Athletic Feats ON the Moon.

Did you ever get to thinking that you
would enjoy a sudden translation from
the earth to the moonP If you have, did
you ever figure on the wonderful feats Of
muscular strength with.which you could
astonish our luminary neighbors, provid-
ing gravitation would have no more effect
accordingly there than here?
Let us figure; The moon only weighs
one-eightieth part as much as the earth.
Gravitation must, therefore, be correspond
ingly less II, therefore, man weighed
40 pounds OH this earth, he would weigh
but fraction over 30 pounds according to
the scales used on the moon. If, however,
his muscles and frame remained the same
as they were before being transferred to
our silvery sister world, he could "aston-
ish the natives" with his astounding ath-
letio and muscular feats He would be
able to shoulder an elephant of the regula-
ton size and to yank small mountain
out by the roots. The buoyanoy of his
body would be so great that athletic feats
would be easily accomplished. He could
run mile in something less than two Sec
onds, or could by single bound leap over
a wall "a feet high without greater exer-
ton than would be required here in clear

A Word or Two on Being a snob.

Good will would come easier if we could
all contrive to make our expectations of
one another bear more reasonable rela-
ton to facts. Most Of us are apt to have
a general standard of looks, conduct,
morals, intelligence and agreeableness,
and to think favorably of persons who
come up to it or surpass it, and more or
less unfavorably of person who don't.
People who come up to our standard are
nice, and we like their company and cul-
tivate their society, and other people are
not nioe and we are apt to speak of them
with some disparagement to avoid being
thrown with them, to Sigh when they ask
us to dinner, and to think the time spent
with them is time wasted. But we can
easily Discriminate overmuch and be IN

ions. People whose circle of piagmates is

THE BHIL TRIBES.

Feminine Beauties.


A Pen Picture of One of Their Decorated
Feminine Beauties.
1t will be noted that Bill beauty
wears as many as half dozen heavy metal
bracelets upon either wrist, and the COL
lection Of trinkets that hang over her ears
is extremely curious. Her rather light at
tire permits us to form some opinion as to
the physique of this woman, and it is not
difficult to see that in such particulars she
Is remarkably we'll proportioned. She is
evidently broad and deep chested, has fine
ly developed limbs, and a well balanced
head upon rather square shoulders. The
form Of her face is nesesy circular, with
large mouth and nose, and the eyes are set
far apart. Her complexion ia dark, and
she is somewhat small in stature.
Bills have the reputation of being very
active and capable of enduring much IA
tigue with impunity. Twenty years ago, or
less perhaps, this tribe occupied British
political agenoy-the Bill agency, in CEN
trail Asia-whioh covered an area of $3.50
square miles and had a population of near
ly $50, 900 people. This agency was estab-
lished in 1895, at which time Bhil corps
was organized with a view to utilizing
the warlike instincts Of the Bhil tribes.
This brave body of men have done good
service and gradually put down the preda-
tory habits Of their oountrymen.
The Bill tribes chiefly inhabit the rocky
ranges Of the vindhya and Satpura noun
tains and the banks of the Narbada and.the
Tapti. In common with other hill tribes,
the Bills are supposed to have been alb
origines of India and to have been driven
to their present Businesses at the time of the
Hindoo invasion.-Dr. R. W. Shufeldt in

The Bright Gem Sees Many Changes In Its
Mission of Adjournment.
To the expert diamond has as much
individuality as human being. The man
not accustomed to the examination Of the
ps>oious stones secs no difference between
them except that Of size, but the lover Of
gems, in two stones that to the average
observer are perfectly matched, will detect
a hundred differences In luster, in color,
in manner Of cutting, In size, and, above
all, in that individuality a0hady referred
to which distinguished one from another,
even when minor points of difference are
almost altogether wanting. The diamond
lover therefore not unnaturally regards a
beautiful gem as an entity, having a his
tory Of it's own, sometimes running back
for hundreds Of years.
Precious objects, such as diamonds,
which combine enormous value with the
minimum Of bulk, which are almost uni
versally coveted and may be converted in
to cash or it's equivalent on short notice,
are naturally exceedingly interesting from
these facts If for no other, and the trav-
els of a diamond, II they could be fol-
lowed, would make story often Of thrill
ing interest. Now In royal crown; now
in pawnshop; now in brooch adjoining

THE oUMBERLAND's GRAND BALL.
The Great Hit of the Evening Were the
Rowing Races on the Stage.

Last night the annual ball of the Cum
berland Rowing Association took
place in City hall and for novelty and
interesting feature the rowing races on
the stage conducted by means of the
Kern patent machine, far surpassed
anything that has been seen in this city
for some time
The working of the machines has, been
described In the PRESS.
Last night there were four races and
the first of these was pair cared race
ofa three-quarters of u mile, or IS revolu-
tions OF the miniature boats on the dial
face. r. B. Jacobs and f. j. Merrill
ormed one crew and P. j. McDonough
and #. +. Feeney the other. The first
pair OF these oarsmen wore red jerseys
and by their rowing caused the red boat
to travel around the dial face, and the
second crew mentioned were connected
with the blue boat. Daniel Bowen was
the referee OF the races and Mr.. Kerns,
the patentee Of the machinee, acted as
master of oere mvnies, Toward the end
the blue boat began to draw a little
ahead and though the red boat made
heroic efforts to keep alongsids, 1t was
some distance behind at the end of the
18th revolution or the three quarters
OF mile. The audience grew wildly
excited and applauded almost continu-
ously the two contestants. P. J.. Mo-
Donough and E. p. Feeney won the first
pair cared race.
The second pair cared race was won
BY z. s. McDonough and B. j. MoBrady
after hard russell with the other crew
which was made up of Il. W. McDon-
ough and N. j. Kelley. The double SOUL
race was the closest and most e1oit-
ing of all. P. p. Foley and C. j. Fair
weather won this contest from C. W,
Peterson and s. J. MCCARTHY. In the
single scull race 7. j. Mccarthy won
from A. A. Frates. The audience were
very enthusiastic over these exhibitions.
