Chief Engineer Gearing belongs to the
firm that built the two great Inman
steamers. City of New lurk and City of
Paris, and until the launching of the lat
ter haa been off the water for six years.
He started out to make the initial trip
with the City of Paris, and may follow her
until the problems of twin-screw naviga
tion we settled and new records made all
around. A glance at his duties below
decks gives some ides of the responsibili
ties of an ocean engineer.
Pint, he has under him 134 men.
This includes 18 engineen for propelling
machinery, 3 electrician*, 2 hydraulic ex
perts, 2 refrigerator expert*. 9 water
tenders, 3 ttorekeepers.3 auxiliary lx er
men, or ‘‘donkey men,” at they are known
on the other tide: 32 oilers. 54 ■ stokers,"
or firemen, and 57 coal piasters.
Coder hit supervision are the two
great engines of 20,000 horse-power, four
circulatory engines for driving the
centrifugal pump, four feed-pump en
gines and four electric dynamos. Th‘rs<
run day and night from the start to the
finish, and must be in perfect order and
work harmoniously to produce the best
results. Then the boiler rooms, the coal
bunkers, the ventilation of the ship all
call for more than the daily inspection of
the chief engineer, and this is how he
does it:
The City of Paris is about leaving
Liverpool for New York on her trip. On
deck there is the hurry and bustle
familiar to every one who has ever crossed
the Atlantic. Down below it is differ
ent. Everything is quiet, and the men
move about like automatons. There is
as air of suppressed excitement, how
ever, a feeling of intense anxiety, ob
servable on all sides. The chief engineer
in his black and oily overall* has just
finished his final inspection. He has
gone into the coal bunkers and calculated
the amount of coal with which he has
been credited with, and if it has been
properly put in so as to not make the ves
sel uncomfortable by shifting. Every
pipe has been tested, every screw and
nut, every crank, piston and pin in all
the giant plant has been inspected and
tried, and to all outward appearance*
there Ls nothing but adverse weather to
fear. But he is restless. A loose screw
in an oil box, as big as a shingle nail,
might cause hours' delay or loss of speed.
The signal is given, the start is made.
For hours he watches the crank shaft and
crank pins to see that the shaft doe* not
“heat. ’’ The crank runs in bearings of
white metal, which melts at 430 degrees,
and runs out. Hours would be lost in
refitting. The circulatory engines must
also be watched, and the centrifugal
pumps kept in order. There are two of
these in each of the two big engine
rooms, each with a capacity of 1200 bar
rels per hour, and their duties are mani
fold. They must not only supply the
boilers, but also constantly control the
amount of waste water the vessel carries
for ballast. A leak in one side would
necessitate the shipping of the water on
the other to preserve the equilibrium.
The lowering of the coal in the bunkers
as tho steamer continues on her way is
counterbalanced in the same way. The
chief engineer keeps an eye constantly on
these great pumps. The feed pumps,
which carry water to feed the tanks.must
start at the same time as the propelling
engine, and never stop until port is
reached.
Another vital point which the engineer
must watch critically is the hydraulic
gear by which the vessel is steered, and
which enlists the services of two automatic
pumping engines in each engine room.
Occasionally, too, he must look into the
electric engine room, where four big dy
namos run the electric lighting of the
ship. Two of them must be nis through
the day to illuminate the entire lower
portion of the ship, the engine room, fire
room, etc.
All these things the engineer must 1*
sure of. The vessel started without *
break. Like the wheels of a watch
turned the vast machinery, and a watch
of two hours showed no weakness, no
heating, no friction. Then came a visit
to the boiler-room, and after a careful
Inspection, a short talk with the engineer
in charge. It as to the point, and to
this effect:
“I want steam on this trip, and we are
not trying to save coal.”
“Aye, aye, sir.”
Mr. Gearing got his steam, but it cost
the Inman people something over 300
tons of coal a day. There are three
sections of boilers, and each section used
an average of from four to four and a half
tons each hour. Now for the first time
in upward of twelve houre the engineer
went to his room. After he had lunched
the first log came to his hands. An
engineer’s log is a complicated affair.
Never did trained nurse or anxious phy
sician watch a fevered patient more
closely than he watches his trust.
The log is filled out every four
hours. It includes a record of steam
from the boilers, first receiver, second re
ceiver, vacuum, height of barometer,
temperature of sea water, temperature of
water in feed tanks, revolutions of screws,
expansion of cylinder stores, dynamos,
state of wind, state of sea, and a dozen
of other things inextricably confusing and
useless to the lay mind. But they are
not to the engineer, who sees in the mass
of figures where greater speed can be
made, where waste energy can be utilized
and waste of energy cut off.
During the afternoon the engineer and
his clerk calculate percentages from this
and make out such records as shall go on
the ship’s log and attend to other duties.

A young man stepped up to the counlet

TO REMOVE SPOTS A NT) STAINS.
Benzine is the best and cheapest sub
stance for removing grease, resin, stear
ine, paraffine, tar, or other spots from
clothing. For spot* of oil it is best to
add a UttU alcohol ether. Indelible ink
can be removed, even after a long time,
by means of cyanide of potassium ap
plied in a concentrated solution. Rust
spot* can be made to disappear by treat
ment with a wgak solution composed of
one part citric acid and twenty-five of
water, and afterward rinsing with water
and ammonia: copper spots by diluted
sulphuric acid and ammonia, and subse
quently with water and ammonia. Spots
of paint, when not soluble in water and
alcohol, can almost always be removed
by oil of turpentine. For complete re
moval it is necessary to wash the spot
afterward in a good deal of turpentine.
Fruit, wine and similar spots are to be
treated by sulphurous acid, in the form
of gas or dissolved in water: in the first
case the substance to be treated is
stretched over burning sulphur, and in
the latter, moisted with the solution and
washed with water. — Couner-Journal.
RIPENED MEATS.
People accustomed to fowl and other
meats bought in the markets are apt to be
disappointed in the quality of the chicken
they raise themselves with great care and
expectation. To their surprise they find
it not so tender and of less delicate flavor,
and pleasant anticipations of rewards of
country or suburban life are to this ex
tent cruelly crushed. The principal rea
son is, the unripe condition in which
home-dressed fowl is almost invariably
cooked. Caterers who appreciate the ad
vantage of pleasing their customers do
not serve them with recently slaughtered
meats. Epicures prefer that all meats,
especially fowl and game, be kept as long
as possible without becoming actually
tainted.
If a lady will provide a suitable re
frigerator and ripen the meat before Bhe
cooks it, she will learn with experience
that an old fowl well ripened is a dain
tier morsel than the finest chicken just
slain. One reason, and a very potent
one, why Western-dressed beef is crowd
ing domestic meats out of our local mar
kets is that it is more thoroughly ripened.
Our local butchers do not provide them
selves with the means of perfecting their
meats before putting them into the retail
markets, while the others come to them
already much improved by time. Im
mense quantities of meat were formerly
sold the same day it was slaughtered, and
while still unfit for food for anybody but
savages. —New York Tribune.

4 STORT ABOCT BALTIMORE GIRLS.
One of the latest fads of Baltimore
girls is to dress in black from head tc
foot, with veil and gloves to match, and
then, borrowing a neighbor's child, show
it around the city. Of course, the
natural supposition is that the child it
not borrowed, and that the lady is a
a widow. Asa widow is generally sup
posed to be ready to recontract matri
mony, the sympathies of the susceptible
young man are readily aroused, first by
curiosity as to how long the child's
father has been dead; then, what he died
of, and, since the widow seems to mourn
for him. how she must have cared for the
dear departed. And, if she did care for
him, why might she not care also for
another, and why might not he be the
fortunate individual, especially if the
first husband left cash enough for the sup
port of two or three, as the case might
Le. Of course, when acquaintance fol
lows, the apparent widowhood can be
easily and innocently explained, and the
desired happy result follow. —BaUxmort

now TO KEEP A TRIM FIGURE.
Women who wish to preserve the slim
ness and contour of their figures must be
gin by learning to stand well, says a
writer in Dress That is explained to
mean the throwing forward and upward
of the chest, the flattening of the back,
with the shoulder blades held in theii
proper places and definite curving in of
the small of the back. No other women
hold themselves so well as the aristocratic
English women. Much of their beauty
lies in their proud carriage, the delicate
erectness of their figures and the fine
poise of their heads.
The same aristocratic carriage is within
the reach of any American girl who takes
the pains to have it; it is only the ques
tion of a few years of eternal vigilance,
never relaxing her watchfulness over her
self, and sitting or standing, always pre
serving her erectness and poise, the result
being that at the end of that time it has
become second nature to her, and she
never afterward loses it. Another thing
to avoid is a bad habit of going upstairs,
which most women do, bent forward,
with the chest contracted, which, as well
as an indolent, slouchv manner of walk
ing, is injurious to the heart and lungs.
MRS. CLEVELAND MET MRS. RATES.
There was an incident at the Centen

Mrs. Cleveland and Sirs. Hayes as it wai
amusing to the bystanders. Mrs. Cleve
land had expressed a desire .to be intro
duced to Mrs. Hayes, so was led to her
box by one of the Four Hundred who
was dancing attendance upon her. Mrs.
Hayes being engrossed in a conversation
at the time and not immediately recogni
zing her visitor, simply acknowledged
the introduction and went on with her
conversation. Mrs. Cleveland stood slight
ly embarrassed for a moment, and then
turned and walked out of the box feeling
decidedly chagrined. In the meantime
Mrs. Hayes, who had supposed all along
that her visitor was one of the numerous
class of people who seek introductions or
such occasions, looked up and discovered
that the lady who had just been introduced
to her had gone, inquired casually whal
her name was, and was much amazed as
well as chagrined when a gentleman
standing by replied: “Mrs. Cleveland —
Mrs. Grover Cleveland—Mrs. ex-Presi
dent Cleveland.” And Mrs. Hayes fran
tically shouted for the General. “Call
the General; bring him to me,”and when
the General arrived Mrs. Hayes was at
once led to Sirs. Cleveland’s box and was
introduced over again to the ex-Presi
dent’s wife, where she apologized for and
; fully explained the reason for her lack of
cordiality. —New York Herald.

Jealousy in a lover is a homage; in •

Happiness is like the echo; it answers

Forgiveness is almost indifference; wbc

Friendship based solely upon gratitude

Friendship is constant in all other

Friendship diminishes when there is too
much happiness on either side and too

There is but one happiness—duty.
There is but one consolation—work.
There is but one delight—the beautiful.
A woman does not become a mother;

W‘
The Bloodhound.
Frem an article in the Century we
quote the following: “Some few years
ago the idea of the use of bloodhounds
for detective purposes was mooted in the
daily papers, and the howl of horror at
the barbarity of such a proceeding that it
raised from the uninformed was most
amusing to those who know the tractabil
ity of the bloodhound. He was associated
with the tales of slave-hunting in ‘Uncle
Tom s Cabin’ and -Dred,’ and was sup
posed to be a ferocious monster, endowed
with witeh-like attributes, and capable
of pursuing his victim successfully under
any conditions until caught, when he
would certainly tear him limb from limb.
“The horrible murders committed in
the East End of London last year and the
complete failure of the police to trace the
perpetrator of these outrages were the
means of calling attention once more to
the qualifications of this old time detec
tive. The daily papers were filled with
letters advocating his use; but, from the
thoroughly impractible nature of many of
these epistles, I fear that the change in
public opinion was due more to a strong
desire for vengeance on an exceptionally
loathsome miscreant than to increased
knowledge of the disposition of the blood
hound. At one time the police received
about 1200 letters daily containing various
suggestions, and of these, some 400 pro
posed the use of bloodhounds. Some of
the newspaper correspondents seemed to
believe that the police had only to take a
bloodhound of any kind to the place
where a murder had been committed
weeks or months before, and the animal
would at once scent out the trail of the
murderer in preference to thousands of
others and infallibly run the man down.
“In the beginning of October I was
consulted by Sir Charles Warren, then
the Chief Commissioner of Metropolitan
Police, as to the feasibility of employing
bloodhounds to track the Whitechapel
murderer, and after some correspondence
I took two hounds up to London to ex
periment with. We ran them repeatedly
in the parks for the information of police
iuthorities and various representatives of
the press, and sufficiently demonstrated
the facts that the hounds will run a man
who is a complete stranger to them, that
when they have come up to their man
they will not molest him in any way. and
that although the line may be crossed by
others they will not change. While in
London I never ran them without the line
of the hunted man being crossed (often
by quite a number of people), but the
hounds never once changed. They could
carry the line across and for a short way
dong the gravel paths in the parks, but
the experiments made on the London
stones could not be considered as satis
factory as we should have wished. Hunt
ing the clean boot on a London pavement
is, I believe, the most severe test that any
hound can be put to, and will of course
require special and careful training. ”
A Mad Buzzard Attacks a Mule.
Owen Woolfolk, employed as engineer
on the ferryboat V. Owen, running be
tween Paducah, Ky., and Brooklyn, 111.,
relates a story of his desperate encounter
with a mad buzzard a few days ago.
Mr. Woolfolk says he was accompanied
by Squire Sidener, and was driving along
the road on the Illinois side of the river,
between Stsington and the ferry landing,
in the afternoon, when a mad buzzard
made a violent attack upon the mule
which was drawing the buggy. The
animal plunged and kicked, and it was
with difficulty that they restrained the
animal from running away. After leav
ing the mule the bird turned its attention
to the occupants of the buggy, and made
repeated assaults, and it was only by vig
orous application of the whip and an old
sack which happened to be in the buggy
that they were enabled to defend them
selves and finally kill the mad bird.
There have been quite a number of
rabid dogs killed in that vicinity recently,
and it is supposed that the bird received
hydrophobia by partaking of the car
casses of the deceased animals. Sir. Owen
says it was the most desperate battle he
ever engaged in, and that he does not
care to repeat it.— St. Louie Globe-

This world is not so very bad,

But we could make it much more glad.
Could we but have our way.
We very quickly would destroy
Some foes to earthly bliss.

We’d bottle up in this:
You’ve met the individual.
The hero quite unknown,
Who oft his wondrous tales will tell
Of doings all his own.
His future fame he paints for you.
Or pictures what he was,
And this is what he’s going to do:
And this is what he does:
Then there's the dry-goods salesman's bore,
A female, by the way,
Who on her rounds from store to store
Is sure to go each day.
She lingers longest "opening days.”
And the salesman's patience tries.
For here’s the goods which he displays:
And here is what she buys:
The iceman is vexatious, too,
And doesn’t care a pin
Our comforts to enlarge upon,
Our sympathies to win.
And though we’re forced to bow to him;
Respect him, we cannot,
For leaving this much ice cold days:
And this much when it's hot:

The Dost Avalanche.
The dust avalanche descends wher
snow is loose and has recently fallen. Il
is attended with a whirlwind, which lifts
the snow from a whole mountain side auc
drives it onward through the air. It ad
vances in a straight line, overwhelming
every obstacle, mowing forests down like
sedge, leaping (as an old peasant once ex
pressed it in my hearing) from hill to hill,
burring men, beasts, and dwellings, and
settling down at last into a fomidable,
compact mass without color and without
outline. The snow which forms these
Staub-Lawinen is dry and finely pow
dered. \\ hen it comes to rest upou the
earth it immediately hardens into some
thing very like the consistency of ice,
wrapping the objects which have been
borne onward by its blast tightly round
in a firm, implacable clasp. A man or
horse seized by a Staub-Lawine, if the
breath has not been blown out of his
body in the air, has it squeezed out by the
even, clinging pressure of consolidating
particles. A human victim of the dread
ful tiling, who was so lucky as to be
saved from its clutch, once described to
me the sensations he experienced. He
was caught at the edge of the avalanche
just when it was settling down to rest,
carried off his feet, and rendered help
less by the swathing snow, which tied
his legs, pinned his arms to his ribs, and
crawled upward to his throat. There it
stopped. His head emerged, and he could
breathe; but as the mass set he felt the
impossibility of expanding his lungs, and
knew that he must die of suffocation. At
the point of losing consciousness he be
came aware of comrades running to his
rescue. They hacked the snow away
around his thorax, and then rushed on to
dig for another man who had been buried
in the same disaster, leaving him able to
breathe, but wholly powerless to stir
hand or foot. This narrative reminded
me of an anecdote, told by Haydon, the
painter, who nearly sacrificed a negro’s
life by attempting to take an entire cast
of the man’s body at one moment from
the feet to the chin. When the plaster
of paris began to set the negro could not
breathe, and he was only saved from as
phyxiation by Haydon's tearing down the
mold of brick in which he had been
placed. Comhill Magazine.
Horses in Street Car Traffic.
It is estimated that the number oi
horses and mules employed for street cat
service in this country and Canada is, in
round numbers, 115,0U0: 1 being the
smallest number owned by any one com
pany; 7683 the largest, and 165 the
average. The general average of feed
per animal is 26 j pounds and the average
for Kentucky is forty-five pounds. The
daily consumption of food is approxi
mately 1600 tons, or 584,000 tous per
annum; and the cost of feed per animal
varies from 17 to 50 cents per day, ac
cording to locality and season of the year.

A Doctor's Queer Hobby.
Dr. Bibby is a Bath physician with a
queer hobby. He is anxious to have the
ocean crossed in a rowboat. He sunk a
round sum of money in fitting out a man
for the voyage a few years ago, and the
man was lost—at least he never has been
heard from since he left the coast. The
Doctor's ardor is not dampened in the
least, however. He says that to a stout
man who hasn’t chick or child dependent
upon him and is willing to try the experi
ment, he will furnish a lifeboat that posi
tively cannot tip over and all the supplies
for the voyage. — LexcUton (Me. ) Journal.
California's Agricultural Wealth.
The value of the California fruit crop
this year is estimated at $24,000,000, of
which fresh and dried fruits amount to
$6,500,000 each, and raisins and citrus
fruits 83,500,000 each. The wheat crop
is estimated at 70,000,000 bushels, worth
852,000,000; barley, 85,500,000 ; vege
tables, 83,750,000 ; wool, $6,000,000 ;
dairy products, 87,500,000 ; wine, 84,-

TOPICS OK INTEREST RELATIVE
TO FARM AND GARDEN.
THE WASH OF HTLLMBES.
No farmer can afford to permit *^ c
rain that falls on his ncwlj'-plo*™
to run off in muddy torrents to the near
est river and bear with it the richest part
of the toil. Asa general rule, our cults'
rated fields are more rapidly ex
hausted by surface drainage than by their
annual contribution to growing e rA !'
And again, when the frozen ground has
thawed a few inches on top and a he'7
rain occurs, the soil is carried away in
large quantities, though the inclination
lie but slight. I have often known it to
be swept off by the ton just as deep as it
had thawed. And no amount of under
draining would prevent such a result. A
copious rain under the circumstances is
always dreaded by our farmers. Hillsides
should mostly be used for (mature or
meadow, and only plowed occasionally
w hen a good bluegras* sod can be turned
under. It may then be cultivated in corn
one season, followed by wheat or oats,
and again seeded to grass. —lndiana
Farmer.
NASTrr.ixa stock.
Throughout the AVest there is more or
less a pest of flies in summer. In the
prairie region there are the green heads,
and near timber the deer flies, both veri
table bloodsucker*. The warble fly—
the large black warble flies that deposit
their eggs On the backs of cattle and
hores—are also not only annoying at the
time of ova-positing, but painful and de
bilitating as the larva grows. The bot
flies, that deposit their eetrs on the limbs
and on the breasts of horses, occasion
much annoyance to the stock.
The general means of avoidance of all
these disabilities is a dark place to whieh
the animals may retire when not feeding,
and especially that animals during fly
time be allowed to pasture night and
morning, and, in fact, all night when
possible. Where the flies are very bad,
we advise that all stock be driven todark
stables from 10 a. m. until 4 p. >i., even
at the expense of giving them cut forage
during these hours.
Another thing the careful feeder will
do well to observe is to pay strict attention
that stock have access to water at all
times, or, at least, at stated intervals, sc
that they may never get thirsty. Animals
are very much like men in the matter of
drinking. Some days they seerae to re
quire very little; other days they take
what may seem an inordinate quantity.
Nevertheless, when required, the water
should be accessible, and this in line with
the trite saying: “A merciful man is
merciful to his beast.” —Prairie Farmer.
SMALLER CROPS AND BETTER PRICES.
It is small, not large, crops that we
need more of. My minimum crops have
invariably been more profitable, and I
have heard many farmers make the same
remark. Would it not be well for our
fanners to combine to produce less for a
few years of all staple crops, thereby
thoroughly cleaning up the surplus and
getting better returns for our labor than
we have received for the last decade?
Certainly we have the same right to com
bine to limit production as have coal or
oil companies, millers and manufacturers.
Some may say that it is our duty to our
selves and our country to do our best ic
our chosen calling—but best, for whom :
If we can do better by producing less and
getting more for it, why not do it, as
long as other producers are doing the
same thing and we have to exchange our
products for theirs?
Why should farmers be the only class
of producers that cannot establish a price
for their commodities? When we buy
we have to pay the price asked; when we
sell we have to take the pittance the pur
chaser sees fit to offer. Surely, no class
of laborers works as many hours for as
little pay as the farmer, and it is time our
calling was more remunerative. Can this
be done by producing more or less? 1
am of the opinicp that General Butler
was right when he said that
“our trouble is not overproduction,
but underconsumption,” and the ques
tion is, how shall we increase the con
sumption of farm products? Certainly
not by increasing the quantity, but by
improving the quality. Every one knows
that soggy potatoes, stale eggs, rancid
butter, etc., last much longer than good
fresh No. 1 articles. If all our food
products were the very best, much more
would be consumed, thus making a
greater demand and more remunerative
prices. Many of our wide awake farmers
can make a part of their productions an
actual necessity to one or more families in
our large cities at paying prices by sup
plying these products regularly, fresh,
sweet and wholesome. I know this by
experience, for my customers often tell
me that they prefer to purchase farm
products of the producer, especially eggs
and butter.
It is laudable for practical farmers to
experiment, investigate and produce
maximum crops, but it is more profitable
to produce the best and get good pay for
'•he:p. —American Agriculturist.
FARM AND GARDEN NOTES.
Don’t feed sloppy food to the little
chicks.
Land poor and poor land are evils to
be avoided.
Feed often and a very little at a time
to small chicks.
Hard workers are usually honest. In
dustry lifts them above temptation.
Heavy rains have assured splendid
crops in western and southern Oregon.
To make a good grafting wax mix one
part of tallow with two parts of beeswax
and four parts of rosin.
Get as nearly as possible the desired
number of hens set this month, for July
Ist is pretty late for profitable chicks as
winter layers.
The silo, practically, is a substitute for
pasturage, so far as the succulence of the
food and quick digestibility is concerned,
without its expense.
I sually the dairymen who succeed besi
are those who have obtained a good rep
utation for their butter, and can com
mand a satisfactory price, year after year.
White Wyandottes have taken a strong
hold upon many farmers and breeders,
displacing the Leghorn, Brahma and Ply
mouth Rock. They are without a doubt
an excellent fowl.
Persons owning bees and not located
near streams of water, should furnish
them fresh water daily, as it will save
time, which, to the bee, means honey, as
it means money to us.
W T hen anew nest is found do not put
its contents with the fresh-laid eggs; that
is, unless you know the eggs were laid
the day they were gathered." fn this way
no risk is run of having poor eggs sold.
There are four essentials in the making
of money at the dairy business. First,
good cows. Second, to have them well
fed. Third, to have their milk well
manufactured; and fourth, to have the
product well sold.
Cleanliness is the best preventive of
poultry diseases. Rooms should be fre
quently cleaned in the summer and
sprinkled occasionally with a disinfectant.
Put a quarter of a pound of sulphuric
acid in a three gallon pail of water and
sprinkle the roosts, walls and floor.

Human Beings Sold,
The Japan Mail speaks of the traffic in
women end children among the desti
tute as f How*: The sale ol women and
children has become a regular occurrence
in the famine stricken district* uf China.
“It is as much a matter ot notoriety,
writes a miraionarv, “a* the selling of
mules and donkeys.” The women and
children are not brought to maraet,
however; the traffic take* place private
ly, A woman between 20 arid 30 years
of age is sold for fre m|s t 310; a cbi.d
under 10 for $1 to $1 50. What is the
meaning uf this traffic? I* it entirely
owing to the demtiud for female chattels
in the great cities, or has it a more di
rect connection with the famine? Borne
people incline to tbe latter view. They
declare that the famished ] eople, in their
pressing need, have resortet to canni
balism. and that though parents will not
kill and eat their own children, ihey are
less scrupulous about telling them to
other persons to kill and eat. It is im
possible to credit thi*. If we were 10l l
that a family, reduced t > utter destitu
tion and brought face to fate w:th death
bv starvation, had eaten one of its mem
b"rs, the thing might be credible. But
that money, with whieh other foctl
might be bought, should be spent on
the purchase of human flesh, is wholly
bevond the limits of belief. The strong
probability is that the famine regions are
merely supplying cheap victims for the
brothels of the cities.
