In former times It was the custom in
many German towns to manufacture
sausages of enormous length, and carry
them on festive occasions in solemn pro
cession through Che streets. On New
Years Day in 1858 giant sausage l9S
ellis in length was carried in triumph by
forty-eight persons. But in the year
1888 it took ninety-one persons to carry
a sausage 59S ellis long and weighing 43i
pounds The chronicles of the period
says The butchers men were all neatly
attired in white blouses The first man
wound one end of the sausage several
times round his neck with a portion of it
hanging down in front, the rest followed
at equal distances carrying the trophy
on their shoulders, and the last one had
the other end wound round his neck like
the man at the head Ct the procession
In the year 1901 we are told that the
sausage attained q length OF I ,00j ellis,

NOVELTY IN SANDALS.

Kid sandals in the most aesthetic tints,
such as old rose, reseda green, pale
lemon, terra Gotta, deep gold and cleo
trio blue, have crossed the water to cap
tivate by their unique prettiness the
hearts of the maids and madames The
sandals are in reality only designed for
boudoir use, though the owner may if
she likes wear them in the reception
room when receiving a few feminine in
Inmates. The foot covering is in sandal
shape. with the addition of tiny kid
vandykes about the top, each one of
which is edged with rich though
narrow lace. A shower of tiny mock
gems has studded toe and vandykes with
sparkling stones, and the crossing sandal
straps, which are sometimes of kid, but
more frequently Of ribbon, are thickly
embroidered with jewels. Although the
tinted sandals are favorites, those in
plain white or black kid are worn by
many in preference -ISt Louis Star.

have been at the rate of about seventy-five

the pigeon Is the greater weight which it

without any previous training, and 1t has
often happened that when the regular
master has been injured by an animal a
substitute has bean found, who without
any previous experRnce at few moments
warning has entered the cage for the first
time and put the beasts through their
facings without the audience being any
the wiser.
AS a rule persons who have suddenly
found themselves face TO face with lion
or tiger, owe their safety not to any eX-
cess of bravery on their part. but to a total
absence of fear or their utter unconscious
ness of danger One of the most remarka-

Mons. Penon. the French li0n-tamer, was
al Moscow with his menagerie. He had
occasion to employ a MGujik TO clean out
some of the cages of the wild beasts.
This mou1ik. who was fine specimen of
a Cossack named Ivan Y. katcheff, did not
understand a word of French. and Penon
was equally ignorant of any Slavonic
dialect so the terms OF the contract had
TO be settled by the language of signs. BIZ

day; but this cage selected by the Russian
happened to be tenanted by a splendid
but very fierce untamed Royal Bengal
tiger, who lay stretched out on the floor
fast asleep.
At the noise made by opening and clos
ing the door the hitherto unapproachable
creature raised his head aud turned its
vicious green eyes full on the man, who,
all unconscious of any danger, stood in a
corner coolly dipping his big sponge into
the bucket of water. Just at that moment
PenOn came out of his caravan, and was
stricken dumb at the terrible sight that
met his gaze. What could he do to warn
the man of his danger?

SENATOR CULLOM
Says Congress Is Doing
More Harm Than Good.
TOO SLOW FOR EMERGENCY.
The Illinois Statesman Gives Some
Interesting RecolIections of
Lincoln.

WASHINGTON. Sept. II, 1881 had 8
long chat last night with Senator Shelby
NJ. Cullom of Illinois at his home on
Massachusetts avenue. He lives in Thomas
f. Bayard's old house, near Thomas
Circle, just across the way from the homes
of Senators Morrill, anu Allison and cata-
cornered from the house in which General
Bob ScEenck died not long ago. His house
is the one that Bayard occupied while he
was Secretary of State. 1t is an old-fash-
ioned red brick of two stories and man
sard. with porch running along the front
of it. 1t is built upon a terrace. and
makes very comfortable home. Senator
CullOm is very domestic in his tastes. He
spends most of his evenings with his
family, and you are pretty sure of finding
him at home. He is a very approachable
man. There is no sno oobishness about
him. He is as plain and simple in his ways
as was Abraham Lincoln. and he is noted
for having what Lincoln would have called
good horse sense" He looks very much
like Lincoln, though he does not weigh
more than twO-thiTds as much as Lincoln
did, q or is his frame built on the colossal
scale OF that of the martyred President.
Senator CullOm is, judge, about feet 10
inches in height. He is thin, angular and
wiry. His face is plain, dark in COM
pleXi0n and covered with a short black
beard in which the gray is beginning to
show. He talks easily and well. He has
Ideas of his own and is not afraid to utter
them. He is as close to the people of the
country as any man in the Senate, and his
views on public questions are always i'll
teresting. My conversation with him COW
cred q wide range. Il began with the
session of Congress.
l asked. What is Congress going to do
to help the peOple?"
Il don't know" replied Senator CullOm.
$50 far Congress has done more harm than
good. The people supposed we could do
something. and had we come here, staid
week, repealed the silver clause, and gone
home, we might have helped the finaucl al
situation. AS it is we are retaTding business
aud we art adding to the fright of the peo-
pie. Congress is of no good in pinch like
this. 1t can do nothing quickly. If it has
years to work in, it can accomplish some
thing, and it can revise laws which extend
over long periods. But it is of no good in
an emergency. The people already SEQ
this, and the present revival of business
shows that they are growing tired Of wait
ing and are beginning to help themselves"
How is Illinois being affected by the
times?"
VERY seriously" was the reply. 1--WE
are having hard times. My State is, you
know, great manufacturing State, and
the northern part Of it makes all kinds IF
articles that ale affected by the tariff.

but l ought to Eave had spikes In the
heels.
The camp went TO sleep early, for we
had TO be up by midnight The hours of
refreshing rest in my double rug were
breakfast. The boys had brought a plen-
tifui supply of good beefsteak, several
loaves. baked beans, raw onions. butter,
coffee and tea. Stones were heated TO a
great heat in the big fire, and the steak
was cooked to a charm on these. and also
tered toast and tea and coffee what more
did we want? Next we made our toilet
for the ascent. We rubbed yaseline on
our faces and converted ourselves into
backamOOrs, each assisting the other.
We we're a cOmcal sci around the fire n
our mountaineering costume. Besides the
alpenStock and share or the provisions,
each carried a gunnySack-an indispen-
sable part OF the lmpedimenta. Another
requisite was a large canteen of very
strong tea. The professor had been on
Shasta before. and knew the way and
what was needed.
"At n the morning we were ready to
start. l pinned my skirts up SO that they
came no lower than the knee and the top
of the mOcassins, and / fastened the gunny

the rest of the party. The professor and a
boy went in advance, [ followed and the
other two students were in the rear. No

There was no moon, but il was the 18th
OF August, when the meteoric shower of
that month is due. and the sky was bril-
liant with these cOsmic bodies flashing in
every direction. 1t was wonderful sight.
And the stars looked so bright in the
clear morning air at that altitude. The
consultations were impressive far beyond
their luminous solemnity at lower levels.
The Peiades were visible, and Orion and
Sirius and many others familiar to the eye.
We were grateful for starlight. Just as
soon as we started we got into snow, and
it was snow, snow until We reached the
top of the ridge. Thumb Rock. The timber
limit, | SUPPOSE, is about the same as in

is swept away by tho wind from the very
sharp declivitles the snow lies in a track

would have been quite impossible TO ascend
without an alpenst0ck.
''At first the snow was yielding, because
the day had been hot and the night not
cold. But as we got higher the snow be-
came very much harder and was full OF
holes, rendering it difficult indeed TO make
any progress. We were frequently stum-
bling and falling. and not one Of US had had
the foresight to bring gloves. 1t seemed as
