Several surgeons of the city are spe-

tackled by her husband in Santa Fe two
weeks ago and scratched on the right
hand with a knife. The physician who
was consulted when the hand began to
swell advised the constant application
of a fiaxseed poultice. The symptoms
became so alarming that friends of the
patient brought her to Denver. Last
evening the hand of the patient was
lanced in many places, and treatment
was begun to prevent the spread of
blood poisoning

st. Louis, December ga conference
convened in the st. James hotel to-day
in response to a call issued by Jo A.

Chairman Parker said that the confer

call to representatives of all branches
of the Populist party, but the fusion

Genius and Long Hair.

AS general rule-subject, like all
general rules, to exceptions-men of
genius have usually retained their hair
till death. Tennyson had ambrosial
locks. William Cullen Bryant became
bald on top of his head only in his ex-
treme old age, and even then he had
much hair on his head, while his
beard was volumiuous enough to cover
many laurelled heads. Longfellow
wore his hair to the end of his long
life. So did DIR. Holmes. Carlyle
had scraggly name. Washington,
Andrew Jackson and Calhoun were
hirsute to the end.
All artists are traditionally sup
posed to wear long hair, and so are
authors, especially poets. Several
authors now living, Parke Goodwin
and Edward Eggleston as examples,
have shocks that would shame hay
stack. Paderewski's hair is almost as
phenomenal as his musical perform
ances, and in all departments Of art
abundant HAIR is the usual il not the
necessary accompaniment of great
achievement.
Is there then a causative relation
between hair and genius? If so, is
lair the cause of genius or does genius
promote the growth of hair? Or is it
only that men of genius are too un-
conventional to wear pot-hats and in
hat way make themselves bald?-

Every race of mankind from the
days OF mythology have regarded
birds as the interpreters OF the will of
heaven or OF the gods. The robin
especially is protected from slaughter,
perhaps because of its pretty, conf
dent ways and bright eyes; maybe be-
cause OF the legend of the ''Babes in.
the Wood" In the sixteenth century
there were we'll authenticated in
stances OF robins covering the bodies
Of the dead with moss.
Whittier has embodied legend in
his verses. He tells that the robin
burned it's breast carrying the drops
Of water in its beak to relieve the an
guish of poor lost souls. Shake
speare in Cymbeline refers to the
robins habit of covering dead men,

No Cleaner or More wholesome Food In
the Market.

Having in mind the material oil
which the sausages are made, and
he manner of their manufacture,
men familiar with the trade did not
hesitate to declare it rs his opinion
that there is no cleaner or moro whole
some food in the market than that TO
be found in the general run OF sau.
SaRes.
More sausages OF the various kinds
made, are eaten in this country now
than ever before, and the production
Of sausages here amounts to hundreds
of thousands of tons annually. San-
sages are made in every city and con-
siderable town in the country; it may
be by comparatively small makers,
who combine sausaRe-making and sell
ing with the preparing and selling OF
other meats; by various concerns, some
small and some large, devoted exclu.
sively to sausage and by the
great slaughtering and packing estab-
lishments in which sausage-maklng
has been taken up practically within
ten years, but which are now the
largest producers Of all. There is ono
packing house in the country that
make $50, 900 pounds OF sausages daily,
and another that make almost, il not
quite, so many. Other large packing
establishments in various parts now
produce great quantities of sausages,
and there are sausage-makers engaged
solely in the business who turn out
from 20, 900 to 1000 pounds daily.
While enormous quantities of sau-
sages arc thus now turned out by the
greater producers, the number of the
smaller sausage makers still remain
very large. There are IN Greater New
York some thousands of men engaged
in sausage making, either solely, or
rs part of q business in prepared
meats, and employing each two OF
three to twenty hands, the aggregate
production of these smaller makers
being very large. Some of these sau-
sage. makers maintain complete plants,
others have their meats chopped for
them. There are in New York eight
or ten big chopping establishments
busy all the time, that are engaged
solely in chopping customers meat,
their customers being from among the
sausage-makers This is a condition
largely peculiar to New York, and due
here primarily to the value of space
and high rents. 1t is cheaper for
many of the sausage-makers to send
the meat they have to be chopped to a
chopping concern than it would be 10

ping of it themselves. This sausage
maker buys his meat of the nearest
accessible abattoir; there the parts
and kinds Of meat that he needs are
exposed for sale and no buys accord
ing to his wants. Some of the chop
ping establishments employ dozen
wagons. The chopper sends to the
sausage-maker for his meat to be
chopped, takes it away, chops it and
returns it. 1t might be say u hundred
pounds of beef and twenty FIVE pounds
of pork. The meat is worked sepa.
