Man of Muscle Appeals to all Women.

I
Mans proves appeals irresistibly
to woman. She loves his strength
and power to do things that she her
self could not possibly do. A thrill
o. admiration runs through her every
time she sees one of these mighty be-
ings lift a great weight. She loves
to see the knotted muscles stand out.
She loves TO watch the strong, firm
hands that often are as tender as they
are strong.
No wOmanly woman could watch
prize fight; each blow as it struck
home would find an echo in her heart.
That wonderful, beautiful strength
must be exercised in more peaceful
pursuits than prize fighting. 1t is in
contrast to her own weakness that wo--
man so adores mans strength. She
cannot help but think how strong the
barrier that those firm hands would
build between her and all adversely.
Since the world began woman has
worshiped mans superior strength.
Mere brute strength win often win
where nobler qualities fail. Every
bull fighter has a string of adoring wo-
men at his beck and call. Every
Roman gladiator counted his con-
quests by the score. Every modern
prize fighter has women admirers by
the hundreds, and all because he pos
sesses that one great attraction
strength.
Though n woman could not watch a
prize fight without fear and trembling,
she nevertheless intensely admires the
abnormal strength of the fighters.
The weakly man, be he ever so intel
lectual. rarely commands the homage
from womankind that his more strenu-
Gus fighting brother does.
WOman's intelligence prompts her
to side with intellect; her innermost
nature attracts her TO the athlete, as
the needle 10 the magnet. Women have
suffered much for men Of brain; they
have died for men of Drawn.

LARGEST GUN IN THE COUNTRY.

An Official attached to the ordnance
department of the United States army
conceived the idea of eXcelllng mis-
predecessors by building the largest
gun ever cast in the country. Finally,
after much effort, he succeeded in hay-
ing a bill passed in congress approprl-
ating money TO build a siXteen-inch
gun, the first of ten" The enormous
piece of ordnance, which weighs one
hundred and fifty tons and is forty
nine feet in length, is now mounted at
Sandy Hook at the entrance to New
York harbor. Its trial was success
full, because the gun was fired with
out bursting, but it is safe to say
that the remainder nine will never be
finished. The needs of the service do
not reach to the extent of hurting a
ton of metal distance of twenty-one
miles. Still the gun is a record
breaker" and thus serves a purpose

agent this week to exhibit at fairs. The
pig is one of the queerest freaks ever
raised in this vicinity. At the knee
joint of one front leg two well-formed
legs branch out and three at the knee
joint of the other leg, making five
front feet. All of the feet touch the
ground when the pig walks, the hind

CONSUMES MANY HIDES.
as7,I65 Animals Required to Supply the
Big Mayer Shoe Factory at
Milwaukee.

What becomes of the thousands Of
hides gathered together annually in this
country, and how are they consumed?
This question may come to the minds Of
many stock rasers, but few have any
conception of the daily requirements of
a single great modern institution like the
Mayer Boot q Shoe Company of Mil
waukee. This concern made into shoes
last year the hides of 2SI, 100 animals.
Figured on the basis of 300 working
days a year, the hides of nearly 1000
animals were required each day TO keep
the working force and the machinery in
operation.
To supply the demand Cor the trade
during the last year, there were made
into shoes the hides of
41.5S0 steers.
81 1872 cows.
1876 1873 G goats. !
46,620 sheep.
LAO horses.
1,020 kangaroo.
If all these animals were placed in
single file il would make one continuous
line, 273 miles long. or about the dis
lance from Chicago to st. Louis. The
number of animals required TO supply
the h DIES for each working day, if lined
up at the Mayer factory every morning,
would reach almost a mile.
To work so large an amount of mate
rial into the finished product necessitated
the employment of over 600 people all
the year round. The wages paid would
support every man, woman and child in
a city of 1000 inhabitants.
The Mayer factory has a capacity of
COCO pairs OF shoes per day. 1t is locat-
ed in the greatest leather market in the
world, and gets the first selection Of
hides, which is largely responsible for
the superiority of Mayer shoes and the
universal satisfaction given 10 the vast
army of people who wear. and insist
upon being supplied with, shoes bearing
the Mayer trade mark.

Deafness Cannot BE Cured

by local applications. as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear. There Is only one
way TO cure Deafness. and that Is by cOnstitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition OF the mucous lining of the
EuStachan Tube. When this tube gets infamed
YOU have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when Il Is entirely closed Deafness Is
the result. and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored TO It's normal
condition. hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases cut of ten are caused by atarrh,
which Is nothing but an iniiamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
