A newspaper man has to take in
terest in so many things that from
custom he is almost in danger Of
losing interest in all. It is curious
to note how that which one person
will 20 crazy over TO the next has
no interest whatever. While stock
brokers are talking nothing but the
money market. clergymen are occu-
MED with dissenters, criminals with
nollce court news, and over the
whole preside the gentlemen of the
press. Everyone to his own liking.

Whisky in q Whale.

A sperm whale forty feet long got
over the bar at Ocean City, Nd, during
the high tide several nights ago and
was left high and dry on the beach by
the receding water. All night long his
struggles could be heard by the crew of
the life-saving station near by. They
sounded like the heavy beating of the
surf. After the leviathan was dead the
residents in the neighhorhood gathered
and cut away the blubber. In cutting
open the monsters stomach there were
found a number of empty bottles and a
five-gallon demijohn, corked and sealed,
of excellent rye whisky. 1t is supposed
that the whale followed in the wake of
the United States steamer Dispatch,
which was wrecked more than month
ago, and swallowed the demijohn as it
was floated out of the wreck.

A Strange Mineral.

A prospector in Montana has found a
strange mineral that takes fire and con-
sumes itself when exposed to the air.
When taken from the ground it has
much the appearance of iron ore and is
quite as heavy. The first that was
taken out was piled up near the shaft
one evening and the next morning was
found to be smoking 1t continued to
grow hotter until ii arrived at almost a
white heat, remaining in that condition
several days, after which it gradually
cooled off. 1t was then found to be
but half its first weight, and resembled
much the fragments of meteors that
are found on the surface.

A CALIFORNIA CUSTOM.

How tho San Francisco Dudes Perform n
Seemingly Impossible Feat.
The prevailing masculine style Of
shoe is the English pointed pateht
leather article. The mere sight of 4
close fitting pair of these pedal deco
rations is enough to give victim of
corns fever and ague. To the un-
initiated, says the San Francisco Chron-
icle, it is blood-curlling mystery how
some of the most fashionable large feet
in San Francisco get into such excru-
ciatingly tight shoes. Still stranger has
been the equanimity Of the wearers.
No symptoms of suffering have been
visible in their faces. Smiles have
wreathed their countenances through
the warm hours of ball, and dance
after dance has been reeled off by them
without the slightest signs of finching.
An ordinary man subjected to such
methods of torture would take off his
shoes before half the night was over,
and walk home in his stockings if a cab
were not within the scope of his
finances. OF course there is scientific
explanation of this apparently super
human endurance. 1t was secret
cherished by a handsome local pho
tographer till his valet "blew the gaff,"
as the police elegantly say of one who
blab inside facts. 1t happened in this
wise: Master and man had gone to a
country hop, very swell affair,
low necks, swallow-tails, tout
rigeur, so to speak. When the hotel
porter got the luggage mot baggage)
up to the camera artists room the valet
was taken with Mysteries. One valise
missing--left on the train.
That's the bag with the cocaine, and
master will faint without it," he
moaned.
"Why, he amt fend, is hep" asked
the porter.
"No, no; but his feet is. ave to
vawrnish his pedal heXtremities three
| times night SO that he can wear No.
| shoe ON No. II foot. Oh! what will
| do?''
A bottle of cocaine varnish to deaden
sensitive bunions is now as common
in north of Market street male dress
ing rooms as cigarette butts, and hence
the growing popularity of the pointed
patent leather shoe, and it's inability to
tie the wearcr's legs into hard knots, no
matter how hot the night or protracted
the ball.
