NEW YOBS CITY. lKK>k_free, I was attracted to Pi n key by Ttiis great loveliness and the fact that he wore a portion^ of the uniform of a district messenger-boy. "It may be," 1 thoupht, 4-that all messenger-boys are not born tired, but that that is a condition affecting them only when on duty." Pin key, I concluded, was not on duty; he was uniformed only as to trousers, and he was, as I have said, most agreeably vivacious and alert. I first saw him emerging from a basement coffee-shop, from which, as he passed a table near the door, he acquired an extra doughnut, with •RTeat skill and neatness. On the sidewalk, he met a uniformed com­ passion. "Hullo, Stubby." •••'Hullo, Pinkey." They were passing each other with this when Pinkey produced the doughnut and gnnned. Stubby looked at it, then lit* tiiic concc stiop, and then he grinned. "Give us a piece." Pinkey broke tho cake and was passing half to Stubby, when he hes­ itated, and asked: "Got a cigarette?" "Naw." •'You're a lia>!" Then Stubby grinned, produced a package! gave Pinkey a cigarette, took half the doughnut, and departed, slowly. 6 Pinkey lighted up and started rapidly down the street, but stopped suddenly in front of a hand-organ, on which was seated a little, shivering, pink-nosed, white poodle, holding a tiny basket in its mouth. Pinkey made a motion of depositing money in the basket, and the shivering poodle made a motion of kissing his hand. It was the poodle's.onc poor little trick, and it amused Pinkey enor- nibusly; he mode the dog do it over and over again, and to the rage of the organ-grinder. "Go away, you leetle-ahoodlum-a!" Then Pinkey was in a rage. lie glared at the organist, with eyes con­ tracted and chin extended, and said, in a low, threatening, growl: "Soy, you call, me a hoodlum agin, an' I'll take a fall out of you!" The Italian--who was a big, mus­ cular fellow,' with two sound legs tucked under him, and two wooden §tumps strapped to his knees stick­ ing out in front of him--looked ready to spring to his feet and demolish Pinkey. "Sov, I'm on to you, voung felly. If youse jump me, de cop will seeyer wood legs is fakes, and run you off de beat. See?" Pinkey grinned after saying this, and made the poodle k:s> his hands again, and then discovered that it was ravenously interested in the greasy doughnut Pinkey still carried. "Oh, de purp's hungry: let's feed him," and he took the basket and be­ gan feeding the famished poodle, while the Italian nearly had a lit from rage. "Well, so long, young felly!" ex­ claimed Pinkey. when he had fed the poodle poddy; "I'll be along to-mor­ row, an' if youse have whaled depurp fer eating de sinker, I'll put decopon to yer fake legs." Pinkey replaced the bas'cet in the poodle's mouth, patted its head, grinned at the organist, shook his flst at him, and started down the street at a sprinting pace. I hurried after him from the show-window I had been pretending to examine, but his pace was such that I surely would have lost him. had he not come into Violent collision with a youngster about his size, who was superintend­ ing the progress of a mechanical toy across the sidewalk. "Who you running into, kid?" ex­ claimed the toy-vender, picking up his sample toy--a yellow ostrich, driven by a green man, in a red cart--and placing it by the side of his stock of goods, on the edge of the sidewalk. Pinkey really had the wind knocked out of hi in by the collision, and could not reply at onoe. He was rubbing iais hands ia front of him--I had seen that trick before, and suspected what nin over, I d better gi . A. a' n --: t i_ rl/»ll!ir c!iirl mv frinn/1 whr lies, an' he triC3 to tump me atl'-- The crowd giggled aud the officer scowled. * "Pinkey," he said, "you are a little liar. Go on ahout your business or I'll run you in for ttghting; and you"--to the other boy--"keep your toys off the sidewalk, or I'll nin you in." Then the officer moved off, slowly, and still with dignity. , While Pinkey was weaving his little romance, every eye was fixed 6n his e»oqueut lips; every one's eyes except mine. I had discovered a peculiar motidn of Pinkey's feet. The tin ostrich and driver were being skillful.y drawn apart from the stock of toys, and, when the officer moved off, the toy was between Pinkey's shoes. As the officer disappeared, Pinkey dropped his soft hat, with which he had been pretending to wipe his eyes, and, stepping back as he did so, the hat fell over the toy. When he picked it up, and resumed his dabs at his dry eyes, I knew the toy was his, and wickedly rejoiced. Then Pinkey darted off again, and I would have had great difficulty in following him had he not stopped ,every time he came to a toy-seller-- the street was lined with them--to inquire ir they were suffering for a fight, to blackguard them, and some­ times to snatch off their caps to shy them under the wheels of passing vehicles. Suddenly we came upon a toy-seller surrounded by a group of smiling people. Pinkey edged in, and I followed. The prettiest child you ever saw, a girl four or Ave years old, was crowing and laughing in mad delight over a strutting tin ostrich drawing the accustomed green man ani red cart. Her joy was so hilari­ ous, a crowd of smiMng people had stopped to share it. • "Oh, mamma, 1 want it!" she ex­ claimed, at last, and she grabbed up "the toy and hugged it to her bosom in an ecstasy of happiness. A woman, very poorly, but carefully, dressed, answered, in a low voice, in which there was sadness, "Come, Dorothy, mamma won't buy it now; some other day." "But, mamma, I love it: please dive it to Po'thy." , The woman took from a very small purse a dime, and offered it to the vender. "Dem walking-toys is two-bits," the boy said, with scorn. The woman replaced the coin, flushed slightly, and, taking the child's hand, said: "Come, Woroi'thy, put down the toy. We'll buy some­ thing else, pretty." Dorothy's eyes filled and her lips trembled. "Noting else is booful," she said, and, putting down the toy, walked away with her mother, chok­ ing, but determined not to make a scene. Pinkey and I followed them. It was several blocks before they turned into a quieter side-street, and then Pinkey overtook them. "Here, little girl, dis is fer youse," said Pinkey, producing the toy he had sequestered. The child uttered a cry of delight, and had the toy in her arms iu an instant. ' / ' "I--I cannct buy it; I am sorry," the mother said. "'Tain't fer sale," replied Pinkey. "It's a Christmas present." "You are a very kind boy," the lady said, smiling sweetly: "but my little gin must not take your toy.'* The situation .was becoming in­ volved and set about with social com­ plexities which were too intricate for Pinkey's primitive understanding. Ho looked a puzzled moment at the woman, grinned very good-naturedly at tlKTchild, and then, with startling suddenness, turned and ran as if for his life. I lost him then, for he turned like a rabbit at the first corner. Having devoted three-qaar- ters of an hour iu a profitless but pleasing study of Pinkey, I found my­ self just that much late for an en­ gagement at my club, and hurried there, making up a proper excuse as I went. Just as 1 reached the street entrance, I was overtaken by the man my : engagement was with, who said: "You got mv note, then?" ', Your note?/ "I sent one here an hour ago, say­ ing I should be detained. Heavens! what a racket!" Down the street surged a mob of men and boys of all conditions sur­ rounding two lighting dogs. Nearest the lighters was Pinkey, and over all the other noises came his voice: "Leave 'em alone. I soy! de'reeven match, even weight. Let'em fight!"' A policeman irrupted, and as a pre­ liminary means of securing peace, aimed a kick at Pinkey. He avoided the. kick neatly, so as to let it land on an inoffensive old gentleman, and squi rming out of the crowd, to my surprise, darted toward me. "Here conies the very boy I gave the note to. Here, you young brat! Didn't I give you a note an hour ago I to deliver at this club?" Not for any snace of a second was Pinkey embar­ rassed. "Yes, sir, but I'm sorry to say, sir, dere was a runaway an----" '•And you were killed, I suppose," interrupted my friend. "No, sir; it happened to be me poor old father, sir: his legs was broken, sir, and I had to tell the ambulance- driver where to take him, sir."

About five miles from Platte City, Mo., structure that alone can secure healthful warmth. The flimsy, poorly joined floorsand doors of modern I dwelling-houses make carpets a ne-1 cessityfor barest comfort, and have] been made cndurable only because of; these defects. This is the serious as pect of the question in point of rem-1 edy. An uncarpcted floor means draughts, cold, and every circum- j stance of discomfort: and until houses! are better built, no matter what elaboration of painting, staining or; polishing is bestowed upon the floors, ! their imperfection of structure would > still make rugs or carpets a neces- i sity. We are not aware of any sta-j tistics to prove the carpeting, nor isM way reliable data coul yet we are none the less convinced that carpets exert an evil influence, especially in the propagation ol our dreaded scourge, tuberculosis. That the sputum of phthisical persons may be dried, preserved and disseminated in the dust of the room is a proposi­ tion that in the present state of our knowledge needs only to be stated to believed. How often has this hap- J/jpened--indeed, is happening every day--and how often such infections pass for casesof family tenc.eticy and the like can only be surmised, but there can be little doubt that theory and fact are in close accord. What can be done to remove this evil? Lit­ tle, we confess: nothing without scientific agitation of the matter. Perhaps a radical cure is not to be ex­ pected, but a compromise may be effected. The necessit ies of our do­ mes! ic architecture, the warmth in sured. and the quiet that carpets se­ cure, will effectually prevent any at­ tempt at removal: but the same' ob­ jects may be obtained from small rugs, which can t>e frequently •ousted and at somewhat longer intervals taken to the cleaners for thorough steaming. Large carpets fastened to the floor, and to a less extent large rugs, not easily taken up for dusting, should be condemned.

Without a word or sign of warning, Pinkey's right flew out and his flst landed hard and flush on the mouth of the amazed* vendor. There was a short but very lively rally at close quarters, in which Pinkey was getting all the best of it (belonging to the leisure class, he had more time for the practice of the manly art of attack), when the gathered crowd was parted by the slow and dignified entrance into the ring of a policeman. "Stop that!" exclaimed the'officer. The boys' arms fell to their sides. "What's all this about?"

' One of the professors in the Insti- tute of Technology made a _ rather neat thrust the other day at certain literary tendencies of our times. He was lecturing on the domestic re­ lationships which exist among the lower animals, and instanced, as one of his illustrations, the case of a pair of mallard ducks who hai^ lived to­ gether for three years in a state of high conjugal felicity. At the end of that time, however,, a male pin­ tail duck appeared upon the scene, and the lady mallard thereupon im­ mediately forsook her former lord for the newcomer. The latter resisted her blandishments a* first, but in the end consented to mate with her, and the unfortunate mallard was left dis­ consolate. "This anecdote," observed the .lecturer, "contains, you see, all the details of the modern realistic novel, unless it be in the temporary virtue of the pin-tail duck--Boston Journal. The ln»oc«nc Suft' r fur tlix Guilty One evening, hours past the usual time of closing the shop, when the long-suffering Mr. Miles (an American) was rapidly drifting into a state of starvation from the postponement of his dinner hour, there caiue in five Frenchmen., one after the other, each askdng the following questions:-- •"What is the price of the little clocks in yourAvindows?" Have they an alarm attaclk.d? X)o you warrant them to go well?*' .Upon being, answered, they would depart without purchasing. The fifth had left, and Mr. Miles was in the act of rushing off in quest of his much- needed dinner, when a sixth French­ man entered. This was too much for the hungry* and exasperated American. Without waiting to hear what the comer had to say, he clutched him wildly and said,-- "Sir, I know just what yon are going to ask. Those little clocks are American. Their price is one dollar each. They have no aiarm attached. They only strike the hours. AVe will warrant them for a certain time only." The Frenchman hurried forth and rejoined his wife, whom he had left looking in the window. "My dear," he said excitedly, "they have a regular lunatic asylum in there." A Russian Doctor. A Russian journal reports an inter­ esting case of a philanthropic phy­ sician. Visiting the patients of his district, the doctor found that in many instances their sickness was caused by hunger. To the most needy he prescribed "six pounds of rye flour in doses of two pounds a day." He ordered his patient to get the medi­ cine at the drug store of the nearest village, where it would be issued free of charge everyday. The good doctor made arrangements with the druggist to supply the flour at his expense. In this way his patients will be kept; from starvation the whole winter. v Results of the Use of Tobacco. B. F.

He recovered his sight after a few days, but entirely lost his hearing. Then, as suddenly and mysteriously, he regained hi« hearing, but because quite dumb. He was in delirium for some time, but final­ ly he recovered completely.

What nobler work could a young man assume than that of promulgating abroad the vir­ tues of REID'S GERMAN COUGH AND KIDNEY CUR^? This great remedy la a message of healing to thousands. It contains, no opiate, but in all cas3& of long and obstinate colds, hard, dry coughs, sudden attacks ofpneumonia, pleurisy and maladies of that kind it is a certain cure.
