"Sny, Buffalo must bo about twenty years behind tho times, ain't It?" said a drummer at the Tlfft house yesterday. I saw a mnn try to work tho old glovo racket In front of tho hotel to day. I had gotten tho Idea that the glovo game was too old to bo worked by any one. Tho Buffalo man was too cute to bo caught, though, so perhaps tho only antiquity in the town was the man that resurrected tho old gamo to rnlso a dollar. "Did you over neo It worked? No? You ought to have been hero a couple of hours ago. A woll-drcBsed gentleman was walking down tho street when a Becdy-looklng Individual who was standing In tho doorway suddenly stepped out behind tho gentleman and dropped a glovo at his heels without tho man seeing him. "Then ho tapped him on tho shoul der. " 'Say, mister, Is that your glovo?'- "Tho gentleman answered in tho ncgatlvo and was about to walk away when tho tramp stooped and picked up the glove. Fumbling it over ho soon pulled out a ring from ono of tho fin gers. It looked llko a gonulno diamond ring, too. "Of course tho tramp had a surprised look on his face Ho Bald to tho gentle man: " 'Say, mister, I'm a poor man and can't afford to keep anything llko this, but It was a pretty lucky find, wasn't it? What'll you give mo for tho ring?" "Tho gentleman looked tho ring over carefully and then handed it back to the tramp with n laugh. " 'I guess I don't wont that thing not Just now, anyway,' and ho walked away. "There was a tlmo when tho police found it necessary to arrest men for working that dodge," continued tho drummer, "but I guess they havo for gotten their last 'catch by this time." COLORS AMONG FLOWERS. Ilotnnlsts liar All Flower Were Once VpIIiiw. Yellow and white. Botanists nro agreed that tho earliest petals wcro yel low, und thnt. originally, all flowers wero of that color. Tho order of de velopment of color In flowers appears to bo yellow, pink, red, purple, lilac, up to deep blue probably tho highest level whllo white niny occur In any normally colored llowcr, Just ns albinos aro found among animals. As flowers becomo moro specialized thoy become more dependent upon tho visits of spo clal Insects, purple and blue flowers, for Instance, benefitting most from and being most preferred by bees and but terflies. A French nuthorlty states that about 4,200 species of plants aro utilized for various purposes in Europe Of these only about one-tenth havo an agrccablo perfume, tho others being either inodorous or having an un pleasant smell. White flowers aro tho most numerous. One thousand ono hundred and twenty-four species out of -1,200 aro white, nnd 187 of these havo a scont; 931 (77 perfumed) nro yellow; next In order comes red, with 823, of which 84 give forth perfume; then blue, G94 (34 scented), and violet, 308, only 13 of which havo any per fume. Tho remaining 400 kinds nro of various shades of color, nnd only 28 of them havo a pleasant smell. Doston Stnndard. BUTLER FULL OF WAR- Kiiys llo Would I.llui to I.eml nil Army AkhIiisI CiiiiiiiIii. Ueforo departing for his southern homo nnd whllo talking to a group of reporters Senator M. C. Hutlcr of South Carolina, in n manner deeply Impress ive, whllo dlscur-slng tho relations be tween tho United States nnd Great Britain with referonco to tho Corlnto affair, said: "I have no criticism to put upon our government In thnl nf falr.

England doea not want to hnvo a war with us. Wo nro too valuablo to her commercially. And yet In her eagerness nntl greed tsho nay get Into it. I would not want anything better thnn to lend 10,000 men Into Canada. It would please my old heart immeasurably to assist In' snatching that country from Groat Hrltnln nnd attach It to ours. Wo may do It, too. Who knows?" Tho lilt; CltKM. Now York has' officially announced that her population Is Just 1,819,800. That settles a long-voxed question. Chicago Is tho largest city In the United Stntes, tho largest in tho west ern hemisphere, and tho third largest city in tho world.

During last August when cheap ex cursion trains wero being run to Nia gara Falls from nearly every section of tho country, ns Is tho custom every year, I was given charge of a ton-car train of Pullman sleepers delivered to the Erlo by a connecting lino running into "Darkest Indiana," says a writer In Chicago Inter Ocean. Tho passengers on this train were of tho raw bluo Jeans type, many of whom wero crossing tho borders of their state for the first time, and a big majority of them were getting their first tnsto of Pullman luxuries. As tho shades of night began to fnll tho thoughts of tho passengers naturally turned to sleep. In tho rear of tho Pullman was an elderly farmer and his wife hailing from ono of tho interior counties of tho state They wero tho first people in tho car to nsk tho porter to fix tholr bed, so they could "turn in." Their tickets called for ono of tho upper berths, which tho porter immediately made up for them. After tho porter had brought them tho ladder his at tention was called to tho other end of tho car, when to tho nmnzement of tho other passengers In tho car tho old lady quickly mounted tho laddor with tho alertness of n gymnast, climbed over tho curtain pole, and dropped into tho berth. When tho porter camo along tho old gentlemnn was In tho net of go ing through tho same performance. Tho porter Intercepted him beforo ho had completed his giant swing nnd grace fully parting the curtains showed tho mystified tiller of tho soli that there was an easier way of getting into an upper berth than by way of tho roof, nt which tho old man smiled nnd said ho wondered why Maria had not thought of splitting tho curtains. Tho train, which was running special nnd mnklng few stops, had not run very far after this Incident when I felt the train give a slight lurch as if tho airbrake had been suddenly applied. I gnvo llt tlo attention to this, but had hardly dismissed It from my mind when the trnln lurched ngaln. I was then con vinced that somebody was meddling with tho airbrake cord which runs nlong tho roof of tho car. Two ofllclals of tho passenger department of tho road who wero In tho rear sleeper felt tho Jerking of the train, nnd climbing stepladders at either end of tho car began to look for the trouble. Tho offi cial nt tho further end of tho car quick ly discovered tho leak. Tho old couplo who had scaled tho curtain polo to get Into their berth had mistaken tho alr brnlto cord for a clothes lino and hnd hung all of their wearing apparel, In cluding boots and shoes, on It. Tho weight of tho clothes hnd stretched tho cord so as to set the air brakes. Just as the plot had been discovered the old lady throw her "shnpo" over tho line. This broke tho camel's back. Tho air hissed, the brakes were set like a vise, and tho train brought to a dead stand still. Aftor tho cord was unloaded the old couplo were told of their mistake, nnd tho trnln piloted through the dark night without any further accidents. A COUPLE'S ADVENTURE. Short of riinds, but tho Gentleman Wns an Able. Financier. Among the throng on bicycles speed ing between Itldgowood nnd Tuxedo on Saturday afternoon wero a llttlo couplo not 'ot In their teens, says tho New York Sun. Tho little lady manip ulated tho wheel to perfection, nnd as they passed along thoy looked even moro interesting thnn tho beautiful country about them. They had halted nt Ramsey's, had cream nnd confec tionery, nnd had resumed their trip when rain begnn to fall. Hero wns a dilemma tho youth of 11 hnd not cal culated on. Haiti meant railroad faro back to Uldgewood, for In no circum stances could the young lady bo allowed to get wet. They hastened to tho first pallrond station. Tho youth snw tho wheels housed nnd then fished in his pockets for funds. Tho llttlo treat at the saloon hnd absorbed nearly nil his cash, but ho arose to tho occasion nnd in n confidential way whispered to tho ticket agent that if two could rldo on n whole ticket thnt cost less than two half tickets ho thought ho had suffi cient funds to buy ono. Then, to his dlsmny, tho lad discovered ho was 2 cents short even of tho prlco of ono whole ticket. He so informed tho agent nnd nsked for credit for thnt sum, promising to rolmburso him nt another tlmo. Tho ngont looked nt tho worried fnco of tho little girl and hand ed him out n ticket. Why 1'ollts Nlmko llnuds. When tho Iron glove might mean mischief it was a sign of penco to un cover tho hnnd In greeting. Thnt Is how tho custom, which Is so fast falling into neglect, of taking off tho glovo to shako hunds arose, and that Is why glovc.i havo always to bo removed on presen tation to tho queen nt court. Hut though tho 'glovo was removed, thorc was still, In the rough old days, soma fear of treachery, and that is why wo shako hands at nil, for when men mot they surrendered to tho grasp of tho other tho right nnd wcapon-wleldlng hand. Hnd it been posslblo for Presi dent Cnrnot, says Sir Horbert Maxwell; to insist on mutual surrender of right hands, the attack upon him would as suredly have miscarried. Didn't Need No .Much Oil. Just previous to tU big boom In oil ii gentleman who know tho condition ot affairs and was certnln that prices would go away up, went to a friend, who had moro ready cash than knowl edge ot the world, nnd said: "Frlond John, tho prlco of oil Is going to go up, bo I would udvlso you to buy 10,000 barrels." "Buy 10,000 barrels of oil?" was tht ptonlshed reply of tho man addressed, who looked as if ho thought his friend yias crazy; "why, I don't use a barrel In A year," WASHINGTON. Hhort ftketch About Mm Father of the. Republic It fell to Washington to establish precedents for tho social procedure of his successors as president, which ho did, in tho main wisely, simply, and well. Ho resolved, and so announced, that tho president ought not to be ex pected to make or return social calls. Instead, he established the custom of a public reception. This was given every Tuesday afternoon. Washington woro on these occasions "his hair powdered, gathered behind in a silk bag. His coat and breeches wcro of plain black velvot. Ho woro a white or pearl-colored vest and yellow gloves, and had a cocked hat In his hand. He had silver knee and shoo buckles, and n long Bword with a finely wrought and glit tering steel hilt. Washington nover shook hands with his guests, as is tho rttlo nowadays, but bowed to them with dignity. Dig nity was, Indeed, tho rule of the day. The senate sat always behind closed doors. Doth senators and representa tives were richly dressed and wore powdered hnlr, and every reception was as picturesque as tho very best modern "bal poudre" ever seen. Mrs. Washington's receptions wcro held on Frldny evenings, nnd nt theso tho president appeared without hat or sword, and comported himself simply ns ono of his wife's guests wltrl less formality of manner than at tho ofllclal reception. Tho Frldny receptions wero held in tho evening, but did not last until a lato hour. If guests remained past tho hour Mrs. Washington would remind them thnt "tho general retires nt 9, and I usually precede him." Tho Friday ovcnlng guests wcro seated and "tea nnd coffeo wcro hnnded round with plain nnd plumb cake." At tho public dinners, given weekly, thero was no ostentation of rich fnro. Ono such meal Is described as "boiled leg of mutton, with a few vegetables. After n simple dessert one glns3 of wlno was offered each guest." ENGLISH IN SOUND. A Unlciuo rurzllni; Componttlon 13-Yritr-Old hclioolflrl. Tho Northwestern Mngnzlno by ii gives tho following unique composition writ ten by a 12-year-old school girl. Let our young readers seo If they cannot mako It still moro puzzling: "A right sulto llttlo buoy, tho son of a kernel, with a rough round his neck, fluo up tho road ns quick as a dear. After a thymo ho stopped at tho house and wrung tho belle. His tow hurt hymn nnd ho kneaded wrest. Ho was two tired to raze his fare, pall face, nnd a feint mown of pnne rose from his lips. Tho mnde who herd tho belle was about to pair a pare, but she through it down nnd ran with all her mite, for faro her guessed would not weight, but when sho saw tho llttlo won tiers stood in her eyes nt tho site. 'Ewo poor dear. Why do you lye hear? Aro yew dye ing?' 'Know, ho said, 'I am feint.' Sho boar him inn her arms as sho ought, to a roam whero ho might bo quiet, gave him bred and meet, held a cent bottle under his knows, untldo his choler, rappod him warmly, gave him n suite drachm from a viol, till at last he went forth as hall as a young hoarse." IT DID LOOK SUSPICIOUS. Xrvertholesi the Overcoat Transaction W'nn Perfectly I.eKltlmntn. A robust young man, wearing a thick terra cotta overcoat, and a somewhat consumptive-looking com panion, minus an overcoat, left a well ltnown Chestnut 3trcet cafo together at n Into hour on Saturday night, says tho Philadelphia Record. Tho former gen erously tendered his warm outer gar ment to lila shivering companion, who gratefully ncccpted It for tho wnlk homo. On turning tho corner of Six teenth and Locust streatn tho pair wcro closely scrutinized by n big pollcemnn. Arrived nt his home, tho thin mnn re turned tho coat to his stout friend nnd the latter started back toward his hotel on nroad street. When ho reached tho corner of Slxteonth street tho pollce mnn grabbed him. "Pretty slick guy, you are!" he exclaimed, "but I'm on to thnt llttlo overcoat racket. I guess you got his pockctbook, too." "What do you mean, sir?" demanded tho Indignant citizen. "You Just tnko n rldo to tho statlon-ifouso," mildly urged tho cop, "nnd toll tho sergeant how you managed to get Into that other limn'it overcoat." Protestations wcro In vain. Tho mad man, with tho terra cotta overcoat, had to submlt.and only tho prosenco of his thin friend, whom ho promptly sent for, saved him from a cell. Tim CodlUli Kent to tho Hear. Tho historic codfish wns distinctly snubbed Monday. Mr. Irwin of North ampton rnlsed a point of order that tho house having ordered tho emblem of tho codfish to bo placed over tho speak er's chair tho order ot Mr. Roe ot Worcester to provldo for its being placed In tho rpnr ot the hall was out of order. Tho speaker ruled that tho point wns not well tnken, Inasmuch as tho hall had a Just right to order changes In such matters as frequently ns It snw fit. Mr. Roe said that It Is intended to place a painting In tho panel over tlio speaker's chair nnd that tho codfish, if hung as originally in tended, would bo Incongruous nnd out ot place. The order was almost unani mously adopted, and the fish will now bo hung In tho rear of tho hall unless tho houso changes Its mind again. Hoston Herald.
