CLEVELAND AND THE DUCKS.
That the President went duel,
shooting is his own business. IDs
message was received at the proper
time and read before both branches
of Congress. He has not neglected
any of his duties as chief executive of / " ’’ ' u
the nation. The President’s recrea- ^ |S ! ' 0 * as J D
tion hours are spent in a way that
injures no one, but brings hack tin
ruddy glow to cheek and makes mere
elastic the willing step.
The weight of the government is
upon the President’s shoulders, lie
feels the pressure as any conscien
tious man must feel it. If with n
Democratic House and a Democratic
Senate the President last year had n
hard time of it, much harder must he
expect the work of the present Con
si reugly to the Sultan’s secret ap-
iiv.iva] of ihe murder of his Christian
• nlij' ets. Either th“ Sultan is too
to affect the reforms insisted on
by 1 lie allied powers or he is in sym
pathy with the baser element of his
subjects.
And what are the powers doing
meanwhile? Knocking at Turkey’^
front door for permission for one
more war vessel to pass through the
narrow channel that leads to her
capital. The sultan refuses until
Germany’s Emperor joins hands
with the Powers seeking reforms.
Emperor William is slow to yield and
i in Sultan looks to him as his friend.
How about that turkish sword, with
scabbard and hilt studded with dia
monds, a present from the Sultan to
ho youthful Emperor! The trouble
hud already begun in Armenia when
tin present was accepted.

ROA-. i LIZARD.
A Common Dish Among tl.e Incliann of
the Mojavo Desert.
The Digger Indians and the Pintos
live in the mountains a d in the forests
on the verge of Death valley. The
Piutes are known as the xvhite Arabs
of the desert. Their staple food is
lizard fli sh, which they consider a great
luxury anil which they catch on the
borders of the valley. These lizards
are about two feet long. The Indians
call them “chahwalla” and roast them
as caught betxvcen hot stones. White
men eat them, too, but dress them and
boil them over a sagebrush fire. They
are said to be very good eating and to
taste quite like frogs’ legs.
There are no birds in this neighbor
hood save the xveird, mysterious raven,
whose ominous voice fitly croaks the
fatal entrance of those who brave tho
terrors of the valley. Hoxvling coyotes
add their harsh cries to the sum of
horrors about the place. Curious rep
tiles. uncanny and hobgolin in appear
ance, are found here. The most deadly
creature next to the Gila monster is
xvhat the natives call a “side xvinker”
snake, which is peculiar to this
desolate desert. It is a rattler
about txventy inches long, which
moves from side to side with a start
ling spring instead of gliding along.
Moreover, it has horns, and I don’t
know but hoofs, too. It is assuredly
of tho evil one. Scorpions, tarantulas,
rats, horned toads and gnats lendAheir
aid to render Death valley the most ap
palling place on earth. There are
mice, too—mice which live upon centi
pedes—and there are rats with huge
ears, a sight to scare the dogs.

TOM MOORE’S SWEETHEART.
She Lies Buried in a Nameless Grave in
Greenwood Cemetery.
Only those who are thoroughly con
versant with the innumerable high
ways and byxvays of Greenwood ceme
tery in Brooklyn knoxv of a section
called “The Hill of Graves.” The sec
tion, says the Ladies’ Home Journal,
derives its name from the fact that
nearly forty thousand unfortunates are
buried there in roxvs of fifty. One
would never think of looking for a spot
of interest in that locality. To find
any particular grave in this public
burying ground one needs the aid of a
cemetery guide. And even such a
guide has difficulty, since the graves
arc known only by numbers. Upon
looking at the records of the cemetery
it xvas found that the special grave de
sired in this instance xvas in public lot
No. 8,999, and that the number of the
mound was 805. When the grave was
found it was not unlike the thousands
around it. The mound xx r as sunken and
neglected; the grass, once green upon
it, is long since dead. A small xvhite
marble stone stands at the head, upon
which is inscribed: “Mother and
Grandmother.” Nothing is there to
indicate the fact that underneath that
sunken mound lies all that is mortal of
beautiful Mary Duff, to whom the poet
Thomas Moore offered his hand and
heart, whose beauty he immortalized in
his verse, and who, in the maturity of
her career, won the applause of thou
sands upon thousands of people whom
her name attracted to all the greati
theaters of Europe and America, as
one of the most gifted of actresses.
FLESH REDUCTION.
How It Is Done by a Celebrated German
Physician.
It is much easier to acquire flesh than
to lose it. There is no royal road to
beauty for those inclined to plumpness,
and many are the things they are
obliged to do to scare off fat, says the
Philadelphia Record.
An Englishman reduced his weight in
one year from two hundred and two to
one hundred and fifty pounds, and kept
it there. He lived on beef, mutton,
fish, bacon, try toast, poultry, game,
tea, coffee, claret and sherry.
Dr. Schweninger, the famous German
physician, who has established his rep
utation as a flesh-reducer through his
success in ridding Prince Bismarck of
forty pounds avoirdupois in three
months, without the slightest deleteri
ous effect upon his patient's physical
condition, restricts the consumplion of
liquids at all times, and deprives the
patient entirely of fluids during or
xvithin an hour of meals, forbids starch
and sugay, and advises most heroic
physical exercise.
Physical exercise will, w,e all know,
reduce flesh. The reason is that in un
usual exercise, such as rapid walking,
horseback riding, gymnastics or bicy
cling the blood is more rapidly oxygen
ated and the result is the destruction
or burning out of the fat, and you may
have noticed that great walkers are
never fat, and that people who live in
high altitudes and mountainous coun
tries, where they walk a great deal apd
consume quantities of oxygen, are al-
xvays slim.
An Old Phonogra pb.
The antiquity of modern inventions
has often been the subject of remark,
by way of commentary upon the old
saying that “there is nothing new
under the sun.” An extreme case is re
ported by the London News. A peri
patetic exhibitor of the phonograph in
Holland seems determined to distance
all competitors. He was exhibiting the
machine in the streets of Utrecht, and
a number of customers were listening
to a selection of tunes. Suddenly the
music ceased and there was a pause.
Then in a loud, clear tone was heard
the one word: “Halt!” “What is
that?” asked one of the listeners.
“That,” was the reply, “is the voice of
Napoleon Bonaparte giving an order at
the battle of Waterloo!”
and they nre xi.-Jng all manner of means
to attract it. In nearly all the shops
on the Strand, Regent street, Oxford
street and other thoroughfares of that
character, where prices are given and
articles are displayed in the xx'indows,
the U aited States dollar mark is used
in conjunction xvith Ihe English pound
mark. One of the big dry goods stores
in Oxford street created quite a com
motion among the Americans by dis
playing a very large American Hag
from their flagpost. As I happened to
pass by I saw about two hundred peo
ple looking reverently at the stars and
stripes. The size of this crowd not only
demonstrated the clever move of the
shopkeeper, hut the large number of
Americans in London, that so many of
them could he attracted about the same
time and at the same place by this
means. Naturally they all wondered
what it meant, and went into the shop
in pursuit of knoxvledgc. They were
given to understand that it \x - as in the
nature of a personal compliment, and
they feel it noxv their patriotic duty to
believe that this is the greatest shop in
London. Other shopkeepers are sure
to discover the cleverness of this scheme
and follow the example. It may be
come contagious. If it does, the Amer
ican flag xvill he more familiar in Lon
don than in New York.
BIG BRAINS.
.'lamnioth Xlrn: H Xi:»«-}i!m*ry of liUman-U,
IIyro:i ami Others.
The famous and fitly named Gorman
s aiptor, S ii iper, who executed the
statue of Bismarck at Cologne, was
privileged to he on more familiar terms
than anybody now living, probably,
xvith Ids sitter’s head. He had that
head in Ids hands for days, says the
Noxv York Journal, and surveyed and
measured, and manipulated it to his
heart's content. The results of Ids ob
servations and mensurations he sub
sequently placed at the disposal of
science, and science has proceeded to
institute comparisons between the
prince's head and others—not only in
point of size, hut in point of brain
weight also—very greatly, as may he
imagined, in the great man’s favor.
The Bismarck head measured 212 and
170 in millimeters. This.it appears, is
colossal. In Baden, where heads run
big, out oT 2,500 they measured only
one ran to 206 millimeters from fore
head to occiput. The most extensive
head they could find upon a savant
gave a cubic capacity of 1,800 centi
meters only. Bismarck’s goes this 105
cubic centimeters better. Coming to
xveight of brain, Kant, Dante, Byron,
Cuvier—none of them are in it xvith the
chancellor. Cuvier carried 3 pounds
15}£ ounces in Ids brain-pan. Bismarck
puts up *1 pounds 1 ounce avoirdupois.
This xveight, however, has been equaled
in the ease of u British subject, re
ported a couple of weeks ago in the
Lancet. lie yielded 65 ounces—the
chancellor’s figure exactly—and he was
deaf, dumb, daft, and a Scotchman.
The Intelligent Drttlsh Voter.
A correspondent of the British Week
ly had some odd experiences in a county
council - election some time ago in a
rural district of England: “The nain>*s
of the candidateu were Mr. Hook and
Col. Holland. ‘Ah, well,' said a man to
me, after I had been expatiating on
the merits of one of them, ‘I don’t
knoxv nothing about ’Ook, and I don’t
knoxv nothing about ’Ollund, but my
wife's n Dutchwoman, and so 1 mean to
voic for ’Ollund.’”
TRICKING TREE CRABS.
JIow t?i« Natives of Africa Prevent Their
Depredations.
In Africa there exists a certain mem
ber of the crab genus commonly known
as the great tree crab. This peculiar
shellfish, says the Pittsburgh Dispatch,
has an offensive trick of crawling up
the cocoanut trees, biting off the etcoa-
nuts and then creeping doxvn again
backwards.
Tin* theory is that the nuts are shat
tered by the fall, and the great tree
crab is thus enabled to enjoy a hearty
meal. Noxv, the natives who inhabit
regions infested by this ill-conditioned
crab are xvell aware that the loxver por
tion of the crab’s anatomy is soft and
sensitive, and they believe that the
“bivalve” was thus constructed in or
der that he might know when he had
reached the ground, and when, conse
quently, he might xvith safety release
his grasp of the trunk.
So what they do in order to stop
his depredations, which often ruin tlie
cocoanut crops, is this: While the crab
is engaged in nipping off the cocoanuts
they climb half way up the trees and
there drive a roxv of low nails right
around the tree, alloxving an inch or so
of the nails to project.
The crab lias no knowledge of dis
aster, nor yet the fitness of things. As
he descends, the sensitive part of his
body suddenly touches the nailsi Think
ing he has reached the ground, he nat-
rually lets go. Instantly he falls back
wards, and cracks his own shell on the
ground.
Two Qadlfc Illinois Wells.
Near Augusta, 111,, there are two
peculiar xvells, each of which deserves
special mention in a department de
voted to accounts of things out of the
ordinary. The first is a “bottomless
well”—one which was sunk doxvn until
the immense running underground river
was struck. The second is a well in
which the water remains frozen winter
and summer. These two wonders, each
of which may properly be referred to
as '‘combined natural and artificial
curiosities,” are located r t a distance
of about a mile and a half apart. The
frozen well is only about ten feet in
depth, that of the other not stated.
The Fire Core.
The native doctors of India practice a
peculiar system knoxvn as “firing.”
Afflicted persons, no odds xvhat the dis
ease may be, are immediately upon ar
rival of the family physician subjected
to tho tortures of fire. A late report by
a medical authority declares that there
is not one to the thousand of total pop
ulation in Bombay and the larger
cities generally, who docs not hear

A CHEAP LANTERN.
How a Wheelman Was Enabled to Rida
Home After Dark.
The law calls for a lighted lantern
to be attached to each wheel after dark,
but it docs not say that the lantern must
of necessity be made of metal and glass.
The good old Chinese lantern may often
come in useful in a case of emergency,
during these nights xvhen the lamp
ordinance is so strictly enforced.
Being caught way up in Germantoxvn
after dark the other ex’ening, a New
York city rider was deeply puzzled to
know how he was going to get along
Broad street without being “pulled” for
riding without a light. Having a lamp
at home he was unwilling to go to the
expense of a new one for that single oc
casion. While still wondering where
he could put his wheel for the night his
eyes fell on a number of fancy Chinese
lanterns displayed in a store across the
street. Inside of five minutes he had
become the possessor of one and was
on his way rejoicing.
•According to the American Wheel
man, New Yorkers go prepared for
such exentualities. Being xvarned by a
policeman that his “light xxas out,” a
wheelman xvho was riding along Broad
way dismounted and made several in
effectual attempts to relight the lamp,
only to find that the reserxoir leaked
and that the oil had all escaped. Draxv-
ing an ordinary, small-sized, plaited pa
per Chinese lantern from his pocket,
he inserted a piece of tallox-/ candle,
which he lighted, and then slipping the
fine xvire handle over one of the handle
bars, he vaulted into the saddle and
rode off.

The season had come to an end and

long veranda of the summer hotel by

PUT A CHECK ON BLOOMERS.
People of Birinlughatu, Ala., Effectually
Stop the ( raze.
Women of Birmingham, Ala., may ride
bicycles, but they have put away all
idea of adopting bloomers, and ail on ac
count of a clever trick resorted to by
those who oppose‘the fashion. When
the craze first struck the city none hut
extremely young girls appeared on the
streets in the bifurcated garments. It
was whispered, however, that the young
women, and some not so young, were
hastily preparing their nexv suits. Then
the ant i-bloonu rites played it loxv down.
They employed a coal-black negress of
ponderous weight and flabby form to
ride a bicycle through the streets day
after day. They attired her in a gor
geous costume, consisting of flaming
red waist, blue trousers, with a wide
white stripe doxvn tin* sides, and bright
yellow hose. Owing to her great avoir
dupois this grotesque figure perspires
at ery pore as she wheels along the
sti , but she xvas xvell paid for her
labor, and the bloomer craze Ima been
killed forever in Birmingham.

HORSEFLESH SOLD FOR FOOD.]
Mnrket Inspector DhvU, of S*«'i Francisco,
Searctilnc for Offender*.
Horse flesh is being sold in San Fran
cisco for food. Who is soiling it or
who is buying it is not yet definitely
knoxvn. although the authorities have
suspicions which may become some
thing more substantial in a few days.
Chief Market Inspector Davis has be
gun his investigation by raiding txvo
establishments where horses tire killed
and prepared as if for the market. He
found the animals killed, quartered and
hung on hooks and for sale or for what
disposition their owners ear/ d to make
of them. This followed his inquiry
into places recking xvith filth and he
will swear out complaints against two
of the offenders whose offense has been
acknowledged.

CongreMman Otey Ha* a Hill to Offer In
tbe Next Congre**.
Congressman Peter J. Otey, of Vir-
gliia, will offer a bill in congress soon,
providing that the United States shall

ceed five per cent, on $27,000,000, to be
applied to the relief of disabled and
dependent ex-confederate soldiers. Mr.
Otey asks for tho interest on this sum^
because the abandoned property cap
tured from the people of the eon fed
erate states and sold and converte
into the l uited States treasury amount
cd to $27,000,000. He will make it
condition of payment that each one'
of the southern states shall first a|>-
proprinte for the same purpose a sum
equal to that to be allotted to tha
