HOW TO REDUCE WEIGHT.
A Simple aud Practical Hint In Regard to
Slow Eating.

Do not try it. The Field is anxious to in
duce hunting men to adopt measures to re-
duoe the weight for the saddle. This is our
advice on the subject. Rest assured no
measure will suffice which is not injurious
to health. One man will put on weight with
very little food, while another will under
mine his stability by a reduction which APP
pears TO be moderate. The simple and
golden rule is to eat slowly and masticate
the food taken thoroughly, 80 that there
may be time for the organism to make
known its satisfaction with the supply plac-
ed at its disposal before the stomach is over
loaded. The mistake made by hunting men
and others who, to use common express.
sion, are as hungry as hunters" is that of
coming home exhausted aud eating raven
ously. By this haste no time is allowed for
the organic needs Of the eater to cry,
Hold, enoughw 1t is like emptying a
whole scuttleful of coal on the fire when il
is only in need of few dexterously placed
Jumps. The digestive organs being in fair
ly good working order the repletion is not
resented, as it would be by weakly "dys-
peptic," and muscle aud fat are laid on In
excess. If we only nte more deliberately,
we should find half our accustomed quanti-
ty Of food sufficient TO satisfy the most
eager cravings of hunger What we call
appetite" Is a most misleading sensation.
It is only remotely related to the actual de-
mands of tho organism. Let hunting men,
and men of all classes who lead healthy,
active lives, resolve to eat and drink slowly.
With the single precaution they will soon
find that the tendency to weigh" dimin-
isles, while the appetite being disciplined
unconsciously by the formation of the habit,
it will be needless, as 1t is useless, to live
by rule as regards the nature or quality of
food taken.

The Butterflies.
Look at the butterfiiesI Purposeless things
How Idly they float on their gossamer wingsl
Over the peoples and over the grass,
Light as the down OF a thistle they pass
Where are they going, and why are they here
In the heat OF the day and the noon OF the year
They fiutter awhile In the brightness, and thei
They are gone from our sight and they come not
again.
And we've are wearied with fever and FROST
Whatever we do, 1t must be at cost;
We hear, as we journey, the dropping OF tears;
We bear on our foreheads the stamp OF the years
But look at the butterflies, -beautIful things
Before US and over US flashing their wings
1t may be the Maker who fashioned them thus,
Has sent the gay creatures on errands to u.s.
Perhaps we go slowly, when we should be swift
To follow the scent of the roses, that drift
Their pink snow about us; more oft we nigh,
play,
And yet finish our tasks by the end OF the day.
oh, best are the eyes that are clear to behold
The wonderful glow OF the butterflies gold,
With leisure to follow their night as they pass
10 gracefully, silently, over the grassl

THEY WANTED MUSIC.
The Singers Experience with tho Cow.
boys.


One incident which broke in on the mo.
notony of the trip with startling effect &C.
Cured last Monday at Coolidge, New Mex
leo. The train had stopped and Mr.. Thomas
and some of the other gentlemen had left
the cars for the purpose of making some
purchases. There was a crowd of some
twenty or so cowboys, in the full regalia of
the plains, at the station, and when they
found out that the train was special and
That the passengers were musicians, they de-
termined to have some music. Charles
Locke says "The chief cowboy yelled
for tho head man of the party, and
when Mr.. Thomas was pointed out to him
faced him with the remark:
"' We have not even seen o circus this
year and We want some music
All right said Mr.. Thomas The
man who told you that we were musicians
shall play for YOU
The man started for his instrument.
Then the cowboys had discussion as to
what the tune should be. They were all
much amused by the affair. First they fav-
ored Home, Sweet Home but the greater
number wanted the 'Arkansaw Traveller
So they had that in good shape. Finally
the ladies in the special car were spied, and
the leader demanded:
"' Now give us some singing
'The leader first asked Miss Juch, who
answered that her contract with tho mana
ger prevented her from singing unless at his
instruction.
Look here said the cowboy, that
won't do. We don't care for your contract.
Now, If the men outside should begin to
shoot, don't you think that you would singY
e He drew out his pistol as joke. Then
Miss Juch put her head out of the window
and sang to the cowboys, who nodded mp
proval. But she had only fairly begun to
sing when the train started OUT
Emma Juch, who visits this city now for
the first time, is a pretty and petite blonde.
In describing the cowboy affair, she said :
Madame Materna had advised us to all
sing in concert, but when the cowboys be-
gan to draw their pistols she screamed,
threw up her hands and rushed to her apart
ments, followed by Heinrich, and locked
the door
=" You've got to sing if she DON'T" yell
ed the cowboy, and he began to handle that
pistol in manner that made my blood run
cold.
:" Come, all ready Sing or we will dis
tribute some leaden pills around here in
short order and some one will get hurt.
go Well, said l, If must sing, sup
pose may as well Begin BY this time the
violinists had taken out their instruments,
and, with trembling hands, tried to play.
The cowboys danced and swung their pis-
tolls and called out for me to sing. Well, /
had nothing else to do but to sing, and sing
did, but just then the train began to
move and the cowboys retired with whoops
and yells You don't know how we were re-.
lieved when we saw that awful band left
behind. know we shall none of us grow
for whole year."-iSan Francisco Alta.

We clip the following from an ex-
change and we think the mar who
wrote It knew how to tell the truth:
after ali Germany is the potential
factor in the settlement Of European
disputes To that nation the great pow
ers Of England, Russia and Austria have
committed the work OF preparing a plan
for the settlement Of the Bulgarian
question. The great prominence which
Germany now occupies is due TO the
master mind Of Bismarck. 1t was his
genius which brought about a consolida-
ton of the German states and elevated
his royal master, Wilhelm, toan imperial
throne which has no rival. Bismarck
is a greater genius than Napoleon Bona
parte was. His methods and tactics
have been different from those Of the
famous Frenchman, but the results Of his
life are grander. The work he has, done
is permanent. He has made Germany
what Napoleon aimed to make France.
But in bringing about these results the
German statesman has avoided the mis-
takes Of the French soldier. He has
never risked the chances Of a Water
loo"

Judic's smoky-Topas Eyes.

Hereis something that attracted our
attention and we give it to u readers
justto show what power there is in the
pen to draw pictures when it is grasped
by the hand of IN artist:
"Judic's charm is not theatric, says
rym Criukte, in the New York World.
We might us welt get that right at once
Hers is, in an extraordinary degree, the
fascination OF an individual that defies
the mimetic conditions Of the stage.
She is Judic in any role and in all
costumes. And il Is because Judic is in
herself a sufficient an ample charm that
she can assume any role and defy it.
The two trivial musical comedies Of
"Nitonche' and "Lili" in which she has
appeared have shown Ills an actress
whose mimetic grasp is narrow and
feeble.
Given . woman like Judic, with the
most extraordinary eyes, dovelike in
expression and smoky-topaz in color, it
is difficult to talk about her art. At the
best il is comedy in the cleaning. A
quiet, simple atmosphere surrounds it,
and one is glad that the theatric SUI has
set for the time being.
III IL were not Tor -ner eyeS one might
talk rigidly about her figure, so matron-
ly that 'Mam'selIe' sits clumsilv on it
like her panier; SO graciously dignified
that Animation looks like an imperti-
nence SO rectangular at the shoulders,
30 apoplctic at the neck. so dispropor-
'tionate at the arms and ankles, that
ones gaze wanders over it as it might
over war map Of comedy and wonders
where the French attributes reside.
But her eyes determine everything.
Presently she comes demurely to the
footlights--mind you, always demurely.
A raspberry wouldn't melt in her
mouth, and lift did you couldn't tell it
from the mouth. Then she turns on
her eyes. AT that point judgment sub
sides and admiration wakes up. IL is
useless to reason here. Judic may be

To The Readers of The Chronicle,
1t is generally understood, and the fact
has been announced, that Mr.. A. d.
Clark, the former editor Of this paper,
pulled out Of the concern on the 2Sth
day Of September to start a paper on his
W account at Buffalo Gap. If any one
should ask you who is doing the editori-
al work on the CHRoNicLE since that time,

and, whether good or bad, strong or
weak, witty or foolish, he is responsible
for what is written. But says one,
! thought you were a miner, l never
knew You to- be a newspaper man.
Well, 80 I am a miner, and never was
q newspaper man before. But a man
that can run q mine and mill in good
shape ought TO be able to attend to n
little job like this, especially in a min
ing camp. Besides having crossed the
plains i'm 1852, and having made my
home in tile rockies for the most part
esveresince, l have learned to do a good
many things. In fact most everything
except to lie and steal, and another
thing I came near forgetting to state, l
never learned to preach the gospel.
Still like the drunken man that was
seen leaning against a Methodist meet
ing house, he said he was not a method
list but he leaned that way. Just SO, l
have always leaned towards a printing
office. From the daily press have re-
ceived most of what education | have,
and the typos have always been my
friends, and what may seem strange to
some, | never noticed that / suffered by
the association. So | have laid down
the pick and shovel for awhile and
taken up the pen. And the reason l
have not announced it before is because
i Just took hold to help a friend in a
pinch, and having other things in view
/ did not mean to stay, But having
roughed it a good many years, been on
a good many stampedes and slept in so
many wet blankets, | find I can't stand
as much rs I once could, and as the

gether, / have concluded to hive up for

tive, newsy and entertaining paper We
