Generously Admits the Truth.

Compared with New York Chicago
is not "a rich city. We have men
here by scores whese wealth exceeds
that Of anybody in Chicago. We
have families whose fortunes yield
fortunes every year in excess Of all
possible expenditure. These rich
men OF ours have done something for
the public The AstOrs have given
US great library at a cost OF half
million or So The ROoseyelts and
Nanderbilts and SlOans have built
hospitals which are an honor to them
The Metropolitan Museum OF Arts
has been bul up within a brief
period by gifts which have made its
possessions one Of the worlds most
notable collections Of AIT works. But
when did any rich New Yorker
promptly put down a round million
to secure for this city an advantage
such u: that which Marshal Field
aims at in his gift? And when have
other New Workers responded with
second million TO MAKE good the con-
ditions OF the first gift? And when
have other New Workers responded
with a second m lliOn to make good
the conditions Of the first gift?
Chicago is giving lie sons to the
other cities of this country All the
glory and all the prosperity she has
gained are rightly hers. They are
the legitimate fruit Of her peoples
publlc-spiritel generosity and OF their
confident devotion to tie city in
which they dwell There is every
where manifest among Chicagoans
sense OF duty to the city which seems
to exist in like degree in no other
cosmopolitan city. 1t is the habit TO
speak Of this as ''Droyincialism," but
II that be the correct term then pro-
yincialism is one Of the very best
qualities the people Of any city can
possess
Chica o's new university has re-
ceiyed more money already from the
generosity of Chicago people than
Columbia, with all its grand tradi-
tions, has had from New York in a
century. How long would it have
taken Chicago to raise the 800, 900
necessary to build the Washington
arch? How long did it take US, and
with what tOisOme effort was the
end accomplished?

Thirty.Fiye Foot Python.

At a hotel on Bush street, in a
strong cage with All aperture closely
guarded with iron bars, n monster
python is recuperating after "A sea voy-
age from Manila. The snake is the
property of Emil Walker, Of Manila,
and snake and owner were passengers
on the City of Pekin, which recently
arrived. The python is twenty-feet IN
length and twelve inches in circum-
ference.
Mr.. Walker had heard of the Mid
winter Fair and iourneyed from his
home in Manila with the idea of max
ing a python exhibit.
"Ihis is n small snake, said he,
"because it is young; not that they
grow so very much longer, but they
increase to q foot in thickness with
age. The way we catch the pythons
in the Philippine Islands is to bait a
large hook made for that purpose with
a rat or some other small live animal,
and that is the way that this one was
caught. "
The snake was the object of much
curiosity among the frequenters Of the
hotel yesterday. A live rabbit was
placed in the cage for food, but the
snake disappointed the curious by re
fusing to eat it. San Francisco Chron-

Dentists' Secrets.

A long chapter of dentists secrets
the secrets revealed TO them by
customers made uncOnsc Gus but
laxative by gas-has been revealed
by a conscienceless tOoth-puller up in
Pittsburgh One Young society lady
swore several lines Of blank spaces
while a tooth was being drawn. A
burglar, taken from jail to have a
tooth pulled, confessed all the de-
tails OF his crime when under the
Influence" and parted with ten years
OF liberty. Occasionally men want
to fight and are very strong; others
are Jolly and confidential. The most
interesting story OF the series is this
told by one dentist OF another: 81
know a young dentist who was head
over heels in love with a pretty girl,
but he could never make any head
way with her IIe was bashful.
That was the main trouble. One
day she came to him TO have tooth
pulled. He administered gas, and
before she revived she let enough
drop to assure my friend that il he
proposed he wouldn't be rejected.
She is his wife to-day, and il it had
not been for the gas l don't suppose
the wedding would ever have come
of. Washington News

Absept-M,adedpess.

On a Lake Shore train out oil
Cleveland a few days ago was an old
lady who was used to travel She
was perfectly at home on the cars,
aud there were none OF the little dis
couragements that usually come to
travellers that could disconcert her In
any degree.
The evening was warm and the
good woman was seized with burn
ing thirst. But generous manage
ment provides for all such wants
Ha There was the "hydrant" ia the
car!
Walking solemnly back to the
water tank the lady set the cup under
the faucet and turned on the water.
1t trickIed; it rippled; it poured; the
catch pan ran over and the tempting
ice water was rapidly cooling the ends
Of the crossties; but the woman stood,
silent and thoughtful, waiting.
At last trainman approached
with the polite query:
Lady, do you know what you're
doing?"
"Me? Certainly"
swell, why are you running all that
water Oa?"
With a look of scorn f.. such ignor'
ance she replied:
"Well, I'm just letting it run till
it gets cool"
The sight Of the faucet perhaps
caused the absent minded lady &c
think it was a hydrant with through
connection with Lake Erie. Why
not? Wasn't it the Lake Shore road?

AnimaIs-Deceivers Ever.

Swindling and deceit are known
among animals In military stables
horses are known to have pretended
to be lame in order TO avoid going
into military exercise. A chlmpan'
zee had been fed on cake when sick;
after his recovery he often feigned
coughing in order TO procure daintleS
The cuckoo sometimes lays its eggs in
the sparrOw's nest, and TO make the
deception surer it takes away one OF
the SparroT's eggs
Animals are conscious OF their de-
ceit as shown by the fact that they
try to operate secretly and nOiseleSSly;
they show a sense Of guilt ifdetected;
they take precautions in advance TO
avoid discovery; in some cases they
manif ST regret and repentance.
Thus, bees which steal often hest
tate before and after their exploits,
as if they feared punishment. Some.
one described how a monkey COM
mitted theft: while he pretended to
sleep the animal regarded him with
hesitation, and stopped every time
his master moved or seemed on the
point of awakening. Such, and many
mere well-Known facts, may be due
TO fear of punishment which natur-
ally follows a misdeed, just as is OBJ
served among habitual thieves

THE TWO BOY5.
Things Were Evidently Not "Evened Up"
Between Them.

A lady accompanied by her sou, a
lad of about 3 years, was riding in a
street car uptown the other day. The
young gentleman had on what was
evidently his first suit Of 'grown-up"
clothes. His shirt, collar tie, and
scarf pin were immaculate. His
suit was evidently made by good
tailor aud his faultless kid gloves
were OF the latest shade He was
well pleased with himself and his
mamma was we'll pleased with him.
At Forty-second street newsboy
came on the cars carrying his evening
papers He was rather more wretched
looking than the average newsboy.
His attire consisted solely Of very
ragged shirt and an equally ragged
pair of trousers, which were held on
by a strip Of dirty cotton cloth which
served for a suspender. He was hat
less and shoeless. The most remark
able thing about this newSbOy was
that his face and hands were clean.
The boy in the good clothes bought a
paper lie Immediately began to
read it as the men do while he alb
sently held out his gloyed hand for
the change
While the newsboy counted the
pennies into the palm Of the new kid
glove he looked his customer over,
not contemporary, as one might
imagine, but rather wistfullY Then
he walked slowly out OF the car, look
ing back over his shoulder at the
well-dreSsed boy
A change OF horses was being made,
and the newsDOy stopped outside Of
his window with his papers under his
arms and his hands in his pockets,
still looking at the boy in the derby
hat The wistful expression deepened
and grew. One could read upon his
face what he was thinking, and a
gentleman who had watched the lit
tie incident said with a sigh as the
ear started out:
Things don't seemed to be very
well eyened up in this world" and
everybody seemed TO understand ex-
cept the boy, who was still looking
at his paper, and his mother, who
was fondly gazing. 49, New York

GteeleY's Eneraeilc Partner.

An Old New York newspaper mantells
this interesting story in the American
Art Printer:
During one of the most terrible
snowstorms that ever visited New
York, previous to the blizzard OF five
years ago-in February, 1S45-the OIL
flee of the Tribune was burned to the
ground The paper had 'gone to
press" at half-past two in the morning
and the whole edition had been de-
liyered to the carriers, when, at four
o'clock. fire broke out in the lower
part of the building, and two hours
later there was only heap OF smould-
ering ruins. At eight o'clock, looking
on from the brink of what had lately
been fiery chasm, and from which
smoke and steam was still rising, l saw
Greeley trudging through two or three
feet of snow, closely followed by his
partner. Thomas McElrath-the lat
ter a shrewd business man, to whom
Greeley had repeatedly attributed the
first pecuniary success of the Tribune.
The two advanced to the edge Of the
GAP which held all that was left of the
establishment, and I, standing by the
side of Greeley, put to him this ques-
ton:
"Well, Mr.. Greeley, what are you
going to do? Will the Tribune be pub
lished again?'
Greeley replied, with that curious
corrugatIon of the brow which always
indicated any perturbation in his
mind, and in the odd falsetto note with
which he gave ear-piercing expression
to any woe that afflicted him; q
do--o-n't know"
Just ut this moment McElrath came
MP. Greeley turned to him with awoe-
begone expression, and said:
"Well, McElrath, this is a pretty
clean smash what shall We do?'
McElrath replied: sect ont the
paper tomorrow morning, as usual
1t was done. Though the partners
did not know but they were ruined;
though their safe was still roasting in
the ruins with all their books in it,
and though their capital was exhaust
ed. the indomitable energy of Neil
rath caused the paper to appear at the
regular time next morning, and the
event proved to be the best kind OF an
advertisement, for it brought the Iri-
bune literally thousand compliments,
and gave its managers reputation for
energy and enterprise.

Tariff duties and internal revenue taxation
on incomes and corporations are exciting
public interest. but Of quite as much interest
are those things which tax the system and
require at once an external remedy. On this
subject. with special reaomnsndation, Mr.

FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.

Size in progeny is generally indu-
enced by the hen.
A change Of poultry diet is essential
to good condition.
The medium-sized breeds are the
most active and robust.
A few barrels of road dust for the
hens to wallow in is as necessary as
any of your other winter stores.
When hen reaches her third year
her usefulness as an egg producer has
so diminished that it is time to fatten
her for market.
Every farmer should reserve a good
supply of poultry for his own table.
If anyone can appreciate good food, ne
ought to be able to.
In removing dead branches care
should be taken to make the cut close
and smooth. If a stub is left it will
not heal over readily.
The wild cherry is the home Of the
tent caterpillar The safest remedy is
to cut of and burn infested branches
as soon as they make their appearance.
Ben Davis, Grimes's golden, Stark,
winter-sweet, Paradise, Stewards gol-
len, Fink $ rambo and quite a list Of
standard apples are said to bear gen
orally in the even numbered years.
It is now high time that the pigs,
which have been undergoing the fat
tening operation, should be crowded
as much as possible and marketed
when it is thought they 1--we reached
their prime condition.
One or two careless frultgrowers in
a neighborhood will keep mp n supply
Of the tent caterpillar to infest all the
orchards for mile or two around 1t
is only by thorough, earnest work that
they can be eradicated.
As a hen lays in the morning, it IS
probable that the egg is formed chiefly
at night, hence the need for keeping
tie bird comfortable during that time
that her vitality may not be expended
in trying to keep warm.
If kainit be scattered on the floor OF
the poultry house it will act both as
disinfectant and absorbent, and If the
manure begins to ferment the gaseous
ammonia will be converted into sui
phate and remain in a solid form.

Right Way to Boil Rice.

These are the directions for boiling
rice sent out by the Louisiana Rice
Exhibit at New Orleans: Pick your
rice clean and wash it in two cold
waters, not draining off the last water
till you are ready to put the rice on
the fire. Prepare a saucepan with
water and a little salt. When il
bOils sprinkle in the rice gradually so
as not to stop the boiling. Boil hard
for twenty minutes, keeping the pot
covered Then take il from the back
of the fire and pour off the water,
after which set the pot on the back
or the stove to allow the rice TO dry
aed grains to separate. Remember
to boil rapidly from the time you
cover the pot until you take it of;
this allows each grain to swell to
three times its normal ST e, and the
motion prevents the grains from
st cking together Don't stir it, as
this will cause it to fall TO the bot
tom and burn. When properly boiled
rice should be snowy white, perfectly
dry, soft, and every grain separate.

S.daciIY Of Wild Ducks.

Wild geese and wild ducks show
knowledge as to the resistance of the
atmosphere and sagacity in overcom-
ing it. When Aocks of them have to
go long distances they form a triangle
TO cleave the air more easily, and the
most courageous bird takes position at
the forward angle. As this is a very
fa.iguing post another bird ere long
takes the place of the exhausted
leader. Thus they place their avail
able strength at the service of the so
ciety. Chicago Herald.

So rapid has been the growth of
the German capital that the mu-
nicipality of Berlin already finds its
spacious town hall inadequate to its
needs, and an adjacent plot of ground
has been purchased at cost Of 5, 600, =
900 marks for the erection of new
Offices. On the other hand the
scheme for laying out aud embelliSh-
ing the surroundings Of the royal
palace has been rejected by the city
elders, and the tone OF various in
splred articles in the semi-Otticial
press proves That considerable annoy
ance is felt in court circles Should
the municipality persist in its pres
ent unfriendly attitude it is plainly
limited that the court will shorten its
annual stay at Berlin, and perhaps
ultimately make POtsdam its perma'
nent residence. Although Of costly
character the palace scheme which
has just been rejected falls very much
short of the more ambitious one
which was originally contemplated by
the Emperor, who has very exalted
views of the requirements Of imperial
state.
