Peculiar Design of n Dancing Mas
ter's Monument.
One of the best-known dancing mas
ters in eastern Connecticut few years
ago was Gurdon Cady. He was one of
the best fddlers and prcmpters in the
state No festive occasion where dane
ing was a feature could be carried out
in fashion without Mr.. CAdy to superin-
tend the figures. He lived in Central
village, in Flainfeld, all his life,
ard accumulated considerable proper
ty, says the New York Times.
Before Gurdon Cady died he had a
monument built under his own imme
date Instructions This stands over
his burial place in the pretty village
cemetery in Central. He gave the
sculptor the directions for marking the
stone, and sat and played his faporite
airs in. the graveyard while the men
were at work. Day after day, as tie
lettering and figures were being chs
eled into the granite, Cady would ap-
take out his violin. tune up. and then
play ARKANSAS Traveller" Money
Musk" "McCloud's Reel" or "The Dew
IFS Dream" as his fancy prompted:
The stone, when completed, was of
unique design. On one side, is pictured
a COW, above and beneath which are
the words: ''My First Jersey Cow.
Record Lbs. and q Of Butter from
13 Quarts of Milk" On.the reverse side
of the stone Mr.. Cady's' favorite violin
is de,ineated on the granite. Over the
picture are the words: "All ready, Mr.
Cady:" The violin is then represented,
with the words: "At Rest" beneath.
The other sides of the stone pillar
bear the family obituaries. in the usual

AMONG THE wHEELMEN.

Eleven of the leading bicycle fac
tories will turn out chainless wheels for
1898.
Australia will send a representative
to the international championships of
1898, at Vienna.
Michael, the little cycling wonder,
rides bicycle with 26-inch front
wheel and 2S-inch rear wheel.
The bicycle baggage question was set
tied in France, simply by the minister
of public works issuing an order to the
railroad companies, directing them to
remove from their schedules and rates
all mention of bicycles.
Some silly fellow, or else he is joker,
asserts that bicycle riders should al
ways eat tomatoes after an exhausting
ride. A small piece, he says, acts Like
magic, taking away the tired feeling al
most instantly. Nonsense! Millions of
people eat tomatoes habitually, and no
one has vet discovered any magical eff
feet therefrom.

An eminent Italian physician, curl
Gus to observe the effect of fatigue on
cyclists, recently examined "a men who
had ridden 80 miles in two hours and a

to the hearing, in nearly every case it
was defective, though it became normal
again after two or three hours rest.

ABOUT BEING GRACEFUL.

Trifes continually give US away. The
things we do with intention we may do
well, but the involuntary acts betray
our limitations. A perfectly graceful
woman is graceful in every move-in
the poise of her head, in her walk, the
way she sits and uses her hands.
AS to sitting, some women fall into
their chairs, like badly jointed and
springless dolls. A sensitive, graceful
woman sits gently, unbending with a
smooth motion until she has settled
safely. She can also get up from her
chair and reach the door without in
dulging in any of the jerky and awk-
ward mistakes some women make.
If there is turn in the walk stop
with all the weight on the foot in ad-
vance, resting only the toe of the rear
foot on the ground, then turn smoothly
around by transferring the weight to
the other foot, making the turn entirely
upon the balls of the feet, with the
heels scarcely touching the floor. This
turn is rarely seen practiced, yet it is
very easy and few minutes work at
it will render one expert.
In getting up from a chair 80 wom-
en- out of 100 shift their weight from one
foot to the other and rise with the
weight on the wrong foot. The proper
way is to rest the weight on one foot
while sitting, holding the other lightly
on the floor. Then press down hard
on the foot which already bears the
weight and rise, standing for an instant
on the same foot to get the balance be-
fore starting off freely and lightly.

Remarkable Magnetic Developments.


Recent French experiments have de-
veloped the curious and unexpected fact
that certain persons possess magnetic
polarity-that is, they act as magnets,
having north and south poles. Such a
person, when completely undressed and
placed near a sensitive gaivanometer.
will, when turned on vertical axis,
cause DETECTION first in one direction
and then in the opposite, just as mag
net would. All persons do not possess
this polarity. Prof. Murani, an Italian,
upon whom the experiment was tried,
exhibited this phenomenon, and it was
found that his breast corresponded to
a north pole and his back to a south
pole.

REVIEW OF SPECULATION.
Increased Participation By the Public
Has Been the Feature.

New York, Dec. 3O.-Bradstreet's
weekly review of the stock market to-
morrow will say: Increased participa-
ton by the public has been the princi-
pal feature. Commission houses have
been active in the market, and while a
great deal of profit taking has undoubt-
eddy occurred, the accession of new
purchasers Of securities for specula-
tive purposes has been continuous.
Fears that the market was culminat-
ing for the time being have found eX-
preston, but on the whole the bullish
temper of the street and public is I'M
diminished. The favorable factors of
the situation, such as the volume OF
money in the country and the conitin-
uance of increasing railroad earnings,
were supplemented this week by a rise
in grain prices, due largely to increased
foreign demands for u breadstuffs.
Among the other incidents which tends
to sustain speculative confidence is the
fact that a general movement seems to
be or foot mons railroad companies
to insist upon the maintenance of the
full tariff rates after Jan. 1. There are
also intimationS of deals" and coming
dividends, which will have a good eff
feet on the position of various proper
ties, while above all is the dea that
while the course of the market in the
last fortnight has evidently been in the
nature of q. discounting of the January
investment demand, the latter will still
have sufficient force to carry securities
to a higher level, irrespective of what
the growth and widening of the specu-
lative spirit may accomplish in the
same direction. The London market
has been more or less of a holiday char
acter, but American stocks were
stronger there, and the foreign partici-
patton was mainly on the bull side. In
fact, the fortnightly settlement ON the
stock exchange there disclosed excep-
tfonany large long holdings of our Sc
curities.
In our W market the activity of
leading interests in supporting and
advancing their securities has not been
wanting, though to give variety to the
market some of the professionals
showed a disposition during the week
to AXE the bear side for a turn. I'm
der existing conditions, and in view of
the revived interest of the public, pro-
fessional estimates of the outlook gen.
orally point to a continuance of the
rise in prices for both stocks and bonds,
tempered, perhaps, by setbacks as real
izing temporarily gains in the ascend
ency or the over-bought state of the
market invites reactions.

CATTLE INDUSTRY
BETTER PRICES AND INCREASE
IN THE SALES.
Average Price Was $50 Per Head and
23o,285 Head Were Marketed
Conditions During the Year.

Helena, Mont, Dec. 30.-The price of
Montana cattle has averaged 5 per cent
higher than during any season pre-
viously in the history of the state, ac-
cording to the report of the state live
stock commission, just submitted to
Governor Smith. The number shipped
outside the state during the season of
1898 was lis, 2S5, and 60, 900 were killed
for home consumption, making the o N
sumption of Montana cattle this year
$50, 2S5.
The average price received was $39 a
head, a material advance ove last
years average price. During the year
the Montana inspectors recovered 16, 05S
strays, worth 1855, 900, of which $227,-
943.90 was paid through the Montana
Stock Growers association.
One of the special features of the
business in the 1898 season was the
sharp advance in stock cattle. While
the advance in stock cattle was 40 per
cent, or over 1897, there was only an
advance of 8 per cent in beef cattle.
The big advance in stock cattle was
due to the demand for feeders that de-
veloped early in the season. Owing to
the high price of young stock, fewer

ing last season thar ever before. The
stock commissioners say only $4,000 cat
tie were shipped into the state during
the year, a falling off of 10 per cent, as
compared with importations in 1897.
While the shipments of cattle fell
short during the year, the board antici-
pate hat the shortage next year will
be even more pronounced. The ship
ments were made greater this year
from the fact that a number of large
cattle outfits went out of business!
cleaning out their range stock com
pletely. For that reason shipments
were heavier than they would have
been under natural conditions. The
commissioners recommend a change in
the bounty laws OF the state. They
say it is the unanimous opinion of
stockmen that the bounty on coyotes
should be either taken off altogether
or materially ,educed, as the coyotes are
responsible for very little loss. The
present bounty, they insist, is not large
enough for wolves and should be in
creased to SIS a head. While wolves do
practically all the damage to stockmen,
rs per cent of bounty claims filed
against the state are for coyotes.

consequently the convalescents were
entirely without much needed fresh
beef, making the duty of bringing the
men to the United States in an i'm
proved condition a very difficult mat
ter.
In my inspection of the Fourth
United States volunteer infantry at
Jacksonville, recently, I observed the
same odor and taste upon the fresh
beef. but not so marked, and at Camp
of Sixth United States volunteer in
fantry at Chickamauga ] also, at sew
eral inspections, observed it markedly.
/ there inspected a lot of beef Just is
sued to that regiment and while 1T
looked we'll, il was of a Sickening odor,
like a human body dead of disease and
injected with preservatives, and when
cooked was quite u~npalatable, conse-
quently, likely to prove an efficient
cause Of ill-health. The men COM
planned of its insipid and mawkish
flavor, that high seasoning could not
conceal.
Believing that the commissay de-
partment has been imposed upon by
the misdirected commercial spirit of
persons furnishing fresh beef, / respect
fully recommend that h matter be in

TARDY INVESTIGATION.
War Department Will Look Into the
Beef Question.

Washington, Dec. 30.-As a result of
the issue between General Miles and
General Egan, concerning the quality
of the beef supplied the army, and on
the written request of General Egan,
the war department tonight issued a
special order for the assembling of a
board of officers in Washington on next
Thursday at 10 a. m. to inquire into
he general subject of the quality of
the beef supplies, and particularly as
to the responsibility for the loss of
500. 600 pounds of refrigerated beef sent
to Puerto Rico. when the expedition
under General Miles was there.
Detail for the board: Colonel Charles
Fl. Alden, assistant surgeon general
Colonel James NJ. Moore, assistant
uuartermaster general; Colonel Francis
L. Gunther, Fourth United States
artillery: Captain L. c. Scherer, as
sistant adiutant general, recorder.
The 800, 600 pounds of beef referred to
was shipped from Newport News to
Puerto Rico about the time that word
came from General Miles that he had
supplied himself with fresh beef, taken
on the island. The refrigerated beef
made the trip to Puerto Rico and back,
hut by the time it reached Montauk
Point it is understood to have spoiled,
owing to the delay and consequent lack
! of refrigerating material.

Eraternai Folly.

What folly for a so-called frater-
nal Order to offer a plan of in
surance at less than half the cost
indicated by the mortality tables,
and not only that, but pretend that
the certificate will become paid up
some time on this low cost basis
and finally, to clinch the bargain,
throw in a ''gravestone," forty acres
and mule" or some other old
thing, just to make it appear that
one particular Order can defy the
laws of both God and man and
make one dollar do what would in
any other organization require three
or four. Verify the managers of
some so-called fraternal organiza-
tions seem to think the people are
all fools, and to the extent to which
their fake concerns are patronized
would indicate that they are not
far wrong. There seems, indeed, to
be no limit to human credulity, but
there should be some legal limita-
tions established in all the states
that would choke off or stamp out
these concerns that thrive wholly
upon the credulity or ignorance of
the unsophisticated.-The Mutual

J. w. Wright, editor of the fra
ternal paper, Our Goat, published
in Salt Lake City, paid Dayton a
visit last Sunday, accompanied by
Recorder Quirk, of Gold Hill
Lodge. Mr.. Wright's paper is de-
voted to the interest of fraternal
insurance, and he is personally
booming the Maccabees, but his
idea is to educate the people up
to the fact that fraternal insurance
when brought up to the point where
a legal standard is required is far
superior to and much cheaper than
insurance in the old line compa-
MES. Mr.. Wright's efforts to have
all beneficiary societies adopt a
safe and legal assessment rate be-
fore they are recognized, should be
aided by all, and as it has been ad-
mitted by the hest 6gurers that the
A. o. U. w. has the lowest safe
rate it will take convincing argu-
ments to demonstrate that the as
sessment plan insurance organiza-
ton that is based on a lower rate
than the Workmen is a very good
institution to stay out of.
