A CHAMPION EATER.
Takes Seventeen Pounds DC Beef at One
Sitting.

Sitting.
A. o. Wright, Of Madison, Wis, su.
peryisor Of Indian schools, tells an
interesting story to the New York
journal concerning the professional
leaters of the Sioux Indians on the
Devils Lake reservation in North Da-
kota.
The professional eater among the
Devils Lake Indians, according to
Supervisor Wright, pursues a recog-
I.nized profession which entities him
Ito distinction and eminence, meas
ured largely BY his capacity. The.
more capacity the more eminence and
distinction.
The Sioux at Devils Lake are q
hospitable people A guest must be
fed, and the table placed before him
must be bountifully supplied. Ifnot,
Fit as a gross violation Of Indian Ell
Equette, which subjects offenders to.
harsh criticism.
The obligations on the part Of the
guestsis equally binding. cry often
the latter is the unfortunate victim
of too much kindness. Il, however,
he should fail. to dispose Of all the
food placed before him his offense
would be as great as that of the host
whose larder failed to respond to the
demands Of prevailing social usage
among these Indians.
3 The capacity of some of these pro-
fessional eaters is phenomenal. They
are said to be carefully trained to
their calling, and the returns for their
services are certainly very remuner-
atiye to the Indian mind. One who
is about to make call and feels that
he will not be equal to the occasion,
secures a professional eater.
The latter secures for. his services
the food he devours and one dollar
In addition Supervisor Wright met
one Of these professional gentlemen
at Devils Lake, who had recently per-
formed the remarkable feat of eating
II pounds of fresh beef. Some doubt
is expressed here as to the possibil-
ity Of man eating 50 much meat ct
one sitting
Mr.. Wright told the officials, how
ever, that the story is vouched for by
Agent Getchell and Father Jerome,
the latter Catholic missionary at
Devils Lake. The supervisor added
that the Indian was extremel j modest,
amid the shower Of congratulations
bestowed upon him by friends and
admirers.

OSTRICH FEATHERS.

Ostrich feathers are exported chief
1y from South Africa, and IN very
much smaller quantities from thaa
Barbary States and Egypt They are
packed in large cases, which are COW
cred with canvas (Ssgunnies and se-
.curelE wired. They are sealed in such
manner as to suggest that they con-.
tain gold rather than articles Of mer-
chandise. As a matter Of fact, says
Chambers Journal, they are consid-
cred of such value as to be treated
IN certain respects like the yellow
metal. Freight IS charged, as on
specie, 50 much per cent. on their
value; in some instances the rate is
very high. The old catch, Which Is
heavier pound Of gold or a pound
of feathers~ does not, therefore, APP
ply IN this case, for freight ealeula-
tions are not made on the basis Of the
avoirdupois table. The Soudanese
evidently understand their business,
for their bundles are tied with aeeu-
perfuity Of twine; and, with their in
stinet for color, they add what ap-
pears to be perfectly unnecessary
wrapping Of gaudy paper, heavy with
gilt. The explanation Of this is sim
pie, for the string and the paper both.
add to the weight. Are they suffi-
ciently civilized to put the faulty
feathers in the lniddle?. the writer
asked. u reply, he was shown the !
eentersof a bundle where, neatly hid

feathers which no lady with proper
self-respect would care to see in her

Of the desert are just as wide. awake
as the London fruiterer who puts all

of the Soudanese is SO we'll known
that the market value Of their goods

THE IMPOSSIBLE cHINAMAN.
His Ideals Wholly Unlike Thoss to Which
We Are Accustomed.

L NAsN N~SS 49, SSN&AeNA -
The Chinese regard the arts OF war
and of mechanics as degrading, and
literature only as a pursuit worthy
the supreme attention Of the supe-
Irior man. Their etiquette and po-
Lite bearing are generally difused
through all ranks Of society, and are
far more exaeting, decided and prac-
tically effective than those Of any
western nation. The universal
knowledge Of these, and the particu-
lar attention paid to them, smooth
down in a remarkable manner, scarce
| " realizable in the west, the asper-
tiles and conflicts Of life. Lack Of
knowledge Of these, and want Of at
tention to them on the part Of west
ern peoples, have led the Chinese to
style the latter ssbarbarians" The
relations Of the sexes are strictly de-
fined, and stern etiquette, sane
toned by the legality Of murder IN
certain circumstances, guards the
sanetity Of the home, A licentious
soldiery is the surest means Of stirring
up the common people against the
country represented by them. The
greater freedom in the public inter-
mingling of men and women belong
ing to western nations q freedom
which cannot be understood and is
misapprehended by the Chinese to-
gether with other features common
among foreigners living IN China,
has aroused the Indignation of the
Chinese, who declare that the life of
western barbarians is the life Of
birds and beasts"
In addition to these outstanding
differences, says the Contemporary
Review, there are many other facts
connect a with the Chinese and many
other ideals which they entertain
wholly unlike If not at variance with
those of the west. These things will
account for the contempt which the
Chinese feel for the sollter king
doms." Il is still more easy for us to
understand this contempt when we
reflect that while they regard the
thorough knowledge Of literature as
the sole reason for the greatest re-
spect, they believe that foreigners are
ignorant of the existence Of the great
literature Of the west, excepting 80
much thereof as has been translated
BY missionaries, whose aim is to pub
lish the literature selected BY them
in such way that their work will be
generally understood BY the ordinary
folk, and who are not always solic-
itous to satisfy the extra-refned class
ical taste Of the Chinese scholar. The
superiority, therefore, Of the west in
arms or in mechanics may subdue
their bodies and improve their loco
motion, but it will not in the very
least modify their mental attitude.

LONDON STREETS.

Frequent Repetition Of Names Contusss
s the Chance Visitor.
There is some agitation In London
over the naming Of q new street re-
Gently opened and just completed,
and the question has brought about
somewhat broadspread realization
that in the matter Of naming her
streets London has allowed some in
excnsable repetitions to creep in, to
say nothing Of fhe manifold instances
Of inappropriateness and seeming
poverty of ideas. There has been a
recent move IN the right direction by
the suggestion on the part Of several
London papers that the city fenlen-
Der the country's famous literary
men in the naming or remaining of
streets, but with more accuracy than
has heretofore been observed.
Iondon's loyalty to the empire is
demonstrated by the fact thatits ruler
is remembered in 40 instances in To-
calities entitled Queen and in25 bear
ing the name of Victoria. No won
der that the nntutored traveller gets
turned about and twisted. This lit
erary suggestion virtually opens up b
new field Of nomenclature for London
highways, for it is really astonish-
ing how few Of England's literary
men are represented and commem-
GRATED in this manner.
There is but one conl1nemoration
each Of Homer, Horace, Pepys, Pope,
Scott, Iandon, Carlyle, Maeaulay,
Lytton, Disraeli and Owen; there are
two each of Shakespeare, johnson,
Lamb and Beaconsfeld; there are
three Tennyson, four eaehof gowley
andof Cowper, sixof Milton and seven
Of Goldsmith. Neither Thaekeray
nor Dickens receives any memorial in
street titles, unless il be ii Pendennis
road for the first and Manette street
for the second. One Of the most fa-
vorably received suggestions for the
name of the new street is that it shall
be called Charles Dickens avenue.

AMERICAN ENTERPRISE.
Shoes Made In Our Factories Being
Largely Sold in England.

4 Thereare more American boots and
shoes in this country, says the Lon
don Mail, than most people know of.
They have not been here long, but
they have found a very firm footing
and they are going further every
day.
f One agent who came over less than
three years ago has 1900 names on
his books, good firms who donot want
long credit and would not get it if
they did. That is the American sys-
TEN. These names are drawn from
all over the British Isles.
What IS the reason? The answer
is simple. The American hustles.
That is to say. he works hard and he
thinks hard. Start with the Ameri-
can factory. It is on the biggest
scale proeurable. The output Of one
factory alone is Z, 600 pairs a day, and
there are bigger ones thanthat.
Now, mark Every one Of these
5000 pairs is sold wholesale at the
same price. Not a single shoe ever
leaves the factory at any other price.
The consequence is that the whole.
time and thought and capital Of the
manufacturer is concentrated on this
one problem namely, how to pro-
duce the best possible shoe for that
money.
It goes without saying that the
American manufacturer has the very
latest machinery and plenty Of it.
As soon as new machine or an i'm
provement on an old machine is in
vented he has it.
Again, his workmen work by the
piece, not by time. In the English
trade there are hundreds Of Norkmen
who are living on reputation. They
are quite happy as they are, and any
improvement In process means #Ifou-
bic in learning it;;it also displaees la
bor.
American shoes are modelled on the
human foot, not on some last which a
clumsy shoemaker cut 20 years ago.
Compare an American last with a
typical English last. One of the two
is plainly and painfully distorted. It.
is not the American.
But feet differ. The American, in
stead Of trying to fit the foot to the
shoe, tries to fit the shoe to the foot
He has, say, four orsix shapes tostart.
with, narrow to broad. Then each Of
these shapes he makes in, say, 30 or
more gradations of sizes. Conse-
quently, you have perhaps 200 Yaria-
tions in size and fitting to choose
from.
Isthere any yreason why the English
manufacturer should not take leaves
from his American brothers book:
None whatever Heis dom il.
