THE PRESS COLONY.
A Sensational RumSr Anent the
scheme.


scheme.
Rumor is afoot to the effect that G
big g-hearted local banker and an eX
official of the city is about to settle the
whole matter-relating to the pro-
posed press colony. Being asked
his view OF the matter, this phi
lanthropist said: Newspaper men
are not usually good business men.
They live up in intellectual attitudes,
away from all contact with material
affairs. Such mundane matters
are beneath the attention OF
literary genius. Now, such
being the case it can hardly be ex-
pected that journalists shodld be able
to save money enough to own their
homes. They boom the country, and
make every other member OF the
community rich, while they live on
in utter oblivion of the good things of
the world, The newspaper men have
had good deal to do in the way of
helping me to make money. 1 pro-
pose to be my own almoner and not let
my executors get the better of me
by acquiring credit for liberality in
dispensing my money when 1 am
dead. l have given away $4,000
more than once to homes which will
not do as much good as this. 1 will
therefore just set apart $4,000 to
build homes for the reporters. If
any person will come up with free
lots in good location-I want the
press people to have the best part Of the
country for their homes-.hen l will
give each one house, built at my ex-
pense." There is no pun in that last
word expense, but do not too hastily
dispense with this rumor. 1t may
have more in it than people think
who are not acquainted with the gen.
erous philanthropist who is reported
to have thus delivered himself.

DRUNK IN THE STREET.

Drunk, your worship" the officer said;
''Drunk in the street; sirr She raised her
head
A lingering trace of the golden grace
Still softened the lines of her woe-worn face
Unkempt and tangled her rich brown hair.
Yet with all the burrows and stains of care
The years of anguish and sin and despair
The child of the city was passing fair.
The ripe red mouth with lips compressed
The rise and fall of the hcavine breast
The nervous fingers, so taper and small,
Crumpled the fringe of the tattereG shawl
AS she stood in her place at the officers call.
She seemed good and fair, she seemed tender
and sweet,
This fallen woman found drunk IN the street
Does the hand that once smoothed the ripple
and wave
OF that tangled hair lie still in TIE grave?
Is that mother who pressed those red lips 10
her own.
Deaf to the pain of their sraothered moan?
Has the voice that chimcd to the lisping
No accent of hope for the lost one there.
Bearing her burden of sin and despair?
Drunk in the street--in the gutter found
From passionate longing to crush ana
The soul Of the woman she might have
been
TO fling off The weight of fearful dream.

Spirit in a Brewery.
Chicago Tribune.

CDlcagO Tribune.
The employees of the brewing estab-
lishment of Junk & Co., in Eastern
Freeman avenue, Cincinnati. O., are
much exercised over the appearance Of
spirit which is a nightly visitor
about the place. About two months
ago fireman at the brewer.
Julius Sutter.was so badly scalded
that he died the following day.
The bottom of large steam vessel in
the boiler-roOms gave way and the hot
water and steam made short work Ofthe
fireman. He was taken from the boiler
room and seated Oh flight of steps in
ali adjoining room until he could be
taken to his home. Ever since his death
1t had been rumOred about the locality
that he may be seen any night seated
just inthe same position as when taken
from the loom to be brought to his home.
So great is the faith placed in these
stories that but few of the employees can
be induced to visit that portion of the es-
tabliShment i'll which it is claimed SUIT
ter can be seen any night between
twelve and one o'clock. The last per-
sons to see the spirit of the dead man
are the engineer. George Galbreath.a
the fireman, Frank Stumph. Both men
are comparatively we'll educated. They
can not be shaken in their belief. 1t
was last Sunday that Galbreath ran into
the spirit of Suffer seated on the steps
referred to. He spoke to it, and when
he reached out to place his hand upon
the spirits shoulder it disappeared.
Stumph had similar experience the
following night. The affair is the talk
of the neighborh0od. which is thickly
settled. most of the buildings about the
brewery being large tenements, crowded
from top to bottom.

other mad storm was that of the winter

After rain OF twenty-four hours, which
fllled all the streams and flooded the

anu turned the rain into sleet, and the
very demons seemed to bave taken pos

Ice, driven by the fierce wind, would
cut the skin like knife. For whole
night the Sleet fell, and next morning
the outside world was one sheet of ice,
hill, stream, field, tree and house, all
bound in icy letters. Animals OF all
kinds unsheitered were frozen in their
tracks and coated with ice. For nearly
month there was never ray of sun
shine and no let-up in the icy hold the
frost had of nature. The storm of last
month was bad enough, it having caught
50 many people unawares, a succession
of mild winters having disarmed the
caution usually possessed by the inhab-
itantS of the cold part of the temperate
zone. The late storm, however, will
have no particularly damaging effect on

GUM-CHEWING AS AN ART.
You Can Read Character in 1t and
Tell Who Will Win the Game.

Baltimore American.
The habit of chewing gum by men,
women, babies, young and old, in the
West is gradually working its way East.
1t is a matter of common practice at
most health resorts, and strikingly 50
at the Hot Springs, in Arkansas, and
nearly all the physicians in these sani-
tariums commend the exercise as ma
terially aiding digestion, cleaning the
stomach, and as help of breaking off
chewerS from the use of tobacco.
A few years ago, and even now, in
chewed gum would be Stunned by
other fair ones, and held up as an eX-
ample of one on the direct route to
perdition. Whereas, in Chicago, Kan
sas City, st. Paul, Minneapolis, and in
all the rest of the progressive West and
Northwest cities and towns, if one can't
chew at least nickePs worth of gum
per day one is not up to the standard.
1t seems odd, but there is perfect dial
to the thoughts in the way the gum is
chewed. Let any one chewing gum be-
come excited or enthusiastic, say at
horse racing or any other interesting
enjoyment, and the mouth will work
quickly and with all automatic regular
watching base ball contest will show
OH which side the chewerS are betting.
When a good play is made on one side
the hackers of that side chew ferOcious-
ly; the losing side chew and work the
gums alphabetically. A home run
causes the masticating and crunching
to go on as though worked by the Kelly
motor.
A young lady visiting the East from
one of the Western cities neglected to
bring with her stock of genuine gum.
Life seemed intoierabIe until thought
full friend sent her bundle of sweetly
scented chewing gum. TO watch an
other chewing gum very long will make
YOU hungry, and the young lady's
mother, having watched her "chew"
for long time and seeing the evident
relish with which she chewed, asked
for a paper. After chewing for five
minutes, she suddenly threw the gum
Indignantly out Of the window. Later.
when the young lady'S mother re-
marked that the habit of chewing gum
was pernicious. unladylike and vulgar,
the daughter understood that the neo-
phyte in gum chewing had swollen
tongue, chewed jaws, and bleeding
lip. There are slips even i'll gum.

is over the worshipers remain alb

parts OF the church, utterly lost to all
that passes around.
After leaving the church the Tuscans

the gray head to the toddling infant, in
vests in ticket. They are very super
stitiOus about significant numbers. One
man chooses eight because his cat at
home has that number of kittens; an
other twenty-nine, because his son fell
and broke his leg on that day of the
month; still another fifteen, because
there are that number of letters in the
saints name whom they celebrate.
Every one is in good humOr while the
drawing takes place, and even if their
numbers are unsuccessful they leave
with the conviction that they will surely
come up on the next feast day.

A heart that wakes to sudden fears,
And eyes that know the use of tears;

HOW BEEF is MADE TENDER.
Points in Regard to Steaks That
Are Not Generally known.

AS prominent beef dealer of this
city was showing reporter over his
place of business in Faneuil Hall mar
ket the other day, he discoursed inter
estingly on the best method of preparing
beef for the family or the hotel table,
says the Boston Herald. SIT is not gem
orally KNOWN" said he, "that meat kept
for day or two is vastly superior TO
that which is absolutely fresh. Here is
some beef" he continued, as he lifted a
cloth cover from some loins of meat
in the bottom recesseS of the Gel
lar, (which has been kept by me
nearly three weeks for one of the
most famous steak houses in this CITY
See what a difference there Is between
this meat and that upstairs, which has
just come from Chicago. This looks
dark and rancid and almost unfit to eat,
yet is vastly superior to that which has
just come in. The average family man
will not buy meat that it is not ALSO
lutely fresh and bright red in color, but
the knowing hotel man wants his beef
three or four weeks old, providing, of
course, that he can get beef dealer
who will keep it that length of time for
him. You may have noticed that the
steak which you order tn first-class
restaurant in the city is usually. much
more tender than that which you
dealer and have cooked by your wife at
home. Perhaps you have wondered
why it is so, when you have always been
very particular to order the very fresh
est and tenderest beef that your butcher
had in stock, without regard to the
price. Well, the reason is that the
dealer knew right we'll that your fam
lily would make great kick if he sent
home beef that had 'rotted for week
or two and had become nice and tender,
and would declare that he did not keep
fresh meats. They would, in that case,
be perfectly ri ght, but beef eau not be
perfectly fresh and be tender at the
same time. To be really good. this
frigerator for at least ten days or
two weeks. In that time, how
ever, it loses its bright, rosy
color, and turns dull red.
The hotel mas to whom l referred, and
whom this beef is intended for, will not
take beef from me unless it is at least
three weeks old, and if, at times, there
is short supply of beef in the Boston
market, and find it impossible to keep
beef for him as long as he desires. am
compelled to go outside and purchase
old beef somewhere in the market. In
the future, when you want to buy a real
tender piece of beef, do not be afraid to
purchase piece that has been kept for
two OF three weeks. You will find it
greatly superior to fresh beef, despite
the fact that it may not look quite so in
viting before it is cooked. l do not in
tend to give hotel business secrets away
as usual thing, but l would like to
have people learn that they must not
blame the provision dealer if, when they
order their beef to be perfectly fresh,
they fail to find it as tender as they eX-
pected when it is placed on the table,"

THE SINGING SANDS.

When down the length of Athabasca's lake
The north wind sweeps,
The brown shore-shallows into singing
break,
A voice of music rises from the deeps.
1t is the singing sands-the pehbled keys
That from their caves
Respond i'll faint and haunting melodies
To the long touches of the lingering waves
Elf-tones that waken only when the wind
Blows from the north;
No sea breeze cool, no zephyr sweet as Ind,
No breath of plain or hill can draw them
forth.
Thus life has singing sands that only sound
To the cefd wind of pain;
Sweet airs of joy and peace, in fragrant
round.
Search for the secret Of the voice in vain.
But when the nor.h wind blows and high
the seas
OF suffering roll,
From the deep waters come the melodies
The sands Of patience singing in the soul.
Mary Leonard.
