has lost some of the fabbiness which he
took from Butte with him and is in the
pink of condition.
Since Jack left Butte he has engaged in
many stunts, and was defeated in only
one, that of acting, where he lost de-
cision to the thespian art. He played foot
ball with the Olympias Of New York, who
won the state championship, and defeated
John Piening at New Haven, Conn. The
Butte contingent at Yale, including How
ard Welch and Marcus DAILY, gave him a
rousing reception after the bout and he
had the time OF his life. While the go was
in progress the boys made Rome howl with
the college yell.
Munroe is very modest in speaking of
his bouts with Peter Maher and Al. Lin
crick, and whatever might be said of the
Butte pugilist, he has not developed any
thing in the nature of the swelled head.
Jack feels confident he can put Sharkey
away. and now that he has been matched
with the sailor, will not take on any de-
cisive matches until that bout is pulled off,
which will be sometime about March I.
Both men have posted $1,000 as for
felt for the match and will fight in Boston.
Munroe has now been assured match
with Jeffrics and will not leave a stone un-
turned to reach the champion. Jeliries has
expressed himself as pleased with Munroe,
but wants Jack to put away some real good
man in order to have the go money
maker.
Tonight Munroe and Mike Sullivan, the
big boy who stood Ike Hayes off in To-
round go in Helena December a, will go
six rounds at Suttons Broadway theater
as feature OF the Christmas vaudeville en-.
tertainmcnt. As the bout is an exhibition
only there will be some good amusement
for the admirers of both these men, Sui
livan has been training at Sullivan's gym
nasum and took long workout yesterday
afternoon with Mike Sullivan, the athletic
instructor. The big fellow has developed
good speed and will give good account of
himself tonight when he faces the clever
boxer from the East.
Sullivan has the making of a good boxer
and with the short length of time he has
been learning the game, shows great possi-
bilities. If Mike makes good showing
in the exhibition bout tonight he will get
backing to go against Ike Hayes again for
good purse.

Jack Munroe is in town. and is being be-

Munroe arrived last night OH the 40

to the Florence hotel, where number of
his friends had gathered to meet him.
After removing the dust Of travel, the conf
ing champion paid visit to his brother.
Munroe is looking fine, and from appear
ances one would judge that he has been
devoting himself to business. He shows
the effect of his training while East. and is
readily picked out in crowd as the man
who will put Sharkey to the bad.
Jack has the quick eye, the elastic step

Early combine. and Corner.


"Engrossing" was an offense punish
able in England by fine and imprison-
Saae1t, -and- tue laws against 1t struck at
those-called "engrossers"-w plan
ned to gain control over necessities,
such as grain or food stuffs in consid-
cradle quantities, either by purchase or
otherwise, with the intention of raising
prices.
The statute book holds quite series
Of enactments designed to prevent any
thing in the nature of what we know
as Corner or combine" 'Regrat-
ing" was q criminal offense, and SO was
"forestalling." The former consisted
of buying and selling the same day in
the same market or near it, and the
latter implied the purchase of merchan-
disc on the way to market or before
the hour at which the market COM
menced, with the intention of selling
at profit, while it was also "forestall-
ing" to circulate rumors calculated to
raise the prices of commodities.
Though these laws have fallen into
desuetude, they were in force in our
grandfathers' time. At Preston, for in
stance, there We're prosecutions almost

speeche. OF Men.

You may search through the annals
Of all time, and the speeches of men
will tell the passions Of the periods
during which they fourished. The
speeches of the ancients that have
been preserved through the ages pre-
sent to us our strongest and most Inn
portant history Of the past. They con-
stitute the living sentiment of the lit
erature of fame. In all the mighty
tumults of war. the tranquil periods of
peace and the convulsive shocks Of rev.
olution the orator stands in clear relief
as impressive and enduring US the SOL
der. The great speeches of the great
men of antiquity are in the mouth Of
the schoolboy. He cannot know Greece
without Demosthenes. He cannot know
Rome without Cicero. Still the stenog-
raphers of those centuries were unlike
the stenographers of this, and SO 1t will
always remain a lasting regret that
many of the most brilliant utterances
of ancient oratory and wit have never
been recorded. -Schoolmaster

A Heroic phy.ician.

A deadly plague was raging in the
city of Marseilles. The doctors could
do nothing, for very little was known
Of the disease. owing to the danger sur
rounding any inquiry into 1t. In a
council among themselves they came to
the conclusion that the corpse of VIC
tim must be dissected, but 1t would be
death to the operator. Upon this being
decided celebrated physician, one of
their number, arose and declared that
for the safety Of his country he would
give himself up to the task. He then
Immediately left the room. made his
will and arranged his affairs. At day
break on the following morning he en-
tered the house where man had Just
died Of the plague. Here he made a
complete examination of the body, per-
formed the necessary operations and
wrote down all he observed. When
this was completed he left the house,
threw the notes he had made into vine
gar that they might not carry infection
and retired to lonely spot. There he
died within twelve hours.

Nothing is now more universally ac
an improved variety or the nirnond.
The almond has thin shell around
the stone, which splits open and shows
the stone when mature. This outer
skin has simply become tleshy in the
peach, SO that it is all that gives 1t its
specific character. It seems now clear
from investigation in the history Of
ancient Babylon that in their gardens,
nearly 1000 years ago, the peach was
cultivated then as it is now.
1t must have been many years before
this that the peach was improved from
the almond, and this fact goes to show
the great antiquity of the fruit. Pos
sibly gardening in some respects, Mt
least SO far as it relates to many Of
our cultivated fruits, was us far ad-
yanced 6,000 or 5000 or perhaps 10000
years back us 1t is today.
Ph9nicians, many thousands of years
ago, as is proved by the records. had in
their gardens almonds, apricots, ba-
nanas, citrons. figs, grapes, olives.
peaches, pomegranates, and even sugar
cane was in extensive cultivation. Ger
tainly this shows how far advanced
these nations were in garden culture
many years ago.

10000 times per year and 2,575, 440,-
600 times in seventy years, which is
"man's appointed threescore years and

2A ounces of blood through the sys-
tenn, 175 ounces per minute, 656A
pounds per hour or 7O3 tons per day.
All the blood in the body, which is
about thirty pounds. passes through
the heart every three minutes. This
little organ pumps every day what is
equal to lifting 122 tons one foot high
or one ton 122 feet high-that is, one

Poisonous Baby snakes.

The young Of the poisonous species
of serpents, deserted from the very first
by the parent snakes, are as dangerous
as II full grown from the moment they
enter the world. The proprietor of u
Philadelphia museum learned this to
his cost. In q big glass case partitioned
through the middle by wire screen
there lived side by side an eleven foot
anaconda (of the constructor family
and colony Of cotton mouth moe
casins. 1t was impossible for the moe
casins to glide through the narrow
meshes of the screen or even to ven
ture an occasional strike" at their
large and peaceful neighbor. But dur
ing the night a brood of young cotton
mouths unexpectedly ed-babies,
not five inches long. They squirmed
through the meshes Of the partition
and before they had been two hours in
this world were gliding joyfully over
the lifeless body Of the huge constructor,
which lay poisoned by the youngsters
fangs.
