"ThujisTr is on tho increase," caid an offi
cer, 4-aul there is but little fairness shown ia
fights nowada3-s. I don't know exactly to
what to attribute it, but it is a fact that in
ninety-nino cases out of a hundred where
arrests aro made Ly the police the complain
ant or the man who gets the worst of it de -dares
that the other fellow took him unaware.
'Vhen I was a boy if gik person had anything
against another ho went up to him and
Vussod hirn and dared him to take off his
coat and have a square rough and tumble
fight. Then the bystanders would form a
ring and by preventing anybody from inter
fering would see that tho best man would win.
"But it is different now. If a man ha3
a'rything in the way of a score to settlo with
yon ho walks up alongside of you and hits
you on the jugular vein or over tho eye witb
his Cst. a sandbag or a pair of brass knuckles

every day and night with cut heads and faces
and say they were knocked out without provo

ing certainly argues to me that we are.
Saloon keepers and their bartenders do a good
deal of this one 6ided slugging. They usually
have a billy or a soda water bottle handy, and
when a man comes in drunk without money
and makes himself disagreeable, they crack
away at his head, knock him down and drag
him out to the sidewalk. A bartender sai 1
to me last night: 'I take no chances. If a
man comes in here and gets to monkeying or
makes a nuisance of himself I am not going
out from behind the bar to put him out and
run tho risk of getting done up. I take a
bottle and hit him once, and then I have no
trouble getting rid of him.' " Kansas City

AGAINST THE WORLD.
THE ANGLO-SAXON RACE AND ITS
GREAT ACHIEVEMENTS.
It IT as Contrlbnted More Toward Arrom
pliHlilnj; thn K-Hiilt of Modem ( iilli
zution Hutu All the Other Ituces Why
Thin Is True.
Tho Anglo-Saxon race, with its co-ojx ra
tivo Celtic branches, may be pardoned for
lieing a little .svlfeoinplueent and egotistical.
Jt i.s younger in its i-ar-er thun any other r.u
eau race, und during many ccnturij it,
lacked tho territorial advantages possessed by
its rivals, und it still lacks their advantage:
in iwiulnUoii. Yet it has accomplished more
in the ihi f exploits that go to inako up na
tional prei'.tness, mid contributed iii-.av to tho
achievements of modern civilization than all
tho other races combined. It has given a uni
form langncgo to more than Un),tHX,Wf ol
jieople, a language enriched by a literature
which, upon the whole, from Chuu.'er to Her
bert Kpcncer, in science, philosophy, history,
law, poetry, romance uad criticism, rivals, it
it does not surpass, the litoruturo of nil tlio
other modern nations of Continental Kurope.
This declaration may cause an Italian, a
Frenchman, a German, or a dweller urwm tho
l'.ierian peninsula to stiiud aghast; but v.o
know tho literature of those people better
than they know Anglo-Saxon literature. It
has contributed nenriy all the important in
ventions that udl to tho comfort and con
venience of modern society. Obliterate the
effects of its mechanical and soieutiiic de
vices from tho faco of modern civilfcation,
and tho world would seein to fall into almost
medkeval simplicity in a single day. Een
tho art of printing, a Chinese art originally,
but credited to continental Eurcx as its
almost solitary great contribution to the in
ventive arts that havo influenced modern
civilization favorably, owes its chief utility
to tho devices of Anglo-Saxons.
AGAINST TIJE WORLD.
Finally, tho Anglo-Saxon countries count
their wealth in comparison with tho com
bined wealth of all oilier countries that are
intelligent enough to count statistically, and
if tho balance le not in their favor tho
estimate will be so nearly equal that it would
bo hard to tell to which t-ido the preponder
ance inclines. In almost everything that
s) teaks of achievement fiavo tho musical and
ilno arts, it is tho Anglo-Saxon race against
i ho world, and in most practical thing3 it is
tho Anglo-Saxon race clone, and thero is do
eonqetitor. Why is this true?
If wo trace the growth of Anglo-Saxon
civilization we find tho answer to this ques
tion. The race advances mora rapidly than
other races, because it makes uso of bettf-r
agencies for promoting tho interests of so
ciety than it3 rivals and cultivates a more
stolid spirit of self dependence. From the
reign of tho earlier English kings down to
tlio American revolution, and following
through all the earlier and later years of our
own republic, there has been n jiersistent
and an almost intermittent contest in favor
of personal independence and the right to in
augurate, carry forward and control per
sonal affairs without let or hindranco from
superior authority. Tho traits implied in
this contest have not found their most ade
quate expression in England. Tho emanci
pation of Englishmen, struggling to obtain a
firm foothold among the continually crum
bling debris cf feudal institutions, has leen a
slow process. But it has been continuous,
and in all Anglo-Saxon communities tho in
dividual and society havo long been tho first
objects, of consideration, tho government
being held only as their dependent and ser
vant. The former lead, and the latter,
through its official representatives, whether
hereditary or chosen, is only expected to
follow and sustain. William Nelson Black

A Phenomenal Wnistler.
" A "lady whistler"' is one of the many prod
ucts of a deplorable craze, but her domain is
now invaded by a phenomenal creature, who
will probably eclipse this bright particular
star of the musical firmament. The new comer
is described as Signor Cesar Garcy Cambia,
an ex-ofiiecr of tho Spanish army, and will
shortly commence a professional concert tour.
This gentleman, in the sight cf the audience,

after puncturing it with four holes produces
therewith (to quote the words of a writer in a
weekly journal) "all the melody one is accus
tomed to hear extracted from a flu to itself,

Tlio EnglJsH Postal Telegraph.
The gross returns from tho English postal
telegraph system last year were, in American
money, $9,H74,2GO, which was $1,657, 770 less
than tho expenditures, but the government
paid ?l,0o0,065 interest cn the telegraph in
debtedness, and franked for its own service
messages amounting to 8134,ltv, and lost
about 1.000,000 from the press and other
sources where exceptionally low rates were
made and contracts entered into. It is seen,
therefore, that the English postal telegraph
system, exclusive of the interest on tho bonds
created to pay for the lines, is a very paying
investment. London Cor. Ohio State Jour

How Absinthe is Tal:en.
Tho French absinthe drinker takes a goblet
u!l of cold water not necessarily iced,
though preferably so and adds to it, drop by
drop, just enough of tho liquor to give it a
very light green tinge. Wherever the light
strikes the mixture the most lovely opaline
huc are seen, and there is no sight so lovely
to tho eye of tho confirmed absinthe drinker.
A siiof tho fluid leaves in the mouth the
most delightful after taste, much like ani
sette, only wanting in tho Cat taste, which
ould como from diluting that liqueur.
Ther is, too, en added flavor, unlike anj--tlungelso
in tho world. So prepared, ab
sintho makes a refreshing and exhilarating
drink, most grateful to the palate, but woe
bo unto him who yields too continuously to
what seems a harmless indulgence. En
joyed too often the peculiar tasto of absinthe
becomes a necessity, and long continued in
dulgence in the minute doses has a constitu
tional effect on the pcrvous system, if possi
ble, mcro horrible and certainly more incu
rable than that of whisky. Paredysis and

HOW "HAND PAINTING" 13 DONE.
l'repuratlon of 1'auey Articles for the
Holiday Trade An Inside View.
One of tho signs that tho artist is abroad in
;ho land is the passion for "hand painted"
things among the Philistines that. the artist
himself is far from sharing. "Hand paint
ed f said ono tho other day to a young woman
who was boasting of a now fan. "That is
reason enough for supposing it is very bail."
And no wonder, when one comes to know
how this "hand painting'' is done nud paid
for (wonder who are tho people who paint
with their feet). An advertisement aj
Ieared in a morning paper tho other day
asking artists who were accustomed to deco
rative work and wanted employment to come
to a certain down town address, where fancy
articles aro being prepared for tho holiday
trade. Tho Observer i.i r.ot a pointer, but ho
went to seo how it fared with those that
were.
Ye gods end litllo fishes ! He saw, if people
can bo supposed to faro at all who paint canLs
for a cent apiece and elaborately decorate
calendars for twenty cents. It is impossible
to see how ixjople can r.ubsLst on their earn
ings at those figures, end probably most of
them only in this way eko out an ineomo de
rived from somo other source. Of course it
is the shoalj of young people with little ac
complishments of this sort, who are living by
other means, that have driven the prices of
this work so terribly low, and this is very
hnrd on tho people who are depending upon
it for a living.
The people who had advertised for painters
seemed a fairlv decent COIlTl. .1 limn mid liio
wifo, and the woman be-au in a deprecating
wciv u.u mo wor,ervcr asKctt about tho work
by saying tho prices were not very large.
Sho told afterward how the large firm whom
thev worked for had
goods rnust bo still further reduced, and how
her husband had cut down everybody but the
painters. "He didn't aoo how ho could make
ihern work any cheaper." Specimens of tho
work were shown, and some of it was piti

ArtewAfl Ward's Practical Joke.
At ono time a neighbor, Deacon II.. dis
covered a cow in the corn. He arove her out
nnd back to the pasture, hut in a short time
ho again heard the tiukling of her bell in tho
corn field. The good deacon proceeded to the
.ice and rapidly folV.v.-cd the sound of tho
bell, but it Roeiuc'.l that tLo cow intended to
remain this time in spito of the old man's ef
i oris to get her out. Up ono row and down
another the deacon ran, but could not over
take tho frisky animal. Nearly breathless
with his exertions, ho stopped and, wiping
the perspiration from his face, exclaimed:
"jly Gum, that critter'l! spile this hull

Brooklyn Eeglo.
Tricks In New York Barroom.
"Some of tho saloon tricks ore very inge
nious end amusing," said a Broadway bar
tender. "Most iieoplo practice them merely
for the fun of the thing, but not a few exer
cise their ingenuity for tho sake of winning
bets. A man came in here the other night
and had somo whisky. He drained the glass
containing the water and turned it upside
down on tho counter. A few dropo of water
remained in the glass. Tho man offered to
bet any one a V that he couldn't guess the
number of drops left in tho glass. Several
Lystanders, who thought they could count
the drcps, backed their opinions. The man
covered all the bets. The guesses were all
t!ie way from three to eight drops. V hen
tho money was all up the man took the gloss
and walked over to one of the mirrors. With
a quick, nervxu3 movement, that mode the
wator scatter, he threw tho contents of the
glass against tho mirror. The men who
made the guesses gazed with astonishment
and disgust, for thero on the surface of the
mirror were at least 200 distinct drops of
water.
"I was once taken in myself by one of
these tricks. A green looking fellow bought
a cigar and asked for a light. He pretended
to bo used to tho wooden lighters, and
laughed at me when I pointed to the spirit
lamp and the wire stoppers. 'Never mind,'
said he. 'Ill light it with this,' and he
pulled out a crisp 30 note.
"I never like to bo bluffed, so dared him to
do it. 'I'll bet you a bottle f wine,' bm re
plied. 'Do you hear me speak T
" Yes,' said I, 'it's a go.'
"I don't know how he rolled that bill, bnt
ho lit bi3 cigar without burning more than a
sixteenth of an inch off the ono end.
