TOUCH DELUSiON.
A simple Experiment Which Produces
Astonishing Results.

The various "optical illusions" by
means Of which straight lines are
caused to appear crooked, and objects
of equal size are rendered, to all ap-
pearance, decidedly unequal, are more
or less familiar TO every reader, but
there are other equally striking de-
ceptions of the senses that are not so
frequently experimental with. A
French savant, says Youths Com
panion, has recently pointed out sever
al surprisingly easy ways in which we
are misled in our perception of heat
and cold and of pressure.
\ simple and convincing experiment
of this kind may be tried in the follow
ing manner: Take two silver dollars
and place one of them upon a marble
table. or mantel, while the other is
rubbed briskly between the hands. In
this manner a slight difference of
temperature between the two pieces of
metal will be produced.
Then ask some one to incline his
head backward closing his eyes. Lay
the warm dollar upon his forehead for
ii IuOLlCII, ICLlONC AZ anu SUI
stitute the cold one. You will hardly
be able to convince him that they are
of equal weight. The cold piece al
ways seems to be much heavier than
the other.
The explanation Of this phenomenon
is that the metal which has been
rubbed between the hands has assumed
nearly the temperature of the body,
and when it is placed upon the fore
head the sense of touch is affected by
the pressure alone.
But the metal which has been
cooled, being at lower temperature
than the skin, affects the sense in a
double manner, and the subject of the
not being able to distin-
guish clearly between the effects, in
ascribes the entire sensa-
ton to pressure alone.

WOMAN'S RIGHTS.
To the LIGHT:

To the LIGHT:
Allow me, for a few moments,
the privilege of dwelling upon a
much neglected topic of the pres
ent-that of "Female Suffrage"
and one which to us poor, mis-
guided females is subject Of great
and vital Importance. Not that
we ladies are pining to vote, for
the other day | heard highly ed
ucated but somewhat mercenary
lady remark that could she grace
the polls with her presence, she
would willingly sell her vote for
the paltry sum of ten cents.
Why we come to you for sympa-
thy, Mr.. Editor, is this: We ladies
are continually having it drummed
into our ears by our husbands in
forming us that we are far inferior
to them in mental and physical
abilities, and to wind it up, that
all laws of decency exclude poor,
ignOminiOuS woman from the polls.
To be debarred from politics for
the want of intellect, as "Peck's
Bad Boy" says, "just breaks us all
up" We thought at least that our
mental faculties We're superior to
the descendants of Ham and Mon
teZuma, while they are allowed the
grand privilege Of voting, besides
being treated to tOddy, etc. In
order to vote we have done all that
could effect manliness: we have
shaved our heads, wear derby hats,
shirts and collars, ride bicycles, and
sconfidentially, Mr.. Editor, there are
a few OF US ladies who with a vain
desire to maintain masculinity to
cast a vote, have by an unknown
process acquired sufficient growth
OF moustache to indicate them to
be more than feminine at least,
and with all this masculine
appearance our political sentiments
would create as great consterna-
ton as did the reformation under
Martin Luther.
Now that "coons" are allowed
the grand liberty OF voting,
we predict that the mighty men of
America will at no late day be i'm.
porting huge gorillas from Africa
Tor the purpose Of voting, in which
case the female intellect Of
this town will retire from
view and bury itself in
some distant, doleful convent
Oh, the horror Of being triumphed
over by gorillas at the polls. 1t i:
shocking! heart-reDding! If W.
ladies could only have this mighty
administration in our hands for {
short time, what a decided change
there would be. AS to GU
only voting for the handsome
men. quien sabe!
Our motto would be Il
elect only handsome widow
to office, in which case they would
not be widows long.

But There Was in 1t Food for Solemn
Reflection.
There are Cinnamon in New Zealand,
and there. as in some other countries,
they are looked upon as intruders, es-
pecially by men who are themselves but
Indifferent citizens. Two gentlemen
were the only inside passengers of a
coach on wet day, till at roadside
hotel the landlord came out to accost
the driver, says the Youths Companion.
''llave you room in the coach for a
gentlcman?' he inquired in tone of
some solicitude.
That depends" answered the driver,
who knew the country pretty well.

Well, not exactly" said the land
lord. Ties getting over It."
"All right" said the driver; "heave
him in. We can always make room for
an extra prodigal."
The prodigal turned out to be a
miner. whose condition fully justified
the drivers cautious inquiry. Soon he
fell into tipsy sleep, from which he
did not awaken even when Ill I'M
assuming Chinaman entered and took
a seat beside him.
BY and by, however, he reused him
self, looked round in a drowsy way,
and caught sight of the Celestial. At
once he brought his horny palm down
upon the English gentleman knee, and
in a confidential inebriated whisper
said, pointing to the Chinaman:
THE cursh of the country"
The Englishman thought it a comical
incident, and more comical still when,
at the end of the route, the Chinaman
paid his fare like a Christian" while
the miner, having spent all his money
for drink, was obliged to leave his
''swag" with the driver in lieu of pay

STOVES OF STRAW.
A Device That Is Employed In the Wild
West.

Device That Is Employed In the Wild
West.
Information comes from the far west
that much suffering from cold may be
averted by the knowledge of how to
construct such a stove as is used large
ly in Dakota. The stove saves the pur-
chasing of fuel, and can be used in any
district where straw or hay is plenti-
full. The device, says Hardware, can
be made by any tinsmith. A drum is
constructed of sheet or stove-pipe iron,
two feet in diameter and four feet, or
more, high. This is placed on a stand,
which may be roughly and inexpen-
sively made, with top of sheet iron,
trimmed to hold the drum in place. The
legs are of hoop iron riveted. The top
of the stove is cOne-shaped, sliding into
the stove-pipe just tightly enough to
insure the carrying away of the smoke,
and yet to enable the drum to be re-
moved for the purpose of emptying and
replenishing. The draught is a hole at
the lower part of the drum, with a
sliding door by which the draught can
be regulated. The drum should be
filled with straw, hay or any material
of like nature, and the fire is started al
the top. One filling will last about six
hours. The Introduction of this stove
| into Dakota is said to have been a YER
table godsend, and it Is SO cheaply and
easily made that there is nothing tc
prevent its use in many district!

HENpEKsoN,s BOY BAND.
They Serenade the Eagfe Once Last Night
With Fine Music.

Wichita was proud of her Pickan-
| niny band, and was proud Of their play
| ing, but when Evangelist Whitman
| visited Wichita with his band OF sing
| ers. he took the band with him and
| now the members of the kid colored
! band are receiving high praise by the
press OF the towns and cities they Wis
1t throughout the country. The band
was gone and then there arose the
question among the white boys as 10
| why they might not have band and
win fame also.
The boys met Professor Sanford was
chosen musical director. The horns
were secured and the inhabitants of the
first block on North Market street
were treated 70 chaotic strains of the
horn. What is more horrible than dis
cords of a new band? Many a man
would have thrown down his job in de-
spair at the first meeting. But not so
with their leader. He gave instruct
ions and the boys soon learned 10 chord
their music and the neighbors gave up
their plan of moving from the block.
A few weeks since the boys made
their first appearance in public and all
were surprised and gratified. Their
achievement was looked upon as one
OF the wonders of the age. All were
satisfied but the members Of the organ
could be improved upon and they began
work harder than ever to solve the
problem of the keys and valves.
They succeeded was the verdict of
all who heard the boys play last night
in front of the Eagle office. Three
pieces were played and all were hearth
ly encored.
The names of the young men who be-
long TO Henderson's band. and who
have made such great advancement in
the musical profession are as follows:
