SIGNS AND OMENS.
Although Mayor Roger Lawson Fulton
cast his chapeau into the arena and ut-
tered his thrilling war cry ome weeks
ago, no political gladiator has answered
the challenge to battle, unsheathed his
trusty sinckeree and demanded to be
shown his cowering victim, but there are
signs and omens that show plainly to the
close observer that Mayor Fulton’s chal-
lenge did not fall upon deaf ears. There
is a kind of a subdued activity, a quiet
restlessness in certain quarters, an up-
roarious silence that argues that in the
not distant hence one or more additional
mayoralty pennants will be nailed to the
masthead and the storm will burst in earn-
est. Already aldermanic slates are being
fixed up by the score. The free and uo
trammeled voter is more importunate in
asking the loan of two bits “just until
morning,” the ward politician swings
around the circle with a brisker air; the
prospective candidate is cultivating a
heartier handshake, he sleeps less and
drinks more; the obliging saloon keeper
has filled up Lis barrel with a new in-
voice of rain water and assorted death—
all these signs point clearly to the fact
that the political pot, while not yet boil-
ing over, is beginning to simmer quite
audibly.

HIGH ABT AT SAN’TONE.
High art may come a little high in Sat
Antonio, but we must have it. Let Gd
veston scream herself hoarse for deep
water, Fort Worth become frantic ovei
the “on to” cry, Houston burst her sus-
penders in reaching for refrigerators and
xuch vulgar things, and Dallas waddle
along with railroad offices, but the Alami-
City prides herself on being able to invi e
them all down to look at pictures to be
exhibited by the Van Dyke Art Club and
listen to the music during the State Ssen-
gerfest. If these towns can appreciau
good things they will take advantage ol
the opportunities offered them by San
Antonio.

THEN AND NOW.
Actors of the present day may have
heir grievances, but they are unques ion
ffily better off than their predecessors on
the boards thirty years ago. John Ryder,
who played seconds to Kean, was for a
long time in receipt of only $17.50 a
week. Before Kean’s time ballet girl-
received only a shilling a night, out of
w hich magnificent sum they had to find
shoes and stockings. Kean raised their
pay te a guinea a week and “found them”
in everyihing. Twenty five thousand
dollars is stated to be the highest sum
ever spent by Kean on a revival. Henry
Irving and Wilson Barrett have frequent-
ly spent more than double that amount.

A Fortunato Collector.
A fortunate New Yorker who has made
money in a specialty is Charles L. Ritz-
mann, who began in 1879 to collect photo-
graphs of prominent persons in social,
religious, theatrical and public life. The
first collection which hung in his show
window comprised five photographs. To-
day he has more than 75,000, the collec-
tion being worth between $50,000 and
$75,000. The market value of the photo-
graphs ranges trom tw6nty-five cents to
$10 each. As an instance of the extensive
variety, it may be noted that he has 350
different poses of Ellen Terry and more
than 250 of Mrs. Langtry.—New York

Saving Bones.
Every farmer understands the value of
bones as a fertilizer, but when one has not
a mill at hand in which to crush or grind
them their preparation becomes an obsta-
cle. There is one method of saving bones
in small amounts which should not be
overlooked. It is to keep a barrel of lye
convenient, into which all tile refuse bones
should be dropped. The result is that
phosphate of potash will be formed,
which, unlike phosphate of lime, is solu-
ble in matter, making one of the most
valuable fertilizers known.

Hypodermic Injections Which Frequently
Cause Death—A Physician’s Views.
That the drinking and smoking of lau-
danum and opium are not unknown vices
in New York, any physiefs n will affirm.
But there is a practice wbioa is even more
deleterious—the use of the hypodermic syr-
inge. To estimate the growth of this
evil it is only necessary to take the testi-
mony of druggists and dealers in surgical
instruments. The fact is it has become a
problem with which social reformer must
deal.
A reporter talked the other day with a
prominent physician upon this topic.
“Many medical men,” said he, “are un-
aware that the use of the hypodermic syr-
inge is always attended with danger of
instant death. The cause of this danger
is not well understood, but the fatal acci-
dents that have been recorded were not
due to the fairing of larger doses than
usual by mistake, nor to the cumulative
effects of the drug. Cases have occurred
in which persons have taken large doses
for months without producing a single un-
pleasant symptom, and have died in a few
minutes from the effects of a quarter of
the habitual quantity taken in the usual
manner and at the regular hour.
“There is danger of fatality against
which no vigilance can guard. The symp-
toms are not always so severe as to pro-
duce coina, unless arrested. They occur
about once in 100 administrations, and
prove fatal at least once in ten. That is
to say, a man who uses the hypodermic
syringe at the rate of ten punctures a day,
which is a very moderate average, should
encounter the symptoms and their at-
tendant danger of death once in every ten
days on the average, and the probability
is that they will prove fatal within six
months after the habit is formed. The
clanger that he may be found dead is thus
always a real one with the habitue of the
hypodermic, a danger that may at any
moment involve a coroner’s inquest and
the imputation of suicide.”—New York
Mail and Express.
The solemn church bell pealing on the ear,
In brazen accents seem to say,
“Come stricken heart and find v
Cbme, sinner: come, and pray/'
And fast they come arrayed in fashion’s pride^
In silks and satins shimmering gorgeously;
To lay the burdens of the week aside
And bow the suppliant knee.
If one could for the moment stand s*oo£
Impersonal, with power to read the stream
Of thoughts uprising toward that lofty roof,
How wondrous strange’t would seem.
Fair Nellie, hoping she won’t get too stout.
Her father scheming to increase his hoard,
While over all the preacher’s voice rings out,
“Hear us, good Lord.”
While Charlie prays the tailor will give time,
Maud sighs for gowns she knows she can’t af-
ford
And Helen hopes that flirting is no sin.
“Hear'us, good Lord.”
Some wish for luxuries and some for love,
Some for revenge, some only sigh for rest,
Some fix their souls upon the realms above,
Some laugh and jest.
I often wonder does the preacher know
What lies behind that mask of seriousness
Upturned before him, placid, row on row.
I wonder does he guess?
Well, I myself ha,ve little cause for pride,
For following aimlessly this idle dream
Instead of listening, rapt and eager eyed,
Unto the preacher’s theme. .
The benediction finished, we arise.
Let’s vow while going to our several dinners
To try to be, so far as in us lies,
A decent lot of miserable sinners.
How Crackle Glass is Made.
Crackle glass is still very fashionable.
The cracked appearance is produced by
covering the outside of the glass piece to
be crackled with a stratum of flux, or
fusile glass, mixed with fragments of
glass. In this condition it is placed in a
muffle, or bpen furnace, where it is
strongly heated. As soon as the flux
melts, and the glass itself has become red
hot, it is removed from the furnace and
rapidly cooled. The flux or fusible glass
under this treatment cracks and splits,
leaving innumerable fine lines of fracture
all over its surface, having the appear-
ance of scales or irregular crystals, which
cross and intersect each other in every
direction, producing striking and beautiful
effects when the light falls upon its sur-
face.—Clara Belle in Cincinnati Enquirer.

Coins of the Confederacy.
A correspondent asks if there were any
coins made by the southern Confederacy.
I answer yes, however much it may have
been denied. There were four silver half
dollars coined, and no more. The difficulty
of obtaining bullion forced the mint to
close April 30, 1861. One is owned by
Professor Biddle, of the Louisiana univer-
sity, and another is in the possession of
Dr. Ames, of New Orleans. I do not know
where the other two are. Copies may
have since been struck from the same die.
On the obverse of the coin is a representa-
tion of the Goddess of Liberty surrounded
by thirteen stars, denoting the thirteen
states from which the Confederacy sprung,
and on the lower rim the figures 1861.
On the reverse there is a shield with seven
stars, representing the seceding states;
above the shield is a liberty cap, and en-
twined around it are stalks of sugar cane
and cotton and “Confederate States of
America.”—“Observer” in Philadelphia

Paris’ Tenement Population.
In Paris the tenement population in-
creased from 142,671 persons in 1876 to
243,564 in 1882. One block, containing
1,800 persons, has no water supply what-
ever. The usual drainage in such build-
ings is through chutes leading from differ-
ent floors into a hogshead in the cellar,
which is emptied as occasion requires.
According to M. Naduad, there are 219,-
270 houses in France without any windows
whatever, light and air being admitted
through a hole in the door, which has to
be stopped in wet or cold weather. In
Paris, although 60,000 tenements have
been dealt with by the authorities under
the act of 1850, there are some 4,000 per-
sons living in single rooms without means
of warming, and half as many others
occupy rooms with no opening for light
and air. Nearly 30,000 habitations con-
sist of a single room only. This over-
crowding is partly the result of the de-
struction of small buildings to make room
for costly apartment houses. A municipal
commission recently appointed in Paris
proposes that cheap tenements should be
built on unoccupied sites belonging to the
city.-—New York Journal.

Some Senatorial Peculiarities.
When Gen. Sam Houston, of Texas, was
in the senate of the United States the door-
keeper always provided half a dozen small
sticks of white pine to be placed on his
desk every morning. When the senator
would come in he would first .sharpen his
knife on a bone, which he kept in the
drawer of his desk, and then whittle one
of these pieces of pine, sometimes into a
grotesque figure, and then simply cut it
into strips or chips. When one piece was
finished he would take another, and he
generally used five a day. Mr. Reagan
tears up paper from one of the public
documents in his desk, and when he has
several of these he tears them transversely
into small squares, which are scattered all
about him. Then he will brush small
pieces off his lap and take another page,
which in turn will be torn up into litter.—

The Exploit of a Baud of Female Mex-
icans During Maximilian’s Regime.
Aside from the class of females com-
monly known as camp followers, who
share the fortunes of war without leave
or license, the Mexican government per-
mits a limited number of respectable
married women to accompany each regi-
ment to cook and wash for the soldiers. .
These women are regularly enrolled as
soldaderas (female soldiers), and admir-
ably they bear the fatigues of camp life
and long marches. That they are not
bad warriors in their way the following
story is proof:
During Maximilian’s regime, when
European forces were in possession of
the Mexican capital, and President
Juarez, with his cabinet and guard, were
trying to make their way to Paso del
Norte, he and his counselors had halted
one day in a wayside grove to hold an
important conference. Juarez was seated
on a rock with • the statesmen grouped
around him and the military escort on
on guard. The old poet, Guilormo
Prieto, who was a member of the cabi-
net, had just arisen to state his opinion
on a momentous subject, when the
solemn conclave was interrupted by
shouts of laughter, mingled with oaths
and threats in French and Spanish.
All sprang to their feet, and the cap-
tain of the guard, followed by his men,
rushed to the quarter whence the sounds
proceeded. Presently they returned
bringing four soldaderas, who bore upon
their shoulders a Frenchman whom they
had captured. Believing him to be a spy
they first enticed him with cunning flat-
tery, and then hastily binding him hand
and foot with their rebosas, had carried
him two or three miles despite his kicks
and struggles. When the women depos-
ited their prisoner at the feet of the pres-
ident the elder soldadera excused herself
for the failure of her proposed foraging
expedition, saying:
“Senor Presidente, we thought this
Frenchman might have papers which
your excellency would prize more than a
fat turkey or a young pig.”
True enough, on the person of the spy
was found a communication from the
commander-in-chief of the imperial forces
to the commander of the neighboring
garrison, stating that Juarez and his cab-
inet would probably pass in that vicinity,
and accompanying this intelligence was
the formal order: “Shoot every Mexican
rebel taken in arms against the imperial
government of his majesty Maximilian
I.”—Mexico Cor. Philadelphia Record.
Breeding Fure T?reo&L
At a recent public meeting in Massa-
1 chusetts, O. B. Hadwen, of Worcester,
an extensive breeder of Jersey cattle,
your solace here; made the remark that “the time may
have gone by for breeding pure breeds,
and has come when cows will be sold on
their merits.” Mr. Hadwen admitted
that he had been sadly disappointed in I ' ■
the stock he had bought, basing his expec-
tations on the purity of the blood. He 1

THE PBOHIBS
ararshalinR for Battle—A Bitter Fight—
‘•'Bum Joints” and “Blind Tigers.”
The prohibs ean war clear up to the
huckhorn handle. They are organizing in
a systematic manner, and if the anlies
think they can afford to sit down and
fold their hands and indulge in cynical
smiles they are somewhat mistaken.
Texas has just about as many cranks
and misguided moralists who think it
their duty to forsake the lowly cotton
hoe and homely bucksaw to meddle
with the private business of their
fellow-men as any state of its population.
These would-be reformers will strain
every nerve to place the shackles upon
personal liberty and inaugurate a reiyn 6’
Puritanical intermeddling, and unless tht
friends of free lorn are up and doing they
will succeed. Of course they cannot ban-
ish liquors from the state, cannot
prevent its being sold, but they can
drive men to do that in secret which they
have a legal and moral right to do openly,
can humiliate Texas manhood by estab-
lishing a piotectorate over it, can succeed
in diminishing the revenues of the stale,
but cannot accomplish theii alleged ob-
ject—that of suppressing the liquor traf-
fic. Evening Tribune has been cen
cured by some well-meaning people fot
its outspoken opposition to prohibition
Its reasons for so doing have been fre-
quently asked. To all such it would
simply say that while it regards
^drunkeness a crime, it does not believe
that one man should be forbidden to ea>
< r diink what he may desire because hi-
brother allows his stomach to rise supe-
rior to his brains. The intemperate use
of liquors is the cause of much misery,
degradation and crime, but because soon
men eat too much, or drink too much,
or ruin their health, temper, or squander
their fortunes in excesses is it just or
proper that the liberties of all should be
curtailed? Paul said something about
abstaining from meat if such abstinance
would prevent his brother offending
What a man does of his own free will,
tor his brother’s sake, and what the law
compels him to do against his will are
vastly different things. If it were pos
sible to accomplish any permanent good
by the adoption of the stringent measun s
proposed by the prohibs the matter would
be worth considering, but prohibition
has been tried time and again and ha-
always proved a successful failure. It
simply results in the abolishment of bar
rooms and the substitution of secret dog
geries, the “blind tiger,” for the ope"
sale, the “rum joint” for the quasi re-
spectable saloon.
A statistician declares that, while the
| annual increase of population is less than

Bears in Alaska.
The bears around Icy bay live off of
berries and roots, supplemented on the
meat side of the diet with an occasional
seal that they find “hauled up” on the
sandy beach, sunning himself and whose
retreat they strategically cut off by a
well arranged plan of bear tactics. The
river emptying into this Icy bay (the
whole western shore of which is the
frowning front of an immense glacier),
debouching as they do from the ice, con-
tains but few fish, and this deprives the
bears of this region of one of their main
and steadfast supplies, during the spring
and summer season, in all other parts of
Alaska. The bears, black and’ brown,
then seek the rivers and streams, up
which the lucious fish ascend to spawn,
and readily gain a living, without the
trouble of much effort.
Their great protection at this season of
the year is found in the poor and even
tainted quality of their meat, owing to
the fact that they are not overly delicate
in choosing between fresh fish just caught
from the stream and those that have died
on their way up the creeks and rivers,
and have been thrown out on the bank
for a number of days, until they take up
that od or so peculiar to decaying fish. The
huge brown bear is a less active animal,
and consequently a poorer fisherman than
his smaller brother of the black species.
He is, therefore, more content to live on
the fish he finds so conveniently strewn
along the shores of the stream that he
prospects, and this accounts to a great ex-
tent for the greater offensiveness of liis
meat, whenever a hunter is lucky
enough in securing him.—Lieut. Schwat-
ka in American Field.
