rial fever, and since then his eyes are so weak

Chicago Is reported as carrying as many as
10000 cases of cold storage eggs this year,
and New York is almost equally loaded
Many eggs have been put into cold storage,
not as a matter Of speculation, but simply to
save many country merchants the loss that
they would otherwise suffer should their
goods on arrival here be at once put on a
glutted market.
President Tyler's favorite son, who was his
fathers confidential secretary, and lived in
the white house during his administration,
has been resident of Georgetown for many
years. In 1887 he was stricken with paraly-
sis, and since then he has been physically
helpless. Mr. Tyler is now IS years old.
He was a good soldier in the confederate
army, warm friend of Gen. Grant, who gave
! him federal position. and in Virginia his

A baseball crank in New York is the driver
of a street car which passes in its regular
trips a newspaper bulletin board on Park
Row. So frequently has the driver stopped
| in his eagerness to get the latest base4 all
| news from the bulletin board, that his horses
| have learned to know the spot. and now they
stop of their own accord. says the New Y ork
Morning Advertiser: The driver always
| fingers as long as he can for fresh bulletin.
and his horses know by the way in which he
starts them whether New Hork is winning or
| losing. He is surly and apt to use the whip
when the other teams ahead and as pleasant
as flirting girl when the Giants win"
Judge Henry L. Edmunds Of the ST. Louis
criminal court said the other day: Il believe
that the criminal career stops at about the
age of p years. That is believe that in nine
ty-nine cases out of 100, older. criminals have
| for two good reasons lost the temptation to
commit crime which beset them in the tegin-
ming. One reason is that by the time they
are p years old, having begun their career,
say at Is years of age, they have been de-
tected, arrested and punished several times.

An English sculptor has been interviewed
about women arms, and admits much diff
Guilty in securing a perfect model. He sums
up the points of such an arm as follows: The
arm should be fully two heads long from its
insertion at the shoulder to the wrist the
upper arm large and round; dimpled elbow
the fore arm not too fiat: the whole diminish
ing in long, graceful curves to a wellrounded
wrist. A womanS ann is rounder and ia oeIS
| more gracefully than man s, owing to the
deltoid muscle coming lower down the arm,
and all the muscles having longer and more
gradual curve And he says further that
women should know how to move their arms.
There is as much power of expression in
the arm as in the face. Sarah Bernhardt Is
only one of the many instances. especially
among the French, Italian and Spanish
women. Her arms are certainly not things
OF beauty on account OF their shape; but they
are decidedly so in their movements. She
knows how to manage them, and the result is
charming.
Louis C. Elson, the musical critic in a
lecture the other day said that Yankee Doc
die was suggested by the motley appearance
of the coonial.troops when they mustered for
the Indian wars IN 1855, says the New York
Tribune. An English wit composed il, and in
the slang Of that day, doodle" meant a sim
pleton, and "macaroni,' a dude. Mr.. Elson
said that Yankee Doodle" was the begin
ming and end OF the revolutionary war for at
Lexington the British played it in derision,
and at the surrender OF CORVALLIS the Ameri-
cans payed 1t back with interest, making the
British prisoners march by the same tune.
At the present time Europe regards Hail Co.
lumbla' as our national anthem. and the first
edition Of this song was shown by Mr. Elson in
illustrating the crude harmonieS with which
1t was torn. The tune had existed for some
time as march, but was first sung in PhiJa-
delphia by an actor, named Fox, at his enc
mt. The audience went wild over it, and it
was encored eight times Mr.. Elson attri-
buted the origin of the music of " he Star
Spangleu Banner to an English drinking
song, written in l770

little. 1t is the sunlight that does the bust
ness, though. OF course the winds and rains
assist 1t. Whenever the suns rays strike
a painted surface in the middle of the day
the life OF the paint is very soon destroyed
and it crumbles away. We house painters
always find the south side Of a building in the
worst condition, and the north side the least
worn The west side. receiving as it does the
force of the dry winds, is always more worn
than the east side. Another point may be

Men in New York do not drink so much as
