How Men Wear Their Cuffs.

It is quite interesting to study the diff ferent ways men have of wearing their cuffs A certain class of men always wear the largest size they can bny, and another class get those but little larger than their wristbands. As rule the small, we;lzen faced man wears the largy- est cuffs. He generally gets No. II and always allows them to come down over his hands. The fatman generally wears small cuffs and rarely has them ir sight. Another conspicuous character is the man who, always keeps his little finger spr.wling around ill the attempt to push lis cuff up where it belongs.
 Examine his hand closely and you will find small callous on the outer edge of his little finger. Why does he persist in wearing them in this way? He realizes that it looks untidy and that they are an annoyance to him, yet you could not in duce him to Lave his shirt sleeves made any shorter or to wear sleeve supporters. Then again you meet the man who always wears the '.cuff machine," an ingenious contriyance that attaches the cuff to the shirt sleeve and may be raised or lowered nt will Next comes the man who saves his laundry bill by reversing his cuffs, and the man who has them joined to his sleeves.

Future Warfare.

With regard to ''smokeless powder, J Colonel Lonsdale Hale observes that, though the report of tho rifles when fired is heard, it is very difficult to sec whence the rifles are fired. Under certain con. ditions no trace of smoke can bc distin. guished. Minor act; of surprise, he con siders, will be more frequent ill the future, and will often paItake of the nature of ambuscades. Very small bodies of cavalry, intimately connected with infantry, forming in action patrols with tho latter, will therefore be ncces. sary, and it will no longer be possible to discover vii. posted batteries.
 On tho whole, Colonel Hale considers that o:lly l ..ar can absolutely decide what t!n v.focts of tho improvement il small ar.ns will be. One thing. however is certilin--;n;st Is, that the difficulty ot leading troops has considerably in creascd.-Loudon News. ..

Burning to Death.

Sir William Jenner sent to the London Lancet an article on .sThe Appearance Observed in Bodies Burned to Death. Y on which the editor remarks: 'sReaslers will notice that one of the main features in the conclusions arrived at is the ref,l tation of the popular idea that .eburned to death,' is in most cases an extremely painful process. On the other hand. 1t will be observed that, although in the majority of instances life is destroyed by suffocation, there are some in which the post mortem signs prove that ere life il extinguished the fiery element exerts it's intrinsic physical action upon she un. : happy victims. It must not be coneaetled. however, that where the bodies show signs of burning during life there has necessarily been commensurate degree of suffering, for i'll all probability. while the skin still retains it's vital reaction to fire Gas proved by the resulting hyperae mia and vesication), insensibility. par tial or complete, has supervened on ex posture to the suffocating fumes

What Your Great erandmothsr Did.

She hetcheled the flax and carded the wool, and wove the linen, and spun the tow, and made the clothes for her hus- band and ten children. She made butter and cheese, she dipped tallow candles, to light the house at night,- and she cooked all the food for her household by an open fireplace and brick oven. Yes; and when she was forty of age, she was all ready an old lady whose best days were over. Her shoulders were bent and her joints enlarged by hard work, and she wore spectacles and cap. Her great grand-daughter, with all the modern con- veniences for comfort, refinement and luxury, may be as charming and attract i've at forty-five as at twenty. Especially is this true if she preserves her health and beauty by the use of Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription, which wards off all female ailments and irregularities. cures them if they already exist, keeps the life current healthful and vigorous, and enables the woman Of middle age to retain the freshness of girlhood upon brow and cheek, the light of youth in her eyes. and it's elasticity in her step.

A Sou;rreI Story.

"I've got a true squirrel story to tell you," said lnember-of the club the other evening. "A friend of mine hay. ing a cottage on the shore of Oneida lake left cornstarch box or package III the pantry. There was little corn starch remaining in it, and to secure i, against mice the box was placed inside of tall pitcher having very smooth surface. My friend was at the cottage again few days after; and bcthought himself of the cornstarch. Upon ex- amining to see If the mice had got at it the box was found standing on end in the pitcher as left, but it was filled tc the brim with sweet acorn meats, all shelled and as nicelyslaid in as any per son could have done it.
 sAnd not one was to be found ill the pitcher outside of the box. Those squir. rels must have expended good deal of labor and worked faithfully to have ac. complished the job in so short time Of course the acorns were not disturbed but left for the squirrels winter snb nce."-Utica Observer.

seventeen years is long time to suffer from pain located near the brain and retain ones reason, and yet MT. William simpson of Holyoke did so suffer and lived to be cured MT. s. is A years old, and from childhood has suffered from headache. The principal cause was a bad case or catarrh, but seventeen years ago a neuralgia pain settled In his left temple and continued there. His Sufferings were at times very severe, a slight cold or any aggravatton or the catarrh making him wild with pain. Mir. s. could not count the number of physicians who had attend ed him In all these years; none of whom had given him more than temporary relief. He had never been able to do hard work, and some of the time was unable to work at all. He came to the Hotel Gilmore on May F to try as last re- sort the effect of magnetic treatment. Dr. Wild gave MT. simpson d careful examination, and then entered into a full explanation as to the original cause ot the pain. When the doctor had finished Mir. Simpson at once placed himself under treatment, and he will always bless the star that guided him to try magnetism. After the first treatment the pain began to subside, and letter just received states that he has en- tiTely recovered, not only from the pain but from the catarrh also. People in this vicinity have become so accustomed to baholding Drs. Smith and Wild's remarkable cures that 1t is now only question, What next7 DTS.

STEEL BETTER THAN IRON.


 1t is also easier to repair an iron ship since the necessary shape can be turned out at once. The rapidity with which an iron ship can be built counts for much. In the present day the ease with which iron is obtained and worked con- stitutes another element of cheapness, for the final cost today must amount to nearly 9 per cent. less, especially when the time, preparation, saving of weight and life of the ship are considered.
 AS to the safety of a ship when prop erly constructed and subdivided, it is only necessary to say that when the in- ternal space of an iron ship is sub- divided into many compartments by longitudinal or transverse partitions rising to sufficient height, or by hori- zontal platforms, or inner skin, and all such divisions are made water tight, then that ship is safer than any wooden ship would be against laundering. for the space required for these bulkheads can not be found i'll timber built vessel
 The subject of steel may be briefly dis cussed by rememb bering that steel is sim ply superior kind of iron, and by vir- tue of it's greater strength is of lighter weight The strength of steel is from 10000 to 100000 pounds per square inch. Steel is as strong lengthwise as it is broadwise; iron is one-fifth stronger lengthwisy than it is broadwise. The elastic limit of .steel is about 25 per cent. greater than that of iron. So steel may be trusted with working loads nearly 9 per cent. greater than the oth- CT material. Lloyds estimate that by building ships of steel there is d saving in weight over iron of about 15 per cent. or, to put the same thing in another way, steel ship of the same dimensions as all iron ship would have an increaseL cargo capacity Gin weight) of some 15 O. 20 per cent.
 In the matter of cost, steel is more cx. pensive at first, but the best proof of il ultimate cheapness is found i'll the ln- disputable fact that modern merchant ships are being built of steel. In 1S9u there were 56O. steel ships built, 99 iron and 27 composite and wood. There neett be no further argument as to the stl- periority of steel from every poin. oi view.--New York Times.

THE BROCK RANCH HOMICIDE.


Deputy Marshal VIII Goodsoll re-
turned from Grand county, Southern
Utah, with w. T.. Davis, who Sc
charged with the murder of'Charlee
@. Brock, william Muller, and
Charles Dusec on the 9th Of August
last. The homicide took place at the
Brock Ranch, half a mile from the
Colorado State line, In Grand county
Utah. Davis Ia a rather fms looking
man, about 30 years Of age, and
weighs about go pounds. He Is an
eS-Foderal soldier, having served four
years In the Filth Ponnsy lvanis cav.
airy during the war. He seems
possessed OF great decision Of character,
aud takes his arrest very coolly.
He was brought before Com
missioner Groenman at IL O'Clock.
John NJ. Zane appeared for the people,
but nothing was done. a cOnsu tation
was held between the prisoner's coun-
sci aud Mr.. Zane, and the pr0priety OF
waving an examination and bringing
the case before the grand jury was dis
cuAsed. Mt. Zane proposed 10 consult
Attorney Narian on the subject, and II
was generally understood the case
would 20 direct 10 the grand Jury.
Captain Davis, Ms he is generally
known among his friends, was seen by
n NEWS reporter. Acting under the
advice Of his attorneys he would
make no statement save that he felt
himself justified In the killing OF these
men. shortly after the tragedy on
the oath ult., coroner's inquest was
held, and verdict Of Justihablo' homi.
eide was returned. Davis then went
70 Moab, 70 miles distant from
the ecoue Of the tragedy, and snrrond-
cred himself. An examination was
entered into, but acting ON the evil
denne then presented, and on the vor-
dict OF tho coronor's jury Davis was
acquitted. Immediately on his arrival
Mt his home In Mestwatef, hefound
Deputy Mafshal VIII Goodsell there

Utah at the Worlds Fair.

There are Mt least ilfly industries In
thla Territory which ought to be
represented ut the Worlds Fair. MIR.
Frank w. Jennings, chief of the de-
partment OF manufactures Tor Utah,
has just roinrned from tho Pacific
Coast, where he has been looking into
the progress that other States are mink.
ing around US. He says that Califor.
MAS exhibits In this department will
not begin to compare fsv'fably with
our own, and the enterprlsing people
OF the coast arc frank enough % al.
init this, and to express the hope aud
the belief that In this respect, at least,
Utah win oulshine all the rest OF tho
taiciilc Coast States.
Mr.. Jennings was surprised, he
e'ates, to hnd such warm, friendly
70 ling towards Utah. The people o.
California are net only willing to assist
in making Utah shine at
the Worlds Fair, but manifest
positive anxiety that the
Tefriiory's wonderful resources shall
be adequately represented. Mr.. Jen-
hinge and his assistant, Mt. ID. q.
Dunbar, are making every effort to see
that all the manufacturing establish
ments in the Territory shall Shave
some kind Of an exhibit in the Utan
building at Chicago.
