Misfortune of Old Ago.

AS a rule men of little. money have
good appetites. And as a general
thing men having no money ut all are
both hungry and thirsty. On the
other hand rich men very often not
only have little appetite, but also suf-
fer from other stomaclic complications
that make life miserable. A suddenly
grown wealthy friend OF mine remarked
this recently:
"When was struggling for foot
ing on q very narrow and precarious
salary" said he, Il could cat anything
and eat it three or four times n day.
Nothing was ever the matter with ne.

A Mou,:ln.s statc,ncnt.

They got into an argument about the
money made by people who earn their
living on the stage. Of course they diff
fered: people can't argue satisfactorily
unless they do differ. But here is the
opinion of woman who was once on
the stage, who was considered popular,
who was clever enough in her work to
get applause and praise. who presula-
ably earned more than the average ac-
tress, and yet who is content with her
present life:
When 1 take out the money paid for
gowns which were useless except on the
stage, when make allowance for trav-
cling expenses. hotel bills. weeks in
which few performers earn anything:
when take into account engagements
which could not for many reasons be
satisfactory to me; when | foot up the
salaries which sometimes III my early
work never received and when esti-
mate the thousand and one little ex-
penses which were then necessary. | con-

you what iny- salary was OF what ny
husbands salary now is. bat his earn
ings are less than mine were. But we
two live much better on his smaller
salary than alone could live On my

and all that we need to be happy. We

There are three ways by which musk
rats are captured-by shooting, by
trapping and by spearing. A few may
be secured ct night by creeping rs
noiSeiessly as possible along the creek
edges and watching for them to crawl
np on the bank to feed In this they
are very dainty. Having secured a IA
vorite root, they approach cautiously
the waters edge and dip it in and rub
off the mud. dip it in again and again
until it is perfectly clean and suited to
their taste, when it is eaten with evil
dent relish, provided the sportsman is
sufficiently interested in the process to
wait.
A boat, however, is usually used, as
the rats can be more easily and quietly
approached on the water. In this case
two persons occupy the same boat, the
sportsman requiring u pusller. As this
sport can only be engaged in at night,
the sky must be comparatively clear,
in order that the hunter may have the
advantage of the moonlight, or, better
still, bright starlight. A headlight,
with reflector, is, however. sometimes
used on the bow of the boat, and this
arrangement is frequently quite sue
cessful during the darker nights to one
sufficiently we'll acquainted with the
hunting grounds.-Baltilnore Sun.

Reckless Economy.

AS an Illustration of reckless economy
it may be mentioned that lady for
warded to Siam several parcels de
clared to contain walking sticks and
stationery of the value of 81 los. but
the vigilant eye of the custom house
officer promptly detected a brilliant
collection of diamonds and jewelry
worth upward of G25, 900. The case
was accordingly reported as contrary
to regulation. The postage at the reg
istered letter rate would have amount
ed to about thirty pounds, and it may be
assumed that the course adopted was
prompted by the desire to save the DIFF
ference between the ordinary parcel
rate and this amount. London Tit.

Letters That Never Came.

They tell a funny story CT u man who
rented a box in the postofiice awhile ago.
He appears to have been new to the
business and failed to get the hang Of
the thing. Aftera month or so he called
on one of the postofice officials and he
gan to kick about tho boz. THE blamed
thing never had any mail in it. was his
complaint.
81 have looked in that box every day
since rented it audit hasn't had a thing
in it the whole time. leven addressed a
letter to myself and never heard from it. '
The two took look at the boz and
the postotiice man inquired if the box
renter had ever opened his box Why,
no; OF course not. Couldn't he see that
there wasn't anything in it.
OF course it turned out that he had
forgotten the number of his box though
it was on his receipt, and had been
watching aud swearing over an unrented
one. He found a stock of mail in his
box at last and went away feeling small
enough to crowd inside of it.-Buifalc

In n Street Car.

There was Il typical bit of life shown
in a recent incident in Brooklyn street
car. Two fashionably dressed women,
strangers to each other, and each with
a Child on her lap, found themselves
seatlnates in crowded Car. The hand
some blue eyed boy on one knee soon
fell IL victim to the coquetries of the
dainty little maiden with golden curls
and soft brown eyes on the other, and
to the mutual satisfaction of the parents
pretty little Irritation Went on.
Farther up the car on the other side a
plump, rosy checked miss of two years,
comfortably clad but evidently poor
child, stood against her mother and ad-
miringly watched the pair. AT certain
street the mother of the boy signaled to
stop. kiss the baby" sine said, as she
stood the little fellow on his feet, mean
ing of course Miss Golden Hair, and he
turned to obey.
at that moment. however, the other
little girl, making her way out with her
mother, was exactly abreast of him, and
Master Blue Eyes, finding this little face
before him, promptly bestowed sound
ing, hearty smack upon it. And every
body smiled, while the prince was led
out, the beggar maid wonderingly went
her way. and the disappointed princess,
who had leaned forward for the royal
salute, buried her face in her mothers
cloak. learning thus early in life the BIT
ter truth that the kiss is not always for
the one who expects it.-Her Point of

Why Meat Costs More Than Vegetables

Why Meat Costs More Than Vegetables,
Meat is manufactured product for
which o large amount Of raw material is
required. The manufacture of meat is
process of transforming the vegetable
protein. fats and carbohydrates of grass
and grain into the animal protein and
fat of beef. pork and mutton. The same
principle applies in the production of
milk, eggs and other animal foods. In
the most economical feeding of animals
it takes number of pounds of hay or
com to make q pound of beef or pork.
In other words, let the farmer make ami
NAL protein and fat from vegetable ma
terials in the best way he can and still
he must consume large quantity Of
soil product to produce Il small amount
of animal food. Hence animal foods are
costlier than vegetable.
This is the simple explanation Of the
fact that in most parts of the world
meat is the food of only the we'll to do,
while tho poor live almost entirely on
vegetable food. Thus ordinary people
in Europe eat little meat, and in India
and China they have none at all. IL is
hard enough for them to get the nntri-
ment they need in vegetable forms.
Meats they cannot afford.-Professor At
water in Century.

MOONLIGHT ON THE LAKE.

In the entumnal gloaming, sad aud chill,
The lnoorland mere In silent slumber lay
Unruf1ied were its waters, darkly gray,
And all its sentinel reeds stood stiff and still;
Tho peowit's last good night fell clear ind

The west was dusky brown with dying day.

The CLEAN of moonrisc DER the distant hill.
Like flame that flashes through the CANNON

They whispered to the water that awoke,

And the queen kissed her nightly worshipcrs-

STRANGE CASES.

The Epworth parsonage case, involv-
ing John Wesley, is of great value be-
cause it links both man and Beast in the
sensing of arparitions Mr. Wesley says:
"Sooa after our large mastif dog came
and ran to shelter between us. While
the disturbances continued he used to
bark and leap and snap on one side and
the other, and that frequently before any
person in the room heard any noise at all
But after two or three days he used to
tremble and creep away before the noise
began. And by this the family knew it
was at hand: nor did the observation
ever fail" The testimony here is Ger
tainly credible merely as honest assever-
alton, but VIC IRE free to judge whether
it was some electric or magnetic phe-
nomenon that the dog felt or was ghostly
presence.
A very strange case is reported by Mr..
Eodgson in September, 1890, i'll which a
white lady appeared. THE third night
the haunted mans Cog crouched and
stared, and then acted as If driven around
tho room. Brother saw nothing, but
heard kind of rustic, and then the poor
dog howlcd and tried to hide, and never
again would that dog go to that room"
Robert Dale Owen reports a case of a
haunted man who had not been able for
years to keep dog. lconfess these cases
all seem different when looked at with
some knowledge of dog nature. ! am
sure that scared man would scare a
dog out of liza wits.-St. Louis Globe

an Hour" even, In any properly consti-
tuted monarchy, and who would not be
fit to be poundmaster in q republic
whose citizens are ft to live, when they
knew him thoroughly, The FIRST and
most important desideratum of these
conspirators is to break down the liberty
of the press. The men who could seek
to re-enact force bill for the
enslavement of the south, baffled
in their colossal scheme of tyr-
amy, are descending everywhere to
petty prosecutions involving persecution
of Democrats. 1t is the thin edge OF the
wedge. If the American people were to
allow it to enter, as the first tentative
efforts of this bureaucratic and feudal
scheme, the butt would shortly follow.
The postoffice department, under the
leadership of the pious perjurer, Wana-
maker, is to be made the instrument for
crushing out the press. A more futile
scheme was never entered upon. Truth
and liberty rejoice in the eternal years
of God.

WANAMAKER'S GESsLER's CAP.

There is no question of the fact that
in the United States it is being quietly
but strenuously sought to establish
despotism through the medium of the
federal courts. The Gessler's cap has
been raised, and it is sought to make
the citizen bow before. We do not
claim that the Republican party in
tends to apply this system to its own
partisans. On the contrary, quite the
reverse. Inofensive Democrats are to
be sought out and prosecuted, through
the medium OF the federal courts, on
trumped up charges which simply in
dicate the malice and ingenuity Of
the federal agents. While it is
quite possible that no honest jury can
be found to play into the hands of such
a scheme subversive of American lib
erty and the spirit Of the constitution,
these people know we'll that a great ex-
pense is involved in vexatious prosecu-
tions. 1t is the old federal spirit of
John Adams over again. Meanwhile,
the Dorseys, and the Dudleys, and the
Elkinses, and the innumerable tribe
who have outraged both the spirit and
the letter of the law, are to be sum-
moned around the throne at Washington
as the pretorian guard of petty little
Caesar, who could not be "the King of

Natural gas has been struck adjoining
Los Angeles. 1t is pouring out in large
quantities, under high pressure, and ap-
pears to possess all the qualities neces-
sary for heat and power purposes.
The we'll has been bored by Mr.. 1. w.
Hellman, on his ranch mile or so east
of Boyle Heights, formerly known as
the Repetto place. He has had force
of men at work there for some time,
and on Friday the odor of gas was dis
tinctly noticeable about the we'll and on
Saturday afternoon it burst forth in
large volumes. When lighted the blaze
extended for twenty feet up in the air.
The pressure has not yet been deter
mined, but it appears to be heavy
enough to insure the power necessary to
distribute the gas for considerable
distance. The men at the place were
engaged all of Sunday in getting the
flow under control, and at last succeeded
in Gaping the we'll. The flow was
struck at a depth of 142 feet.
Measures have been taken to have
the we'll carefully handled, and the
value OF the gas will be at once deter
mined. If it proves to be, as it is ex-
pected it will, found in large guam
titles, it will be piped to this city, and
will solve the problem Of cheap fuel for
manufacturing purposes.

referred the water question made a
majority and minority report to the
council yesterday. The majority, COM
posed of the Messrs. Innes and Rhodes,
took substantially the position which
was outlined in the HERALD's editorials
on the subject. The minority, which
consisted OF Major Bonsall, expressed
about the same views that the versatile
"Jayhawker" has familiarized the pub.
lie with through the columns of the
Times. We do not know that this has
any relation to the fact that the able
president of the council is the son-in-

THERE seems to have been decided

THERE seems to have been q decided
trait of magnanimity in Robinson, who
was killed by Lieutenant Hetherington
for iaison with his wife. Admiral Belk-
nap, who arrived at San Francisco on
the Oceanic from Japan yesterday says
that, before he died. the wounded man
wrote the admiral letter asking elem
ency for his slayer. On being inter-
viewed Belknap said, emphatically,
"Hetherington will never be convicted
of murder" Nevertheless the coroner q
jury found him guilty of willful murder.
This does not necessarily control the
consular court, however.
