Force Exerted by the Jaws.
From Popular Science News

DR.. V. g. Black has recently made
experiments upon the force exerted by
the human jaws in chewing food, and
also the greatest force which the jaws
are capable of exerting.
By means of spring instrument
provided with a registering device, he
took records of about $50 "bites" of
different persons, OF these, fifty have
been preserved as characteristic of the
ordinary man, woman, and child. The
smallest pressure recorded was 80
pounds, by a little girl seven years old.
This was with the ineisors. Using her
molars, the same child exerted a force
of 65 pounds. The highest record was
made by physician of thirty-five.
The instrument used only registered
270 pounds, and he simply closed it
together without apparent effort.
There was no method of determining
how far above 27O pounds he could
have gone, This test was made with
the molars. Several persons exceeded
force of 100 pounds with the incisors
and 200 with the molars. The physi-
cal condition of the persons expert
mented upon seemed to have little
bearing upon the result. DR.. Black is
of the opinion that the condition of the
peridental membranes is the control
ling factor, rather than muscular
strength.
DR.. Black found that, in the habitual
chewing of food, much more force is
exerted than is necessary. In chewing
piece of beefsteak, the crushing point
of which was from 40 to As pounds,
from go to 50 pounds stress was actual
ly employed at each thrust of the
teeth. The principal articles of food
tested had crushing points as follows;
Steak, 40 to 45 pounds; mutton chops,
35 to 40 pounds; broied ham, 45 to go
pounds; roast beef, As to go pounds;
pork chops, 20 to 25 pounds, and the
choicest parts of cold boiled beef
tongue, 8 to 5 pounds. The tougher
parts of beef and mutton required a
crushing force of 80 pounds in some
Instances.

The Quartzville Mines.

Mr.. George Seller, who is employed
as chief cook for the English syndicate
working in the Quartzville mining dis
trict, has gone to Portland and will
return in day Or two with more help
in his line, He reports that the 40
stamp mill of the company commenced
work crushing some very rich ore last
Tuesday, and is now running regular
ly. There are from 70 to 80 men en-
ployed in the mines, and the vein Of
ore he reports Is inexhaustible. Mr..
Sellers, while not miner, declares
that from what he has heard stated by
miners daily eating at his table, the
belief is general that there will be a
great boom in the Santiam district the
coming spring, and that the output of
gold from those mines will be great
and the Quartzville company will lead
in the production Of the precious
metal.
Miners are being paid So per day,
and are furnished with the best OF
board and other ACCOMMODATIONS. The

HOW DOGS ARE sTun1Ep.
Methods Employed In the Manufacture

Methods Employed In the Manufacture OF

There is an era Of tiny dogs in Eng

Toledo Blade. But, alas! How many
feminine readers who delight in tn.
miniature ioggies know that they are
an artificial product.
There is in London On establishment
devoted entirely TO the stunting of the
animals. The proprietor is an ex-
breeder of fighting dogs, but he now
finds more profit in rearing the lilipu-
tian CANNES, for which he has wide
reputation. He does not claim to be the
originator of the process. for he says
that all dog men know OF the dwarfing
powers of alcohol, but he asserts that he
is the only man in London to adopt the
principle systematically.
His method is as follows: The pun
destined to be stunted is taken from its
mother when few hours old and when
it begins to whine for sustenance it is
fed with a warm decoction of gin and
water. Deprived of milk, it takes to

HUNTERS HIT BY THEIR GAME,
Instances Where Sportsmen Have Received
Severe Blows from Birds.

Instances Where Sportsmen Have Received
Severe Blows from Birds.
Game killed in full flight has q mo-
mentum that carries it a long way some
times. London Field relates several in
stances where the birds have hit the
sportsman. In one case George Mon
ners was shooting in the woods of Long
Island when agrouse, driven by beaters,
came flying along fast and high up. He
shot at it, and then, with the other
barrel, fired ct another bird. Just as
he was about lowering his gun after
the second shot he received blow on
the head that knocked him sense
less. The grouse first lst had tumbled
against his head.
That same afternoon wheelman
riding along 1eaf fhe line of hunters
a.lmiring the scenery did not observe n
big black cock till it's feathers brushed
his head. The black cock had been
killed and had nearly hit him in falling

BEWARE OF soFT.sHELL CRABS.
Peculiar Parts to Bo REGARDED by Thosa
Who Eat Thorn.

Who Eat Thorn.
There is no danger in eating soft
shelled crabs" observed an epicure, "if
they are fresh, but they are poison if
they are not. They should be well sea-
soned, and an extra lot of pepper put
on them as presaution, especially If
the weather is very hot when they are
eaten, or II they are eaten shortly be-
fore one retires. 1t is the habit of many
persons to eat soft-shelled crabs at
night time. I do not know but that they
taste better then. It is somewhat dan
gerous to many to drink milk after eat
ing crabs. Milk seems to develop the
collie that follows eating soft-shelled
crabs with some persons.
"Another thing that should be re-
membered, and that is that a sharp
thunderstorm will kill soft-shelleld
crabs, and even the hard-shelled crabs
at times. Unless the softshellcd crab
had been cooked before the thunder
storm, think the safer plan would be
to decline to eat it. Under all other
conditions there is no danger in partak.
ing of them, for do not think anyone
would be. criminal enough to cook n
dead crab, hard or soft shell. The
proper way to kill crab is to throw
him into a kettle of boiling water.
know that some people think this is
cruel, but it is no more cruel than to
sstab them with needle or kill them
with chloroform, as have known some
extra sensitive persons to do."

Cost OF a Cardinal.s Hat.

The red hat of a cardinal costs him
more money than kings pay for any cx-
cept their very best crowns. Before
accepting it the grateful prelate must
make offerings to the the propaganda
and to his titular church at Rome, and
pay fees to u long list Of officials, rang
ing from chamberlains at the vatican
down to the cooks and sweepers and the
soldiers of the Swiss guards. Indeed,
the new cardinal has to pay fees atcvery
step from the moment of his creation
to the occasion of his receiving the red
hat in public consistory, and when oil
is over and done finds himself out of
pocket to the extent of $4,000 at least.
If the cardinal is without means to de-
fray the cost of his elevation, and If he
is to reside in Rome, the vatican is ready
to make him a loan to be repaid in in
stallments out of his yearly allowances.

several pairs Of black hose over her arm,
handed the man the paper, and said:
