Regarding its use as a back entrance per-
init me to say, that when informed by Mr
Trimble that 1t was a ruling of the board
not to permit rear openings upon public
streets. / advised that the door upon Florida
avenue be closed and that rear entrance
be opened upon a private alley. This
change was made and approved by Inspector
Arnold who told me that he had made
favorable report upon II and that the board
was satisfied with the change.
Later asked Mr.. Tri nble why his license
had not been issued, and was told that he
had not complied with the law. The next
day Lieutenant" Arnold told Mr.. Mccarthy
that the board wanted him to close up the
entrance he had made in the private alley.
I asked him why, and he replied it was be-
cause the alley was entered from public
street. then asked him if all alleys were
not entered from public streets and why he
should be Disseminated against His answer
was that for reasons which he was not at
liberty to explain the board had soured upon
Mr.. Mccarthy. The intimation was clear,
however, that it was on account Of being
persistent in asserting his right to a legal

SAVAGE COLONY IN INDIA.
Tribe In Madras That Eats Game
killed by Hunters without
Cooking 1t.

In the Nellore district of the
Madras presidency live the Yanadis,
q strange tribe, as may be seen from
a report which has been issued by
the authorities of the Madras Gov
eminent museum. The live in for
ests, and that they are little removed
from savagery is indicated by the
absence of supplemental or monu-
mental material, the animistic ma
ture of their religion. the primitive
hunting and fishing methods followed
by many of the tribe, and the habit
of eating the almost raw flesh of the
game they kill after slightly heating
or scorching it. They are fearless in
catching cobras, which they draw out
of their holes without fear of their
fangs, and IL is supposed that they
protect themselves against the eff
fects of snake bites by swallowing
the poison sacs of the snakes. Es-
pecially singular is the manner in
which they produce fire by friction.
For this purpose they prepare two
sticks, one short, the other long. In
the former a square cavity is made,
and IL is held firmly in the ground
while the long stick IL twirled rap
idly to and fro in the hole. Instead
of charcoal powder they use rags, or
even dried leaves, which they find
little difficulty in lighting. :, j

SMALL PAY FOR HARD WORK.
Department Who Are Poorly
RecOmpensed.

In the great printing Office at
Washington where the government
paper currency is prepared for cir
culation there are some very skillful
women who receive only small pay.
This is notably true of those who
inspect and count the sheets of bills
as they come from the presses, says
the Chicago Chronicle. Every sheet
contains four bills, each of which
must be perfect. If there is ever so
small spot or flaw in the printing
the bill is rejected. These women
have to be experts who have served
in all the capacities from printers
assistant up, until they can detect in
an instant a flaw which would not
be seen by the unframed eye. They
inspect and count 10000 sheets of
bills a day, and their compensation
is $500 year; they have to pass
rigid examinations before they can
get into the service at all.
Persons who suffer from the heat
in summer. should be comforted
whenever they lick a postage stamp,
for the girls who put the sticking
material upon that stamp are in
much warmer place. During the av-
erage warm day in Washington the
thermometer stands at 10 degrees in
the big room where the govern
ment's stamps are coated with glue.
The sheets of stamps are run
through long boxes filed with very
hot air in order to dry them thor
oughly, and these heated boxes raise
the temperature of the room in spite
of open windows and many electric
fans

HENpEcKED HUSBANDS.
Celestial Literature IL Full Of Hs-
morous Anecdotes and Descrip-
lions ON the Subject.

"Chihese humorous literature
abounds with references to henpecked
husbands said Prof. Herbert Allen
Giles, of the University of Cambridge,
in the closing lecture of his recent
course at Columbia university. Then
he went on to tell sample story culled
from this branch of Chinese litera-
ture, says the New York Tribune.
"Ten henpecked husbands resolved
to form a society to resist the imposi-
lions of their wives" he said. "The ten
wives heard of the plan, and while the
meeting for organization was in prog
ress entered in body. Nine of the
rebellious husbands incontinently bolt
ed, but the tenth one retained his place,
quite unmoved by the frightful APP
partition. The ten ladies, merely smil-
ing CONTEMPORARY on the one man
left behind, returned to their homes,
satisfied with the success of their raid.
The nine husbands thereupon returned
and resolved to make the heroic tenth
the president of the society. When
they went, however, to inform him OF
the honor, it was found that he had
died Of fright.
"Women have few privileges that
men have not" continued Prof. Giles.
"They are exempt from the bamboo
punishment; no woman can be bam-
booed. And woman is source OF enx-
iety and misgiying to magistrate and
counsel In any case In which she may
be a party, for no Chinaman will enter
into an agreement with woman-not
from any feeling of chivalry at all, but
from a rooted conviction that he will
get the worst Of it."
Prof. Giles continued to reveal mas
culine secrets by describing some
things which he said recently took
place at a dinner at which number
of high-class natives and important for
eigners were present. The host, adj
dressing himself to the latter, in
quired:
do you fear the inner ones?"
Upon inquiry he explained that he
meant their wives, and added, with
unconscious pathos, that many China
men stood in constant fear of their
wives.
snow, for example, he does" said
the host, naively, pointing to solemn
and rotund magistrate, who had i'm
pressed everyone as filed with a sense
of his Importance.
Atthisall the Europeans presentburst
into uncomfortable laughter, which
rather surprised the Chinaman, who
had been seeking to acquire informa-
tion on what they thought were seri-
Gus matters.

The parks are for the people. The
only way the masses of the people
can enjoy themselves, is by having
the freedom of the grass. The ex-
perience of other cities, as we'll as
that of Cleveland, is that under rea-
sonable regulations such use Of the
parks is not injurious to the turf,
provided care is taken to keep the
soil in condition to supply the grass
roots with proper nourishment.

cHINAMAN AND THE PEN.
II Was the First of the Kind He Had
Ever Seen, But 1t Was No
Puxxle to Him.

A certain newspaper man who was
inluced to "try" stylographic pen
got it out of order by reckless treat
ment and took it to. a PENSION for re-
pair. The man there soon showed him
that there was nothing serious the
matter with it, the Only trouble being
that he had neglected to do some little
thing in using it. Then he began to
take the pen apart for the newspa-
perman's instruction, so that he might
see how very simple thing it is, re-
lates the Philadelphia Record.
"Simple!" cried the indignant own
er of the instrument, '.it is as compli-
Gated as Chinese puzzle! / don't
wonder that cannot make 1T go when
l want toll"
I The penman laughed.
"You remind me-" he said. "that
there is Chinaman in this town who
used a stylographic regularly. He
came here to buy one several years
ago, and when showed il to him he
began to take it all apart. i hurriedly
stopped him, supposing that he would
do it an injury, but he at once put
down the value of the pen. saying that
it was his. and then continued the dis

On a level with the roof, Mr.. Bell

her from the wire until she was within

Mankato Delegation Visited Winona
This Week.

Winona Republican and Herald:
General Agent A. 9. johnson of the
North Western road returned last eve
ming from western trip. When asked
this morning regarding the visit of the
Mankato delegation here this week, he
said that the committee represented
the Mankato Protective association
and consisted of Geo. Pond, Fred Krou
and G. D. Benack. Their request was
that Mankato be given St. Paul rates,
merchants there now being charged
five cents hundred more on first and
second class freight and two or three
cents more on other classes. While of
course the representations of the Man
kato committee will be given due con-
sideration it can be stated that the
distance to Mankato is twenty two
miles further than from Chicago to
the twin cities, and it is not an in
termediate point on the line, and it
would seem that the present rate is
equitable.

EAT A BED TIME MEAL.
But Avoid Partaking of Heavy and Al
most IndiqestibIe Food.

What is one mans meat is another
mans poison; some people sleep bet
ter on full stomach and some better
on an empty one, and there probably
always will be two parties in the
world, the advocates of supper and
those who condemn it,, just as there
are people who recommend hearty
breakfast and those who advocate a
morning meal consisting of coffee and
roll. But the advocates of going to
bed on full stomach are increasing,
and many physicians now recommend
a bed time meal for weak, nervous and
emaciated persons. While rich and
hearty food is undoubtedly inappro
pirate at bed time, light nourishing
repast at night often conduces to sound
sleep by drawing the blood away from
the brain The long hours of sleep
consume about one third of our exist
ence. Although there is naturally
much less demand upol our waking
hours, there is still wasting away of
tissue consequently upon the suspen-
sion of nutriment for so many hours,
II the food taken at dinner is digested
by bed time the body feeds upon itself
during the Sleeping hours. Often one
is wakeful and restless at night be-
cause the stomach is empty.
One physician says: MAN is the
only animal | know of who does not
deem it proper to sleep on a good
meal The infant instinctively cries
to be fed at night, showing that food
is necessary at that time, as we'll as
during the day, and that being left
too long without it causes the child
discomfort. So, if you crave it, the
supper advocates say, eat a light,

The board of pardons yesterday
hear and took under advisemenU the

now past the point arguing. When he
had closed his remarks Chief Justice
Start said:
"This is too important matter to

matter under advisement.
A curious incident occurred at the
