The other night couple Of two
legged brutes pounded each other in
the livestock pavilion on the Worlds
Fair grounds for the edif1cation Of
two hundred plug-ugly spectators
and purse of $500. There are those
who hold that such an exhibit ought
not to have a place in the Exposition.
But two nights previous to this prize
fight several thousand men, women,
and children assembled on the banks
of the south lagoon to witness the
sun dance of the Quackahl Indians,
an exhibition in which the dancer,
after becoming frenzied by his eXer-
tions, tortures himself in most hOr-
rible manner in order to prove his
bravery. There are those who believe
that this exhibit also ought not to
have a place at the Worlds Fair.
But, strange to say, those who wit
messed one of these performances,
with every appearance of delight and
interest and enjoyment, could not be
hired for any sum to witness the
other. But from the standpoint of
humanity, and decency, and moral
ity, and common sense, what is the
difference between the two?

A MAN with broken neck is lying
in a New York hospital waiting for
death. His injury came from diving
into the water from a spring board.
The water was but a few feet deep,
and his friends supposed that his
head struck the bottom, but the ply
stefan expresses the belief that his
neck was broken when he struck the
water. This theory will be accepted
as plausible, at least by persons who
have looked upon diving from points
high above the water as a risky
business. Water has a strong resist
ing power, and though the hands
clasped above the divers head are
expected to break the force of con-
tact, the head must meet with resist
ance that slight change of position
might make dangerous. In support
of the opposite position it must be
acknowledged that men have jumped
from the Brooklyn bridge to the
water below without serious hurt

BIG LOBSTER POUND.
A Million of the Toothsome Shellhsh
Shipped from 1t Yearly.

A Million of the Toothsome Shellhsh
Shipped from 1t Yearly.
There is lobster farm-or pound,
as it is called-twelve acres in extent
at Southport, Me. The Boston Globe
describes this pound, the most sue
cessful on the coast, whence 1,OOO,-
900 Holsters are shipped each year.
The pound is formed by building a
solid dam across a tide-water cove.
This dam does not quite rise to high
water mark, but across the top is
placed fence of iron rods, permit
ting a daily change of water, and
preventing the Holsters from escap-
ing. In the spring and fall business
is most brisk. When the fishermen
bring the Holsters to the pound, the
fish" as they are called, are hoisted
to the dam, measured, and those
which are more than ten and one
half inches long, the legal limit, are
thrown in. If a lobster is clever his
life in the pound may be long and
full Of joy. If he is stupid he will be
f1shed out with a drag seine and
packed in barrel, with piece of
ice for pillow, and sent to Boston.
The seine is made Of stout Irvine and
is weighted at the bottom with a
heavy chain. Along the top is row
of corks, which sustain the weight of
the seine while the chain drags on
the bottom of the pound. A single
cast of this seine will bring up lob
sters enough to fill eleven barrels.
The chain as it sweeps along the bot
tom stirs up the Holsters, which i'm
mediate1y shoot backward into the
slack Irvine. In taking them out the
men wear heavy mittens, though
even then they are often nipped. In
the pound the Holsters are fed on salt
herring, men rowing about in skiffs
and pitching the herring overheard.
This is called feeding the chickens, :"
and it takes about six barrels to
make light luncheon for the flock
There are said to be number of old,
hard shells in the Southport farm
which for years have evaded the
casts of the drag. Two of enormous
size have become quite tame and
crawl about in the shallow water.
The age of the lobster is a debated
question. The small marketable
specimens are generally supposed to
be from 4 to 6 years old, but some
Holsters are believed to live to the
green old age of rs years.

the upper one little longer. A sim
liar style has the elbow sleeve divid-
ed into four puffs, each one narrower
than the one above it. A style which
the dressmaker claims is eminently
fitted for wash gowns, and which the
laundress vehemently declares is not,
is shown. The sleeve is full to the
elbow and tight below. Narrow dou-
BILE ruffies OF the material, edged with
lace, run from shoulder to wrist,
leaving only the narrowest stripe Of
the original puff visible. Still less
to the laundress' liking is the other
sleeve of the batch. 1t consists of
soft puff to elbow and cape of ruffles
not more than an inch wide from
the shoulder seam half way to the
elbow. In a gown with sleeves like
those a girls shoulders seem about
the size of British generals, and
her waist correspondence small, so
that sleeves like those hold sway de-
spite laundresses.

Formerly the blood tribute took
the shape of three white mares.
Their price and the difficulty OF ind

hundred and twenty dollars-a large
sum for these poor mountaineers.

Exposition is a remarkable work of
art and is truly typical Of the young
and ambitious State that has pro-
duced it. The statue is of sterling
silver, with a base of gold. and cost,
all told, $307,6 The statue is the
work of the well-known sculptor, r.
II. Park, and Ada Rehan was the
model who posed for it. The statue
is five feet ten inches in height and
stands on globe upheld by an eagle,
the globe being two feet In diameter.
The metal used in its cast was ex-
tracted from the native ore of Mon
tana. After the Exposition, the stat
lie will be exhibited throughout the

Survival of Strange Custom.
On July 13 Of this year, as on July
Is of every year since the thirteenth
century, the inhabitants of the prov
ince of Baretous, in France, including
the mayors of three communes, per-
formed curious ceremony in expia-
tion of a crime their ancestors
COmuulULcu more Uudu 1--WE INJURED
years ago. In those early days the
people of Baretous fell upon the peo-
pie of Roncal, in Spain, just across
the border, and massacred thousands
of men, women and children. To-day
their descendants humiliate them
selves before the Roncalese as token
of sorrow and regret.
Punctually at 9 o'clock in the
morning the ceremony began. The
Baretous dignitaries, escorted by an
armed detachment, stood at the
frontier. A peasant, bearing a red
pennant as symbol of justice, was
at their side. At the stroke of the
hour the French mayors advanced,
wearing their scarfs of Office and
preceded by peasant carrying a
lance, with a white pennon as flag
of truce. Behind these followed the
peasantry of Baretous, some leading
three white heifers.
"Do you wish peace?" cried the
Spanish mayor of Isaba.
"Yes," replied the Frenchmen.
They laid their lance on the bound
airy stone. The Spaniards planted
theirs on French soil, then laid it

THERE is no punishment too severe
for that Pennsylvania farmer who
rugged up an Internal machine and
murdered three boys who were tres
passing on his land. Trespassers are
an annoyance, and often do great
damage, but there is nothing in the
laws that gives the owner of land
the right to take the law into his
own hands and execute capital pun
ishment upon persons who happen
to invade his premises. Trespass is
is not capital crime in this country.

SOME short-sighted people are agi.

SOME Short-Slghted people are agl-
tating the question of keeping
the Worlds Columbian Exposition
open another year. The public
should not be mis,ed by this foolish
proposition. The Fair will be closed
Oct. 81, and that will be the end of
the Worlds Fair period. If any
persons are misled by these agitators
into staying away from the Fair in
1898 with the expectation that they
will have chance to see it in 1894
they will make the mistake of their
lives. The arguments against re-
opening next spring are too over
whelming to be overcome. It would
cost hundreds of thousands of dollars
to protect the buildings from fire
during the winter and pay fire pre-
miums, to police the Fair, and to re-
pair damages by the storms of win
ter, which inevitably would occur
to temporary buildings put up only
for summer use. The exhibit
ors could not be induced to risk
their exhibits in any event It would
not pay from any point of view, and
therefore there Is not the slightest
possibility that the Fair will be open
another year. Those who wish to
see the beautiful White City must do
so before Nov. | or it will be forever
too late. After that date it will dis
appear like a dream.

The Well of Frozen Air.

Near Dayton, Ore, there is we'll
locally known as the ''well of frozen
air." In drilling it a stratum of
frozen clay and gravel was encount-
cred at depth of f1fty-1ve feet.
After passing through five feet Of
this, numerous cavities were en-
countered from which cold air came
with sharp gusts. The escape of the
air from the well may be heard a
distance Of nearly 200 yards, and it
is SO frigid that is not possible for
any one to hold his hand over the
opening for more than few minutes
without having it frozen stiff. Ac-
cording to an exchange bucketful
of water set near the mouth of the
well will freeze through during one
nights time. It is needlessly to add
that work on the we'll was abandoned
as soon as these frigid blasts found
vent through the opening made by
the drill.

The Courage of lmpudence.

There are many sorts of courage
which both men and women would
be better without, but, unfortunate
ly, are not.
There is the courage of impudence.
1t abounds to-day. 1t is all the fash
ion. If you want thing and cannot
get it in any other way, try impu-
dence-that is a receipt which is
constantly being given in the papers.
Then there is the courage of ignor-
ance. Not long ago I was in room
in which there was an eminent
pianist. He played as, SO far as l
know, he alone can play, one of
Chopin's masterpieces-dow his
finger tips with the eloquence of
many voices.
Directly he had finished the lady
of the house went sailing up to him.
"Thank you so much. You should
hear my little girl do so want you
to tell me what you think of her.
For so small a child-not yet learned
music two years = we think she's
wonderful"
Before the astonished virtuoso,
whose knowledge of English is
not profound, could get a word in
edgeways, there was a small child
about years of age planted on the
music stool with "Ye Banks and
Braes," with variations, opened out
in front of her.
In a self-sufficient little nonentity,
who had mot yet learned music two
years." and who, naturally, had no
music in her, the performance was
excusable, and it would be too much
to say that sudden death would have
been it's only adequate reward-but
in the presence of that famed must
clan. I do not know what he suffered.
