SIDEWALK IS THEIR MARKET Where All Sorts of Goods Are Disposed of by New York's "Down and Outs." At the Bowery approach to the Williamsburg bridge may be witnessed an interesting sight at any hour of the day, says the New York Times. This Is the gathering of near down-and-outs disposing of what is left of their wardrobes and who, being poor salesmen, usually take what is offered and not what they expected to get. The other morning there were four on hand. One had three frayed silk f two nairs of more or less worn trousers and three sets of silk underwear. He asked 50 cents each for the shirts and took $1 for the three. The trousers brought 75 cents the pair, while he had much trouble in disposing of the silk underclothing at 25 cents a garment. Another had a fur-lined coat which wasn't so very awful looking. He tried his best to get $5 for it and held en for nearly an hour. Finally- a motorman came along and, after digging in every crevice of his pockets, produced $4.78. This won the coat. A ragged fellow had three razors, for which he asked $1 each. A big fellow with wiry whiskers wanted a razor but wasn't willing to pay the price. He offered 45 cents, then 50. He bought for 60. This "market" is held in the open, on the sidewalk, and the police do not appear to care, for there is never any interference. GEORGE HAD ANOTHER GUESS Old Gentleman Had Also Been Doing Some Thinking About the High !Cost of Living. A congressman who is investigating the high cost of living said to a Washington correspondent: "The h. c. 1. is responsible for many vagaries and queer complications. "A young chap who had got engaged to a girl was talking over the future with her. " 'With prices what they are,' said the girl, 'we must be content, George, dear, with a small flat and one or, at the most, two servants.' "George coughed. " 'It's my idea,' he said, 'to live with your old man the first couple of years.' "'But, George?' "That's my idea,' he Interrupted. Think df the money we can save. No rent, no light, no grub bills, no coal.' " 'But?' " 'I insist on this thing,' George interrupted again. *1 tell you, I?' "Then the door opened softly and the girl's father entered the room. " 'Children,' he said tenderly, 'I have decided that when you get married Til come and live with you for the rest of my life.'" Salmon Saved Queen. The salmon with a ring in its mouth, ftat figures in the arms of the city of Glasgow, Scotland, which are also those of the ancient see, is said to record a miracle of St. Kentigern, the founder of the see, and the fourth bishop of Glasgow. A certain queen gave a soldier, with whom she had fallen in love, a ring that had been presented to her by her consort; but the king discovered the intrigue, and, having obtained the ring, threw it into the Clyde, and then demanded It of his disloyal lady. In her alarm she sought help from St Kentigern, and he, proceeding to the river, forthwith caught a salmon, which, on being opened, was found to have swallowed the all-important Jewel. The queen regained the good graces of the king, and lived a better life afterward. Believed Victims of Indians. Three skeletons, believed to be those tot early American settlers were unearthed at Kennebunkport. Me., by workmen leveling some land near an eld fort erected during the war of 1812. Two apparently were victims of Ihdian massacres or wars. Embedded In the skull of one of the skeletons was an Indian arrow. The tip of the kull of the second was chipped off cleanly, as if done by a tomahawk held in a well-trained hand. The third keleton was that of a man seven feet tall. It is believed that the bodies were buried In an old cemetery on this pot, and that the graves were covered over by earth thrown up when the fort excavations were being made. About the oeaa sea. Swimming in the Dead sea Is refreshing sport, but swimmers have to be careful not to get water into their eyes. In a ton of water from the Caspian sea there are 11 pounds of salt, in a ton from the Atlantic ocean there are 31 pounds, from the Mediterranean, 85 pounds; but in a ton of the Dead 6ea there are 187 pounds. Contrary to a prevailing belief, there are plains on the shores of the Dead sea that are so fertile and well watered that as soon as one crop is harvested anothef can be planted; but as a whole, the basin is a dreary region.?Youth's Companion. Girl Studies to Be Blacksmith. A girl junior at the University of Washington is learning the blacksmith's trade. Jazz is no lure to her, for the anvil chorus fills her ear and she looks forward to owning and operating a forge and a farm of her own. The desire to master blacksmithing arose from her resolve to be a farmer, and as such to know something of machinery, So she studies the fashioning of bolts and ban and the pointing si plowshare* . telephone Conversation A. i).
