NATURE AS ARMORER.
Rsady-Made Mall Coat Which Puzzles
the Lobster's EnsmIes


There are few departments of hui
man life where man has been so en-
tirely anticipated and at the same time
surpassed by the lower animals as in
the invention of armor, says the
Strand. His cunningest devices of the
mailed fish order were none of them
original. If you examine a fine and
FULLY developed suit of plate armor in
the form which 1t assumed at its high
est zenith in the fifteenth century you
will find that the trunk and limbs
were completely inclosed in a splendid
fitting jointed case Of iron plates, all
exquisitely polished. The suit as a
whole was a triumphant product of
the armorer's art. Yet If you look at
a Holsters tail you will see at a
glance that all these clever devices of
mans imagining had been invented
and patented long before by nature.
and that the elaborate workmanship
Of the Plantagenet craftsman who
cased knight and horse for the battle
field or the tournament in g%listening
metal was but a poor imitation of the
tnefable skill with which the unheed-
ed crustaceans of the time protected
every vulnerable portion of their bod
les from the assaults and attacks of
their submarine enemies.

FLOWER.

at is a surprising fact" says Prof
Houston, that in my travels in al
parts of the world, for the last ten
years l have met with more people
having used Green's August Flower
than any other remedy, for dyspepsia

constipation. l find for tourists and
statesmen, or for persons filling Office
positions, where headaches and genera

Prince Henry, the kaiser's brother,
even did not come out of all the re-
joicings in his honor at Berlin with
out ~trespassing on the emperor's do
main. When the kaiser and he were
driving down Inter den Linden shouts
of Long live Prince Henry" were
heard on all sides. William ii. keen
ly felt the oversight. Matters were
not improved when the brother, quite
beside himself with joy at this enthusi-
astic reception in his homeland, re-
moved his headpiece and waved 1t
Justify in the air. Now. according to
strict Hohenzollern etiquette, 1t is
against all rules and regulations for
any German prince to salute when
driving with the emperor. Prince
Henry forgot all about this on the spur
OF the moment. By his brothers COM
mand he "a reminded Of 1t by the
grand master of ceremonies somewhat
later.

women's Competition with Men.

franklin Giddings, professor Of So
GEOLOGY in Columbia university, says:
l do not admit that in early times men
had all the rights and women all the
duties. How "a we say this. if we
acknowledge that the bread-winner in
the main has been the man during
many generations past-in fact, al
ways, except in the very earliest
times? AS | understand the matter,
one of the wishes-perhaps We ought
not to say demands-of women in re-
cent years has been to enter freely
into competition with men. So l doubt
il we can say that the duties all be-
long, or have eve belonged. to the
women. The duties once were differ
ent from what they are today. That
seems to be the fact of the matter.
They are distributed differently to
day"

FATAL COLORS.

1t has been proven that soldiers are
hit during battle according to the color
of their dress, in the following order
red is the most fatal. Austrian gray
is the least fatal. The proportions are
red twelve, rife green seven, brown
six, Austrian, bluish-gray, five. There
is one other color, not mentioned,
more fatal and that is the pallor OF
weakness. If it has commenced to
paint its deadly hue upon your cheek,
and the stomach weakens and life
seems not worth living, go to the drug
glst and obtain a bottle of H%ostetter's
Stomach Bitters. 1t will give you life
and energy. 1t does this by making the
stomach strong and the blood pure. 1t
is unequalled for such disorders as in
digestion, dyspepsia, or malaria, fever
and ague.

Prof. Beecher, curator of the Peabody
museum at Yale. has undertaken a
task never before attempted by any
institution-that is, the restoration of
the skeleton Of a dinosaur. The skele-
ton in question is one of the giant fos-
sils collected by the late Prof. Marsh,
and vas sent to the museum in about
100 large boxes. Owing to the great
number OF parts, the work Of restora-
ton will be both difficult anS ~xacting
and will test the skill Of Prot. 3eecher
and his assistants. who will be stu
dents, to the utmost. When restored,
the dinosaur will stand twentv-aye
rect high and will be fully thirty feet
long. 1t will occupy the center OF one
Of the big exhibition rooms and will
probably be in place for public inspec-
ton next commencement.

SHE WAS ABSORBED.
An AnssinE Anscdots of Mary Sc
arviIlA the Authnr

An AnssinE Anscdots of Mary Som
s~rviIls. the Author.
An amusing anecdote is told Of
Mary Fairfax Somerville, the famous
writer and scientist. While at her
work, either In research or in writing,
she would become SO intent upon it
that she was utterly oblivious OF her
surroundings. This power of concen-
tration grew upon her so hat her fam
lily often laughingly referred to it, and
1t led to some very funny incidents.
One day her friend, Harriet Martineau,
the authoress and political economist,
went to visit her. Mr.. Somervills re-
ceived the visitor, and explained that
1t would be almost impossible to
make her presence known, as his wife
was writing. However, he led the guest
into the roo where Mrs. Somerville
was busily engaged at a table. Sew
eral members of the family, and some
friends were present, but they werA
talking without fear of disturbing the
writer. Mr.. Somerville stood by the
table. opposite to his wife, and began,
in a loud voice. to address her; but as
she paid no attention to him, he be-
gan to use abusive language, calling
her lazy; saying that she was not in
d%ustrious. and adding man things
that kept the company laughing, for
they all enjoyed the joke. Everything
he said, however, fell upon deaf ears,
and Mrs. Somsrville worked on, utter
ly regardless Of his presence. Sud
denly he ceased speaking, and the
unwonted silence made her look up.
Pardon me-" she said, in the quaint
est surprise. did you say something

BANK DEPOSITS.

Total ......S15, 600,21T S33 BOOT
These four states show an increase
Of considerable more than 100 per cent
in the total amount OF their bank de
posts within five years, gaining from
SIS, coo, 900 to 1873. 100000.
What do o think has brought
about this wonderful degree of pros
perity? 1t is largely attributed and di-
rectly traceable to the increase in the
value of lead, copper and wool. Great
er industrial activity has enhanced the
demand for and the value of the two
minerals. The policy of protection, ex-
tended under the Dingley tariff to
American wool, has more than doubled
the value OF that product to the Ameri-
can sheep farmer.
With these facts before them, can it
be possible hat the voters in Colorado,
Idaho, Montana and Wyoming will do
anything burt drop their ballots into the

COUNCIL MEETING

also find that the Windsor bar is en-
titled to pay for hack hire in the sum
of 81.
When the committee had made these
findings Mr.. w. C. Hussey, claim agent
for the Union Pacific Railroad COM
pany, made the following proposition
to your committee, viz: That his COM
pany would pay the several tiremen for
their loss of time, provided the City of
Laramie would pay for medical attend
ance, medicines and all other bills.
This proposition seemed so liberal to
your committee that it was at once ac-
cepted by them, and your committee
recommends that this proposition be
accepted by the city. Your committee
further recommends that all claims
against the city be proved in the same
manner as any other claim. All of
which is hereby respectfully submitted.

After reading the report, Mr.. Crum-
rine made a supplemental report stat
ing hat John Engstrom, a member OF
the department, had appeared before
him since the meeting referred to and
put in a claim for eight days at $1.9O
per day. He believed the claim was
lust and asked to be allowed to certify
to it.
John D. Knoche. a section hand who
was injured at the fire while helping
the firemen, appeared before the coun-
ell and put in a claim for three weeks
and two days sickness. AS he was not
a member Of the department, he was
informed that the council could do
nothing for him; but the members of
the committee volunteered to help him
present his claim to the Union Pacific
claim agent, who will be in Laramie
today.
On motion Of Mr.. Brands the re-
port of the committee was adopted and
the committee discharged.
The mayo invited the members of
the council to join him in an inspection
of the street, the springs, the cemetery
and the park Thursday afternoon, as
there were several matters demanding
attention. which could not be intelli-
gently acted upon unless the body be-
came familiar with the needs.
On motion of Councilman Miller the
city clerk was instructed to advertise
for bids for street sprinkling, to be
~opened at the next meeting Of the coun-
Gil.
After some informal discussion OF
the houses of prostitution, which seem
to be multiplying and spreading all
over the city, the council adjourned.

1t is customary to carry the memory
Of our friends in our heads, but some
of the cadets have lately taken to
carrying the memory of their friends
on top of their heads. Perhaps not ex-

make beautiful autograph albums, as
some of the boys have found out, and

this hat-writing is only a fad it will be
interesting in future days to take down
the hat and enjoy the memories arous-
