green spots in a big city.
Where Poor PersonsGo to Get a Breath
of Fresh Air.

' “Say, boss! kin yer spare me a few pen

He sat on a park bench and mouthed the
query as the man addressed walked along
scanning the line of idlers. The beggar’s
eyes—for he was a beggar—showed no
change of expression as he took the price of
two beers aud sidled off. The long lines of
benches reaching in curves along the asphalt
walks like the arms of a dismembered oc
topus, were fairly tilled with hard featured
men, weary looking men, unkempt women,
children, and all that goes to make up the
idle tide-drift of a great city.
The favorite posture for men is to thrust
the bauds into the trousers pockets and sit
as far on the edge of the bench as possible,
leaning back and stretching out the feet.
Apparently some have the bottoms cut out
of their pockets to bury their hands as far
as they do. Those who object to having
children trip up and fall on their legs will
draw' up their feet, cross the legs and nurse
one knee with both hands. A man sitting
in the square rarely changes the position he
settles into. The place just left by a man
who has been sitting with bis feet out before
him can be told readily, because lie has to spit
lurtheroutoH the walk to clear his toes
than the man must who is doubled up.
The w'omen sit placidly sidewavs while
the children race about, get tangled with
every passer’s feet or lie in the grass and
wave their unadorned legs in the air. Those
who have to do with boardinghouses, hotels,
and so on, look : if their clothes, before
fading, must have come from such a factory
as made the polychromatic ulster that made
Joseph’s brothers jealous. Yellow-strapped
canvas shoes, check pants, a blue jumper
and last year’s pearl derby are to be seen
beside an outfit of a battered sun helmet a
Prince Albert, corduroy trousers, and a red
undershirt. None of this seems incongru
ous to the wearers, and sun and wear - soon
make all attires look uniform.
One hearty Irish truckman wearing a
high white hat said his horse's nose hit a
man at a street crossing, knocked his hat
off. and as the owner would not pick up the
soiled hat he jumped dow'n and got it. He
grinned after saying this, and said:
“Oi wuz thinkin' of last week wan of
thim hot nights'. Oi live in Cherry street,
sor, an’ this noight was that hot inside yez
cud fry 1 fish on the palm of yer hand, I am
shure, sor. Me babby was moanin’ with
the hate, and I cud do nothin’ fur it but
lave it to its mother and go out an’ lay in
me truck afore tue door handy to call an’
more free like to slape. Whin Oi wuz
aslape Oi dreamed the Liberty statoo come
over to me a i*. tuk me by the neck, an’ had
loike to break me back Oi woke up, an’,
begorra, some lads had th’ rope off th’
winch onto Denny Sullivan’s truck as lays
up next behint me, an’ the divils had me
hitched onto it an’ hauled til half of me
hung over me tailboard. But Oi ontied me
self an’ put in rh’ tailboard, an’ hearin
nothin’ in the house Oi slept agin till inorn
in’. Me truck is broke now, an’ OiT not be
doin anythin’ till me boss gets her repaired,
to-moner, mc-bbo.”
He resembled many others in being only
temporarily out of work. Some are waiting
for a strike to be settled, some have jobs
promised in a day or so. Many discharged
patients from the public hospitals spend a
day or so getting air in the park before go
ing to work again; others again are idle
through a break down in their factories,
and then there is always the man who is
taking a day to himself. One German
brewery laborer forced into idleness through
a strike said;
“Veil, I’m here because I hadt to quit.
You see der vay it is, if youdond’tchoin the
union deres no peace mit dem wat belongs,
ant if you does belongt to fit den you has to
do as dey say. Now, most probably the
bosses will haf all greenhorns, strong young
fellers, by der time anyting gets settled. I
means to go by der country and vork by
der cider bizness mit some farmer,”
Sometimes discouragement makes a tramp
of such a man, but not often. Your true
tramp does not raise his feet to walk; he
simply lets his body sway sideways and the
natural oscillation lifts his feet for him. He
often goes half fed because he might be put
to w'ork to get food. Beer lees, stale ale,
alcohol or anything with alcohol in it he
takes to kindlier than park penguin to a
mess of eels. The tramp proper is so dulled
and dirty in spirit as to be no more a man.
He will carry vermin past any washing
facilities in Christendom. His clothing,
like an office carpet, never wears quite out,
and seemingly he cares less than a wood
chuck for the future.
Tramp steamships and sea-going vessels
discharging their crows send their quota of
men to wear out the park benches. When
a sailor is discharged he is usually nearly
penniless because of the advance wages sys
tem in vogue in mariue employment. The
pbilanthopist in his affairs is the profes
sional sailor boarding-house keeper, who
takes Jack to board and lets him roam
about town until a berth can be found for
him for a voyage. Then Jack’s keeper col
lects his advance pay from the ship, pays
himself, gives the sailor the doubtful bal
ance and lets him sail. More unsettled still,
if possible, are the lives of shoals of men
around town, who spring up seemingly like
magic, but morn likely from park benches,
to sell notions on procession days, who work
at touting, at cheap restauruuts waiting,
then jierhaps at a job of moving furniture,
or perchance take to whooping up a concert
show. One loquacious chap was a sort of
“Fourt” ward bartender, “trowed out wid
oat a character.” He|furthor volunteered:
“Dese fellers wot lives on dese odd jobs
gits deni by bangin’ round any place where
<ley tinks dare is biz. An’ dev hangs till
dey gits a job or gits bounced. If dey gits
bounced dey doesn’t care fer de bouncin
aud tries agin someweres. We has to have
a character writ by de last boss wuked fer,
er else dey all tint we ain’t straight.”
Regular journeymen at trades, if good,
soon make acquaintance with enough fore
men in their lino to be always with one of
them. Some women who run mechanics’
boarding houses have regular communica
tion with employers and get work for their
lodgers; particularly is this the ease with
foreigners. The trades unions come in ope
ration with men after they are collected at
work in a body y. have little connection
with individuals of work.
Apprenticeship.) of all kinds are hal'd to
get; then only by personal favor of some
one in power to help a boy. The tirade
unions liar many apprenticeships, and many
employers prefer to employ foreigners and
retain them rather than train native youths.
All the best help in any line is composed of
•>eople who have acquaintances among
bosses, who' employ no agents, but apply
direct in person for work whenever they
happen to be out. The unskilled worthy
laborer is out of place iu the city. He can
earn so little that comfort is impossible. Of
independence he has none. Some employ
ers will take the next man waiting if a
laborer is a little, by chance, late In the
morning.

THE ORIGIN OF RICE THROWING.
It Began at the Wedding of Chao and
Peachblossom In China.
From the Chinese Times.
In the days of the Shang dynasty, some
1,500 years before Christ, there lived in the
province of Shansi a most famous sorcerer
called Chao. It happened one day that a
Mr. P'ang came to consult the oracle, and
ChaOj having divined by means of the
tortoise diagram, Informed the trembling
P’ang that he had but six days to live;
Now, however much we may trust th®
sagacity and skill of our family physician,
we may be excused if, in a matter of lift
and death, we call in a second doctor
for a consultation, and in such a strait
it is not to be wondered at that
P’ang should repair to another source
to make sure that there was no
mistake. To the fair Peachblossom he
went, a young lady who had acqnired some
reputation as a sorceress, and to the tender
feminine heart unfolded the story of his
woe. Her divination yielded the same re
sult as Chao’s; in six days P’ang should die,
unless, by the exercise of her magical pow
ers, she could avert the catastrophe. Her
efforts were successful, and on the seventh
day great was Chao’s astonishment and
still greater his mortification and
rage when he met P’ang taking
his evening stroll and learned that
there lived a greater magician than he.
The story would soon get about, and unless
he could put an end to his fair rival’s exist
ence his reputation would be rained. And
this is how Chao plotted against the life of
Peachblossom. He sent a go-between to
Peachblossom’s parents to inquire if their
daughter was still unmarried, and,
receiving a reply in the affirmative, he
befooled the simple parents into believ
ing that he had a son who was seek
ing a wife, and ultimately he induced them
to engage Peachblossom to him in mar
riage. The marriage cards were duly inter
changed ; but the crafty Chao had chosen
the most unlucky day ho could select for
the wedding, the day when the “Golden
Pheasant” was in the ascendant. Surely as
the bride entered the red chair the spirit
bird would destroy her with his powerful
1 >eak. But the wise Peachblossom knew all
these things and feared noB “I will go.”
she said, “I will fight alia defeat him.”
When tha wedding morning came she gave
directions to have rice thrown out at the
door, which the spirit bird seeing made
haste to devour, and while his attention
was thus Occupied Peachblossom step|>o I
into the bridal chair and passed on her way
unharmed. And now the ingenuous reader
knows why he throws rice after the bride.
A Duel Between Two Plants.
From the Journal of Education.
Some time ago my pupils were much in
terested in finding w hat they not inappro
priately termed a hand-to-hand conflict
between a sumach (Rhustyphina) anil u
climbing bitter sweet (CeUwtitu teandens),
Judging from apiiearanees when found, the
sumach was about two inches in diameter
when the bitter sweet first wound its coils
about it. As the growth of each proceeded,
these coils became tighter and tighter, cut
ting into and through the bark and growing
layer of the sumach until It seemed to Is;
threatened with strangulation. It was not,
however, to be so easily vanquished. It
resolutely kept up its manufacture of new
material, which, owing to the tight embrace
of tho vine, had to be distributed along a
spiral line immediately above tho coils.
Just below the coils tho supply appeared to
be cut oiT, as the trunk was then shrivelled,
and in most places dead. Although
rendered unsightly, tho tree present'd
the curious features of having two spirals,
one of living, growing, the other of dead
and decaving material wound about its
heart wood, so that tho whole resembled a
huge auger. To avenge this deformity, the
sumach proceeded to push its new growth
out above and over tne coils of the vine
until at oneplaoe it had completely encom
passed it. The vine, in turn, was now so
tightly squeezed as to be cut off from com
munication with the ground, and below this
point but little life remained. Victory now
seemed within tho grasp of the sumach.
The vine, however, in its last extremity
now united itself with the growing layer of
the sumach, and thus literally drew from
the camp of tho enemy whatever supplies
wore ueedis! to keep it top bright aud
thrifty. At this stag*; the conflict was cut
short by the ax of the collector, and the
combatants, locked in each other’* arms,
were laid away among the curioaitle* of a
museum.
Young or middle-aged men, suffering
from nervous debility or kindred affection*,
should address witli M)c. ill stanijia for large

THE MORNING NEWS: THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1887.
THE POLICE MATRON’S STORY.
She Tells of the Night She Spent with
a Horrible Terror.
The Boston Globe published an interest
ing letter from a police matron the other
day, and the Boston Transcript the same
afternoon vouched for the truth of the story
told. It is as follows:
Before my recent appointment to the
position of police matron in a suburb of
Boston I had heal’d much of what terrors
some of the arrested women were, and how
it would be impossible for any woman to
manage them. Some hml expressed the
opinion that I should get whipped, and in
view of mv slender build others had con
temptuously asked me what I expected to
do it I should have a 200-pound woman to
take care 01. I replied that I should do the
s:nue as if she weighed 100 pounds.
However, in want of any previous expe
rience with this class of women aud various
conflicting notions as to my fitness of the
place, I waited my first case with some
anxiety. At last it came in the person of
a large, stout Irish woman, weighing fully
200 pounds, sufficiently drunk to be noisy
and quarrelsome and spoiling for a fight.
The officer's attention was tii-st attracted
to her by her noisy demonstrations and the
crowd which she had drawn about her.
When she saw him approaching she pulled
her hat from her head, and waving it at
him, dared him to come on. He took her
by the arm and tried to quiet her and make
her go home. This she stoutly refused to
do, and determined to fight then and there.
As it was Sunday and a large crowd gath
ering, and her noise and abuse increasing,
he attempted ner arrest. She immediately
threw herself uiion the ground, and ho was
obliged to call upon the citizens to help him.
Another officer came along, and between
them all they conveyed her to the station,
she making desperate resistance at every
step.
I was sent for at once, and as soon as I
opened the outer door I could hear the noise.
Guided by this I reached the cell, and found
her glaring at the officer, who was vainly
trying to still the disturbance. Stepping
quietly up to her I said. “Well, Mary what
is it?”
She stopped at once and looked puzzled.
Before she had time to reply the officer re
quested me to ascertain her name. Turning
to her, I said:
“Your name is Mary, isn’t it?"
“Yes, m’am,” she said, “it is; it’s Marv.”
“Mary what!” I asked. Having received
her reply, I told the officer that his services
would not be needed as long as I was there.
Upon bis departure I told her not to be
afraid, that I had come to be with her, and
that no one should hurt or trouble her. Go
ing up to her I stroked her hair and patted
her face, soothing her excitement ns though
she were a little child, and asked her to tell
me all the story. Of course she had done
nothing, but had been arrested just as she
had stepped off a horse car and had been
thrown down and dragged to the station.
During her recital she was very quiet, but
wept freely and bemoaned bitterly her mis
fortune. 1 sympathized with her, anil as 1
turned to take off my outside things a look
of distress came over her face.
“Oh, ma’am, you ain’t a going to leave
me ?” she said.
“No, Mary,” I answered, “if you’ll be
quiet I’ll stay with you /ill the time after I
have taken off my bonnet.”
“If you’ll only stay with me, ma'am, I’ll
never make a bit of noise. I'll bo just as
quiet as you want me to be.”
"All right,” I replied, “I’ll be back soon.”
As I passed into the guard room the offi
cer remarked that it was surprising how
quickly she stopped her noise when I spoke
to. her. f sdid'that I would guarantee that
there would be no more disturbance from
her. When I returned she wanted to know
if I would stay all night. Upon my assuring
her that I would, she looked grateful, took
my hand and allowed me to search her.
Finding that she was still heated and ex
cited, I procured cold water, bathed her
head very freely, and she was soon able to
tell a coherent story. I left her after awhile
to herself, with an occasional visit, and
in a few hours had the pleasure of seeing
her compose herself to sleep. She roused
once during the night and asked for a drink
and a fan, apologizing for troubling me,
went to sleep and slept quietly till morning.
When the officer came, in the morning, be
fore she was taken to court, she stoutly de
nied having been drunk. Seeing that there
was a likelihood of another disturbance, I
told him I would see to it that she answered
to the charge. He left her, and turning to
her I said:
“Mary, you were drank, and you must tell
the Judge so.”
“If you sav so, ma’am, I will.”
And she did. I gave her wise counsel,
promised to let her Family know where she
was, and shook hands with her. She bade
me an affectionate farewell, and I left her a
happier, if not a better woman. And this
was my night with a “terror.”
The Largest Opium Den in China.
From the North China Herald.
The Nan-giu-tsin is the greatest opium
den in China. It is situated in the French
concession in Shanghai, within a stone’s
throw of the wall of the native city, within
which no opium shops are supposed to exist.
The throngs visiting it represent all stations
of life, from the coolie to the wealthy mer
chant or the small mandarin. It is with
difficulty that one gets inside through the
crowds of people hanging round the door.
Those who have not the requisite number
of copper cash to procure the baneful pipe
waten with horrible wistfulness each of the
more affluent pass in with a nervous,
hurried step, or totter out wearing that
peculiar dazed expression which cornea
after the smoker’s craving Ims been satisfied
and his transient pleasure has passed away.
One requires a strong stomach to stand the
sickening fumes with which the air inside is
thickened. The clouds of smoke, the dim
light from the numerous colored lamjis, the
number of reclining forms with distorted
faces bent ovor the small flumes at which
the pipes are lighted, cause the novice a
sickening sensation.
But as soon as the eye becomes accus
tomed to tbs scone it ls noticed that the
place is got up on an expensive scale In the
centre of the lower room hangs one of the
finest of Chinese lamps, the ceiling is of
richly carved wood, while the painted walls
are thickly inlaiij with a peculiarly marked
marble, which gives the idea of unfinished
landscape sketches. Numerous doors on all
sides lead to tho smokers’ apartments. In
tho outer portion of the building stands a
counter covered with little boxes of the drug
ready for smoking, which a dozen assistants
are kept busy bunding out to the servants
who wait upon the habitues of the place.
The average daily receipts are raid to be
about £3OO. The smoking apartments are
divided into four classes. In the cheajw'st
are coolies, who pay about fourpence for
their smoke. In the dearest the smoke costs
about sevenpence. The drug supplied in
oacli class is much the same both in quality
and quantity; it is tho difference in tho
pipes that regulates the price. The best
Kinds are made of ivory, the stem being
often inlaid with stones and rendered inoro
costly by reason of elaborate carving; the
cheariest” kinds are made simply of hard
wood.
The rooms also are furnished according to
class. In the most expensive tho lounge
upon which the smoker reclines is of fine
velvet, with pillows of the fame material;
the frames of each couch arc. inlaid with
mother-of-poarl and jade, and tho whole air
of these rooms is one of sensuous luxury.
There is also a number of private rooms.
In the poorer section may be seen many
wearers of the tattered yellow and gray
robes of Buddhist aud Tavist priests.
Women form a fair proportion of the
snickers. Tho common belief i< that the
opium sleep is attended,by a mild, pleuMir
ablo delirium, with brief glances of Ely
sium; but this is tiie exi-e(itimi, not the rule.
People smoke tosatify the craving begotten
of previous ittdu Igenoea. There is aeeorn
mi station for I.V) smoker* at a time, and
there is seldom a vacancy very long. The
stream of smoker* am on from early morn
ing till midnight, v. lnai the place cioaen; the
cloud* of smoke go up Uiceswnntly all day
long.

Mammoth Millinery House.
We are now offering immense lines of New Straw Hats,
Ribbons, Feathers, etc., which are now being shipped daily
by our New York buyer, and our Mr. Krouskoff, who is now
North to assist in the selection of the Choicest Novelties in
the Millinery Line. It is astonishing but a fact, that we sell
fine Millinery cheaper than any retail store in New York. How
can we do it? Cannot tell. This is our secret and our suc
cess. Perhaps on account of large clearing out purchases or
perhaps from direct shipments from London or Paris—but no
matter so long as the ladies have all the advantages in stock
and prices.
We are now ready for business, and our previous large
stock will bie increased, and we are now offering full lines of

Children in an endless variety of shapes
RIBBONS, RIBBONS, new novelties added and our regu
