Had No Eyes, but He "SaW.'

II should llke to have the key of the unoccupied house. - Wharton street, !" requested well dressed man as he en- tered the office of down town real es- tate agent.
 "Yes, sir" and the key was handed over. As the caller departed it was noticed that he kept prodding the floor with his cane as he walked. But his gait was almost as brisk and as straight as though he had no affliction what ever. This was remarked as he left the office.
 He returned half hour later with a step as quick as ever and with business in every motion. II like the house, he said, as he handed over the key, "but there is considerable repairing to be done. The paint should be renewed. The front bedroom and dining room are sadly in need of repapering," and so he went on until he had enumerated half dozen things that were necessary to be done.
 It afterward transpired that he had acquired all his knowledge simply by the sense of touch. His examination had been as thorough as though he had had the use of two good eyes. It was really a remarkable performance.- Philadelphia Call.

LANE DIECLAFOY


 tie and coat and vest and trousers just like man, and has thrown off forever, she says, ''the tyranny of skirts" Her soul fairly pants for trousers, and now that she is wearing them she is perfectly happy. "They make possible one life where now are two lives," she says, and she proves her statement by sharing the pursuits of her husband.
 She has no use for divided skirts and other compromises, she says, because they are unusual and cause woman to be annoyed by street gamins. "As for myself, attired as am in regulation everyday male costume, go everywhere without attracting attention" She would hardly meet such fate in America. Dr. Mary Walker is frequently guyed un- mercifully when she ventures forth in male attire. A short time ago girl bl- cyclist in knickerbockers while crossing City Hall park, New York, found mob of street urchins at her heels before she had gone a rod. Still more recently a woman dressed in mems clothes attended the Corbett- Mitchell prize fight. She was attired about the same as the men pres ent. but she had not been seated five minutes before every man i'll the brg arena had discovered the counterfeit, and their comments made the woman wish that she were back in conventional petticoats again.
 Mime. Dieulafoy has been addicted to the trousers habit for nearly a quarter of century. Away back in 1870 she donned knickerbockers and followed her husband to the war. Then she accom- panied her husband in an exploring ex- pedition to Persia and went wherever he went. She also wears her mafe costume on the street in Paris and in society.

THE PACE THAT KILLS.
Billy Madden Explains Why
 Great Boxers Die Young.
GOOD FELLOWSHIP FILLS GRAVES.

Ehe Vanquished Live Longer Than the
 Lioni2ed Victors-IIow Drinking Water
 Killed One Fighter-Chnmpion Corbett
 Seems Careful of His Health and Money.
 Great athletes as a rule seldom live to an advanced age. The majority of them die in middle life, when by right they should be at the zenith of their powers. Consump- tion kidney or liver troubles and pneumO- nia are the diseases which generally take them off This is due for the most part not to the rigorous training and arduous trials they undergo, but to the eXcesses they consistently indulge ill after success has been attained.
 The victors rather than the losers in any branch of manly sport first enter the deep, dark valley. They can always command the good things of life, { nd as they believe that "one cannot have too much of a good thing" they play the game for all it is worth. The inevitable of course, is bound to happen. Human beings are not human engines and the pace they travel at soon kills.
 The loser on the other hand, be he boxer oarsman, pedestrian, wrestler or all around athlete, quickly finds that his occupation is gone after victory has perched on the other fellow s standard, ana ne SIrdlSSnUWdy seeks another vocation in life. He has not the wherewith to engage in any of the vari- ous forms of dissipation which this age of luxury can suggest, and he brings to his new calling that rugged health and that strength of will which benefcent Creator has endowed him with. If he does not prove business success, he at least retains his physical well being and is usually happy and contented if not prosperous in dividual when summoned to the other shore at a ripe old age.
 With boxers this rules applies with es peCial force. A successful champion be- comes at once the idol of the public and is made the recipient of social attentions which, were he a Hercules or a Samson, must ill course of time undermine his con- stitution. A notable case in point is John l.. Sullivan, whom had the good fortune to bring out a dozen years or more ago aud put on the road to become a champion of champions When 1 first met him. he was as fine specimen of an athlete as ever be held.

 They contins.ed conversing with con siderable animation being free with their gestures and apparently deeply interested in what each was saying.
 If I only understood HindoOstani," thought Manson, II might be able to pick upa a valuable pointer or two. for they must feel free to talk their lingo before any people besides their own"
 Suddenly they rose, and one of them said to the landlord in fair English:
 We go to bed, please"
 All right" he replied. with yawn, glad to find that he was about to gain the sleep for which he was ycarning. I'll ha back with you in minute" he added, addressing Manson, who nodded and said he was ready also to retire.
 At tine time of writing his name on tine well tlumbed book of the hotel Manson noticed the two signatures of the natives. which were simply "Wichman" and "Lugro," so that it may be said their identification was complete.
 Nothing was to be gained by question ing the host, who not only was sleepy, but was stupid. So he followed him up stairs behind his talloNr candle and along the uncarpetcd hail.
 Your room is ne,;. to them chaps" said the landlord as h. turned about to leave. but guess they ain't dangerous"
 II have no fears" replied Manson, closing the door, locking anl boiling it.
 Now that he was alone, however, he naturally asked hims,lf whether it was possible to make any Use of what. under other circumstances, would clearly have been an advantage.
 If they would only talk in English he muttercd as he heard the hum of their voices, Il could catch something possi- bly worth knowing, but as it is 1 might as well be q mile away from them."
 The professional instinct led him soft ly to unfastcn his door and to thrust out his head, with his ear close to the next door,
 As he did so thrill passed through him. Wichman and Lugro were con versing in English.

 This amazing conversation now ceased. For several minutes only q word or two was uttered, and then it was in their na- tive tongue.
 But the listening Max Manson had al ready caught a new sound. It was such as would have been made by a man cut ting an opening in the wooden surbase of his room with a keen edged knife.
 He was confident he knew what the sound meant.

Chief Justice Jeremiah Black of Penn sylvania, ill reviewing a case which came up from the court of his old friend, Judge Moses Hampton, remarked that "surely Moses must have been wandering in the wilderness when he made his decision'' and sent the case back to the lower court. Judge Hampton, on his second trial, took occasion to remark that, al though he would have to submit to the higher authority, yet he still thought he was right, ''in spite of the Lamentations of Jeremiah"

Butter worth, the Hale fullback, said after the Springfield game that he found the slippery leather aided him in diving through the Harvard players. It is argued that if the upper section is made of moleskin this ob- jection will Dc largely corrected, and, on the other hand. the slippery leather brooches will prevent player from being easily tackled
