are severely criticised ~ The Ontario County

town at all future county conventions for the year
and adjourned before many Republicans had en-
tered the room where the caucus was held. thus
shutting of many Republicans entitled to vote.
They called another caucus and sent contesting
deegatieR TO the convention which was fairly en-
titled to seats as representing Phelps. The organ
ization did see fit to allow their claims: This
was not only mistake but an injustice TO the Re-
publcans OF Phelps. and so the harmonkil8 OF the

The Three Class,s Of Community.

There are but three classes OF men
in, every community, the retrograde
the stationary aud the progressive.
The first two have little or no regard
for the newspaper and its influence,
and read it simply to see what is 60
ing on, but who could fold their arms
and see it die with utmost campla-
cency. leaving the progressive class
the only real sufferers. The retrocrade
and stationary classes OF every COM
munity are generally the critics of the
newspapers. and as Steele says: "Of
all mortals n critic is the silliest," for
by inuring himself to examine every
thing. whether OF consequence or not,
he never looks on anything but with a
design OF passing sentence upon it.

Burial Mounds,

Mr.. Reynolds has recently complet-
ed the investigation of IL burial mound
in Georgia, located on ii bend of the
Savannah about three miles from Sill
YER Bluff. Its contents stamp it as one
of the most remarkable yet opened.
They consist of human crania, pottery,
copper implements and ornaments,
galenite pipes stone implements, pearl
and she'll beads AMI textile fabrics.
The crinia Were in fragments and in
an advanced stage OF decay.
The pottery consisted of twenty
three pots ranging in size from small
narrow-necl, jars to large urns of a
capacity of some sixteen gallons.
Some OF these were deliberately
decorated with stamped patterns.
There were four celts of hammered
copper. The value and Importance of
these were indicated by the fact that
they had been wrapped in cloth and
messed in bark. There were also thin
plates of copperswith figures in relief
similar in type to the Etowah mound
species They were much broken
and so brittle that they could scarcely
be handled.
Sufficient traces only OF the textile
fabrics were preserved by contact
with the copper to determine their gen.
eral character.
Eleven pipes, carved to represent
human and animal figures, were taken
from the mound.
Many stone implements of the usual
type, such as spear-heads. cets,
chisels, etc, were found

THEY FILLED WITH WIND.
How Pair of Roomy trousers
Caused an Exciting Time.

On board a steamboat the other
evening strange thing occurred,
which teaches "a valuable lesson, says
the Historian. A shy young man de-
cided TO abandon a venerable pair OF
trousers to their fate, having just Sc
cured new pair as he went on the
boat. SO he said to himself: II Will
just drop them out OF my cabin WIN
dow into the remorseless tide, and all
will be buried in the great calm bosom
of the old Columbia" He rolled them
up carefully and SHE'D them far. far
out over the gunwale OF the boat near
the bow. AS they sped through the
air they unfurled with a SOUL
piercing plumb. They filled with air
and looked, as they struck on the
crest of the waves, like Il man looking
over to peer down into the depths OF
the tide.
A nervous woman about midshlpS
herd the impact OF he abandoned
trousers, and looking down with q
shudder said "Me Gawd, a human
being has went to his account She
then became the author OF a loud yell
and all hands rushed to the guards
with the cry Of "Man overheard ~
that awful cry which once heard can
never be forgotten.
A hundred hands ran to the lower
decks, and, amid the cries of women
and the quick-drAwn breath OF pale
men, a tall roustabout jabbed the
drowning man in the vitals with a jab-
Der, and. while fainting passengers
looked the other way, he pulled
out the now Collapsed trousers and
found on the inside of the waistband
the name Of the owner. also the leg and
waist measurement, together with the
name of an Astoria tailor.
Then they began to hunt over the
boat and in the drcgs If the river for
the man who had occupied the trousers
aforetime. and that chv young mans
name was in every mouth, and he
didn't dare to come down to breakfast,
and his jet black mustachc, which could
be distinctly seen when he left, from
very fright turned around and went
back again.

Human Food.

Fools that supply material fol
growth and repair are called nitr ogen.
Gus foods. They are also called pro.
ieids. from Greek word meaning
which are the first principle or form of
life. there is always nitrogen. A com
mon name is albuminous foods Al.
luminous substances exist in manv
forms. and are called by different
names N different things. They are
found largely in meat. fish. milk. peas.
beans and grains. the albumen and
iibrin in the uice and flesh of meat
and fish, and in the juice. and m EN-.
branes of some vegetables aud fruits,
the casein in IN Tx. the vegetable cascin
in peas and beans. and the gluten OF
grains. are all forms of heterogeneous
substances. or proteids.
The carbonaceous foods are fats. in
GLIDING butter. the fat of meat or fish.
oils. eggs, aud some kinds of cheese.
A small amount of fat is necessary in
digestion. and Indispensable to perfect
nutrition. Starch and sugar as found
in vegetables and fruits, are also fat
producing. Fats form the princi pal
material of certain tissues. giving ro-
tundity and beaut, to the form. and
being nOn-conductors of heat, keep the
body warm. An undue accumulation
of fat is spec es of disease and is
often dangerous
Thus we SEQ that the solid part OF the
flesh and blood is largely tibrin and
albumen. substances smilar to the
fbers and ju ces OF meat and fish. and
that eggs, milk. peas. beans aud
grains also contu n iibrin and albumen.
and we find nitrogen is the element
common in all. and it is from these
heterogeneous foods that the bodily sub.
stance is chief built up.
Age. occupation, climate. and our
finances. should inilunce our choice of
food. Persons whose occupation tn X
their muscular strength often think
that they require great deal of meat.
when there are many foods that contain
AS much rs. or more. proteid matter
than meat, such rs peas. beans. cheese
and grains.
Animal food is better diet for cold
weather than for hot. Fat is not d..
gested easily unless exercise is taken.
Fruits. vegetables and grains eaten
with milk. butter or o., furnish the
carbohydrates needed in summer.
Those who labor or exercise in the
open air need IL large quantity Of whole
some food, and it need not be the most
d'gestible. as they require food that
will stay by them.
Persons engaged in sedentary occu.
pations. or who take little exercise and
live in close confined rooms, can not
digest AS much. or as easily rs til ose
who labor out of doors Those who
tax their brains severely should avoid
fat. People who consume much starch
or sugar are liable to grow fat As a
rule the majority of people cat too
much. and between forty and fifty
years of age. an excess OF albuminales
is liable 10 develop heart. liver and
kidney troubles. VIII CHI are more or less
akin to dyspepsia. An excess of starcl,y
food. or OF sugar or fat causes obesity,
not only of the body. but an accumua.
ton of fat about the heart aud other
internal organs VIII CHI is liable to prove

The Creditors of O'Connell &

a Meeting.
Employees Refused to Work - The

a meeting of the creditors of O'ConneIl
& Lewis, boiler, machine works and iron
founders at Francisco and Kearny streets,
was held yesterday in the Office of Stafford
& Stafford, attorneys for the firm. 1t was
called by Messers. O. Connell and Stafford,
and the question of continuing or discon-
tinuing the business of the firm was con-
sidered. The liabilities are said to be $780,
600 and the assets $4,000. including $1O,-
600 in contracts and outstanding accounts,
the machinery and the real estate of the
iron works. The necessity of a meeting
of the creditors was caused by the general
depression of business and inability TO
realize on accounts.
The firm is behind in paymentof wages
to its employees, and the tumble was pre-
cipitated by the employees refusing to go
to work last Saturday unless they were
paid.
1t was represented on behalf of the firm
that they thought they could pay their
liabilities, or the largest part of them, in
six months or year, and that much ex-
tension of time was asked.
The creditors appointed committee to
examine into the books and accounts of
