ECCENTRICITiES OF GENIUS.
Queer Doings and Ideas Of Some Of the
World'a Greafesf Men and Wnmen

Queer Doings and Ideas Of Some Of the
Worlds Greatest Men and Women.
We often hear people Offering objec-
lions to certain of their acquaintance
because they are queer" Eccentric
ity, however, is oftener allied to genius
than not, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch.
Among the musicians there have been
found some of the most whimsical Of
men.
Haydn could not compose satisfac-
torily to himself without first having
put on his best suit of clothes and DOW
dered his hair. Nor could he get his
ideas in form until he had placed upon
his finger diamond ring presented to
him by Frederick II. Another COM
poser, Sacchini by name, declared that
he never had any moments of inspira.

were sitting upon his shoulders. In
ether lines than music we find that
Tycho de Brahe, the celebrated astron.
omer Of the sixteenth century, dropped
to the ground whenever he caught sight
OF hare or fox. Ladislaus, king OF
Poland, took to fight as soon as he saw
an apple. Henry I'LL, king of Eng
land, could not bear to be in q room
where there was a cat, even though he
might not see it. Erasmus, of Rotter.
dam, one of the most enlightened men
of the period, was thrown into a feve,
at the sight of fish. Bacon, the great
English chancellor, tainted while gag
ing at an eclipse of the moon. John
H., grand duke of Moscow, fell into q
swoon at the sight of a woman-surely
the strangest popularity ever noticed
in a man.
Chevalier de Guise was similarly
affected by the sight of a rose, ever
without smelling its fragrance. Maria
de Medici, the wife of Louis XII, fond
as she was of flowers, generally speak
ing, could not disguise her repugnance
TO roses, even painted ones.

CRUEL SPORT IN CHILL.
"Barro." the Dangerous National Pastime,
In Which Fine HOraemen Participate.

In Which Fine HOrsemen Participate.
The national pastime Of Chilli is the
"barro," which is played by the huas-
cos, or Gillian horsemen. who are
splendid riders. At every waysidc
drinking shop there is a range of posts
supporting a long rail, to which the
horses are tethered. Whenever few
huascos meet a wager for drinks is
sure to be put up. Then sides are
chosen, and the leaders first take their
places on horseback side by side, each
with his horses chest close up to the
bar. The others mount and range
themselves on each side in the same
position. Then the game begins. The
object of each side, according to Lon
don It'd Bits, is to force its way along
to the further end Of the bar against
the opposition Of the other party.
Each closes sideways with all his
might and digs his huge rowels into
his horses sides to keep his chest close
to the bar until they drop blood and
the cruel bits are jerked viciously.
Yells of excitement and rage break
from the players as the pressure in
creases, and their legs are crushed be-
tween the horses. The spectators are
equally excited. Even the horses seem
to take an intelligent part in the strug-
gle, and q wel-trained mount will
frequently GUST & rival from his place.
Progress along the bar is, however,
very slow, and when there are as many
as thirty or forty picked players a side
q whole day may be spent without the
contest being decided. Horses and
men both suffer severely, legs are
crushed and broken, and at the end Of
the struggle the riders have to be
helped from their saddles, and their
clothing has often to be cut from the
swollen flesh. Unless q limb be bro
ken, the tough horseman is little
worse. A day or two on his back and
pure olive oil restore him to strength
and suppleness.

his burden he glances at the editors

Old Shasta Joe came down from the

TYPICAL AMERICAN STUDENTS,

Two UnldeallSed Statues ON Exhibition in
BOston-The Dimensions Of Each.
Two interesting statues, the result
OF much hard work, were put ON ex-
hibition in Boston recently. One was
that Of q young man and the other that
of q girl. They were designed to
represent the American college stu
dent, not the ideal American student
OF either sex, but the actual, typical
student, the measurements used hav-
Ing been the average, or mean, Of de-
velopment Of students from various
parts Of the country. The statues are
described by the Rochester Post and
Express Is representing fairly well
built young persons, symmetrically de,
veloped, and without serious physical
defects" The figures have an easy
pose, standing firmly and gracefully.
The faces, which were modelled after
composite photographs made from the
students from whom the measurements
were taken, are handsome and thought
full, with q marked air of refinement.
The face Of the young man is the hand
somer OF the two, but that of the
young woman is nearest the classic
standard. In the formers figure there
are some marked departures from the
standard. The hands and knees are
large, while the wrists are small. The
height of the male is five feet eight
inches and of the female five feet three
inches. The male represents q weight
of one hundred and thirty-eight and
one-half pounds and the female one
hundred and fifteen pounds. Each
figure represents measurements taken
from forty-two leading parts of the
body and these show the average de.
velopment of each sex at the age OF
twenty-one years. It is worthy of mote
that the typical American student has
better physical development than
that of the British or German, as il
shown by comparison with measure.

Two Kinds OF Tempest,

An original feature was introduced
into the performance Of Shakespeare's
Tempest" in French provincial town
recently. The actual tempest was pro-
duced by fifteen men hiding under the
green cloth which served as the surface
OF the sea and produced the swelling
OF old ocean by bobbing up and down.
On account Of falling of in the box
Office receipts the manager lowered the
mems wages, whereat they decided to
strike. Next evening when the wind
howled over the stage and hailstones
made of beans fell on the boards the
green sea remained sullenly silent.
''Swen and roar at once!" the director
cried in despair. "If you promise to
to give us eighty centilnes instead Of
fifty We will" mo; sixty; not . sou
more" The audience shouted with
laughter; the sea remained calm.
Seventy centimes?" 1--WE said eighty"
And eighty it had to be. Then there
began q roaring and swelling Of the
ocean which for vigor had never been
equaled. The result was that suddenly
the green cloth burst and the heads Of
the fifteen appeared ON the stage, to
the uproarious delight Of the house.
The theater paid" after this.
