Two years ago the managers Of
the daily papers of Denver rushed
iuto a foolish and senseless war for
business, which ended in cutting
tie subscription rates Of oil the
papers to SO low a figure as 70 alb
solutely cause a heavy loss to all of
them. It is impossible to publish
a live, aggressive daily paper sew
en- days in a week aud furnish it
subscribers at fifty and sixty cents
per month unless n circulation Of
from sixty to seyenty-fve thousand
copies can be secured. Such a circu-
%lation for the Denver dallies is inn
possible until the population Of
the city and state shall reach dou-
BILE what it is now. AL newspa-
per men knew the heavy losses
would, in time, drive the owners of
the four papers to act as business
men should, and put their proper
ties on a paying basis. Hundreds
of thousands Of dollars have been
sunk in this war. The new rates
established are about 25 per cent
lower than those that prevailed be-
fore the cut, and but a small per
centsge above those now prevail
ing, yet enough 20 save all from
actual loss. There is nothing that
Will make business men stop a ru-
nous fight so much as the ap-
proach Of financial disaster.
The rates by mail adopted by
the three papers are as follows.
News and Republican, $3.50 per
year; S3.75 for six months; S1.9C
for three months; one month.
sixty-fve cents. The Times, So

A ROACH IN HIS HEAD.

II Crawled INTO the Mans Ear, Ate It's Way
Through the Drum and Raised a Family.
A man with a nest of oockroaches in
his head presented himself at the Elmer
gency hospital In Washington recently.
Stories have often been told Of snakes
and frogs in human stomechs. An in
stance in regard to the habits Of animals
which Is even moro peculiar came to
light about a week ago. Cases have often
been noticed where bugs have entered
the ear and caused excruciating pain by
eating tho delicate membranes and It's
sues of tho inner car before they could
be driven out. But this is the first case
where a roach was permitted to remain
in the ear long enough to lay its eggs
and hatch its young.
George Woods, who was the patient,
a young man of about 30, is employed
on an oyster boat. Like many other
boats, this one was infested with big
black coolroaohes One night while
Woods was asleep a roach cropt into his
ear and lodged itself just far enough in
side to be out Of reach. Woods felt II

it to remain, thinking her roachship
would tire Of her quarters and move out
But the roach, either because it got in
head first and could not turn around
and get out, or because it found tho &C
ccmmodations exceedingly comfortable,
instead of getting out proceeded to make
its nest right there in the mans ear.
Finally 1t started to tunnel through the
head AS it afterward was shown on in
v~estigation, the roach had eaten its way
through the channel to the tympanum
and through the drum itself Here, it
seems, it gave up Investigations and
from some or other died. When
Wood found that he was deaf in the
right ear, he thought no had better have
the matter looked into, so he took adj
vantage of his boat being ia Washing
ton to visit the hospital. When Dr..

had failed to hatch were removed

Foot NiruiuN NMfcunla OF NNo NNiNnAts
Il is not certainly known how the
Chinese custom Of binding the feet
of women had It's origin. One &C
count ia to the effect that &c arose
during tho reign Of an empress who
had club feet, and that foolish moth
ers deformed the feet Of their little
girls in servile imitation Of the mis-
fortunes of royalty. Other Chinese
writer's assert that the breaking and
binding Of tho feet Of girl babies
gradually became the custom because
of the gveat admiration all cla5ses in
the Howery Kingdom have for deli
cate pedal extremities.
In a valuable reference work en-.
titled Notes and Queries or China
and japan" I End the following: 1T
is recorded thai Han-C Chez of the Chin
dynasty, In the year which CORE
spends TO 5s3 A. D., ordered the EN-.
prees lady Yao to bind her feet 80
as to make them look like the new
moon, and that the evil fashion has
since prevailed against all subsequent
prohibitions Of the custom" What.
ever its origin, the adoption Of the
custom may be said to have been
gradual and to have come into gen
eral use in spite Of much objection

A City Of Chatter and Shouting and Braying
Of DonlSeys.
Naples IS a noisy city, not with the
heavy rumble Of Broadway, but the
cletter Of light vehicles and the pat
ter of little feet of horses and don
keys. The shout ''oh-a-a-a-a' Of
drivers rings through the streets like
the cry of an avenging demon, and
the necessarily cracking whips sound
like the Fourth of July. Everybody
talks loud and on a high key as
though in g war of words. Vendors
hawk their wares with a yell which,
though in musical tones, is piercing.
One exception to the general noise
is in the BARRIERS shop, where a half
dozen men work in solemn silence,
not discussing weather, politics or
scandal with their victims. 1t seemed
unnatural and grewsome. 1 have
heard only one hand organ, and that
was an antique. Probably the others
have emigrated to America. One un-
usual noise will attract attention. l

only a funeral, and the white clothed

their masks, come round a corner
with the painted or embroidered cat
afalque on their shoulders, preceded
by the priests and acolytes.
Above all noises the donkey's fire.

used to it. 1t always sounds like
something else. In church one Sun

dear little donkeysl If they get any
comfort out of their braying, they are
welcome to it, for it is about all the
comfort they have. When one sees
a little fellow, the size of q calf, pull
ing a good load Of furniture and a
lazy master on a big two wheeled
cart, or nine heavy trunks and two
men, or another with paniers and a
boy twisting his tail, it seems like a
very human voice of patient woe and
rebuke that comes out in that bray.
I do not see what Naples could do
without those nimble little feet trot-
ting up and down her hills. The
donkey's foot is carved on the handle
of her souvenir spoons as a token of

Very careful observations have
been made from time to time with a
view to ascertaining the height Of
shooting stars above the earth at
their appearance and disappearance.
Perhaps the most successful attempt
Of this kind was that made in this
country on the occasion Of the mete-
oric shower in November, 1867. The
lightninglike rapidity with which
the meteors darted through their
course rendered it impossible to OBJ
serve them with astronomical pre-
cision, but the general conclusion ar
rived atwas that they were first seen
at an average height of as miles.
There was no positive evidence that
any meteor commenced at a height
much greater than 100 miles. Brook
