Owing to the fact that counterfeit coins are bad conductors, Professor Elihu Thbiuson suggests the electric current as a means of detecting spurious money.

A scientist has computed that 10,000 threads of the web of a full grown spidei are net larger thatf a single hair of a man's beard. He calculates that waen young spiders begin to spin, 400 of their threads arc not larger than one from a fullsizjd inse:t. If this ba a fact, 4, 000,000 webs of a young spider are not as large as a single haii- from a man's face. In a discussion on diphtheria, pub lished in the British Medical Journal, Dr. Russell cited several instances in which steam seemed to be an active factor in the propagation of the disease. Hot water and steam from a factory were 1 introduced into some old Cesspools and evidently wakened into activity germs which, if undisturbed, would have re mained dormant. An interesting applicatioi of the stethoscope is seen in a new instrument by which the dimensions and outline of the living human heart are obtained. The one physician in New York using the instrument asserts that he can estab lish the outline of the heart so accurately that it would be possible with certainty to thrust a pin through the patient's che3t to a point within a hair's braadth of the heart without touching the latter. MONTANA CATTLE. IN BAD YEARS THEY ARE IiEFT TO DIE BY THE THOUSANDS. Glance at the Cattle and Sheep Industry ot the Far North-, , west Raisins Mules and Horses. T HE reader would not suppose there wai cruelty in the mere feeding of cattle on the plains, but let him go. to Montana and talk with the people there, and he will shutter at what he hears. The cattle owners or cowmen are in Wall street or the south of France, or in Florida, in the winter, but their cattle are on the wintry fields, where every now and then, say once in four years, half of them, or eighty per cent., or one in three (as it happens) starve to deatn because ot tneir inability to get at the grass under the . . i .1 : - J snow. A norse or a muie uau uig uuwu to the grass. Those animals have a jom in their legs which the horned cattle do not possess, and which enables those animals which possess it to "paw." Sheep are taken to especial feeding erounds and watched over. But the cow- men do business ou the principal tnat the rains in eood yeara far more than offset the losses in bad years, aud so when the bad years come the poor beasts die by the thousands totter along until they fall down, the living always trying to reach the body of a dead one to fall upon, and then they Ireeze to aeatn, fate that never betalls a steer or cow when it can get food. . Already, on some of the ranges, the "cowmen ' (cattle owners) are growing tired of relying upon Providence to su perintend their business, and they are sending men to look after the herds once a month, and to pick out the calves and weaker cattle and drive tnem to wnere hay is stored. By spring time one in every fifteen or twenty in-i large herds will have been cared for in this way. In far eastern Montana range feeding in large herds will long continue, but in at least five-sevenths of the State, irri gation and the cultivation of the soil will soon end-- it. ' The hills and upper benches, all covered with self-curing bunch grass, will still remain, and will forever be used for the maintenance ol small herds of cows and sheep, properly attended and provided with corrals and hay, against.lne times when the beasts must be fed.

Last year the cattle business in Montana was worth ten millions of dollars-$o the owners of the . herds. "Providence was on deck," as the cow boys would say. But the sheep there brought twelve millions of pounds of wool on their backs in the same Tear. They are banded in herds of about two thousand head, and each head is in charge of one solitary, lonely, forsaken herder, who will surprise his employers if he remains a sane man any great length ot time. In the summer these herders sleep in tents, and the ranch foremen start out with fresh provisions at infrequent intervals, and hunt up their men as they follow the herds. In the. winter the grazing is done in sheltered places especially chosen. On the winter grounds a corral is built, and thirty to forty ton- of hay are stored there for emergencies when the snow lies thick on the ground. It i3 a prime country Jfor sheep. Tney get heavy coats, and are subject to no epi demic diseases. The grass is rich and plenty, and the warm Pacific winds soon melt what snows occasionally cover the ground. The wool ranks nest to that from Australia. The tendency of the. sheep-herders to become insane is the most unpleasant accompaniment of the business,; .except the r various forms of mutilation' of the sheep for business rea sons. The constant bleating of the sheep and the herder's loneliness, spend ing weeks and months without any com panionship except that of a dag and the herd, are the" causes that are commonly accepted to account for the fact that so many herders go insane. Since I found insanity terribly common among the pioneers on the plains in Canada, where no sheep were raised, I prefer to leave the incessant bleating of the sheep out of the calculation, and to call it loneli ness and yet, in my opinion that is not the sole reason. The horse market has been . very poor for some time, and mules are being raised for the market with better results. The substitution of electric for horse power on street railways has lessened the demand for horses and so has the use of steam farming implements. There has been an over-supply of horses as well. But the Montana men find horses a good investment. It costs nothing to raise them, and all breed seems to improve there. They get great lung develop ment, and acquire no diseases. When they cannot be sold for from $50 to $100 apiece, the owners keep them until they do fetch those prices. Harper s zine. I Kerits of Yarlons Foods. There will always be difference ol opinion as to the respective merits of the various kinds ot looa useu iur uumau subsistence. The vegetarians point to splendid epecimensof humanity, brought up in their faith and practice, as proof. that the products ot tne Kiicneu g are the most natural and wholesome food for man, while the advocates of the various rftoldern systems of physical train ing are jusf as emphatic in their beliel that animal food is essential to the per fect physical and mental . condition of man.! This belief is in the line with tho conclusion arrived8 at by an eminent American physician a few years ago. He established a series of careful tests, ex tending over a considerable period, and employed a number of men by the month, to do nothing but take the kind of food he gave them at whatever time and for whateverlenath ot time he uesirea. ine physical condition of these men was ac-cu-ately tested and recorded, and the re sult which have been preserved are most interesting reading. Oatmeal,which has quite a resptctablc reputation as an article of breakfat?diet, was found to be a most undcdratjtefoo, and John son's definition of it as an article "used in England as a food for horses and in Scotland as a food for men" was thor oughly vindicated. Vegetables were placed very low in the scale of nutrition, and most of them were found to do more harm: than good. .The best results in every way were secured f roai a meat diet. It is beyond question that many races of men who live entirely on animal fool are exceptionally hardy and free from dis eases of all kinds, air Francis Head lived for sdme time with the pampas Indians, who have neither' bread, fruit nor vege tables, but subsist entirel yon the flesh of their mare3. These men pass their lives on horseback, and in spite of the climate, which is burninsr hot in summer and, freezing in winter, go absolutely naked,; not even having a coverning for their heads.- Sir Francis says that after he had been living for three or four months on. beef and water he found himself in a condition of superb health, and felt as if no exertion could kill him. Although he constantly arrived at the camp" so com pletely exhausted that he could not speak, a, few hours' sleep on the ground with his saddle for a pillow always so com pletely restoted him that for a week he could be on his horse every day before" sunrise, ride two or three hours after sun set, and when necessary tire out ten or twelve horses a day. He considers that the condition necessary for covering the immense distances which people in South America are said to ride could only be attained on beef an water. Another con firmation of this view of the diet ques tion! is afforded by the practice of the Gauchos of the Argentine Republic, who livs entirely on roast beef and salt, and, whose sole beverage is mate, or Paraguay tea,! taken without sugar.

Where lamps are used exclusively for iignting a house, lamp chimneys are quite an item of expense, and any hint on how to prevent their breakage will be welcome to all who have been troubled in that way. I have seen two or three in succession broken in one., evening, in what was then to me the most unac countable way. Our lamp merchant said: "Don't wash your chimneys, but wipe tbem clean with dry cloths." That set me thinking. It is the damp then that does it, I said to myself. Why should that bet By a course of reasoning I came to the: conclusion that if the chim neys absorb moisture and are damp in inywise when lighted, steam is soon generated in' the pores, and we all know what steam does, an explosion occurs. That is why -the chimneys fly S3 when they break. If you must wash them, dry them thoroughly in the sun or njar the stove or furnace before using. Chim neys kept in the kitchen get damp on washdays, and should be wiped before usin. Brooklyn Citizen. "At no period in the history of the world was anything more absurd In head drass worn than at the close of the Eighteenth Century. The body of these monuments of ugliness was formed ot tow. over which the hair was turned and false hair added in great curls, bobs and ties, and powdered to profusion, then hung all over with vulgarly large rows ot pearls or glass beads, fit only to decorate a chan delier. Flowers as obtrusive were stuck about this heap of finery, which was sur mounted by broad silken bands and great ostrich feathers, until the head dress of a lady added three feet to her stature." Imagine the discomfiture of people who attended the play and wished to view the stage! Three feet of finery hiding from Bight the very thing one came to see. In this era of tiny theatre bonnets the picture drawn by the famous Stewart reduces to a minimum the in- consideration on the part of our women of to-day who but yesterday, or quite recently, wore the broad flaring street hat to the theatre and expected the people sitting behind to dodge about in order to catch an occasional glimpse of the play and suffer from a crick in their necks for days thereafter.

Two days ago one of the most prominent professional men in New York published letter so ouUpoken, so unusual aa to cause extensive talk and awaken much comment. Yesterday I interviewed the gentleman as to the contents of the letter, and be fully con firmed it in every respect. He not only did this but he also mentioned a number of un usual cases which had come under his obser vation in which little less than a miracle bad been performed . Bo important has the entire subject become that I determined to investigate it to the bottom, and accordingly called upon Mr. Albert O. Eaves, the prominent costumer at No. B'J East Twelfth street, the gentleman mentioned in my interview with the doctor yesterday. Mr. Eaves has made quite a name. A complete knowledgeof history, an appreciation of art and reliability are essen tial in his profession. . 'Mr. Eaves," I said.

"When I think.r he said, "of what my wife once passed through and the condition she is in to-day, 1 cannot but feel gratitude. Nearly three veers 120 she was at the point of death. Yon can understand bow sick she was when I say she was totally blind and lay in a state of unconsciousness.

'1 have had a long, long sleep, she said, upon recovering conscious ness, and I am rejoiced to say that she was restored to -perfect health wholly through the use of Warner's .Safe Cure, which was the remedy we administered when she was past all consciousness." I I looked at Mr. Eaves as be said this. His face was beaming with satisfaction. He continued: The physicians told us, after my wife' recovery, that she could never endure child birth, and yet we have a fine boy nearly a rear old, and do not know what sickness is. attribute it to the wonderful power ot Warner's Safe Cure. Why, my sister, who resides in Virginia, wa, a while ago, afflict ed precisely as my wife had been. 1 at once advised ber to use this same great remedy; it cured her promptly."

I speak from my experience entirely.and you should not be surprised that 1 am so firm a believer in this discovery, which has done so much for me. 1 was not surprised. I saw by every wor 1, by every look, that Mr. Eaves meant all he raid. I had ample confirmation of Dr. Gunn s letter and interview, and I do not wonder that people who have seen suc'a things who have watchei their dearest friends go down into the dark vailey and be brought back into the light, should be both enthusiastic and grateful.

"Xalalnx Cats aad Dors." - In Northern mythology the cat is sup posed to have great influence on the weather, and English sailori still mj : The cat has a gale of wind in her tail," when she is unusually frisky. Witches that rode upon the storms were thought to assume the shape of cats; and in the llarz Mountains the stormy northwest wind is called the cat's nose. The dog is the signal of wind, like the wolf.both of which animals were attendants upon Odin, the storm-god of the Northmen. The cat, therefore symbolizes the down pouring rain, and the dog is the strong gusts of wind that accompany a rain storm. Hence "raining cats and dogs" means a heavy rain with wind.

When the blankets are ready for washing, pour (nto the bottom of the dry tub half a pint of the usual household ammonia water, and over it lay the blanket light ly. Then immediately pour over suffi cient warm water to entirely cover the article. This sends the fumes of the ammonia through the fibres of the blanket and loosens the dirt in a wonder ful manner. The cloth should be pressed tnd stirred about in the liquid tor a time, then remove to another tub con taining simply warm water, of about the tame temperature a? that first employed, and again soused about for a time; after which it is to be lightly run through a wringer and directly hung to dry. The same method of treatment is to be pur sued with each blanket, and the suds are not to be used a second time. Probably this is one of the mo3t economical methods which can be employed, and the least taxing to the physical strength. Unless the blanket is very .dirty, one treatment will i;ive a perfectly satisfac tory result. If there are spots a gentle rubbing between the hands will usually free them from dirt. New York Recorder. The Mysterious Kioro Rat. In that very readable book, "New Zealand After Fifty Years," there are many curious stories told about theTfew animals that are natives of or have been brought to the island. It seems ' that the original discoverer found but three species of mammals, two bats and a very small rat called kiore by the natives. The kiore is now almost extinct at times, : but occasionally appears in extraordinary numbers,coming, nobody knows whence, and going, no one knows whither. In 1886 the west coast (no other portion) of the . island was overrun by countless millions of them, each pressing forward as rapidly as possible, seeming to have but one idea in view, to get away from the place with , all speed. They were never seen to eat and moved at a steady gait night and day. Thousands., and thousands of them perished from hunger and the attacks of a larger imported rati For eleven weeks the coast for 150 miles literally swaraied with kiore?, but at last they suddenly disappeared. That has been six years ago, but the scientists have not yet .decided where they came from or where they went. St. Louis Republic. lx" Giant Powder in Their Boots. ( . It is a curious fact that no one miner out of every hundred who has had. any experience will do anything but put the sticks of giants powder into his bootlegs.' He knows just about how much giant, powder he will need during the shift, and these he receives before he enters the shaft-house to go down. Then he care fully places it in the leg of his boot and in this manner conveys it into the mine.: The miners have stopped "crimping" the fulminating caps with their teeth. This is due,' probably, to the suicide at Chi cago of Lingg, one of the anarchists, who was sentenced to be hanged with Spies and the rest. Lingg exploded one of the caps by biting it and blew most of his head off. Now the majority of the miners crimp the cap on the heel of their boot with a knife.

Until a generation go a woman doctor was hardly known within the circle of the regular medical profession, and they were looked upon in every community as charlatans or crf.nks. The prejudice against them entering the medical profession was almost universal, and strange as it may seem the prejudice of women against their own sex in a profession for which they should be specially fitted and in which they are specially needed, was even more profound than the same pre judice among the sterner sex. But steadily, though slowly, public senti ment has advanced to accord to women the obvious just right of entering any of the protessions, and women now prac tice both law and medicine in every sec tion of the country. The progress of the age in advancing women to their just rights in the battle of life was impressively illustrated in the Academy of Music during the last week, when forty-two young women appeared upon the stage as graduates of the Woman's Medical College, of this city, with their fairly won titles of Doctors of Medicine. It is gratifying to know that this college has been in existence for forty years, but it is only within the last score of years that it has been able to present anything approaching a ' gradua ting class respectable in numbers. Now women practitioners are not only known but respected in almost every community, and the success they have attained in the profession more than justifies the great battle that was fought to win for them open doors to distinction in the profes sion. ' ! i It will seem strange to the readers ol history half a century hence to learn that women were excluded from the profes sions of the country until even after th noon -tide of the Nineteenth Century, for thtre is little reason to doubt that in much less than half a century women physicians will fairly divide the medical practice with their professional brethern, and men physicians, iu the many cases in which every consideration of. delicacy should prefer a women physician, will be quite as uncommon as women were generations ago. Philadelphia Times. The First -Human Ostrich" The first case on record of a human being indiscriminately devouring every thing that came within his reach is that of the French boy, Tarare, who first gave an'exhibition of the capacity aad strength of his stomach by eating a full peck of carrots and seven bars of soap with ap parent relish. Of course, he was not always a boy, and as he grew up the freakish antics of his stomach took many varied twists. On one occasion, when a druggist's back was turned, Tarare hastily swallowed a couple of dozen of corks of all sizes. At last, his stomach being full of such indigestible matter, he became the victim of violent attacks of colic and was finally compelled to seek the advice of M. Oirard, of the-Ilotel Dieu. Oirard called a council of phy sicians and Tarare's case was thoroughly discussed. Tbey tried to explain to the man what would be the final outcome of such performances, but wese greatly sur prised, if not angered and chagrined, to find that he had actually swallowed a watch chain, seals and all, beside a bunch of seven keys and a clove hook which weie on an ivory ring nearly two inches in diameter; all this while the learned gentlemen were lecturing him 1 At the time of this examination be regularly ate twenty-four pounds of beef a day, lie side other victuals in proportionate quantities. He now entered the French Army, being first attached to the Ninth Regiment of Hussars, Major Courville retaining him as a freak. He was daily allowed the regular rations of three men it 1 the right to the refused scraps and atber pickings. When on the march he would catch eels and serpents and swallow them whole. On one occasion he ate a cat, bones, fur and all. Colonel Mar pel snd General Beauharris both- make affi davit that they saw him eat thirty pounds of liver at one sitting, and others declare that he once ate a fourteen months old child 1 St. Louis Republic.

FASHION KOTES. i For skirt and blazer white pique is 1 preferred fabric. Yachting suits of burnt sienna are con sidered very natty. Corded challies sprinkled with flowers are a summer novelty. Mantles are made in the visite form, and are of fine cloth in light brown, electric blue or terra cotta. t Hats are a mass of flowers theie days, and the art of imitating nature is fruit ful of most charming results. As a rule, the hair is curled or frizzed in front, the effect being so artistic and J generally becoming that it is still popu ar, notwithstanding predictions to the contrary. Short sleeves have again returned for dinner and theatre toilettes. Sometime? lace is ruffled at the top of the gloves, and often gold bracelets set ;with prec ious stones are worn on the arms. Fur is as much used on evening dresses as in midwinter, and especially on the new change ibl 3 velvets. A hem of fur borders the skirt and defines the neck and sleeves. Chinchilla, otter, blue fox and black fox are the furs used. Neither flowers nor ribbons may be worn, but a bertha bf lace frequently - falls be low the fur. The outside of some of the new pDcket- books represents more value than the in side. White ivory and white kid with silver or gold mountings, gray suede with a covering of woven steel, and lizard skin in dull green with gold fili gree decoration are among the novelties. Heart-shaped purses are newest, and in every case the purses must match the cos tume. " Satin.it is said, is one of the 'coming" materials. Black satin hats and bonnets, wraps and gowns are decidedly fashion able abroad. At the same time they are extremely trying, and to many women exceeding unbecoming. There is a hardness about black satin which can be comprehended only by a profusion of rich jet trimmings, lace, passementerie, chiSoa or something similar, . Where Wolf Hunting rajs. The- wolf-farming industry around Oaleua, III., received a big impetus at the last meeting of the County Board, which ylaced a bounty of ten dollars on old solves and five dollars on whelps. As a tesult the county has spent $500 for woii scalps in the last two months. One individual brought the scalps of twenty e'ght wolves to the County Clerk in one diy and received 150 bounty. The bic bounty makes wolf hunting so profit able that it is alleged that nimrods of contiguous counties drive the wolcs over the border and roucd them up in Jo Daviess, where they kill them for the bounty.
