They Have Cause to be Proud.
DENVER, August 23.-[Special to THE
BEE. l-Denverites are naturally proud.
They have a right to feel so, for they
have many glorious things to be proud
of. They especially boast of their eli
mate, as though it had been made es-
pecially for them. They have been
talking as though they had trust in
fair weather predictions. Their pride
over the weather has had fall, several
of them, falls of rain, which caused the
despondent mud to swash over even the
rock-bedded streets of Denver. "No,
no, we have no need of paving in Den
YER. The streets are made of the solid
rock itself, and we are all right" That
has been the talk, but a good deal of
dirt can accumulate on the top of rock,
and heavy rains will make mud of it,
causing pedestrians to wade and swear.
So this season has proven to the entire
dissatisfaction of a good many. The
merchants who have never had any oc-
casion to keep stocks of rubbers and
gossamers, have been distracted over
this seasons demand. The local pc
destrlans, who for the fast time in
years have attempted to move rubber
clad feet, do so as awkwardly as if learn
ing anew to walk. 1t has been q queer
season for Denver.
Denver has also been proud of its
cable lines, which are being extended
in all directions. Like the weather it
has been a just cause OF pride. The
rain came, though, and it sadly dam
pened the enthusiasm. The power
house was flooded, the rain buried the
tracks in places out OF sight,and choked
the groove of the grip. The announce
ment that the cable cars had quit run
ming on account Of too much wet wealth
er, was a sensational one to sunshiny
Denver. Fortunately Denver enter
prise was not drowned out, and soon the
grip was doing its work.
During the hours OF stoppage there
WAS naturally to be heard much talk
about cable lines, electric lines, horse
cars, etc. 1t was wonderful how often
a remark could be heard sounding the
praise of the electric line between
Council Bluffs and Omaha. In all dis
cussion of the matter OF transit there is
liable to pop up some enthusiast, who
taking 1T for granted that the othe~s in
the group are ignorant of the fact, pro-
ceeds to discourse glibly as TO the won
ders of the electric line across the Mis-
souri,. Denver had an electric line, but
it tore it out last year, the system not
working satisfactorily. The system
had an underground wire instead OF
overhead, and was in other respects diff.
ferent from the Omaha and Bluffs lines.
In the street corner and street car talk
on this topic, it is evident that the
electric line is doing its full share to ad-
yertise the two cities which it cts.
Denver is the hub for the Colorado
tourists. One can see great cities in
the east without coming west to look on
fine buildings and busy streets. But
-" cannot see the grand mountains OF

the verdict is ''the best apple pie
ever tasted" How much of the success
of the forty cent pie experiment is due
to the appetizing influence of the
climate, and the exhileration of the
ride, and how much to the pie will ever
remain an unsettled problem. One fact
is discovered. and that Is the famous
apple pie of ''The Forks" is not an ap
pie after all, but is mixed. Enough of
theN peach is introduced to give it a
peculiar flavor, and this may in part be
the secret of the phenomenal success of
the pie factory of the mountains.
Another whirl amid rocks and back
wards and forwards across the creek,
brings one to Idaho springs. Here for
the first time the real rush of ''speci-
men fiends" appears. Bare footed lads
and rosy checked lassies swarm about
the train, and over it and through it.
Each has a cigar box full Of broken
rock. Wonderful specimens, indeed,
so they seem to the noyitlate and ten
derfoot fresh from his prairie home,
where there are not enough pebbles to
even drive away strange dogs. You
are tempted to buy box of these
minerals, and quarter or a half dol
lar sends q fiend away happy, and leaves
you in possession of box. Before you
have been half day longer in this
wonderland of mineral wealth you will
have thrown away box and all. You
noticed when you bought the specimens
that the man across the aisle turned his
face away to conceal smile. You
understand it now. These lads and
lassies scoop up handful of these
stones anywhere, throw them into
box, and then bait their victims. AS
soon as yoa leave the train and begin
scrambling over the rocks and noun
tains, you find so many and much more
attractive ones scattered everywhere
that your only wonder Is that the man
across the aisle did not roar outright.
But you are not thoroughly cured yet.
There are so many glittering, brightly
cOlored, queerly formed bits OF rock
that you begin to gather up acollection
of your own. Every scramble you take,
every little trip you make, you will be
carry. After tugging til I'm to your
room. you deposit them, Ind the next
climb you take you add to the ac-
emulation. BY the time you are ready
to pack your luggage and start for the
next point of sojourn, you have tired OF
the whole pile, and leave them for the
chambermaid to dispose Of. AT the
hotels throughout the canyon you can
always tell when room mas been va
Gated. You will see the chambermaid
throwing stones out of the window. A
shower OF rock from overhead is II sure
announcement to you, as you sit on the
veranda below, that tourists have va
Gated their apartments. Each we'll
regulated hotel has vacant lot ad-
iacent to it, for the special deposit OF
these specimens. which please the
gatherer for moment and are then
discarded. This fickleness is doubtless
wise provision of nature, to prevent
the mountains being carried away en-
tirely.

A Study OF women's Feet.


An amateur photographer recently
exhibited to q Brunswick (Ga. Times
reporter series of twenty-six photo
graphs taken by him on ST. Simon's
island during encampment week in
June last. Most of them showed the
counterfeit presentments of surf-bath-
bathers on the beach in front of the
Hotel st. Simon's. A regularity about
them was that in every case except one
the upper part of the figure was blurred
beyond recognition, while the feet stood
out in startling proportions. BY way
of explanation. the photographer said:
II was a green hand with the camera,
and somehow or other l couldn't make
the thing work so as to take perfect
picture. But just look at these feet!
They are large, but their outlines are
pe rfect. Since the photographs have

whose home is IN Atlanta.
These little bumps on the toes are
corns. If you'll examine closely you'll
observe that there are seventeen of
them. Don't you know the young lady
preferred sitting down to standing up?
| These corns were made by tight shoes.
| The unfortunate owner OF the feet be-
longs to that very large class of women
who, when they buy shoes fit their
head instead of their feet"
The reporter picked up a photograph
which showed a pair of feet in slippers.
"Whose are these2" he asked.
| "They belong to Madison girl" was
the reply. Your never saw feet more
perfect. BY the way, / want to call
your attention to a discovery I've made.
These are the feet Of blonde. You
will never see blonde whose feet are
ugly. They may be large, but they will
be shapely. There's one small corn down

owner OF these feet was one OF the most

She completely captured the hearts of
the Columbus guards, and, am told,
will become the wife OF member of
that company in the fall.n
Among the photographs was one
which displayed an extremely hand
some figure and feet just as perfect as

had In his hand the picture of charm

THE JOYS OF A GYPSY LIFE.
Why Tents are Preferable to Box
Like Houses.
TRUE CHILDREN OF NATURE.
A Queeniy Old Lady Talks About the
Nomadic Ways of Her People
and the Countries She Has
Visited.
The Dark Dwellers in Tents.

Down on the river bottoms, at the
foot of Grace street, is an encampment
of gypsies. They are so totally unlike
Che gypsies we read of that they deserve
especial notice. There are no dark, vii
lainous-looking brigands with red
sashes, stuck full of knives, who mutter
'Car-r-r-amba" or "Maledicto" as you
approach; neither are there any ugly
old crones who want their ''palms
crossed with silver" as an inducement
tor them TO peer into the mysteries OF
the future in your behalf; no troop of
noisy ragged children dog your foot
steps and seek to pilfer your handkSr-
chief from your coat-tail pocket while
you vainly try to keep pack OF noisy
ours away from your heels.
On the contrary, the men, re-
sembling the gypsey of fiction
only in one respect, being dark
from exposure to the weather are affa-
BILE, good natured fellows who are
always glad to greet visitor, especially
If he has a horse to trade. The women
are all good looking and, with the ex-
ception of a trace OF gypsy about the
face, resemble in other particulars the
sisters, sweethearts and wives of ordi-
naro humanity. The children, and
there are several, are just as bright,
bonnie little flowers as are the cherubs
we caress at home. The dogs-well
there is but one dog-a big, bouncing
old collie who wags his tail in a very
friendly manner and puts his nose in
your hand, as much as to say, How do
you do, sir, am Gypsy dog"
And strange to relate, all these peo-
pie are clean. The men do not dress in
broadcloth, of course, and the women
are not clothed in satin with point lace
trimmings, neither are the children
clad in velvet but the course jeans pants
and gingham dresses will compare favor
ably with the garments worn by what
isknown AS the middle class of life. The
tents, for these gypsies dwell in tents,
are models OF neatness inside. The
sheets on the low Gets are as WIN tie as
those found on the luxurious couch OF
the rich,and everything bears evidence
OF the fact that this camp of gypsies be-
lieve that cleanliness is next TO Godli-
ness.
There are three families In this en-
campment. The eldest family bear the
name of Fisher. There are but two
members, the old man and his wife, who
have roamed together over all the world
for thirty three long years. The man
is a fne-looking specimen OF his class,
tall, broad -shouldered, with hair that
once was black as coal, but is now
tinged with silver. And while his life
from the days when his gypsy mother
lulled him to sleep in the cradle of ma
ture, has been spent in rowing from
place to place, he has acquired knowl-
edge of the usages OF what the world OF
fashion sees fit to call society, which
would fit him for almost any station.
He is not man OF letters, although he
can discuss theology and has been

nesota. Only week ago one of my
little grandchildren died and was laid
away at Florence, north of tine city. I
expect that when and my husband bid
each other farewell our graves will be
Tar apart. But nevertheless we are
happy. We love the life we lead and
ask no better. We could not settle
down in one spot and be content. The
world is ours and we roam over it.
In summer we go north and in winter
south. We have our hardships and our
joys and while, sometimes, the former
are, numerous and the latter few, we
do not complain. And, although we
become scattered here on earth we
know that some day we will be united
in land where there is no separation.

stand our choice in life with such bright
prospects, isn't lt?''

WOman's Eyes.

BY most poets and dreamers, artists
and philosophers, it is agreed that
woman IS eyes constitute her chief and
most enduring charm, says a writer in
the Troy Times. Time may make
ashes of the tint of her cheeks and de-
press their youthful roundness, coarsen
her mouth and elongate her chin; pain
and sickness, too, may rob her form OF
all its graceful curves, deprive her
voice of its once clear ring, and steal
from her hands that maidenly velvet;
but not until she is old, bowed down
and decrepit do her eyes lose their
power to sparkle with her mirth,
brighten with her Joy and soften with
her grief. From her cradle to her grave
they betray more OF her actual feelings

A Woman Cat

The woman Cat"-La Femme-chat
who has just escaped from the Sal
petiere hospital, forms n. frequent topic
of sensational talk and conjecture just
now, says Paris letter to the London
News: 1T appears that last week
good-looking and apparently healthy
girl of fifteen was taken to the hospital
by her friends. She was examined by
DR.. Parinaud, and while he was looking
at her eyes she suddenly went on all
fours, her features become distorted,
her eyes glared and, initiating the
mewing OF a cat, sde endeayOred to bite
the persons who were standing near
her. After having acted for several
moments In this manner the patient be-
gan TO lick her hands, and then gradu-
ally returned TO her senses. When
under examination by DIR. Charcot the
girl had another attack OF the malady,
which is called galeanthropic bysteri-
que, and she bit the eminent surgeon
severely IN the leg. DR.. Charcot had
hopes OF curing the patient, but she
suddenly disappeared from The Salpe-
triere, and is wandering at large

than her spoken words, and they also
manifest most enphatically such re-
monstrance as she could make forcible
by no other means.
A woman's eyes are the best of all in
dexes to her character, for by their
agency she can seldom palm off impu-
dent poldness for courage, or tricky
stimulation for modesty. To the base
woman her eyes are her worst enemies,
just as to pure woman they are her
best friends. The one they hinder in
her work of subterfuges, while the
other they justify in her honest up
rightness. Mere words, however frank
ly spoken, cannot cover the smutch on
a stained woman's soul, which her eyes
must needs disclose, any more than
baseless SANDER can shame down the
fearless frankness with which nature
lights up the eyes of the untainted.
Sweet though the words always are, a
woman's first whispered 81 love youl'
does not convey so subtle meaning to
the youth of her choice as does the
accompanying glow In her eyes.
Woman's anger, so long as she can
keep the tears back, if she has any
character to speak of, is made all-lm-
pressivc by the power OF her eyes. But
let rage so overmaster her that weep
Ing comes, drowning out the swaying
potency of her eyes," and the other
wise extraordinary magnificence OF
woman's wrath degenerates into some
thing mirth-provoking and grotesque.
When Royalty Dances.
At state balls, be it known, says
London letter to the San Francisco
Argonaut, there are no dance pro-
grammes, and so far as the royalties are
concerned, no introductions. Before
each dance the princes and princesses
confer together within the royal circle
Just in front of the dias. They are
choosing their partners. When their
selections are made--and be sure many

companies the labor of making choice

circle (if not already within it) and, II
men, approach the princesses and wait
till TIE august ladies come forward and
claim them; if ladies, the princes come

of them.
The royalties dance good deal with
each other, and i'm the square dances,
which at state dances are very consider

never walks backward. dare say when
this is known it will at once become

CURE FOR RHEUMATISM.

Remedy That seems to BE a Little

The following treatment Of rheumatism
Is So singularly original that, even II
it should be altogether inefilcacious, it
still merits to be described. 1t comes
TO us directly from Vienna, and
1t belongs to DR.. Terc.
1t is necessary at first to suppose that
you have at your own disposition a
hive with many bees. Now, the dis
coverer wishes to observe that the
sting OF a bee generally leaves after ii
a tumefaction more or less consider
able; but after certain number OF
stings this tumefaction is no longer
produced, because the body has acquir-
ed certain immunity. With rheum.
attic persons this tumefaction comes
with difficulty. and only after certain

singing process the swelling ceases
completely. Then the patient is cured
Of his rheumatism, and remains for
some time out OF danger OF relapses.
To produce a complete cure it is neccs-
sary to saturate the entire body with
bee venom, and keep on multiplying
the stings M. Terc has applied this
method in 17S cases, and administered
SO. 600 stings. He afirms that he owes
to this method evident cures Il obsti-

DESTRUCTIVE INSECTS.
Enormous Loss TO Farmers From ThelI
Unchecked Ravages


The farmers OF the country are los
ing $500, 900. 900 year from the work
OF insects. In New York one insect
caused the loss OF $4,000. 600 in one
year. The injury from insects is about
one-tenth of the crops. Many of the
insects which do the most injury dc
their work unperceived. The cater
pillar often makes punctures while
concealed beneath the foliage. and the
cut-worm hides beneath the ground in
the daytime and comes out at night to
do its work. There are probably
million species, but only $4,000 are
known. They propagate rapidly, are
constantly feeding, and do not take
time even to sleep. But they all dis
close some vulnerable point when their
habits are studied. With our present
