QUEER TRADE.
A Chicago Man Makes Money as Profcs-
sional Lemon Peeler.


sional Lemon Pecler.
A man has earned the title Of Lemon
John because he knows how to remove
the peel from lemons and prepare them
for immediate use better, perhaps, than
any other man. He developed what he
regards as an art in a West Side saloon.
lie practices it now il as many saloons
in the down town districts as he can
visit between midnight and dawn. He
is short, thickset. unassuming person
age and as methodical as ne is deft with
his sharp little knife. He enters saloon
with mere nod Of recognition toward
the officiating dispenser, steps hastily
up to a corner Of bar, reaches out me-
chanically fer bis supplies and gets down
to business ut cnce. "A lemon in his
hands seems to b3 in the power of q
magician and loses its hard, thick COW
ering with swiftness and sickness
that never fail to astorish an unsophis-
ticated spectator. 1t emerges from the
ordeal with only the filmy white cover
ing that comprises the inner layer Of the
peel, and this covering, when John is
at his best, never shows scratch or a
tear The finished lemon looks rs if it
had heen Subjected to some machine ap-
plicetion, This process is repeated until
the stock Of lemons in the saloon esti-
mated as the probable supply for the
day has been exhausted. Then John
proceeds to the next patron,
Saloon keepers use "a large number Of
lemons, and ordinarily their preparation
for Use is made by the barkcoIcr at The
time be may b9 mixing drink, Then
ho has not the time nor the skill to re-
move the bitter peel, and il often spoils
the taste of an otherwise pleasant bever-
age. When John appeared on the scene
and offered TO do this work at nominal
cost, first cne and then another gave
him trial, until his business is flour

LoCoMoTIoN FOR EXERCIsE.

There seems no falling off in the
popularity Of the bicycle, but at the
present season of the year. the wheel
is less used and consequently less
thought Of, than during those seasons
when its use is more available on the
public roads. 1t is a good time, then,
to consider whether it is wise to re-
place pedestrianism entirely by the use
of the wheel. 1t has been found that
the latter, despite its value as an exer-
else giver and its advantages for speed,
does not and never can supply the place
of pedestrianism as method OF health
ful, physical exercise.
Bicycling can be overdone It brings
into use muscles that are not used in
walking and develops them to an inor-
dinate degree. So much is this SO that
French physician considers that its
continuance by the human race for
several generations will tend to reduce
the human species to apes and mon
keys 1t does not develop the lower
limbs enough, and while the hands,
arms and chest are overworked, the
legs suffer for the want of sufficient
exercise to develop them.
AS an implement for speedy locomo-
motion, the modern bicycle bids fair,
Notwithstanding all arguments against
it, to hold its place. AT a recent com
parison between bicycling and running
the fact was established that the speed
of the bicycle rider is two and a hall
to three times as fast as that of the
pedestrian. The average walker covers
three miles an hour. The average
wheelman makes nine miles IN the
same time. The professional rider hai
made a mile in one minute, thirty-nin,
and a fifth seconds, while the tastes
running time for mile is said to b.
four minutes, twelve and three-quar
ters seconds.
While the above shows withou
doubt the value of the wheel for speed
it is to be hoped that it will not Undue
the human race to give up the advan
ages Of pedestrianism for, good as it
in its place, wheeling can never replaC
walking as a means for preserving tn
health by bringing the lower limbs c
the body into active use. In walkin
the whole body is healthfully exercise,
while, as already stated, only a porto
OF the muscles CT the body are used i
wheeling which cannot fail If followe
exclusively to develop an uneve
physique.
While we cheerfully admit the valr
Of the wheel as method for locom,
tion, we trust that athletic association

THREE-DAY TOUR TO WASHING
TON

Washington at present is the cyno-
sure of all eyes; not only because it is
the nations capital and of the interest
which attaches to the deliberations of
Congress, but the brilliant presidential
reception on New Years day formally
opened the season of fashionable fes-
tivities, and it has now become the great
social centre of the country. Brilliant
minds, waving for the time the cares
Of government abandon themselves to
tho gay whirl of the social world. Re-
ceptions, dinners, balls follow each
other with bewildering rapidity.
The state of the Cuban question and
the possibilities Of Congressional ac-
tion is also claiming attention, and the
never-dying interest which attaches TO
the many departments OF the govern
ment is attracting its usual number of
visitors
The three-day personally conducted
tour Of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, which leaves New York,
January 2l affords the best opportu-
nifty Of visiting the national capital at
this season. The party will be under
the care and guidance of an exper-
fenced tourist agent, and the program
in Washington has been prepared with
an accurate knowledge of the location
and best time to visit each of the prin-
cipal points of interest.

1UEsDAY. JANUARY 10. Is0s
THE OLD AND THE NEW.

Hon William r. Watson has retired
from the governors chair and is sue
ceeded by Hon. Ebe W. Tunnel. AZ
noon to-day the state lost an executive
Of sterling worth to get another possi-
bly, no better. but his peer in every par
ticular.
Mr.. Watson has made an excellent
executive. There is not a blemish upon
his public record. Having a high con-
ception Of the office he impaired to it a
dignity in keeping with his own strong
personality, and the state is much bet
ter for his two years incumbency.
He demonstrated that a governor can
be a governor instead Of a mere pup
pet in the hands of selfish and design
ing men. There never was a time when
a politician in the State of Delaware
could point to Mr.. Watson and say.
"He's my man; If you want anything
let me know" He was his own man
upon every occasion, and if he erred
in any particular,it was in being too in
dependent OF the men who assume that
it is their particular province to make
and unmake governors. Had he been
more subseryient to their demands we
believe that he could have had a full
term, but he was not made of plable
stuff and it was decreed otherwise. We
do not believe that he regrets the Sc
lection he made, for he has acquitted
himself with honor and carries that
honor home with him.
Our new governor is also a man who
fully appreciates the honorable and re-
sponsible character of the office which
he to-day assumed. His private
and public record is blameless. He has
a high degree Of intelligence an inti-
mate acquaintance with public affairs,
and his inaugural address, which we
print elsewhere, shows that he is one
in whom the public may safely repose
its confidence and trust.
We wish Mr.. Tunnel all the joy that
four years of honestly administered Of
fetal life can afford

MUD BATHS.

tspN the Mushliko Mixture Is Prepared
For the Patients.
1.-THE hot springs of New Mexico, .
says a gentleman from Las Vegas, 'are
on the Santa Fe railroad, six miles from
Las Vegas, and they are situated in
basin about 30 acres in extent, sur
rounded on all sides by hills rising to n
height of from 800 to 400 feet shielding
the place from wind and sand storms.
The mud baths which are famous for
their curative effects are only to be had
in two places in the world-here and at
Carlsbad Germany-and it has been
shown that the mud found at the hot
springs of New Mexico and which is
used in giving the baths is Of the same
chemical composition as that Of Carls-
bad 1t is very interesting to note the
formation of this mud or peat 1t is
formed by the vegetation which has
been washed down from the hills prob
ably century ago, and which, settling
among the rocks, has become decomposed
and formed into a substance which is
practically carbon impTegnated with
salts, magnesia, Soda lithia aud various
other ingredients.
"This peat is gathered from the rocks
dried and put through fine sieve in or.
der to remove the silicates, and after
this treatment it is as soft as flour. 1t
is then taken to the mixing room, where
it is put in large tubs and the water
from the hot springs mixed with ii un-
til it is of about the consistency of mush
The mud is now ready for use, and it is
taken into the bathing room, where the
patient is placed in tub and covered,
with the exception Of the head and al
lowed to remain in the mud for from 10
to 30 minutes The application of the
mud has an effect similar to a mild
poultioe and draws the Impurities from
the body through tho pores of the skin.
The patient is then removed from the
BATH placed upon slab and submitted.
to a vigorous rubbing, the chemical
composition Of the mud being such that
it can be rubbed from the body with a
dry towel, leaving the 1esh in a clean
condition. A great many people come
to this place to take the mud bath treat
ment, and some marvellous cures are
effected. In one instance l remember to
have seen man who was all drawn up
with rheumatism, and after two weeks
of this treatment he had been relieved.
The treatment is especially beneficial to
persons afflicted with neuralgia, rheu.
matism aud skin diseases. ''-Denver
