New York, July 1.-Assistant Secre-
5ary Knoll, Of the Society for the Proven
ton Of Cruelty to Children, has been en-
gagged in its work for more than a dozen
years, beginning as agent in some of the
toughest quarters of the city. Looking at
his kindly face the other day was impelled
to ask if he did not get overweight
sometimes by scenes Of suffering and cru
city.
NO" he replied promptly, 1--WE get used
to it. After a little experience in this life
we become mercifully calloused. Nothing
that could happen now in my sight could
bring the tears to my eyes. l should have
seen so many things similar. There is a
great sameness about the work Of the agents
"a monotony. little as you would think 1t.
The work runs in ruts and grooves, and 1t
isn't often that an agent had SO thrilling an
experience as Mr.. - had yesterday"
Tell me about it" ! said.
Its brief enough story. A poor wom-
an who has been seven years married, has
six children and is soon to become the
mother of another, was bundled out OF doors
with all her brood by her husband, young
fellow of o. The agents went to put her
back; the husband wouldn't open the door
aud they broke it H."
Mr.. Knoll stopped as if this were the end
Of the story, but ! couldn't help wondering
what became of the woman and six chill
dren after the protecting agents had gone
away
We investigate six or seven hundred
cases every month"; said MIR. Knoll, land
they are of all imaginable kinds, starving,
beating, freezing, neglect. We have the
fullest appreciation of the public except
when we interfere in behalf of little chill
dren employed on the stage. Then the ne VS.
papers are apt to pound us. Blu we're
used to that"
It's a curious fact The New York pa
pers do make life burden for the society
when it interferes with the employment Of
children on the stage, yet it would be easy
to prove that it does too little in this re-
spect rather than too much. | have never

have fallen into a rut Their pictures are
sometimes as fine but lack variety, being
done by staff artists for greater ease of ar
rangement and for economy. Then greater
use is made of the reproductive processes,
half tone for wash drawings, and photo
engravings for pen sketches. This is cheaper,
but in the long run not so good as wood
engravings, which remains the very best
method Of fine illustrative work.
The worst of it, said the other man, is the
bad effect on the wood engravers trade.
Under the competition of the direct repro
ducUive process their prices have steadily
gone down from 81 TO IS an inch to 60 cents,
at which rate there is no more fun in the
business.
The reader must judge of all this for him
self To me the magazine illustrations seem
marvelously good.

WHICH Is GENuINE2

In a Broadway jewelry store, temptingly
displayed on two cards. are two splendid cut
diamonds of equal size, brilliance and pol
ish. Over the cards is the legend: Which
is genuinep l am quite willing TO admit
that l cannot tell, and do not believe there
are many who are wiser except professional
jewelers..
The making of bogus diamonds has be-
come a very lucrative and usual business.
A good many ladies known to possess beau
tiful diamonds are credited with having
them copied and wearing the limitations to
public places, leaving the true gems in the
safe deposit vaults. This lessons the danger
of robbery or accident.
With stones so perfectly initiated any
man or woman is very foolish who buys
one except from an established dealer In
whom he can put confidence. But it's dis
couraging to pay enormous sums for gems
which anyone can easily outshine for a few
dollars. Better buy something uncoun-
terfeitable like bicycle or a milk route.

DIxEY's NEW DEPARTURE.

No subject is more busilY talked about in
New York than Henry E. Dixey's new de-
parture, as shown in his determination to
appear next season in legitimate comedy.
Mr. Frohman has undoubtedly secured a
valuable actor for his stock company and
for 1.-The Solicitor and an equally valua-
BILE amount of advertising. Doubtless we
shall all DO reminded presently that Oscar
Wilde wished Dixey to be "a wave of the
sea so that he might always be dancing
that his 'Adonisn ran SO and so many
nights without stopping, and all that, to
give us a proper idea of the magnitude of
Mr.. Dixey's sacrifice in giving up star
ring.
Yet it is a sbrewd move. The business
for travelling stars isn't what it was before
tho interstate commerce law made travel
ing expenses 30 heavy, and that law bears
especially heavy upon companies carrying
considerable amount of scenery and employ
ing large number of people. The past sea-
son witnessed the death on the road of more
season Of disaster. Dixey's Seven Ages"
has not been as great financial success as
"Adonis, and on the whole he is probably
wise In becoming a stock actor Many a
star whose name is in big type on the play
bills, but who finds it not easy to induce the
ghost to walk regularly envies the quieter
but more solid success of the members Of
Daly's or Frohman's, or Palmer's company
of clever actors.
And no one needs to be told that a return
to the old stock company system will be a
great thing for dramatic art. There are
a good many people in New York who
mourn for Wallaok's vanished stories
still.

A BITING MATCH,

Men Go at Each Other.

Men 10 at EaCn OCner.
From the PhtladelphiG Record.
In West Coal township, early yesterday
morning, Patrick Ryan aud James Levitt,
engaged in a ten-round biting match,
contest that has rarely been equaled in bru-
tality by any struggle between human be-
ings For sometime there had been bad
blood between the men over the latter'S
wife, and when the principals met on Sat
urday night they concluded to have a
prize fight with bare knuckles. 1t was
midnight when they met, with couple OF
hundred of friends, on dancing pavilion.
After fighting a few rodnds the princi-
pals agreed to turn the struggle into Bit
ing match Their hands we're strapped be-
hind their backs and time was called.
Ryan lodged Levitt's rush, and before the
latter could recover RYan's teeth had torn
a piece of flesh from his opponents cheek.
Levitt Immediately retaliated by sinking
his moIars into Ryan's neck. Ryan sprang
on his half-fainting opponent and deliher-
aAsfy tore almost half OF the lower jaw out.

THE DOGS VACATION.
Do you want to send your dog anywhere
this summer for his health? Yess Then get
big dry goods box, many times larger than
the dog. Cover its bottom and insides
well with old newspapers. Put in a liberal
supply of meat, not neglecting few bones
for amusement during the weary ride.
Then put in the dog and nail a few Stats on
top. 1t costs more to do it this way than
to coop the animal up in a little box not
long enough to turn around in, but he will
enjoy the trip far better. got this advice
from an experienced expressman who has
handled hundreds of patriclan pets in and

theless, those who are eminent in the coun-
ellis of the nation and who indulge a
fondness for the sport usually keep it very
dark, fearing prejudice on the part of the
pious element among their constituents

Intentionally losing money at the game to
Senators or Representatives. Even when
the legislator whose honor is thus assailed
has no notion of accepting money for his
vote, he cannot help feeling under sort of
chivalric obligation to man whose cash he
has won.
The most thoroughly fashionable poker
playing ever done in Washington was at
the house of widow of means and fashion,
who was received everywhere in society
here Three nights in the week there was
a game at her house, in which not only the
swellest of the young men about town took
part, but young ladies also of the most
aristoeratic families. 1t was run on the
system that the men were expected to lose
as rule. If any one of them happened to
win once or twice, he was not invited again.
The girls were permitted to gain, this serv-
ing as the bait to attract them.
The mistress of the establishment found
in poker her ruling passion, and was so skill
full that it was believed she cleared her ex-
penses by it each winter. Choice liquors
were always on the sideboard, at which the
players might help themselves, and nothing
much was thought of it if. young gentle
man took more than he ought. The men
took turns in setting up on different even
ings baskets of champagne. Anything more
thoroughly demoralizing could hardly be
imagined. In no other city could such
goings-on have been permitted, nor could it
have been possible elsewhere that such
woman should be visited by the people of
greatest social pretension, while matron-
izing their daughters in a private gambling
house-unless in the Prince of Wales set.
Three years ago the woman ceased coming
to Washington to spend her winters at the
suggestion of the police, it is imagined.

Simple Way of Testing salt.

The following method of testing salt
to be used in the dairy is laid down by
salt manufacturers. 1t is simple test,
can be tried by anyone, and will show
the purity or comparative qualities OF
dairy salt: Take as many common
drinking glasses or large test tubes as
there are samples of salt to examine,
and fill each alike with clear, pure
water; then dissolve teaspoonful OF
salt from each sample and make the
comparison from the instant the salt is
added. The solution showing the least
scum, sediment, foam, milky color, OF
other impurities is the best dairy salt.
Flavor of the salt may be detected from
this solution after it has stood from one
to two hours closely covered. A good
color in salt is, of course desirable, but
the whitest or glistening salt otter
contains impurities extremely detri,
mental to dairy products which ara
hard to detect, but some of these may
be traced in the solution method.

SPRING FATTENiNG.
Keep Hogs So That Short Feed VIII Fat
ten in n Few Weeks.

ten in n Few Weeks.
There are two seasons that may be
considered the best for fattening hogs.
One is in the fall, as the weather be.
gins to turn cooler and new corn begins
to ripen sufficiently to feed, and the
other is in the spring, after the weather
becomes somewhat settled and grass or
clover has made enough growth to fur
nish a good supply of feed. In order to
get the best results at either of these
times it is necessary that the pigs be in
q good thrifty condition.
In many cases there is failure to se-
cure the best results at these times for
the reason that the animals must needs
make up for what has been lost during
the summer.
All feeders recognize the fact that the
cold weather of winter and the heat of
summer are the two most unfavorable
seasons to fatten hogs. With care in
feeding and making comfortable, a
steady gain may be kept up, but usual
ly it is not good plan to fatten at
these times. But it is great advan-
tage to keep them in good condition
during the season in order to reap the
full benefit of the more favorable sea-
sons to fatten. While hogs will fatten
the faster if confined in close pen,
there is an increased risk of loss from
disease, so that, taking health into con-
sideration, the better plan is to allow
them the range of a good pasture.
Glover is better than grass for hogs,
although with good feed in addition a
very satisfactory growth can readily be
secured on grass Corn with clover
makes very satisfactory ration for
fattening in the spring. In many cases,
however, it will be u good plan to add
a small quantity of oil meal and wheat
middlings. This adds to the variety
and will be beneficial in this respect,
and when corn is high, as it is in many
localities now, a ration of this kind
will lessen the cost. Health and thrift
are necessary essentials in securing the
the best gain at the lowest cost. and
plenty of green food after long feed
ing of dry grain with variety of grain
will make thrifty growth.
Hogs ought to be kept so that short
| feed will fatten in short time. Gen
orally hogs that are ready to market a
little early-that is, a little early in the
spring and a little early in the fall
usually bring the best prices, and so il
will often be an advantage to push
them little. A pig farrowed in Sep
tember can, by keeping it in good con
ditioD during the winter and then
pushing after grass or clover gets a
good start, be made ready for market
by the middle of May, at least, and vii
return a better profit than if fed or
until August or September.-St. Louis
| Republic.
