THE AUTO’S USEFULNESS. _ Attast a sphere of general usefulness has been found for the automobile. Up to recently It was considered an extravagant luxury which the rich class could afford and the poor masses could dodge. It was supposed to pander to the pleasure of the few, not to serve the purposes of the many. It was denounced as an artificial Institution which served no useful end to the com- munity at large. But the automobile was cruelly mis- judged. Its true function is now apparent. Daily it can be seen gliding along the streets of vur fair city, slightly velled by a flying mass of dead tats, baseball bats, and stones, but still an ideal and at- tractive target for all who care to test their aim. Daily can be seen happy crowds of men and boys . Shouting aloud in exultation as they compete in marks- manship at passing autos, Daily the excitement grows with the closeness of the contest: The expert sharpshooters have tied; each has mashed his auto lamp, each has stunned his chauffeur, , #tach has wrecked his machine, and the prize is still to be awarded. But hold! Here comes an Incomparable opportunity to test the deftness of the skilled contestants. So far {mere men and machines have been the objects of their careful aim. But now in this approaching auto sits a emore tempting target—no less than a woman, and a lady at that! See the rival marksmen, quivering with the excite- *ment of the sport, select their most effective ammuni- tion! See them, with clinched teeth and flashing eyes, snerve themselves for the supreme struggle! See them simultaneously let fly their well-aimed missiles! Ah! “All have come close, but one is closer yet! He has scored a perfect bull’s-eye: his stone has flown straight and true to the very centre of the temple. Victory ‘with all its honors sits on his beaming brow! Such is our latest and our noblest sport. And when we think of the hundrgds of quick eyes, of strong and supple muscles, of decisive judgments that it develops, “we realize what a precious pastime it really is. And yet swithout autos it would be impossible. Yes, decidedly automobiles have now demonstrated “their general utility THE STREET LITTER, The offense of the subway contractors In delaying to “remove the street litter of tools, timbers and disused materia] has the less excuse because of the promise on on a m One Hundred and Fourth street. Except for a few un- finished sections of the route it was feasible to do then what !s asked for now after the lapse of a year of neglect. This neglect has been synonymous with a contempt by contractors for the public's convenience and comfort which {s not of recent origin, There were Naughtons before McDonald. The history of Forty-second street ‘for ten years is one of continuous tearing up, to the detriment of business and of traffic. On Elm street, in Park Row and on nearly every main thoroughfare these tonditions of disturbance have been paralleled and duplicated. ‘Their tolerance fn the past and now Is not creditable to the authorities.

Among the Yao Midos, one of the many Burmese-Tartar’ people, the ycung men won their wives absolutely without words, but to the sound of music. On the first day of win- ter they have a great feast, at which all the marriageabl girls gather and listen to the music made by the bachelors, j who sit under tho “desire tree,” each playing his favorite instrument. As the maiden he loves passes him the youth plays louder and more feelingly. If the girl ignores him and passes on he knows she will have none of him; if she steps , heart to this pretty girl. A strange story connected with her past served Increase rather than to dampen his adoration. Kitty had been stolen tn childhood, 80 she always believed, by gypsies. Hee first memories, least, were of the gypsy camp. Yet she was no gypsy either in appearance nor temperament. She had been unable to adapt herself to the free and unwashed Ife of the tents and had run away about a year or two before, taking refuge with Mrs, Mason, The latter took her in at first through charity, and inter because sho as well as the rest of the family had learned to love the Httle beauty, who was so full of life and spirit. Something about Tom—perhaps the ruddy hue of his hair, perhaps because of the same gayety of spirit as was manifest in herself—had struck a kind- red note In Kitty's heart and she was only too willing to recelve his boyish attentions. “How about {t?" he asked, her. “Aren't you going to offer any prize for us, too, or aren't you at least go- ing to bet something on my dog?” Before Kitty could reply Mrs. Mason raised her finger to her lips for silence. Through the quiet afternoon air came clear, distinct. and bird-like from the adjacent woods the notes of a woman's voice, Distant as waa the singer the words were distinctly audible to the quartet on the veranda: “No wild horse will leave the prairie ‘or a harness of silvery stars, Nor an eagle the crags of mountain For a cago with golden bars; “Nor the Gypsy girl the forest Or the meadows, though gray cold, For garments made of satin Or necklaces of gold." “Oh ried Kitty with a shudder, “that ts a gypsy volce, I didn't know there were any ‘osies In this part of the country now.” and “Hello,” rejoined Tommy, “a gypsy encampment.
