THREE QUEER CITIES.
—— I ■
; Each One U Built on I.Un«U Coanactad
by Many Bridges.
M The city of Ghent, in Belgium, is
1 built on 26 islands. These- islands wre
‘ connected with each other by 80
r bridges. The city has 800 streets and 80
public squares. It is noted for being the
r birthplace of Charles V and of John of
t Gaunt, whom Shakespeare called "time
- honored Lancaster, ” and as the acene of
1 the pacification of Ghent Nov. 8, 1576,
* and of several insurrections, sieges and
executions of well known personages. It
[ is associated with American history by
I the treaty made there Deo. 24, 1814,
t terminating the second war between
; England and the United States, known
i as the war of 1812.
1 Amsterdam, in Holland, is built on
* piles driven far below the water into
‘ the earth. The city is intersected by
: many canals, which are spanned by
. nearly 800 bridges, and resembles Ven
i ice in the mingling of land and water,
•-■ though it is considerably larger than
that city. The canals divide the city,
which is about ten miles in circumfer
ence, into 90 islands.
The city of Venice is built on 80
islets, which are connected by nearly
400 bridges. Canals serve for streets in
* Venice, and boats, called gondolas, for
carriages. The bridges are, as a rule,
very steep, rising considerably in the
middle, but have easy steps. The cir
cumference of the city is about eight
miles. The Venetians joined the Lom
bard League against the German em-
■ peror, and, in 1177, gained a great vic
tory in defense of Pope Alexander 111,
over the fleet of war vessels headed by
Otto, son of Fredecio Barbarossa. In
gratitude for this victory the pope gave
the Doge Ziani a ring, and instituted
the world famous ceremony of "Venice
Marrying the Adriatic Sea." In this
ceremony the doge, as the chief ruler of
i Venice used to be termed, with appro
priate ceremonies dropped a ring into
the sea every year in recognition of
the wealth and trade earned to Venice
by the Adriatic.
THE DUNKERS’ LOVE FEAST.
Feet Washing, the Great Sapper aad the
Kiss of Peace.
"The most important and the most
beautiful custom of the Dnnkers is their
i love feast, which they celebrate in com
memoration of the Lord’s supper, after
the manner of the primitive Chris
tians, ” writes Clifford Howard in de
-1 scribing.the customs of the Dnnkers of
; Ephrata, Lancaster county, Pa., in The
Ladies’ Home Journal.
"The celebration is held at nightfall
and begins with the rite of feet wash
ing, in imitation of the act performed
by the Master at the last supper, when
he washed the feet of his disciples.
Small tubs of lukewarm water are
brought in, and those about to receive
the ordinance remove their shoes and
stockings. The brothers then in turn,
each one girding himself with a towel,
wash and* dry one another’s feet, the
sisters at the same time doing likewise
among themselves in their part of the
room.
"After this follows the supper, the
feast of love, which is spread on long
tables and consists of lamb soup and
bread and other simple viands. It is
eaten in devout solemnity and rever
ence. At the close of the meal the broth
ers turn to one another and extend the
right hand of fellowship and the kiss of
' peace, each one shaking hands with his
neighbor and kissing him, while the
sisters at their tables perform the same
beautiful rite among themselves. The
communion is then administered. ”

Owls In Chicago.
Chicago has a novel trade in owls,
, the supply coming to the commission
merchants from the farmers’ boys in
the nearby states.
The first owl which came to Chicago
in this manner was sent as a venture by
i a farmer boy, who had somehow man
aged to entrap it alive. It proved so un
expectedly successful in ridding the
warehouse of rata and mice—having
' been freed at night with the idea of
making an experiment in this direction
—that it was purchased by the man in
1 whose care it was resting. The freedom
from rodents which it brought induced
’ other commission men to look out for
owls, and from the commission firms
the idea gradually spread to the grocers,
butchers and market keepers generally
of the city. Now a large percentage of
these men keep an owl down in the cel
; lar during the daylight and bring it up
to the store when darkness falls. It is
said that x the expense and care of main
taining owls are more than repaid by
i their services in vanquishing the rats
and mice. The owners and janitors of
1 the large apartment houses in the city
| are also beginning to realize the value
( of possessing an owl when rats, mice,
cockroaches and vermin generally are to
'■ be exterminated.—Chicago Times-Her

Picking Poelcata With Tom.
The gauchos, or dwellers in the ex
’ tensive plains of Buenos Ayres, are
marvelously dexterous with both hands
and feet. Many of them have acquired
( through long practice such skill in
using thdr toes as if they were fingers
that they can fling the lasso and even
pick pockets with them. Some time ago
a Frenchman who was fishing in one of
* the rivers of Buenos Ayres wad warned
1 to be on his guard against the.fight fin
gered natives. He forthwith kefct a vig
ilant wateh on his companions, but
nevertheless one day, when his attention
was closely riveted on his float, a wily
gaucho drew near, and, delicately in

BILINGUAL TELEPHONES.
A Story at the Expense of a Milwaukee
Millionaire Brewev.
J. G. Nolen, who is an old timer in
the electrical construction business, tells
a story on "Vai** Blatz, the millionaire
brewer of Milwaukee.
"Our company had had some corre
spondence with Mr. Blate regarding the
putting in of a telephone plant in his
big brewery establishment, and I was
sent up to try to close a deal
"I took a couple of ph<x»» with nre
in order to make a practical demonstra
tion should one be required, and I,went
with the intention of making a sale.
"I got to talking wjth Mr. Blatz and
showed him the adtajjtage of putting in
our interoommunicative system through
out his establishment. He listened at
i tentively, and finally said:
“.‘Yes, that is all so;.very true,
i But, ’ and he spoke with the conviction
i ofone who waa putting a poser, ‘but
' my men down in the malthouse and the
Warehouses and oold storage are all
i Dutchmen.
" ‘I, myself, though a German and a
' graduate of Leipsic and Heidelberg, can
speak English, but what would your
telephones be to my Dutch workmen,
who cannot speak English at all?’
"Well, I saw how the land lay. Old
i Vai could not get it through his head
that the telephone would transmit any
; thing but the language of America. I
■ was bound to make the deal, as I said
before. So I.remarked to Mr. Blatz:
“ ‘I can put on some German receiv
. ers if you so desire. I have some with
■ me.’
! "I connected up the phones, made a
i show of changing the receivers, and in
half an hour Mr. Blatz was talking to
1 one of his Dutchmen down in the malt
house. He was delighted.
" ‘You may put them in, * he. said,
i ‘and I shall want one German one in
the malthouse, one German one in each
i warehouse, English ones in my office
i and the business office' and a German
, one in the cold storage house. ’
"We closed the deal and Mr, Blate
was glad to pay $3 extra for each Ger
i man ennnoiator we put in. When the
> phones were stopped from the factory,
i I had them labeled German and English
respectively, and the big brewer was
i perfectly satisfied.
"It was five years before I ssw Blatz
i again, ’’ concluded Mr. Nolen. "He rec
i ognized me at once and said with a
hearty German laugh: ‘You are the ac
commodating gentleman who put in the
> German and English telephones forme.
! Well, you are a good one.’ ’’ —Milwau-

I A Negro Turning White.
i A curiosity rarely witnessed in thia
country was seen at too office of the
pension examiners in this city today. It
was a negro man turning white. The
man’s name is Sam Smith. He is 67
i years old and came here today from
i Georgetown to stand an examination
for a pension, he having served in the
i Union army. More than three-fourths
' .of the man’s entire body is white, the
. skin fairer by far than that of the or
dinary white man. The dark skin re
i maining on the body is only in small
; spots. Smith says that his skin began
! turning white in 1867, and the dark
i skin has been disappearing from the
i body ever since. The physicians who
. examined him today think that should
1 the old man live a few years longer he
' will be entirely white save perhaps the
i face. A peculiar feature of the case is
that the face has not been turning white
> along with the rest of the body, the
> white only showing at a few places be
. neath the hair on the forehead, and not
* on the face at all.—Lexington (Ky.)
i Letter in Cincinnati Enquirer.
To examine the Bye.
i If anything gets into your eye, don’t
! rub it. Good advice, but a little diffl-
• cult to follow, for one instinctively rubs
i the eye under these circumstances.
Nevertheless, don’t do so. Get some one
> to turn the upper eyelid gently over a
thin penholder, so that he may see ths
ball of the eye thoroughly. If lime gets
into the eye and if you see the substance
at once, wash out the eye with vinegar
' to two parts of water. If, however, you
* don’t see the particle immediately, sim
-1 ply put sweet oil or olive oil into the
eye and send for the doctor.—New York

tumbledown tenements, in a remote
suburb. Its massive gates are locked and
jealously guarded. A visitor must not
only be earefnl where he steps and re
fraih from touching, be must also
breathe with great caution. One of the
terrible poisons manufactured here la
pure anhydrous acid, a drug seldom
seen outside a chemical laboratory. This
is the deadliest of all known poisons.
The discoverer was stricken dtad from
inhaling its tames. -From $ to 5 peg
cent of this chemical added to 95 or 97
parts of water makes pruuaio acid. This
diluted poison cautts instant death,
even when taken in minute quantities.
Nsxt to anhydrous acid, the worst
poison they make is cyanide of potas
sium. Last year they turned out over
1,000 tons of it. Five grains being a
fatal dose, the annual output would be
sufficient to kill 2,500,000 people. Id
the workroom, where men are gathered
around a witch's caldron containing
over r handled weight of molten cya
nide, a* strange picture is presented.
The seething mass of white hot liquid
poison, with the lambent play of the
furnace fires, the phantom faces of the
workmen, enveloped in an uncanny
looking glass mask, peering into the
heart of the dreadful mixture through
the thick atmosphere, are a terrible
sight In another room, where are tons
of the finished product, looking like
crystalized sugar, "good enough to
eat" one man is never allowed alone.
For some inexplicable reason it exer
cises a strange fascination for the men
who inhale its fumes. They are haunt
ed by a desire to eat it. But, knowing
that satisfying the craving means in
stant death, most, but not all, are able
to resist it Aside from this fascination
its manufacture is not considered un
healthy. The same cannot be said of
corrosive sublimate. Its fumes are dead
ly.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

They were just closing up the real es
tate deal, and the man who always
wanted something thrown in to make a
good bargain appeared to hesitate.
‘ ‘What’ll you throw in?”
“ What’ll I what?”
"What’ll you throw in as a sort of
bonus?”
“Oh, yes, yes, of course!” said the
real estate man. "How stupid of me!
Why, the fact is, in our line of business
we are not exactly in the habit of giving
Erizes, but, in this case, just to make it
inding, I don’t mind throwing in the
back taxes. ’’
"Now you’re talking business!” ex
claimed the would be purchaser. "It al
ways pays for a man'to stick out for his
righto.”
It Was only after the transfer was
made that he discovered the back taxes
were payable by and not to the owner.

THIRTY-NINE YEARS IN BED.
Queer Whim of an Bn*lhh Woman Who
Has Jost DM.
A spinster of fortune died recently at
Teignmoutb, Devonshire, who for the last
89 years baa led a most extraordinary life
One evening in the year 1858, being
then in her thirty-eighth year and in per
fect health, she retired to rest, as usual.
The following morning she remarked that
bed waa the most comfortable place in the
world and announced her intention of re
maining there for the rest of her natural
life, and she did.
Frohs that day until the day. upon which
she was placed in her coffin she never got
up again, although remaining to within a
few months of her death in the best of
health. For two years she lay in an up
stairs room, but for the last 87 her bed
was placed in one on the ground floor,
commanding the entrance to the bouse
and grounds. From this vantage point,
by an ingenious arrangement of mirrors,
she could see everything that went on
around the house and in the gardens, while
her sense of hearing became so aeute that
nothing transpired inside its four walls
which escaped her attention.
Neither the death of her father nor that
of her mother, which took place after she
had retired for this long rest, operated to
alter her resolution. On the latter’s de
cease she found herself possessor of the
property. She had the house locked up at
9 o'clock every night and the keys pnt on
a table at her bedside. She proved an ex
cellent woman of business, transacting all
bar affaire, managing her servants, enter
taining her guests and revising her visit
ing list without turning a counterpane, so
to speak. Neither did she change her diet
in any way, but, despite her recumbent
habit of life, continued to eat her usual
meals, dining at 8 and consuming such
things as ducks, game, peaches, pork and
all things indigestible and taking her
eoffee and liquors regularly all her life.
Doctors visited her, but she had no need
of their prescriptions, and it was only a
few months ago that the effects of her ex
traordinary manner of life began to be
visible. Then she gradually broke up.
The medical men who made a post mortem
examination of her remains found that
her heart and lungs wore free from disease,
ao that had she led an ordinary existence
she would Id all probability have lived for
another 10 or 15 year*. At her death, at
the age of 77, she weighed nearly 17 stone,
and the coffin in which she was buried
waa considered the largest ever made in
South Devon. She waa no miser, but lived
well, gave freely and handed on her for
tune unimpaired to her collateral descend
