THE MARKET FOR FREAKS.
A Collection of Living Curios In th
Metropolis I It Profitable?
Hie Bowery Is a great levclor.
Tho Chinese giant is of no more importance
than the won urn who baa not spoken a word
nince tbo duj sho was weauixl. To Lo sure,
Uio latter la a good deal of a rarity, but until
the bediainonod and olouginous dime museum
dealer apMars and the freak signs bis or ber
contract for tbo next season, all aro oi an
equality.
Tho managers flock hero In droves during
"July. They come from Oshkosh, New Jer
sey, Buffalo, Boston and other places where
culture sits on a jedestal. They are on the
alert for novelties. They want to get thorn
cheap. Tho important freaks aro engaged
first. A few staple freaks are engaged for
tho season, and luzy boys, fat women, giants,
Brooklyn bridge jumpers, tho men without a
tongue and other stars aro feigned to appear
at intervals.
How are theyt Is It profitable to be a
freak f
Fat men and women are paid according to
their weight. Tho average pay is about $30
Ier week. Very heavy men or women get as
high as $50. Beginners receive from $20 to
$2o, and aro advanced as they become huav
ier. Circassian girls are not profitable. It
doesn't really pay to be a Circassian girl now.
The market u flat at $20 to $25 per week.
Tattooed men come a littlo higher. Tboy can
be obtained for $15 por woek, but the genuine
article readily brings $40 per woek.
"It don't pay to do tattoo now," said one of
these gentry. "A man's got to bo way up in
tho act or he'll be crowded out. I think I'll
try tho India rubber act or tho pie eat in'
racket. I can get $100 a week for eatin'
twenty pies a day. It's great, pard."
India rubber men come high. Tboy are
not numerous. Tboy are always good draw
ing card It isn't every one who can bo a
rubber man. It is bard work, and is a great
strain on the beginner. Still, it is proiitable.
Experts receive $100 per week. Hairy boys
from Burmah are also in demand. They re
ceive $100 per week. Men who can eat
glass ore not rare nowadays, and it
really doesn't pay to go into tho busidess.
First class glass eaters get only $20 per week.
It's a great strain on a man to eat glass.
Bword swallowing is more profitable A
woman who can eat sword after sword until
she is gorged gets $40 per week and is in
great contrast to Chicago girls with big feet
Years ago such women were rare, but tho
bull market in tho staple has been flattened
out and they can bo had now for $12 weekly.
Tho supply of bridge jumpers exceeds the de
mand and can be had at $1 a day. Fire
eaters are paid $20 weekly. Snako charmers
get as high as $00. Tho man with tho iron
jaw is very numerous. Ho is quoted at $10
to $15 weekly.
It may seem strange that dime museums
can pay the salaries quoted above, but when
it is. considered thut they are open from
morning until night tbe wonder is not so
great Most museums have a side show at
tachment in the form of a prestldigitateur or
Punch and Judy. The salaries paid magi
cians vary according to their reputation and
ability. Five dollars per day to givo a dozen
or more performances is considered a good
price for museum exhibitions. Threo dollars
per day for a Punch and Judy show exhibi
tion is about tho average salary. Foster
Coates in Globe -Democrat.
Sorghum as a So par Producer.
Professor Wiley discussed the sorghum
plant as a sugar producer. Ho generalized
from data collected from all parts of the
world during thirty j-ears and concluded that
the cane was not rich enough in sugar to
guarantee profitable production for the fail
iires wero not owing to bad machinery or bad
manipulation. He also showed that the
average yield per aero was not mora than
eight tons and twenty pounds of sugar to tho
ton. Of course, individual samples or lots
rated much higher, but tbe difficulty was the
remarkable instability of the production.
The juice might be rich in sugar in the morn
ing and poor at night, so that while it might
be at a given moment of great value, it was
practically worthless because no one knew
when that moment had arrived, and no on
could secure the crop on tho instant, even if
the time wero determined. The reason is
this i Tho beet stores up the sugar for future
use, that U, to assist tbe growth of tbe plant
In the next year. The southern cane does the
same thing, storing up sugar in the joints
which ore planted for tho new crop. Sor
ghum is raised annually from seed, so that
there is no need for storing sugar for future
use. It is an accidental product, and there
fore nature takes no trouble to secure it. It
Is this physiological difference between tho
tropical cane and tho sorghum cane which
makes the latter an untrustworthy and use
Jess plant for sugar. Until a variety of cano
which is reasonably constant in its percent
age of sugar is obtained, sorghum is of little
value for this purpose. New York Tribune.
How to Keep Young.
It is a good recipe, then, for any one who
wants to keep young not to look young only,
but to be young that he cultivate a fond
ness for games. The more games you know?
the more chance of finding somebody who
tsau play at one of them. Chess Las proved a
boon to thousands. Backgammon has di
verted some of the greatest of minds. Pinocle
has conquered ennui a hundred times. Even
solitaire can sometimes put tho "blue devils"
to flight. A manor woman who can play all
sorts of games, and suggest things for other
people tq play at, is invaluable in company
puad will seldom lack opportunities for amuse
ment and diversion. Ho will always have
something to keep hira from worrying and
worry makes people old faster than anything
else. He will retain Lis interest in life so long
as be remains on this planet. There is noth
ing like a love of games for a preservative. ,
But this love of games itself is based on
something else. At bottom, the principle is
that so long as you can keep up a lively in
terest in things that ore going on around you,
just in that prcport jon you will defy tho be
numbing influences of ago, Jilve in the
present and tho future and you cannot grow

MARK TWAIN'S YOUTH.
HOW HE CAME TO BE A PILOT
ON THE MISSISSIPPI.
A Chat wltlt the Veteran fTnder Whom
Clemens Learned tho Crooks and Shal
lows of tbe Creat Klver First Literary
Work.
Capt nornco Bixby, of tho magnificent
steamer City, of Baton Rouge, is tho most
popular man on southern watej-s. Capt.
Bixby Is a well preserved rello of tho golden
ago of tho rlvor, and has been q constant stu
dent of currents and chutes for forty years.
Horace Bixby i the man who taught Mark
Twain how to steer a fetcamboat, nnd tho suc
cess of his whilom cub has reflected consider
able glory on the tutor. That was away
back in the 'COs, when Bixby was a pilot, and
after nil these years bo is now of tho opinion
tiifit a pilot is a bigger man than a captain
any day, and especially on a dark night iu n
tight place. Cupt. Bixby is now 01 years of
age, and ho says: "I am just nino and n half
years older that Sam Clemens." "When in
a reminiscent mood tho other day bo said:
"It was quite remarkable bow Sam Clem
ens hapiened to becomo a pilot. Ho has
written a great deal alxmt it himself, but I
don't believe bo ever told it all. It was in the
spring of '57. I was then running regularly
letween St. Liouis and New Orleans ami oc
casionally doing an outside job on tho Ohio
river from Cincinnati to New Orleans. It
wua oh one of theso outside ti i3 that I first
met Clemens. I was taking tho I'uul Jones
down from Cincinnati, and ho was a passen
ger on board. In thone times tho pilot house
was a. great loafing place for passengers und
pilots out of work. They camo in, spit all
over tho wheel, swapped lies, and then left
tho pilot on duty to slosh around in tho
debris. I didn't like it a bit, and I was
mighty short with all passengers who at
tempteiLto talk with me. Ono morning when
the brat reached Island No. 35 in tho Mis
sissippi river, und we wero booming along at
a good gait, a young man walked into the
pilot house, and after watching me for a fow
minutes, said 'G-o-o-d m-o-r-n-i-n-g,' in a
drawing manner."
"I said 'good morning' mighty sharp,
thinking it would freczo him out. But it
didn't. Ho said:
" 'D-o-u-'t y-o-u w-a-n-t a b-o-y t-o 1-e-a-r-n
t-h-e r-I-v-c-r?
" 'No; don't want any boy to learn tho
river. "What are you pulling your words
that way for?1
" 'I d-o n-'t k-n-o-w, y-o-u w-i-1-1 h-a-v -
t-o a-s-k m-y m-o-t-h-e-r. S-h-o d-o-o-s t ..-c
s-a-m-o t-h-i-n-g.'
"I thought ho was dialling me when ho
saiilt".: '' . i - ;.. f.,,. . wag
just as mjoci i.o . .. . .vsked
me if I knew the Bowtuu who wero on tho
river. I told him that I did end worked
with one of them in 1853. He told mo that
the Bowcns lived next "door to his father,
Judge Clemens, of Hannibal, Mo. In his
drawling way he told me of his plans. Ho
had learned printing at Hannibal on his
brother's paper, but it did not agree with
him, nnd be was going to South America for
bis health. lie liked the river, however, and
would abandon his projected invasion of
South America for an opportunity to become
a pilot.
'There Is only one thing that would in
duce mo to teach you tho rivor,' said L
" 'TY-h-a-t-'s t-h-a-ti" ho esked.
u 'Money,' said L
" 'Mone-yP he echoed. .
u 'That's just it,' I answered.
" 'H-o-w m-u-c-h? he gasped.
" 'Five hundred dollars,' I said.
u We ll, I ai n't go-t that mu-ch,' said he.
" 'Then you better get it if you want to
learn the river,' I replied.
" 'I've go-t e-i-g-h-t 1-o-t-s up in K-e-o-k-u-k.

Teu-ness-eo that I can get twenty-five cents
an acre for,' said ho summing up his assets.
Wo tailed for somo time and ho impressed
n:o very favorably. It was finally agreed
that he was to pay me 100 down and $75
every six months until tho debt was paid.
I told bun that he would have to provide
his own clothes and board whilo in port.
On tho river ho would receive his board
and lodging free. He started in as a cub
on the Aleck Scott and ho learned rapidly.
Ho was then just past 21, and rather eccen
tric. He always had writing paper nnd
pencil around tho pilot house, and was
eternally scribbling away at something.
seldom ever tried to investigate tho
mysteries of his manuscript, but I soon
turned his talent to good account. Iu
those duys pilots made out reports of tho con
dition of the channel, und Clemens at once
developed into a brilliant and picturesque
river reporter. His reports wero humorous
and contained all the informnt jpn. and were
frequently copied into the papers just as he
wrote them. This, I think, was the first nub-
lic writing that bo did, except, perhaps, somo
squibs for the Hannibal paper. Ho was a
good boy, not addicted to dissipation, and
obeyed orders. Ho hated suspenders, and
used to enjoy himself in very loeso clothes,
with bis hair reached back. Wo steered to
gether on many trips, and thon ho changed
around and in two years received a license
that made him a full fledged pilot. His first
boat was tho Alonzo Child, under Capt. Do
Haven, and he kept turning the heel until
the war broke out. His boat was then in tho
south, and ho piloted thrre months for the
Confederacy. Then ho got through tho lines
and went home, but af tar a short stay at
Hannibal ho went as a volunteer for threo
months in tho army of Gen. Sterling Prioe,
tho Missouri Confederate. He fought for tho
Confederacy three more months on land and
then retreated in good order, with his right
resting on St. Louis. His brother, OiTin
Clemens, was at that time nominated secre
tary of tho territory of Nevada, and Sam ac
companied him west, Everybody know-s the
rest,"

Capt. Bixby down tho river, and the old sto
jies and glories were revived. Tho result of
the trip was the book "Old Times on the
Mississippi." St. Louis Cor. Chicago Tribune.

TU Cosmopolitan,
DISEASE IN THE MILK.
INVESTIGATION INTO THE HEALTH
FULNESS OF DAIRY PRODUCTS.
Scientist Have Discovered That There
1 Danger in tbe Milk Can Contagion
at the Dairy Alarming Aspect of tlta
Question.
Tho subject of purity and healthfulness of
milk and its products has received much at
tention from medical und sanitary authorities
during tbe past year, and somo very remark
able results of investigations nro now being
made public. A lecture on tho etiology of
scarlet fever wus recently delivered by Dr.
E. Klein, F.C. S., leforo tho Hoyal institu
tion in London. Tho principal theme of tho
pnper was tho relntion of scurlet fevor to
milk supply. Tho possibility of tho dissemina
tion, and oven origin, of tho diseuse from this
source was considered at length. Recorded
cases aro quoted to prove its possibility. Tho
lecturer treats it as a certainty that milk has
thus caused tho spread of scarlet fever. Ex
periments by N. Oalthier, a French scientist,
have been published. These wero directed to
tubercular sickness. Dairy produce from
cows affected with tubercular disease was the
subject of the investigations. Professor Oal
thier found that such articles of diet could
communicate phthisis or consumption to
ixmltry and swine, and ctmfcl become thus
directly or indirectly a serious menace to man.
Within tho last few years a number of out
breaks of disease have been traced with great
certainty to dairies as the center of contagion.
So well proved have theso cases seemed, that
they have originated special popular names
for tho sicknesses thus occasioned. Thus
milk typhoid, milk scarlatina, and milk diph
theria have come to bo recognized. In a
number of accurately recorded cases, an out
break of some specific disease has been noted.
Tho general history in ull was identical. The
spread was limited to a certain number of
families. Tho medical officers found that all
the families thus uffectel wero supplied with
milk from tho same dealer. Then, on exam
ining tho stables or dairy whence the milk
camo, the sourco of contagion was manifest.
A caso of scarlet fever would bo found in tho
family or among tho employes, or somo of tho
residents possibly had diphtheria. In a num
ber of instances such conditions wero estab
lished. At tho present timo tho English
health authorities consider theso cases proved.
They form tho basis for a somewhat disquiet
ing suspicion affecting our milk supply.
But there is a moro alarming aspect of the
question. Tho result of some of tho more re
cent observations is that cows mav them
selves bocorae infected with a sickness re
sembling scarlet fever, and that such cows
u-.ry, by their milk, causo tho true scarlet
fever to bo developed in human beings.
This coudusion has been led to by an ex
amination of data in recorded cases. In somo
instances where the origin of tho sickness
was traced to milk, and where also a scarlet
fever case had existed in somo person con
nected with tho dairy, too long a peiiod
elapsed before tho breaking out of tho epi
demic to allow it to bo attributed to disect
conveyance by the milk. Another class of
cases is cited in which a human origin, proxi
mate or ultimate, could in no way be traced.
In one such instance an outbreak of scarlet
fever was associated with a cei-tain dairy.
Np human being could iu any way bo fixed
upon as tho originator. Even tho sanitary-
conditions wero examined, with negative re
sults. 1 ho diseoso was finally attributed to
certain cows. Examination of them showed
the presence of diseaso, whoso symptoms in
cluded sores upon tho body, ulcerations and a
visceral complaint resembling that occurring
in scarlet fever in tho human being. Tho
outbreak had, from other data, been limited
to theso cows as a source. Their disease so
similar to tho human scarlet fever made it
almost a certainty that they were tho origin
of tho trouble.
Tho examination by bacterial analysis was
enteivd into and confirmed these suspicions.
Tho .ano micrococcus was found in tho blood
of scr.rlet fever patients and in the affected
cows. Tho action of the human microbo on
animals was identical with that of the vac
cino one. This investigation, a full outline of
which it i3 needless to give, clinched the
proof. Succeeding occurrences investigated
in the same general way gave identical re
sults. It may be considered as clearly proved that
railk can be a serious source of danger to
hcahh or life. Tho remedy is a simple one.
By heat tho micrococci aro destroyed. If tho
milk is heated to 1S3 dug. F., it will bo ren
dered safe. Any infectious microbes present
will bo killed. But while this disposes of the
milk is does not touch tho disposal of milk
products. Butter, cream and cheese aro all
uncocked. Butter represents raw fat, or un
cooked oleaginous matter. It cannot - bo
heated to n high decree without injury. Ono
of tho methods of freeing it from casein was
to melt it, but the process was found to cause
deterioration. Butter must be uncooked.
Scientific American.
Belief of tbo MetlcKabtla Indians.
Tbo wild Indians of tho northwest had
6ome beliefs that paved the way for tho re
ception of Christianity. In their legends they
mado frequent montion of tho "Son of God,"
and ho was always spoken of as a benefactor.
They had also many remarkable legends
about Satan, and his name in their language
means "Tho Father of Liars." They believed
him to bo an avaricious being, always prowl
ing around seeking something to satisfy his
appetite, and full of deceit.
They had a firm belief in a future existence.
Tho Indian word for "death" does not convey
the samo idea as it does in English. It is tho
equivalent of "separated," or parted into two,
as a rope that has been broken by being sub
jected to too much strain. They said of an
Indian who had just died that ho "had
parted," "had separated." They had a tradi
tion," also, that earth and heaven wero in
closo prcnimity to each other, so that every
thing that was said in heaven could be heard
upon tho earth, and all the noises of tho earth,
wero distinctly heard irreaven, Finally the
children of men on earth became so turbulent
and caused such a racket that the chief in
heaven could not sleep, and so he just took
tho earth and pitched it as far as it now is
from heaven. Z. L, White in American
Magazine.

ELECTRIC STREET MOTORS.
A Style of Travel That is Puithlni; Its Way
In This Country Three Systems.
There is good reason to think that tho elec-
, trie motor id making much more rapid pro-
press in tho United States on 6treet railways
I than tho cable system. In Richmond, Vn.,
a well known company is equipping twelve
t miles of road on which forty cars are to bo
run. 1 no same company is equipping roads
also at St. Louis, Boston, Woonsocket, Balti
more, St. Joseph and various other toints.
! At Pittsburg three roads are under construc
tion. Binghumton is to have a road four and
a half miles long, operating eight motor cars.
I At San Diego a road is being constructed
, nine miles long, over which four forty horse
' lower motor cars aro to furnish tho traction.
I But theso aro only a few of. the moro prc mi
j nent enterprises. Not less than fifty-live or
j sixty roads aro cither under construction or
I projected in the United States, and the move
j ftient is continually extending. What will
j prove ono of tho heaviest industries in tho
country is apparently springing up ns a con
sequence of tho introduction of electricity us
a railway motor.
There are threo different systems of trans
mission in uso tho first on overhead wires
and the second over wires placed in conduits,
while the third is operated by means of ac
cumulators or storago batteries. As usual in
this country in the introduction of now in
ventions, tho system which is least expensive
and complicated will bo first in securing j os
session of tho field. This is known as tho
overhead system. A hard drawn copper wire
of small size but great tensile strength is sus
pended about eighteen feet above tho tracks,
where it is supported either by bracketed
losts set in tho curb or by special supports on
latoral wires which cross tho street from faido
to sido. In distributing the current the rails
lire generally grounded, and form ono sido of
tho circuit, but iu caso tho connections be
tween tho rails is not good they are re-enforced
by a continuous conductor. A trolley,
which is connected with tho motor by a sus
pended conductor, runs along tho overhead
wire, nnd makes the desired connection with
tho engine. In somo sj'stems tho motor is
placed under the cur in such manner that no
space is lost and no detached motor needed ;
but in othor devices tho motor is detached
and resembles h. steam locomotive in it
methods of operation.
Tho conduit system, tho system which it is
proposed to apply on tho Fulton street rond
in New York city, is hurdly to bo called moro
complicated than tho overhead system, but
the first cost will bo necessarily somewhat
greater. It seems also that greater difficulty
will bo experienced in meeting the obstruc
tions caused by wintry weather. But this Is
an obstacle to bo met and overcome by tho
resources of invention. For large cities and
in crowded streets it must bo found moro
availahio than the overhead system, with ita
apparently greater liability to accident.
It is hoped by electricians that tbo system
of storage batteries, or accumulators, carried
on tho cars and securelj' packed away under
the seats, may eventually bo utih'.-d to an
extent that will render any outside iiu-c'ian-
lsin unnecessary. This seems to ho tho ideal
system, but it does not yet appear to bo suffi
ciently perfected to enable electricians to dis
pense with tho use of conductors along tho
tracks. New York Sun.
"What a Street Car Driver Says.
It makes a mighty sight of difference with
a fellow to know his horses. By always driv
ing tho same team tho horses get so that they
know what you aro doing. Some men cannot
drive a team on the road at all unless tliey
have a pole between the horses, and a polo is
an awful nuisance in street car driving, es
pecially in cases of threatened accident. I:i tho
seven years that I have been driving I have
had many narrow escapes by being able to
turn tho horses quickly to ouo sido or tho
other. You can't do Ihfit with a polo. I have
never had anything to happen to mo beyond
the smashing of a window. That 'laj peiied
onco in front of tho Astor house, where a
truckman was backing out with a load. Tho
worst trouble wo have is with the women vho
go out into tho middle of the street and dcxle
back and forth. If they would stand still wo
would know just what to do with our car nnd
our borocs, but they mako a dash across the
street, then jump back, and then dash for
ward, and then inako another dash back, s.o
that iu tho uncertainty of what they aro go
ing to do it is a wonder that w o do not run
over a woman every day.
The general average of street car drivers
have their wits so much about them that if a
jxirson who happens to get in front of a car
will only stand still there is not the slightest
danger of his being run over. Most of tho
ruen in New York have come to understand
this, and yc rarely hear of an accident in
which a man is ruu over by a street car.
How many people do wo take up end down
on the route Well, that depends on the
hour of our trip. On this trip, on which I
started at 10 o'clock, we will probably have
eighty fares going down to tho Buttery.
Later in the day c ming up we have as high
as 120, and from that on up to 180. Of course,
the more passengers wo take on the harder it
is to make our trip on time and the moro
work it is for the drivers. New York Trib

Couldn't Kead Ills Own Handwriting.
During the war a quantity of personal
property belonging to a resident of 'Washing
ton was seized and confiscated by the United
States. For years the original owner made
repeated attempts to secure an order for its
restoration from tho quartermaster who hud
charge of it. But he was obdurate, and in
sisted that it should bo restored only through,
au act of congress. Still the attorney for tho
plaintiff persisted, aud aj;ain ho wrote to
Quartermaster General Meigs for on order of
restoration. This was about tho seventh at
tempt, aud tho officer had grown impatient.
He wrote an exceedingly vigorous reply, ia
which ho emphatically refused to do as re
quested. The handwriting was frightful.
The attorney saw bis chance. He hastened
to us client, and thrusting the letter to him,
said, "I have succeeded at last. Here Is the
order." The "order" was taken to the corral,
where the officer in chargo recognized the
signature and at once turned over the prop
erty. When Gen. Meigs asked what had bo
come of it he was told that it had been re
stored on bis order. Ho saw tho order, and as
he could not read it, ho simply said: "I do
