Satisfaction guaran THEY WINTER AFLOAT HUNDREDS OF PERSONS SPEND MONTHS IN CANAL BOATS _ In Their Little City They Dance the Long Nights Away and Make Merry—Constant Care Must Be Taken ofthe Carriers of Grain, It is one of the strangest cities in the world. Every day it rises and falls twice, and every house in unison. Every year it comes; every year it goes. Often the same houses compose large portions of it year after year, and then again strange new dwellings creep in to rise and fall with the whole settlement. Every winter sees it flourishing; every pring sees it depart, eve to the last ves- lige. Strange, indeed, a... yet casily ex- pliined, for it is a city ef voats-—th@ Noats of the great Krie Canal. Its yearly loca- tion is the Erie Basin, at the southern ex- tremity of Brooklyn. To the wayfarer or the sightseer this city presents a novel view. The whole of the basin proper—an area of about twenty acres—is a wilderness of roofs of these edd craft. With the exception of the few smokestacks of occasional canal steamers, the strings of flapping clothes, ont on lines to dry, and the figures of mon, Women and children at various oc- cu) ations, the aspect is one of flatness and monotony. No tall belching chimineys, no sky scraping buildings, no lofty spires of churches make this village like any other in existence. And yet it represents wealth, industry, human interest, every- thing, as it silently rises and falls on the tides, In the city are nearly four hundred boats, lashed together so closely that a child could hardly find a place between them where it could fall into the water below if it tried. There they are, those ef the poor and the poorer and the ‘‘well to do,’’ snuggled together to breast out the winter storms. They have been there since the latter part of November last, and will remain until early in May. It isa queer condi- tion of enforced idleness. The boats represent nearly all of the total number plying the Erie Canal, and are those which got through before the ice blocked their road. They came down loaded with cargoes of grain, and inhabit- ed by families that have no other homes. Of the total number now in the basin, about one hundred and fifty are still deep in the water with burdens of grain. When it is considered that these have an average of 8,000 bushels apiece in their holds, and that the plainest of the boats is worth from $3,000 to $5,000, while many are valued at from $10,000 to $15,000, the statement that the little city represents consicerable money at once becomes evi- dent. As for the idleness, it is a yearly part of the boatman’s programme, therefore is provided for or rather merely anticipat- ed, for it is exceedingly difficult to pro- vide tasks against the many long hours of winter when every one must be inside, under closed hatches. Few denizens of this barg appear upon its roof streets. Now and then a man engaged {n some small occupation shows himself; a youngster trips across from boat top to boat top on some errand; a curly head 1s thrust out of a hatchway long enough to satisfy the owner's curi- osity, or a swain and his lady love walk 2 the domes Sand in have. In names the owners of these ‘‘houses’’ seem to have been blessed with more fruitfulness than originality. They have long and short, hard and easy, harsh and euphonious titles. Family names have ben used and abused without end. The name of ‘‘R.G. Ingersot’’ is conspicuous, and, singularly enough, this boat is rub- bing sides as closely as possible with one whose name is ‘‘ Agnostic.’’ One man who was owner, captain and crew of his craft, was not only agreeably communicative, but he was unusually in- telligent and well posted. He was sawing up some pieces of driftwood which he had fished from the water and thrown on _ his roof to dry. In answer to a question as to how long the boats would remain in the winter city he said: ‘“That depends somewhat on the weather and more on when they sell their cargoes. All these boats which you see sunk low are loaded, the others are empty. The empty ones could go any time, except that the canal and part of the river are frozen tight. ‘“4 few do go out every day to get loads to take up, but they come back here to wait for spring. About May 1 the boats will all be gone, but they will go so gradually and quietly that you will hard- ly know when or how they did it. ‘‘Breaking up generally starts earlier than this, but so far we haven't been able to even scrape and paint. The spring is back ward.”’ “What about the steamers taking the places of the horses on the canal, and then electricity running the whole thing?’ ‘Well, the horses will be uesd for a long time to come. There are not very ‘any steamers so far. Only a small per- eentage of the line boats are towed by them. Electricity ia a long way off, but it’s coming. “The overhead wire doesn’t seem to be just the thing. What they need is a sort of locomotive on a track where the horses are now. With such a thing, about five to eight boats could be towed at once. If any broke loose, the locomotive could back up and get them easily, but that is a hard job now, and always blocks the canal. “The trouble, though, abou+ putting down a track is that they cannot in any way disturb the horses; it’s illegal. I don’t know how they'd fix it, but electri- city will be used sure, some day.’’ he social life in this ephemeral city is as complete as that in any New England village. Lashed side by side, here every storm sweeps all alike, and where every poat is packed in like a herring to his neighbor in a barrel, there yet exist wide social differences and the regulation caste which seems to accompany humans every- where. Nearily every one knows nearly all the persons in the floating town. " ‘his is unavoidable, as they constantly meet on the roofs of each other’s houses as they walk to and fro. The children, too, get a quainted at the water barrel, a con- venience on Wheels, designed to take the necessary supply as near to kitchen doors as possible. It is the height of indiscretion for a yan out in the middle of the pack ot boats to get upon poor terms with the shoreward neighbors. They can make it excecdingly disagreeable to him as he walks from housetop to housetop.

Representatives from churches of all denominations have visit- ed them, interested them and made them welcome in the pews of any churches they prefer. Entertainments are also arrang- ed for the boxt people, and the attend- ance is usually good. For their own amusement the persons who are huddled together for the winter go Visiting at each other’s boats and have parties of all descriptions. In the hulls of unloaded boats are great spaces that make excellent dancing halls, the music being tuenished cither by accordions or organs. which some of the more prosperous person; have on board, Interiorly the homes differ as much as could be expected where every ‘‘building”’ is almost precisely like its fellows. Some are snug, cosy, clean, inviting; others show signs of want, lack of care and gen- eral neglect. Nearly all have something in the way of decoration, if it-is only 4 chromo off a peach can or a wreath left over from the Christmas season. All are provided with nearly all the pro- visions necessary for the winter, the occu- pants buying only the perishable things required from day to day. Above all, each is a home, wandering though it be, and the hearts of those within if warm to the word with asincerity which is beauti- ful to ses. The Comforts of Traveting. Women who travel much have long ago learned the wisdom of burdening them- selyes with as little’as possible, and yet taking all they may require. For wear on the sleeper, a fiannel bed-gown and soft, loose slippers are necessury, While for day wear the wise woman chooses a pair of tow shoes that have been made com- fortable by use. Gloves should be easy- fitting, and a hat should be selected with a view of its coming well on the forchead so that the front hair can be worn plain- ly. Curling bangs on the train is usual- ly a great deal of trouble, and by this ar- rangement a ragged, limp-looking bang is never seen. Soft felt hats are liked for traveling wear when one is to be many days on the train. Arranging one’s hair smoothly and hay- ing it look nest at all times makes it quite possible for one to remove one’s hat and be entirely at ease. The best advice to give the woman who is traveling is that she must not be ina hurry. Hurrying will tire her out be- fore she starts, will make her face red and upset her nerves. Let her arrange as to time, know exactly how much ‘she has, and study the art of reaching her train punctually, which does not mean a hour too soon or three minutes too late, but just ahead of the hour set. It is her duty to look well, but not to be overdressed. It is her duty to have with her the be- longings she may require, but she should not have so many unnecessary things in the way of bundles and bags that the pub- lic feel that she is an unpleasant care upon them. It is her duty to preserve her temper, to look for all agreeable things, to ignore the disagreeble ones, and then, indeed, will she find pleasure as she goes abroad ‘‘strange countries for to see.’’ a ———$ Little, But Cood, Cardinal Tosti took his greatest delight in watching people eat who were ‘‘bles- sed’’ with voracious appetites, and, to gratify his whims he frequently invited a company of notorious great eaters, and regaled them with an abundance of the choicest viands he could procure. One day, being inaspecially good humor, His Eminence said to his cook—‘tTo-day you must ask three men of extraordinary cap- acity to dinner, and prepare a set of courses that would satisfy eighteen ordin- ary persons.”’ The cook set off to Ripagrande, where he selected the strongest and most famish- ed looking of the porters he found stand- ing about, provided them with decent clothes and took them to the Cardinal's palace, The table groaned under a gigan- tic heap of the best and dearest catables to be had. The porters required no pres- sing, but made a raid on the provisions like a pack of hungry wolves. The Card- inal watched the proceedings from behind a curtain, and was delighted when ina comparatively short time all the nice things which adorned the table had dis- appeared, down to the very last. As gen- uine Romans the three revellers were not unmindful of the rules of politeness, and one of them was deputed to express to His Eminence their heartfelt thanks for his real kind invitation. A footman took him into the presence of the Card- inal. “Well,” inquired the old gentleman, with a smile, ‘‘did you enjoy your fecd?’’ ‘Very much, Your Eminence!’’ was the reply. ‘‘Little, but good!’’—I Mas- saggero. Keeping Himself Posted. Why shouidn’t a man read fashion notes if he wants to? He has a perfect right, certainly, and it is quite comme ad- able in him to keep himself thus ‘‘post- ed,’’ for it is a sort of satisfaction for a woman to be told by a man who she knows ‘‘knows’’ that her gown or bonnet is ‘‘just the thing.’’ He is » modest looking young man, working for a very moderate salary, but has a very charming little wife, and it was known among their friends that they meant to attend, just once, the grand opera. Riding out on a crowded car the other evening he unfolded his paper and began to read. There was a whole col- umn of fashion items, illustrated, with suggestions as to how to get up an econ- omical and pretty toilet for grand opera wear, and of course he was interested and began to follow it. A lady sitting next him innocently enough glanced at the paper, and, as a matter of fact, the first thing that her eye rested upon was the fashion column. The young man looked up at her from his paper and blushed as if ashamed to havs been caught in the act, and immediately his eyes sought some telegraphic news, while the lady smiled knowingly and encouragingly; s6 he presently turned down the page of the paper and finished reading, word for word, all that was said about bodices and bonnets. Landlady—Why didn’t you ring the dinner bell, Minna? Servant Maid—I couldn’t find it. ma’am. Landlady—I told you it was hanging in the hall. Servant Maid—Excuse me, ma’am, you told me only this morning that it was the breakfast bell. ~Eulenspiegel. ‘I'm afraid,’’ said the writer to the magazine editor, ‘‘that I can’t give you any more Napoleon anecdotes.’"" ‘‘Why not?’ ‘I can't think of any more.” ‘And yet you come into the employ of this concern with [gggagm ons as a man of original ideas!’ prorTeee= from the grip, pneumonia, diphtheria, fever and epidemics is given by Hood’s Sarsapa- rilla, It makes PURE BLOOD.

JOHN NEWSON. ap30—2m at | CAN WE ASPHYXIATE MICROBES! \A French Scientist Melieves that Argon May be the Food of Bacteria. A French scientist is making investiga- tions regarcing the part the newly discov- ered gas ‘‘argon’’ plays towards bacteria. The new gas which has so long been a part of our atmosphere without our know- ing it, has been combined with oxygen, hydrogen, chlorine, phosphorus, sulphur, potassium, sodium and many other ele- ments without any result. So faras the scientist can ascertain, ‘‘argon’’ has no effect chemically upon the higher ani- mals. It may, however, be necessary to the nourishment of bacteria, and this is what he proposes to find out. Supposing ‘‘argon’’ not to be necessary to man and necessary to bacilla, steriliz- ation will be rendered much easier and the door be opened to all sorts of bacteri- ological possibilities. Ia «a Wuffet Car, The famished man fell into the arms of the relief committee, gasping ‘for food. To the miserable man they brought soups, fishes, loaves and other things, and for six steady hours he devoured all they brought. Doctors clustered round him and finally announced that he would live. Then they gave him brandy and bade him tell his awful tale. ‘‘T_was—there—five—days,’’ he whis- pered hoarsely, ‘‘five days. If you had not rescued me I would surely have starved to death.’’ He sank back, exhausted at the effort, which had evidentiy been too much for him. All the members of the committee clustered around him and pleaded with him to tell where he had been. At last he revived sufficiently to murmur: “‘In a buffet car.’’ All, everyone there present who had traveled ina buffet car and tried to get something to eat shudder- ed and covered their hands with their faces. Even strong men turned away their feet and cried. She Has the Sleeves. ‘There, my love,’’ said the young hus- band, as he placed a large bandle on the table, ‘‘I’'ve bought Ym, 4 pair of sleeves."' 4 “Oh, you darling,’’ oxclefined the de- lighted wife. ‘‘I’m so Jappy. Anything will do for a dress.’’ No Crops This Year.
