A MAN IN CHICAGO EATS THIRTY
BIRDS IN THIRTY DAYS.
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." Chicago Herald.
THE FASTCR'S FIRST DINNER.
Merlatti's Knilc and Fork Idle
Even
After the 1'ifly Days Fast.
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.

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.

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

ESCAPE FKOM IffilW.
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

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

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

The Last Year's Ice Palace.
Tho structure of the St. Paul ice palace
last winter was of rectangular cruciform
ground plan, 180x154 feet, with principal
I tower 106 feet high, surrounded by other
I towers, etc., giving very beautiful and com
! pleto architectural character to the building,
j The principal entrance was under a Gothic
: arch of ten feet span and twenty-five feet
; high. 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.
The blocks were raised in place by ice tongs
and tackle operated by horsepower. The
blocks in walls and arches were cemented
with water, which, at the existing tempera

ABOUT DEER 1IUNTING.
TALK WITH A HUNTER WHO HAS
BEEN IN THE NORTHWEST.
Methods Kmployed by Hunters Killlas;
j a Kattlesnake The "Buck Fever."
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

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.

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.
