Eat Slowly and Be Merry.

AT recent meeting of medical men Dr.
f. A. Burial spoke of the amount of mis-
chief done by the very common habit of
eating the meals rapidly, according to the
farmers motto of "quick to eat and quick
to work" Thorough mastication was of
the utmost importance, and, of course,
this presupposed proper condition of the
teeth. Gastric digestion was often weak
ened and much distress was caused by the
ingestion of too much fluid with the food,
particularly at the beginning of the meal
Another factor in causing dyspepsia was
the habit Of eating food In silence, or
without that mirth and good fellowship
SO necessary to insure a nervous condition
favorable to the normal action of the d.
gestive organs. These little details might
seem trite and unimportant, but it was
the duty Of the careful physician to in
struot his patients in regard to them. The
long continued and free use of digestive
agents served to make the digestive or
gans lazy and inactive. Medical Record.

Election day dawns, and it Is busy one
for the police. To the average citizen of
New York and to every small boy who can
help build a bonfire an election means a
holiday, but the policeman rejoices that 1t
comes but once year. For weeks previ-
GUS to election they, too, have been busy
in preparatory work. Every registration
has been verified by a personal visit, and
In cases where fraud seems to have been
committed the evidence has been carefully
prepared and warrants issued. The lodg-
ing houses, cheap hotels and like places
have been under the most rigid surveil-
lance for weeks in order to detect and pre-
vent colonization. No person can vote
from one of these places unless he is known
to have been registered there at least 80
days prior toelection day and to have lived
in the county at least four months. When
it is remembered that IL, 1875 men were
registered in licensed lodging houses Of
New York on Oct. 2, 1897, and ii, 800
more in the cheap hotels and unlicensed
lodging houses, an idea can be obtained of
the amount of this kind of work which
falls upon the police. 1t is interesting to
note that of this total of 26, 52l floating
male population only l0,665 registered to

A Picture of lola.

This is how lola is described by
Stuart Henry in Hours With Famous
Parisians:" A business man, no emo
tion, no ideals, no imagination, no
poetry, in his personal intercourse. He
does not try to win or entertain you.
He takes no personal interest in you
and does not expect you to take any
personal interest in him. He talks
frankly and freely about everything,
but in secular way. He makes life
seem to you merely a commercial career.
Fiction for him is editions of 100, 900
francs year. His magisterial and mag
nificent panoramas of descriptions, I'M
equaled for their kind, are all measured
off in his mind as SO many rods of print
ed matter at SO much rod. No personal
magnetism, no sentiment, no perfume,
no rose colors. Life has been for him
blunt, rude, british thing. He has con-
quered merely because he has worked
harder than any one else. With him
naturalistic literature succeeds only by
the sweat of the brow. What loins Of
strength neverthelessl What Titanic
capacities to achieved He towers over
al his Partisan contemporaries, as Vic
tor Hugo lowered over his epoch.

have no doubt Disraeli loses friends
by his apparent insouciance and the
method in which he walks to his place
without looking at anybody-but /
surmise from my own experience that it
arises from nearsightedness. / perceive
that he cannot tell what o'clock it is
without using his glass, and somebody
told me lately that he saw him hailing
a police van, mistaking it for an omni-
bus. His face is often haggard and his
air weary and disappointed, but he has
the brow and eyes of poet, which are
always pleasant to look upon.
He generally says the right thing at
the right minute and in the right way,
and he is Justify cheered, but sitting
among the opposition have abundant
reason to note that he is not completely
trusted. 1t is said that young Stanley
and other youngsters of his class believe
in him and that the man who is SO tact

panion among his familiars and is a
gracious and genial host. Some of his

Value of Kindness In Animal Training.


Vicious horses are generally the result
OF Violent barbarous training, and when
the greater number of the horses in any
country are tricky and hard to manage
1t means that they belong to brutal pop
ulation. From time immemorial the con-
trary has been the case among the Arabs,
where colts are brought up and exercised
with almost maternal solicitude. The
child amuses itself by petting and playing
with the colt of which he Is some day to
be the rider, and the horse and his cavalier
grow up together The earliest education
of the young animal begins In the family,
In the same tent The colt Is constantly
looked after and caressed and is never chas-
tised except for acts Of malice or disobedi-
ence. He is given the choicest dainties of
food and is gradually accustomed to make
himself useful. When the bit is put In his
mouth, the iron is covered with wool, SO
that 1t shall not bruise his lips, the wool
having been dipped in salt water to give 1t
q pleasant flavor and make him like It.
The animals education Is thus all ways car
ried on with constant discretion, and even
after 1t is completed the trainers never in
dulge In blows or hard words. BY such
association real bond of friendship Is
formed between tho beast and his rider

cIeNeeA's DARK HISTORY.

The Hand Of Cutthroats That Once In
tested the Arizona Station
Those who can remember hack to 1879
and thereabout In this part of the terri
tory recall that Cienega Station had re-
markably tragic history.
II was once the abode of ANAL though
desperate band of Enthusiastically the
employees OF the stage company-who
posed as honest hosts while operating q
private graveyard for unfortunate travel
ers, not unlike nor inferior to that which
has clothed the name of Bender with its
worldwide terror and abhorrence. IL was
the most important station between Tue
son and Silver City on the old Butterfield
stage route that ran between San Diego
and Eel Paso.
The tragic mysteries OF Cienega Station
were never entirely cleared up, for muir
derspnd robberies and hold ups followed
so swiftly on the heels of each other that
the real miscreants were never dealt with
by the authorities.
That their crimes were avenged how
ever, as crimes always are, Is shown in the
Indian massacre which occurred there In
the fall of 1873. One dark night the
Apaches gathered in silence on the sur
rounding hills, and at daybreak, with a
whoop and yell. they rushed in on the lit
tie band at the station and massacred all.
If any escaped, no one knows who 1t was
or where he went, and the presumption
Is that all were killed. On little knoll
back of the station are the mounds of Is
unknown graves marked by q single shaft
that tells the work Of the avengers. Most
Of the crimes perpetrated by the white
men at Cienega were laid to the door of
the Apaches, and it was afterward found
that mOocasins were kept by the robbers
as part of their highway paraphernalia.
The most widely known crime of the
CieneRa fends was the capture of $75, 900
en- route from Ell Paso to San Diego In
charge Of small government guard.
These were funds of the United States
paymastsr, and the three men who at
tempted to convey them in buck board
past Cienega Station were murdered on
the spot. 1t was known that this crime
was perpetrated by Americans disguised
as Apaches.
At this time it was impossible for these
Cienega Benders to get out of the country
with their treasure, SO most of it was
buried in secret. Then came the Apache
avengers. Often since then idle prospect
ors have made vain searches for the hid
den treasure. Gazette.

Walking sticks have frequently been left
by will. Franklin bequeathed his favorite
stick, with gold handle shaped like a

gold headed cane used by Drs. Radcliffe,
Mead and others, whose arms are engraved
upon IL, was bequeathed by Baillie to the
College Of Physicians. Napoleon's walk

THE kLlPSPRiNGER.
A South African Animal That Resembles
the Chamois OF Europe.


The klipspringer or klipbok, as it is Of
ten called by the colonists, seems, like the
chamois OF Europe, to be created for no
other purpose than to complete and adorn
a mountain landscape. Although smaller
than its distant cousin of the snowy Alps.
the klipspringer yields neither to it nor to
any other mountain dweller in the world
in the ease with which 1t can get about the
most difficult and dangerous rocks and
precipices. To watch a pair of these little
antelopes bounding with the elasticity of

precipitous face of some pawning cliff or

and lodges that might startle even Rocky

GOODNESS and lack of fear born of countless
generations of climbing ancestry, is to
watch the very perfection of wild life upon
the mountains Certainly in all South AT
RIGA there is no moro charming or wonder
full sight than the klipspringer amid its
own wild mountains, kloofs and krantzes.
About feet in height at the shoulder
sometimes trifle more--the klipspringer
is sturdily built little buck. The ram
carries short, sharp, poniardlike horns
about inches in length; tho eve is horn
less. One great popularity of the klipbok
lies In its olive brown coat, which is thick
and very brittle to the touch Each hair
is hollow, and the whole coat is singularly
light and elastic. Among the colonists,
and especially the Beers, the hair of the
klipspringer is in consequence in great de.
mand for stuffing saddles. The legs are
robust, as they need to be, the pasterns
stiff and rigid, while the tiny
boots are hollow, somewhat jagged at tho
edges and exactly adapted for obtaining
foothold on the most difficult mountain
sides. London Spectator.
