Small Men Live Longest.

One of the most interesting and trustworthy statements in respect to old age is the report on the habits Of centenarians, made some years ago by a commission appointed by the British Medical association. It seems that most of these people were small or me- tlum of stature and spare habit ol body; the voice was rather feeble; most of them had lost their teeth. but nearly all enjoyed good digestion, one old man of 9S. clergyman placing his hand on the organ in question and saying that he never knew what it was to have a stomach. Nearly all of them had enjoyed uninterrupted good health, and many had never known what 1t was to be sick They were all very moderate in eating. most 3f them using little animal food Few indulged at all in intoxicating drinks, and those only in notable moderation. They took considerable outdoor exercise and nearly all possessed tke good Datured, placid disposition.

LIEUTENANTS REMAINS.
Found Thirty-Two Years After His Death
 in Battle With Indiana.


 in Battle With Indiana.
 Denver Cor. New York Sun: For thirty-two years the bones of Lieuten- ant Fred H. Beecher of Forsyths Scouts, were buried in the sands of the Arickare. All that time has left has now been recovered and will be sent to Brooklyn relatives, for whom the search was made. Previous eff forts to locate the last resting place of the officers who fell in that desper- ate encounter with the Cheyenne h. dianS under Roman Nose were fruit less. A few years after the Lieuten- ants death an unsuccessful search was made under the direction of his uncle, Henry Ward Beecher. The story of the bravery of General Forsyth's little band of scouts has been told many times and the naming of the sandy isle at the mouth of the Arickare after Lieutenant Beecher will always recall this fight, famous in Colorado history, and almost parallel to that of the Lit tie Big Horn General Forsyth, Lieu, tenant Beecher and forty-seven men were ssss ounded in 1867 by nearly 1000 In. ns. They defended them selves as best they cou at a place that has since been named Beecher island. Two men, Charles Christy and Fletcher Vilotte got through the h. dian lines and finally brought relief. Lieutenant Beecher was fatally wounded and died half an hour after being shot. Christy and Vilotte form ed part of the burying squad. They were present at the dedication of a monument on Beecher island recently and found the grave in which Beecher was buried
 Lieut. Frederick Henry Beecher was a son of Rev. Charles Beeeher and nephew of Rev Henry Ward Beecher. Lieut.. Beecher was born at New Dr. leans, June 22, 1S41.t He was gradu- ated at Bowdoin in 1862 and immedi-s ately enlisted as private in the vol unteer army. He was in all the bat ties of the Army of the Potomac from Fredericksburg to Gettysburg, was twice severely wounded and was pro- noted to the rank of first lieutenant. In 1864 he received a commission in the regular army and in July, 1866, be- came first lieutenant in the Third United States infantry General Ho- ratio c. King of Brooklyn, said that he thought that Lieutenant Beecher's body was removed by the soldiers at the time of his death.

FAIR NOTES,

A machine that attracted great deal
of attention at the fair was one for
shucking corn. This is something most
people had never before heard Of. The
machine was run by a threshing machine
engine and was about the size Of power
corn shelter. The corn they we're put
ting through it Of course was grown this
year and was poor stuff with only few
nubbins, so that it could not give DEM
Onstration of what it might do. How
ever the corn from the shock, or in bum
dies was fed into the machine like wheat
into a threshing machine, and the ears
came out in one place and the fodder,
stalks andiall, chopped up fine 80 that
stock would eat nearly everything, came
out at another. Probably if there is de-
mand and sale for this machine a shelter
will later be attached to it, so that it will
take corn from the shock and shuck and
shell it.
Perhaps the department in which was
the most surprising array Of exhibits was
the fine arts department. There were
many pictures which show that this Sec
tion OF Kansas is not without artists by
any means. Most of them are from
Hutchinson, too, Some Of the best Of
these were from the brush OF Mrs. Dr.
Justice. She had five beautiful oil paint
ings. There were two landscapes Of
especial merit There was one pastel
moonlight scene representing two rough
riders on the trail which presents the
most striking effect of all the pictures in
the gallery. 1t was said to be the work Of
Miss Lawson. Mr.. Rudesill had some
very fine water color specimens and also
some sketches worthy Of note. There
we're also other real works of art from
artists whose names were not learned, as
the entry tags showed no names,
If a criticism is to be offered on the
iair or ts management 1t would be that
undue attention is given to the racing
department. Considered from stand
point Of the benefits to the community,
this is the least important department in
the whole fair. And yet it is no doubt
the one that does most TO draw crowds
and increase the gate receipts. The
fair has to meet expenses and the man
agement no doubt figures that by boom
ing the races they can get the necessary
funds better than in any other way
Nevertheless the usual complaint that
is heard concerning the old time fairs
that were held, is that they all went to
races and interest in the other depart

An official temperature OF 10S or
40 In the shade, which was reached
m u in several central
v,.,..,,. states during the
recent hot spell,
means n heat running as high as 1875
for people engaged in their daily vo-
cations. The hot blast was like the
waves from eonhagrOtion, every OBJ
ject touched was burning hot, and
the strain upon the nervous system
was intense. II such weather came
every year for several weeks 1t would
be necessary to modify habits to
tropical conditions, One store In

explosive energy. 1t felt elsewhere

Any careful observer must have
noted how much more popular recre-
Am..,oon.1.. alton has OF late be-
come among the
'"S """ 10 ri"S' American people.
The Saturday hOlf-hollday is more
general and vacations are longer and
more INDUCED in by all classes. Andin
addition TO these, excursions and days
OIL" are more frequent and popular
than formerly, says the Philadelphia
Press, Some one "handy at figures"
has estimated that 100000 in the
United States will take vacation this
summer, and that on an average each
one will spend ten dollars. This would
make a total of $lOO,OOO,OOO spent for
rest and recreation. II probablethat
the figures are too small, Leaving out
the rich and leisure class, to whom
time and money is no object, at least
one In each seven OF an the people In
this country will enjoy vacation this
summer, extending from Ave to 80
days, This would mean q rest for over
12,OOo,OOo people, and II they spend
only Si2 each, about $i5O,OOO 900 will be
used in gaining rest and recreation.
1t is time and money well spent. No
investment made in the whole year
brings in larger returns. II is one Of
the causes which are adding percepti-
bly, to the span Of life. The lengthen-
ing Of this span has become SO evident
that a revision Of the old tables of the
expectation OF human life has been
made necessary.

THE reports Of the secretary Of the

National bank notes has increased $780,

an increase CT about fifty cents per capita.
The bankers are contributing to pros

OF course they are; incidentally they are

prosperity by contracting the circula-

A pleasant accompaniment OF the
hot weather this summer Is the in
creasing tendency on the part Of city
tcamstcrs to provide their horses with
head coverings. The really fashion
able thing in equine millinery, says a
metropolitan exchange, Is walking
hat Of straw, with n high crown and
holes in the brim through which the
horses ears protrude, Some Of The
teamsters who have feminine friends
and sense Of humor have provided
their animals with trimmed hats gen
erously decorated with chiffon, bright
colored ribbons or gaudy quill. The
hats themselves are considerable pro-
lection against the sun, and when, as
Is usual, n wet sponge Is placed in the
crown, the horse can do hiswork with
out danger and in greater comfort 1t
is a sensible innovation.
