Legends of Race Color.

The color of the skin in the various
races of man has never as yet been
scientifically accounted for, although
numerous NEUROLOGICAL stories have
been told and senseless theories ad-
vanced as reasons for the remarka BILE
variations in hue Nor have we any
certain data concerning the color OF
the cuticle of the primeval man, the
original lord of creation" A pretty
African legend is that he was as black
as the proverbial ace of spades and
that the present pale color of the Can
casian race is the result of the scare
God gave Adam at the time Of the fall
1t is proper TO state here that the
same legend says that the present
black race are descendants OF one of
Adams sons that was born and Jeff
Eden before the great change in color
overlook our first parent The Chi
nese believe that the origi al man was
a creature half God and ha man. and
that his color came a bout as q result
of bathing in river of liquid gold
The Mussulmans. the American In
dams and several oriental tribes and
nations account for their prevailing
red or copper color by telling the story
of the Great Being creating the first
pair from red kaolin, the common fire

EXTREME QUIET IN LIVE Stock.

CHICAGO, Feb. 20.-There was extreme quiet
In today's cattle market; not unusual con-
dition for Tuesday. Shippers did not want
many cattle, and the offerings though limited,
We're quite equal to the needs of local trade.
In values there was no noteworthy change.
While the tone of the market was very far from
being firm yesterdays prices were pretty gener-
ally obtained both for shipping grades and for
such descriptions as are used by local operators.
The quality of receipts did not average any
better than for Monday, and prices below 81 %
took almost the entire supply. There was a
fair sprinkling of Texas cattle, and they We're
also taken at full price.
The trend of the hog market was downward.
lr showed loss of 10 cents at the very outset,
and the later market was not a whit better so
far as prices went, though at the close the feel
ing seemed to be trife less weak. The choicest
of offerings went at s. 10, and S. 10 bought
almost the entire outfit. The range of sales
was unusually narrow, 10 cents per 100 pounds
practically covering it Shippers, though not
as busy Monday. took fair share of the
offerings, paying s. 05@5 10 for the bulk of their
purchases. The receipts were estimated at
23.00o, making 5000 since Saturday, or $1,000
more than for the same time last week.
With offerings of nearly 10000 head within
the last two days, the sheep market has fiatten-
ed out badly. 1t has declined 20G3O cents of
which loss 1O@15 cents came off today. Yester-
days arrivals footed up 25,37S head. which is
the second largest number ever recorded for one
day, and the total for the last two DAYS has
never been equalled more than once or twice.
Buyers filed their orders at 81 50J3 - for poor
to choice sheep and at s. 00di y for lambs
There were scattering sales of fancy, quoted at
slightly higher figures than the above. but most
of sheep sold below s. Is, and from s. 5C6l IL
bought the bulk of lambs.
Receipts-Cattle, 3,400; calves, 400; hogs, 23,-

CUT THIS OUT.
ORIGIN OF HOSPITALS.
The Work Of a King in the Third Century
Before Christ.

The Work of a King in the Third Century
Before Christ.
Hospitals, as we now understand the
term, are of modern growth, says the
Quarterly Review. True it is, as Mr..
tion of Hospitals and Asylums of the
World that in the records of Egypt
and ancient India we find illusions TO
institutions that foreshadow the hos
pitfalls of latter times, and even our
asylums for sick animals are borrowed
from the east.
An inscription engraved on a rock
near the city of Surat tells how Asoka,
king who reigned in Gujerat in the
third century B. c., commanded the es-
tablishment of hospitals in all his do
minions and placed one at each of tho
four gates of the royal city of Patna.
Six hundred years after this Fa Hian,
an intelligent Chinese traveller, who
visited India in 800 A. D., records that
Asoka's hospitals still existed and
f1ourished, but the successive floods of
conquest swept all away, and by the
beginning of this century only hos
pital for animals remained of all the
pious kings foundations.
Ancient Egyptian records are more
vague in the illusions to the treatment
of the sick, but it seems likely, from a
legend which is given in the ''Papyrus
Ebers," that clinic existed in connec-
tion with the Temple of Heliopolis. 1t
is equally probale that, if the history
of the temples of Esculapius could be
unveiled, we should find that in them
also hospital supplemented the
shrine, and that the sick who offered
sacrifices there found something more
than faith healing" within their
walls. But from none of these are our
hospitals derived; they were destroyed
or forgotten in the barbarian con-
quests, and so utter is the oblivion
into which they fell that it is now an
article of the popular creed that it is
to Christianity we owe the first idea of
care for the sick and afflicted.

SHORT BUT QUEER RAILROAD.

Six Feat In a Hundred.

Six Feet in a Hundred.
/ California has a railroad so unique
that the most expert railroad man" in
| the world would be una BILE to name it
should he accidentally happen upon it
at time when the cars and engine
were not in sight. The word ''engine"
is used advisedly, for, according to the
St. Louis Republic, there is no danger
of encountering more than one piece
of machinery of that class upon this
extraordinary "thoroughfare, and
should you come in contact with the
entire force of men with which the
road is equipped you could count the en-
tire gang" on the fingers of one hand.
This west coast curiosity lies in, or
rather runs up and down, portion of
San Benito county, extending from
Burt's lime kiln to Tres Pines, in what
is known as the Gavilan range. The
road is of the bicycle" or siugle track
variety, the engines and cars sitting
very low upon the rail. The rail is OF
the slot pattern, not unlike that seen
on cable railways, the wheels of both
the engine and the cars having a
tongue of steel which works in the
groove. In addition to this each wheel
has a 1ange on both sides, and, the
whole track being Of but one rail. the
wheels are, in reality, tongued rollers
with flangelike projections on each end.
Every wheel in the whole outfit belong
ing to this curious railroad is thus pro-
vided with four bearings, which pre-
vent it from jumping the track on any
of othe numerous short curves. At
last accounts there were but nine
miles of road operated by this ''sys-
tenn" When completed it will be four
teen miles from one terminal station
to the other. In one place there is an
eight hundred foot grade, mounted at
the rate of six feet to the one hundred.
and on another section of the road
there is grade between quarter and
q half mile in length in which the
average ascent is fonr feet to each one
hundred feet of track.

AN ELECTRIC CAR YARN.

How . Compiacent Citizen Had His Quiet
joke on the Fresh Conductor.
The platform of the electric car was
pretty well taken up by the driver, a
man of the ''slugger" variety and big
bag, over which the man of the slug
ger" type appeared to be standing
guard. When the conductor came to
collect the fares he looked sharply at
the bag. and then said to the tough:
III have ter charge yer fer that
bag"
I'll bet yer won't answered the
man, looking argrily at him, as if any
attempt at collection would produce a
prize fight.
Yes, l will; an if yer don't pay, I'll
put ther bag off. See?" said the con-
ductor, shortly. He gave the man FIVE
minutes more. asked him second and
third time. then stopped the car and
put the bag off on the sidewalk. The
'slugger" didn't even move, and when
the car had gone about mile further
the conductor said to him:
Yer don't care much fer that bag il
gou wouldn't pay FIVE cents fer it
"Ah. come off, was the reply

LEASING "A WIFE.

England.
Taking wife as one does house
on lease has actually been done more
than once in England. A Birmingham

method to be taken to get a wife upon
lease or whether such connections are
sanctioned by law; but there is an emf

wife's sister upon lease for ninety
years and upward, and l know she

The aggregate of transactions did not reach a

sional small bear raid, the short interest did
not attempt to seriously depress prices. 1t was

held about steady. Then General Electric took

Western, preferred, had broken Ia per cent and
Lead, preferred. had advanced II per cent.
Reactions of fraction took place in few

was gradual appreciation in values to the
close, the last prices made being 1s@ Z per cent
above yesterdays figures for the active list, 1

for Delaware, Lackawanna and western. Sugar
made an advance of q per cent in the early
trading, and receded = per cent Immediately on
selling, chiefly on Washington orders. Reports
coming that the senate tariff bill would give Il

effected during the afternoon, of which u per
cent was lost at the close. The grangers were
strongly held all day, and recorded advances of

being due to an advance in the price of wheat.
The bond market was generally firm.
