STEUBENvILLE, December 10.-An
article in the Intelligenccr this morn
ing from this place would lead
stranger 10 suppose that we are I'm the
thrOes Of typhoid fever, and he city Is
likely TO be depopuated, all Oh account
OF the river water that Is drank. There
is not the slightest foundation for tho
article and could only have emenated
from brain OF a man who has no re-
gard for the truth, provided an item Il
at stake. Instead OF the water used by
the city coming from an eddy, tho
supply pipe OF the water works extends
to the center Of the river TO the channel,
away beyond the eddy and WELLS"
bar, and the water consumed Is az pure
as IT could well DO without being
filtered. Sherman avenue, the street
cited as having the most cases OF
typhoid fever thereon, Is located az the
upper end Of the city, and Is just two
squares In length.

Hunting GuInea Eggs.

To find a guinea nest was the very
poetry of egg hunting The creatures
are half wild, and feed far afield. The
bush pasture was their chosen haunt,
and had such store of hidden hooks, such
clumps of brake and briar, sucn steep
grassy banks, such tangle of sedge and
dewberry and plum thicket, chat we
would never have found an egg but for
the birds queer habit. When the hen
goes to the nest her mate stands guard
over her on the nearest bare spot, and
fills the air with his harsh buzzing cry.
Following the sound, we came upon
the pair. Madam chooses her home
daintily, and deeply hollows the clean,
dry earth of it. Flowers often nod above
it, grass is sure to spring greenly about
the edge. Overhead is always shelter of
some sort, for the maker knows instinc-
lively that sunshine will addle her pre-
cious eggs Her small cousin, the par
fridge, so admires her taste that some
times she decides to share the nest.
Sometimes, too. a hen of independent
mind comes a-grasshoppering into the
bush pasture, and puts her eggs into
such shelter. Very often we found forty
eggs to the nest. And when we took
them out it was always with q silver
spoon. Black nanny taught us, "Ef
yer puts han in dar, de guinea'll smell
it an quit de nes'." Whatever the rea-
son, the fact was none the less fact

Vanity in a Small Boy.

Along suburban street any bright
morning may be seen small boy walking
sedately beside his nurse, trundling hoop,
riding very small bicycle, or driving an
obstreperous goat in blackboard that is
too handsome to be smashed, as it will
be soon, and the boy with it, probably.
The young gentleman has not only plenty
of playthings, but plenty of clothes The
suits he seems to feel most comfortable in
have knickerbockers that stop above the
knee, and long, belted workman's blouse.
A white pique suit made in this way has
the blouse gathered at the neck under a
band of black velvet ribbon. The ribbon
runs down each shoulder, covering the
fastening of the blouse, belts it, and trims
it around the bottom.
The knickerbockers have black velvet
buttons on the outside at the knee. Long
white stockings are worn, and black patent
leather slippers, with black velvet bows.
A hat goes with this suit which the boy
hates because, as he says, it is "a girls
hat" 1t is a washbasin shape, of white
pique, stitched around and around until it
is stiff, and having large bow of black
velvet on the crown.
Though this little boy is as fond of fun
and frolic as any little boy may be, yet he
has his moments of majesty when he prom.
enades in state, and his bearing says plain.

How to Be Healthy and Hairy.


A new prophet has arisen. His claims
to attention are imperative from the fact
that he guarantees his followers exemp-
ton from two Of the greatest Affections
to which fashionable flesh is heir-dys
pepsia and badness. The name of the
prophet is Khorf, a Russian and he
bears his credentials writ large on his
person.
Though he has already passed the
span allotted to humanity by the
Psalmist, he is as agile as young opos-
sum and as well thatched as Absalom.
His rules of longevity are refreshingly
simple. Eschew all drugs, never shave
live in the open air as much as possible
and wear as little clothes as you can
these are the cardinal doctrines of by
giene according to Khorf. So shall you
become healthy, happy and hairy; for
In the view of the new prophet the nat
ural condition of the human being is to
be all hairy like Esau, or all downy like
Stanleys pygmies. Above all, you must
walk rhythmically," for DR.. Khorf
maintains that we digest with our legs
and not with our stomach. Meat, spirits,
waters, and theaters are all ta-
booed in the Khorfan system. Personally,
he never wears hat, and takes his meals
in the open air, No doubt, if this hirsute
sage's mode of life were compulsorily
enforced on the entire population we
should all be speaking Simian in couple
Of generations. If ever there is a czar
or an emperor who is an ardent Darwin
ian, the temptation to try the experiment
will probably prove irresistible. London
