any a household, it is said to be far
etter thau the fare which is dealt out by
ie “eatmeat” man” of London, who is a
igular and familiar personage of the
nglish metropolis.
There is another character iu some
jighborhoods of whom the community
large knows nothing. He rejoices iu
ie name of “the morning caller,” and is
enerally a needy old man, although in
oth age and condition he varies. The
morning caller” is a sort of human
arm clock and his services are generally
ngaged by bartenders, grocery clerks
nd men who have to 1 ‘open early. ” From
ie “wee sma’hours” he is abroad, slip
ing from house to house and from room
, room, tapping upon doors and halloo
ig in hallways. He has all kinds of
readier to face and is often very ill pro
ided for his journey. But he generally
taggers about his route faithfully; for,
oor creature, he knows that neglect of
is duties means the imperiling of his
ustomers’ positions and the loss of the
bw dimes on which he depends for p.x
itence. Some “morning callers” live*
pith their families in the poorer districts
nd depend upon their own wakefulness
r the care of watchful spouses to insure
ertainty in the discharge of their duties,
tut many of them prefer to spend the
ate hours of the night and the early ones
f the morning in some of the “all sight”
lar-rooms, whence they feel positive
hey will be despatched on their mission

condition ill adapted to insure a ful
ilment af their duties.
The immense business of the big
totcls and the amount of refuse turned
mt of them have been the cause of the
nstitution of anew trade. .It is that of
'‘broken food collector.” There is a
ihorter and more pointed term applied to
he class by those who deal with them,
lut this appellation best expresses their
nisi ness. It may not be generally known,
lor may it be appetizing to persons who
ive at some of the very cheap restaurants
ibout town, that part of the provender
lerved has already made its appearance in
ar more delectable quarters. But such
s the case. Chops and steaks and even
other edibles which havo occupied the
dates of diners in high-toned hotels and
lave only been nibbled are turned out
unong the refuse of the kitchen and
(ought up by big dealers who find all of
it available for some purpose, and who
nake profits of many thousands of dol
ars at the business; and, first of all,
these find a market among the
“ broken food collectors. ” Still shapely
steaks and cuts, unharrassed chops and
joints that retain their fibre and juices,
are gathered by the collector and by him
retailed among the cheap restaurants,
where they are served up anew to cus
tomers less fastidious or unaware of the
“ chestnut ” character of their meal. Of
course, this practice has been generally
kept under cover by restaurateurs in
deference to the feelings of their more
captious patrons. But of late a few of
them—notably one on the extreme east
side, a little off Grand street, have
boldly put themselves forward as
champions of the second-hand
dinner and announce themselves as
such. What is more, there seems to
have been no falling off in their custom.
In fact, it has increased. And doubtless
the philosophy that sends a man to a
dealer in misfits or second hand clothing
with an expectation of finding raiment of
superior texture and cut at very low rates
has led the patrons of these restaurants
to willingly expend a small sum for
savory viands which they think but little
discounted by having lain on some less
hungry but more wealthy being’s dish.
The “butt-picker,” while not general
ly visible in fashionable haunts, is a be
ing who infests the whole community,
and who has been heard of by nearly every
one, even if his authenticity be some
times doubted. At one time there was a
large number engaged in the business,
but the work of the society for the pre
vention of crime has done much to de
crease it- by their scrutiny of the Italian
population’s ways and means of living.
The “butt-picker” was generally provid
ed with a bag or basket. He dived into
saloons, infested the fronts of hotels, and
generally traveled from place to place
along the curb stone with an eye on the
gutter and another on the walk. What
he was in. quest of was cigar stumps.
heir quality he did not heed, and
whether they had come from the lips
<u millionaires or beggars did not
concern him. And once he had reached
some obscure hutch of a place in a
, rosb y or Baxter street alley his bag or
casket was emptied and its contents
added to that of his little colleagues in
the work. The stamps were then sorted
and sold. They went to big cigarette
mid cigar factories, where they were re
sorted, unstripped or ground and came
ut anew in handsomely labelled boxes to
. disposed of to the confiding commu
nity. The “butt picker” is not extinct.
By no means.

Among the foreign abiders in New

there are the thousand shapes in which
actual mendicancy hides itself under a

from the organ grinders and the street

the itinerant concert companies of the

“Constitutional Cowards.”
Speaking with Colonel Greene, says a
writer in the Philadelphia New*, about
the irresistible impulse among soldiers to
lie down when shells whizzed danger
ously near, he replied, “Yes; that im
pulse is uncontrollable, and I recall just
now a laughable occurrence at Fred
ericksburg in Virginia. You remember
the enemy had a number of siege guns
there, and every now and then they
would throw a tremendous shell across
the Rappahannock and send consterna
tion and panic through our camps. At
first these shells created great confusion
and dismay but the boys soou became
used to r thcm, and unless one came very
near little attention was paid to tho can
nonading.
“I was standing one day, however, in
the midst of our camp, where perhaps a
hundred" soldiers were to be seen, when
suddenly one of these great shells was
heard coming through the air, and as it
whirled with a terrible crash directly over
our heads every one of those hundred
forms crouched down behind the shelter
tents in little blue heaps, myself includ
ed, and when they recovered themselves
and raised up once more the blood had
fled from every face and they were
blanched to an asliy whiteness. As soon
as they saw the danger was passed the
blood came mantling back to their
cheeks with the blush of their shame and
their fears vanished with a loud laugh as
an old sergeant of the regiment, whose
face had been of the whitest, realizing
how- ridiculous it was to hide behind a
shelter tent to find safety from a shell that
would have knocked a horse down,
shouted so that every man could hear
him, ‘lsay, boys, when the Johnnies
fling another of them grave diggers over
this way ’spose wc get a sheet of note
paper aud hide behind that,’ And yet,”
added the colonel, “within a week these
same men were part of a line which
marched up to Mary's Heights over a
field that was literally plowed with shot
and shell until they were so close to the
siege gun that threw the grave diggers
that you could have tossed a copper into
their trenches where the iron monster
laid.”
The other incident mentioned by Colo
nel Greene was more touching: “We
had,” he said, “in our command a man
who could not go into a fight. He was a
good fellow, and everybody liked him,
and he was really more pitied than con
demned for his cowardly infirmity. Find
ing that he was of no service in the com
pany, and fearing that his example might
be demoralizing, he was detailed as a
teamster, and he served with the wagon
trains throughout the whole war and was
never in a fight. After hostilities had
ceased and there was not an armed vol
unteer in the field, this man, who was
still on detached service in the field, was
one day engaged in removing a lot, of
muskets from a wagon preparatory to
their being sent North. A comrade who
was assisting him cautioned him to be
careful as some of tho guns might be
loaded. He replied that there was no
danger, as they were old and rusty, and
had long been out of use, but scarcely
had the words escaped his lips when one
of the guns was discharged and he was
instantly killed.”
Proofs and Prints.
There are various kinds of proofs and
prints of engravings and etchings, rules
for distinguishing which one ought to
know:
“Remark proofs” (“remark.” from
French remarque) are the first impres
sions from the plate, and are the most
costly. Fifty copies are usually made.
They are printed with the utmost care;
every copy is closely examined, and if a
flaw is discovered even in a single line,
it is destroyed. The “remark proof’al
ways has an emblem, chosen according
to the artist’s fancy, engraved upon the
margin of the plate.
After the remark proofs are made, the
remark is rubbed off the plate, and the
“artist’s proofs” are taken. These usual
ly humber two hundred Like the re
mark proofs, they are executed with the
most painstaking care; but they, of
course, lack the value of the mark which
stamps the first impressions of an en
graving as cherished rarities. The ‘ ‘ar
tist’s proof’ is marked at the bottom witli
the name of the painter and the engraver,
or etcher.
The “proofs before letters” are printed
immediately after the artist’s proofs.
They usually consist of 100 copies. They
axe never signed by artist or engraver, but
have their names engraved on the right
and left-hand corners of the plate re
spectively in small letters. They also
have the publisher’s mark and address
on the bottom.
“India prints” are the most desirable
after the artist’s proofs and proofs be
fore letters. They have the title en
graved upon them, as well as the artist’s
and engraver’s names and the publisher’s
marks. The edition is not limited in
number. Their superiority to ordinary
prints is due to the better quality of the
impression produced by the India paper,
while they lack the choiceness and conse
quent rarity of the preceding grades.
“Plain prints” aro impressions on
linen paper. They have all the marks
and letters of India prints, and arc printed
with equal care. The paper, however,
renders them of less value than tho India
impressions, because the quality of tho
latter paper enhances the beauty while it
increases tlio cost of the proof.

CHASED BY DOGS.
HOW ESCAPED CONVICTS ARE
PURSUED IN THE SOUTH.
Remarkable Keenness of Scent— Dia
• ingnisliing One Man Among a
Handml—Taught to Hay
Bui Not nt Attack.
While at Oldtowu I saw a race between
a convict and the hounds. A gaunt con
vict. long ot leg aud flank, was -elected
for the run. He was told to put off
quickly, circle in the woods, take a swift
run over fields, roads and through every
squa<l of convicts he could find iu his
way. This he did. The hounds were
then loafing about the stockade yard, as
listless a lot of dogs as ever were seen.
" I’m tempted,” said Mr. Williams, “to
let the convict tide a horse for a mile or
two after he has run awhile. I have had
dogs trail a convict on horseback four
miles, and then take the track where he
i jumped from the horse.” By this time
the flying convict was a small speck on
the broad fields, aud in a moment more
had melted into the horizon and was
gone, as if, indeed, he had found that
liberty for which his soul panted, and
had gone as the strong winged birds go
when they vanish in the blue ether.
Iu an hour we mounted our horses.
The hounds were still loafing about in
the sunshine. Suddenly Mr. Williams,
squaring himself in his saddle, blew
three quick, short blasts on the cow’s
horn that liiing at its side. As if by
magic, the hounds aw oke and charged
at his saddle—eager, baying, frantic.
“ Nigger !” he said sent entiously. Like
the wind they were off. nose to the
ground, tails up, circling like beagles.
Larger the circles grow-, the hounds si
lent as specters, eyes and nose eating the
earth for its secret. “They wiU pass
over the tracks of convict squads, but
will open on the first single track they
find. If it is the wrong track, we will
simply sit still. They w ill rail it a hun
dred yards or so, and, noting our silence,
will throw it off again. When they get
the right track, we will halloo and start
after the hound that has it. The others
will join him and the race is opened.”
At last a red hound, careering liko mad
across the field, halts suddenly, tumbles
over himself, faces about, noses the
ground eagerly, lifts his head,
“A aoo own” and is off like an ar
row from a bowstring. “That’s the
track,” shouts Williams, and after the
howling hound we go. The other dogs
join in pell mell at first, then each hound
true to the track, iu full cry and at a rat
tling gait. Away off to the left Captain
James calls attention to a moving speck
against the sky. ‘ ‘That is the convict
circling back to camp,” he said. On the
dogs went, keen as the wind, inexorable
as fate, following the track of the con
vict as true as his own shadow. Across
the tracks of hundreds of others along
high roads, ovar fields, through herds of
cattle, by other convicts that smiled
grimly as they passed, the hounds went,
holding the track of the flying convict
where it had been laid as light as thistle
on the firm earth, but where it left the
tell tale scent all the same. Nothing
could shake them off—nothing check their
furious rash. Over other tracks made by
convicts wearing shoes from the same
last and same box they went without
hindrance, led by some intangible mira
cle of the air. straight on a single trail.
“Now we’ll see them wind his scent
fifty yards away,” said Williams, as he
neared a patch of forest. Close to this
was a squad of convicts. These we had
sent through the woods au hour before.
We had made “trustees,” walking singly,
touch every bush and tree. Then the con
vict we were trailing was run through,
making a half circle, with at least fifty
yards’ radius. The hounds entered the
forest at a hustling pace, a small red dog
leading. Suddenly the leader faltered
for an instant, with nose iu air, then
burst with fierce cry to the left, ran ob
liquely for full fifty yards, with head up,
when he took up again the track of the
convict, and lowered his head to the
ground. He had simply made a short
cut across the semicircle, having caught
scent of the convict on the bushes more
than 100 feet away. I am aware that this
is incredible to those who have never
seen it. I cannot explain what it is that
the flying man, clad and shod as a hun
dred others, fed on the same food,chained
daily to the same chain, and sleeping in
the same bunks at night, imparts to a
yielding twig touched by his clothes so
that it attracts a hound fifty yards away.
But it certainly does just that.
The last test was now coming. We
were moving toward a squad of convicts
at work in a cotton field. We had scut
the fugitive convict through this squad.
We had then made them walk in a
double circle around him. They then
crossed and reerossed his tracks, many of
them wearing exactly such shoes as he
wore. One hour later the hounds struck
this point. There was not an instant’s
pause. There was no deviation, no let
up in the pace. Through the labyrinth
of tracks the hounds went, as swallows
through the air, hurrying inexorably on
the one track they had chosen.
The qnd was now near. The convict,
having run his race, was seen leaning
against a tree and watching the hounds
plunging toward him. “Won’t he climb
the tree?” I asked. “No, the hounds
are trained to simply bay the convicts
when they come up with them. Other
wise the convicts would “kill them.
By this time the hounds had sighted
him. They halted about twenty yards
away from the tree against which he
stood and bayed him furiously. Pretty
music they made and not deeper than I
heard often and again under a ’possum
tree. Mr. Williams called them off and
the convict came forward. “Dem pup
pies is doin’ mighty well,Cap’n,” he said,
grinning, and as he lazily swuug by on
his way to the stockade.
These dogs are not bloodhounds. I
doubt if there is a bloodhound in Geor
gia, though two arc reported near Car
tersville, descended from a pair owned
by Colonel Jeff Johnson in the days of
slavery. The Oldtown dogs are fox
hounds of the Redbone breed, trained for
several generations to hunt men. They
are never tempted with other game.
They arc neither fierce nor powerful, and
are relied on solely to trail the convict
and lead his pusuers to his lair.— Atlanta

The childish s|iort now . called blind

iu old times, such as hood-wink, blind

because the players were once blinded

“He is a poor cook who cannot lick

forms this proverb is found in different
countries! The Italians say: “He who

The market place, the agora, was in
ancient Greek cities commonly of an ir
regular form; when possible it was sur
rounded by colonnade®. In more recent
settlements care was taken to provide a
rectangular space for the purpose, in
which double porticos of considerable ex
tent were built for shelter in bad weather.
The art of sculpture in wood seems to
have been native among the early Greeks,
carved idols soon appearing as sub
stitutes for those stones and tranks of
trees which were at first worshiped as
divine symbols. These were frequently
so old that no account could be given of
their origin, and they were consequently
said to have fallen from the skies.

again, both were dead. The entrails of
the eat were torn out, and the hawk’s
head was bitten through. The hawk
measured fodr feet nine inches from tip

The fashion of introducing a bowl of
wine into church at a wedding, to be
drank by the bride and bridegroom and
those present immediately after the mar
riage ceremony, is very ancient. It is
mentioned in the ordinances of the house

practiced at the magnificent marriage of
Alary of England, and Philip of Spain,
in Winchester cathedral, and also at the
marriage of the Elector Palatiue to the
daughter of the first English king of tho
Stuart family.
Criminal* and Their Home*.
“Every once in a white = ‘people read in
the papers how some mem who lias just
done a job lias skipped, leaving no trace
behind him,” said a Central Office detec
tive to a Herald reporter yesterday. “The
first thing they do is to blame the detec
tive. Then, a year or two perhaps after
ward, they hear that the man has been
caught. Then they praise the detectives
for skill and perseverance as much as they
blamed them before. They were wrong
to blame the detectives in the first place,
and I’m not sure that they were right iu
praising them so highly afterward. In
ordinary circumstances any criminal is
sure to be caught.
“You say there are many crimes never
unraveled. That’s so. But in most of
them the police get to know who did tho
job as well as they know who stole Broad
way, but they can’t get the evidence,
and so they lie low' and wait. In a few
exceptional cases it’s best not to punish
Anybody.
“If a man runs away the police can
pinch him nine times out of ten just by
watching his home. Shakespeare never
said a truer thing thau when he said,
‘There’s no place like home.’ It was
Shakespeare, wasn’t it? Well, every
man, no matter how bad he is, has a
home of some kind that he is going te
visit, although he know r s that the visit
may land him in State prison for twenty
years, and as soon as he thinks the coast
is clear he’s going to that home. All the
police have to do is to find out that home,
watch it and nab their man when he
shows up.
“There’s that man who shot the negro
janitor. He got west and was doing
well and nobody knew wdiere he was.
But he had to come back to New York
to see his friends. There’s Jimmy Riley.
He broke seven of the strongest jails in
the country—Sing Sing was the last of
them. What did he do when he got out
of Sing Sing? He went straight to Tenth
avenue, where everybody knew him.
Now he’s back to Sing Sing. Talk to
Captain Washburn about Hell’s Kitchen
and other places at the foot of West
Thirty-ninth and Fortieth streets in. his
precinct. He’ll tell you that whenever
he wants one of the crooks who hang out
there he has only to go there to get him.
They never try to hide in any other part
of the city. I)o you remember that burg
lar who killed a policeman way back in
ihe sixties, when he was caught breaking
into an arms store in Broadway? Well,
he thought it safe to come back to New
York after nearly twenty years, and the
first tiling he knew he was on trial for
his life. He would have come back
sooner, too, if he hadn't been prevented
by being Locked up in different prisons
out West.— New York Herald.
The Man Caught the Dog.
I have great respect for the Georgia
bloodhound; even though he is not a
bloodhound. I saw lately some exam
ples of his skill in trailing men that were
marvelous. But the Georgia bloodhound
received a black eye in the matter of To
bie Jackson. This alleged dynamiter
was tracked through about thirty miles
of mountain and ravine by a two-thon
sand-dollar bloodhound. The sluggish
but persistent beast hung on the vanish
ing track through storm and darkness,
relentless as death itself. This was very
heroic. But mark the sequel. One af
ternoon when the chase had flagged the
pursuers of the redoubtable Jackson saw,
silhouetted against the summit on an in
accessible mountain ]>cak, a haughty man
with a ro[>e on his arm followed by averj
meek dog with a rope around bis neck,
stalking across the red sky to a quiet re
treat. Tho man was Juckson—the dog
was the two-thousand dollar bloodhound

Carious Facts About Flowers.
Within the antarctic circle there has
never a flowering plant been found. Id
the arctic region there are seven hundred
and sixty-two kinds of flowers : fiftv ol
these are confined to the arctic region.
They are really polar flowers. The colors
of these polar flowers are not as bright
and varied as are onr own, moat of them
being white or yellow, as if borrowing
these hardy hne from their snowy bergs
and golden stars.
Perhaps the most beautiful of all our
everlasting, that longest defy the
autumn frosts and most brighten oui
winter bouquets, are white and yellow
varieties. The rose of Florida, the most
lieautiful of flowers, has no perfume.
The cypress of Greece, the finest of trees,
bears no fruit, the bird of paradise, the
most beautiful of birds, gives no song ;
aad some of the loveliest of human forms
have the least soul.
The Dorosidae family of flowers,
Ruskin tells us, including the five great
orders—lilies, asphodels, am&rvlids,
irids, and rushea—have more varied and
beautiful influence on man than any
other tribe oi flowers. Nature seems to
have made flowers as types of character
and emblems of women. So we name
our children after them, and always in
tuitively compare a lovely, beautiful
child to a flower; we say the timid snow
drop, the modest violet, the languid
primrose, the coy lily, the flaunting
marigold, the lowly, blushing daisy, the
proud foxglove, the deadly nightshade,
sleepy poppy, and the sweet, solitary
eglantine - these are all types.
A divorce suit came before the tribu
nal of Frankfort-on-the-Alain a few days
ago, in which the parties craved for a
dissolution of marriage od the ground of
incompatibility of temper. The Judge
decreed a temporary separation of the
couple for two years, after which they
are to recommence their married life;
and if, after a few months’ experience,
they find their reunion a failure, the
court will be prepared to reconsider the
decision.

ization that will consist of an equal number
of men and women. It is hardly to be expected
that they will agree on all subjects: but it can
surprise no one to learn that Dr. Pierce's
“ Golden Medical Discovery,” is unanimously
pronounced the most successful remedy extant
for pulmonary consumption, as has been dem
onstrated in hundreds of cases; it positively

For dtspkpsia, indiobstion, depression <>.
