Eastern Freight Rates.

Some uneasiness is said to exist among
the merchants of Denver on the question of
rates from the East. Recently, it is said,
sugar has been sold in Denver for about Il
cents per 100 pounds less than the sum OF
the New York quotations and the rate from
New York to Denver. Nails, tin plate and
sheet iron have also been sold at price that
would indicate cut of about 10 cents per
l00pounds in the rate. These are all staple
articles, in which there is little fuctuation
in the price, and the,local firms, when they
find these goods selling at price unusually
low, naturally conclude that the rates are
being manipulated. A cut in rates at this
time would be bad for the railroads and bad
for the business of Denver. 1t would keep
the tinid from purchasing goods through
fear of their neighbors getting better rate,
and the railroads would not do the volume
of business they otherwise would.
The Struby-Estabrook company and other
jobbers were seen in regard to the reported
reduction in rates, and they disclaim all
knowledge of there being any manipulation
of rates at present.-[DenVer Republican.

How Insects Produce Their Sounds.

While the notes of insects are among the
Ioudest, and supposed by many to come
from the mouth, they are in reality instru
mental in other words, produced by
various musical instruments with which
nature has endowed them. yet to some ex
tent they correspond to the voice of other
animals, the sounds and calls being an
swered by others of their kind. When the
grasshopper wishes to hail some compan-
ion or talk to his fellow over the hedge it
simply rubs its thighs against the fore
wings, or plays upon veritable fiddle. If
the leg of the musician is examined under
a microscope ridge of very fine teeth will
be seen-the sound producers.
The loudest players are the locusts, that
often make the woods sound with their
calls. Sometimes all are playing or chat
tering at once Again there will be a lull
in the conversation. Then one will begin,
the note will be taken up by another, and
finally volume of sounds blend and fill
the air
In the former case we had a fiddler.
Here the musician is a drummer, which
we may prove by examining the locust.
The base of the anterior wing is transpar-
emit, forming a regular drum. with which
the males utter their calls. aud as there
are mary different species, so there are
many different calls, and some, 1t Is said,
have certain calls for the night and others
for the daytime.-St Paul Dispatch.

Japanese are the most familiar examples,
are able to exercise great and generally
evil influence on the white women with

Specifically the query applies more to
the natives of the Flowery Kingdom than
to those who come from the Land of the
Rising Sun. But it is notorious and es-
tablished fact that in both empires the
female of the middle and lower classes is
regarded as an inferior being, and is toler-
ated for only two reasons-the perpetual

the most stupendous drudgery. Yet the

AN UNCANNY SPECTACLE.
Human Skeletons Knocked Down to tn.
Highest Bidder

Human Skeletons knocked Down TO the
Highest Bidder.
New YORK, Nov. Human skeletons
have long been recognized as legitimate
article of commerce, and year by year
the demand has steadily increased
from all parts of the civilized
world. But an auction sale of such
bones is very much of novelty. Such
sale, however, was held yesterday in
Maiden Lane. when fifteen skeletons were
sold to the highest bidder. Each one was
carefully articulated and mounted within
glass case. and those who came to see, and
perhaps to buy gave, no suggestion by their
manner or remarks that the occasion was
novelty to them. The crowd was largely
composed of physicians seeking specimens,
with liberal sprinkling Of women The
skeletons sold at fair prices, but a lot of
loose bones went for a song.
The stock was that of firm of dealers in
surgical supplies, who failed about month
since. There would have been more bones
sold, but Friday night two deputy sheriffs
removed four skeletons on writ of replevin
for the National Bank of Deposit. The
skeletons were part of i consignment from
Europe shortly prior to the firms failure.
The bank cashed a draft which accompanied
the consignment, and the writ of replevin
was taken out to recover the money.

Criminal Gases in England.

Justice in the British isles may be slow
but it gets there sooner or later. Sever
years ago warrant was issued against al
English poacher for threatening to shoot
two police officers. The other day he was
sentenced for that offense to a months i'm
prisonment, with hard labor. Two Other
sentences of recent date are worthy OF
note. An English tramp, arrested and
brought before the justice of the Petworth
police court for the crime Of damaging
some cut clover by sleeping on it," was
fined by the justice, with the alternative OF
going to jail for eight days. In another
case, at the Bromsgrove petty sessions.
where woman was charged with stealing
some apples, it was alleged against her
that the stems of the fruit fitted" the
trees from which they were said to have
been stolen.

VERNON WILBARGER COUNTY, TEX, Nov.
1.-Several gentlemen were in the city a
few days ago and went over the proposed
route of the Cattle Trail railroad They
were favorably impressed with the outlook,
and intimated among other things. that
Vernon could secure the road by giving a
certain amount as bonus, but in return
would remain the terminus and have the
general offices, round-house. shops. etc. 1t
is thought slight change will be made and
Abilene, instead of Albany. will be the
objective point on the south The men
were sent by Gould, and it is thought they
mean business. The proposition, it is
thought, will be submitted soon. Vernon
cannot do otherwise than accept.
