sweetheart in the nearer seat at once, and
then stopped and asked the musician to
take the one beyond him. The fellow never

All eyes we're directed at the young man
standing in front Of his girl and holding on
by a strap and the musician sitting sullenly
in his seat with his small instrument in his
lap. The girl was smiling and blushing
and gazing at the young man out of a pair
OF beautiful blue eyes in a manner that
might compensate him for any moment of
hardship encountered in her behalf.
She was very pref Y girl, with teeth as
white as snow, and there were many men

Her little hands were folded m0destly in

THE SAUSAGE BUYER.
How He Has the Butcher at a Great
Disadvantage.
From the Net0 York World.

From the NetC York World.
The Frenchman who recently started the
horse-sausage factory in New Jersey did
not, it seems, take all the butchers in to his
confidence. Because of this oversight he
placed the butchers at a great disadvantage
in dealing with customers of an inquirng
turn of mind, as will be seen in the follow
ing case:
YES" said the butcher, when the re-
porter dropped in to pay his respects, "we
have some queer customers. Now, there
was the fellow who came in yesterday to
buy some sausage.
is this sausage well brokanP he asked.
Certainly l said, supposing he referred
to the grinding. 1t is as well broken as
any sausage ever sold.'
" Glad of that he said, for | want this
as strictly family sausage, and don't want
any of the children, or my wife, or my
wIfe's folks to get hurt OF course it won't
scare at the RS, cause sausage that scares
at the cars amt safe, no how. How is it
for quarter-crack and grease heel? Nothing
the matter with its wind? No stump
sucker, or anything like that, hope, cause
stump-sucker is the all-f edest meanest
thing alive | used to have one when | was
driving stage out west Whenever he
would get chance he would seize hold of a
hitching post a fence rail, or anything like
Ihtit, anu pun away as II ne was going to
suck up huge leviathan from the vastly
deep.
81 thought the fellow was crazy" said
the butcher, "and SO l sort of humored
him. | tod him l would suffer everlasting
torment before would sell friend sausage
that wasn't all right in every par ocular.
How about its pedigreep he went on.
Comes Of good strain, hope; cause much
depends on that, you know
Il told him l knew much depended on
that, and was sure he would find its pedi--
gree all right.
Registered, have no doubt he con
tinued. You need not hesitate to say If it
has ever been in the street car service,
cause with me that is no objection. Mr..
Bonner's great Auburn horse used to drag
street car, you know, aud brother of
Jay-Eye-See is now toiling on street car
line in st. Paul
II began to get tired of all this rot said
the butcher, land asked the fellow if he
was buying few links of sausage or filing
a government contract for mules.n
THAT'S just it, he said. Il don't know,
However, | will not buy before tomorrow,
and in the mean time you can hitch it up to
a road-wagou and will make up my mind
what will do"

CRILD IN sURANCE.
The Terrible Crimes 1t Leads To-A

The Terrible Crimes 1t Leads To-A
New York Ca Sc.
New YORK, Feb. H. The Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Children will
endeavor to prevent the return of the little
bye rod child, May Collins, to her step
mother, Mrs. Hannah Collins, of No. 81
Greenwich street. It is claimed that Mrs.
Collins maltreated the little one in a shock
ing manner. When taken in charge a
month ago, Mays left cheek was swollen to
twice its natural siza, there were two cuts
on her head, the third finger of her left
hand was cut to the bone, her nose was
bruised, and her right arm was broken.
"We have just found OUT" said Supt.
Jenkins of the Society for the Pre-
vention of Cruelty to Children, when
visited yesterday at the society'S headquar-
tiers, that Stepmother Collins had little
Mays life insured in the Metropolitan In
surance Company for $40.
"This insuring children under years of
age is a terri bile thing, and the legislature
should pass law prohibiting it. There is
great agitation going on in England now
about it, A attempt is also being made in
Pennsylvania to prevent insurance COM
panies from insuring small children. The
case of the Wakeley woman in Philadelphia,
who murdered her two children SO that sle
might colleci the burial Insurance on their
lives, stirred up the community there to
the horrors OF tne thing. A bill was intro
duced in the legislature to abolish child in
surance, but l believe the insurance COM
panies defeated it,
''In England the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Children had a case of a
woman who deliberately starved her child
TO death in order that she might collect the
insurance on its life. The society over there
is at present trying to have the insurance of
children under 10 years of age abolished,
and hope they will succeed
I'm three-fourths of the cases of neglect
and inhuInan treatment of children that our
society attends to in year we find that the
guardians, parents or step-parentS of the
children have insurance on their lives. |
believe that there are to-day at least 100, 600
children under years of age that have a
burial insurance upon their lives in the state.
The insurance agents are constantly going
through the tenement use districts getting
people to insure their children The highest
insurance they take on a child is about
$780,
Take the case that we had short time
ago, when we succeeded in sending the Du-
bois woman to the penite Itiary for year
and half for burning her child Della with
hot irons and throwing red pepper on the
burns The child of the Dubois woman
was insured for 800. / tell YOU
that it is enough to make ones flesh creep to
think of the temptation it gives to drunken,
brutal mothers who have lost the natural
instincts of humanity"

Is the Sun BlueP
From the st. Louis Republic.


Ore of the shining lights of astronomical
science has this to say in regard to the color
of the sun:
st may be asked: What suggests the
idea that the sun is bluer NY own atten-
ton was directed this way many years ago.
when measuring the heat aud light from
different parts of the SUMS disc. 1t is
known that the sun has an atmosphere of
its OWN, which tempers its heat, and, by
cutting off certain radiations and not
others, produces the spectral lines with
which we are so familiar. These lines we
usually study in connection with the alb
sorblng vapors of sodium, iron. etc.
which produce them, but my own attention
was par icularly given to the regions of alb
sorption, or to the color it caused. In these
Investigations | found that the SUMS bod :,
must be of deep blush color and that il
would sned deep blue light, except for the
solar atmosphere, which is usually spoken
of as being colorleSs, but which really pla vs.
the part OF reddish veil, letting little Of
the blue appear on tue center Of the SUMS
disc, where it is the thinnest, and staining
the edge red, SO as 30 appear to a delicate
test as being Il pale aqua marine in the cen
ter and deep garnet around the edge.
The effect 1 found to be so i'm
portant that, were this ell but invisible
solar atmosphere diminished only by q third
part, the temperature Of all temperate
zones would rise higher than any torrid
zone, and make the greater part of the
world uninhabitabe.
These stuiies directed my attention to the
great practical Importance Of studying the
action of our own terrestrial atmosphere on
the sun, and the antece lent probability
that our own air was also, and indepepd-
emily having the effect of making a really
blue sunshine and sun appear as white.

Electric Lights and the Eyes.

From the st. Louis Globe Democrat.
The men who made the electric light the
indispensl able thing 10 us that it is to-day
must go a step further and invent some
means of softening it, or we will become a
nation of blird people in few more gen.
erations. No eye can sustain the glare of
the electric light that now meets the gaze
everywhere. 1t is ruinous to the sight end
induces paralysis of the eye. Any defect
in the eye is readily transmitted to children.
aud we can easily see what weak and un-
heal by eyes people will have after the cleo
trio light has been at WORK upon several de-
grees of ancestors
We are much too reckless in our use of
the light when little canton would relieve
the eye from the danger. There is no good
reason why spectator in theater or ball
should have TO look at an electric light or
past one in fixing his eyes on the stage, and
yet this IS what he must do n wv and then.
NJr should one read or write by the electric
light, yet there are a large number Of people
in st. Louis and every large city who never
use any other light for night work. The
only light the eyes will stand BEAUTIFULLY is
soft lamp light, and people will have to
pay in the future for giving it up contempt
uously as they have done.

M'FARLIN's STORY.

he says he was So Drunk He Didn't
Know ANY One Had Been Shot.
TALLAHASSEE, FLA, Feb. 1.-THE
cowardly murder of Deputy Marshal
Saunders at Quincy has been the general
topic of conversation in Tallahassee during
the past week, and a leading question has
been, "What became of McFarlin" The
press dispatches from Quincy have given
very meager Information, and no mention
of what became of McFarlin after the
shooting has been made. This led the gem
eral public to believe that there was a strong
chain of circumstantial evidence against
him, and that he had left the country. A
prominent citizen of Quincy was here yes
terday and from him the MORNING News
reporter learned the following facts, which
throw some light upon McFarlin's where
abouts and long silence.
UNDER ARREST.
McFarlin walke1 back into Quincy on
the afternoon Of the killing, and was i'm
medlately arrested and lodged in iail. but
was in such state of intoxication that he
could not talk. He had become drunk on
beer, and did not sober up sufficiently to
give any account of himself until Saturday
evening. He then told his story. which
was. in substance, that in driving along the
road in a deep cut, on the way to Santa
Clara plantation, one of his companions
remarked that it was time to take a drink.
He was sitting between Saunders and
Sheppard. and was driving He stopped
the horse, got out, and started to walk
around the buggy to get out the beer.
THE SHOOTING.
Just then he heard two or three pistol or
gun shots fire close by, the horse plunged
forward and left him standing in the road.
and, thinking that Saunders or Sheppard
had fired the shots and driven ahead to
play joke upon him and keep him from
drinking the beer, he got mad and started
to walk back to town. He knew he was
very drunk, and by the time he reached
town Lad become SO muddled that he did
not know what was going on, and did not
even know that Saunders had been shot
until ne sobered up Saturday.
The MORNING NEWS man also learned
that the wounds which caused Saunders
death anged downward, and had evidently
been fred from the emDankment above the
road.

upon the British establishment aud 10, 400

proper numbers, though the British eStab-
lishment much more closely approaches the
numbers allowed than the Indian. The
thirty-one cavalry regiments take the
largest share of the animals, but their total
is only II 800 horses to mount Is, 900 men,
leaving about one-third of the troopers dis
mounted. The royal horse artillery has
