WHY ARE BUTCHERS FAT.


81 give it up" said jolly big butcher
when asked if he could give any reason why
so many butchers were fat It's butch
er's misfortune that he is fat. I suppose
one reason We are so fat is because we eat
enough, keep pretty regular and get up
early in the morning. There's something
queer about it how SO many butchers are
fat, but if we stay in the business any
little time and have any constitution at al;
to build upon, we invariably become bust

natured class hasn't that got something to
do with it?
Yes,n said the butcher, Eve always

keep about syen-tempered. / don't think
The business has anything to do with it, If
it Is o mans nature to be fat he will flesh
up, no matter in what business he may be
engaged. While very large number Of
the men about here who actually handle the
meat are corpulert, still there are some
skinny fellows here who If they stayed here
forever wouldn't get fat. The business il
healthy the men who are IN II were healthy
before they went into it. and Of course as
natural consequence they ilesh up wonder
fully. We don't have anything to think
about or trouble our heads about, and
guess that's the principal reason.'

In reply to interrogations, he said
They come here" said he, g strong,
rugged, healthy young men, and although
their work is laborious it liz not exhausting
like other kinds of labor. To be sure they
have TO do some heavy lifting, but, then,
they have considerable time between acts to
rest. They, as rule, take pretty good
care of themselves, and then, notice that
they always take home the best pieces of
beef. No ehucks in theirs In q word
good living and good constitution make

UNWILLING A STATUE.

The bronze statue THE Still Hunt" was
unveiled In Central Park. 1t was placed In
position early in the morning, and, previous
to the unwilling, was covered with an Amer.
lean flag. The ceremonies began by an ad-
dress by Park Commissioner Wales, who
said: "Hey, Jones Go and pull the flag
off," Park Superintendent Jones seized
the overhanging branch of a syringa bush
with his left hand, drove his left heel four
inches into the soil, leaned out over the cliff
assumed an expression of mortal fear, and,
after several attempts, seized corner of the
flag and scrambled up the bank. Then the
young lady with the red parasol said.
sob, myl" The gentlemen exclaimed
"Ah !" and all went round to the drive to
look at the statue while the police dispersed

IN A BEARS EMBRACE.
A Desperate Struggle for Life In the Black
Mountains of New Mexico.

A day or two ago one of the most desper.
ate battles between man and brute which
has occurred in the Black Range since the
hardy prospector put foot upon the min
eralized surface of the wild region took
place on the south fork of the North Percha
Bruin made determined fight against two
brothers, who, for the sake of fond rela
hves and friends whose fears would be
awakened should they become acquainted
with their boys connection with the cir
cumstance, desire their names withheld
from publication. It appears that the boys
were coming down the arroyo entirely un-
conscious of the presence of danger when
the bear attacked the elder and larger of
the two men from the side of the trail,
where he had been concealed by the heavy
underground. The animal struck his victim
in the face and knocked him over, striking
him again in the back as he fell. His claws
tore the flesh in both places, and he had
crawled upon the almost insensible man
preparatory to completing his deadly work,
when the younger man, forgetting self in
his anxiety for his brothers safety, dashed
into the fight. The men were unarmed
with the exception of revolver of small
calibre, which was carried by the first one
assaulted. With this the bear was shot
once or twice without perceptible effect,
and for q time it was contest of muscle.
The animal, upon being attacked by the
younger brother, turned upon him and
with vicious display of brute force tore the
muscles from one of his arms and with his
huge jaws frightfully lacerated the young
fellows leg. While this was going on the
other brother had gotten up and placing his
thirty eight against the bears body fired o
shot through his bowels. This seemed to
engage the attention of bruin, who began
to think the fight not so entertaining as it
had been and decamped.
The boys managed TO reach their camp
After much suffering, the younger one losing
q great deal of blood. DR.. j. Il. Thomp
son, of Kingston, was sent for and went i'm.
mediately to the scene. He says that the
presence of mind of the boys and their good
judgment in treating their wounds have
probably saved their lives. They were ter
ribly " ehewed up" and clawed and but
for judicious management would have beer
permanently crippled, if not killed. DIR.
Thompson sewed up number of the
wounds and says there are numerous other
places where the bears teeth entered the
aesh.-Ne,o Merscon Tribune.

A ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.

& Fl. G. Hampton, prominent real estate
broker, of Boston, about three years ago
went with his daughter to Fort McGinnis,
Montana, for the purpose Of inspecting
large tract of land he had purchased. Dur
ing that time Miss Hampton formed the &c.
quaintance OF one of the men garrisoned
there, Corporal Cowan, q man of more than
ordinary good qualities, and the young lady,
well knowing that her wealthy father would
oppose their marrying, consented to an
elopement. They fed to st. Paul, where
they were united and lived together about
week, when an officer appeared and arrested
Cowan for desertion. He was taken to Fort
McGinnis, tried by court martial, and ac-
quilted. Mr.. Hampton took his daughter,
IN sad state Of mind, to Boston. Learn
ing the result of her husbands trial, how
ever, she collected few of her valuables
and Immediately started, without her
fathers knowledge, for Fort McGinnis.
Her mind, over-strained by anxiety and
grief, gave way, and at Milwaukee she be-
came SO violent that she had to be taken
into custody.

READING TIVE BAROMETER.

Higher barometer means that the mercu-
nv is rising and lower barometer it is fall
ing.
Higher pressure is synonymous with high
er barometer, and lower pressure with low.
Or barometer. In case of higher barome
ter it indicates colder and contracting at
mosphore and consequently o diminution of
moisture.
A lower barometer indicates an expanding
atmosphere with greater capacity for holding
moisture.
In case of rising barometer it indicates a
decrease of moisture and diminishes the liza
bility for rain.
A falling barometer indicates an increased
amount of moisture and greater liability for
rain, and with it we have an increase in
cloudiness.
When the barometer rises in cloudy wealth,
er it is generally an indication that the
clouds will break and be followed by fair
weather.
A sudden change in the barometer, either
rising or falling, is fair indication of APP
preaching high winds.
At sunset if the sun goes down behind or is
,bscured by bank of clouds with falling
barometer, rain will follow in nineteen cases
out of twenty on the succeeding day. If
The sun be obscured at its setting by clouds
with rising barometer and cooler winds,
tho chances are nineteen TO twenty no rain
will fall ON the succeeding day.
There are three fair weather sunsets--the
red, yellow and green. Green and red are
exceptional, the green more 80 than the red
1t viii seldom happen that we will have
rainfall on n day succeeding one on which
my of the three above colors are dominant
at sunset the day before. 1t occasionally
happens, however, that rain will fall when
no indications whatever on the preceding
day would lend one to expect it.

INNOCENT.

Our criminal laws are defective in, AZ
least, one respect They do not provide
sufficient atonement for the man who suffers
from their maladministration. Light has
been thrown upon this defect by recent
occurrence in the State of New York.
Some months ago. one William Fender
grast was arrested for attempting to pass G
silver dollar, alleged not to be genuine.
On his trial I" IN expert of twenty five years
standing swore that the coin was bad
counterfeit" So poor Pendergrast was
convicted by the jury, and the Judge sem
fenced him TO the Auburn Prison for one
year.
After the trial and when the nan had
gone to his cell, q happy thought struck
some one. He thought it was strange that
Pendergrast's counsel had not hit upon the
idea it would be expedient to ascertain
from the highest authority whether the coin
was really counterfeit.
1t was sent TO Mr.. Brooks, the chief of
the Secret Service at Washington, and he
pronounced it genuine silver dollar.
Then the President, being appealed to, sent
n pardon TO Pendergrast, releasing him from
imprisonment for crime Of which he was
innocent.
OF course, no one will pity the humiliated
4 expert Of twenty-five years standing
whose positiveness and ignorance consigned
nh innocent man to felon's cell. But is it
in accordance with the fitness of things,
even in this world of imperfect administra-
ton, That Pendergrast should suffer wrong
and not be compensated for iii
If the State had taken his property, IL
would have paid him damages. II takes
away that which is more than property, his
good name and his liberty, and leaves him
to whistle for compensation.

TRrcHlNE.

This word-the plural of trichina--has
its accent on the second syllable. 1t is
from Greek word meaning hair, and Is
the name of the hair-like worms sometimes
found in the human muscles. The word
"spiralis is generally attached to it, and
refers to the manner in which the parasite
lies curled up in his tiny capsule.
When fully grown, it would take eighteen
of the males, placed end to end, to make an
inch. The disease to which they give rise
at first often mistaken for muscular rheu-
matism-is called trichinosis, sometimes
hichiniasis.
Hwns not until 1885 that the parasite was
found in man. During the next twenty five
years il was proved that there was con-
nection between the disease in man and that
of the hog and in 1877 the parasite was
found in the muscles of the latter. Whence
the hog has derived It ia an unsettled ques.
lion.
Az long as the hog lives the parasite re-
mains dormant in the animal, like the chrys.
ais of the butterfly. But when the hogs
flesh Is eaten, the tiny capsules then are
dissolved by the digestive juices, and
trichinm are set free.
A single meal may introduce many thou.
sands of them--over million, says one
writer-into the stomach. Thus introduced
they live from Ave to six weeks in the in.
testines, each one producing meanwhile
brood of ut least one thousand five hundred.
The latter soon migrate toward the muscles,
following the course of the blood-vessels
and nerves, and reaching their goal about
the tenth day.
Here, in five OK six months, they pass into
q sort of chrysalis condition, to be freed
from it only by the gastric juices of some
other being. Similar migrations may follow,
wave efter wave. More or less, however,
are swept out of the intestines, possibly to
find their way back to their ancestral home
in the swine.
The trichinm have been found in every
land. They have also been detected in the
cat dog, rabbit, rat, mouse, marmot, the
wild hog of Europe, and even in the hippo
potamus. - YOUTHS Companion.

SHOES OLA CENTURY AGO.

shoemakers prone to discard anatomical laws

tect. 1t is easy to understand, in looking
Mt the boots and shoes of the Seventeenth
century, why the coach became an article
of necessity to the grand seigneur and the
court lady. The heels were very high and
the boot cumbersome.
Moliere kept to the square-toed shoes fas
tened with o lace on the instep, which the
bourgeois of Paris had worn for nearly
century and half. He was shod pretty
much as an English puritan, and was able
TO rove through France without needing the
assistance Of 9 chiropodist. In the reign OF
Louis Quinze pedestrian exercise except on
the fiat, hard terraces of Versailles, became
impossible. The extremity of the heel was
placed under the sole of the foot, and the
whole weight of the body was thrown upor

Asiatic slippers in the house, but she sacri-
iced to the fashion when she appeared at
court.
Marie Antoinette's heels were lower, but
Abe toe of her shoe formed sharp point.
She was glad at her rustic Trianon parties
to lean on the crooked staff of shepherdess
or on the arm of eourtier. If the shoes said
to be worn by her and the Princess dc
Lamballe were only manufactured to be
looked at they would have been charming.
The workmanship so far as stitching and
embroidery goes, is perfect. But the feet
must have been dreadfully squeezed in them.
Marie Antoinette, according to tradition,
had superb gait Chroniclsrs of her time

danes about her, graceful in her movements

Louise had the same defect The ladies of
the Bonaparte family had remarkably small
and well-shaped feet, and wore their shoei

THE CLIFF.DwELLERs.
The uabitations eta Prehistoric People

The Habitations eta Prehistoric People
New Mexico is rich field for the
antiquary to study. as the following
extract from an article on the "Clif-
Dwellers," in the Silver City Enter
prise, shows. That journal says;
On the headwaters of the Gila river,
on the western slope of the Black range
and the eastern side of the Mogollons
mountains, these "Cliff Dwellers'
houses are numerous. Many OF them
are in perfect preservation, but the ma
jority of them have had all the wood
work about them burned-possibiy by
the conquerors. The houses are built
in natural cavorns, followed out OF the
face of solid. perpendicular rocks. To
reach any of them necessitates tedious
climb from the visitor, and it is with
much difficulty that they can be gained
at all, except by the use OF ladders OF
longer or shorter dimensions. Tbs
walls of the houses are built OF stone
laid 10 mud, and the neat, accurate
work done by the masons constructing
them would do credit TO any mechanic
of these times. In the majority OF the
buildings the rooms are small and the
ceilings low, aud in all of them the
doors and windows are miniature, the
former being barely large enough for
six-foot man TO crawl through. Not
withstanding the houses are protected
from rain or snow by the overhanging
cliffs, most of them were provided with
roofs constructed after the style OF the
Mexican dwellings Of the present day,
being made of mud held up by timbers
with the ends supported upon the tops
of the walls. Most of the timbers used
were cottonwood. and by reason of its
having been protected from the ele-
ments this wood remains in perfect
state of preservation. Ia the center OF
the rooms boxes two feet in diameter,
made of stone, were situated. in which
fires were built. These yet remain
filed with ashes. Specimens of the
handiwork of these people are yet nu.
merous, and can be found by digging
beneath the debris caused by the fallen
roofs. They consist chiefly of baskets
woven very neatly from the leaves of
the soap weed, sandals plated from the
Spanish DAGGER leaves, and of pottery
of every description known to the
Pueblo Indians. Stone axes have been
found and metates are numerous; corn
cobs lie scattered about in abundance,
dry and brittle with age. Bones of
animals of the various species peculiar
to the country are plentiful among the
rubbish, but, so far as known to the
writer, no bones belonging to the Cliff.
dwelling people have yet been discov-
cred. This circumstance is considered
peculiar, and gives rise to various specu-
lations as to the manner in which they
disposed of their dead.
The largest habitation of these an
cient people located on the Gila. is on
the west fork, about two miles above
the hot springs. Here is cliff stand
ing probably three hundred feet high,
and on the south side of it, about one
hundred feet from its base, is cavern
which is followed out in the soft rock.
The cave has an open space five hun
dred feet wide, while its depth is about
fifty feet and its height thirty feet.
