WHY A JOG TPOT WINS.

In the course of lecture on the " Brain and
Nervous system" Dr. j. w Ranney incidentally
mentioned as reasons OF ROwelIs success ana
O'Loary's defeat il the late walking match, that
the persons who sent ROwell to this country Sc
lected their man and drilled him. until all the neces-
gary muscles were developed and his respiratory and
digestive organs were in perfect order. He did not
run or walk, but logged along lat-footed, thus
bringing into play the muscles Of the thigh which
were best able TO endure long strain. When ho
walked he rested these muscles and used those Of
the lower part Of the leg. His steps were short and
rapid. Experience shows, the lecturer SAID, that
muscles used frequently with ease will stand a
strain longer than If the strain Is slower, but at
tended with more cXcrtlOn. Thus, "a man VINO runs
with ease can always defeat man VINO walks al
fbOuCb the latter covers more GROUND I'D each stTlde
INNS the hackers of ROwell knew perfectly well
wnen they sent him over. The Engishman went into
the match with good digestion, good lung powers
good training and good blood circulation. OLeary
On the other hand was deficient in all these, and
had not recovered the vitality expended IN his
former matches Besides, IT IS reported that he

good quality of coffee. After getting supply
OF pure Java coffee in tie bean or berry. the
neeaful and simple appliances consist OF mill
that will grind fne-nesrly ss fine as aour-s
plain pot f any desired martial. and bag made
of substantial Shaker flannel. TIE coffee must
be finely ground in order ITO get the strength out
Of it." The bag must be soaked for dsy-or Two

will have q flannel flavor. The bag ID msde

slipping down.
Place the finely ground coffee in the bag, as
much as Judgment finds necessary for the
family wants; suspend the bag in the pot. pour
boiling water upon the coffee, and let it filter
through. A little experience will show the prop;
er proportions Of water and coffee, which WILL

Why Dixon Was AiI!ed.

| have obtained my information upon this
point, not from DIyon's enemies, but exclu-
sveiy from the independents, the republi-
cans and snch OF his democratic friends as |
felt would tell the rigid truth. And the
ease is bad enough, even then. Some Of the
language that Dixon used Was not only OBJ
scene, it was So horribly 50 that by no p0Ssi-
bic means could 1T 90 into print. In his
ordinary talk he Was pro:ane and filthy, even
among his friends; But when he came to
speak of his enemies he was, with his vim
,i:ctiveaeSs aud reven.efalness, simply aw7-
fui. S:nce lis language was snah rs 30 give
his enemies chaIcc Ia say that 1t dil SIAN
der BAri;Siiic'S female relatives; since ii,
at the same time, permits his friends to sag
tia, rctly speaking, it dill not; and, since
Barksdair's entire defense Viii probably lie
made OF this, 1t becomes a dlSa@ree;.5le ne
ccsSifv to give tie sense of what he SAID
and allow the reader to form his opinion as
, to how FAR Bark ksdales plea is 4 good ore
OF course, lie called Barkstlale a son Of a
., and ul,.,n this is bssrd the charge
that he sia!ldered Barhsiae'S mother He
called Barksialc this So frcdaentiy that the
number OF times Is utterly lost sight OF He
had a way OF saying not nt Barksdaie, par
ticularly, but Of anybody In general, II he
happened net to ike hin-that the man
would commit incest with his sister: but,
III saying So he used, Of course no technical
terms, hut the vileSt words that vile mouth
could utter He was strongly opposed to
the convention system of nominating, pre-
ferring the primary election system.
This is Is far As the Republicans and indie
pendents viii concede Dixon to have gone.
! The democrats assert that he went further,
