Senator Fair Going 70 Europe.

senator Fair Going to Europe
From the San Francisoo Chronicle May 22d.
The Senator from Nevada, but a resident of
this city, James @. Fair, accompanied by his
youngest son, Charlie Fair, and his promising
boy, James G. Fair, jr., alias Johnny Quizz, and
Count Won Cuerrenti. quietly departed yester-
day for the east and Europe by the Southern
Pacific train which left at 0:80 q. m. The de-
parture was fixed for Saturday. but business
matters would not permit. Before leaving the
prosecuted Senator called on mis- divorced wife
and asked leave to take the youngest son with
him to Germany to place him In some eduoa-
ti0nal institute, and she consented Mrs. Fair
has transferred her interest to him in the prop
erty the corner Of Mason and California streets
which was to be their hOme also the property
the SO varas Nos. S4S S44, 188 and 170. and the
southwest corner Of Grove and Couch streets
for the consideration Of go. On the other hand'
]. G. Fair has decided to Mrs. Theresa Fair the
property upon which their residence is on the
northwest corner Of Pine and Jones streets and
the property upon which their elegant stables
are situated, on the southwest corner of Taylor
ana Pine streets, and the 5O-vara lot No. 1,O24.
the Senator receiving the same consideration a.
he was supposed to have paid his wife The
Senator was asked BY q friend before leaving
wnere ne intended going and when he would
return. "Oh, any place to get out of this town.
feoplo know too much about me and mine 7
may be back In six months" A reporter inter-
viewed number OF brokers and men well posted
on stock matters, but none Of them seemed in
tne least concerned over the departure or the
return OF the once popular miner. There was
more interest taken In the sudden Departure oi
young jim Fair. alias Johnny Quizz, who seems
20 nave extensively used his credit for small
amounts Of coin.

The Life OF Man.
From the Philadelphia Times.

From the Philadelphia Times
Man, born Of woman, Is of few days and no
teeth. And, indeed, 1t would be money In his
pocket sometimes If he had less of either. As
for his days, he wasteth one-third Of them, and
as for his teeth, he has convulsions when he cuts
them, and as the last one comes through, 10. the
dentist Is twisting the first one out, and the last
end Of that mans jaw is worst than the first,
being full Of porcelain and a roof-pIate built to
hold blackberry seeds.
Stone bruises line his pathway to manhood 1,
MS father boxes his ears at home, the big boys
cuff him In the play ground, and the teacher
whips him In the school room. He buyeth
Northwestern at no. when he hath sold short at
96. and his neighbor unloadeth upon him Iron
Mountain at 635s, and it straightway breaketh
down to 52A. He riseth early and sitteth up
late that he may I'LL his barns and storehouses,
and 10! his children's lawyers divide the spoil
among themselves, and say "Ha, hal" He
gfOWleth and is sore distressed because 1t rain

my crop is LOST" because it raineth not. The
late rains blight his wheat and the frost biteth
his peaches. II 1t be so that the sun shineth.
even among the nineties, he sayeth, "Woe is
me- for perish" and II the northwest wind
were dead!" II he wear sackcloth and blue
jeans men say "He is a tramp" and If he goeth
forth shaven and clad in purple and fine linen
all the people cry, Shoot the dude."

until he hath paid thrice over for all his goods,
and then he letteth his policy lapse one day
and that same night fire destroyeth his store.

and cyclone carryeth his house away over into

ALIVE IN A GRAVE.
Why Sh0veIs Fell and why Sand Flew
~ it Never Flew Before.

From the Cleveland Leader.
About nine o'clock yesterday morning the
earth caved In under an old building on On
tariO, near Howe street, burying Fred Rutch-
1nsky, OF No. 63 Noyes street, laborer, at least
foot over his head. The workmen were en-
gagged in putting braces under the building at
the time, when, without any warning, the sand
caved In Twelve workmen were Immediately
set to work to dig out the unfortunate man.
When six Of them became exhausted, another
SIX took their place. After working q few
minutes, the men succeeded In uncovering
Rutchinsky's head, and finding him still alive
they were encouraged to go on. But the sand
cayed In for the second time, and there was
very little hope then that he would be brought
out alive. A plucky young Irishman, who re-
fused to be relieved Of bis shovel at all, greatly
encouraged the other workmen, although Il
must be said they would have exerted them
selves heroically without any encouragement
The shovels quickly flew again and once more
the mans head appeared to view Rutchinsky
was by this time nearly sufYOcated. He was
very pale and moaned pteOusly. They had
succeeded In getting him cleared nearly to the
waist, when for the third time the treacherous
sand gave way and he was imm ersed This
time very few had hopes that the man would
come forth alive, but the workmen continued to
labor resolutely and were soon rewarded BY see
Ing the unfortunate fellows head uncovered
again This time precautions had been taken. A
barricads OF boards pointed ct one end had
been driven into the sand surrounding the man
end, under the direction OF q well-digger named
Richard Ody, -four barrel was placed over the
mans neaa. TO prevent sunocation in the event
OF another cave-in. When Rutchinsky's
shoulders were nnally uncovered strong rope
was passed under his arms and, one end being
passed to the crowd. he was pulled out to solid
earth. He had been buried for an hour and q
hall and, outside Of the natural exhaustion, the
only apparent injury WAS o confusion on the
heed, caused evidently by shovel.

number OF eight-day and thirty hour machines
have been made In Philadelphia. and sent TO
San Domingo and Hayti. large order IL
now awaiting shipment into Mexico. Peru
alone, Of the South American countries. has
used them. There were sent at one time into
that kingdom q dozen Of the eiGht-day ma
chines and this within six months Italy, Ger.
many and Austria buy plenteously. From Ger
tain indications 1t would appear that some sort
Of movement is speedily contemplated in Italy.
An unusually large number Of machines have
been bought in Philadelphia to be sent to that
country, and orders are coming In every day.
Holgate was asked the other day what would be
the effect Of the explosive act now before the
Pennsylvania legislature. He said, "It will be
imperative. Ny machines are not internal ma
chimes until they are made so. Anything can be
made into an Internal rnachine-an orange, q
hat, boot, coat, a shovel. q pound Of sugar,
anything in fact. To crush the business in this
way Is impossible"

Eat Honey.

Eat Honey.
In the last number Of tho american Bee
Journal the editor closes an article on "Bees
and Honey in Ancient Times" with the following
regarding honey for food and health:
Thousands and tens ofthousands of children
are dying all around u.s. who, because their
ever-developing nature demands sweetness,
crave and eagerly demolish the adulteratsd
candies and sirups' of modern times. If these
could be fed on honey, instead, they would de-
velop and grow up into healthy men and
women.
children would rather eat bread and honey
than bread and butter; one pound Of honey will
reach as far as two pounds Of butter and has
oesldeS, the advantage that 1t 10 far more
healthy and pleasant-tasted, and always re-
mains good, while butter soon becomes rancid.
tatiOns. s0urness, vomiting and diarrh0ea Pure
honey should always be freely used in every
family. Honey eaten upon wheat bread Is very
beneficial to health.
''The use Of honey instead Of sugar for al
most every kind Of cooking Is as pleasant for
the palate as It is healthy for the stomach. In
preparing blackberry, raspberry, or strawberry
shOrt-cake, 1t Is infinitely superior.
"It Is Q common expression that honey IA q
luxury, having nothing to do with the nfe-giv-
Ing principle, This is an error-honey is food
In one Of its most concentrated forms. True. 1t
does not add 30 much to the growth of muscle
as does beef steak, but It does impart other
properties, no less necessary to health and Wig
Orous physical and intellectual action! It gives
warmth to the system, arouses nervous energy.
and gives vig0r to all the vital functions. 10
the laboref, It gives strength-to the business
man, mental force. Its effects are not like Or
dlnary stimulants, such - spirits, ETC., but 1t
produces healthy action, the results Of which
are pleasing and pefmanent-e sweet dispo-
sition and bright intellect"

BILLIARDS NOW AND THEN.
An Old.Tine Player Drifts Into Talk
About the Experts of To-Day.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
An old man, with untrmmed beard and wear
ing clothes cut in style oflong ago, was an In
terested spectator of the late billiard tourna-
ment- He was found after the last game In q
snlall coffee house in Third avenue
81 don't see what billiards are coming to-" he
said, after being warmed into conversation. 81
used TO Keep hall near here and In nv day
was counted pretty stiff player; but when they
took OH the fourth ball and stopped up the
pockets, and cut the table down, nearly quit
thinking the game getting too fine for me-
But now. i see the French carrom game is
about far behind scientific billiards as the big
table with pockets Is from the little plain one.
They have got to drawing lines on the table and
Saying what kind of shots must be made to get
count, but there is no telling how soon the
professionals will get the fancy games down to
perfection. Luck has had a good deal to do
With these new games. but it is only question
Of time when it will have to give way to
science.
'What do / think of Schaefer? Well. think
hes got more natural billiards In him than any
one have ever seen play. He goes around the
table as II he was strung on wires and PLAYS
like racehorse all the time. His masse shots
belong In the catalogue OF wonders Under his
cue ball will wriggle like snake. and then
start off down the cushion like squirrel on
hickory branch. But somehow can't place any
confidence In his playing. When the balls get
TO running little contra he's likely to lose his
heart, stop short, like balky horse, and then
shoot of after awhile and knock the record all
to pieces. He isn't tanned yet, and doesn't
know his own strength. The Frenchman's
playing suits me pretty well. He makes
me think of Billy Goldthwaite, who,
years ago. was the coming man in the bill
Hard world, and played the prettest game
ever saw. He used to make the worries roll
On the green cloth like water on velvet.
The Frencliman picks out the handsOmest
ehots on the table. and he has the touch of q
&Oman's hand. He has no equal on one-cush-
lon shots, any way the balls are placed, and
Will tackle q draw shot like country school,
fnarm will a strawberry shortcake-anywhere
on the table. 1 looked for his weak point in
the game with Schaefer, and think found It,
At least One-third the whole number Of misses
were made on simple two-cushion shots that
Are nuts and raisins for amateurs.
"All these experts, though. have their spe-
cialtieS as well as their weak points. Give Sex
ton chance to go round the table, and no one
knows when he'd stop making buttons; and when
Dion sees way of going twice round he's in his
glory. Daly's got o lot of those patent shots
that don't understand, but they are big eggs
in a cushion carrom game. He plays all sorts Of
kisses, and he's the only one in the lot that can
hit both balls touch the cushion, and then catch
up with the object ball, and do 1t prime. Yes,
I've seen SlOssOn play, and he's good one too
Hes got the touch and tick down where they
belong, and will show them all.'

CURIOUS FEATURES OF ACTUAL
LIFE.
From the Saturday Reriev.

From the Saturday ReYiew.
A height OF more than $4,000 feet has we
believe, been reached in the Himalayas by an
English officer, and height exceeding 81, 900
feet was twice reached by Mr.. Whymper In the
Andes. It remarkable that at first this traveller
and his guides suffered frightfully from the
rarity Of air. At an elevation Of only $4,000
feet on the slopes Of ChimbOrazo they felt inca
pable for while Of making the least exertion
Subsequently, however, Mr.. Whymper passed a
night on the summit of Cotopaxl, 1900 feet
high, without apparently suffering in any way,
ana when he made his second ascent Of Chlmbo-
razO he does not seem to have felt any oppres-
sion whatever. On the other summit ment iOned
that Of Cotopaxi, he had been preceded by Herr
Won Thielman, who was not apparently In the
least affected by the rarity Of the air. and Of the
one complained Of headache.
1t seems then, clear that a strong man accus-
toned to mountain walking would be able, after
allowing time for his lungs to get accmated, to
attain without any difficulty height of 81 600
any very great difficulty. to mount 900 feet
higher. Whether any man, however strong and
practiced, can go much beyond this whether
heights of % 900 and "a, 900 feet can be reached
ON foot, it Is impossible at present to say.
Mr.. Matthews, the late president Of the Alpine
club, who referred to this subject In paper ON
mountain climbing, seemed to think that even
the summit Of Mount Everest might not be
unattainable. Mount Everest, or Gauri Sanker,
towers by more than 5000 feet over the highest
point yet reached on foot, and we fear that over
the final part Of the walk up it atmospheric
conditions would severely try the mountaineer.
Unfortunately, the interesting experiment can
not be made, as Mount Everest cannot be
approached.
A peak more than $4,000 feet high is, how
ever, accessible; and now that Major MitGIell
has shown that the difficulties and expense Of
Himalayan travel are not so great as they are
supposed to be, some adventurous members of
the Alpine club may think of attempting the
ascent Of this Monte Rosa of the Himalayas.
For the real enthusiast such an expedition must
have the greatest possible attraction. II he
succeeds he will achieve lasting renown, and If
he fails and at %. 900 feet or thereabout dies,
literally from want Of breath. his last moments
will be cheered by the thought that he has
made highly interesting experiment, and that
ne will rank legitimately among the martyrs Of
science,

How Colds are Taken:

A person in good health. with fair play, says
The Lancet. easily resists cold. But when the
health flags little, and liberties are taken with
the stomach. or the nervous system, chill is
easily taken, and according to the weak spot of
the individual, assumes the form of cold,
pneumonia, or it may be, jaundice. OF all
causes Of 'cold," probably fatigue is one
Of the most efficient. jaded man

DAYS work, growing youth losing two
three times week, or young lady heavily
doing the season." young children over-fed
and with short allowance Of sleep, are COM
mon instances Of the victims of ''cOld." Luxury
1s favorable to chll-taking; very hot rooms
soft chairs, feather beds, create a sensitiveness
that leads to catarrhs. 1t is not, after all, the
''cOld' that Is so much to be feared as the
chance of doing harm. Some Of the worst
''colds" happen to those who do not leave their
house or even their bed, and those who are
most inyulnerable are often those who are most
exposed to changes of temperature, and who,
by good sleep. cold bathing and regular habits
preserve the tone Of their nervous system and
circulation.
or at the fag end Of the day, when tired people
get the equilibrium of their circulation dis
turbed by either overheated sitting-rooms or
underheated bedrooms and beds, This is spe-
cially the case with elderly people. In such
cases the mischief Is not always done instanta-
neOusly or In single night. 1t often takes
place inEdiously, extending over days or even
weeks 1t thus appears that taking cold" is
not by any means a simple result Of lower
temperature, but depends largely on personal
conditions and habits, affecting especially the
nervous and muscular energy Of the BODY
