GATHERING A CITY CROWD.
Experience of a Waggish Club Man at q
New York Drinking Fountain.

Experience of Waggish Club Man at o
New York Drinking Fountain.
have friend of the clubs-as mad a
wag as ever lived when the humor of his
before dinner absinthe is upon him. We
were crossing public square, one balmy
evening last spring; 6 O'Clock had just been
screeched at US by every factory whistle
whiting hearing, and the sidewalks were
a swarm.
''I'n lay you the dinners" said my
farceur, "that can create riot here in
side of five minutes"
He stopped at the public drinking foun-
tain and took up the tin cup that was
chained to it. The passers by stared a little
to see so elegant gentleman stop to drink
at a common fount of cheap refreshment.
Several halted, after going ON a few
PAGES, to look back. He filled the cup
deliberately. The waiting several had
become a score. He raised the cup slowly
toward his lips. The score grew to fifty.
Suddenly he dashed the water into the
basin and filed the cup again, only to
again empty it untouched. By this time
we were encircled by so many people that
they could not be counted, and l could
hear such observations and inquiries all
around US, as:
"He'u drink 1t this time"
"Bet you the drinks he don't"
"Must be dirty"
"What is it?'
"May be the cup leaks"
she must be some crank" W
"What ais him, anyhow" "
MAY be common water isn't goot
enough for him."
There was also addressed to him,
through this running fire of comment,
many more or less friendly and disinter-
ested suggestions and instructions, like:
Wrench the cup out" from motherly
fat woman, pokihg her umbrella at him.
"Have stick in it," by man with q
shiny black hat and shiny red nose.
'"Ten the waiter to open another
bottle"
This sally, which proceeded from a
young man in crossed barred trousers,
with very large and massive cane, which
he carried like yard stick, was hailed
with such applause that a park police
man found himself called upon to inter-
fere; whereupon my friend hurled the
cup into the basin with an expression of
the face indicative Of great disgust and
loathing, and showed his way out of the
crowd as quickly as he could. We could
hear the roar Of voices and the sharp
rapping Of the policemAn's club when we
turned into the restaurant, block and
more away; and learned by the papers,
next day, that the shiny red nose and the
shiny black hat slept in a station house
cell on a general charge Of disorderly con-
duct and the utterance Of murderous
threats against some person or perSons
unknown.

uvvrv DUu1es whose ulameters vary from
8 or 10 miles to 200. Whether they are,
as Professor Young once described them,
parts "of planet spoiled in the making"
or not is unknown, and perhaps may never
be solved. But certain it is that there are
almost numberless little celestial bodies
of this character, whose revolutions
around the sun are performed as uner-
ringly as those Of the larger planets. They
are called planetoids, from two Greek
words, which mean resembling planet
or wanderer.-Public Opinion.

help it.-Carter Harrison's Letter.

The Cuban ARMY.

There are three elements in the Cuban
army-the active army, the militia and
the volunteers. There are eight regiments
of infantry, eight battalions of chasseurs,
two drill companies, two regiments of
lancers, eight squadrons of mounted
tirailleurs, several battalions of guerrillas,
with enough of other branches of the SER
vice to make total of 33, ego men. The
militia, to which negroes are not admit
ted, has an effective force of volunteers
amounting to 5000 men.-Brussels Cor

Definition Of Male Beauty.

To call a man charming in face, or
lovely, or beautiful, or pretty, is to mini
mize-almost TO insult him. A man can
only be called handsome, and very, very
few men can be called that.
A handsome man must be manly in
figure, conveying the idea of strength and
energy under the most reposeful exterior.
He must have the shapely hands, feet and
ears that tell of good blood and cultivated
progenitors; he must have his head well
shaped, well set and well carried; he
must have a deep, broad chest and a
straight back, and long shapely limbs;
his features must be regularly formed,
and yet full Of expression, and the kingly
power that great sculptors try to give to
Jupiter.
Coloring does not much matter, so that
there be no red upon the cheeks, and not
too much in the lips, and, perhaps, the
mezzo tints lend themselves most salts
factorily to manly beauty, but, above all,
the handsome man must never be stout.
The heavy throat which overfows the
shirt collar never carries with it an air of
refinement, whatever it may do Of
strength. A blonde man runs the risk of
weakness and insipidity, and a black
beard man is handsome, even though he
be trif1e melodramatic, but still golden
haired and black haired men have been
very attractive the world over.
OF course below this grand climacteric
in the thoroughly handsome man there
are ranks after ranks Of good looking,
attractive, pleasant faced men-some
upon whom one loves to look and find
sweet content in contemplating faces and
forms far from faultless, and yet quite
satisfactory. And here we come upon
one Of the most strange and almost cruel
conditions Of our being. A man may or
may not be handsome, he may or may
not have any physical attractiveness what
ever, but nobody likes him the less for the
deficiency, he never finds it barrier in
his career, a source Of failure in his life;
women love him and men approve of him
just as readily as If he is handsome: in
fact, the woman or women who love him
set him down as handsome in serene de-
fiance Of the rules of beauty or the opin-
ion Of the world.-Mrs. Frank Leslie.

"stirrine Up" an OIL Wen.

When the first flush of a well is gone,
the torpedo agent is called in to increase
the production. In shooting well from
60 to 100 quarts Of nitro-glycerine are
used. This is lowered into the hole in
shells cleverly contrived to prevent a pre-
mature explosion, and then the Ego
devil" chunk Of iron for exploding the
cartridge on top Of the glycerine, is
dropped. In minute or two an explo-
sion about as loud as firecracker will be
heard, while the casing in the hole will
rise few inches above the derrick floor
and then settle back. The response from
the shot will not come until ten or twenty
minutes later, then the well flows freely
and at an increased rate. In the course
Of time the well refuses to iow Of fits own
accord and is classed among the pump
ers." Two-inch tubing is run down to
the producing sand, and the same ma
chinery that was used in drilling the well
is called in to do the pumping. From
time to time the tubing and sucker rods
are drawn and the well cleaned out or
treated to another dose Of glycerine. This
explains why the derrick at completed
well is never torn down.--Rufus r, VIII
son in San Francisco Chre~i~'~

A SHOCKING STORY.
The humanity of a Cache
County Parent.

Near the old toll gate at the mouth Of
LogaC Canyon, says he Logan Journal,
lives family by the name of Hodgesen.
They have a daughter who has been
subject TO fits for number of years
and is somewhat DIT mented. It is evil
dent that she bias L tnad The care that
unfortunates of this class should have.
During the recent cold weather which
has been experienced here she was out
during one f the coolest days shovel
ing the snow from around the house,
and when night came, instead of her
father allowing her to sleep in a room
where there was a fire, she was sent up
into the loft. Here she passed the
night with her wet and frozen shoes on
her fest, and without sufficient clothing
to keep her warm. The next morning
her hands and feet were frozen, but
she kept around until Sunday last,
when it became necessary to put her to
bed, end call -omeone in to wait on her.
DR.. 0. G. Ormsby was sent for, and
upon examination be found that 1t
would be necessary to amputate one
foot and part of the othe-. and two or
three fingers OF each hand. There
should be some punishment for
parent no would so neglect one of his
children as to allow her to freeze in the
manner described above
