ONE COMPLAINT.
The Soldiers Are Too Immoral for ths Ia
disas They Camp Near.

WASHINGTON. Feb. lin o confer
ence with Commissioner Morgan Hollow
Horn Bear charged that while the mill
tary had control over tho reservation
during the late troubles the soldiers were
the cause OF great immortality among the
Indian women. Many OF the soldiers
went through the ceremony OF marriage
with the sqaaws, the latter believing
they were doing well by marrying the
soldiers, Hollow Horn Bear said he did
not know whether IL was desirable that
the officers allow the soldiers to go on
and leave their wives and children de-
pendent for support upon the Indians
He does not want the soldiers near the
reservation.

A QUESTION OF THE HOUR.

Timely Advice on the Delicate Point of
Getting a Good Melon.
Atlanta Constitution.
The melon OF any species readily parts with
its most desirable qualities; the older 1t is, or
the longer it stands after being prepared for
use, the more of its sweetness and flavor is
lost. A real gourmet, whether he be a
Partisan or Georgia darkie, will not touch
melon that has stood for twenty-four hours.
Muskmelons grown In this locality are not
difficult to get, and these may be served
shortly after they are taken from the vine.
They should be kept on ice before they are
served, but not too long, else they lose their
flavor; and In no instance should they be filled
with ice. Nothing but age and decay so robs
them of their perfection. The same rules hold
as to the cantaloupe, regarded by many as the
finest variety of the family A perfectly fine
melon is full without any vacuity. This can
be determined by tapping 1t ON the rind In
choosing muskmelon or cantaloupe observe
that the network of the skin Is rough When
cut open the skin should be slightly moist, not
watery. The small ones have the finest favor.
The use OF the melon as a prepared fruit is
undoubtedly becoming more common; in
preserved state they are recognized as one of
the most agreeable sweetmeats. and some
cooks have ingeniously succeeded in making
them into stews and fritters. But without
much trouble very palatable salad may be
made OF insipid melons, unfit for desert. Cut
the edible parts into small slices and serve
with French dressing.

APPETITE FOR BREAKFAST.
Suggestions From Medical Standpoint
to How to Acquire It,

Suggestions From a Medical Standpoint
as to How to Acquire 1t.
The Hospital.
Breakfast is rather a failure as meal with
town men. That ought not to be. There is
something wrong when a man is not vigorously
hungry in the morning. Where is the fault {?
Is it in the late dinner Not in the dinner,
probably, as much as in what is drunk at
dinner; in that and in the nervous strain of the
times. 1t does not matter whether we dine in
the middle of the day or in the evening, so
long as we dine judiciously. But the man
who has much work to do, and particularly
brain work, cannot dine in the middle of the
day. If he does he must make up his mind to
lose at least an hour of his most valuable time
light luncheon at midday, with no stimu-
lant stronger than cup of coffee or bottle
OF ginger ale, is the suitable thing. But this
must on no account be used as a substitute
for dinner. He who lunches in this way at
midday must dine in the evening, and dine
WELL The business man should dine at $50,
or at latest at 7:30. The lazy man may
dine when he likes. The man who has
earned his dinner should have a good one
not heavy, but nutritious; not too elaborate.
but well selected and well cooked.
Dinner should be the last meal of the day,
except for those who cannot sleep without
little food in their stomachs. These may take
cup of cocoa, with little thin bread and
butter, just at the moment of going to bed.
II attention be paid to these suggestions very
few people will fail to be hungry at breakfast

THOUGHT 1T CHEAP.

Five Cents From Stop to Stop Did Not
Startle One Man.
San Francisco Call.
"Funny people we run across in the course
Of our lives" remarked a Market-street grip
man yesterday as he tugged ssvagely at the
lever and tried to drive his car into couple
of young men who were crossing the street in
hurry.
"The queerest old bloke I've seen for long
time boarded the dummy at Main street and
began TO ask questions. l could tell by his
general appearance that he was from one of
the wayback counties, and it didn't take him
long to tell me that he was from Inyo and
hadn't been in San Francisco since '52. He
had been working for all those years in the
mines, and when It came to knowing what was
going on he wasn't in 1t. Seemed kind of
funny, but he had never seen a street car be-
fore in his life, and you'd have died laughing
just to see him sizing things up. Pretty soon
the conductor came along, and when he asked
for fares the old fellow shelled out four bit
piece, and nearly fell off the car with surprise
when he was handed 45 cents in change.
" Made mistake, didn't he p turning to
me.
"'No, that's right
"'Oh l see; just collects reckon, from
one station to another
~ nodded my head, and when the conduc-
tor came out again put him on.
"Wel, sir, that old chap rode out to the end
and back down town, putting up his nickel
whenever the car stopped, and when he got
down town his ride had cost him just S1.55.
u" Pretty cheap ridin', he said with smile,
as he stepped to the ground and disappeared
in the darkness

THE SPEED OF ELECTRICITY.
A Current Could Travel to the Sun in
Three and q Half Minutes.

A Current Could Travel to the Sun in
Three and Half Minutes.
Philadelphia scientists are preparing to find
out how fast an electric current travels. An
experiment will be made, probably from the
Franklin Institute, by connections over the
Atlantic cable to Liverpool and return. A
recent test appeared to show that an electric
current shuffied over to Europe and back in
something like second, or at the rate of only
some 100000 miles a minute, while light
ambles along at ten-million -mile-a-minute
gait. American scientists are not willing to
give up the record to sunlight.
The most recent experiment was tried at
McGill College, Montreal, to Liverpool and
return. The distance traversed was 5000
miles. Time, second and 1-20th of second.
The conditions were not good Hence the
necessity for another experiment. Some en-
thusiastic electricians claim that current
will speed around the world in a trife over
three seconds, or cover the distance to the
sun, 96, 900 miles, in three and half min
utes.

A RICH REAL ESTATE STORY.
The Amusing Experience of Pittsburg
Agent.

Agent.
PittsburR Dispatch.
leading citizen OF Pittsburg decided some
time ago TO give up his house In one of the
prettiest suburbs and move up to Allegheny
City. In this he was chiefly moved by his
wife, who had tired OF semi-rural Joys, Hay-
ing no further use for his country house, he
commissioned one Of the leading real estate
firms OF the city to sell it, In the meanwhile
he went with all his belongings to live in a
rented house on the Northside.
The real estate agent, to expedite the sale
of the country house, being wise in his gener-
alton, advertised it in the papers. The adver-
tisement described the house in very glowing
terms, though not more so than the truth
warranted. for prettier out-of-town resi-
dence does not exist near Pittsburg. Still
it was cunniIgly wOrded advertisement,
with seductive illusions to beautiful lawns
and shade trees and heavenly views TO be had
from the front porch. The precise location
OF this jewel OF home the advertisement did
not reveal, because the owner disliked
publicity. day or two passed and the real
estate agent had answered several inquiries,
and with one party had almost carried
negotiations to a sale, when the wife for
nhom Iuo rohoFai 10 Alegneuy nau Deen
made, came into the Office and said, after some
preliminary parleying: ~ don't like Allegheny
bit. 1t doesn't suit me. Now, / noticed an
advertisement in the Dispatch this morning
which describes just the sort OF place know
should like.
The real estate man asked her to point out
the advertisement and running her finger
down the column she stopped at the descrip-
tion OF her former home The dealer In land
and houses was dumbfounded; but he managed
10 say that he would look the matter up,
ascertain the location Of the house and COM
munieate the details to her husband. The
next day the latter called at the real estate
Office and with huge smile remarked that
he had purchaser for his country house.
The Sunday herald and weekly national intelligencer., 1891-07-19

The agent asked who It might be. "My wife,"
was the reply, and with that he handed the
agent blank check and told him to fill
It out for the amount he would have charged
IL the purchaser had been anyone else. And
shortly afterward ths Allegheny hous ehold
moved back to the suburban residence,
where they are likely to remain for the balance
of their lives. The real estate man is surer
than ever that newspaper advertising pays.

OUR KANSAS LOTTERY.

brigadiers away down IN Louisiana,
10 the proud possessor Of a lottery, all
her own; not a small, insignificant af-
fair, obscurely located and Clandes-
timely operated, but a regular thor
Oughbred, chartered by our Secre-
tary Of State and operated under the
protection OF our great Common
wealth. on course il must be regard
cd as perfectly legitimate and re-
spectacle institution, otherwise il
would not be chartered and sustained
in this great state under a Republi-
can administration We have read
and heard many things relative TO
our lottery for months past, and we
reproduced from the Leavenworth
Times some time ago an article SET
ting forth some Of It's features and a
few Of It's busines transactions. Hav-
ing some curiosity to know more
about il, we made 10 q visit few days
ago and had the satisfaction Of see-
ing its machinery in full operation.
Lest there should be some misappre-
hension relative TO the true character
ofthe concern, we will pause at this
point and discuss that question. AT
ter the publication Of the article in
Che Leavenworth Times, it was We
hemently denied that the institution
could be considered in any sense as a
lottery. After we reproduced the
article Of the Times, in which
some reference was made to eX-At-
torney General Bradford, we received
personal letter from that gentle
man, complaining Of the association
OF his name with the institution, and
further volunteering the statement
that it is not a lottery The only
allusion to the e1-Attorney General
that occurs in the article referred to,
is the following brief paragraph;
Rx-Attornoy General Bradford, a member
OF the Republican central committee, Ia the az
tOrney for this concern.
This he admits in his letter to us
to be true, and then he proceeds to
sRy;
No one will deny the fact that have as much
right 10 defend men charged with running
lottery o. for stealing or murder.
We very willingly conCede to
Mr. Bradford the correctness Of
this proposition. AS an attorney,
his defense of criminals connected
with this concern is perfectly legiti-
mate and no one can complain Of il.
He should have stopped with the
above statement, however, He was
not called upon as a witness to give
testimony either for or against these
parties, and the following volunteer
evidence is entirely gratuitOus. He
says:
This institution nc Kansas City IL not q lottery;
tits sort Of guessing match, similar only on a
larger scale, to guessing how many beams In a
far or grains Of corn In jar, so frequently praC-
tlced at q. A. r. fairs or church festivals,
The italics are Mr., Brsdford's, This
is a very innocent sort Of amusement,
surely. No wonder that the ex-attor-
nav general should feel so free to de.
