WhiSt.

With the abandonment of outdoor
amusements, as cold weather ap-
proaches, whist is being res0rted to.
AT many homes in. the city, where
there are members enough, an hour or
so is thus spent every night in the
week. Then, too, the Fortnightly
Whist club meets alternate Thurs
days, the last meeting having been
with Mrs. j. A. Paul, last Thursday.
On this occasion, although there were
present three tables full and one men,
Der oyer-thirteen-no "bad luck"
has thus far been reported. Another
pleasant feature at these afternoon
parties always pleasant though-are
the refreshments.

STOCK YARDS CANES
csook-Ha~diod Hickories Afrectea ~
the Habitues Of That Dis-
triot IN Chicago.

o>s Of the surious sights az she
stoeiA yards is the peesiiar style of
sano or walking stick affected by those
whose daily business takos them into
that great i've stock mart The real
stock yards cane Is a stick Of polished
hickory, with large and ample crook
at the end to meet the requirements Of
the huge and bony hands Of the most
stalwart ranohman. These canes ap-
parsntly are not made from saplings
With the bark removed and crook
put upon the end. but from solid strips
OF hickory wood shaved and nodded
into tho proper shape. They are from
three-quarters to an inch in diameter
In the thickest part and without any
artificial stain or attempt at decors-
ton.
In no other part OF the city will you
soc them carried or offered for sale.
But when taking trolley ride you will
certainly begin to notice them as soon
as you come anywhere within the
radius of the stock yards district.
They are carried by ranchmen, drov-
ers. shippers from the country, sales
men and commission men Of the yards.
1t is probable they are more for
practical use than for ornament. They
seem we'll suited to the purpose OF
fat hogs and lazy steers in
the pens when the animals are being
to prospective buyers. And
then the crook on the end is big
enough to admit of holding recall
citrant sheep very handily by 1t. The
stock yards cane is, therefore, an in
stitution in itself, and if you want to
see how gracefully it is carried and
to what good uses it may be put take
a ride out Halsted street and over
among the pens.-Chicago Chronicle.

Shooting Scrape.

John Carrico was on trial before
Judge Don Carlos this afternoon,
charged with shooting at Joe Hallett
last Wednesday on Mustang creek.
Carrico and Hallett both live on the
Jim Conley place and have had troub-
lie about the stock running in the
field. On the day mentioned the two
men met in the field, and the story as
we have it, is that Hallett opened on
Carrico with stones and Carrico re-
piled with Winchester shooting at
him three times but without either
shot taking effect. A number of the
residents of that neighborhood are in
the commissioner's'cour as witnesses.

An Enormous Thermometer.
A giant thermometer is being placed
in the ground at Winchester, England,
by Col. Knight. The great instrument
is 70 feet in length and is to be used
for taking the earth's temperature A
shaft was sunk 70 feet In the ground
and then scaffolding erected at the
mouth of the shaft. The scaffolding
was higher than the thermometer,
which had to be hoisted to the perpen-
dicular by means of steam cranes and
then dropped gently into the 70-foot
shaft. The work has progressed SO
far without accident and will be ac-
complished, it is hoped, with no in
jury tn the great instrument. The
largest thermometer ever made previ-
Gus to the one constructed for Col.
Knight was thar made By Forbes, who
built one measuring nearly 40 feet in
length. This was considered a great
accomplishment, and the Forbes ther-
mometer became one of the curiosi-
ties of science. The one now con-
structed for Col. knight, however, is
so much higher that the Forbes ther-
mometer is no longer considered
large. With the new thermometer the
tempera ture of the earth can be taken
at twice the depth it has been possible
to take 1t heretofore, and the records
obtained will be of unusual value to
science.-Chicago Evening News.

Pitching Quoits.

Quoits is game that is seen largely
among the working classes. Off in the
mining districts, in the neighborhood
of large building contracts or at the
river side, group of men playing
quoits is common sight. 1t requires
fair degree Of strength and quickness
and has peculiar fascination for the
player. A fattened ring of iron is to
be tossed over an iron stake, from
which the player staaSs distance Of
from 25 to rs feet. There are two
stakes used, and generally two or four
players take part. The game is not
of much importance, but it has existed
for centuries, and its simplicity
horseshoes being used when the reg
ular quoits cannot be had--will always
give it certain popularity-N. Y.

Individual Odor.

Every human being has specific
odor of his own. according to A. Bethe,
In the Archiv der Gesammten Physi-
oiogie, by which he can be recognized
not merely by dogs but by persons
With sensitive organs Of smell. The
case is mentioned of man who, blind
folded, could pick out each individual
in company of 20 by his odor. The
smell is not born with us, but devel-
ops gradually till the age of puberty,
after which it remains unchanged.
Members of family have kind Of
common odor, which persists even
when they have lived apart for long
time.-N. Y. Sun.

Three Layer. of Atmosphere.

1t appears that in the atmosphere
there are practically three distinct cur.
rents of air, the first lying at an eleva.
tion of from 900 to 1900 meters, the
second at from 1900 to a, 600 meters
and the upper one at from 5000 to
5000 meters above the surface of the
earth These are, to an extent, separate
currents, flowing each with it's own
velocity. AT the bottom of each of the
layers the stratus clouds are formed,
and at the top of each Of the layers CO.
our the cumulus clouds This suggests
that the stratus originate at the bottom
of q moving current and the cumulus at
The top Il is probable, then. that the
stratus owe their origin to the difference
In velocity and temperature of the two
layers. while the cumulus are formed

Uncle Toms Cabin Chair.

Among the many things associated
with the memory of Harriet Beecher
Stowe is the chair occupied by her while
writing the initial chapters of "Unole
Toms Cabin. " Mrs. Stowe, accom-
panied by Rev. Lyman Beecher, her ia
ther, was visitor at Batavia, o., many
years ago, at the home of Judge Owen
+. Fishback During all the hours of
her visit and while writing she always
occupied this plain poplar chair. After
Mrs. Stowe rose to fame with her book
the chair was preserved aud handed
down as part Of history from Mrs.
Fishback to Lou Buerkle, in whose
possession it now remains The back of
the chair has become broken off, and
all the Stats are broken out of the back.
The color of the chair was black. They

neoted with this plain and unassuming

Indifferent as to the Kind.

He was fragile youth and didn't
dance all the dances.
"Let's sit it out, f." he said to his pretty
partner.
"Where?" she asked.
"On the stairs"
So they went up little way and sat
down.
"Wh.why, what's the matter, Mr..
Stackpole?" cried the fair young girl,
for the young man had hastily risen
and was gasping for breath. He could
not reply. His face was lived. His eyes
were rolled up, and with one shaking
hand he clawed feebly at the skirts of
his Tuxedo.
"What kind of an attack is it?" she
gasped.
At this question his voice came back
to him.
"What difference does that maker"
he harshly growled. Then, without a
word of apology, he dashed up the
stairs and flung himself into the mems
courtroom.

who canvased the stairs had carelessly
left standing on its head?-Cleveland

stonewall Jackson at Chapultepec.
The infantry suffered terribly. 1t was
impossible to advance along the narrow
track, and when the guns were ordered
up the situation was in no way better
ed. Nearly every horse was killed or
wounded. A deep ditch, cut across the
road, hindered effective action, and the
only position where reply to the enemy's
fire was possible lay beyond this obsta.

Jackson managed to lift one gun across
by hand, but his men became democrat
lied. They left their posts.
The example of their lieutenant,
walking up and down on the shot swept
road and exclaiminacalmly: "There is
no danger, see? am not hit, failed to
inspire them with confidence. Many
had already fallen. The infantry, with
the exception of small escort, which
held its ground with difficulty, had dis.
appeared, and General Worth, observ-
ing Jackson's perilous situation, sent
him orders to retire. He replied it was
more dangerous to withdraw than to
stand fast, and if they would give him
90 veterans he would rather attempt
the capture of the breastwork. Hen

Chinese Drugs,

The employees in the office of the ap-
praiser of customs were busy examin-
ing shipment of Chinese medicines,
and the place smelled like fertilizer
factory.
There were the usual number Of dried
snakes, the looks of which would be
certain to kill or cure any intelligent
patient. There were also number Of
plump lizards. spitted on rods and ex-
banded with slips Of bamboo till they
rSsembled tennis raokets; lot OF "sea
horses" long, slender fish, with a
head like horse and a prehensile tail !;
bundles Of centipeds flattened out and
pasted on sticks; cans full of preserved
polliwogs and angleworms and many
other curious panaoeas, each Of which
smelled worse than the other. There
were pills as large as prunes, hand
somely decorated; roots and "yarbs" OF
many kinds, which would paralyze q
Quaker doctor, and boxes and bottles Of
unknown mixtures which would para
lyze anybody.
The 20 separate and distinct smells
Of the town Of Cologne are nothing a.
compared to the odors arising from
about 500 worth of Chinese medicine,
which made some of the men handling
the stuff sick. Foul smell seems to be a
requisite in most medicines, and if the
beneficial effects of medicine are pro.
portionate to it's odor the medicines of
the Chinese should be the best in the
world.-Portland Oregonian.
