The Deception Of the Microscope

a hundred microscopes of different
sizes and manufacture were ranged in
line around the hall. Many visitors
looked through them with great curl
osity. Under one of the glasses was a
beautiful gold bug that looked like a
mountain of shining gold. A postage
stamp under another lens was as large
as the state of Texas. A drop of ink
looked like the Black Sea. Three or
four grains of sand beneath large mi
croscope were Sahara, What seemed
the Chicago confagratioh was firetly.
\ fly track magnified one million di-
ameters resembled the crater of vol
cano. A Jersey mosquitoes bill looked
like the mast of ship. \ vast ocean
with whales, sea serpents and schools
of porpoises floating and gamboling in
it was a drop of water from an old rain
barrel. Some gin fiZZ in a thimble look
ed like the great geyser in the National
Park.
"What is this herd of wild buffalo?"
asked an old lady, adjusting her spec
tacleS and taking her eyes from the mi
croscope.
Those are not buffalo, madam, - said
scientist. 'They are insects too
small to be seen with the naked eye."
"What is this that looks like the At
lantic cable?" asked young lady.
"a hair from a young mans mus
tache," said the microscopist.
"Look at Jumbo" exclaimed a little
girl, as she was held up to look into the
microscope at young flea.
'It's the same eleghant. I saw at
Barnum's show" said the little boy
greatly delighted.
"What beautiful lake, said two
young ladies who had just looked
through the microscope. They glanced
at the card which labled the object un-
der the glass. 1t read: "a gnat's toe

shipping breissd Beef.

1t is possible that the system of ship
ping dressed beef from Texas may at no
distant day do away to great extent
With the shipping of cattle from the
state. MI. N. 7. Tdfner, in charge Of
the American Refrigerator Car Compa-
ny, said yesterday that in a recent con-
versation with Messrs. Armour, Swift
and other Chicago packers, who had
seen dressed beef eighteen days old, he
was surprised by their inter est in the
matter. They pronounced the beef to
be as fresh as if just taken from the
slaughter house, and made many in
quiries as to the method adopted for
preserving it. The dressed beef which
has so far been sent to ST., Louis and
Chicago has come from Columbus, Tex
as, at which place it is tfeated by o
new plan of refrigeration. Under this
plan the freshness aid sweetness of
beef are preserved for an Indefinite peri,
cd. The shipment of this beef is as yet
an experiment, but if, as is claimed, 1t
can be kept perfectly fresh for months
merely through the assistance Of re-
frigerator, it is likely to work revolu-
ton in the matter OF live stock ship
ments. The economy resulting from sfe
adoption of this method of transport
ing beef would be so great as to be al
most past computation. AS one item,
it would save shfinkaee i'll cattle dur
ing shipment equal to ten per cent.
Just what this item ar.ounts to may be
seen in calculation made upon the ba-
sis furnished by the zoe, 900 cattle taken
from the Texas drive. The saving in
meat would edital the amount fur
nished by 10000 cattle. This item of
shrinkage is one which has troubled
every ole who has ever received steer
which, weighing 1000 pounds at tie
time of shipment, would register only
$50 pounds when placed on a scale at
the time of its receipts There is little
doubt but that the experiment of ship
ping dressed beef from Texas will
be put into practice OH an extensive
scale.

The democratic press of the United
States, reviewing the past twenty-three
years of republican rule, piles up the
the following formidable array of mis-
chief and frauds and scandals against
successive republican administrations:
The Credit Mobilier swindle.
The Boss Shepherd ring frauds.
The safe burglary iniquity.
The whiskey frauds.
The Freemen's bank swindle.
The Belknap impeachment.
The Robeaon naval frauds.
The Sanborn frauds.
The Indian bureau frauds.
The pension bureau frauds.
The Black Fryday rascality.
The theft of the presidency in 1876.
The Indian bribery in 1880.
The Blaine speakership jobbery.
The star route frauds.
This is certainly terribleindictment
and it places terrible weapons in the
hauds of the democracy, but the scan
dals and corruptions developed in only
seven years of tory rule in Canada knock
the republican record into commissions.

A new style of dancing is observed
which is likely to be popular and cause
some discussion. In Waiting the gem
tleman puts his arm around the lady's
waist and she lays up close to him.
With the left arm extended right out
he holds the hand of her right arm,
which Is also extended straight out. and
as all the muscles are brought into play
by the position the dance is grac eful
and the exercise is enhanced. The
arms extended serve as a rudder and
help in guiding, but the result is a good
deal more hug than has ever been wit
messed or experienced in dancing be-

The following story comes in from
Michoacan: An Indian went outside
the town of Cherantzicurin, state Of
Michoacan, to look fer some fuel in the
mountain near by. While cutting up a
dry oak he felt bite on the calf of his
deg, given in the fraction of setonG.
A moment later he felt coiling around
his body the terrible folds of a boacon-
constructor. Instinctively he leaned
over toward the wounded leg} and was
almost facinated by the glare OF two
bright basilisk eyes that cleaned like
fiery Goals in the head of a serpent.
Quicker than flash the Indian ducked
his head and caught the neck of the
reptile in his teeth, clinging to it with
the desperation of the dying. The huge
serpent lashed his tail and tried to
twist his head to bury his fangs in the
Indian. but the latter clung on and be-
gan to chaw away at the neck of the
boa, which is the thinest and softest
part of its anatomy. After chewing
for long time the Indian succeeded
in beheading his antagonist, The folas
dropped off and the Indian was free

A correspondent Of the Hartford
Conn Courant, who has just finished
his first year in Dakota, says: II do
not look to grain-raising as the main
industry of the country, but rather
stock-raising and fattefiin9. In the
broken and sheltered region near the
streams cattle and horses can be win
tered. as In Montana, without. feeding
or stabling, and when wintered with
more care are much less of an expense
than in New England, Thousands of
young cattle are passing through here
westward and southwark to occupy the
rough.lands along lthe water courses,
while the open country is consigned to
the plow. The vafied advantages and
capacities of this portion of Dakota are
the promise of such diversified develop
ment and interests as best insure a
stable prosperity"

Bill Nye on Lightning.

Last week we went up to the -Colise-
um at Minneapolis, TO hear Theodore
Thomas orchestra, the Wagner trio
and Christine Nelson. The Coliseum
is a1arge rink just out of Minneapolis
on the road between that city and St.
Paul. 1t can Seat 4, 900 people comfort
ably, but the management like to wedge
4 500 people in there on warm day and
then watch the perspiration trickle out
through the clapboards on the outside.
On the closing afternoon during the
matinee performance; the building
was struck by lightning and hole
knocked out of the Corinthian duplex
that surmounts the oblique portcullis
on the off side. The reader will see. at
once the location of the bolt. The
lightning struck the flag staff, run down
the leg of a man who was preparing
the electric light, took chew of tobac-
CO, turned his boots wrong side ont and
induced him to change his socks, toyed
with chilblain, wrenShed out small
corn and roguishly put it in his ear,
then ran down the electric light wire, a
part OF it filling an engagement in the
Coliseum and the balance following
the wire to the depot, where it made
double-pointed toothpicks of a pole fifty
feet high. All this was done very
briefly.
Those who have seen lightning toy
with cottonwood tree know that the
fluid makes speciality of it at once and
in brief manner. The lightning in
this case, broke the glass in the sky
light, and deposited the fragments on
half dozen parquette chairs that were
empty because the Spectators who
owned them couldn't get but $50 apiece
and were waiting for man to mort
gage his residence and sell team. He
couldn't make the transfer in time for
a matinee, so the seats were vacant
when the lightning struck.
The immediate and previous fluid
then shot athwart the auditorium in
the direction of the platform, where it
nearly frightened 10 death a chorus of
children. Women tainted, ticket spec
ulators fell 50 on desirable seats, and
strong men coughed up a Glove. The
seen beggared description. intended
to have said that before, but forget it.
Theodore Thomas drew long breath,
and Christine Nilsson drew her salary.
Two thousand men thought of their
wasted lives, and 1900 women felt of
their back hair to see if it was still
there. 1 say, therefore, without sue
cessful contradiction, that the scene
beggared description.

The Pop Corn Trade.

In speaking of the extent of the pop
corn trade the New York Mail and Ex-
press says:
"The high price of corn has some
what discouraged the manufacturers of
popcorn, who are compelled to pay in
creased money for their. product while
disposing of their goods at almost the
same figures as obtained when corn was
low. One manufacturer uses as high
as 10000 pounds of popcorn a year.
lie has now on hand single contract
of shipping 1000 barrels to London.
France, Breslau, Berlin, Japan, China.
and Italy. The Italians prefer it to
maca roni, and are heavy consumers of
popcorn. Many physicians said the
popcorn man, are recommending their
patients to use popcorn as a cure for
dyspepsia"

To remove these cattle now would be
