Professor F. T. Miles, of the faculty of
the University of Maryland, delivered a
lecture to a large audience of young men
the other evening on Food and Di-
gestion." In the course of his lecture
Professor Miles, in speaking of the effects
of an insufficient quantity of food, said:
1.-The fat disappears first, then the mug
Giles waste away, and finally the bones
come through the skin. The brain, the
spinal cord and the nerves are nourished
to the last. Like a king in a ~beleagured
city to whom his loyal subjects give up
their food, the nobler organs are longest
nourished. In starvation there is not
simple hunger of the stomach, but hunger
of the whole body. 1t is not strange that
when hunger presses on people they will
do strange things. 1t produces insanity,
n they have been driven to eating
what has been called strange flesh; that
is to cannibalism. There are millions of
people who nave not enough to eat. 1t is
at the bottom of anarchy. The police
may give them a loaf of bread, but the
whole body is ill nourished and a restless
feeling results.
Not much can be lone with the grown
up people of the criminal classes, but the
child criminal comes first. The criminal
classes are called dirty, lazy and ugly.
OF course they are. They are dirty be-
cause they have no spare neat to let go;
lazy, because the muscles are weak and
nature tells them to keep still when nun
cry. You would be astonished to know
how much of the beauty of the fairest
women is made up of fat. The criminal
classes are ugly because they have no
fat. How could a child, whose muscles
and nervous system nave beer partly
starved be expected to have all the sym
pathies and instincts of a higher class of
society. An every day Sabbath school
with a breakfast before the lesson would
be a capital thing for poor children.
Some say the poor themselves are to
blame for their condition by living too
luxuriously. One of the most intense
cravings of the Greedy Arctic party was
for sweetmeats. Tea and coffee do more
good than harm. They stimulate not
only the brain, but the activities of the
whole body. There will be a great mis-
sion to the poor some day to see that
they get enough of good food. "-Balti-

a CLEVER ENTERTAINMENT.
Prof. PasmOre's Pupils Entertain a
Large AudieGce.

A large audience, which was generous
in its applause and very appreciative,
assembled in the Presbyterian church last
evening to listen to a vocal and instru-
mental concert given by Prof. E. j. Pas
more, organist of the church, assisted by
his pnpils. AS an exhibition of the abil-
ity of those who took part, as well as in
dication of the skill of their teacher, no
concert ever given in this city has afford
ed greater pleasure or has been more sue
c~essful.
The programme consisted of fifteen
numbers, which is rather long to keep up
u sustained interest in a strictly musical
performance such as that of last night,
yet the interest was maintained, and the
general verdict was hat a better amateur
concert had never been given in Chey-
enne. While all were good, several of
the performances were strikingly merito-
rious and received hearty applause.
The concert was opened with an anthem
song by a choir consisting of Mrs. j. G..
Pratt, Mrs. R. N. Heath, Miss Lizzie
Whitcomb, Miss Minnie Thomson, Miss
Fannie Crook and Messrs. r. N. Heath,
p. f. Powelson, II. w. Henderson and
w. A. Whitcomb.
Following, Miss Harrie Brush, daughter
of Capt. Brush of Fort Russell, gave a
clever performance on the piano; Mrs.
Heath sang THE Last Boat" Miss Stella
Hellman played charmingly on the piano;
Miss Whitcomb sang Waiting" accom-
panied by Mr.. Hutchinson on the violin;
Home of the Swallow" was sung as a
duet by Mrs. Pratt and Miss Crook; big
Ben a pretty song composed by Whit
ney, was given by Miss Minnie Thoma-
son, followed by Good Bye a song
rendered by Miss Anna Thomson. The
remainder of the programme consisted of
a piano exercise by Miss Ada Williams. a
song by Mrs. Pratt. a violin solo by Mr..
Hutchinson; a song by Miss Blanche
Moore; a duet by Miss Make Mcconnell
and Miss Whitcomb; a piano duet by
Miss Stella Hellman and Mr.. Pasmore,
closing with Good Night" given by the
choir.
A noticeable feature of the concert was
the skill displayed by the very young per-
formers such as Miss Brush, Miss He'll
man and Miss Williams.

On next Saturday night the Barrows &
Staley Dramatic company will present for
the first time in this city the great spec.
tacular production She. The company
numbers thirty people, comprising such
well known people as j. f. Barrows, J..
G. Staley, Miss Emma Heath and Miss
Louise Hunter. No expense has been
spared by the management to put before
the public a worthy and deserving piece.
The stage will be cleared entirely of all
local scenery and nothing but especial and
beautiful scenery will be used in connec-
ton with the play. She was recently
produced in San Francisco with immense
success, and it is safe to say that there
will be a crowded house to witness the
first performance of She next Saturday.
The sale of seats will begin on next
Thursday morning at Rhodes & Troxell's.

Tho Poisoned Key of Padua.

Another delightful relic of the life and
times of the tyrant of Padua is a simple
key-about the size of an ordinary door
key. 1t was the key of the dukes
library in his private ROOM. When he
wanted to get rid of any of his suite or
any person in his household that he had
a bitter feeling against he used to ring his
bell and ask for Mr.. John to be sent to
him Clancy NAME, of course). When
John entered the duke would say: ooh,
John, l wish you would go to the book
case in my private room and bring me
the 'Dagonet Ballads >" Certainly, YOUR
grace, " Mr.. John would say, and away
he would trot with the key in his hand.
When he got to the library he would
put the key in the lock of the book case
and turn it. But directly he turned it,
out of the handle of the key shot a long
poisoned needle, which stabbed the hand
of the holder and instantly shot back
again. John would let go of the key
and say, "What the deuce was that?''
He would look at his hand, and see only
a small, dark blue spot. He would think
nothing of it, but all of a sudden he
would begin 20 feel queer in his head.
Presently some one would come in and
find him in a fit on the floor, and the
household would be alarmed. 'tNIr.
John has had a stroke or n fit the
people would say. A doctor would be
sent for, but his services would be of no
avail. In twenty-four hours Mr.. John
would be dead, and everybody would
think that he had died through a fit.
There were no bothering c]oroners in
quests to upset the plans of clever fellows
like the Duke Francis in those DAYS.

Hcspcctrully inscribed TO Mr.. and Mrs. T
NJ. Fisher on the death Of their second son
Joseph w. FishCr.l
This is not death. Though oblivion's shade
Withits phantom wing shall forever keep
A vigil where naugh but the dust is laid,
Beneath the sod in II drcamless sleep.
But the spirit lies not in his narrow house
Twas waited away to the bourn Of light,
To wait for Il time until you shall come
Where the rivers crossing viii be in sight.
From the twilight beach with its golden sands
Their forms will come in a mystic bark;
And they'll becSon to you two little white
hands
As you pause by the mnrge of the waters dark;
Two cherished voices again you'll hear
Two voices in life 50 well you knew,
Saying, "It's Willie and Joe, o do not fear,
We are coming across the river for you"
