reer as a novelist, he has said, he con-
 fined his attention chiefly to the arti- sans, and in order to make himself fa- miliar with their mode of existence from beginning to end, he took up his quarters in some of the poorest neigh
 borhoods he could find. Indeed, he lived the life of the workingnan, ex- cept that he did not perform any man ual labor. On a Saturday night he would hang about in the busy market places in the East End of London while many time he sat in quiet
 corner of a public-house for whole evening smoking a pipe and observing the guests as they came and went.
 When MT. Gissing's book Tn the Year
 of Jubilee was on the stocks, he once told an interviewer that he spent few
 weeks in Camberwell lodging house.
 Again, when planning out another vol
 ume he thought that a description of
 some of the lower parts of Lambeth
 would suit a purpose he had in view, so
 he took a bedroom in that district His aim was to get to know locality under
 all conditions, and the most satisfacto-
 ry way of doing this he found was to change ones lodgings repeatedly, and
 wander about night and day. In his
 novel "The Whirlwind' he wished to
 describe a village that was far away
 from anywhere, so he went to North
 Wales, and after a weeks walking and
 driving found just the place he want

him to the rear. He never had been sick day.
 The last two years of his life he spent on the retired list, but was still marked fit for duty in order to keep him there; any other horse would have been con- demned and sold; but he was kept as matter of sentiment and had nothing to do but eat and sleep. The only oth- CT horse that ever knew to be treated this way was the one which survived the Custer massacre; he was kept in a troop of the Seventh Cavalry until he died. He was saddled up and led out in every mounted inspection, but was never ridden by any one.
 This old horse of ours (we called him Bummer) was never tied in the day. time, but let go where he pleased. He paid regular visits to the cook-house; there getting his head in the slop bar rel. he would half empty the barrel. It did not seem to make any difference to him what he found there-bean soup, stale bread, cooked meat or potato par ings-all went. He did not need the stuff; he got just what the other horses got to eat twice day.
 Soon after the close of the war we were dismounted at Macon, Ga, and sent to Texas; here we got the old horses that the Eighteenth New York had been riding, and kept a lookout for a sorrel, but the best I could get was small sorrel mare Mares are never used in time of peace, but for the last four years before this anything that could carry saddle would be used, We had three of these mares by the time we were all mounted They had been captured" down South: none of them had been bought. My mare just suited me; she could carry me fifty miles day, then carry me back again next day if I wanted her to do it. I had her about two days when I found out that she chewed tobacco. She grabbed a small package of fine cut out of my hand, and then stood chewing it, paper and all Seeing that 1t did not hurt her, I kept her in tobacco, buying the leaf tobacco that all these Mexican stores sold here then, a large hand" of 1t for a silver dime; that would not have paid tie uuty on lt Hau any peeH palu, put the collector had not got here yet; when he did come these men had to stop sell ing it at any price. I never went near my mare without bringing her tobacco; If she did not get 1t right away she would begin to shove me with her nose and keep it up until gave her the usu- Ial chew. When we were ordered to turn in our mares a few months after this

vAGARIEs OF HORSES APPE-
 TITES.

MT. Hardy, in the current number,
 under the caption of Cats Eating Corn" gives an instance of a horse which ate cooked beef. have in mind some three different horses which may be said to have had a perverted appe- tite. One, a small half-breed Texas horse which had for a few months, would eat a fresh piece of beef as large as a dinner plate and an inch thick.
 He ate it just as a dog would, holding it down with his forefoot, then tearing off chunks of it and swallowing them
 This appetite for fresh beef was SO
 well known that none of it was ever left within his reach except by accident. When it was, whoever left 1t never saw it again. The troop that first served in had horse that died in it when he was twenty-three years old. Seventeen of those years he had been put in with this troop fifteen of them under the saddle. He had been shot several times, once through the neck and once in the flank; but neither shot had sent

observatory which did employ their services no longer does so.
 Tn America, however, there is some opportunity for women--at Harvard university, where Professor Pickering has established quite a large bureau for women employees. They do not, however, undertake any observation work, their duties lying entirely with photographic plates, which they have to examine, compare and report upon. This occupation has grown into quite a department-and very valuable one, too-having, I am pleased to say, wo- man at it's head.
 May I ask if you your self have made any discoveries?"
 1 No, have not, and may say delib- erately that that has never been my aim. My object has always been to as- sist Sir William, and jointly with him l do make discoveries, and we have in conjunction done much original work. From 1887 have had joint authorship in my husbands papers, and all our publications to the learned societies, as well as a large atlas, have been our INOAiibiHCA AaOOls oIlii, dlLltOu5A uty principal work has been to assist my husband, I have worked very hard and quite independently.
 My separate work has included much measurement and examination of pho- ltographs--as at Harvard. This last summer we have been engaged on radi- llm, and have accomplished some i'm portant work on this subject, bringing yet another of it's mysteries to light; namely, that this body at quite ordina- ny temperatures is capable of making nitrogen give a bright line spectrum the first time such thing has been known.
 q am quite sure," continued Lady Higgins. "that there are some ways in which women are very specially quali- fled to make good astronomical obser- vers, for their sight is very good, and there is less color blindness among them than with men. Although people must be born observers, they need mak- ling also, and no one can hope to be a good observer without years of patience and laborious training and practice, to- gether with a highly cultivated memo ", which is most important. ."-London Daily News.

QUIT COFFEE
Said Che Great German Specialist

It disappoints some people to be told that coffee causes the disease. But it is best to look squarely at facts and set the face towards health for that's more fun than anything else anyhow. A Gin cinnati man consulted a Berlin physi- elan on nervous diseases and says:
 -Four years ago I was an habitual coffee thinker. having used it for 25 years, ana being naturally of a nervous temperament I became almost nerv- ods wreck. greatly suffering from in somnia, almost constantly constipated and weighing only 128 pounds.
 1T consulted physicians and took medicines all the time but had no relief. About three years and a-half ago I went abroad, and while in Berlin heard frequently of a great physician, Prof. Mendel, an authority on nervous trou- ble, so I resolved to consult him.
 Prof, Mendel surprised me very much by asking at once if was cof- fee thinker, and on my telling used it two or three times day he said, Tt is poison.' After carefully examining me he told me there was nothing the mat ter with me whatever but what could be entirely cured in 30 days by letting coffee and other stimulants alone and dieting.
 T had a hard time following his ad- vice. I did not know what to do until came home and told my wife, who got some Postum. We tried it, but at first did not like it; then we went over the directions on the package together, and found we did not boil it long enough. That was the beginning of the end of my trouble, for the Postum was delicious after that and I drank it reg ularly and it helped from the start

WOMEN ASTRONOMERS.

Talk With One in England Who Shares
 Her Husbands Fame.
 One of the most prominent of to-day scientists is Lady Huggins, the wife of the president of the Royal Society, whose work in astronomy will descend to posterity with that of Caroline Her. schel and Mary Somerville. Both these ladies received, as some slight apprecia- tion of their work, election as honorary members of the Royal Astronomical Society and this year, sixty-eight years after, the Royal Astronomical Society has seen fit to honor in similar fashion yet two other women, Lady Huggins and Miss Agnes Clerke. The former S fame will inevitably be linked with that

 Attorney A. AIcC. Mathewson was the next speaker, and he referred to the diff Aculty which had been met with prior to the adoption of the change in the charter in 1897, but he thought that it had given general satisfaction.
 ". A. Woodward of the Fifteenth ward was the next speaker. and he was bitterly opposed to the proposed plan for a number of reasons. He said that the property owners were doubly-over taxed, and that if the annexation was made the conditions would be as bad as they were when the Bronx was annex ed to New York city. He said that the board of relief would give no redress to a man who was over-taxed, and that a poor man could not afford to fight it in the courts.
 Ex-Councilman John J. Kelly of the Fifteenth ward was the next speaker. He said that the bringing up of this matter was like thrusting thorns into a good many peoples sides. Continuing, he said that a good many poor people had moved to the outlying wards for the purpose of building little homes and that the annexation would be hardship to them.
 Henry H. Townsend was also opposed to the plan.
 Ex-Judge Harrison spoke of the diffi- culties that had been encountered in the legislature in 1881, when he was member from this city, in reference to any conjunction.
 W. H. Seaver thought that it was an unwise plan to stir up this matter of annexation, saying that it might engen- der some ill Feeling among the mem bers of the chamber.
 Secretary John c. Gallagher thought that it would be wise plan to have the board conduct an investigation and find out what the feeling was among the residents of these three wards. and then if 1t was not favorable, of course no action could be taken.
 Judge Bishop said that the only ways the wards could be brought into the city was by their wishing to be so.
 There were also a number of other speakers

of her husband, whose work includes the foundation of a science, that of as- l trophysics, on the problems of which hundreds of earnest inquires are at pre- l sent intent.
 I As a mere child, Lady Huggins, who 1 is of Irish birth, became devoted to the study of the stars, going out at night with dark lantern and star atlas to llearn the story of the heavens. During the day, too, she was no less indefati- gable, examining the sun with her own lingeniously made apparatus and work ling at chemical experiments, and all in spite of no encourage cement.
 The young girl had then some knowl- ledge and skill when, in 1875, she married
 pr. Huggins. A part of Sir Williams brilliant later success has been due to the aid of his clever wife.
 The home at Tulse Hill has the addi- | tion of an important observatory, which lis entirely a private one, although he telescopes therein have been loaned by the Royal society. Divided into physi- cal and photographic laboratories, and fitted up with electrical arrangements of latest pattern, the building is emi- Inently adapted to research purposes. Lady Huggins was good enough to ex-
 plain their working to the Daily News interviewer.
 "In fine weather it is our custom,' she said, Ito come here every night to make
 observations, and it Is here that We do our work" Remembering all that she has accomplished in her particular line of work, the interlocutor asked Lady
 Huggins whether in her view there was any general astronomical opening for
 women.
 Speaking candidly,' she replied, T really do not consider there is a career for women in connection with astrono- lmy here. For one reason, there are so 1 few observatories, and that means linn lited opportunities. My own connection with the science, must tell you, is en- tirely private one, as I act with my husband. Some years ago an attempt was made to employ women at Green wich, but for some cause or another the movement came to an end, and, so far
 as know, there is no intention of re- lnewing the experiment. Therefore, as say, any women who may be engaged in astronomical work in this country are either connected quite unofficially with an observatory or else devote them- selves to astronomical history, which
 means their being in no sense practical
 or observation astronomers. No, there | is certainly no field open to women in ! this direction in England since the only
