New York Letter.

New York Letter
The biggest man in town this week il
Johnny Sullivan, the pugilist. The
pilgrimage to the wayside inn, Just out
OF the city limits, where he makes his
headquarters under a bargain by which
the bar-room receipts are divided with
him, is made by hundreds everyday.
Sporting men of high and low degree,
in wagons and afoot. make their way to
the house, and wait patiently. some.
times for hours, until the champion re-
turns from a walk. The lamentable
feature of these gatherings of worship
pers Mt the shrine Of the slug gcl is, the
presence of boys in throngs. Imagine
the burning desire of the little rascals
to grow up into prize-fighters! They
have gone into training, every one
of them, as shown by the striding
rapid gait with which they walk to the
tavern from the nearest street-car line.
An audacious urchin asked Sullivan,
the other day, what he ate and drank.
BLOOD. nothin' but blood," your three
times q day." was the reply. II drain
q boy about" The anxious inquirer es-
capped with no delay; but the words Of
the illustrious man spread among the
lads with pugiiistic ASPIRATIONS, and
they got the further belief, somehow,
that beef blood from neigliboring
slaughter.house really composed most
of his diet. A consequence quite dis
gushing to witness is that they go in
numbers to the abbatoir in ques-
ton. where the butchers provide all the
blood called for. The boys take it from
o tin cup, while it is yet warm from the
slaughtered beasts. and some of them
are able to gulp down half q pint with
out stopping for breath.
"Oh, il can't hurt 'em, and likely does
'em good, said the foreman of the place,
when doubt of the propriety of the
beverage was expressed. "Why, fine
ladies' and gentlemen have come here
afore now TO drink blood"
The fact is that some cOnsumptives
believe in the efficiency of fresh blood,
and go to the slaughter-houses to get it.
II is also true that wealthy woman got
the idea that bath of blood would
strengthen her, and she was rich and
determined enough to try the expert
ment. A barrel Of the sanguinary fluid
was brought to her house daily. and
poured into her bath-tub for her to lave
in. Whether she gained in physical
strength, is undetermined. but certainly
her brain did not recover from the per-
turbed state indicated by her nasty
bathing, for it soon became necessary
to send her to an insane asylum.

Houses that ore perfect, even in the
general arrangement and construction
of their sanitary works, are extremely
rare. Those which, having begun per-
feet, continue so under daily occupation,
are still more rare. SO true il this that
1t is sometimes asked il it is, after all,
worth while to encounter the additional
expense and the constant attention that
perfection demands; whether, indeed,
the world has not gone on so we'll in
spite of grave sanitary defects. and it il
futile to hope for an Improvement cor
responding with the cost in money!an
time. The most simple and the efficient
answer to this is that the world has not
got on we'll mt all. and is not getting on
well: that among large classes OF the
population one-half of all the children
die before they attain the age Of five
years (: that those who come to maturity
rarely escape the suffering, loss of time,
and incidental expense of unnecessary
sickness; that tho average OF all
mankind Mt death is not one-half OF
what it would he were We living under
perfect sanitary conditions; that one OF
the chief items of cost in carrying on
the WOrlu, 10 Shy iotuiHS vi tIc cost Va
burying those who die, is that of sup
porting and attending the sick and
helpless; that another great item is the
cost of raising children to or toward
the useful age, and then having them
die before they begin to make return
on the investment; that the great object
of well regulated life is to secure hap
piness for ones self and ones depend
ents, an aim which is crushed to the
earth with every death of wife, or child
or friend. There is sentimental view,
no less important, which need not be
recited; but which is sufficiently sug-
gested to the minds of all who have
had to do with the sanitary regulation
of houses by the frequency with which
their services are called into requisition
only when the offices Of the undertaken
have been performed. No cost and no
care would be too great to prevent the
constantly recurring domestic calami-
ties which have had their origin, and
which have found their development,
in material conditions that little origi-
nal outlay and constant and watchful
care would have prevented.-George Z.
Waring, in November Century.

"The winter care Of the fock," says
the Pittsburg Stockman, "is where
many new shcep-mcn mako mistakes.
II is no trouble to keep sheep through
the summer, but often inexperienced
flock masters lose half their flock in a
single winter. The reason Of this is
either carelessness, or ignorance OF the
nature and requirements Of the sheep.
The most successful winter care Of sheep
can not be undertaken without suitable
stabiing This il the first great requis.
ite. There il no use irving to keep q
sheep thriving, and at the same time
have its wool saturated with water, with
the temperature down toward zero.
Then, after seeing that you have suili-
cient shelter for your sheep, the next
most important thing is tosee that there
is an abundant supply OF hay or other
forage. Hay and fodder must he early
cut and put up in the very best con-
dition. With these preliminary prepara-
tions a flock Of sheep can he wintered
safely, cheaply and profitably. With
good hay and proper shelter sheep re.
uuire but little grain. These facts alone
should determine every shepherd to
provide proper stalling for them as al
economic measure"

own, and they are his sisters. A
girl can always tell how man
stands with his sisters: if they are
really fond Of him she may feel
almost sure that he will make
q good husband. A mother of course,
always speaks well of her son; it is not
what she says of him, but his behaviour
to her, that is to be looked to. And o
lady may feel certain of this lint,
that as man now treats his M Dher
and sisters 90 he will treat her six
months after marriage. All this may
seem very cold bloodetl, very far re-
moved from the tender feeling which
the courtship induces. But after a gir!

Rules for Winter.

The following rules, published in
Farm and Fireside, are worth needing
by those who believe that "an ounce
Of prevention is worth q pound OF

Never lean with the back upon any
thing that is cold. Never begin u
journey until the breakfast he's been
eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then i'm
mediately go out in the cold air.

Wcmau's Kealth and Beauty.

Perhaps there is no better test of q
woman's health and beauty than her
appearance when she presents herself
at an early breakfast table. She is
then more as nature made her than at
any other period of the day, when art
has been brought in with view of high
tening her charms. II she has slept

nervous system, and the effect is seen
in the brightness Of her eyes and the
tone posses ssed by the muscles Of the
face and neck. Her movements are
full of grace, for her limbs have been
refreshed and strengthened by repose,
and her mind is clear and bright, for it
also has rested, and there have been no
bad dreams to exhaust her nervous sys-
TEN and m AXE her limp and haggard.
Her intelligence is then at its maxi
mum, and she feels the mental reck-
lessness that is SO generally the result
of sound, healthy sleep, and that is on
ly a natural elation of emotions, pleas
ant, doubtless, for her to exhibit, but
far more pleasant to those to whom it
is manifested. If, ON the con-
trary, she has slept badly, or
has suffered from night mare in
consequence of feeble digestive
system, her eyes are weak, dim and
watery, her face is fabby, her head ap-

where it ought not to be pale. Her ex-
preston is Indicative of the discomfort
she has undergone during the night,

A girl, il she cannot always choose,
can always refuse. and generally her
difficulty is this: It is evident that
this man is making love to me. I do
not love him, but think might do so
if I choose; shall 1 choose or shall 1
forbear? II is here that the power of
choice comes in, and it is here that the
voice of prudence must lie heard IL it is
to be heard at all. In such circamstan-
ces girl will act wisely If she pays
considerable attention to the general
opinion that is held of the gentleman in
question by his professional brethren or
his business acduaintances. 1t is, in
short. not the man who is agreeable
among women. but he who is we'll liked
