HIT WITH A ROCK.
A One Legged Man Assaulted on First Avenue by an Unknown
 Scoundrel.

L. Goldstein, one-legged Jew, who keeps cheap goods establishment on South Twentieth street, was knocked down by an unknown about 7:25 o'clock last night just Tn front of Roden's wholesale grocery store, on First avenue, between Eighteenth and Min eteenth streets.
 Goldstein and his cousin, New Yorker, were walking up First avenue, and just as they stepped in front of Rodents wholesale house some unknown party ran up behind them and hit MT. Goldstein with heavy stone. The missile was thrown hard and struck just behind the right ear, making a considerable bruise, but not fracturing any bones.
 The force with which the rock was hurled was ao great that Goldstein was knocked down. He fell upon the stump of his left leg and fractured it just above the knee joint.
 Goidstein was carried to drug store near by. where the wound was dressed by Dr. Luckie. He was then carried to his home in Miller & Co. B ambulance.
 Who did the knocking act is not known, but it is supposed to have been done by @ negro who had row with Goldstein in the afternoon. The police are working on the case.

Chinese Learn From Foreigners.

China, so long the most stationary of all countries is decidedly marching on. The Viccroy Lii Hung Chang's Medical school at Tjentsin for the study of the western arts and sciences of healing is al ready in active operation, and 1t is stated by Chinese paper that the army and navy will in future depend upon it for their supplies of medicines as well as for the appointment of efficient medical men for both services.
 The same authority states that the Chi nese druggists are totally ignorant of med ical chemistry All prescriptions arc filled with raw drugs, and the patients take the medicine in dccoctions. Chinese surgery is based upon brass model representing the structure and locality of internal organs in the human body. The model is vague and unfit to be used by students of such an important subject Whereas says tho writer, tho anatomical works of the west are written upon the exact knowl- edgeio of the human body. There are no guessing works done in the west. Every tissue of the body is minutely described and located. "-London News.

Good Razor.

Somebody has an old English razor
some 80 years Of age. 1t does shave-most
razors only pillow. Racers need rest. If
man had 1865 razors, he might shave
without extreme peril for years. There is
a safety razor, ''rather like small now
ing machine. These razors shed more
blood, we think, than the common kind,
but do not deal such desperate wounds.
After using one Of them . man msy'go
over the ground with common razor if
he has the leisure.
with bad razor one should always
shave twice" Seven ages would fail us
to shave in" some amateur will exclaim,
with "reminiscences of Dolores" las to
strops, they all become hacked in a day,
and few can afford a-strop for every day

razor is the way in which we do not strep

It will net do to depend on poor sta-l
BILE manure. That which is made from
straw, turnips and the like is barely
worth the labor of drawing out and
spreading. Indeed if the farmer had to
pay cash for the labor involved he could
do better by going into the market and
purchasing the best commercial fertili-
zers. By such a course he would get
more for his money and reap better re-
suits. And SO horses and cattle fed on
hay alone will never make farm rich.
Their droppings are better than moth
ing and will barely pay the farmer for
his own work if he reckons his time of
little or no account. He who depends
on stable manure should see to it that
he gets good article, and in feeding
for fertilizers as we'll as for beef, NUT
ton and pork, there is reward.
The animal is as powerless to create
plant food as is the compost heap. AS a
matter of fact, all depends upon the food
that is eaten. Rich food fed to horses
or COWS gives rich manure, but no four
footed beast can provide good ferti-
lizer from poor or insufficient food.

There was an ordinance Of the city
which forbade the driving Of horse with
in the city limits at faster pace than
eight mikes IN hour. Brown was horse
fanoier, fond of driving at rapid rate
He had recently gained possession of q colt
of whose performance he was inclined to
brag little. Not much later Brown was
before the local court to answer to the
charge of fast driving. A hneswould have
fattered his vanity and advertised his
horse.
Proof of speed is not easy to establish.
The court called, as an expert in. the case,
Jones, who was himself something Of
jockey. In the course Of this examination
Jones was asked if he saw Brown driving
on the occasion of which complaint was
made. He admitted thefaot, and the court
then wanted his opinion as to the rate Of
speed at which the horse was going
The witness said it was a matter lot
easy to decide, and one ON which no two
persons would be. likely to agree. He
begged to be excused. The court explained
that he would not sbe held responsible for
exactnsss of statement. His best judg-
ment was what was wanted.
Well. your honor" said Jones at last,
that horse was going six miles an hour,
but Brown, who hadn't owned the animal
very long, was going llH miles an hour

G, M. Donnelly Of New Yo1k, who made
an extended stay in the gosdfelds of West
ern Australia, gave an interesting account
of some features of the life in that regoin.
"Gold in that country" he said, sis more
plentiful than water. In going there you
must be prepared not only to get nothing
washed, but newer to even wash yourself
You wear your shirt until you can wear it
no longer, andsshen. you discard II, for an
other. Wasting yourself is MOTTO be
thought of, for you have to buy water,
and even in that way 1t is hard to get
enough for drinking purposes. People
there would consider it almost crime for
q man to use water to bathe In when there
are SO many poor wretohes who are nearly
perishing for drink. The men there look
more like tribe Of red Indians than civ
ilized white men. Speaking about wash
ing makes me think of a curious sight I
saw while there. One morning as 1 was
taking trip up into the hills noticed a
digger, quite nude, standing in his tent
door, and with the utmost gravity brush
ing himself all over with q olothesbrush
He was trying to dust the dirt from his
body, employing the same means that he
would to dust suit Of clothes. "---St.

The Curious Eucalyptus tree.

botanist, who evidently has never
studied his subject. makes the statement
that the eucalyptus tree, to which is now
attributed all sorts of healthgiving proper
ties. is never infested by insects of any
sort, writes naturalist in the Chicago Tri-
bune.
There is no continent on the globe, not
even in the heart of the tropics, where in
sect life is SO prolific as in Australia, to
which country the eucalyptus is Indigenous
The forests are peopled with myriads of
ants of many species. all of Them intoler-
able pests. There are "bull Dogs and
SOLDIERS whose houses vary in size from
two feet by one. to five feet by three. with
the white ant, which is also found in South
Africa, and whose cune-shaped mounds are
five feet or mol in height.
1t cannot be expected that in this sort of
rampant and aall-pervasiye insect life the
eucalyptus escapes. On the contrary. it is
infested with thousands of borers and
beetles. and, as means of self preserva-
ton, nature has provided it with the Curl
Gus facility of shedding its bark annually,
instead of the leaves. In this way it rids it,
self of its enemies. The giant eucalyptus.

Astonished Her EmnIoxer.

The Rev. DR.. Berlc of Boston says that
he had Swedish girl doing homework in
his family, and she announced not long
ago that she wished to return on avisit to
her native land.
"And will you work for me when you
come baoks'' he asked.
The girl did not seem to understand and
said, care you dissatisfied with mes"
''Why, no." replied the clergyman. II
only thought that you. might not want to
come back, and that might have to en-
gage some enc else.''
II have always been taught, was the
reply, "that when . girl goes to work in
a family she is to remain there until she
is married."
"Such.a unique, such an original, char
acter," says Dr.. Berle, in telling the story,

upper stories of the houses in Pompeii
pYotruded above the ashes, showing
where the city lay. Digging in large
scale then took place, and building
material and valuable. objects were car
ried away. All the marble, except very
few fragments, was removed in ancient
times. Later on the remaining upper
stories of the houses were destroyed by
time, as very little of them has been
found. In IS A. d. most of the inhabi-

uaAeutttlOu anu III Lie covering IOr the
head. 1t consists in both cases of blouse
coming down to the hips, which with the
men has hood to cover the head, while
with the women there is no hood. but full
est opportunity is left to display the curious
knot of hair which is tied up in a roll upon
the top, and ornamented with various
colored ribbons to indicate their condition
The maidens wear red ribbons. the natrons
blue. and the widows black. The lack of
hood for the head also affords the women
better opportunity to provide, in a pouch
over the shoulders, comfortable place
for the small children. Below the blouse is
short pair of sealskins boots. In the case
of the women these are highly ornamented
with different stripes of color, and frequent
ly broad necklace of colored beads adds to
the activeness of their appearance.
Altogether. with their smiling faces and
modest demeanor, the Christian Eskimo
women in their native dress present very
attractive appearances; while the houses OF
the settlement, though made after the same
pattern of the original ihloo. are il this
metropolis considerably more ample than
those in back settlements. Still they were
all igloos, arranged in their interior after
the manner of the one described at Ikamiut.
