 HIPPOpH1yY IN GHICAGO.

Although horseflesh in disguise may
 have been eaten in this country for some time the first open and deliberate experiment in hippophagy is now going on. And, rather appropriately, 1t is going on in Chicago. The contractors
 who furnish the labor on the great
 drainage canal there have been found to be feeding their men with horse
 meat This meat Is found by the health authorities to have come from broken down horses, unfit for further labor, and purchasable by those en-
 gagged in the traffic at from $1.50 to $2 per horse. Canned beef, which the big packing houses of Chicago would sell to these contractors in wholesale lots at from six to nine cents per pound, cannot enter into competition with the
 horsefesh furnished. The laborers who
 purchase it themselves do not pay over four cents a pound, and contractor agreeing to use several thousand
 pounds month would not have to pay over two and one-half cents or three cents per pound. The health authori-
 ties declare their purpose to stop this
 business, but it is not clear how they
 can do this unless the horseflesh is found to be unhealthful.

MORE scARhD rHAN HuRr.

The bicycle affects many industries, including the industry of horse-stealing, as we noticed the other day. But some stories are told of the changes it is mak- ing which are hardly consistent with
 the facts. The United States Tobacco Journal sets up a special wall on ac- count of the influence of the bicycle
 upon the tobacco trade. Hear 1t: We
 do not exag ggerate the least. The bike
 craze has infatuated, erslavcd, at the
 least calculation, 5O0,000 males who were formerly addicted to the smoking habit
 If these 500,o00 male slaves to the bike
 craze have weaned themselves to smok-
 ing only two cigars less a day-this
 must be considered a most moderate
 calculation, as the bikeist hardly ever
 worstips less than four or six hours at
 the shrine of his wheel-then the con- sumption of cigars is decreasing at the
 rate of 100000 per day and 7Oo,ooo0oo in year. And the decrease in our cigar production since the bike craze has set in has actually been 700, 100000 per year!
 A paper that is so overcome with grief and terror as to use the word ''bikeist'' is in "a sad condition and needs some encouragement if there is any for it.
 In this case there is some. A decrease of one million a day means a falling off | in the sale of cigars of three hundred and sixty-five millions a year, which would be serious damage to the busi- ness if the facts agreed with the figures. | Such. however, is not the case. Records of the commissioner of internal revenue show that during the fiscal year just ended 4,1SO, ,44O,S70 cigars were manufac- tured in this country, against 4,066, ,97,- 432 in the previous year. This increase
 of 63, 522, ,93S cigars in one year does not show that smokers have foregone their 1 indulgence in the narcotic weed to any great extent. It is worthy of note, too, that 8 prominent cigar manufacturer | has just announced that he has bought 1000 bicycles which he proposes to give
 away, one with each 5000 cigars which | he shall sell.
 1 So the Tobacco Journal has bitten off more than it can chew. If it will put the facts in its pipe and smoke them it will find some consolation.

How to Preserve the Figure. From the New York Ledger 1

There are number of disadvantages which befall her who loses in middle life the 1.-the, agile, symmetrical figure of early womanhood. One of these Is very patent to the eye of the observer, who sees curve in the wrong place as the eye follows what should be a straight line from the bust to the floor But greater than the consciousness of visible loss in symmetry Is the grow | ing sense of clumsiness and helpness- ness that creeps over one as the accu-
 mutation of adipose, instead of being uniformly distributed over the body, piles up In the abdomen. The course of gravity is thrown from its normal position. Lightness on the feet be- comes a thing of the past, and an in- ertness and dsclination to moving about increases constantly, and makes the trouble grow by what it feeds up- on. The remedy for this state of things l Is within the reach of every one who has time and resolution to spend ten
 or fifteen minutes every day in certain
  and which require absolutely nothing else but time and persistence.
 The best time for taking these ex- ercises is in the morning. immediately after leaving ones bed, and before any
 garments that compress the figure in any way are put on. The air of the room should be pure and sweet, so that the lungs may be benefited no less than the abdominal muscles ana
 the blood be purified.
 1. Draw in the abdomen as far as possible, fill the lungs with air, and then raise the arms above the head till the hands meet, without moving or bending the knees; bend the body as far back as possible, and then, allowing the air to escape from the lungs grad ually, bend the body as far forward as possible until the hands approach | the floor.

GIRL WITH 4 BROTHER.
She Has No Cherished Ideals to Have Spoiled in the Honeymoon.

She Has No Cherished Ideals to Have
 Spoiled in the Honeymoon.
 From the Queen.l
 The girl who has grown up among girls alone, who has had no brothers and-terrible loss of a delightful inti- macy-no brothers friends Is very sin cerely to be pitied Her mind in this case may be wholly feminine; in it there is no touch of comprehension of the masculine. Yet she may marry and have to learn by experience what she might have known by kind of in- stinct-that men are not the same as women. It is impossible for man to realize how deeply wounded such a girl may be before she learns to accept facts as they are. Before the honey moon is over she discovers what she considers an unaccountable want of sympathy on the part of her husband. In all matters relating to herself he is still genuinely interested, but the home letters seem to bore him, or he shows frankly that he is only interested in them because she is reading them aloud to him. He forgets things she tells him about her friends, and is cu- riously inattentive to details. He even leaves the little pin that she bought as surprise for him lying carelessly about, and when she makes him up a flower for his button-hole laughs and asks her if she wants to make him look like 'Arry out for holiday. She discovers that one of the silk handker- chiefs which she herself embroidered with his initials has been used to clean

The rate of flight of the carrier-pigeon has almost equalled in interest as a sci entific topic the question of the "sense of direction" of this and other birds, whereby they are enabled to fly over huge tracts with an instinct of unerring kind guiding them to their own place. Lately great pigeon-flight was organ ized in France. the Elffel tower being selected as the point of departure, The pigeons were drawn not only from dis tant parts of France, but also from Bel glum. The time of flight and the time of arrival at home were duly noted. with certain interesting results regard ing the rate of progression. Thus one pigeon flew 9S1h miles, we are told, at the rate of 47 miles per hour. This was high rate and may be classified with a flight of 264 miles at 4S miles an hour. The account adds, however, that these rates are low when compared with the records of previous flights. Thus, dis tance of 600 miles has been covered by pigeon In twelve hours. From Blois to Dion is distance of 290 miles, and this has been accomplished by pigeon in 4 hours and 46 minutes. Higher rates than even 60 miles an hour are said to have been chronicled.

Alma Tadema, in awarding the prizes at the National Art Training School lately, spoke as follows of the influence on artists of their daily sur roundings: When Whistler painted the whole of his dining room canary vel low and had carpets and furniture to match, the yellow in which he moved must have had a great influence on his eye. When I found that the black Pompeiian decorations of my early Ant werp studio made me paint my pie lures too heavy, had my next studio painted red. Then they got too hot So, arriving in Brussels, I painted my studio light green, and in London my first studio was blue and green. The influence of all that was such that you can classify my pictures by the influence produced by the surroundings.

Bishop John McKim, of Japan, who is now in Chicago, thinks the war Will be of great benefit to the missions. ''There were six native Christian ministers who received commissions as chaplains in the army" he says, "and Shinto priests asking the same privilege were refused. The Japanese minister of war gave per- mission to every missionary to visit the garrisons, preach and distribute tracts and portions of Scripture. This we be- lieve to be the result of the impression made by the Christian soldiers in the Japanese army" Shintoism is a purely Japanese religion, found nowhere else.

The observatory on the top of Mount Blac, whose erection is conducted under the supervision of the famous French astronomer M. Jansen, it is expected, will be finished in the course of the present summer.

M
 Maurice de Thierrey, who will be con- nected with the observatory, is al- ready in Chamounix, and M. Bigour- dan and his assistant, M. Fayet, are expected in a. few days.
