A curious NERVOUS Disease.

There is a curious disease Of the nerv-
GUS system which is produced by con-
tinually using the fingers in the same
way and for many hours at time. It is
called, according to the occupation Of the
sufferer, sswrlters' cramp, = 'sfddlers'
cramp," engravers' cramp," "tele-
graphers' cramp,'' "typewriters'
cramp," and so on. The most remarka-
BILE feature about the disorder is that.
though the subject of it cannot execute
the movements necessary to his profess
sion and which occasion the affection, he
can do anything else with his fingers.
Thus the bookkeeper affected with the
writers cramp,' though seized with q
spasm of the fingers the moment he be-
gins to write. and which prevents the
slightest movement of his pen towards
forming letter, can use the same fingers
in playing the violin, setting type, work
ing the telegraph key, or, in fact. execut-
ing even the most complicated move
ment, without the slightest difficulty,
provided, of course, that he possesses the
requisite technical skill. The nerves are
simply exhausted for the particular work
which he has been carrying on for years.
They have got into rut, as it were, and
cannot get out until rest and change of
occupation have permitted them to accu.
mulate the special kind of force needed
for writing. DIR. William A. Hammond.

rransportation OF Ilze cattle.

A company has been organized to
transport live cattle from the west 70
New York at express train speed and
a recent experiment from Chicago TO
New York demonstrated theperfect FEAST
bility Of the venture. The cars are built
on special plan, with all the running
gear constructed with view to ease OF
motion. The rocking and straining or
the common cattle cars, which cause such
a heavy percentage of loss ON the trans
portation of live stock, are altogether
avoided. The cars are literally palace
cars, being far better in construction con-
veniences than the enigrant cars in use
on most roads. I happened by mere &C
cident to be in Jersey City depot when
the experimental train came IN. rs bad
followed after the limited express and
made through trip at high pressure.
Yet the cattle were all in good condition,
neither fevered nor dirty, and the cars
were admirably clean and well yenth-
ated. The saving on the loss Of stock I
am told, allows . very considerable
profit over the extra cost OF the cars and
the extra charges for hauling at high
speed. The shamefully brutal methods
hitherto in vogue in the transportation
of cattle are well known. Every hui
name person must hail this innovation as
forward step in the right direction and
long one, toe. -Alfred Trumble IN New

During his tour through the country
several years ago Remenyi played at
Whitewater, and while there was invited
to the residence of T. d. Weeks, q prom
inent citizen of Whitewater. He took
with him his famous Cremona violin,
which he carefully deposited on sofa in
the parlor. Shortly afterward several
young ladies who were there to meet the
great vlolinist went into the parlor, and
removing the violin from the sofa stood
it up in one corner of the room. When
Remenyi entered the room again he
noticed his violin on the floor; he seized
IL and exclaimed, my princess on, the,
doori' and then nc turned to the aston;
ished misses and scolded them roundly
for putting his princess ON the floor.
There was present at the same time
pianist who had joined Remenyi in this
city, and who travelled with him during
the balance of his tour. Whitewater was
the first place where the new pianist
played and on this occasion he sat down
20 the piano and gave an exhibition of
his playing. When he had finished
Remenyi was SO delighted that he went
up to the performer and embraced him in
the most ELUSIVE manner, repeating this
performance every time he played. -

Negro Children of New York.

The troops of negro children in Thirty
fourth and Forty second streets every
day make New York look like south
ern city. The children are unattended,
even the smallest of them toddling along
contentedly without protection. The
hooAums no longer annoy them, and
they are the most obedient and docile of
children What strikes the observer
most forcibly about them is their re-
markedly prosperous condition. They
are clad as negro children were never
dressed before anywhere in the world.
The boys wear neat knickerbockers and
jackets, dark stockings and sturdy shoes,
and very often their dusky hands are
covered with well fitting gloves. Lunch
con baskets are neat and tidy in appear
ance, and the books freshly and lastly
covered Many of the little girls are
dressed with similar beauty and expens-
iVeness. No man can look at their
strong, bright faces without feeling that
the race will take great step in adj
vance during this generation New York

Hog meat is an expensive luxury down

buying some supplies to take up TO q

when it occurred to me that It would
taste pretty well for breakfast some
morning. + ordered the clerk to cut of
ten pounds for me, and while he was
preparing iheao it / asked him how he
sold it. You can Judge my establishment

didn't buy 1t. As for hams-they never
saw ham there. The Mexicans know
nothing about the curing OF meat and
the bacon they sell is imported from the
United States. It was only quite re.
Gently they began selling meats by the
pound. They formerly sold it by the
yard. Going into their markets you
would see the beef and other meats cut
up in strips, which was measured out to
the customer. The very finest fresh beef
is sold there at 1Sc. to 25c. per pound. =

PARROTS OF PARIS.

The, Wonderful Antics 0f the Trained
birds Which Are the Rage ON tho Seine.
Two fixed bars on upright supports are
placed on the table; a parrot climbs upon
one of them, turns q 'somersault, keeps
his head downward, and, passing on TO
the second bar, goes through the same
exercise. Their owner then calls Tom, o
small white parrot, who comes towards
him as if about to climb on one of the
bars, but runs back again. holding down
his head and shaking his wings in a
grotesque way. Tom is evidently the
buffoon of the troupe. "A bell is then
brought with handle which forms q
lever; parrot advances, and, putting one
foot on the lever, rings the bell. The
trainer asks the audience what number
of rings they wish for; some one exclaims
.sSeven!" and the parrot rings the bell
seven times.
The bird is then asked how much does
] three times three make, and it replies by
ringing the bell nine times, A perch is
then placed ON the table in the form of u
seesaw, at each end of which gray par
rot perches, and in the center, just above
the pivot, jumps magnificent white
parrot named Charley, the principal one
in the troupe. This parrot, throwing the
weight Of his body successfully to right
and left of the pivot, rocks the .seesaw
rapidly. To see the animation of this
bird during the performance one would
suppose that he took o real pleasure in
rocking his companions.
The same bird then goes through an
other exercise. Four fiagstaffs are set up
OF. the table, and at the foot of each is a
flag attached to cord, which passes over
a pulley at the top. The flags are Eng
lish, French. Belgian and American.
One of the audience asks for the French
flag. Charley advances, draws himself
up, erecting his bright yellow crest, and.
spreading his wings, suddenly seizes the
line with his beak, and then, alternately
with beak and foot, hauls up the flag as a
sailor would, hand over hand, until it Is
fast at the top. He then goes through
the same performance with the other
flags in succession.
Several letters of the alphabet are
placed upright on the table, and Charley
is again brought forward, pluming him
self as before. A spectator calls for a
ieIteT. CHariey HeSltateS, HCun0S MS
head on one side, appears to reflect. then
suddenly advances and picks up theletter
named, repeating the performance with
other letters when called for. Suddenly
little Tom Jumps off the perch, runs up,
seizes the remaining letters one after an
other, and pitches them away on the
floor. Another parrot then appears, and
at the word of command throws several
somersaults on the table. Two Others
follow. and waltz slowly round while the
music plays.
OF all parrots NJ. Abby considers the
white cockatoos the most gifted. Nature.
