The Great West Leads the World.

Il was at Fort Keogh one summer
not long ago. when an explosion oc
Cured in the boiler, which blew it some
distance from the fort into swamp.
The men started after it. When they
got there the mosquitoes were so thick
that it was found impossible to work.
The men got inside the boiler, and the
mosquitoes punched their stingers right
through the plated iron. The men
clinched the bills on the inside and
kept on clinching them until hundreds
aud hundreds of mosquitoes were fast
ened to the boiler The men built a
fire inside of the boiler to scare of the
other mosquitoes, and the latter started
to fly away.
.'Of course those that were fastened
tried to fly with the rest, and actually
carried the heavy boiler and the men
out of the swamp and on to the dry
land. After that it was no trick to haul
the boiler into the fort. How did they
get rid of the mosquitoes bills? Why,
they just filed them off close and left
them there. st. PauL Globe.

For Whales or Wild Fowl.

A double-barreled gun has recently
been made for the Duke of Sutherland's
steam yacht, mounted on a pivot. and
the total length is tifty-three inches. the
weight being 115 pounds. One barrel
is lItied and the other is smooth-bore.
1t IS intended principally for killing
whales. although it may be used for
sharks, porpoises, sunfish, etc. 1t will
fire a ten-ounce explosive bullet of steel,
or n thirteen-ounce solld shot. There is
also a harpoon TO be fired from the
smooth-bored barrel The explosive
bullet viii doubtless be very effective
instrument when used against whales.
as it is said it will tear away sufficient
piece of the animal to insure its death,
while the harpoon viii serve to secure
the carcass. For this purpose 1t has at
tached to it flexible steel wire rope
wound on reel. The explosive bullet
and the harpoon are to be fired stimuli
taneoasly. 30 that while one kills the
quarry the other secures it. The gun
can also be used for wild-fowling.--

Coffee Eating bit.

A correspondent Of the Medical and
Surgical Reporter mentions the case of
a young woman of twenty-five who had
acquired the habit of eating roasted
coffee beans. Though the habit was
only of four months standing, she had
eaten as much as a half a pound day,
and had only decreased to four ounces
per day on the earnest solicitation of
friends. The effect on her healthy had
been that she became pale. sallow and
nervous; the pulse weakened, the stom-
ach got out of order. and, among other
symptoms. there was marked dyspnea
IN goin- up stairs An attempt to stop
the habit was followed in few hours
by intense nervousness. trembling, and
a strong desire for coffee.

The Tongue in Disease.

One of our medical contemporaries
states that different complaints are indi-
Gated by the condition Of the tongue, as
follows:
A white-coated tongue indicates feb
rile disturbance; a brown moist tongue
indicates disordered indigestion or over
loaded prime yi@; brown dry tongue
indicates depressed vitality, as in ty-
phoid conditions and blood-poisoning
red moist tongue indicates debility, as
from exhausting discharges; a red dry
tongue indicates pyrexia, or an infam-
matOry fever; a strawberry" tongue
with prominent papille indicates scar
let fever or rotheln; red glazed tongue
indicates debility. with want of assimil-
ative power of digestion; a tremulous,
tlabby tongue indicates delirium trem-
eEs; hesitancy in protruding the tongue
indicates conclusion of the brain; pro
trusion at one side indicates paralysis of
the muscles of that side.

{ Millionaire Who Gets Fat on Work.

"a good many people wonder" said
an employee of Armour &Co., ''why Mr..
Armour works so hard. They can't un-
derstand it because they do not know
the man. Every morning he gets here
at ESQ or 6:45-never later than the
latter hour He begins work immedi-
ately and keeps it up until 6 clock in
the evening. Some of the men are here
as early as 6:30, but the most of them
come at o'clock or half-past. They
work until 6, and are all willing to do
SO. The hours are long for office work,
but the men are well paid and well
treated. Armour prides himself in hav
inc about him one of the finest lot of
lieutenants to be found in business cir
cles IN this country. There is a head
for every department-for the city sales,
the foreign trade, the dressed beef, the
canned goods, the glue factory, the
butterine, the car service, the travelling
men, etc. Armour works early and
late, but he is never hurried. He takes
plenty of time for everything. He is
never worried and, therefore, enjoys his
work and thTives on it.

Housekeeping in Mexico.

The bread consumed in the City of
Mexico is all bought at the public bake
shops, and made in the French way.
Each day opens a new chapter in do
mestic affairs, only provisions enough
being bought to last through, so that at
night the larder is as bare as the cup
board of Mother Hubbard. There is no
trust in Mexico, and the head of the
house who neglects to leave a pile of
silver dollars with his wife produces
famine in short order. The grocer,
meatman, charcoal vender, and fruit
dealer all do a cash business, and no
money no food. A few rich men have
practical monopoly of the meat business.
The beef of the city is brought from
Vera Cruz and Guanajuato, about 200
head day being killed, cattle being
worth from S25 to S45 head. Mutton
is in universal use, and is better than
beef. Some choice carloads of mutton
have lately been shipped through from
New Mexico at a good profit
One rich man controls the pork mar
ket, and the extent of his monopoly is
shown by the fact that he hires seventy
five telephones, which place him in
communication with dealers who act as
his agents. This monopolist also makes
the tallow-dips that are in universal use
among the poorer people. The better
class of Candles by the way, are I'M
ported from France and Germany; and
the enterprising American who will
take a bright Mexican partner and 60
into scientific candle-making, ought to
be in the way of making money. There
are no good fish in the market, but the
game is excellent. The necessaries of
life are high, with good butter selling at
81 pound, milk 20 cents quart, tea
g. 80 pound, chocolate 40 cents. lump
sugar -! cents, potatoes 81 cents a
pound, and kerosene 81 cents a gallon.
An enterprising American widow and
her daughter, by the way, are making
good butter and selling it at q handsome
profit. Francisco Bulletin.

AN electrical tree is reported found in
New Guinea by two German explorers.
When the explorers reached a spot twelve
days distant from the coast they found
their compasses useless, owing to the
presence OF tree which so completely
possessed the properties of a highly
charged electric battery that one of the
travellers was knocked down when he
touched it.
