If You Haven't tho Money, You Can't Decided the Policeman. A policeman accomplished a delicate piece of diplomacy tlio other afternoon at Cathedral parkway and Columbus avenue. Excavations uro in progress there for a new building, and a gang of Italian laborers are doing tho work un dor the eyo of a boss of thoir own nationality. As the writer approached tho spot a young Italian laborer was angrily exchanging words with tho foreman. Ho carried his coat nu ouo arm and over the opposite shoulder was slung Iiis shovel, which he removed and shook in tho intensity of his gesticula? tion.

Suddenly hosuwnpolicoinan near by, and ho mado a dash for the bluecoat and asked for his assistance. Tho officer cumo along with the Ital? ian, and tho two joined tlio foreman. Tho policeman, who was an Irishman somo -10 years old, woro a magisterial air, looked patronizingly and kindly upon tho two Italians, who spoke good English, and then be listoncd gravely to their talo of WOO. The boss bad dis? charged the young fellow ou the spot, alleging that ho did not do his work satisfactorily. The young man wanted Iiis wages up to date.

The policeman thought that this was only fair and so told the foreman. "But I haven't the contractor's exclaimed tho foreman. "Let him go to tho office. His time is there, and he'll got Iiis money." Tho policeman looked as wise as an owl, and then turning to tho young Italian he thus delivered judgment: "Tho best thing you can do is to go to tho office and get yonr money. ho (pointing to the foreman) can discharge yon on the spot, you ought to net your money on the spot.

Br.t, you see, the foroman hain't got it." Tho policeman gave his thumb a jerk toward the street, tho young Italian took tho hint and with a sorrowful but re? signed air started on his mission to the office. "I think my view of tho justice of the situation was right," said tho offi oer a moment, later, "but bow could the fellow not bis money from a man who didn't have it Anyhow, a rum? pus." fc-o ho York Tribune. The Sight of Birds. Birds are commonly credited with an extraordinary rnugo of vision. Circum? stances lend aid to the development of tho mental factors in their case.

The usual distance at which terrestrial species uso their eyes is limited by tho ground horizon. But in tho case of tho soaring birds, such as vultures and eagles, tlio horizon, the natural limit of sight, is enormously extended. Mucgillivray early noted that though birds of prey have orbits of great size? tho cyobnll of tho common buzzard bo ing 1 Ja inches in do not, as a rule, soar when seeking their prey. The eaglo when hunting flies low, just as do tho sparrow hawk and the henharrier. Yet the vultures: and con? dors, birds which admittedly do soar when seeking food, have been proved to find carrion by sight.

A carcass was covered with canvas and somo offal placed upon it. The vultures saw this, descended and ntoit and then sat on the covered portion within a few indies of a putrid carcass. When a bole was mado in the covering, thoy saw and attacked the food bolow. But tho rapid congre? gation of vultures from a distance to a carcass is probably duo to thoir watch? ing their neighbors, each of which is surveying a limited area. Charles Dar? win pointed out that in a level country tho height of sky commonly noticed by amounted man is not more than 15 degrees above the horizon, and a vulture on tho wing at tho height of between 3,000 and 4,000 feet would probably bo two miles distant and invisible.

Those which descend rapidly and appear to have como from beyond the iaugo of human sight were perhaps hovering vertically over tho hunter when ho killed his Spectator. The Primitive Qun. As soon as the forces of tho explosive gases developed by tho burning of pow? der became known tho old style weap? ons disappeared, and firearms took their places. The first of the kind was a small gun barrel fastened to a long polo and fired with a slow mutch. Shot stones, balls of lead, iron bolts and fireballs to sot buildings on firo were propelled with this apparatus.

Only a short distance could be shot with those primitive guns. The old and clumsy siogo machines which threw heavy stones by means of a spring ropo woro changed into siege Age. Poultry anil Kggs. Tho poultry and egg crop of the Unit? ed States is estimated to bo worth $250, 000,000 annually.

BLOOD SPOT IN ITS V.to "Silke" Apple Thought to oruto a Murder of Long Aco.

A peculiar species of fruit is Iho "Mike" tipple. It. has a fair skin, an excellent Qavor ami is extensively prop? agated in the vicinity of Norwich, Conn. Each individual upplo exhibits somo where in its pulp a red speck, like a tinge of fresh blood, and thereby hangs a strange legend. Tho apple obtains its name from Mi COh Rood, farmer who lived upon tho cutlonds of tho Connecticut town in tho eighteenth century.

Tho son of Thomas Rood, ono of Norwich's early Bottlers, Micah tilled his fertile acres with nil tho zest of youthful ambition. But of a sudden his habits changed. He grew idle, restless and intemperate. He lost all interest in both work and worship. His cattle were neglected and Iiis neighbors shunned.

Some attributed the change to witchcraft. Others hinted at insanity. Winter wore away, spring returned, and tho orchard of Micah Rood burst into blossom. On one tree, it was then observed, the flowers had turnen from whito to red. The superstitious neigh? bors as Rood seemed drawn to this tree by some resistless fascination.

August came and the red blossoms developed into fruit. When tho large yellow apples fell from the branches, each ono was found to con? tain a well defined globule, known thereafter us "the drop of blood." The freak of the apple tree deepened the mystery of Micah's behavior. Con? jecture followed surmise, und soon it was rememberi that during tho pre? vious fall a foreign peddler had passed through Norwich and had spent the night at Micah Rood's. He had never been seen again. Some ono suggested that lie young farmer had murdered him for his money and buried the body under tin? apple troe.

Search was made for the body of tho stranger, but in vain. Nor was uuy trace of his stock found among tho possessions of the unhappy Micah. If a load of crime rested upon the conscienco of the suspected farmer, it never forced a confession from his lips. His farm drifted gradually to decay, and, too broken down to reclaim it, lie wander? ed about town, disordered in mind and body. He died in 1728, but whilo tho blood spotted apple continues to glow his name and history will be perpetuated.

York Herald. LI HUNG CHANG CARRIED HER. China's Viceroy Took Literally an InTita, lion to Kscort a I.itily. Speaking of the first meeting of Li Hung Chang und W. Foster, on which occasion the Chinese viceroy en? tertained woman at dinner for tho first time in tho person of Mrs.

Foster, the Washington Capital vouches for tho following story, which is ono of tho best illustrations of true oriental cour? tesy, combined with tho pecnliar serious? ness and matter of factuess of tho Chi ueso mind, ever related: When she was introduced to the vice? roy, Mrs. Foster wondered how she was to be taken into tho banquet room. Some time before, it seems, Li Hung Chang had been guest of honor at din? ner given by tho Russian embassador, and being asked to take tho embassador's wife, to the dining room, pioccedod to comply with a literaluess which aston? ished all the guests. Tho viceroy is a giant iu stature, and the embassador's wife being a small woman, ho had 110 difficulty in picking her up bodily and carrying her to tho table. Mrs.

Froster did not yearn for such honor and called upon her husband's diplomacy to arrange thatsho should be escorted in a less vigorous manner. Mr. Foster's tact was equal to tho occasion, and when tho doors wcro thrown open Li Hung Chang led the way, and Mrs. Foster followed him. Compensated.

Tho epigrams of Voltaire, tho French philosopher, wore often ruthlessly sar? castic and severe. He could, however, exercise tact and gentleness, and as is usually tho case with brilliant persons those qualities beeamo him wonderfully well. He met tho famous statesman Tnrgot. and cordially inquired about his health. "It is as you see," replied Turgot, "I am tormented with gout.

I can hard? ly drag my feet about." "You remind ino of tho titatno of Nebuchadnezzar, M. Turgot." "Yes," assented tho invalid sadly, "you aro right, poet, tho statue had feet of "And a head of gold," cried Voltaire warmly, "remember that, a head of gold. Companion. Kieling Astride. Tho new woman is only copying after tho ancient danio when she rides astride, as is now the fashion of tho royal prin? cesses and tho leading equestriennes of both England and America.

Joan of Arc rodo astride at the head of the French army, and Queen Elizabeth used to rido to falcon hunts in this fashion bohiud Lord Leicester. It was only in the sixteenth century that the sidesud dlo came into use in England, and women rode astride in Germany until the close of the eighteenth century. In most for' ign countries tho fashion of riding on one side has never been adopted by Tribune. Ilotli Are Favorites. "Yonr story is little vague atone point," said the publisher, and the young woman naturally wanted to know the whereabouts of the alleged vagueness.

For years I was a constant sufferer from weak lungs and bronchial asthma.

My rest at night wan disturbed by a backing cough, so that I felt miserable the greater part of the time. Many reme? dies recommended by friends were tried, none of which proved suitable to case. I did not experience any ben? eficial, results until I began taking Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. After two bottles of the large size have been used I am pleased to state my health is better than It has been for years. The soreness left my lungs and chest and I can breathe oasily.
