People Who Pun Out rbeIr Boards.

The Esquimaux have coarse, black hair,
some with a tinge of brown. Males have
the crown of the head closely cropped, so
that reindeer may not see the waving
locks when the hunter creeps behind bunch
grass.
They have black eyes and high cheek
bones. The bones of the face are better
protected from the severity of the climate
by a thicker covering Of flesh than south
ern races.
Generally their beard is very scant, and
most Of them devote otherwise idle hours
to pulling out the hairs. Washington

The BIRD rhat Saved Rome.

c. NJ. Tilton, Of Brunswick, Ga, says he
has two of the best policemen in his service
in the state. There is one peculiar trait
about them, and that is that they never go
TO sleep and never get off their beats. They
are two enormous geese. They march up
and down regular beat in front of his
house at night, and whenever anything
enters the yard at night they begin yelling
like Comanche warriors. He says it is inn
possible for any one to approach his house
at night without raising an alarm from
the geese.-P hiladelphia Ledger.

How FoIlos Are Named.

The practice of the publisher nowadays
is first to determine what size of page he
wants. The sheet he uses will be large or
small, according to the capacity of the
press at his disposal On that sheet he
may print, say, eight octave pages, or he
may print thirty-two, but he will call the
book an octave, though by its folding it
should be called either a quarto or a 16mo.
In other words, the publisher calls his
book by the name OF that one OF the old
sizes to which it happens to come nearest.

DODD's CATARRH CURE.
Local and Internal Treatment,

In order to cure catarrh it is necessary to al

does this without the aid of snuff. douches or

TRANSPARENCY OF THOUGHT.
Professor Lodge Is Firm Believer in Mys-
terious Communication. .

Professor Lodge Is Firm Believer in Mys
terious Communication.
Youths Companion.l
A great deal of interest has been awak
ened by some remarks made at the last
meeting of the British Association for the
Advancement of Science by Prot. Oliver
j. Lodge Prof Lodge holds high rank
among men of science in England. What
ever he says is, thereforeyentitled to re-
spectful consideration.
Speaking of the limitations of man s
knowledge ofnature, he referred to the phe-
nomenon known as Thought transference, -
and after recalling the fact, which of course
everybody knows, that a thought can be
transferred from one mind to another either
by the agency of sight, as in writing, or of
sound, as in speaking, he uttered these re-
markable words:
els it possible that an idea can be trans
ferred from one person to another by a pro.
cess such as we have not vet grown accus-
toned to and know practically nothing
about? In this case I have evidence. I as
sert that I have seen it done and am per-
fectlS convinced of the fact. ;"
Prof. Lodge, who has devoted particular
attention to this subject for a number of
years, suggests that the ether which per-
vades space and conveys the waves of light,
electricity and so forth may serve as a me-
dium of communication between mind and
mind. In this way many mysterious and
apparently miraculous phenomena could be
explained without resorting to supernatural
agencies.

the boxing will be:
Thee ~ules are not intended as a substi-

boxing.

contests except as they conflict with these
rules.

others.
Thtrd-Contests shall be decided entirely
on scientific points. The question of
strength, endurance and condition shall not
be considered.
Fourth-Contests shall cons st of two four
minute rounds, with an interval of one
minute for rest.

This is the way Mrs Perry tells her story:
"For i've years l had suffered from severe
headaches and such pal over the eyes that
/ could not give attention to my household
duties. could get air through neither OF
my nostrils, had to breathe through nv
mouth, sleep with my mouth open and
snored so loudly that none could sleep in the
rooms adjoining mine without being dis
turbed. Food could not retain on my stom-
ach, especially supper; this / had to vomit
as soon rs eaten- / also had severe consti-
patton OF the bowels. This aggravated my
headaches and tended very much to the
confusion of my ideas. The doctors whom I
consulted said my trouble was neuralgia.
Though they treated me faithfully and did
the best thev could the sickness con tinued,
This was my condition when in May 1887.
at the request of friends 1 consulted DIR.
Byers. After carefully inquiring into my
case he said my chief trouble arose from
chronic catarrh; that this caused the pain
over my eyes, my headaches, and so dis
turbed my nervous system that it led to con-
stipation OF the bowels and irritation of the
stomach. Though lie held out no promise of
cure, he told me he believed he could do me
mucn good. 1 placed myself under his treat
ment. Suffice it to say that soon felt de-
cided improvement. He removed the
tumors from my nostrils, relieved me of the
pain above my eyes and over the head. I
have not vomited since l took the first dose
of his medicine, cured me of the constipa-
ton of the bowels, and of all my former
symptoms. 1 don't snore and / consider
myself in as good health as any woman OF
my years could expect to be-"

CHICAGO's CHRISTMAS RIOT.
A PUBLIC STREET Is IMPROvIsED AS
RACE COURSE.

The Officers Enter q Saloon to Que1l a
Fight and Are Locked Up BY the Mob
Help Arrives, and a Running Battle Fol-
lows.
CHICAGO, Dec. ga riot, which at one
time threatened to be most bloody one,
took, place this afternoon. A crowd of
several hundred males and females. white
and black, assembled on Custom House
place to celebrate. The street was turned
into race course, shot from revolver
being the starters signal.
Two races in quick succession had been
run and third was being started when a
squad Of policemen arrived. At the same
time general fight began in a neighboring
saloon and bullets came crashing through
the windows Two officers in citizens
clothes gained entrance to the saloon, and,
being recognized, the cry went up. Lock
the doors and kill the officers" and at the
same time the key was turned in the lock.
Backing into corner the officers drew
their revolvers, faced the ugly crowd and
threatened to shoot the first man who
moved. Their nerve paralyzed the crowd
for moment, and by that time other Off
GERS burst open the saloon door and rescued
their comrades The crowd was determined
not to leave the saloon, but after desperate
struggle tine officers emerged from the place,
each with fighting, struggling, desperate
prisoner.
A patrol wagon was waiting nearby, and
despite the efforts of the crowd in the
street, whose sympathies were with the
prisoners, the officers succeeded in landing
their men in the wagon. While not a
shot was fred by the officers. they were
forced to keep up running fight while in
the neighborhood, using their revolvers as
billys. AS the wagon was moving away a
burly negro named Robert johnson sprang
forward and shouted to the crowd:
Come on; lets take them away and kill
the coppers"
He was knocked down by blow from a
revolver and unceremoniously thrown into
the wagon. With drawn revolvers the
way was cleared for the wagon, the
prisoners constantly struggling for
freedom. The whole crowd followed
the Wagon to the Harrison street station,
but despite last desperate struggle the
wagon load Of prisoners were safely placed
behind the bars. Other officers arriving,
the crowd dispersed.

PLAYING, and the playing was, indeed, OF
brilliant kind.
From start to finish the enthusiasm Of the
spectators was very great, and when the
Pittsburgers scored loud cheers rent the air.
Youngstown had a capital team on the
ground, but they were outplayed and out
generated The contest only went to show
how undesirable it was to have the trouble
in the Football League that caused the
withdrawal of the Pittsburg team. The
work of the latter yesterday was certainly
of kind to place them ahead of any associ-
alton team in Western PENNSYLVANIA. Their
combination work was irst-clasS and the
visitors could not keep the ball from them.
In the first halt, after fine exhibition of
football. O'Brien one of the local forwards,
kicked a goal in magnificent style. Shortly
atterward Wardle, another of the forr-ards,
kicked another goal No more points were
scored in the first half
In the second half Waldron kicked goal
for PittSburg. and O'Brien made his second
goal in the game Some good play followed,
but neither team could score Several
times the visitors had the ball with an ap-
parentlv clear course ahead of them, but the
local players were too active, and like
lightning rushed up and took possession of
the bail
The same two teams will play at Youngs
