The Affair by Hounds.

Troy, n. V, March 3l.-The great glove
contest between Cal Mccarthy of Jersey
City and George Dixon of Boston came off
tonight, and the colorod Boston lad is the
victor
Crowds came from all directions and the
rink was packed to its utmost capacity.
Prominent sporting men from all over the
country were in the audience. The betting
was free, but the odds were all on Dixon.
This is probably accounted FOR by the fact
that rumor prevailed all day that Mccarthy
had been drinking and was not taking proper
care of himself
The fight was for the fcatherwcight cham
ponship and $4,000. Side bets were penti-

Dixon was seconded by Tom O'Rourke and

Dunn was referee. The scales were set at
ll5 pounds Neither man tipped the beam ut
that mark and they jumped off so quickly
that none of those present could ascertain
their exact weight.
Sheriff Tappau was served with an injunc-

with the fight
Both men were apparently in fine condi-
tOn when they entered the ring
In the first round the men both spared
cautiously and exclaimed blows evenly.
In the second round Mccarthy was too

swings, was iloored twice in quick order.

Attorney General Rogers Talks.

NEW ORLEANS, La, March 3l.-An Associ-
ated press reporter called upon Attorney
General Rogers tonight and asked him for
an expression of opinion upon the recall of
the italian minister and also the tatus of the
case in so far as the legal department was
concerned. Judge Rogers said the aspect of
the case was unchanged. He was unable
to say what the outcome would be. The mat
ter is now entirely in the hands of the grand
jury, and until it submitted a repo rt he could
not say what the line OF prosecu tion would
be- The state of Louisiana, he felt, was
fully capable of enforcing its laws. There
had been no new proceedings between the
state and Secretary Blaine. Not a word had
been received from MIR. Blaine since Gov
emor Nichols wrote his reply and Coy
ernor Nichols has sent no supplemental com
munication to the state department. Judge
Rogers did not care to discuss the signit-
can ce of the recall of Baron Fava or the like
hood Of hoStilities.

DASCHUNDS AND POINTERS.
Dogs and Their breeding Talked Over
by the Kennel Club.

The Kennel club met last night at the club
rooms over 2l4 South Fourteenth street to
listen TO a talk by Max Baehr upon the
merits Of the "Daschund," a peculiar breed
of dogs used with great success in Europe
for rabbit hunting and ferreting out small
game.
Mr.. Baehr had one of the dogs with him,
and, although he did not give any
formal talk upon the daschund a general
conversation was ndulged in by the MEM
bers present for more than an hour and the
merits of this short-legged canine were
thoroughly discussed.
Charles Sabins was present with very
fine specimen of the Great Dane breed. The
dog is very large and was much admired by
the gentlemen present.

into the rooms and his fine points were dwclt
upon. The pointer is only pup, but he is

Modern Young Men,

Etfeminate young men arouse the
wrath of a late writer, who thus dis
courses: At q little function not long
ago the majority of men, both married
and single, talked in effeminate voices,
using their infections and accent pre-.
cisely as women do. The tastes also of
the modern young man are towards the
effeminate. Many young bachelors are
keeping house by themselves, and they
can tell you all about it, from the price
one should pay for tea to the proper
width of a tablecloth hem, But this is
not the worst. was paying Il visit one
afternoon and on being ushered into
the reception room | saw the young man
of the house, n boy of nineteen, sitting
by the window busily engagedin doing
drawn work! He had his embroidery
frames and was deity weaving the
threads of an intricate spiders web pat
tern in and out with seeming satisfac-
ton. He spread out his work for my
inspection-it was "a sideboard cover
and patted it, smoothed it and held it
up in various lights, precisely as a girl
might have done. Though l should have
enjoyed taking him by the coat collar
and gently dropping him IN a clear cold
pool Of water, ! bravely repressed my
disgust and admired his skill.-Phila-

WHEN MEN SEE SNAKES.
The Appearance of the Reptiles Is Due t
Congestion of the Eye-Neins.

The Appearance of the Reptiles Is Due to
Congestion of the Eye-Neins.
The cause Of persons whose nerves
are excited by protracted and excessive
use of stimulants seeing the shapes Of
animals passing before them is not due
wholly to the Imagination. In fact the
fancy only operates TO induce a belief
that what is seer is alive and hideous.
The eyeball is covered by a network
of veins, ordinarily so small that they
do not intrude themselves visibly in the
path Of the light that enters the sight,
but in the course Of some diseases these
veins are frequently congested and
swollen 10 such size as to become WIS.,
ible, and when this happens the effect
generally is to appear as if there were
an object Of considerable size at a dis
lance from the eye.
Of course, this vein is generally long,
thin and sinuous like a serpent, and
the figure seen is frequently startlingly
like a snake. That they seem to live
is due TO the fact that they are often
not in perfect line with the direct front
Of sight They are either TO the side,
up or down from the FOG is; therefore,
when discovered, the victim naturally
turns his eyes toward the effect, and
the effect, of course, moves away.
The eye follows, and thus a continu-
Gus and realistic motion is got. Now,
il the eye be returned to the front
again quickly it will see another snake,
which, if watched, will glide away in
the same manner The writer Of this
is afflicted by malarial disease, and af-
ter his eyes are thus congested many
strange shapes and clouds pass within
his vision, which, If he were in a tie
of nervous collapse, might easily be all
that are seen by those suffering from
delirium tremens.-N. Y. Times.

ABOUT MAPLE SUGAR.
The Difference Between the Real and the
Spurious.

The Difference Between the Real and the
spurious.
In selecting a cake of maple sugar to
eat shun the small, square, hard bricks
that look as though they were COM
posed of coarse sand and pounded glass,
and choose from the larger cakes that
have a fine smooth grain and a delicate
golden brown tint. To be fresh and
pure it should cut almost rs easily as
cheese. and melt in your mouth with
out leaving any unpleasant taste.
Some people have an idea that the dark,
wet, soggy cakes are the purest and
more like the old-fashioned sugar made
by their fathers. This is not so. 1t is
not natural for maple sugar to be black
any more than for it to be white, and
while the dark sugar shows tae pres
ence of dirt and leaves and smoke from
the boiling place, and the addition OF
the cheapest cane sugar, so the almost
white, glistening, coarse-grained maple
sugar shows that it was made by mel.-
ing yer some of last years stock and
adding to it the common coffee sugar
of the store. Maple strip, to be pure
and just right to eat, should weigh
about eleven and one-half pounds to the
gallon. When poured out in a glass il
should be clear and amber-hued with.
out containing dark streaks. II, after
it has stood in the dish a few hours, a
dark sediment is found in the bottom il
is not pure maple sirup, ever though
the man who made it should cut down
the tree from which the sap was drawn
and haul it to your door in proof of his
claim .-Utica On. " Observer.

THE VALUE OF WHEY.
When Sweet 1t Makes q Wholesome and
Excellent Food,

Excellent Food.
Whether or not whey is worth any
thing as a stock-foodis a question often
asked. When fed sour, there can be
but one answer, it is worthless or
worse. With sweet whey it is quite a
different matter. Prof. Henry, of the
Wisconsin experiment station, has
published in bulletin No. 81 an interest
ing record, of which the following Il .
brief summary:
Four trials were conducted at this
station during the fall and winter Of
1S9O-91, for the purpose of a~scertainins
the value of sweet whey for pig feed
ing. The results of these trials show:
l. We were not successful in main
taiLing pigs on whey alone.
2. Pigs fed on corn meal and shorts
with water required $50 pounds of the
mixture for 100 pounds of the gain.
8. When whey was added to the corr
meal and shorts mixture, It produced
a marked saving in the amount of grain
required for good gains. This was
true for mixtures varying from two
pounds of whey to n of grain, up to
ten pounds of whey to n of grain.
T. 1t was found when using whey as
q partial substitute for grain, that 700
pounds of whey effected a saving of 100
pounds of corn meal and shorts mix
ture.
g. Using these figures, II O meal
and shorts are valued at $l2 per ton,
then whey is worth eight cents per
hundred pounds; at S15 per ton for corn
meal and shorts, whey would be worth
ten cents per hundred weight.
9. Shorts, pea meal and oil meal, or
like feeds should be mixed with whey
for growing animals. Some corn NAV
be fed at all times, the proportion in.
creasing as the animal approaches ma.
thrifty.
