THE introduction of Chicago beef in
to New York is viewed, according to u
paper of that city, with seriousness by
the wholesale dealers but with enthusi-
asm by the public. 1t mentions one
shop where last Saturday night between
8 o'clock and midnight Chicago beef
was sold over the counter to lao pei
sons, independently of hundred OF other
orders sent in. A comparison of prices
shows that where the New York butch
ers have been charging % to % cents
pound for porterhouse steak the Chi
cago invader of the market sells 1t for
20 cents. The price of sirloin steak
has been reduced from 20 and % cents
a pound to Is and 20 cents. 1t is re-
ported that combination Of New York
butchers has been made which Will

ONE day last week an engineer on the
New Pine Creek, Jersey Shore and
Buffalo railroad climbed rocky blum
near Wellsboro, Pa, to make an obser-
walton. He was holding on by a small
tree, some fifty feet up the almost per-
pendicular bluff, when he was alarmed
by seeing huge rattlesnake preparing
to spring at him. He had to decide
whether to drop to the bottom OF the
bluff and probably break his neck, or
to grasp the snake with his other hand
He chose the latter as the lesser OF the
two evils. seized the rattlesnake with a
firm grip in the left hand, hurled 1t
from him down the precipice, and
saved his own life.

Died for His Overcoat,


Among the charrcd debris of HUMANE
ty that have been removed from the
ruins of the Ring Theater within the last
few days. were the remains of Henry
Samek, the chief of the claquc, who, af-
ter displaying extraordinary gallantry in
rescuing several persons from the gal
lerics of the burning house, lost his life
in vain effort to save-his overcoat!
His thorough knowledge of the ms and
outs of the theater enabled him to enter
it again and again, each time with inn
punity and success, in his heroic pur-
pose, while the confiagration was raging.
He had just conveyed an insensible
woman from one of the lobbies into the
balcony overlooking the Hess-Gasse,
when he suddenly remembered that he
had left his surtout hanging from a peg
close to the exit from the third gallery,
in which part of the house he had been
seated when the fire broke out, and
forthwith resolved to recover it. One of
his subordinates entreated him to fore
20 so perilous an enterprise, and even
endeavored to keep him back by main
force. But Samek, an extremely pow
erful man, shook him off, exclaiming,
Nothing can happen to me, for I know
the house as we'll as 1 know my own
pocket" and vanished into the smoke,
never more to emerge thence alive. Thus
persisted the head purveyor of applause
to the Inflated Ring Theater on the scene
to his nightly labors. He died for a
coat, it is true; but not until he had
proved himself hero in better cause
than that for which he threw away his
life.-Londo'a Telegraph

A Living Lie.

~Aos
In the great city it is the easiest thing
imaginable to live two lives. New York
is particularly fitted for this sort of de-.
ception. Not only names, but employ
ment and character, are concealed in a
facile manner. Many of the splendid
gentlemen boarding at our best hotels
are tirst-class gamblers, but they sue
coed in palming themselves off as down
town lawyers, brokers, and sometimes
as members of the army of returned
Californians, with plenty of money. The
same remark includes even houses
whose real character may long be held
in concealment. A recent instance of
this is as follows: A respectable look
ing woman was recently arrested for
keeping disorderly house, the proof
being offered by man who had been
robbed there. The defendant indignant
ly denied the charge, and called upon
her pastor to sustain her reputation.
The latter appeared in court, and gave
his name and that of the church under
his charge. He testified that the woman
was communicate in good standing,
and that he had perfect confidence in
her worth. He had often visited the
house on pastoral duty, and had never
seen anything ST a suspicious character.
The police, however, said that the house
had long borne bad name, and the
prisoner was convicted. The clergy
man thus learned that for years he had
been under skilful deception, and no
doubt this pious fraud was practiced
solely in order to use him as a witness
in case of complaint. Such are some of
the phases of life. -a .;i4y.si

Pussy in Church.

While the occupants of the pews in a
fashionable Brooklyn church were on a
Sunday morning awaiting the opening
of service, large gray cat mounted the
pulpit platform and crouched under the
stately carved chair. Having secured
this position, it began the utterance of
grfeVous walls. While there seemed to
some persons to be an appropriateness
in thus bringing load of grief into the
sanctuary, others were disposed to think
that the cat could better have selected
some other place as a refuge. The dea-
cons and elders were of the latter opin-
ion.
The pastor had not yet taken his
place, and the cat had the platform all
to itself. A deacon and two elders adj
vanced in order to take measures to re-
move the creature. The deacon grasp
ed the cat, which in turn began to claw
him and spit defiance at him. The ell
ders stood one at each end of the plat
form, in case the cat should dodge away
from the deacon. For moment it
looked as if both of them NIL ht have to
run to the deacon's help. The young
persons in the church regarded the sit
uation with intense interest. Had it
been anywhere else than in a church
they would have oheered the deacon
when, clasping the terrified brute in his
arms, he passed it to one of the elders,
who gravely carried it out the side door.
When the good pastor proceeded with
the service it was in an almost audible
smile. 1t was some minutes before that
congregation settled into fitting sober
decOrum.

Moist Air Wanted.

The great defect in our atmosphere is
excessive dryness. The dew point Of
England is fifteen or twenty degrees
higher than of New England. The re
suits are seen in the contrast between
the plump body and smooth skin Of the
Englishman and the lean, juiceless
body, and dry, cracked skin Of the Yam
kee. 1t is also shown in the well-known
difference in the influence of house heat
upon furniture. Our chairs, tables, So
fas, and woodwork warp and shrink,
while nothing of the sort occurs in Eng
land.
On the western side of the Rocky
Mountains bronchitis and consumption
are almost unknown. In great part
this immunity is attributed to the re-
markable humidity of the atmosphere.
The dew point on the Pacific coast is
very high. =.49
As we cannot change the amount of
moisture in the atmosphere of the coun-
try, we must limit our practical efforts
to the air of our houses. II we use a
stove, its entire upper surface may be
made reservoir for water. Ornament
al work of but little cost may be used
to conceal it. The furnace may be made
to send up, with its heat, many gallons
Of water daily, in the form of vapor.-

wheeler and Russian sleigh with
horses to match. He has flowers sent
to his rooms twice day, and when he
walks with young lady he always
buys for her a most expensive bouquet,
there being no other sort at this time of
the year. He spent $500 in fitting up
two rooms in his mothers house. He
wears three marvellous rings upon his
hand, at's-eye set in hammered gold,
a red cat's-eye with two diamonds, and
a sapphire set with two diamonds; his
shirtbuttons are two pearls set in dia-
monds, and also a cat's-eye set in the
same precious stones. He has five dozen
pairs of silk hose with his monogram
upon them, and he has cane in which
is concealed a cologne fountain. To a
young lady who admired one of his rings
the other day he kindly said he would
send one round to her house the next
day just like it. He was told the other
day by reigning belle, whose good
grace he wished to cultivate, that to
succeed he must 60 down town and 90
