A Gastronomic Feat Said to Tto Un- equaled Scenes at tho Final Feast. j Bow a Tracer of Sl.OOO Was Won. : Emoagh. ' John a Mann ato his thirtioth quail in thirty consecutive days tho other evening, at cx-Alderniaa Jonas restaurant, and his backer, George R. Clark, wins $1,000 from Alderman HildroMi. A little over a month ago Alderman Ilildrpth offered to put up $ 1,000 as a wager that Mann could not eat thirty quails in thirty days, ono each day, a quail to bo oaten betwoeii tho hours of 6 and 7 o'clock in the evening. Tho money Tvas covered, and the contest of J. C. Mann vs. his stomach commenced on tho evening of Dec. 2. He at once put himself under the care of Drs, Bryden, of Chicago, and Mit chell, of Minneapolis, and acting according to their .-vice has lived for tho month on a diet of oatmeal for breakfast and light cold meats for dinner, winding up with his quail supper each evening. He got along very well until he reached his twenty-ninth quail on the evening of Dec. 31. On this oc casion he got through with his grand supper only after a hard strugglo, and it was ex pected that ho would fail in the attempt to consume his thirtieth. This belief was strengthened by tho fact that Charley Mil ler, a rugged eater belonging to the Jonas restaurant, had but a few days previously failed on his twenty-ninth attempt at tho same fea. Henco there was a large crowd of spectators at tho place tho last ovening jrhon young Mann, aroorapanied by Dr. C. Mahouey, tho referoa in tho contest, altered and took his syit at ono of the tables. AT IT AQA.TS. Immediately as tho hands of the clock printed to 6, the thirtieth quail, which had been excellently broiled and placed on a pyramid of toast, was set before Mann. The accompaniments wore Bait, celery, bread, butter, Saratoga chips, etc He brought with him a bottlo of Waukesn water, of which ho at first took half a glass, and then commenced eating bread and butter; after consuming half a slice of bread he reached for the quail with an air of a hungry man, and brought it to bis plate. Cutting off a good sired mouthful he masticated it thor oughly, and with apparent relish, along with a liberal supply of Saratoga chips well salted. This performance was reimted three times. Then Mann resorted to bread and butter, and finished his first glass of Wauke sha. He next turned his attention to the eelcry and ato two stems, using salt freely, oud following with three more "bites" of quail. Then ho poured out another glass of Waukesha, which emptied his bottle, ate some over saltod Saratoga chips, another stem of celery, another mouthful of bread, with an extra supply of butter, and then commenced on the last half of the decisive half. At this juncture Mann was just a little nervous and looked up at tho clock with wistful solicitude. But nice minutes of bis time had expired. Mr. Mahoney, who was by his side, handed over a cup of coffee which had lecn furnished him, and this seemed to encourage Mann's languishing ap itetitc. But opposite him sat George C. Clark, a most interested onlooker, who had $1,000 on the six mouthfuls of quail that yet remained to be eaten. Tho crowd gathered closo about tho tired eater, and for a moment ho nppearod to weaken. Charley Miller, tho defeated man in a similar match, remarked to a friend next to him that ha would not at that moment bet a "V" either way. "Ho may get through, and he may not," said Miller. "It is just at that point that I failed." But young Mann quaffed a portion of his glass of Waukesha and commenced on the remainder of the quail with a steady nerve. He used salt and salted Saratoga chips, and celery and salt, and butter freely, taking a mouthful of tho quail at intervals in such a way that its taste could scarcely reach his palate from the abundance of other edibles which ho consumed. THE LAST WTXG. At 0:15 but ono wing of the quail was left. Tho eater eyed it with considerable nervousness. All tho meat upon it would not liavo constituted half an ordinary mouthful, but it was a port of the agree ment that. nil tho bones should bo stripped completely, and that not a particle of meat should be left on any of them. To accom plish this he had to dispense with knife and fork and resort to his fingers and teeth. An empty plate was provided for tho bones, each of which had to bo deposited thereon and inspected by the referee. Before at tacking the final wing Mann swallowed tho remaining portion of Waukesha, ate a stem of celery, half a slice of bread, and then took up tho wing in his fingers, pulled it apart, and cleaned the meat carefully from the tiny bones with his handsome teeth, but tho task was a difficult one. As ho was struggling with tlie final act a man wearing a silk hat entered the restaurant, pressed bis way up to the table, and commenced a sort of speech with the evident intention of siokening tho eater. Ho referred to tho idea that Maun should now be able to go into tho dissecting business, as he must by that time be thoroughly acquainted with joints and bones, muscles, etc Dr. Mahoney got rather hot, and ordered the newcomer to "shut up," but it was hard to control the Intruder, for he was about three sheets in tbs wind. But Mann was not disturbed. He gulped onco or twice, but by the use of salt and eelcry quieted his stomach. As he tossed the last fiber upon the bono plate, Dr. SCahoney said: "Done; Mr. Clark wins the money," and rising, took the success! ul quail eater by the hand and shook ft heartily. Turning to the reporters he said: "This is the first time that this feat has ever been successfully performed. Men have eaten thirty quails even in a shorter space of time, but tliat is not so difficult. The task of eating ono quail a day for thirty consecutive days, at a stated hour each day, is no easy job. This young man has dono it, and is the first who er reached tho end of the last quail with victory, though many have attempted it." Young Mann is a fine looking fellow of about twenty-two. medium sized, rather fleshy, w-ith u handsome face and pleasant manner. Ho lias for some time been en gaged in tho restaurant business in Louis ville and Minneapolis. The latter city is at present his home. He ate his thirtieth quail in exactly eighteen minutes and thirty sec onds, but evinced a great desire to leave tho restaurant toon after completing his work. It was believed that he would part with liis winning supper before it was half S hour old. At all events, he lias liad all e quail he desires for a lifetime "If you find any man hankering after quail," ho said, as ho bid tho reporter good night, "please tell him that ho may liavo my share from this out."

Merlatti, contrary to expectation, accom plished his extraordinary fasting feat, which commenced fifty days before. There has been some ioubt as to his having completely fulfilled the terms of his engagement, sinco he began to take a little chemically prepared wino at o:Z0 o'clock one afternoon. Unstipu lated time being fi:30. He was also given some pepsum and meat powder, but his stomach rejected them. The wine, however, did him good, and l:o was able to swallow it in repeated cult's and with infinite relish. According to the opinion of come of the doctors he will be unable to cat any s-olid food for twenty-five days to come. ThOMj who flocked to the Grand Hotel recently for the puriwrc of seeing tho Italian take his first installment of nourishment w cro rather disap'iointedat finding, not tho c017.se like form which they expected, butt man Still apparently in health and spirits, although languid in Ixxly and anaemic in feature. Merlatti was propped up on pillows and re clined on a couch, near which were exhibited some of his drawings. A long counter kept the frequent and inquisitive crowds of men and women who thronged to seo him from approaching too near Ids resting place. The comparative healthiness of tho man's ipj,car rya after so long a fast can only be attribut ed tp the fact that the pangs of hunger cro mitigated and intermittent after the first five or six days. Thus, when I first saw Merlatti there was a strong expression of pain on Lis tace, and his eyes were of an unnatural brilliancy. These symptoms were quite con sistent with Lis case, bemuse tho agony of fcuntrer is most acute in the earlier t-tages of fusTcrinsr. fopc then he has been in a state j TffiT'Tcrrrr-'n -r- rr"- mummmmm Wf.ti.W of Iangu6r and exiiauMlon, Varied Oecasifiri1 ally with feverishness, pains in tho head, frenzied dreams and touches of madness. Latterly ha had begun to suffer moro severely in the bead and stomach, but his energy has enabled him to persist in his de termination to the bitter end. Efforts were of course made to make him break bis fast a fortnight ago, yet there is every reason to believe that he has done his best to subsist on nothing during the fifty days but tho filtered water. I left Merlatti this evening at the banquet, over which he presided, in the Grand HoteL Every seat at the tables was full, and nearly one hundred guests, among them being some women and children, were present. The Italian sat among the mem bers of tho medical committee, a lady being on his left. He seemed to regard the rich viands, appetizing sauces and sparkling wines spread out in profusion before him with a half sad, half amused air, but his knifo and fork wcro silent amid the clatter of plates and the popping of champagne. Paris Cor. London Telegraph. LIST OF COLLEGE WAR CRIES. Tho Peculiar Whoop and Shouts Adopted by Different Students. Ono of the college papers has compiled a list and history of college cheers. Accord ing to it the original shouts of tho colleges were a repetition of the name of the college. This gave an advantage to the colleges which had sonorous names, and as the con stant aim of cheering is to make more noise than the other cheerers, new yells wero evolved by a process of evolution. Tbcso came into existence a quarter of a century ago, when Yale and Harvard had their boat races on Lake Quinsigamond, when tho 'Rah! 'Hahl 'Rah! thrice repeated was first heard. Harvard sounded the 'Rahs full, and added "Harvard," pronounced so that the ar and a clipped d were all that were heard. "Yalo" was added to tho New Haven college's 'Rahs with a long howl on tho a. Princeton's cheer was developed soon after, as Princeton came into athletic rela tions with tho other colleges. They took tho three 'Rahs for a basis, and added tho sky rocket siz-booin-ah, which thsy hold on to as long as the nine 'Rahs of their opponents hold out, and then yell "Princeton" as a calliope climax. Dartmouth has one of tho most novel cheers of all. Somo Indian must have invented it, and stout college lungs give it tho right afflatus. It is Wah-hoo-wah! Wah-hoo-wah Diddy. diddy, Dart mouth! Wah-hoo-wah! It is very pictur esque, and only a sophomore can Wah-hoo to tho best advantage. The hoo is lifcn a human owI'b hoot. j Everybody has heard Columbia's Hooray 1 1 Hooray! Hooray! C-o-l-u-m-b-i-a! The j name spells out rythmically. Johns Hop- kins university at Baltimore has taken th ground plan of the cheer and built on it, ai- , ding J-o-h-u-s H-o-p-k-i n-s, instead of C-o ' 1-u-m-b-i-a, Stevens institute at Hoboken and Union college at Schenectady have simi lar cheers. Rutgers has a cheer almost as original as Dartmouth's. It is 'Rah! 'Rah! 'Rah! Bow-wow-wow! Rutgers! Williams- has an entrancing and resonant 'Rah! 'Rah! 'Rah! William! yams! yams! yams! Penn sylvania University has a wild Philadelphia cheer without any special charm. It is the three 'Rahs and Penn-syl-van-i-an! The College of the City of New York cheer bet ter. They say 'Rah three times and add C1C!N!Y! Cornell has a cheer that, onco heard, can not be forgotten. It is liko the rhymo of tho passenjairo. It is given with proper emphasis only in times of excitement. Here it is: Cornell! Cornell! Cor-cor-cor-noll! I yell liko ! Cornell! New York Sun. Banish tho ltailroad Stoves. For the last, forty years, since railrcwul. hae been equipped with heavy cars and run at high rales of pccd, scarcely a 3't-ar has itasscu without tho loss of life from burn ing car wrecks. The method of heating cas s now Is substantially tho same as it was forty years ago. Each car has a slove, end th only improvement yet mado is a better system of securing them moro firmly and putting them in a sort of metal casing. But the bo ginning of the present year has shown again, and with horrible emphasis, that the precau tions against the burning of wrecked cars ore totally inadequate, and that the present system of heating should bo superseded by something radically different. The method employed upon the elevated railroads in this town shows thar a train of cars can bo perfectly heated without the pos sibility of fire in case of accident. That method consists in a pipe furnished with steam from the locomotive, and it serves th wholo train, each car being heated equally from end to end. It is a very simple plan, and it should be adopted upon all railroads. There would be another very great ad vantage in the use of this system. As it ia now, the brakeman tends the stove, and as he has other duties, ho piles on all the coal tho stove will hold and lets it go. The usual result is that when there is any fue at all it is a roarer, enough to roast anything as far away as the sixth row of seats and to give all the passengers headache. But if the en gineer controlled the heating ho would bo able to regulate it with more constant atten tion and more disinterested judgment. By next year there should not bo a single sto in use in a passenger train in this whol" country, and if the present engines are no; big enough to supply tho additional steam required bigger ones should be put in their places. New York Sun. Foiled With a Silver Brick. M. W. Brown, of New Mexico, said to a reporter: "Mining now is not what it used to be. In early days there were incidents without number. When I fir went to Sil ver City, N. M., to open tho mine which I have recently located here, the railroads had not entered that territory, and the stage robber flourished in all his glory. It was not infrequent for them to make good hauls of bricks or dust, both in that and other sections of tho mining country. I had some trouble in that line and finally con cluded that I had tho remedy in my own hands, and put my bullion into a 500 pound brick and sent it to tho Philadelphia mint. Tho stage was attacked, and the robbers got all they could, but when the3 came to my brick they stopped short and remarked: "Well, it looks mighty pretty, but it's, too much for us," and went. I was notified from the mint that they would not again re ceive such a largo brick. I had not antici pated this, and was rather put back, but I wrote to the peoplo at tho mint, explaining tho situation very clearly, and they replied that under those circumstances they would receive 500-pound bricks, but no larger. St Louis Globe-Democrat. Elephants at Sea. The hoisting into the air and lowering elephants into the hold of a ship is not only an unusual sight to most men but also a strango experience to most elephants. They wero lashed with strong ropes, slung as far as practicable in slings, hoisted up with cranes and three-fold tackle and lowered into the steamer's hold like bales of cotton. When in the hold they wcre.placed in pens built of strong teak timber balks, bolted to tho ship's sido to prevent them from breaking loose. Tho fear tho animals suffered was the only pain they underwent, and by watching the eyes cf the poor beasts their terror was very manifest. Tears trickled down their faces and they roared with dread, moro especially when being lowered into tho hold, the bottom of which was sanded for them to stand upon. We are told that one timid female elephant actually fainted and was brought to with a fan and many gallons of water. At sea it appears that tho animals got into a curious habit of occasionally evidently at a precon certed signal setting to work rocking the ship from sido to side by giving themselves simultaneously a swinging motion as they stood athwart the ship, tho vessel rolling heavily oa if in a seaway. Youth's Com panion. Mechanical Traps for the Sticker. A good many people think tliat most of tho gambling houses in Chicago are run "on the square," but Hendrie, tho expert clock and model maker, te33 me that he is often called in by gambling gentlemen to mako some contrivances for their use. Ho says ho has made for certain well known gambling shop proprietors in Chi cago, "hold out" devices for use in poker, as well as "stripper" attachments for faro boxes. Tho roulette wheels, he says, he never heard of being tampered with, proba bly because Re odds against the player are about as three to two, and that gets away with Ids money quite fast enough.

A FEDERAL MAJOR'S SCHEME WHICH PROVED SUCCESSFUL. Baying a Confederate Uniform by Fiee nieal Digging; the Famous Tunnsl In Disguise Slsnnlatlng Sickness A Free but Very Nervous Stan. I doubt if there was among us a captive without some pet theory by which liberty might be regained, and like tho rest I nursed, though silently, a firm determination to escape, well knowing that strategy must bo my main dependence, sinco a wound received during the second year of service rendered mc too lamo to hope for any luck on foot or in tho open. I knew that a complete dis guiso would bo indispensable to my purpose, and that all my haste must bo mado slowly. Persistent dickering and trading here and there when and wherever I could safely do it gradually put mo in possession of the differ ent parts of a gray uniform, and I was meanwhile doing what I could to mako tho wounded leg serviceable to bear me toward freedom. Patient and ofttimes painful tail it took to achieve this end, but, like the rest, I was desperate and counted no effort too great. I paced the room in which I was confined and learned how many times about it made a mile. Then day after day I increased my walk, improving my ability as a 1 .edestrian and earning among my comrades tho reputation of a crank. My health was giving way. To remain much longer meant tliat some morning I should go forth in ono of the rude boxes we daily saw hauled away, we knew not where, in the prison cart. I had also another motive to a man of 23 probably the chief motive. I have nearly doubled my years sinco then, but I can look across my table and see the eyes which draw me out of Libby and smiling back the love which has never grown cold. WATCHING TO ESCAPE. Waiting and watching my chance, I left my beard unshorn for months, determined to look as little as possible like the man who had entered there at midsummer. Jan. 1, 1804, saw the beginning of a great enter prise. Odd as it may seem, out of the 1,2)00 officers at that time confined in Libby but bixtecn, sworn to secrecy, began digging the famous tunnoL to which I must briefly refer, since it bears, though indirectly, upon my own story. The prison consisted of three buildings, separated only by partition walls. On the ground floor of the middle building a hcirthstone was taken tip and access was obtained to the cellar. A few stones were removed from the foundation wall and with knives and tin plates a space just large enough to allow of the passage of a man's body was cut out. The digger filled his coat with earth and then worked bis way back, casting the loose earth down tho sinks as opportunity served. The original intention was by tunneling to reach the sewer, which discharged into the canal at the rear of the prison, and fol lowing it, to escape along the edge of the water. But having accomplished the first portion of this plan tho sewer was found to bo impracticable from being entirely full, and this immense labor had to be repeated in another direction. Another tunnel was therefore run to and beyond a board fence (a distance of sixty feet) which separated the Libby from tho next building. Once beyond the fence one was outside the guard and must take his chance of getting clear of the city. Through this tunnel ono month later 101) prisoners made their escape, fifty-eight of tho poor souls being recaptured. Many liave claimed the credit of this affair, but un doubtedly the real engineer of the famous Libby tunnel was Col. William A. Rons. who when within sight of our lines at Will iamsburg, Va,, was overtaken and returned to Richmond. HASTENING MY SCHEME. The knowledge of what was in process hastened my own plans, for I foresaw tliat the inevitable discovery would cause such vigilance and suspicion as would render any further attempts futile. Early on the morn ing of Jan. 20 I shaved my face entirely clean nnd for want of a better medium dark ened my eyebrows and hair with a mixture of soot and water and yellowed my sin with a decoction of walnut shucks, which fairly hid the Saxon cast I was born to. My gray suit was put on over a pair of blue pants, the gray ones being rolled up to the knees so that my blue army overcoat might cover all except tho lower part of my clothing and so assist the disguise. The call for the sick at 9 a.m. gave me an opportunity to go with a score of others to the ground floor for ad vice and medicine. Simulating weakness I passed the examination and loitered near the door way, hoping to seize a lucky moment for slip ping out, but too many wero about, and, baffled, I returned to my quarters to watch and wait. "Up to a short time previous to this we as officers hod had free access be tween all rooms, but latterly the communi cating doors had been nailed up, and this move, while it curtailed our. freedom, also compelled the guard to go completely out of one building before entering another. Among many foolish pranks a merciful Providence granted us one flower of wis dom. In some moment of inspiration we had sawed one of these doors across the middle, and by placing a shelf on each side over tho crack had produced an innocent appearance of convenience, where was really a means of quick communication. I am thus particular, because in tho end this fact proved to be my salvation. At 3 o'clock occurred the daily roll call, and just previous to it myself and a brother officer, who was rendering me such help as he could, slipped quietly through the half door, exchanging places with two others who were in my secret and prepared for this move. In this middle room free access was permitted by a staircase to the ground floor, where we promptly went; being counted there instead of where wo belonged. All went well. The tally proved correct and tho guard formed into platoon and left the room. Simultaneously I rolled down my gray pants, clapped on a gray cap and throwing back my arms was peeled by my comrade with theatrical rapidity of the over coat which concealed my gray clothing. Ere the door could bo closed I hod followed tho guard and marched oat upon tho sidewalk a free but very nervous man. Maj. John P. Porter in Philadelphia Times. Gravitation In the Moon. An ingenious writer treats of gravitation of the moon in The Popular Science News. If it were possible, ho says, to take a journey to tho moon we should find a very different state of affairs existing. The moon having a much smaller mass than tho earth wiU exert its attractive influence less strongly; and by the exertion of the same strength a man could leap into the air to an astonish ing distance, jumping over the tallest build ings with the same ease that he would clear a low obstruction on the earth. The same effect would bo produced upon all other bodies. Horses would travel at a greatly in creased speed, and if the rider was thrown tho consequences of his fall would bo much less serious; the elephant would become as light footed as a deer; a stone thrown from the hand of a careless boy might fall in an adjoining town before accomplishing its mis sion of destruction; armies would engage in battles at great distances from each other; and nearly every kind of labor would be lightened, from the diminished weight of tools and materials. Boston Transcript. Fisher-Folk Peculiarities. It is not to bo wondered at that these poor, ignorant people, who live on or by the sea all their lives, are imbued with queer notions and superstitions concerning it. They do not acknowledge this readily, arc rather ashamed of it, indeed, and it takes time and familiarity to bring these superstitions to light They appear to endow the sea with sentient power, with an intelligent and gen erally malignant wilL It is ever ready to undo human labor and destroy human hope. Before very rough weather there occasion ally comes a strange calm, a hush like to nothing save tho holding of a breath before a furious outburst of rage. It has a weird effect, coming, as it often does, at nightfall. After this a dull, walling, muffled sound creeps out of the darkness a sound as of lamentation and entreaty heard from afar. "The sea is calling," they say here; and when this happens thofishemen expect a gale before morning. When the sea has got hold of its prey and thero is a boose or houses desolate in tho village, they hold that it mourns, making quite different sound to any other time. About funeral there arc odd observances and ideas. It is unlucky either to meet or to cross a funeral train. Thero are girls in the village who are a sort of professional mourners (though unpaid) for children and young women who die unmarried. They r droned in black, with white hoods, and saawis ofjwntte spun silk on their shoulders. Six of these mourners is tho mystic number, and whenever one ia married another is selected to fill her place Probably it is con sidered a post of honor, for there never seems a vacancy, though I do not know how the selection is made. They arc grave looking damsels, so it may bo by their fitting appear ance At a young man's funeral there are only two of these girls, who walk before and are called "servers." Tho Dissenters havo a custom of singing a sort of dirgo over their dead, not unliko in effect tho chanting of tho monks at a funeral in Rome. But when the sad duties ore dono comes a timo of feast ing. Their pride forbids them to have any thing but "a menseful funeral" Another peculiarity is that when the peoplo ore asked to attend, it is by men and girls named "bidders" (not necessarily relatives of tho deceased). Art Journal. MANUFACTURE OF BOGUS WINES. "Imported" Brands Blade In a New York Basement Distillation of Ralslna. There are several old Frenchmen in New York who havo made almost national repu tations as wino dealers and oxperts. They have about retired from business, but, with the proverbial thrift of their nation, they still find time to tend to their shops a few boors diily. Some of them havo largo restaurants in connection with their whole sale and retail wino trade, and favored cus tomers are often given an opportunity to smack their lips over some rare old w no, whoso label i3 too dust begrimed to bo legi ble, and as they hold tho wine to tho light they become enthusiastic over its color, flavor, and bouquet, and probably order several dozen bottles of it sent to their homes. Now this wino may bo old ond it may bo new. It may havo been imported from France, or perchance it was pressed out on the sunny Italian hills; but it is more than probablo that tho old Frenchman, unless ho knows that his customer has a trained and ' delicate palate, has given him somo wino that is but tho partial product of the vine, and was concocted under the skilled eye of monsieur in the sub-basement of tho very establishment whero it i3 drunk. Why should one find fault? It is surely more com plimentary in a host to give ono the result of his own labor than to furnish one with , that of another. If it is a real wino there is exactly ono chance in 10,000 that it is what the label represents it to be. It may bo tho outcome of a judicious mixture of several indifferent varieties blended into a harmo nious whole, or it may bo an American 1 wino sailing under falso colors. Human ingenuity has never yet boon ablo to make wine without some small jiei-i'ciitage of alcohol, o this element remains as a base for the worst of productions. .Is a rule- tho manufactured wines are offered either as California wines, or as vin ordinaire, or sour claret. They are the distillation of raisins colored with logwood.. The raisins are placed in a vat filled with water ut a temperature of (50 degrees, there bciug fifty five gallons of water to every hundredweight of raisins. Some sugar is often thrown in to hasten fermentation, which usually lasts eight or ten days, at the end of which time the liquid is drawn off and wino is made. It is, of course pale, and it is doctored with some high colored Spanish wine, which is cheap, and then a solution of logwood is added. These wines do not, at the most, contain more tlian 10 per cent, of alcohol, and having but little tannin they will not keep long. When wine is thus produced it will not cost much. Raisins are not expen bive, and a moldy article answers as well as one that is fresh. A noted French chem ist has declared that the raisin wine, if not drugged, is vastly more beautiful than many of the mixtures, most of them dele terious, sold for genuine wino. This may give wino drinkers a spark of encourage ment, for thero is no way of accounting for the consumption of tho enormous raisin pro ducts of Italy, Turkey, Spain and Greece, unless ono admits that they are used to take the place of grapes. New York Commer cial Advertiser. Essentials of a Good Fighter. In answer to tho queston: "What are tho essentials of a thoroughly good fighter?" Sullivan said: "Pluck, skill, endurance and a good head on his shoulders. I toll you, sir, a man fights with his head almost as much as ho does with his fist. He must know where to send his blows so they may do the most good. He must economize his strength and not score a hit just for the sake of scoring it." "What portion of your antagonist's body do you aim at when you are in the ringr" "I endeavor," said Sullivan, "to hit my man above the heart, or under the chin, or behind the ear. A man wears out pretty soon if one can keep hammering away in the region of the heart; a blow under tho chin or behind the oar wfil knock out a man quicker than a hundred blows on the cheek or any other portion of the face. Now, tho Marine has a scar on his left cheek which he received in his light with Dempsey, and which he will carry to his grave. He told me that Dempsey kept hammering away at that spot. If Dempsey were a long-headed fighter he would not have wasted his time and strength in getttlng in there. That fact alone proves to me that he is deficient in generalship." "You can tell pretty well when your man is giving in?" "Certainly I can," said the pugilist. "I watch his eyes and I know at once when tho punishment is beginning to tell on him. And, when I talk to a man before I stand up before him at all, I can make up my mind whether ho is a fighter or not. There is moro intelligence required in this business than outsiders give us credit for." Sacramento (CaL) Bee, HIafs on Bathing. We "tako cold" through tho skin, it should be remembered, as we also breathe through it, throwing off superfluous heat which becomes fever when tho perspiration is suppressed and also sending off waste . products. Persons who have any tendency j to pulmonary disease should make their skins active. A double handful of common salt j thrown into the bathing water after the 1 cleaning process has been performed is a beneficial addition. The saline particles are ' very penetrating, and no amount of rub , bing will remove them from tho skin, upon j which they exert a most useful though a 1 gentle, stimulating influence, especially salu tary in cases of sluggish liver. Not only docs this act locally on the skin, increasing its secretions, but also quickens tho process of nutrition iu all the tissues of the body. Thumbless mittens of ordinary Turkish toweling are as good as tho more costly sponges- for the luxury of the daily "rub bath." A large Turkish towel, wrung out iu cither tepid or cold water will expedite the bathing process; and by all means pro vide a good sized towel for the dry rub afterward, Turkish towels that come tho 6izo of crib sheets are most useful for this, and the luxury of keeping two linen bath sheets in daily uso is known to tho initiated few. After either a cold or a warm plungo bath the immediate covering of the whole body in a largo wrap of linen or tho soft tufted cotton gives the sensation of luxury ' that some people never know. New Orleans Picayune. The Last Year's Ice Palace.

The blocks of which tho palace was j constructed were twenty-two inches by forty four inches by twenty inches, tho latter being j the thickness of the ice. They were marked I out on the surf ace of the ice on the Missis sippi river, and sawed at onco to these dimensions, which wcro unchanged after ward, except where, in round towers, etc., some trimming with axes was required.

I Curious Traits of a Deer Curiosity and Sneaking Propensities. A young western deer hunter, tall, broad shouldered and muscular, just from the forests of Michigan and Wisconsin, was met at the Mansion house, Staten Island, by a reporter and asked for somo particulars about hunting tho deer. "There are nearly as many deer as ever in tho woods of tho northwest," ho said, "aud they are very wild. Shooting them is tho popular sport with us, uud there are many men who mako a living at it. Tho weight of tho deer killed out thero runs from 150 to 300 itouuds. Tho way wo hunt them is this: They havo wliat wo call runways that is, well defined paths leading from their different grazing grounds to a creek or river. We find these runways uud station ourselves iu the woods adjoining. A maa is dotailed to take tho dogs and go a milo or so ahead to start the deer from the feeding ground. The animals at once take to their accustomed runways and are then shot by tho hunters stationed in the woods. It is no easy mat ter to kill a deer heii it is running, for you almost always shoot too high. When u deer is opposite to you if you whistle or mako an unusual sound their great senso of curiosity will frequently cause them to stop and then is tho time to shoot. Tho deer hunting sea son extends from October to December. Not long ago I saw two deer shot with one siiot. Ono was a large buck neighing fully 2."0 pounds, and tho other a doo of probably 175 ' pounds, weight. They wero running side by sido and the hunter was standing only a few rods from the runway." - "Do they fight when wounded?" j "Indeed they do. Let a wounded buck get at yon once anil it is almost certain death. Their hoofs are as sharp as knives, ' and thej' uso them as thefr weapons, jump 1 ing on and striking you with them. I have I known of old and experienced hunters being ' made to climb trees to get out of the way of a wounded buck. You want to seo a deer kill a rattlesnake. A rattlesnake cannot strike until it is coiled up. Tho deer seems to know this and when the snake is fully coiled, ready to strike, tho deer will first go ' round and round the snake, keeping tho snake . whirling around, and suddenly draw its feet together and springing up into tho air with u ljoundcoiiiedov.il with its full w eight upon tho snake, cutting it to pieces." THE "BUCK I'EVEK." "What is tho 'buck fever'?" "It is a sudden trembling and loss of nerve when a deer lirs't comes in range. Every 0110 gets it at first, mid even old hunters get it, shaking and trembling as if they had the ague. Yes, I had it the first timo I went out. Being inexperienced I was placed on tho runway in an out of tho way spot, where the deer was not expected to come. But as luck would have it, the dogs drovo tho ani mal directly to whero I was. It was a large doe and ran up to within fifteen feet of me and stopped and gazed at mc in great curios ity. To say that I was excited does not half tell tho way I felt. I hail my gun iu my hand and raised to my shoulder, but I could not for the life of me pull the trigger." "Have you known women to shoot deer?" "Oh, yes. I remember of one case of a splendid shot. The woman was in her shanty, and hearing a noise outside looked out. There stood a big buck six or seven rods from tho diwr. Sho grasped her husband's riilo aud aiming carefullly killed it at the first shot. She was very proud of her suc cess, I can tell you. Speaking of women, this trait of curiosity iu a deer, ono would say, shows a remarkably feminine character istic. They will risk their lives often to gratify it. I recall that riding through tho woods just !ofore I canio 11 way three largo deer ahead of us stopptHi and gazed at us Uiitil wo wero within twenty feet of them, then would run ahead and again wait for us to catch up. They did this for a long (lis tance. We had no rille or we could easily havo killed them. Why, I've seen them so interested in n gayly dressed lumberman that they would let the man get almost cloe enough to kill them with liis ax; and in the hunter camp ut night, v. lieu tho men are singing mid 'cutting up,' tho deer will often come close up to the shanty to try to get a look in. There is one characteristic about a deer that few peoplo know of that is, their sneaking proiMMisity. Instead of at once boldly taking cover when pursued thoy will crouch down and sneak away. They get easily confused, too. I have come on to a deer suddenly and surprise has caused it to run around in a circle of three or four rods, diameter several times." New York Mail aud Express. New Method or Klver Mining. A novel way of river mining is now being carried on near the Garibaldi Mining com pany's property on the Stanislaus river, two mile below Robinson's Ferry. The plan consists of a scow twenty by sixty feet on which is placed a steam engine and boiler of fifteen horse power with a powerful suction pump attached. Tho pump not only throws an immense stream of water, but at the same time draws the sand, rocks and gravel from tho bed of tho river at the rate of fifty tons per hour. The pump discharges into the head of a flume running the entire length of tho scow, mid drops the material, less the gold, somo ten feet away from tho stern of tho boat. Any largo rocks tlmt muy ob struct tho free working of the pump nre hustled out of tho way in short order by largo and powerful derricks. As the Stanis laus river is noted for its heavy gold deposits tho results can hardly fail to meet, if not greatly exceed, the anticipations of the Chi cago capitalists who havo it in charge. Calaveras (Col.) Prospect. An Empress Among; Lunatics. Empress Elizabeth of Austro-Hungary re cently visited the Vienna lunatic asylum with the wifo of Princa Karl Theodore, her brother, tho famous oculist. Nearly ull tl.o mad men and women recognized tho emprc&s, who had visited the place before, and several noblemen kissed her bands while the women knelt to receive her blessing. One lunatic approached her majesty and said: "No 01:0 would ever think you were a grandmother." Thero wus such a touch of flattery -onibine with the op)ositc sentiment in this that tho empress broke into uproarious laughter aud asked the lunatic's namo and if she were curable. Sho was told she was and her majesty immediately ordered that anything tho woman wanted should bo charged to the imperial purse. Foreign Letter. Newspapers as an Kdacator. "I never read a book any more," said an exceptionally intelligent merchant of this city, "and I think I am about as well in formed as tho majority of business men." "What do you read?" asked tho reporter. "Tho newspapers and occasionally a magazine Well conducted newspapers now havo careful reviews of the best books, ob viating the necessity of reading thoso books. They carry descriptions of every naw inven tion and aro a complete history of each day's events. In addition they publish enough reminiscences to keep a man tolerably well posted in history so that reading books I; an act of supererogation. Tho newspapers givo mo everything I want."
