Gallagher wanted to increase the sal
airy OF Sanitary Inspectors from $50 to
$50 per month.
McAllister seconded the motion, which
was lost.
Twenty Thousand dollars was set apart
as contingent fund, this making the
total estimated expenses OF the year
S242.4l7.
The Com mittee of the Whole then
arose and reported progress, the Mayor
resuming the chair.
Degener called attention TO the fact
that last year the Council had borrowed
100000 and issued $4,000 bonds in con-
PREVENTION of section 40 of the City
Charter.
Belknap replied that the opinion OF
the City Attorney had been taken in the
matter.
French-This objection offered by the
alderman is altogether technical and has
just as much force in it as section 43 re-
garding the money raised for special
funds. 1t was said here by one of the
aldermen in the committee OF the whole
that he wants record of this matter re-
garding the wages. therefore now re-

The budget was then adopted unani-
mously.
The Mayor-The finsnce committee,
in their report, recommend the city to
pursue the same financial policy as in the
last year.
Degener called on the City Attorney to
give his opinion on the legality of the
city borrowing more than $4,000, and
that official sustained the finance COM
mittee in their action.
The report was finally adopted, Dege-
ner, French and McAllister voting nay.

He'd Choose 20 be q Baby.

The following story was told at the
recent encampment of the Grand Army
at Mexico, Mo. A group around one Of
the numerous camp-fres were relating
incidents of bravery and cowardice
shown in battle, and this is one of them:
at was at the battle of Gettysburg"
said the speaker, when the bullets
were falling like hail, and the shells
were shrieking and bursting over our
heads in a way to make the bravest
heart tremble. private dropped out of
the ranks aud skulked back to the rear.
He was well under way, when, unfortu-
nately for him, he was met by General
Slocum coming to the front.
What are you doing herea Get
back to your post, the General shouted.
"The poor fellow stopped still and
trembled like leaf, but made no reply.
Get back to your post, you miser-
able coward; aren't you ashamed OF
yourself to be skulking back here when
you should be in the front with your
brave comradesT
Still the man made no reply. but
commenced to cry like a year-old infant.
You infamous, sneaking coward,
back to your post; I'll ride you down
like dog. Why. you are nothing but
a baby
1-Lrn t-t-t-tell you what, g-g-gen.

g-g-g-give anything just n-n-now if
was a b-b-baby, and i-i-n I had my
ch-ch-choice I'd r-r-rather be . female

Shying Horses.

This trick or vice is; generally the
effect of nervous timidity, resulting
from an excitable temperament. It is
aggravated by improper handling. To
punish horse for shying introduces a
new cause of fear. The horse will be
more alarmed and show more tokens of
fear at the prospect of a whipping than
at the imaginary object of danger in
the road. Hence one bad habit Is con-
firmed by the introduction of another.
1t is impossible to whip terror out of a
horse or pound courage into one. Kind
ness and gentle persuasion are the best
weapons to correct the pernicious habit
of shying. The less fear exhibited by
the driver, and the less notice taken Of
the shying by using harsh means, the
sooner it will be given up. A careful,
experienced horseman can generally
detect an object likely to cause ner-
vous horse to shy, and by word or
touch viii encourage him to pass it un-
noticed. When this fails, give him time
to look at the object of fear; pat him
and coax him up to it, then take him
past it two or three times, till he takes
no notice of it
When defective sight is the cause of
this bad habit it is incurable, and if
the eyesight is failing, the horse for
ordinary driving and riding will be per-
fectly useless. A mare we knew had
gone quietly in harness for two or three
years suddenly took to jumping the
white stone crossings of an ordinary
macadamized street, as if they were
water brooks. In three months she was
stone blind.-Scientifc american.

He Laughs Bes. Who Laughs Last

Aimee, the vivacious. tells of. an ex-
perience she had in Lonworth, Texas,
with a real cowboy. This fellow opened
the entertainment by laughing very
coarsely whenever the. actress spoke.
She managed to get through the scene,
and appealed to the manager of the
theater for protection. The little man
said that as the cowboy seemed to be
surrounding by admiring friends he
thought it would not be wise to attempt
his removal Besides. the Texan theat-
rical code forbade interference with the
audience after the admission money had
been paid. Aime is not easily abashed,
and she decided on her course. When
she went ON again she got as near the
rowdy as the limits of the stage would
permit. He began his laughing, and
his friends joined in. So did the ac-
tress. She stood still, and, pointing an
expressive finger at him, laughed as
though immensely amused. The cow
boys face changed and his laugh stop
ped Aimee's didn't. She held her
sides and laughed and laughed at the
man. He grew red in the face and
looked uncomfortable. Still the actress
laughed, and by this time the audience
was roaring with her, all eyes turned on
the unfortunate Texan. He couldn't
stand it. Abashed and thoroughly
cowed the cowboy rushed for the door.
followed by great shout, and was not
seen again that evening. The play then
went on smoothly.-NeO York Sun.

A Grecfan Bathing-Room.

Among the rooms which cluster about
the megaron at Tryns Is one of quite
unique interest This is small cham
ber-in size some ten feet by twelve
whereof the floor is formed of single
gigantic slab of stone weighing about
twenty tons, and the walls were VAIN
scoted with solid and close-ftting
planks. A gully at the corner, evident
ly made for the exit of water, at once
suggested that this was once q bath
room, and no other theory seems tena-
BILE. That Homer's heroes, like Greeks
of later times, betook themselves to the
baths before they they went to dine in
the hall is well known to all scholars,
and here again excavation gives ma
terial confirmation to the poets words,
But it does more than confirm, it also
explains. Homer speaks of the chiefs
as repairing to the cuzesta GsGDinth0t,
and the commentators have variously
interpreted the phrase in the light rather
of their own ingenuity than of compara-
tive archaeology. But fragment of a
large terra Gotta vessel, evidently used
in bathing, has come to light at Tiryns.
proving beyond reasonable donbt that
the bathing customs of the Homeric
Greeks differed but little from those
which the representations on vases show
TO have prevailed in historical times. In
the midst of the floor of the bathroom
was placed a large vessel full of warm
water. In this, after laying aside his
clothes, the bather sat, or over it he
covered, while a bathing man ladled
over him the water, which, falling on
the floor, ran away by the sink in q
corner of the room. After the washing
came rubbing and oiling. 1t is. how
ever, to be observed that the place of
the bathing man is in the Homeric de-
scriptions supplied by a woman, some
times even high-born lady. At Pylos.
Polycasta. youngest daughter of Nestor.
bathes and dresses young Telemachus.
Helen bathes Odysseus when he comes
to Troy as a spy, and recognizes him In
bath BY personal marks, as does old
Nurse Euryclea at a later period. 1t
seems to be a mark of the extreme
modesty of the same hero \ that he de-
clines to be bathed by the maidens Of
Nausica. Thus always. when we COM
pare Homeric and later Hellenic GUS
toms, we find strong iikenesses and
sharp contrast, presenting to the his
torian and anthopologist one of the
most fascinating of fields for study, a
field which they can not as yet be said
to have half occupied.-The Quarterly
ReUieIU.

In the course of lecture on Kew
Gardens, recently delivered at the West
minister Friends Meeting House, Lon
don, J. G. Baker said the total number
of characteristically tropical plants
known to science might be roughly esti-
mated at from 10000 to $4,000. The
plants of the north temperate zone COM
prise about 10000 species. THE total
flora of the arctic zone does not reach
1000 species, and the plants which are
confined to the higher levels OF the
mountains of the north temperate zone
may possibly be twice as numerous, III
all 1000 species of what gardeners call
alpines, that is, plants specially adapted
TO n cold, damp climate with q short
summer" The same speaker estimates
the total number of plants represented
in the British possessions at 10000 spe-

The Beautiful Miss chamberl.in.

y Miss Chamberlain is now 2S years
old, and is the daughter Of Mr.. William
Chamberlain, of Cleveland, O., and the
granddaughter of Mr.. Zelah Chamber
lain, who was one Of the wealthiest re-
sidents of that city. Her mother was
Miss Wilson, also of Cleveland. Mrs.
Chamberlain owns many lots In the city
of Cleveland which were for many years
poor property, but which four years ago
rose suddenly in value and made her q
rich woman. But Miss .Chamberlsin's
position as an heiress is due to her
grandfather, s'old Zelah Chamberlain, {"
as he is known. For many years he
held in his possession Minnesota state
bonds to large amount, ON whose in
terest the state had defaulted. One day
about ten years ago the Minnesota legis-
lature resolved TO pay this back interest
to certain amount. This was tele-
graphed to Mr.. Chamberlain by q
friend, and the latter Immediately hired
special engine and steamed to ST.
Paul, arriving there before any other
bondholders, and receiving the full
amount due him.
1t was after this little episode and in
the summer of 1881 that the Chamber
lains decided to spend q summer in
Newport, whittier they repaired with
their daug liter, and there she made her
debut. She attracted considerable at
tention from her slight but perfectly
formed figure, her delicate. pearly COM
plexion. her rich brown hair and eyes,
small and perfect mouth, and her nat
uralness of manner and conversation.
Going from Newport to London, she
made a success at once upon her en-
trance there the following season, and
it was not long before it was reported
that the prince of Wales was devoted to
her. Many exaggerated stories. of her
friendship with the prince have since
been publicly told. but no charge of any
departure from perfect propriety of con-
duct has ever been made against her,
despite the gauntlet of envious eyes and
tongues she has constantly been obliged
to run. The story told of her that she
first called the prince Jumbo" while
amusing is hardly true. as he had long
been known as dummy" among a
certain set of his associates, nickname
which the duke of Portland also holds.

The ranges of the West are claimed
and occupied to such an extent that
there are no longer opportunities for the
introduction of large herds. One who
wishes now to engage in the business
must purchase range and the herd oc-

caused capitalists to look elsewhere for

white man and of good standing in this
town, and he ought to be found out.
am afraid of him only in one way, and
that is he will burn me up while asleep.
1 hope whoever it may be when he reads
this he will stop, as he is called a puppy,
and is not man enough to resent it. |
am satisfied it is white man, as no
negro could get so much poison from
the druggist without some notice being
taken Of it. am responsible for every
word in this card, and can whip the
man that poisoned my dog. No man
will resent an insult that will steal, lie,
burn houses, and slip around at night

A Layman's Services.

Rev. Dr. s.. who is a prominent di-
vine in city not far from New York,
had been spending a few days on an
island on the Maine coast, and, intend
ing to depart on a certain morning, ne
started for the boat i'm company with a
friend. A porter followed with the
doctors valise. Arriving at the wharf,
they found that, TO take advantage of
the wind or tide. the boat had gone be-
fore the advertised time.
Not aware of the clerical character of
the company, the porter swore several
shocking oaths in quick succession.
What do you think of that, doctor?'
asked his friend.

impressively, ''there are times when the
