Feats of Jockeys.

Frank Butler remarked after one of his
races for the Derby that he could have won
ON either of the first three horses. do not
know who the other two jockeys that opposed
him were, but l can quite understand the
thing being feasible
Two men had ridden their own horses in q
race. After it was over, the winner, who only
gained the verdict by head, said to his OPP
ponent:
"Now, if you like, will change horses and
run for the same amount again, weights and
distances as before"
This the other jumped at and, after duo
law, it was run off, when, to his utter aston
ishment. the loser of the first race was again
beaten, and the losing horse successful.
Many instances are to be read of where
jockeys, after winning a race or match, have
persuaded some friend or master to buy the
horse that was opposed to them and make a
match with the winner, in which the verdict
has been reversed.
The Druid records one OF two instances in
which the Chifneys accomplished feats of this
sort. OF course sometimes it may happen
from their not considering the beaten horse
quite up to the mark at the time he ran; but
it is recorded also that in well-known cases
they have seen that he has not been so ham
died as to make the most Of him.-Chicago

Transportation of Fresh Fish.

A new method Of preserving and transport
ing fresh fish has been devised by Mr.. A. r.
Roosen, of Hamburg, and was recently tried
in England Itconsists in placing the fish in
barrels Of steel, each barrel being closed by
an air-tight lid fitted with small valve con-
nectiop, TO which is temporarily attached a
tube from small hydraulic hand pump.
With this pump water is forced into the bar
rel the air being at the same time expelled
until the guage indicates pressure of about
sixty pounds per square inch. The tube is
then disconnected and the barrel closed by
the valve. Before the pumping begins the
barrel is supplied with sufficient fish to make
the cargo, and an antiseptic solution of
per cent. of boracic acid, tartaric acid, salt
and water, with 81 per cent. of fresh water.
Fish have been brought in n fresh condition
by this plan from Montrose, Copenhagen and
the Shetland islands for London consump-
tion.-Kansas City Times.

THE INAUGURAL BALL.

The ceremonies attendant upon the
Inauguration of Governor Ross promise
to be of a brilliant character. The city
will be crowded with strangers at the
time. Waco will send throng of her
gayest and most fashionable society rep
resentatlves, while Fort Worth, Sherman,
Gainesville. Dallas, Marshall, Tyler. Pales-
tine, Houston, Galveston, San Antonio
and other places where the new governor
numbers his devoted friends by the hun
dred, will all send strong contingents.
The people of Austin, alive to this state
of fact, and themselves anxions to do
honor to the popular favorite of the peo-
pie, will see to it that his induction to the
chief magistracy is attended with eclat.
A few of the leading spirits of the city IN
such matters have already set the affair In
train. and before many days The STATES
MAN will have the pleasure of announcing
some of the details of the ceremonies.
Governor Ross will find himself in good
hands when he comes to Austin to be
crowned with the affectionate regard OF
his fellow citizens of the empire state OF
the south.

UNIVERSITY NOTES.

WHAT Is GOING ON Up ON THE
The Athenaeum is in very prosperous
condition.
DR.. Everhart has returned, and is again
hearing his classes.
DR.. Waggoner has gone to Galveston to
lecture the high schools there.
The December number of the magazine
will be out in few days. The editorial
staff has lately been considerably changed.
1t is probable the next lecture of the
course will be by Prof. Roberts. His
theme is reported to be ''The Rights of
Property"
The hop given at Turner's hall Thurs
day night was well attended and most en-
ioyable. The hop club of the university
now regularly organized, expects to have
these entertainments often.
The two literary societies met in 10 in
session to consider The selection of a
speaker to address them at commence
ment. Committees were appointed from
each, with full powers to act in the
matter.
The Athenaeum last night discussed
the question, whether the anarchists
have legally ard morally incurred the
death penalty" The question, which was
decided aflirmatively, was remarkably
we'll discussed.
Some of the boys have been attempting
the organization of foot ball clue, and
notices to "all interested" have recently
adorned the bulletin board. The talent
and taste of the students seem to be
higher, and in different sphere.

HOW PEMMlcAN is MADE.
Two Ways of Preparing 1t for Use a,
Food-"Rub-a-Boo'' and ssRoussea,n

Two ways of Preparing 1t for U,e a,
Food-"Rub-a-Boo" and ''Rousseau."
The meat, cut in long flakes from the wa,m
carcass OF the buffalo and dried in the sun, is
aiterward beaten into shreds by fails upon a
hoor OF buffalo hide on the open prairie. The
hide Is then sewed into a bag, the meat
damned IN, the top sewed up all but one cor
ner, INTO which more meat is crowded and
then the fat, which has meanwhile been tried
Is poured in scalding hot, fiji ing every crevice.
A species of cranberry is often added with
the meat. The whole forms a bolster shaped
bag, assolid and as heauy as stone, and in
TINS condition it remains, perhaps for years,
until eaten Each bag weighs from 100 to
l2O pounds. One who has tried it will not
wonder that it was once used in the turmoils
OF the contests between the Northwest and
hudson Bay companies to form redoubt,
armed with two swivel guns.
There are two ways of preparing this-one
called ''rub-a-boo," when it is boiled in a
great deal of water, and makes a soup: the
other moren favorite dish is rousseau" when
1t is thrown into a frying pan, fried in its
own fat, with the addition, perhaps, of a lit
tie salt pork, and mixed with a small amount
OF Hour or broken biscuit. But sometimes.
when philosophers are hard put to it, and
forced to take their meal in the canoe, the
pemmlcan is eaten raw; chopped out of the
bag with Ratchet, and accompanied simply
by the biscuit, which has received the sobri-
quet of "Red river granite" These wonder
full objects, as large as sea biscuit are at least
three-quarters of an inch in thickness, and
against them the naturalist's geological ham,
mer is always brought into requisition
But the "infidel dish," as rousseau is termed,
is by comparison with the others palatable,
though it is even then impossible to so dis
guise it as to avoid the suggestion of tallow
candles; and this and the leathery, OF india
rubber, structure Of the meat are its chief
disqualifications. But even rousseau may
lose its charms when taken as steady diet
three times day for weeks, especially when
it is served in frying pan, and, breakfast or
dinner over, one sees the remnants with the
beef or pork all hustled together in the boil
ing kettle; the biscuit, broken bannocks and
unwashed cups placed in the bread bag; the
plates, knives and forks tossed into the meat
dish; and all, combined in the ample folds of
an old bit of gunny cloth, which has served
daily at once as dishcloth and tablecloth,
thrown into the canoe to rest until the next
meal, when at last Billy finds time to wash
the dishes-the tablecloth never.-Frank

Iron THAT VIII Not Rust.

Much seems to be expected of a new French
method of protecting iron from rust. 1t was
first suggested by De Meritens, of electrical
fame, and consists in placing the article to be
protected in water bath at a temperature Of
from 1853 to 176 degrees, through which Is
passed an electric current OF just sufficient
strength to dscompose the water. In an hour
or two the iron acquires coating Of black
magnetic oxide, which will take brilliant
polish, and effectually resist further oxida
ton. Steel articles were readily coated in
the first trials, but success with wrought end
cast iron was only reached when distilled
water was used.-Arkansaw Traveller.

Cases of Extreme O1d Age.

Instances of extreme old age are reported
from Russia. The Novosd; q Russian jour
nal, announces the death, in the almshouse OF
st. Petersburg, Of a man aged 122 years, who
had been an inmate since 1918. His mental
faculties were preserved up to the time of his
death, and his general health was excellent to
the age of 11S, when he commenced to fail.
There Is in the same institution soldiers
widow, whose age, as shown by documentary
evidence, is at least 10 years. In our own
country, at New Holland O., Mrs. Arnold

her birth; and her two sisters are still living,
