New York's Opportunity.

For its $500, 200 OF expenses it is es.
timated that New York took in $1O,-
10000, spent by strangers during the
three days. The people who made the
contracts with caterers for feeding the
militia are now complaining that tho
rations were simply vile and the visiting
regiments had to live upon tainted meat,
bad coffee and uneatable bread. This
would increase the popular profits still
further. Perhaps $l1 200, 900 would rep
resent what W as really paid out by the
strangers. OF this amount il is reason-
able to say $S,000,O00 was clear profit,
which is Il pretty neat return for n
$500, 900 investment and the inapprecia-
bic wear and tear on national sentiment
in that city. What will they do with
itP What should they do with it If not
TO apply some of it to the erection of
their monuments? Now is their golden
opportunity. They have been clamor-
ing two or three years for outside help,
and now outsiders have put millions OF
money into their pockets. With this
! amount they can not only erect tho
Grant monument but tho monuments Is Of

A Barber's Fishing Trip,

A singular and nearly fatal accident
occurred here some time since, says a
Macon (Miss.) letter to the st. Louis
Globe-democrat Henry Massengale,
a barber OF this place, whose word is
truth itself. was the principal figure in
the drama. The Noxubee river, which
flows past the city, is a deep but mar
row stream, and is the home and
breeding-place of the cotton mouthed
Inoccasin and alligator-gar, both Of
which are full OF fight. Massengale
went out fishing. and in passing
through pastulc on the river was
furiously attacked by Jersey bull be-
longing to Jacob Holberg. He drop
ped his tackle, made bee line for the
river, and sought safety on log
which extended into the stream. The
bull stood at tho shores end believing
and literally tearing up the earth.
just as Massengalc was congratulating
himself on his escape no happened to
glance around and to his horror saw
two immense moccasins. with open
mouths, glittering eyes, and vibrating
tongues, slowly crawling toward him
from the other end Of the log. His
hair would have stood on end had it
not been kinlky. Moccasins are doubly
dangerous when counting. There was
but one chance now for escape and
Massengale took that. He leaped into
the river and made for the other bank.
No sooner had he touched the water
than he was attacked by number OF
alligator gars. lie fought them off as
we'll as he could and finally reached
the opposite bank more dead than
alive, having received seven wounds
from these creatures. He was found
in this condition by a party OF miners,
who were engaged in getting out phos-
phates from n bluff on the river and
hauling it to the fertilizer factory here.

Wagons. Massengale now lies In u

How a Boston Rat Utilized II. Tall.

Boston Globe.
A waiter at the Metropolitan hotel
on Washington Street says there is a
rat OF Unusual Intelligence which
haunts the hotel kitchen, and, when
occasion offers, steals food from the
cook. He says this rat ought to be
caught and exhibited as a marvel of
the dime museums. Several stories of
sagacity are told about this rodent, of
which the following is one:
"a few evenings ago, said the watt
or, II had occasion to go down into
the kitchen. 1t was dusky when /
arrived and as soon as my eyes would
permit me to get used 10 the light
saw>a large rat walk deliberately up to
dish OF doughnuts and begin to take
them out one by one and string them
on his tail as you would string beads.
When he had put on five and loaded
his tail all up he turned around, took
the end OF his tail between his teeth,
and walked off as If he were going to
muster"

Not Enough Good Things.
Detroit Evening News.


So far from being oversupplied with
the products Of labor which constitute
the necessaries Of life, it is notorious
that millions Of the people are so de-
flciently supplied that they are in sore
distress. Their power OF consumption
is more than adequate to use up every
thing that labor produces, but their
power ofpurchasing is not adequate to
purchase it. That is what ails them,
and that is all that ails them. If every
family in the country had means to
purchase all the houses, clothes, boots
and shoes. and food they would like to
consume the productive energy of the
country would be more than exhausted
in the work OF supply, though tho ma
chinery were kept running night and
day.

In small garrison town In Prussia,

WHY WE ARE Rlo4r-aAnpED.
Protecting the Most Exposed and
Vulnerable Part OF Our Bodies.


Vulnerable Part OF Our Bodies.
Primitive man, being by nature a
fighting animal, says the Cornhill
Magazine, fought for the most part at
first with great canine teeth, his nails,
and his fists; till in process of time he
added to those early and natural
weapons the further persuasions of q
club or shillelagh. He also fought, as
Darwin has very conclusively shown
in the man, for the possession of the
ladies of his kind, against other
members of his own sex and species.
And If you fight you soon learn to pro-
tect the most exposed and vulne rable
portion of your body. Or if you don't,
natural selection manages it for you,
by killing you off as an immediate con-
sequence.
10 the boxer, wrestler. or hand-to.
hand combatant that most vulnerable
portion is undoubtedly the heart A
hard blow, we'll delivered on the lef,
breast will easily kill, or at any rate
stun, even a very strong man. Hence,
from a very early period men have
used the right hand to fight with and
have employed the left arm chiefly to
cover the heart and to parry blow
aimed at that special ly vulnerable
region. And when wea pons of offense
and defense supersede mere fists and
teeth it is the right hand that grasps
the spear or sword, while the left holds
over the heart for defense the shield
or buckler.
From this simple origin, then, tn e
whole vast difference OF right and left
in civilized life takes its beginning.
At first, no doubt, the superauity ol
the right hand was only felt in the
manner of fighting. But that alone
gave it distinct pull and paved the
way at last for its supremacy else
where. For when weapons came into
use the habitual employment of the
right hand to grasp the spear, sword,
or knife made the nerves or muscles
of the right side far more obedient to
the control OF the will than those OF
the left Tho dexterity thus acquires
by the rlght-see how the word 'dex-
terity" implies this fact-made it more
natural for the early hunter and arti-
ficer to employ the same hand prefer.
entially in the manufacture of flint
hatchets, bows and arrows, and all the
other manifold activities OF savage
life. 1t was the hand with which he
grasped his weapon; it was therefore
the hand with which he Clipped it.
To the very end, however, the right
hand remains especially 'the hand in
which you hold your knife" and that
is exactly how our own children to
this day decide the question which is
which when they begin to know their
right hand from their left for prac.
tical purposes.

Antique Marble.
Stone.

Marble is divided into antique and
modern. Antique marble is that
which came from quarries which are
now either exhausted or unknown.
Modern marbles are those which are
still being quarried. The antique
marble Quarries which were in Greece
and from which were made the most
beautiful statues still existing in Italy
are unknown now. We use in its
place Carrara marble. Tho finest Of
these antique marbles is the lapis. 1t
is Of deep blue color, stained with a
clearer sky blue and intermixed with
veins OF golden hue. This marble, be-
cause of its rarity, was only used for
inlaying. There are several speci-
mems OF it still to be seen in mosaic.
"Porphyry" ranks next to the lapis in
value. and is the hardest OF the an
tique marbles. 1t was brought from
quarries in Nurnidia in Africa, and was
called the Numidian lapis. 1t varied
in color, being either red, gray or
green. The red variety is susceptible
OF the highest polish, and is OF deep
red color with white spots in 1t. The
green porphyry was very rare, and is
only known through very few vases
and slabs. Serpentine was formerly
obtained from the Egyptian quarries.
The stone used by the ancients in the
largest quantities was granite. Most
OF the buildings Of Rome, even to the
dwellings. OF private citizens, were
decorated with it, and it is evident
that this stone was abundant from the
amount that was used. We find it in
many colors and qualities, and applied
to every use to which stone can be put.

Irresistible Bait for Rats.

An interesting, not to say valuable
discovery, has been made by Captain
Weedin, in charge of the animals at
the Zoo. The building is infested by
rats, and how to get rid of them has
long been a perplexing question
Traps were used, but nothing would
tempt the rodents to enter. In a
store-room drawer was placed guam
tity of sun-fower seeds, used as food
for some of the birds. Into this
drawer the rats gnawed their way,
a fact which led the Captain to ex-
pertinent with them for bait in the
traps. The result was that the rats
can't be kept out. A trap which ap-
pears crowded with six or eight rats
is found some morning to hold fifteen.
They are turned into the cages con-
tanning weasels and minks. The
latter will kill rat absolutely almost
before one can see it, so rapid are their
movements. The weasels are trifie
slower, but none of the rats escape
them.-Washington Cor. Cincinnati
