Emile lola, through excessive read
ing at night, has nearly lost his eye
sight.
There are about 500, 600, 900 inhab i.
tants on the globe, and there are 3065
languages and over 1000 religions.
Following the style adopted by
Mrs. Stanley many prospective brides
have arranged for silvered shoes
with their bridal costumes.
The fashionable color OF the near
future is said to be mental and tea
green, while several shades of brown
are in tensely popular, notably seal
and nut brown. Full pink will con-
tinue in high favor for evening.
A very nice point upon theatrical
proprieties is made by the censor of
plays is Paris. He has prohibited a
scene in farce, not because the scene
or the costumes In themselves were
inadmisable, but because the women
playing the parts were too large and
finely formed.
The favorite style of hair dressing
in vogue with the most fashionable
ladies for evening is revival OF the
style of the time of the Empress jose
phine, which is not unlike that Of the
ancient Greek models. Wreath's
will be worn in the hair even more
than they were last season.
The largest apple tree in New
England, and probably in the world,
is in the northwestern part of Chesh-

Hotchkiss' dooryard. Its age can be
traced by q family tradition to 40
years at least, and it may be twenty
or twenty-five years older.
DIR. Gautrelet, of Vichy, says that a
piece of cotton wool stepped in to 10
per cent solution of pyrogalic acid, in
serted In the pipe or cigar holder, will
neutralize any possible i'll effects of
the nicotine. Citric acid has already
been recommended by Vigier for the
same purpose, but that spoils the
taste of the tobacco.
Anglo-Indian circles in Bengal are
sounding the praises of Miss Mo-
rey, whose courageous conduct has in
all probability saved the life of her
father, a we'll known planter in that
district. Mr.. Morey was out hunting,
attended by his daughter, on horse
back, when boar suddenly sprang
from the jungle, and making for
Mr.. Morey, threw over both
horse and rider with a severe crash.
The brute was on the point of tear
ing his victims with his formidable
tusks, when this heroic young lady
sprang to the ground and placed her
self between the boar and her insen-
sible father. Miss Morey was wholly
unarmed, but fortunately she had
with her a large greyhound, who,
making straight for the boar, at
tracted his attention and drew him
away.

THE LITTLE NEWBORN BABE,

women would be in demand, how

ROeeING A SAFE.

How = suxve Burglar Outwitted = Special
P.trolman in Denver.
A night watchman who was employ
ed to protect a jewelry store in Den
yer against the ragaves of thieves was
neatly outwitted by the notorious Billy
Forester some years before his death.
The firm carried an immense stock of
gems, and kept them in a large, old
fashioned safe. Forester had by long
years experience become 80 familiar
with safes of that pattern that he could
tell when TO yer and when to turn
the knob forward, by placing his ear
close to the door above the combina-
ton, and in this way could open the
safe in a short time. By taking a wax
impression of the keyhole he made a
key for the front door. Having previ-
ously located the safe in the store, he
was now ready to begin. 1t was a
cold, snowy, stormy night, about 10
o'clock, and Forester walked up to
the store with an air of ownership and
unlocked the door. He carried a small
sample case in his hand. Going in,
he turned up the gas in the rear of the
store and then shook down the stove.
He leisurely worked the combination
TO the safe, and in less than half an
hour he had before him thousands Of
dollars worth Of costly jewels and gold
watches. At this very interesting point
the night watchman came in.
Good evening"" said the cordial
burglar, as he continued to emove
~valuables from the safe to his sample
case. Come back to the fire and warm
yourself; it is very cold out tonight"
The patrolman allowed that it was,
and sauutered back to the stove.
I'm packing'up my samples" went
on the thief suavely. Going out on
the road in the morning, and thought
l would get ready tonight. Therel
isn't that a beautyf' he asked, holding
out an elegant Jurgensen for the
Waterman to examine.
In this way Forester packed over
81 1000 worth of gems aud watches into
his sample case, chatting cheerfully
with the night watchman all the
while.
AS he was about to close the sample
case he stopped suddenly as if struck
by a happy thought, and then picked
up a very pretty ring. Turning to
the watchman he asked him If he had
a wife. The watchman had, and with
a careless laugh Forester tossed him
the ring, saying: GIVE her that, and
tell her it is a mark of appreciation for
the faithful services rendered by her
husband"
The brilliant guardian of other peo-
pies property was delighted, and was
unusually wide awake all the rest of
the night. 1t was not until next morn
ing hat he became aware OF the hoax
that had been practiced upon him.
Forester by that time was well out Of
the way, and his connection with the
robbery was not discovered till a few
days before his death, when he con
feSsed il. Exchange.

The first germ of the hospital idea
meets us about the close of the Second
century. At about this date, in times
of war, there were attached to the Ro-
man camps a ''valetudinarium" and a
veterinarian" In the former, only
those were treated who were seriously
wounded or diseased; previously to
this time the disabled soldier would
receive such rough care as the age af-
forded, either in his own tent or in a
neighboring cottage. Under Liberals,
who paid nc little attention to the we'll
being of his soldiers, ambulances with
easy cushions were provided for the
transportation of the sick. The first
complete establishment for the recep-
ton of the sick was built by Basil the
Great, at Cesarea, in Cappadocia
asia Minor, soon after he became
archbishop of that see "a. D. 370.-

OR DAY.

The observance Of Arbor Day should
not be confined alone to the towns and
cities Of Wyoming. A general planting
of trees throughout the territory would
have a marked beneficial effect. 1t is
said by naturalists that fifty years ago
Egypt was practically a r~ainless region.
At that time the government planted
forty millions OF trees and now there is
al average OF thirty rainy days each year.
The rainfall Of Utah has been largely in-
creased by the same means. 1t is stated
on good authority that Salt Lake has
risen seven feet since the time the MOI
mons started a systematic plan OF tree
culture.
The extension of the rain belt to Wy
oming can undoubtedly be fastened by
tree planting and a general observance of
Arbor Day, which will extend the present
area of forests. will add to the present
rich resources OF Wyoming.

First, the rawhide is cut in thin strips
as long as possible and half tanned with
the hair on. Then these strips are soaked
and stretched over a block. Then they
are braided into a rope, care being taken,
of course, to pull the strands as tight as
possible. When the RATA Qasso) is made
it should be buried for "A week. ten days
or even a fortnight, in the sand. 1t takes
up moisture from the ground without
getting hard. Soaking it in water won't
do, nor will anything else that / know Of
except, as l say, burying it.
When the RATA is resurrected it should
again be left for a time stretched over a
block, with a weight to hold it taut. Then
the hair should be s~andpapered off the
outside, and when the RATA is creased
with mutton tallow and properly noosed
it is ready for use. Every vaquero hat
pretends to take care of his apparatus
will bury his RATA and stretch it every
six or eight months.-San Francisco Ex-

In the days OF the minuet, our ancestors
engaged in pleasant discourse while treading
that stately dance, and the plain quadrille
afforded many OF the older OF us to enjoy de-
licious bits OF Irritation with those of the
other sex whom we admired; for in the dance
many liberties and pleasantries pass for harm
less nothings which elsewhere might be often
sive. The Figaro calls for a renaissance Of
the quadrille, and it believes that 1t will have
the encouragement Of mammas and daugh-
ters. As for Herr Strauss, it is his desire, /
understand, to reconstruct the waltz. He
thinks that the prelude to the waltz should be
4 stately movement, admitting of converse
ton between partners; he would have the
movement gradually quicken, anon become
deliberate again, and so altern ate, giving the
dancers occasional opportunity for converse
tion and physical recuperatiou. In this wise
does the great waltz composer hope to re-
habilitate the once popular dance In the affec-
tons of Observation-Disclosures Fields Letter.

ARMY DESERTYoNS.

The que stion of desertion from the
regular army is now before congress and
an effort will be made to in%augurate re
forms which will tend to check the evil.
The term Of enlistment will probably be
shortened. from FIVE to three years, or at
least made compulsory only for three
yesrs. leaving it optional with the soldier
to remain in the service after three years
of his term of enlistment have expired.
The men who desire to stay in the service
permanently make. Of course. the best
soldiers, and il the present term of ser
vice can be shortened without impairing
the efficiency OF the general force. and
the idea of compulsory service removed
at the expiration of the time it is prob
able that there will be a greater number
of men remaining voluntarily in the ser
vice than at present and the percentage
of desortions c~orrespondingly decreased.

A very impartial review of the influ-
ence of the climate of Colorado on the
health of consumptives sent there from
other states has appeared, the statements
made being based on an analysis OF a
hundred recorded cases in which the pa
tient has been under observation long
enough for the effects OF his s~ojourn to
be determined. Fifty per cent. Of all the
cases received so much benefit that they
were able to pursue their occupations
without serious inconvenience. Seven
teen per cen were somewhat improved,
but had always to use certain precautions
and to limit their exertions. Many of
these returned to their homes. Seven
per cent. of all these cases became worse,
largely because OF their own imprudence.
Twenty-six of all the cases died. Thus
two out OF three received benefit from
their residence in Colorado. Nearly all
Of those who were entered as worse"
and min out of the t~wenty-six who died
were doing well until some im~prudence
caused a permanent relapse.-Nsw York

THE first intimation reaching the East
that Wyoming might go Democratic at
the next general e~lectian causes the Phila-
delphia Press leading Republican organ,
to fy n warning cry of alarm aud to hint
to the senate hat it would be well to not
run the risk Of the creation Of a new state
in which the Democrats might eject rep
resentatives to congress. The fact that
partisanship is the controlling factor with
both political parties in the matter of
WyomIng's admission is made evident by
this outcry of the Pcs. The desirable
ity of a change FROM a condition in which
toe merits Of one plea Tor admission are
forgotten and the territory is made a
political foot ball to be kicked by both
parties intour of the strongest arguments
why we should be admitted. 1t is to be
hoped the senate will take no heed OF the
partisan plea of the Press,
