to resist the noxious influences.

al care used in making the dwelling
warm and dry must be supplemented
by equal painstaking in furnishing

The possible danger to health is in
the current of air passing SO quickly
over the body as to rapidly exhaust
the heat, producing a chill. These
required conditions are readily obtain

the purity Of the air in the room.

SORAKICHI'S MUSCLE.
He Lifts the One Hundred aud Fifty
Pound Club Eighteen Times and
beats Capt. DAILY


Capt. James @. Daily, the Irish
American athlete, sauntered into a
newspaper Office the other afternoon
with big roll of bills in his pocket to
make a match with Emil Voss, the
German hercules, for $3.50, to lift
Fox's big 150pound club more times
than Voss. Voss didn't come in, but
Matsada Sorakichi did, and he had a
| lot of greenbackS with him, too.
'You put that club up six times the
other day, ! hear" Sorakichi said,
with twinkle in his eye.
eyes, I did," retorted Daily, "and
I'm going to bet $500 on the outside
that beat Voss."
well it's something new to me, "
the Jap continued, "bus I'll bet $40
| that can put it up ten times myself"
Cart. Daily smiled incredulOusly,
and said: ''Tu have to go you,
Mat"
The Jap stripped off his oater Cloth
ing, and walked around the club
thoughtfully. It is four feet high
and nearly two feet ia diameter, and
built purposGly to tease heavy lifters.
The Jap tent himself like crescent
suddenly, and selling the handle with
one hand and sliding the other under
the bottom, drew himself up straight
slowly and elevated the huge thing
eleven times. Then he stood it on
the ground and claimed SO.
But Capt. Daily didn't let him have
it. Il thought you were fooling,
Matt he said ''You didn't nut IN
the money"
The Jap wiped the perspiration
from his brow, counted out $40 from
his roll of greenbacks, and slipped it
into Harding's fist.
Now the moneys up, anyhow"
the Jap said land [ bet you I can
beat you lifting that club
DAILY put up a $40 note, too, pealed
off his clothes, and hoisted the tire
mendous club fourteen times.
Spectators who had been invited,
watched him with open mouths, He
had mora than doubled the highest
previous record.
That's pretty good" the Jap said,
hut watch me-" He rushed at the
club just as be rushes against his adj
vcrsary in a wrestling bout, and had
the club in the air ia a twinklisg.
Then he sent it up in the air eighteen
successive times, closed his hand upon
the stake money, and smiled delight
eddy.
''That's the most marvellous exhibi
ton ever saw" Harding said, as he
shook hands with the Jap. Capt.
Daily said nothing. He put on his
clothes and walked out into the open
air to think out how the Jap manag-
ed to accomplish the feat.

A FalIacy Exploded.

There is something at once inspir-
ing and dreadful in the intensity with
which these men work, writes a Mex
leo correspondent of the Boston Jour
nal. Where or now the fallacy con-
corning their laziness has gained
ground it is hard to understand
Whatever they do is doEe as if sal
walton depended upon it, and the ex-
ertlon demanded where manual labor
takes the place Of steam or horse
power is so bitterly hard that it makes
their continuous application the more
wonderful. We have yet to see the
first instance of Sinking or OF care
lessness. Slight of frame, small in
stature, with every appearance OF deli
cacy IN physique, they will take upon
the shoulders as much as five or six
men can lift, and carry it All indefn-
tie distance. Under these immence
burdens they trot instead of walking
To see a mozo climbing five or six
flights Of stairs and traversing acres
of corridors at this swift pace, with a
heavy Saratoga trunk on his back, or
to meet four poems rushing through
the city streets with a Chickering
piano on their shoulders are sights to
which we are becoming SO well used
that familiarity RODS them of their
first painfulness. These brave work
ers are so surprised and unprepared
for either pity or sympathy that We
begin to cover both with the negative
quality of indifference. Still to look

THE Earl of Salisbury, the English
Premier, has given notice that cleo
tons will be held throughout Great
Britain November II. It has been
generally understood that the British
elections would be heldin that month,
but this is the first announcement OF
the exact date. The new Franchise
act and the Few apportionment of
seats will apply to this election. With
1000, 900 new voters at the polls, and
the districts entirely rearranged, any
reliable representations as to the
result are entirely out of the question.
