How to Live on Ten Gents per Day.

Amos Fish, one of the queerest men
in Albany, N. Y, died ON Monday, leav-
ing an estate of fifty thousand dollars to
charitable institutions, and cutting off
his wife with dollar day. In describ-
ing his manner of life to friend, he
once said: {" buy shank of beef from
the butcher, which costs me ten cents.
My wife makes me enough soup from
this to do us one meal; then the meat
cut from it afterwards makes two more
meals, or one days food for ten cents.
1 split the bone and get the marrow for
cooking purposes, and my wife finds
sufficient fuel in the bone itself to do
considerable cooking. Then in an iron
box, 1 save the ashes, which use for
manuring few plants that realize for
me six cents each." 1t is also stated
that he married a widow who had two
children and little money. He offered
to borrow the money and allow her sew
en- per cent. His wife accepted the prop
osition. One day he forced settlement
with her, bringing in bill for her own
and the children's board, and leaving
her in debt to him.

these are the celebrated Boiling Springs

the world by Fremont, Ruxton and
other writers. ManitOu itself has all
the resources of fashionable watering
place, having one church, four stores,
and five hotels, which afford unusually
luxurious accommodation. The amuse-
ment of the visitors are well cared for.
But what is more value to patients, there
is good supply of horses and carriages
enabling them to gain the benefit derived
from taking some of the many excur-
sions that can be made through this
beautiful country.
Daily rides or drives can be taken
from Manitou to the Garden of the Gods,
Cheyenne Canon, Glen Eyrie, Queens
Canon, Manitou Canon, up Pixies Peak,
Ute Pass, the Great Mesa, the South
Park and Monument Park. Many of
the interesting places can be reached on
foot. There is no spot on the continent
where so many other wonders. and SO
much striking scenery are centered SO at
one place.
