulness.
