 A ciean-shaved gentlemen, with . face that would bo generally described as classic in ita mold. stood in tho Hoffman house New York city. the other day and began to watch tho work of the man who makes silhouettee while you wait. Properly attired he might have been mistaken for priest, an actor or great statesman.-
 "Booth doesn't look bad." said ono by. stander to another as the classic face got closer to the silhouette man.
 "No," said the other. che looks we'll. and. even ruddier than ono would expect"
 The conversation was then turned, and tho classie-faced gentleman afterward went his way. The owner of the face was Senator John W. Daniel. who occupies Democratic sent in the upper house of congress from the state of Virginia. He was looking at the sights. while Edwin Booth was probably In his apartments at the Players club. The re- semblance between the faces of the Virginia orator and the American actor Is very strik. Ing, and the mistake made by the bystander was 8 natural one. Senator Daniel. however, would not be mistaken for the actor except sitting or standing still. In this case 1t was only the face of the senator that could bo seen by those who stood some distance away. Had they seen the senator in motion the mis- take would not have been made.
 Even moro striking in social resemblance than Booth and Daniel Is the likeness oR Col. Calvin s. Brice to the pictures of Gen. Bou. hanger. Those who have had the honor of meeting both of these distinguished gentle men gay that the chairman of the late Dem- ocratic National Executive committee could easily be taken for the great French revi- zionist and soldier. Indeed. 1t Is asserted that Col. Brice keeps in his handsome Fifth avenue mansion @ picture of Gen. Boulanger which ever and anon he looks at and ad- mires. Brice, however, Is smaller in stature than the Erenchman, but he has Boulanger's eyes and wears Boulanger's whiskers all tho time.
 Chauncey M. Depew, whom on the street, is mistaken half the time for Adam Forepaugh md A. R. Whitney. He Is better looking than either of these, especially Mr, Whitney, who has lean and hungry look, although wear- Ing the style of whiskers most becoming a stout man. MT. Whitney keeps Depew's pio- ture in his Broadway office, SO that his busi- ness acquaintances may see the difference and not make any embarrassing mistakes on the street.
 James G. Blaine's double may be seen any evening in the Fifth avenue hotel. He is . Broadway street broker, and whenever MT. Blaine is in town his double drops around to look at the statesman's face.
 Jay Gould's double is afraid of the biz speculator. and dsssn't look him up, for fear some one who has a grievance against Gould will make 1t unpleasant for him by mistake. He is said. however. to be very like tho mill llonairs in face and dform.-Baltimore Ameri- can,

Iatorestln9 Medical NxpeRinaentA
 Dr. Richardson. of London. hes been ea. Ra9Od on some curious, and. as 1t would sst'ln. completely successful experiments in turning the graphophone to account for medical purposes. The experiments. which divide themselves under the heads of "pulse reading" and "eough reading. are too teoh- nical in their details for minute description.
 As regards pulse reading. 1t must suilce to say that Dr. Richardson has succeeded in taking impressions on tho wax cylinder of f'verai varieties of professionalism. fl. regular. full. quick and slow-and tho re- spcctiv' qualities of each are easily heard. By more simple process, however. 1t is found practicable to produce a record read- able hy the eye on papor. which may be transmitted by post. From recording tho pnlsc on tho wax cylinder he moved on to tho recording of coughs and coughing sounds. In this case, VIC are told, the results were exceedingly definite and practical. The cough had simply to be taken as the speak ing and singing voice is taken and the return cough by the graphophone proved as clearly distinct as the original.
 On one cylinder four varieties of coughs were taken. In listening to these wo are assured tLnt 1t Is difficult to divest the mind of the belief that 1t Is not the patient who is pro- ducing the effect by his own present efforts. As regards the practical value of these novel applications of ono of the latest triumphs of science. Dr. Richardson observes that to be abic to compare 8 cough of today with a cough of a month or year ago. would be . good clinical observation, and it may be so immediately availa bls in the consulting room that he has determined to bring 1t into prac- tice. The sum total of the experiments is that any sound whatever indicative of or dseusa. and any animal motion of health heulth or diseane. that admits of being trans- latod into sound. can now be recorded. made permanent and reproduced any number of times. either for comparison. demonstration or opservution-London News

An Amusing Pet

A1 nm WOAhB &0A
 MT. Wood gives a very amusing account oi 8 pet coaiti-mondi, 6 South American animal, allied to the raccoon:
 He once stole an egg while cooking was go. ing on. My mother saw him, and chivied him all over the house. until at last she cor nered him. He stil kept the egg in his mouth. and when he saw he must be caught, he deliberately raised his head as high as he could, dashed the egg down on the carpet, and ''kikoed" frantically with..glee. The lit. tie animal would always find out a scented handkerchief, roll 1t up into a tight ball. sit upright. hold the ball to his nose with his fore paws, and snin at 1t with eyes closed in ecstasy. After enjoying it for some time he would turn round and rub 1t gently up and down his tail.
 This tail was funny piece of furniture. for 1t never moved to the right or left when he turned around, but stuck stifdy in an arch behind. He was very fond of lying inside the fendes. and whenever we perceived . smell of burning we always knew 1t was only Kiko's tail raking out the lower bar as he turned. He never seemed to feel burn, and once quite roasted the tip. which he ate. and enjoyed 1t immensely. It soon got we'll again. and there did not seem to bs any sore.-Ani. mal World

 No other disease excites SO much terror as Ahiatic cholera. Yet cholera infantum far oxcoeds 1t as destroyer of human life. The lnvasions of Asiatic cholera have always been It long intervals; the ravages of cholera in- fantum occur every summer.
 In Philadelphia the average mortality iron all diseases during the more healthy week, Is about 300 i; but in 1872. there were. in a sin. gle week of July. over 500 deaths of children, under years of age. In 1876. again. during the hottest week of July, there were l8S deaths of infants under 2 years of age. and matters were still worse in New York.
 Tho connection of this disease with high tenperst ure and the special liability of bot. tle-fed infants arc universally admitted. Still. physicians are not agreed as to its pre- cise nature. Doctor Meinert. of Dresden Germany, has been making careful inyesti- gations into the subject. and thinks he has ascertained the following, among other facts:
 A high temperature with high wind is not dangerous; but a moderate temperature without wind increases the number of cases and the mortality. Hot days without wind are the worst In period of uniform high temperature. there Is an increase of heat in the dwellings. by accumulation. and a corre- spending increase of mortality.
 Insufficient ventilation renders the inside temperature much higher than the outside. and so invites and aggravates the disease which, for this reason, prevails In blocks moro than in detached houses. Less disease was found in the underground tenements and on the upper floors, the first floor fsrins worst. apparently because of the heat re. aectcd from the pavement.
 The greater mortality of bottle-fed infants Is due to their failure to be supplied with sufficient water. with which. by It's evapora- ton on the surface, the normal temperature of the body Is regulated. The breast-fed child gets water through its nurse. whose thirst induces her to drink copiously.
 The cry of the bottle-fed infant for water is met by giving it milk, which is really food, and not only fails to furnish the needed fluid for evaporation, but increases the feverish heat, by disturbing the stomach and bowels. Youths Companion.

An ~ex-oficer of the British army, who
has spent many years in India and AZ
RIGA, came to New York and is striving
hard to learn how people in this city act.
He finds a greatde to amuse him in the
way food Is served in the restaurants,
and his friends usually enjoy a hearty
laugh when he takes dinner with them,
as he seldom fails to see something about
which to make some quaint remark in
expressing his astonishment. A few days
ago this loyal Briton was, as usual, eat
ing dinner, charging upon the superior
ity of things English as compared with
what he had seen here, when, the more
substantial viands having been con-
sumed, one of the party ordered straw
berry shortcake for dessert. The waiter
filed the order about as promptly a is
usual in down own restaurants, and the
captain viewed the dish with surprise.
He seemed unable to comprehend it at
first, but before the delicacy had been
eaten he seemed to have solved the prob
lem. Then he surprised those around
him by exclaiming; "By Jovel that must
be NIGEL Strawberries on toast is a queer
dish, though."-New York Tribune.

THE Sundance Republican is evidently
very much taken with the recently or
ganized town of Newcastle. Here is
what its editor says about it. 1--WE made
a flying visit to Newcastle last week. and
was surprised to see the great activity
manifested at that point. There are hun
dreds of men in and about the new To-
cation. Business houses Of all kinds arc
being built. Contracts for the erection
of several fine brick blocks have been en-
tered into and several are already under
way, lots are being sold rapidly at from
5000 to 81, 800. Vacant lots have been
leased at $55 per month, immense yards
are being graded for side tracks, depots
and other railroad buildings. The scene
in and about Newcastle has the appear
ance of a rich gold find, as one old set
tier remarked that he had never seen any
thing to equal it since the great gold ex-
citment at Deadwood in the days of 10

THE TINE FOR ACTION.

From now until the first of the year
there is every indication that business in
all its branches will steadily improve, We
have already had several cold snaps and
present appearances point to an early
winter. Last season was phenomenally
pling trade in most lines of scasonable
goods. The Cheyenne merchants, apre-
eating an increased demand for their
wares this year, are already beginning to
reach out through the medium of adver-
tisements informing the public OF the
goods which they are willing to sell them.
Cheyenne is every year growing more
metropolitan in this respect: The mer-
chants with each season arc compelled to
cater more and more TO the public. Brisk
competition forces them into advertising
and the question with every buyer is
where can he buy the cheapest.
The merchant who has a cheap and de-
sirable lot OF goods on his hands should
not keep the fact to himself or he is very
liable to keep the goods also. The man
who has something to sell wants, first, to
let everybody know he has that particular
article. and secondly, that he can sell it as
cheap or cheaper han his competitors.
The readiest and most effective way of
doing this is through the medium of ad-
vertisement in the newspapers. This is
the season of the year when the matter

They strolled into the G. p. Organ hard

powder. One Of them produced seventy
five cents and indicated that he wanted its
equivalent in powder. The explosive was
wrapped up and delivered, and the other
child Of the plains threw a quarter on
the counter and exhibited a desire to buy
that much of the same. His wish was
gratified. The first customer then bought

exactly when it says that beef on the hoof

Just as much as it ever did.

countable for this condition of things.
