SECONDHAND SACKS.
0ow They Ar- Gathered, Sorted; Mended
and Their Usefulness Extended.
When do all the lost needles and pins
fo? is au old question, but how many peo
ple have ever stopped to think where all
the old gunny sacks go? A sack is not like
a sulphur match, only meant for one using,
biit poos the rounds many times before it
finally lands in the ragshop or gets its
final reiuc.irantlon into wrapping paper.
In fact, the bag brokerage business is
qnitc a trade, and there is one quite good
sized establishment down on Drumm
street whose sole business is resurrecting
and revivifying old sacks and sending them
out into the world on a new mission of
asefii'liiess. ly.
"Yes, it is quite n business," said little
jlr. Schmidt when1 questioned as to where
allthokirsc:inieiruju and went to. ''They
come from everywhere, pretty much, and
they go everywhere, pretty much, but not
the same places.
" The most bags we got are from the
brewi-Eies and other places where they
handle a grait deal of grain. They are the
best, t jo, as a rule, and wo bale them up
for firsts. The other sacks we sort out
and clean, and, if they need it, patch them
and mend them, and they make up the
seconds' and ' thirds. They are smoothed
out, tied tip in packages of 25 each, and
then -done up in bales of 200 and shipped
tLUic-fousumcrs- The best of them ate
usually used for potatoes, the others for
coal and such, and the lowest grade for fer
tilisers. '.'The busiest season for us is from June
to August, when there are a great many
vegetables shipped. I havo men oat all the
time gathering up sacks, and ia winter we
sort and pack them ready to ship when
business get3 brisk.
-As to the price, now sacks are worth
about $4.03 a hundred now. The best sec
ondhand bring about $3 and from that
down.
" Wc get a good deal of loose grain out of
the' brewery sacks, but not enough to pay
to wive it Of COUM9S0 we have lots of rats
and mice about, though we try to keep
them down, and I take the grain and
sprinkle it around among the bales so tho
m'a e that are around will have plenty to
eat, and cat the grain instead of the sacks.
Trade ain't what it was some time ago,
but we still handle abont 500,000 sacks a
ye.ir, and they ure all used in and around
San I'rancisco. " San Francisco Chroni

A lady whose organ of benevolence was)
not properly developed one sent the "fol
lowing advertisement to a London paper:
"A lady in delicate health wishes to
meet with a useful companion. She must
be domesticated, musical, early riser,
amiable, of good appearance and have some
exitrience of nursing. Total abstainer
preferred. Comfortable home. No salary."
A few days after the advertiser received
a hamper labeled:
'This side up with care perishable. "
On opening it she found? a fine tabby cat
with a letter tied to her tail. It ran thus:
'Madaia, in answer to your advertise
ment 1 am happy to furnish you with a
very useful companion, which you will find
exactly suited to your requirements. She
is domesticated, a good vocalist, an early
riser, possesses an amiable disposition and
is considered handsome. She has had great
experience as a nurse, having brought up a
largo family. I need scarcely add that she
is a total abstainer. As salary to her isrno

The aurso of all hotel cooking in St.

tire space or tne upper story of the house.
nen my host turned his lamn to the
middle of the apartment, its rays fell on an
immense cylinder which bore more resem

But this was not all. The ceiling was cov

I found myself in a circular anartment.
which was equal in size to a room 14 or 16

down on a chair. Mr. Sloane no sooner
6aw me fixed there than, with a sudden

When I had finished examining my pris
on, x aetermmea to pass the night as
comfortably as possible, and, sitting dotvn.
reclined my head on the taJblo and closed
my eyes.
I fell asleep. How long I slept I know
not, but I was awakened by a peculiar
sound. At first I thought it was somo one
grinding a knife on a grindstone, for it
was a purring, rasping sound. But I soon
found that it was too loud for that, for it
caused a slight vibratory motion in my
prison.
I jumped up from my seat and rubbed
my eyes.
I felt myself grow pale as death and my
heart almost stood still. Tho dungeon was
certainly smaller palpably, unmistakably
smaller. I again cast my eyes up to the
celling and counted only nine plates or di
visions. The roof was certainly lower. The
walls were certainly closing in all around
me The ceiling was now so low that I
could touch it with my hand.
While gazing on the top of tho dungeon
an inscription traced on the ceiling for the
nrst time caught my eyes.
"This machine was invented by Edward
Sloane, Esq., for the purpose of supersed
ing death by hanging. Tho walls are so
constructed that they revolve on them
selves, every revolution reducing the size
of the apartment several feet. After a cer
tain time the walls meet, crushing any
object within the apartment perfectly fiat.
In ten hours from the time the machinery-
is nrst started the work is completed.
I understood it all now. The TnlmT

I gave one unearthly scream and believed
my last moment had come when suddenly
the room assumed the same size as when I
had first entered it, and I rose up and shook
myself as I heard a voice outside exclaim:
"Any one in there?
In a few hurried words I explained all
that had passed.
-I was then informed that my preserver
was Mr. Sloace's nephew, who had arrived
at his uncle's house an hour before. He
had heard the machinery at work, and cu
riosity had Impelled him to explore the
upper portion of the house The moment
he entered the garret my piercing scream
reached his ears. He saw tho machinery
in motion, and he took his pocketknife and
cut a wide leather strap by which tho ma
chinery was turned. This was no sooner
secured than the circular dungeon assumed
its natural form with such a sudden spring
as almost to knock him down.
After the explanation he ran to his uncle
and procured the key.
When I was released, I consented not to
prosecute Sloane ou condition that the in
fernal machine should beat once destroyed,
and that the inventor would leave the vil
lage forever.

DECADENCE MARKED BY MUSEUMS.
One
Evidence of Declining: Beat Estate
Values In Ktm York Streets.
What fcas ccmo to bo accepted among
real estaie men r.3 the invariable indica
tion of a change 'or the worse of a New
York thoroughfare is the appearance of
museums In which statuary, works of art.
scientific and mechanical exhibits, por
traits and "wonders" are shown. So long
as the street is devoted to business uses it
is prosperous, rent is high, trade is brisk,
and tho demand far stores continuous.
Such a thing as a museum, whether for
the exhibition of a three headed- girl, a
white haired albino or an educated pig, is
never seen. Then there comes a time when
business languishes, rents fall and tenants
are hard to find; This condition lasts for
a short time, and then a museum appears
with a sign on the front, "Admission to
all, 10 cents," or "Five cents admits to
all; no extras," as the case may be.
The work of transforming an untenant
ed store into a museum is neither trouble
some nor expensive. These exhibitions do
not come under the head of the permanent
museums, which are duly licensed by the
mayor and are fixtures in certain parts of
town. They are, so to speak, ephemeral
museums that start up in neighborhoods
which are changing. The itinerant mu
seum manager's chief exhibits are Inani
mate statues, panoramas, wheels of for
tune, reproductions of foreign localities
and buildings, calliopes, music boxes and
kaleidoscopes. Of course there are some
freaks dwarfs, giants, men and women of
peculiar physical characteristics, girls hav
ing whiskers, women of abnormally large
feet, Indians, wild men from Borneo and
Its vicinity, performers who sing like birds,
sleight of hand men and deft card players.
But the salary list is largest in the an
nouncements at the doors. ''We aro-pay-ing
$5,000 a week for the services of the
Mexican giant' a sign may say; or "This
week only the $10,000 beauty, now on her
. way to St. Petersburg. " The actual pay i
roll of such a museum is very small. The
music is machine made. The manager is
the doorkeeper and treasurer too. The
same tickets are used each day and the
performance given varies In no essential
particular. The Item of rent, however, Is
an Important ona. This Is an outlay which
requires cash, and it is for this reason that
these museum managers find their best op
portunities in neighborhoods which are
changing in character, for the landlord of
an untenanted store will often rent it at
an almost nominal figure to a museum
manager for a month or more aEd the
next month will find tho museum some
where else. The Bowery, Grand street and
lower Eighth avenue nro now tho favorite

Overattentlon to Children.
A sensible writer on nursery topics calls
the attention of mothers to the risk of over
caution and overattentlon to their chil
dren after they ore old enough to play and
romp about. '! A child Is happier with a
few and simplo. playthings than a multi
tude of complicated toys. There is no such
good fun or good training as making one
self useful m doing little things like work,
and it is cruelty to deprive the child of this
pleasure and stimulus. Let the brain aid
body be trained through hand, foot and
e,' e. Give the boys a carpenter's bench;
encourage tho girls to do housework.
Where possible let both boy and girl have
u little garden patch, if only a few feet
square, and the care of a few plants. A
woman in her home, a man in his garden
this seems to be a fundamental type from
which wc cannot depart without risk of

So many women have taken the higher
degrees in colleges that it is now impossi
ble to keep a record of this class of events.
.Nevertheless much remains to be done In
the obliteration of ancient prejudice and
antifeminlne conservatism. When Miss
Phillipa Fawcett beat all collegiate records
in her famous English university examina
tion, the money prize and the high title
were awarded not to her, but to the man
who came hierliest after her. He was so far
away from her in both ability and attain
ments that the proceeding was simply far
cical, and the statement "that he was the
first and greatest scholar of the year" was
an absolute falsehood. While scholarship
has no sex, vet, thanks to an antiquated
law in England, no woman was permitted
to enter the official examination, much less
to carry off the prise. So great was the in
dignation aroused, however, by this patent
Injustice that the college authorities drew
up a special certificate which they awarded
to Miss Fawcett and which is the only
evidence of her achievement. Margherita
Arlina Himm in New York Mail and Ex
press.
The Pycmy In tbe United States.
While looking over somo old papers pub
lished in New Orleans In 1842, I found a
short description of a baton of presumably
freshly imported slaves. Among them
were "six or eight very small negroes, men
and women, all of whom wero under 6 feet
in height. Who ran In this cargo Is not
known, but Mr. has the disposal of
them." An old bill of sale, now in the
possession of a Mr. Wolfgang Werner of
Savannah, dated April 28, 1810, gives a
description of two adult slaves, male and
female, in which the. height of tho male is
declared to be "4 feet G inches and the fe
male 4 feet 3 inches." Finally, In tho pos
session of tho -Armistcde family of Vir
ginia, there is a letter dated The Oaks, Feb.
20. 1773, and written by Miss Judith
Graeme to her friend, Miss Sarah Armis-
tedc. ',.'':
In this letter Miss Graemo bewails tho
fact that "pa ha3 bought four of thoso
trifling, good for nothing little 'ginny nig
gers, who will Steal tho cloathes off yonr
back If you give them half a chausne."
Alter giving a page or so of local gossip
Miss Judith closes her letter with a post
script anent the little negroes, who seemed
to havo aroused her bitterest animosity.
Says she, "Tlio biggest one of those nasty
littlo 'glnny niggers' Is not 5 feet high."
Thus we sco that over 100 years ago nc-
gritos were brought to America and sold
as slaves. For all 1 know to the contrary,
the little negroes had been coming Into the
country ever since slavery was nrst insti
tuted. Popular faeienco Monthly.
HER LODGER'S CRAFTINESS.
Sew Plan to Deceive Innocent Landladies
Until Money Is Procurable.
Ho told me tho story himself, and I
know him for a truthful man. If a trifle
careless In regard to his financial affairs.
He Wis much in his landlady's debt, had
to make a week's trip out of town and
needed his money for traveling expenses.
He wont away, leaving a note in which he
promised to settle as soon as he returned.
He came back to the city two days before
his monthly check was due, and he was
"broke."
He knew that to face the landlady with
out money would be to invite unpleasant
ness, and strained relations would follow.
He had not money enough to go to a hotel,
and he sought relief in craft.
He went home at an hour after sho hed
retired, let himself in with a latchkey and
tiptoed softly to his room. She attended
divine service each morning, as he knew
well. Ho slept the sleep of the tired, If not
the iust When she had gone out In the
morning, ho made hi3 own bed, smoothed
out tho covers nicelv. made a change of
garb and went out. She wotted not of it
And so he did the next night too.
Then, on the third day, having received
the expected check, he went boldly In at
noonday, as if fresh from a long journey,
paid his just debt and was welcomed home
as good lodgers should be.
"Geat strategy." I said.
"Great," he said. "If I'd been in the
war, I'd have come out a major general
at least " New York Herald.
A Story of North,
A story is told of tho late Colonel North
to the effecthat the colonel loved chil
dren, but was; not wildly keen on kissing
babies. Once, bcina implored by a hand
some lady td kiss an exceptionally un
wholesome lookine infant, of which the
mother stated herself to be the living
Image. "Well, hero sroos for the image,
said North, and ho forthwith imprinted a
sounding kiss on the fair mother s cheek.
