A Cute lui lii'iiiic l l.mtmi-nt.
There is a somewhat ancient dantc wh
livs near Washington square. She is by
no means good looking, being a good like
ness of the queon m "Alice in Wonder
land." The lndy is most methodic.il in her
habits and always catches tho saino
Seventh avenue car cery morning. An
other habit of. hers is always to give tho
conductor a $2 bill. He enduied it for some
time, but when he found out that every
morning the same thing occurred, and
there was a large hole made in his avail
able small change, he determined to put a
stop to it. In parenthesis it may be men
tioned that 12 is the limit for which a pas
senger may demand change.
A few mornings ago the conductor got
his revenge, for in return for the bill ha
handed tho woman 195 pennies. There was
an awful explosion, but tho conductor re
mained firm, nnd then she exclaimed she
"did not want them." A Thompson street
fellow, whose shortness of hair and general
appearance seemed to denote that the state
had been taking care of lrm, expressed
himself as ready to relieve the lady of her
change. This elicited no reply, and soon
the coppers disappeared in a wonderful old
reticule, and she herself got off at Thomp
son and Canal streets. She is not travel

For all that wo can foresee of the future.
tho dependence of man upon the conditions
of his environment is of 'an insuperable
nature. The good he wins he secures by
obedience to the commands of his mother
earth. Looking back over the history of
life upon tho earth's surface, the phys
iographer is forced to the conclusion that
its highest estate embodied in tho moral
and intellectual qualities of man has been,
in the main, secured by the geographic
variations which hive slowly developed
tLrough the geological ages" Thus our
continents and seas cannot le eons4dered
as physical accidents in which and on

got ready.
"Oh, I fancy you're mistaken,"' said
the doctor,
"No, I ain't. Lose no time. Come over
at once."
''Hold on! Ccugh in the telephone."
The girl, who had been listening, jerked
oat the plug connecting Tickleribs, put
that connecting the bass horn in its place
and tinkled the bell, according to previ

LIFE ON WESTERN WATERS IN THE
ANTE-STEAMBOAT DAYS.
The Keelboat and the Flatboat How the
Craft Tfere rropclled Doxcn aad Up
the Mississippi River Desperate Battle
on Board tho General Pike.
"The changes on the western rivers
have been many," said an old timer one
evening. "The first steamboat on the
Mississippi was, I think, ia 1S1L Prior to
that time, and for many years after, for
that matter, the river commerce was car
ried on in keel and liatboats. A keelboat
starting from Pittsburg would reach New
Orleans in about sixty days with from
thirty to fifty tons of freight. Some of
them carried passengers, families, travel
ers, hunters and others going down the
river frequently taking passaga on tho
keel.
"The keelboats were light, long and
narrow, sharp at both ends and round bot
tomed. They were rigged with one or two
sweeps on a side for propelling purposes,
and a 'sweep' on one end for me as a
rudder. These sweeps or bars were usnal
ly made of small trees about thirty feet
long and hung to the side of the boat on
iron pins. The big end of the tree was in
board' or on deck. The small or outer end
had an inch board, about a foot wide and
eight feet long, nnxled diagonally across it
to form the blade 0 the oar.
"These 'sweeps' wen used in still water
and for working the boan out of bends in
the river, out of eddies and making cross
ings and landings. To work the sweep the
boatman would take the pole against one
shoulder, and quartering across the breast
would push, not pull, with a walk up
about fifteen feet, carrying it back to get
another hold in tire water. It was ex
tremely hard work, and very trying on
clothes and shoe leather.
IIARD WORE GETTTXO BACK. .
"The boats were also rigged with a mast
and square sail, and often carried a small
cannon for protection against Indians and
lower river pirates. A keelboat would be
from three to six months on' the return
trip from New Orleans to Pittsburg.
Down tho river with the current was slow
enough, but against the current was tough
sailing. Where bottom could be reached
poles were used, but in deep swift water
'warping' or 'cordella' was the motive
power. To 'warp' is to run a line ahead
and fasten it to a tree on the bank, and
then all hands haul on the line. To 'cor
della' was to take a rope ashore, and all
hands get hold and haul or tow the boat
a very slow, hard process.
"As steamboats became more numerous
the keelboats dropped out of uj-e, and tho
flatboat camo into service. A flatboat
would make the run down the river In
about the same time as a keelboat, but
they never returned, tneir owners selling
them at their destination for little or noth
ing. The purchaser generally broko rp
the boat and used the lumber for building
purposes. They were rigged and manned
about the same as a keelboat, but were dif
ferently constructed. They were what the
name implies flat, especially on the bot
tom. "The deck or 'roof was slightly crown
ing athwartship. The boat was from SO to
120 feet long, 18 to 20 feet beam, j-qnaro at
both ends above water, with a short 'rake'
or run at each end from the bottom to the
deep water line. They would carry from
100 to 150 tons of freight, and their kind was
known by the cargo they carried, as 'pork
boat, 'hay boat,' 'corn boat,' 'live hog
boat,' 'pumpkin boat,' 'hoop polo boat,'
from Posey county, Ind.; 'chicken boat.
from the Wabash nnd White rivers; 'salt
boats,' from the Big Kanawa river, and
'coal boats.' from Pittsburg. The points
of destination were Memphis, Vicksburg,
Natchez and New Orleans, mostly tho lat
ter. I have seen at the levee in New Or
leans as mauy as 200 liatboats at one time.
BEATIKQ THE WAT HOME.
"It was nothing uncommon to pass twen
ty or thirty of them a day on a steamboat
trip down the river. Some of them would
be tied up to tho banks, some at anchor,
others drifting along with oars at rest and
tho crew having ajollification. As Foon as
a flatboat was landed at New Orleans the
entire crew, except one man, was paid oft,
and as they had no opportunity on the trip
to spend their money they got their wages
all in a 'pile.' Then they would start out
for a high old time, and have it, too. They
would usually remain in 'Orleans' until
their money was gone, or at least all but
enough to pay their passage up tho river,
and, as they generally took deck puMMige,
which was only $2.50 or J, they didn't re
quire much of a surplus. Sometimes 15C
or 200 flatboat men would be on one Meam
er, and woe would be to the boat when
the clerk attempted to collect the fare.
They would not only refuse to pay, but
would often take possession of the lower
deck.
"I was a passenger on the General Plk
when there was just such a gang on board.
When the clerk called on them they gath
ered on the after part of the boat and re
fused to pay a cent. Not only did they re
fuse to pay, but they nearly killed tho nn
lucky clerk. Tho boat was landed at a
wood yard, and the crew, armed with
clubs, attempted to make the flatboat men ,
pay or go ashore. The roughs were armed '
with knives, and the most terrible fight In
the history of the river took place.
"The crew was driven forard to the '
fo'castle deck, the lines were cut and tbt
boat M-t adrift, and taking full possession i
of the boat the engineers were compelled
to send the steamer up the river. Two of
the crew were killed, and the mate no badlj '
injured that he did not leave his room
until we reached Cincinnati. At Natchez
the captain got assistance, and half tht
rowdies were pot ashore. The balance paid
their fare." Indianapolis Newn

England's Tastti In Smoking.
The English cigara aro made of Aaer
ic'an tobacco, bnt fail in manipuUtion
according to our staxdartL They look
bright and "wooden" rather than like a
natural leaf product. When cigars were
introduced into England they all came
from 'Cuba, nud this being before tha
days of steam the goods wew fiv
or sbr. weeks in transit, packed ia
the vessel's hold with no ventilation.
The cigars being made in a humid cli
mate, packed while fresh, fermented and
generated a fungus (like mites in cheew),
which tasted very bitter when smoked,
utterly destroying their ralne. It w
then discovered that by subjecting tfca
cigars to the dry heat of a kiln the lif
of the fungus was destroyed and tks
cigar became smokable.
It is owing to this fact that the En
glish insist on "dry" cigars to the pres
ent day, and pinch them to see if they
crackle before they buy them. The cigar
dealers knowing thu mark a date on the
bottom of cigar boxes when fresh stock
is received, but the dite marked ia six
months back, so a 1kx marked Oct. lt

Swallowed TTIt Cigarette.
Dr. Lapeyre mentions a remarkable
case, in which an elderly gentleman, (a
consequence of a sudden slap ou the
back, unconsciously drew the cigarette
he was smoking into his right bronchof,
where it remained without causing any
symptoms or in any w.iy revealing tts
presence for nearly two months, when It
sot up pneumonia in a circumscribed
area, and produced cardiac weakneea and
some cedema of the lungs.
After this condition had lasted with
out much change for about two months
more the patient expelled during a vio
lent fit of coughing the cigarette, envel
oped in mucus and waxy looking matter,
and then remsuibered that he had never
found his cigarette after tho ulap on the
back four months before. Tho pneumo
nia rersisteil for two or three months
after the expulsion of the foreign body,
and some cedema of the right lung, due
probably to embolism, remained at the
date of the rejwrt nearly a year later.
This, as well as some other cases that
have been published, appears to show
that the bronchi .ire e xcmnhngly tolerant
