Latest Development Of the Athletic Craze

Clara Bellies New York Letter.
The private shooting gallery for the FAM
lily is naturally Il sequence Of the interest
taken by many rich women in the use of
shotgun and rife. About the first one
known in this city was fitted up by belle
of our own and Washington society, who
appropriated u generous portion of her pin
money for that purpose. A hall in the
paternal mansion remote from the street and
the living rooms is made an attractive re-
treat to lovers of sport On the walls are
hung engravings Of the goddess Diana in
her many representations as patroness of
the chase. and alternating with these
are trophies Of the beautiful owners
skill in the hunt the most notable being
bearskin with claws tipped with gold.
In the interim between the winter festiy-
tiles and the summer hegira to beach and
mountain frequents, parties OF sporting
doves are gathered in this gallery. 1t is
considered an especial mark Of favor by the
young lady's male friends to be invited to
these parties, an impression she is careful
not to lessen by too frequent hospitality.
Once inside this gallery the doves are trans
formed into Dianas of the most correct
form. Attired In tunics loosely confined by
girdle or cestus. aud sort OF skirt. neat
stockings and feet in buskIns, there thew
are, dazzling company-Diana and her
nymphs-especially when the fancy takes
them to sling bow and arrows at the back,
we'll out OF the way. and crown their fore
heads with silver crescent. It is impos-
sible to record the scores made on these
occasions, although they, as well as the
work Of certain invisible marksman with
bow and arrow, are worthy of mention.

MARVELLOUS WATER.
Lake In the Stnte of Washington Which
Cures Diseases,

Cures Diseases.
MEDICAL LAKE, WASH, May o.
Twenty-Five years ago Frenchman crossed
the continent with large flock of sheep.
He lost great numbers while moving through
the arid region, and when he arrived in
Washington the sheep that still lived were
covered with various skin diseases. One
evening, as he was preparing for an encamp-
ment he got glimpse through the woods
of a beautiful lake, and he hastened for
ward to its shores. The sheep rushed into
the water and began to drink copiouslY. He
was still more astonished when he tasted the
water and found it bitter and disagreeable,
as well as dissimilar to anything he had ever
tasted. Fearing the sheep would be pois-
oned, he drove them out of the water, but
in spite of his efforts they returned again.
The sheep were in such a condition from
disease that he had small hope OF their re-
covery, so he ended by allowing them to
drink what he believed to be the poisonous
waters as plentitully as they would. Next
day he could not drive the sheep away from
the vicinity OF the lake, and in few days
more he was utterly sstonished to find that
his sheep were restored to wonderfully
healthy condition. Thereupon the French
mon uO udu TOduueu ldr
he fixed himself homestead beside the
shores of the lake, which is now called Med
ical Lake.
These waters contain salts of sodium,
potassium, lithium, iron, carbon, magnesium,
calcium, aluminium, silicon, sulphur and
borium. They are either in combination
with one another or linked by oxygen. The
solution of these various salts in the waters
of Medical Lake produce results which
dozen years ago would have been deemed
miraculous. The waters cleanse and feel
like water with solution of soap. They
taste disagreeable and nauseous. The lake
is but dozen miles or SO from Spokane
Falls. There is a fine country surrounding
it, and it enjoys that glorious summer
climate with which the States west of the
Rocky Mountains are blest. The winters
are shorter and far less severe than you en-
dufe in New England.

is Just back from Borneo. He says: 'Tbs
natives of Borneo are divided into innumer-
able tribes, averaging 30 to 40 families each.
They wear little or no clothing, the general
garb being breech cloth tied about their
loins. Away back In the interior is a tribe
that the natives call orang-outangs, who
live like monkeys, subsisting on roots and
fruit. 1t was among these people Darwin
hoped to find his missing link, and had
party of explorers among them for many
months,
"The natives are without exception head
hunters. This practice is similar to the
scalp-taking of the American Indians. and
their long, low houses are decorated with
skulls OF men they have slain. I seldom
went into house that did not contain from
40 to 30 skulls strung about. Not long be-
fore left the island large party returned
from an expedition against neighboring
tribes, and brought with them nearly 900
heads. 1t is almost impossible te stop the
practice. 1t is for the young brave who has
the greatest number Of heads that the savage
maiden has the sweetest smile, and he who
has none or few ID considered worthless"

PLANNING MANY IMPROVEMENTS.
Changes In the Terminal Facilities of the
Pennsylvania Railroad.

Pennsylvnnia Railroad.
NEW YORK, May 5.-The Pennsylvania
Railroad is making great many changes in
its terminal facilities. Its tracks are to be
elevated from the Point OF Rocks to the ferry
at Jersey City. The work Is we'll under
way. 1t Is said by the officials that the
work of elevating the tracks will not inter-
fere with the regular traffic. When COM
pleted, the trains will cross the streets 13
feet above grade, and it is proposed to build
q new station two stories in height, the
lower floor to be used for offices for the var
ious departments, with possibly large
restaurant. The second floor will be the
station proper.
Plans are now under consideration for
building four double-deeked ferry boats,
the lower part to be given up entirely to
teams and the upper floors to be one grand
saloon. This will enable passengers to
walk from the cars direct to the boat with
out running the risk of being knocked over
by the teams as at present, and as the COM
pany has secured permission from the Al
dermen to erect bridges over West street,
passengers by the Pennsylvania Railroad
will have little trouble in going to or from
their trains.
A new ferry is also to be established from
First street, Jersey City, to the New West
Washington Market. A new freight depot
is now being built in Jersey City, to take
the place of the one now in use, which will
have to go to make room for the elevation of
the tracks and the approach to the new
station. The railroad has also secured land
at West Thirty-seventh and Thrty-eighth
streets, on the North river, where it intends
to make a'fne track delivery station.

oil wells will be commenced, one in Wash
lngton county and one in Jefferson county,

members of the company were so confident
OF the latter field that many of them have
expressed desire to take an interest, but
the company is capable of handling them
alone.
The company has enough gas for its
present consumers, but could use more if
they had it, and it is the intention to bore
Tor wells during the year. The running ex-
penses for 1889, ending March 81, were $780,

vote, recommended that the company begin
paying quarterly dividends July next at a
rate of per cent.

JEWEL OF THE COBRA.
Explanation of n Wonder That Has Long
Puzzled tho Naturalist.

Explanation of n Wonder Thar Has Long
Puzzled tho Naturalist.
Harper's Magazine.I
The natives of the Jungle say some cobras
carry precious stones about with them, and
at night coil in the grass to watch them
glitter. Prof. Hensoldt the Indian traveller,
says: "One night a native called me to see
this wonder. Close to the waters edge stood
an immense tamarind tree, aud within 90
yards Of it the coOlie halted, and mysteri-
ously pointed to the root OF the tree. A foot
from the trunk observed in the grass a
greenish light, apparently proceeding from
a single point. After a time could see the
cobra coiled near the foot of the tree, slowly
swaying its head to and fro in front of the
shining object.
Unfortunately had no gun and my
guide, who seemed to feel that he was re-
sponsible for my safety, entreated me so
earnestly to let the snake alone that I
acceded. Moreover he promised to bring
me this stone within three days. The coolie
kept his word, for the second morning after
ward he brought the stone He had climbed
the tamarind tree before dark, and after the
snake had taken up his position he had
emptied bag Of ashes upon the stone.
The frightened reptile, after chasing about
for awhile trying to find its treasure, had
gone off. The coolie remained in his safe
position until daylight. when he descended
the tree, dug the stone out of the ashes and
here 1t was in my hand.
''The cobra stone was semi-transparent,
water-worn pebble of yellowish color about
the size OF large pea, which in the dark,
when previously warmed, emitted o green
ish, phosphorescent light. found il to be
chlorophane, rare variety Of fuor-spar.
''The mystery is not difficult to explain.
Cobras feed on insects, and seem to have an
especial liking for irehies. Only the male
frehes fly about. and close observer will
notice that constant swarm of the male
insects will fly near the females, which sit
on the ground and emit an intermittent
glowing light. The cobra uses his phos-
phorescent stone as decoy for the firefies.
would lead to the snakes seiz-
ing and carrying off the treasure, and habit
has become hereditary"

SUCCESSFUL LADY BARBER.

She Conducts n St. Louis Shop and Has an
Immense Ruu of Trade.
ST. Louis Republic.l
A pretty, dark-haired, brown-eyed young
woman of about 25 years of age has dawned
on the town as ST. Louis first female barber.
She has come like a dream in the night,
stealing away the sleep of the dudes and
troubling the slumber of the bald-headed
graybeards. Her name is Mrs. Emma Pen
right, and she has a Shaving parlor"-not
barber shop-at 1922 Olive street, and is
enjoying reign of prosperity unparalleled
In tonsorlal history In st. Louis. Crowds
throng round her window every night and
look upon her with unfeigned interest as
though she were being from realms un-
known.
But she is matter-of-fact little BODY. and
furthermore has the knack of getting around
mans chin that is pleasant to the sense of
feeling. She says she learned the barber's
trade four years ago in Kansas CITY in her
husbands shaving parIor. Those who have
had their boards amputated beneath her
skliful hand cannot help but feel the woman
iy dignity that is the characteristic of this
barber-or rightly, barberess. She is of the
opinion that women in the barber's chair
are twice as querulous as men, and she
would much rather shave and barber man
than attempt to bang lady's hair.

COUNTING THEPROFIT
Annual Meetings of a Number of
Corporations Held Yesterday.
A COUPLE OF GAS COMPANIES
Show What Money is to be Made in Dealing
Out the Natural Fuel.
THE OFFICERS ELECTED ALL AROUND

Any number of annual meetings were
held in the city yesterday, covering vari-
ETY. of interests. Railroads, gas and cleo
tricity were we'll represented. and a car
trust, which is closely akin to railroad,
was even in the list. The reporters wondered
what broke loose, and the boys especially
who were assigned to cover them all had
their hands full. There may be something
agreeable about the weather at this time of
the year that makes it pleasant for stock
holders to come together, look into
each others faces around table, and count
their profits for the last 365 days. Certainly
a more delightful day could not have been
selected than yesterday for such purpose,
and the numerous meetings showed that the
wiry and watchful stockholders were on the
alert.
There was no janglfng or squabbling at
any of the gatherings, and with good round
sum ahead of the game with all of them ex-
cept one railroad, how could anything else
but harmony prevail? A gaze at the list
that follows will prevent ones saying that
there are no companies making money in
Pittsburg. The city is full of them, and
many manage to meet on the same day.

at this moment engaged on this branch OF
the census work alone.
THE MAIN OBJECT.

the census work alone.
THE MAIN OBJECT.
In this short article 1t would be impossi-
BILE to give even a eursory idea of the in
Vulnerable methods employed by the Census
Office experts or "sharps," as they are now
called, in gathering the varied facts for
their numerous reports. The main thing,
after such inquiries are taken out of the
hands of the enumerator, is to prepare cor
rect lists of all the establishments in cases
of manufacturing, OF all mines in that Of
mining of all the fishing villages and fish
ing ports, in such inquiries relating to fish
and fisheries.
Even the poor Indian must be investi-
gated. What boy is not interested in the
Indian. though, I fear, as a rule, boys are
not so much interested in the social condi-
tion OF the Indian as they are in the stories
of his adventures and conflicts with the
white man. The Census Office will not 60
into these facts, though no doubt the large
body of special agents, whose duty 1t Will
be to visit all the reservations and sections
OF country where the Indians still roam,
would be able to tell some interesting and
startling stories when they return.
The present census will probably cost in
the neighborhood of $40, 900, and when
it is completed it will mark another decade
in the material progress of the country. Be-
tore another census year rolls around the
