How She Treats.
san Francisco Chronicle. ]

When men go together they generally
shake for the costs of the dinner. Girls
generally pay their shares. But Like to
watch the conscious superiority, the bland
importance a girl puts on when she is go
ing'to pay the check for the feast. The
affectiOnate attention she receives from
the others is a simple and efficient guide
to the purse OF the party If you have
any doubt of it watch the ostentatious
way in which the payer takes out her
purse, takes up the check and examines 1t
or asks the waiter how much it Is Watch
how they all wait upon the one who pays
They show her a Difference that is unmis-
taxable, give place to her as they approach
the counter and trot out giggling and
votedly TO the arms of the treater.
It's lovely. Eut, dear creatures, they
are chuck full of human nature and that's
what's the trouble with US all.

Horses for the Fire Department.

1t is sometimes matter of considera-
BILE difficulty to train horse to run to
a wagon. 1t is first taught to take a
position under the harness One OF the
men takes the animal and leads it be-
meath the harness, when it is suddenly
dropped on its back. The effect is some
times electrical. The horse will rear
and snort as though a thousand demons
were on top of it. But after going
through this performance for a week
the novelty wears off, the fright sub
sides and the only thing left to do is to
teach the animal to move out of his
stall quickly when the alarm is struck.
This is done by frequently tapping
the gong with stick and prodding the
horse at the same time. Its acute mind
is not long in connecting cause and eff
feet, and it shortly learns to Jump for
the wagon, whether lying or standing.
1t is very important to make the horse
appreciate the necessity of getting to the
wagon as fast as his legs can carry him,
and one that Jagged and had to be led
out of the stall would frequently
cause disastrous delay in getting
the wagon out. Every minute
after the gong strikes may be worth
so, 900 in property destroyed by fire.
About a month is usually required to
teach a green horse to become thor
ougIy competent in an engine house
BY that time they understand the the
DRY of the department, and after that
all they need is practice. There are
NAM little circumstances daily and
regularly occurring with which an old
re-hOrse will become entirely familiar
and expect, and watch and appreciate,
as though it were HUMAN being. The
horses purchased by the department
cost on an average $50, but at the end
of year they are worth fully three
times that amount. The average life
of such horse after it goes to the en-
CINE is about eight years.

The Beauties of Mexican Feather wor.

IL or. san Antonl1 IJ@hbl
While in Mexico | tried hard to find
out how they made the lovely birds on
cards which they offered for sale on the
streets. A friend took me to the house
of one of these artists 1t was little
howell, where he sat on the mud floor and
toiled Put when he heard US coming
he put. away all his work and would not
let us see it. He was an indian, with
brown skin and black, straight hair. He
wore ragged clothes and had an old
blanket to keep him warm at flight.
Foor as he was, no money would tempt
him to show us the secret process he
had learned from his father, which had
been kept in the family for hundreds of
years
Great skill is required to produce a
perfect picture. First, the Indian traces
on the card the outlines of the body of
the bird in wax, just enough for the
feathers to stick to. Then he begins at
the lower part and places them on, one
at a time, one row tapping over the.
other as a slater lays states. He works
very slowly and patiently. Perhaps
this is the secret of his perfect work,
and the reason that no other people
have been able to equal him. The re-
suit is bird that looks as though it
might sing or fly. The eyes are made
with small glass beads, and the bill and
feet are painted so nicely that they APP
pear to be part of the bird Then he
paints a twig or branch for it to rest on,
or makes one from feather, and his
work is done.

The Penalties and PeFifS of Prosperity.
charleston News and Courier.I
There are real trials of soul and spirit
that come with prosperity. The more
hardy traits of character do not always
thrive in an atmosphere of ease as I'M
der the constant stimulation of neces-
Sity. Even when man has earned his
money or his high position by persistent
effort he may find himself more slothful
and less enduring, more earthly and less
self-denying, more duly satisfied and
less high in his ideals in the lap of lux
ury than when he fought for his life,
inch by inch, with the stern proved foe
despair
In his poverty man dwells upon the
great, good things that may be wrought
by riches. Too often in his wealth he
finds the small, unworthy things more
potent to occupy his mind. The pros
porous man is sought out by the multi
tude, is made to feel the falsity of
many things through the trying test
of wealth, is beset and wearied with an
infnity of cares cast on him and with
the cold resentment of those who con-
slider every dollar of his income dol
lar taken from theirs His charities
are treated as a matter of course, his
denial of any petition is magnified into
an evidence of contemplate meanness,
his thrift is called penuriousness, his
generosity extravaganza. Certain So
cial requirements accompany wealth
and station, and if man dreams that
by attaining eminence he will escape
care he makes sad mistake.

A New Formula for Copsumpt,op.

We ore In receipt Of number Of comniu-
niCGtions on topic which just now seems
to be receiving the attention of a great many
persons. IL Is the question Of the treatment
of consumption, and all kindred diseases,
without drugs. Many years ago, In France,
It was decided by the leading physicians
that nothing was equal to beef as an article
OF diet In consumption aud all ailments
which tend to its development. This Is now
generally admitted fact. Much difficulty,
however, has been experienced IN the pro-
mitigation Of this truth, from the fact that
many stomachs cannot digest It. The indl-
gestible quality OF all cod liver oil having
led to Its being abandoned In medical treat
ment. II was found that blood taken from
an animal Just killed, II swallowed, pro-
duced marvellous beneficial effects. This
found favor with few, however, but the idea
has been put into practical operation, and
there are In all parts OF the world, to-day,
hospitals devoted to the cure OF consump-
tion, and kindred diseases, where beef
combined with alcohol, in some form, is the
chief article OF food. Efforts have been
made by those interested to keep this sim
pie remedy from the masses, partly from
selfish motives, but quite as much from the
fact that the wonderful benefits to be re-
ceived would be doubted by many II they
knew in advance what constituted the
cure. Another reason was, that It's efficacy
depends on the presence OF spirits free from
adulterations and fusel oil. In the past II
has been an article difficult to procure.
Now, however, II can be obtained, and the
communications we have referred TO are
from parties who are using formula OF
this kind received from the Duffy Malt
Whiskey Company Of Baltimore, Md. The
formula, which was prepared specially for
them by an eminent German scientist, CON
sists principally OF raw beefsteak and In
and mix, combined with their pure
malt whskey, which will, II regularly used,
add on an average 10 pounds In
month to the weight. On the receipt
Of a two-cent stamp, the formula will be
sent, to all parties using their whiskey, un-
der the seal OF the company. From the
abundance of testimony there can be no
question as to It's value. This method of
treatment is In accordance with the views
Of the two recognized leading medical au-
thorities Of this country, Professor Austin
Flint, Professor Of Principles and Practice
Of Medicine, Bellevue Hospital College, n.
Y, on the treatment of consumption, agd
Professor II. G.. Wood, Professor Of Thera-
peutics, University Of Pennsylvania, on the
special action Of all remedial agencies on
the system. The company has received so
many inquiries concerning this formula and
its fitness for the many diseases which, II
neglected, end In consumption, that they
have found IL necessary to add a medical
staff to their other business facilities, which
stall they place at the disposal Of their
patrons free OF charge for consultations.

great body OF naval officers who are timldly

they could by legitimate influence easily

the events OF the last six months certainly
demonstrate that they sometimes fail to do

country. 1t remains to be seen what view
the Congress will take of these events aud
what support II will accord the navy.

when he was fighting his own flesh

ever carried, as was said by a
Northern writer Of Gen. Lees Con-

she has her privileged classes, her
hereditary nobility, England does
not hesitate to put the highest in
the land into the fight, and the
record Of every battle she has made

with their blood their devotion to

Cleveland Sits ON an Editor.

WASHINGTON, April IA COM
mittee of self-elected colored citi-
zens called upon President CleYe-
land yesterday to present an address
asking in the name of seventy thou
sand colored people for some recog-
milton according to merit" Be-
fort their arrival some one had pro-
tested at the White House that the
chairman Of the committee, Mr..
Chase, was not the proper person
to represent the colored people of
this city on such an important mis-
sion, and had presented Colonel La
mont with a copy Of the "Bee,' IS
sued on the 18th Of November last,
in which Chase roundly abused
President Cleveland. The follow
ing is the concluding paragraph Of
the article:
1T is time for every American ne
gro in the South to make an appeal
to arms, and fire every Democratic
home where negro-killers live, from
a palace to hut, in retaliation for
the foul and dastardly murders that
were committed in the South. We
speak without fear, and in defense
of the helpless negro. It is far
more noble to die the death of a
free man that to live an ANONYMOUS
slave. The hundred and fiftY-three
electoral votes from the. South were
obtained through theft and assas-
sination schemes of the most out
rageous character were resorted to.
Under these circumstances it will
cost the lives of millions to inaugu-
rate Cleveland.
The Presidents attention was
called to the above, and he was first
inclined to refuse to see the COM
mittee; but after further inquiring
into Chase's record he was curious
to see the colored editor. The pres
ident accordingly directed Colonel
Lamont to inform the committee
that he would meet them on yester-
day. When the committee shown
into the presidents library Chase
was prepared to give the president
a sample Of his evolutionary attain
ments. Before he got fairly started
the president drew forth a copy Of
the Bee Of November Is, and asked
Chase if he was the author Of the
editorial it contained. TO say that
Mr.. Chase was somewhat surprised
and thrown off his base, is to state
the case mildly. The president
said he did not care to have any
dealings with q person who could
be guilty Of publishing such state
ment, and, moreover, such man
was not fit person to reprerent
any class of citizens, black or white.
Before the committee had recovered
from their establishment, the presi-
dent had turned to greet some other
visitors, and the committee retired.
