JIMMY NnCHAEL's TooTHPICK.
He Lost II Ina the Race, and Was
Much Worried.
Frnm Nd Nav York Ionrnal.

From the New York Journal.
If Jimmy Michael had lost Saturday
nights race with the Frenchman Taylore,
he could have blamed only his toothpiok
He lost it, and for few minutes the issue
was in doubt 1t may be better to say that
if the Rareblt had moi lost his toothpick
he would have beat Taylore further.
Trainer Shafer saw the well-nigh fatal
accident and supplied the Welshman with
another quill in the nick of time.
No picture Of Michael as he spins
around the white circle, is accurate unless
the artist sticks quill toothpick between
the midgets teeth. 1t is always there when
Michael is speeding.
The diminutive cycle king says that he is
enabled to inhale just the right quantity
Of air when Ills jaws are brought together
upon the pick. and that it reminds him,
during the excitement of a contest to
breathe properly
On the ninth mile of Saturdays race
MichaePs heart stood in his throat as his
lung regulator fell under the tire of his
wheel. He could not have felt the absence
Of a pedal more. 1t made him nervous. 1t
ratified him. He brought his will to bear
upon the case, but it could not remove his
discomfort He whirled on for a half mile
without 1t and as he passed his trainer,
shouted:
"A toothpickp'
Shafer fumbled in his pocket in the ut
most CONSERVATION. He danced among the
track officials like an Indian and screeched
out high above the cheers Of the multi
tude that he must have toothpick He
finally got one. 1t was this little race saver
that was handed to the flyer as he flew
past at the beginning of the tenth mile.
Il feared that it was all over when |
dropped the toothpick," said Michael, after
the race. II have been using this method
of regulating my breath so long that when

WHAT ROYALTY EATS.
GIimpses of the Dietary of Emperor
Francis Joseph.

Vienna Letter in Pail Mall Gazette.
The Emperor of Austria is a pious Cath
ole. who keeps as strictly to his fasts as
he does to his early rising. On such days
he abjures all meat and contents him
self with hsh--a dish that, like mutton, is
a rarity in Vienna-and various kinds of
omelets. His majesty takes his fish pref
erably with buttered potatoes. His cui-
sine is peculiarly Viennese, and it is only
at court and state dinners that the French
menu has any chance. The Vienna ktch-
en- is closely allied TO the German in the
simplicity and want of variety in the
dishes and in the "done-to-death" charac-
ter of the meats, but is decidedly more
tasty and inventive, ''Kaiserschmarrn
and the dumpling-like "Knoedel' having
a worldwide celebrity. His majesty. like
his subjects, prefers large helpings at the
sacrifice of variety, and has particular
weakness for a dainty sort called Frank
furter NIT Kreu." 1t may be called his
speciality.
In summer the so-called second break
fast is omitted, and the emperor contents
himself with the o'clock breakfast, con-
sisting of a cup of coffee and a little
katie aufiage" (sliced cold sausage, ham,
etc.). His majesty sticks to his desk for
the next seven hours with scarcely an in
or Observation-Disclosures, consisting of a
soup and a slice of roast. AT 2:S0 is a din
ner of six courses, comprising soup fish,
two roasts pudding and dessert. His ma
jesty likes beer, but partakes of both peer
and wine very sparingly. although the wine
is changed for each cover Liquors are
also served. The emperor drinks prefer
ably dark BaVarian beer; half a pint in
his quantum. When he mas risen from
the table, Kaiser Franz Joseph has finish
ed his eating for the day and touches moth
ing more, even when in the evening he
attends theater. He is in bed by 8 O'Clock
and to his regular moderate life he owes
undoubtedly his longevity and his splen-
did health and spirits.
That is how the emperor lives in winter,
but the arrangements must necessarily I'M
dergo alteration on every occasion when
state function takes place. Then the
splendor and lavlshness of the imperial
table knows no limit, and the fifteen COW
ers hide titbits from every nationality,
according to the tastes of his guests. But
his majesty is only at home when his table
is laden with the simple fare of the royal
burger" All the royal fruit and vege-
tables are grown in the country, except
when the time of the year absolutely COM
pels the purchase of these abroad. The
wines are mostly Austrian or Hungarian,
but also include Burgundes, Moselle, and
Rhine wines, and Spanish sorts and cham
payne. Next year at the jubilee exhibition
the emperor intends to have the dishes
cooked in the imperial kitchen sold in the
exhibition grounds. The public will thus
for a consideration" be able to enjoy the
piquant crumbs that fall from his ma
jestys table and sip the wines from the
royal cellars. The proceeds will go to
charitable purposes.

ST. LOUIS STAR PATIENT.
She Is a Woman with Many Incura-
Bile Ailments.
From the st. Louis Star

From the st. Louis Star
In the city hospital in ST. Louis there is
a patient who describes herself when she
was taken there as only piece of a wo-
man" No phrase could be found that
would so 1ttingly tell of her condition.
Her name is May Hardin, and although
she is only 80 years old, she looks like
woman of So and has more ailments and
injuries than any other patient ever re-
ceived in the city hospital.
She was carried to the hospital from
the city dispensary, having been picked
up in an unconscious condition on the
street At the hospital an examination
disclosed the fact that her feet were frozen
and that gangrene had developed to
such an extent that it would be necessary
TO amputate both feet TO save her life. 1t
was then that she pleaded that she was
only piece of a woman" and begged to
be allowed to die. The operation was
performed, however and now she is as
anxious to live as the healthiest man or
woman in the city.
An examination of the patient led to the
discovery that she was slightly demented,
she had lost the sight of one eye, her
right hand was crippled so badly as TO be
useless, one of her lungs is almost entire
ly gone, she has heart disease, her hear
ing is affected, she is addicted to the use

able ailment, has lost both legs from be-
low the knees All these troubles, she de-
clares, have come within the last five
years.
She was born in Decatur, ILL.,, and lived
there until she was 10. years old. The
poverty of her parents forced her to work
as a servant, but owing to her weak intel
lect she could never keep a place long.
She refused to tell what caused the loss of
her eye, though all of her other injuries
followed after that from street accidents
and exposure The only trace left of the
good looks she claims TO have once pos
sessed is I'm her remaining eye which is
said to be of remarkable beauty. The
only thing i'm prospect for her is the poor
house. But she wants 10 live.

THIS CAR is FOR OYSTERS.
BiyRIves to BE Transported to the
Interior in Their Native Element.


Interior in Their Native Element.
From The Kansas City Times.
A. e. Stilwell is not only President of a
railroad and a great many other things,
but it seems that he is an inventor as
well. The Pittsburg and Gulf passenger
train which left for Port Arthur last night
carried one car which not only did not
resemble any other car on the train but
which, in it's interior arrangements, was
different from any car ever built On its
side were large silver letters, making the
words, 'Stilwell oyster car"
Mr.. Stilwel had long noticed, as have
many other people, that sea fish and oys-
ters, after being brought from the ocean
to interior points lose a large share Of
that especial flavor which distinguishes sea
food. 1t was generally believed that this
loss Of flavor was due to the fact that the
fish and oysters were out of the salt water
so long, and so Mr. Stilwell set to work to
remedy the difficulty. He proposed TO do
this by bringing salt water fish and oys-
tiers to Kansas City in their native ele-
ment The car which left yesterday will
return in four days, and VIII bring the first
consignment of oysters and sea water AS
this is the first car of its kind ever built,
and is making its first trip, the experiment
will be watched with considerable inter
est
The inside of the car is eight feet wide,
four feet high, and thirtyfour feet long.
This space is divided into four compart-
ments, each of which has two ventilators
in the top, through which the oysters are
TO be loaded. and two unloading spaces in
the side. The floor and sides of the car are
constructed of three-inch white pine. They
are call1ed and pitched in the manner of
ships, the compartments being water tight.
The capacity of the car is 5000 gallons of
water, enough to accommodate a great
many bushels of oysters.
The car was built by the Pullman Car
Company, after designs by r. l.. Langtin,
chief draughtsman of the Pittsburg and
Gulf road. 1t is painted dark blue all the
lettering being silver. 1t presents a hand
some appearance, and will be run in the
passenger trains of the road.

stern Measures Adopted in Dealing
With the Natives.

With the Natives.
Paris. Jan. "A letter from an officer of
the Marchand expedition which, according
10 the authentic news received here, ar
rived al Raffa, in the Tambura district of
the Nile basin, on Sept. II, and was pro-
ceeding to occupy Rumbek, in the territory
of Bahrel Ghazeelpy, published in news
naper of Toulouse, says the French force
consists of % white men and 800 Senebal-
csc riflemen.
Describing the hardships endured, the
writer says: THE native carriers give
much trouble We seized them forcibly and
they attempted to escape at every oppor
tunity. We vainly shot or hanged those
who were recaptured. but others continued
to escape.
MANY were recaptured, but several sue
ceeded in getting away. We were obliged
TO enter villages with a few rifiemen and
seize all the men and women found there
in Sometimes the whole population fled.
We then burned a few huts which gener-
ally induced the natives to return. We
then seized the chief and compelled him
to give up the slaves to carry out or orr
ders.
This is the only way to deal with these
brutes whom we have seen quarrel over
