We had n menagerie race the other
morning, says 4 feminine correspondent.
Each of the men had charge of an ami
NAL or bird, and he whose biped or
quadruped first reached the goal was to
receive a silver cigarette case, for which
we had all subscribed. Maurice chose a
calf. Fred q donkey and Charlie a little
pig. The other men had, respectively, a
hen, Il duck and a turkey. Marshaling
all these creatures at the starting point
was a matter of some difficulty, as you
may guess. The course was fenced in
so that they could not get out of it, and
the goal was hung round with all things
tempting to the m%enagerie. Carrots and
vetch were tied to it, while corn, meal
and apples were strewn upon the ground
about it. The scarlet faces of the men
as the whooped and shouted and flung
their hats at the recalcitrant racers made
us shrek with laughter. The hen flew
over the fence, the pig got between
Charles legs and tripped him up, and
then squealed as though it was the suf-
ferer instead of poor Charlie. l never
heard such = noise as the wretched duck
made. being utterly b~ewildered, and
wondering evidently what it was expect
ed 10 do. Do try a menagerie race if
you wan Il good laugh. Maurice's calf
won after n long struggle, and then the
exhausted men joined us, shouting with
laughter over their own ~unavailing eff
forts to get their charges near the goal.

DENVER, Oct. 25.-The locomotive en-.

various resolutions presented to the con-
vention. There are forty in number.
The most important is one favoring feder-
alton and one offering an amendment to
the constitution cutting down the number
Of delegates to the national convention.
The latter will be heartily supported By
Chief Arthur, who declares that the large
number of delegates now allowed make
the convention unwieldy. Only two reso-
lutions were adopted to-day, one endors-
ing the report of the committee on insur-
ance and one fixing the time of the cleo.

hararoni is Il peculiar product of
wheat, formerly made only in Italy and
still popularity regarded as n distinguish
Ing diet of the natives of that country.
The name is now applied only to the
larger pipes, and the smaller ones are
known as vermiceili. though there is no
real difference between the two except
the size of the tubes. The wheat is
ground with the use of heat and moist
urc into a sort of meal or paste called
semola, from which the bran is excluded.
This meal is made into Q dough with
water. and is forced through gauges
from which it energies as macaroni or
vermicelii, the process resembling that
of lead pipe drawing. Special varieties
of wheat, those containing the largest
proportion of gluten, are demanded for
the successful manufacture of macaroni.

Spokane Falls new Line.

The Union Pacific railway, having COM
pleted it line to Spokane Falls, Wash
ington Territory, is running it's trains di-
rect to that point. thus forming the
most desirable route from the east on ac-
count OF its Pullman Palace sleeping
cars, Pullman dining cars, and free Pull
D,an Colonist Sleepers.
Spokane Falls is situated in the Palouse
country and Is the distributing center for
a section of the Northwest, the resources
of which are unlimited. As an illustra-
ton: $4,000 bushels of wheat have been
raised from 1000 acres of land. Another
feature of the country greatly conducive
to the raising of crops, is the ~rainless
harvests, no rain falling while crops are
being harvested.
Many desirable farms may yet be had
IN this remarkably productive region on
reasonable terms, and a more favorable
opportunity for procuring a farm cheap
will not soon present itself again.

WORSE THAN DEATH.
Carl Graves Story of the Earn
moor Wreck.
How the Survivors Sustained
Life by Cannibalism.
School Children Injured by a
Dynamite Bomb.

BALTIMORE, Oct. 25.-Carl Graves,
fireman. and Ludwig Lojer, seaman, sur
vivors of the crew of the steamship Earn
moor, told last night in detail the horrible
story of the way they sustained lite by
cannibalism for several days. Loder said:
THE only food we had for the first fif.
teen days in the boat was flying fish an1
a few raw small sea birds divided among
eleven men. On the sixteenth day Will
lam Davis. a seaman, caught me by the
throat and made a dash at my read with
a knife. He cut me on the right cheek,
the. scar from which still remains, as you
see. He was told to kill me by August
Plagge, a fireman. When Davis began
to cut me some of my companions caught
him, but the others shouted. Kill him !
Kill hin We wan something to eat.
We are starving
at seems that Plagge, Davis and the
others in one end of the boat decided that
| should die, as | suppose being pretty
fat | looked inviting. Plagge was placed
on watch that night, but he was missing
the next morning. No one saw him go
overheard.
"On the seventeenth day William Rob-
inson lay down to sleep. When they
tried to call him, they found him dead.
1t was determined to cat his flesh. and
William Wright, the cook, was ordered to
carve the body. The first thing done was
to smash in Robinson's skull and from
the fracture each one sucked the blood as
long as it would last, which was but a little
while. Then the cook stripped the flesh
from the ribs.
The next day this flesh was cut
in strips and placed on thu top of the water
tight compartments and dried in the sun.
After taking out Robinson's heart, liver
and other parts which would furnish
blood to be sucked, they threw the multi
ated body into the sea. Two days after
Robinson death, Third Engineer Thomas
Hunt died. His body was also cut up FOR
food. In about three days the feet and
limbs of all began to swell and several
have since broken out in ugly sores. We
think it the poison from the human flesh
and blood"
Both Graves and Loder say they have
no recollection of the taste of human
flesh, so great was their mental anguish
at the time. Their only recollection of
taking food is feeling their own blood
quicken as it coursed through their veins.

Education in Ancient Egypt.

Boys intended for the government
service entered the school at a very early
age, says The Popular Science Monthly
concerning education in ancient Egypt.
The course of instruction was very sim
pie. The first care of the teacher was to
initiate the young scribe into the mys-
teries of the art of writing. After he had
mastered the first difficulties, he was
given older texts to copy. These texts
were moral treatises, old poems, fairy
tales, religious and mythical writings
and letters. 1t is to this fact that we owe
the preservation of the greater part of
the literary remains of ancient Egypt.
When n of these schoolboys died the
copies he had written, that could be of
no earthly use to any one else, were
buried with him.
From these old books that he copied
he learned to form his own style; he
learned the grammar and syntax of his
beautiful language; he became acquaint-
ed with its vast stock of moral precepts,
religious and mythical traditions, and
with the unnumbered poems and tales
that undoubtedly abounded, and of
which the merest fragments have come
down to us. Two classes of writings
were preferred for this purpose, moral
precepts and letters. 1t was considered
absolutely indispensable to inculcate on
the minds of the pupils vast numbers of
moral precepts. Letter writing was con-
sidered u high and difficult art, and the
pupils needed very special preparation

James Alberry was a bright and most
original playwright; he will be remem-
bered chiefly as the author of 1.-THE Two
Roses" Poor Alberry was one of those
unfortunate men whom the world did
not seem to appreciate as he deserved.
He grew discouraged of late years and
sought solace in the wine cup. Years
ago, when she was a mere girl, he mar
ried Mary Moore, of Charles Wyndham's
company, for whom "The Two Roses
was written. Alberry vas always very
proud of his young wife's success on the
stage. One day, when he felt particu-
larly down on his luck, he said to her:
"Ah, Mary, you are a clever little girl.
You should have married a better man
than | am" 81 did, Jim" wac her re-

LONDON, Oct. 25.-Michael Dayitt re-
sumed his address before the Parnell com
mission to-day. He said the landlord
system in Ireland should be abolished and
the land vested in the state. Eight-tenths

clared, came from Irish workingmen and
workingwomen.

CHICAGO, Oct. 25.-Taking of evil
denoe in identification was resumed in the
Cronin case this morning. The identiG.
cation was very perfect and very positive
The next matter taken up was the finding
of the body in the catch basin by two
sewer cleaners who notified the police OF
the fact and the policemen who were sent
out and assisted in removing the body
were se orn as to this point and described
the proceedings. Lawyer Forrest for the
defense, made the cress examination on
this head very s~earchingly and rigid.
He was followed by Or. Lewis, the
dentist who made a set of false teeth for
Cronin. He identified the plate taken
from Cronin's mouth as the one he made.
He said the cast for another set exactly
fitted the dead mans mouth.
At the afternoon session Dr. Egbert
stated the facts revealed by the autopsy,
describing the wounds at great length and
giving it as his opinion that death had
resulted from them. All the wounds
were on the head, but the skull was not
broken except that a small piece of bone
was chipped off at the corner of the left
eye. The stomach and some of the con-
tents were exhibited and DR.. Egbert said
that Cronin was killed within three hours
after having eaten.
The cross-examination of DR.. Egbert
developed the fact that none of the
wounds were such as would cause death.
1t was impossible, he admitted. to say
whether the wounds were inflicted before
or after death. If death had resulted
from the skull wounds it would in all
probability have been caused by concus-
sion of the brain.

SOMETHING NEW.

The brilliant discoveries OF the nine
teenth century, are astounding compared
with preceding ages. The wonderful re-
suits accomplished by steam are inuum-
cradle, but electricity is steadily pushing
its way to the front. The names of Ed.
son and Clarke will shine as stars in future
ages. Now, the latest discovery, but not
the least. of the epoch is the mounting
of animals, birds, etc. BY electricity.
This wonderful process in taxidermy is ac-
complished BYE. Clarke, the greatest tax
ermist of the age laboratory and mus
cum at 5l7 West Sixteenth street.

CHANGE is one of the irresistnble lnws

Change is one of the irresistible laws
of nature, and fortunately the change is
almost invariably for the better. AS an
instance of this St. Patrick's Pills are fast
taking the place of the old harsh and vlo-
lent cathartics, because they are milder
and produce a more pleas mt effect, be-
sides they are much more beneficial in re-
moving mobid matter from the system
and preventing ague and other malarious
diseases. As a cathartic and liver pill
they are almost perfect. For sale by B.
