DIET OF a WALL STREET SAGE.
The Way the Great '.Put and CaII''
Expert Operates His Food.

Howard Irving Smith in The Cook.
1t is the practice of most people who
have three meals day to make one of
them light. Mr.. Sage makes hearty meals
of them all, and his good digestion makes
the whole three of them enjoyable He re-
tires at 10 or 1880 o'clock. In the summer
he arises at $50 and has breakfast an hour
later. His time for arising in winter is Z,
and his breakfast is served at 8. The meal
comprises steak or chop, as a rule, a
baked pOtatOe and roll. These things are
invariably accompanied by wheaton grits
In speaking of his fOndneSS for gritS, Mr.
Sage said: Il take grits 365 days in the
year, and they always agree with me-
eat what agrees with ME and eschew what
does not. Six months in the year I have
baked or stewed apples for breakfast.
Fruit am fond of and always find it bene-

such as one expects to ind in the country,
surrounded with the romance of milk and
honey. Coffee is taken at breakfast and
tea at supper. Occasionally Mr.. Sage has
tea served at his lunch. In the summer,
however, his midday meal is accompanied
with claret In the winter he adopts a
practice peculiarly his own. After hiS
breakfast he takes a tablespoonful of good
old bourbon whiskey in Apollinaris. 1T
is a first-rate tonic, he says.
MI. Sage takes exercise, which he deems
as necessary to his health as regularity in
his habits He likes ox.,,e
splendid horses. His time for driving in
the summer is in the afternoon at the close
of business. He takes an hour or an hour
and half on the road. In the winter the
drive is taken after breakfast, as it is dark
by the time he gets up from his Office in
the afternoon.
He is not addicted to the use of tobacco.
In his bOyhoOd he lighted a cigar and
pulled away, until sensation stole over
him that made earth, and even circuses,
lose their charm for him.

that he bases his opinions on the Scrip
tural text that ''The Sabbath was made for
man." He holds that when Christ said 1.-THE
Sabbath was made for man." He meant to
convey the idea that the Sabbath was made
for the cultivation and development of all
that is highest, noblest, purest, best i'm man.
He calls attention to q very common error
that prevails regarding the poor. They are
spoken of as if they We're, by way of dis
tinction. the Sabbath breakers. 1t is not
so. AS it was 800 years ago, so il is to-
day: our worst Sabbath breakers are found
not among the poor. They are to be found
rather among the heightened and seemingly
religious people of our city communities.
What the poor need is help. not restriction.
Working long hours. unhealthy lodged.

beauty, they need fresh air and the stimu-

such change may be had, at least one day

lie would have Sunday free day for the
people, and wants them 30 go to the eoun-
try, the parks, to the museums, or where
ever they can find relaxation and pleasant
enjoyment Then he says, Let the churches
follow them to the convenient places of pub
lie resort. Let the services be conducted
with brevity and skill, and above all let the
preaching be of the best. The trouble
about the churches is that they have not
taught-that they do not seek-the people
Only the minority of the working classes in
our cities attend the churches. We have
neglected the people, and now the people
angrily repudiate the orthodox definition of
the day, viz: The day was made for the
churches 1t is sad fact and one which
calls for serious consideration, that our
costly and splendid church corporations pro-
vide neither accommodation nor welcome.
neither for the people, so-called, nor for
their children. Our duty is to win them
back TO proper views of the LORDS day.
We cannot drive them"
Rev. HEBER NEWTON adds his voice to
that of DIR. RAINsFoRD in favor of keep
ing open public places of innocent amuse-
ment for the entertainment of the masses.
They all agree in deprecating the idea of
transforming the Sabbath into day of
business, but insist that the Sabbath shall
be preserved as a day of rest and innocent
recreation and shall be used for the noblest
purposes. If people cannot be brought into
the churches, the aim seems to be TO bring
them within the influences of those things
which are good and ennObling. If the Sab
bath should ever cease to exist and there
are seven days of toll, the workingmen will
have no difficulty in understanding the text.
1.-The Sabbath was made for man." 1t would
then become painfully plain.

CHASING THE DEVIL ElsH.
The Great Sport They Have Around
Tampa.

New York Times,
Next to tarpon fishing, in point OF excite
ment, comes the chase of the devil fish. Up
around Tampa and all along the Gulf coast
you find them, and if they don't remind you
of their namesake then | am mistaken.
They look like great bats, and some call
them the bat fish. You can form some idea
of how they look if you imagine bat over
board measuring, say twenty feet across
from tip to tip, with tail perhaps ten feet
long, shaped like a cowboys whip. Give it
two hOrnlike claspers at the head, and you
have the sea devil in all his glory. Green
hands often strike them, not knowing what
they are, and are generally jerked overheard
for their pains or have to cut the line. Some
years ago one appeared in harbor whers
several schOOners were lying, and the sailors,
who were SwedeS, and had never seen one
OF the fish before, saw it playing around
mthe harbOr, and thought IL would be good
joke to spear it. So they took a light
skih and pair of old whale harpoons and
ropes that belonged to the schooner and
started out, and were joined by the other
boats. In short time one of the boats got
alongside OF the sea bat and rouser it was,
too. When they struck it you'd have
thought the whole bottom had been hit.
and a second later that boat was rushing I'D
1t was bind lead. though, and the fish
had to turn, and the skitf was jerked around
so quickly that she half filled, and one man
was tumbled overheard. Up the channel
they went, some yelling for the other boat
and others to cut the line, as it was evil
dent that she would fill in a moment; but
it happened that the only man who had
knife had been dropped overheard, and as
they couldn't get the line united they had
to let it go. They said afterward they
We're about to jump overheard and let every
thing go when the fish changed its course
and headed right for one of the schooners.
They had to jump then, anyhow, and as
they went overheard the fish dived under
the vessel and the skiff struck her side
with crash, and was knocked all to
pieces. The end plank, as they found out
later, to which the line was made fast.
went off with the fish. The men were
picked up, and two days later the devil
fish fOated ashore. 1t measured about
eighteen feet across, and it was estimated
to weigh ton. So, if you want comb-

per cent. in the cost of building
materials these figures cover only
work within the old city limits.
That part of the city including Merriam
and Union Parks. Hamline and other points
embraced within the recent extension do
not appear in the total for the reason that
they were not included when the year
closed. Over $1,000, 000 was expended in
public improvements. Two new railroad
systems have been added to those previously
converging here and several others are on
the way. In the year 1884 great facilities
were added to the water supply. The great
conduit, four and half miles long, was
completed. as also the pumping sta
ton. Six and one-half miles of low
service and nine and three-fourths
miles of high service mains were
laid. The financial condition of the
city is A l. The directory shows that there
has been no pause in the onward movement

has been a marked increase in the number

of sales in st. Paul was S74, S29, 200, a gross
increase of more than So, 600, 900 over the

nearly 100 in the number of manufac-
turing establishments and a gross in
crease of nearly So, 900, 900 in the
value of products. The number of
failures has been surprisingly small,
including not one firm of leading import

be enormous, making st. Paul the recog-

A Big lob on Hand.

PHILADELPHIA, July 11.-One of the
chief executive officers of the Pennsylvania
Railroad company was asked to-day
whether there was any foundation for the
reports that negotiations are in progress
between his company and the New York
Central railroad with view of settling
the existing differences which have been
the leading element in the lOng-pending
breach between the two great trunk lines.
He replied that such negotiations have been
begun, and that favorable progress towards
settlement has been made, but that
the subject is one of such magni-
tude that hasty steps cannot be taken.
From other and reliable sources il is learned
that an honest and determined effort is be-
ing made by parties in interest to solve the
difficult problem to eliminate those power
full factors in dissensiOn, the West Shore
and South Pennsylvania railroads. The
South Pennsylvania people. it is under
stood, have demanded liberal compensation
for their enterprise, but it is not inferred
they will become parties to the scheme.

THE bestowal of a peerage upon Sir Ma
THANIEL DE RoTHsCHILD marks an epoch in
the progress of tolerance and liberal thought.
1t was only in the prime of the generation
that is now passing away that professed Jew,
who had been duly elected, was allowed to take
his seat in the house of commons. As the
Earl of Beaconsfeld, though of Jewish lineage,
was not of the Jewish faith, Sir NATHANIEL

religion. This action of the British govern

Chicago & Northwestern Extension.

The Chicago & Northwestern extension
of the Sioux City IL Pacific and fremont.
ElkhOm & Missouri valley road will be
completed to Chaldron, the crossing on the
White river, by July 10. From Chaldron
to, Rapid City, in the Black Hills, the ter
minus OF the new extension, it is but ninety
miles, which is now being graded, and the
greater part OF which will be completed be-
fore the snow flies. By the construction of
this extension through Nebraska, the
Northwestern will get to the Black Hills
without going through the Indian reserva-
ton. This line is bur forty miles longer
than the proposed line to the
Black Hills by Pierre, which could
not be built owing to the inability to secure
the right-Of-way through the reservation.
The distance from Pierre to Rapid City is
about 240 miles, and this line will also be
built as soon as the right-of-way through
the reservation can be secured, which will
give the Northwestern two direct routes to
the Black Hills
The Northwestern has also completed
new line from Belvidere, ILL.,, to Pierre, La
Sale and Spring Valley, three miles west
of Pierre. The road is eighty miles long,
and is called the Northern Illinois division.

How to Learn clog nanc;,g

In teaching clog dance the first thing is
is to teach the pupil how to roll the feet as
it is technically called. This is the kew of
the whole business and when dancer can
dO this successfully the remainder of the
lesson is comparatively easy.
holllng ones foot is merely raising the
hip, turning the foot in and striking the toe
on the floor. The whole motion must he
gone through with grace and without effort
The right side of the body is generally more
flexible than the left, simply because it has
been used more freely.
The distinguishing characteristic of the
clog dance is the clear, bell-like tap of the
toe or heel on the floor. The slightest shuf
ling ruins the effect, while in jig dancing
shutting is the prime merit. In the iig the
sand is rolled on for what may be called the
music, while in the clog the shoe makes the
melody. Jmgles are inserted in a great
many clogs.
Jlngles IN many cases are made of the
old-fashioned copper cent. A hole is cnt i'm
the heel of the clog and a cent set in so that
its broad side is flush with the surface of the
heel. Then it is fastened through the mid
die with a screw and is left to play loosely
i'll the socket There was time when il
was necessary to go to England to see the
clog dancing in its glory. The people over
there take much more interest in such things
than we do, and the judging between the
comparative merits of two dancers is con-
sidered a very serious piece of business.
The judges generally retire into the cellar
under the stage, there to remain until both
danfers have separately gone through
series of steps. They have no knowledge.
of course, as to which dancer makes the frsi
exhibition, and as the ringing of the clogs
is even more distinct under than above the
floor, the merits of the dance can be thus
readily judged without possibility of the
judges seeing the dances and allowing theiI
decision to be biased by personal prejudice.

THE MARKETS.

The stock market still continued steady
and strong all day for the general list, with a
boom for the Vanderbilts and the West
ern Union. The cause of the boom Of
the former stocks was simply the con-
tinuation of the advance of the day before,
caused by the report of the settlement of
difficulties with several other roads. The
Western Union boom was caused by the
downfall of an opposition line and the gather
ing in of the wreck by the former. Wheat at
Chicago was very little stronger and adj
vanced &c. At st. Paul it was dull and un-
changed. AT Minneapolis it was lower.
