STRONGEST MAN IN THE WORLD.
Some Marvelous Feats of Strength as Ex
hibited by a Man in Ueno, Nevada.
The strongest man in the world at
the present time, so far as is known,
now lives in Reno, Washoe county,
Nev. A San Francisco Chronicle re
porter witnessed the astonishing feats of
this remarkable man, and was fully
satisfied by what he saw that he is
really all that has been claimed for him.
His name is Angelo Cardela, an Italian,
aged thirty-eight years; stature, five
feet ten inches; weight, 190 pounds;
occupation, laborer; habits, temperate.
In personal appearance he is not re
markable ; merely a good-natured look
ing son of Italia, with a broad, heavy
face; a noble development of chest and
shoulders, and large, fleshy hands. His
strength was born with him, for he has
had no athletic training. When
“ stripped to the buff,” however, a
marked peculiarity in his spinal column
is at once apparent* His bacubone is
we might say, double-jointed, with the
vertebral articulations unusually large
and prominent. Though he is not a
man of unusual size, his spinal column
is double the ordinary width, and his
other bones and joints seem made on a
similar large and generous scale. After
some solicitation, he finally consented
to favor the reporter with an exhibition
of strength, which proved to be such an
astonishing exhibition of lifting power
as scarcely to be believed. The re
porter, whose weight is 150 pounds,
stood with one foot on the floor and
arms outstretching, his hands being
lightly grasped by two friends, one on
each side, to preserve the balance of his
body. This slight assistance, however,
had no tendency to raise his body, being
merely to keep him from toppling over.
Cardela then stooped down and placed
the third finger of his right hand under
the hollow of the reporter’s foot upon
which he was balancing, and, with no
perceptible effort, raised the reporter to
a height of four feet and deposited him
standing, on a table near at hand. This
feat he repeated, and then grasped the
reporter’s ankles with both hands,
raised him above his head, and gently
lowered him to the table in a sitting
posture. Cardela had a pipe in his
mouth while lifting, and continued
smoking, as much as to say, “Per Bac
cho, ’tis nothing; a way we have in our
country!” On a former occasion he
raised Mr. Lawson, a gentleman con
nected with the editorial staff of the
Reno Gazette, in a similar way, with one
finger, carried him across the room and
left him standing on a table. He has
also lifted by the same plan, using only
his third finger (which seems to be his
most reliable one) several Reno heavy
weights, one weighing over 200 pounds'.
He can strike a blow with his fist with
a power of 500 pounds, measured on a
register. It is said that two Irishmen,
neat \ erdi, started in to whip him one
nkht, but concluded to give up the con
tract, as he grasped one in each hand
and beat them together until the life
was nearly hammered out of them.
Many other tales are told of his extra
ordinary strength, and there can be no
doubt that, in his particular specialty,
lie is unrivaled, and, indeed, a lusus
natural, when the peculiarities of his
physical ‘ make-up” and his almost
limitless power are considered. He
states that his father could strike a blow
equal in power to 1,000 pounds, so that
the strength seems a direct inheritance.
Cardela has not much education, and
an imperfect knowledge of English. He
dislikes to show his strength and fails
to tealize his own value. If he were
to give public exhibitions of his won
derful power lie would doubtless be
recognized and acknowledged to be the
most powerful man in the world in cer
tain lines of strength.
How a Journalist Paid a Wager.
Among the notables who gather here
every winter, writes a Washington cor
respondent, is tlu journalist Major Ben
Perley Poore. He is a correspondent of
several New England papers, and a
regular contributor to the Atlantic
Monthly. His life has been an eventful
one, and his warm friendship for Charles
Sumner and other prominent men has
closely connected him with public
events. Major Poore is a great diner
out, and a frequent guest of General
Burnside. His round form and florid
complexion tell that he is a high liver.
He is short in stature and weighs 270
pounds. During Pierce’s canvass for
the presidency, Major Poore, then a
young man, wagered with a friend liv
ing in Boston that Pierce would net be
elected. He agreed if he lost the bet to
wheel a barrel of apples lrom his home,
Indian hill, thirty miles distant, through
the streets of Boston to his friend’s
door. The election came off, and the
friend held the major to his wager.
Mrs. Poore thought it]too severe a task,
and begged her husband to have the
barrel sent in a wagon. The major was
too conscientious to do that, and insisted
on fulfilling his wager. He went to a
neighboring farm and bought the fullest
barrel of apples to be had. Witnesses
saw that the barrel was well and closely
packed. He put on a pair of snufl
colored pants tucked into his heavy
farm boots, a velvet vest, a jacket and
a large red felt hat someone had sent
him from California. Thus arrayed, he
started at daybreak for Boston, wheel
ing his heavy load on a wheelbarrow.
His wife sent a man with a wagon after
him, so that in case he gave out there
would be someone at hand to help him.
After the sun was up the country peo
ple began to pass him as he trudged
along, perspiring and dusty. Each one
offered him a lift or tried to persuade
him to give up 4 the job. He kept on
fifteen miles, tiredand sore, then he
concluded to put his apples in a farmer’s
barn and go back home for the night,
and start afresh the next morning. He
rode home and was glad to rest. He
was sore and bruised, but after a good
rubbing and a night’s rest he was able
to proceed with his task. By this time
the people along the road heard of his
coming and they gathered together to
meet him. Boys followed him and
women stood at their doors to seen him
go by. There was great excitement,
and the news soon traveled to Boston.
It reached the ears of the authorities*
They sent him word not to enter the
city in the evening, but to stop outside
sad come in the morning, A few miles
from Boston he stopped over night.
The next morning on the outskirts of
the city he was met by a large crowd of
people and a brass band. He was es
corted by this procession through the
principal streets of the city to his friend’s
home and from there to the Tremont
house to a S6OO breakfast. He had ac
complished his feat and was amply re
paid by the reception and breakfast
given him by the city authorities. It
was many days before he could appear
without being stopped and asked “ if he
was the who rolled a barrel of ap
ples through the streets of Boston.”
Capturing Turkoman Women.
The capture of the Turkoman women
by the Persian governors is one of the
great crimes of Persian rule in the dis
tricts east of the Caspian sea. “An
order,” says Major Butler of the British
army, “is sent to one or more of the
governors of those districts to the effect
that no presents have been forwarded
to the shah by them of late, and if they
do not immediately dispatch substantial
gifts another governor will be found to
replace them. The distracted governor,
who has already robbed the people until
they have nothing left to take, wistfully
turns his eyes and thoughts to his rich
neighbors—the Turkomans. Forth
with he organizes an expedition, and
sends forth s pies to ascertain at what
point are encamped the greatest num
ber of Turkoman women and horses
and the smallest number of men. This
being ascertained, he starts at the dead
of night, accompanied by his murder
ing robbers, and swoops down upon
his unfortunate victims. Those Turko
mans who are able to fight, or likely to
give any further trouble, are ruthlessly
murdered, and the old men, the boys,
wives, daughters and sisters are bound
hand and foot and brought back into
Persian territory. Then commences a
scene disgraceful alike to humanity
and morality. The old women and in
fants are separated from the young and
beautiful (and many of the Turkoman
women are very beautiful); every point
of the latter is looked into and discussed
by the men told off for this purpose,
just as the intended purchaser of a
horse trots out the animal to examine
him. Those possessing the best points
are sent off to the shah and other great
men at Teheran. Those with some
fault or other are kept by the governor
himself, and distributed among his
favorites, high and low, his servants
being always generously treated in the
distribution of the human spoil. The
horses and other stolen property are
likewise disposed of. But what be
comes of the old women and little ones?
These are locked up until some Turko
man relation can buy their release for
SIOO to $125 each, and if this happy
arrangement cannot be effected they
probably die of starvation. I could
mention many startling instances of the
above which have lately taken place.
There is a regular season for these ex
peditions, commencing about April and
ending about October. — Persian Letter.
Chinamen Taking an Oath.
See Hao Kao, a Chinaman, in his
native costume, was the defendant in
the Kings county court of sessions, in
Brooklyn, to a charge of grand larceny
in stealing $l5O from Lee Fou. There
was a throng of Chinamen in the room,
who watched the case patiently. A
Chinese interpreter from New York city
was employed. Several of the witnesses
went through an elaborate ceremony
upon taking the oath. They were pro
vided with joss sticks, wrapped in tis
sue paper. The stick is a small cylinder,
about the size of a tobacco pipe, made
of gum, mixed with the dust of odorif
erous .woods, and is burned by the
Chinese before their idols. The end of
the stick was lighted. The witness
then held the burning match until it
was extinguished, and with the charred
remnant he made some hieroglyphics
upon the railing of the judge’s bench,
and recited a gibberish. Then he ex
tinguished the burning joss stick and
was ready to tell the t ruth. The com
plainant, who has a laundry in Brooklyn,
said that See Hao Kao, who belongs to
the Mott street colony in New York city
stole the money while on a visit. See
Fay and Sing Lee testified in behalf of
the complainant, and Wah Lee, Yung
Wing, Sing Lung, Lee Hi and Ah Chung
in the prisoner’s behalf One witness
who said that he would swear on the
Bible “ allee samee Melican man,” was
asked whether he considered that oath
binding. He answered, through the in
terpreter :
“When I’m in China I have Chinese
religion; when I’m in United States I
have United States religion.”
The jury acquitted See Hao Kao, and
he went out of the courtroom with a
platoon of Chinamen shuffling after
him.
A Petrified Tree.
Thomas Lovelock, the pioneer of
Lovelock station, Nevada, was describ
ing some of the natural curiosities of
his section while in town. He says
that fifteen miles north of his place
there is a petrified tree 600 feet in length
and two feet thick. Its roots and most
of its brandies are still perfect. The
tree is lying on the surface of the ground,
and is petrified through and through
from bark to core. Clarence King was
taken to see the tree by Mr. Lovelock.
The geologist pronounced it one of the
greatest natural curiosities he had ever
seen. Mr. Lovelock says he recently
stumbled upon a petrified rattlesnake in
the vicinity of his ranch. The serpent’s
head was gone, but his body and rattles
were whole. The rattles give out a
metallic sound, when shaken, like the
ringing of a bell. The body of the snake
is as hard as rock. —Reno ( Nev.) Gazette.
Victor Hugo, the greatest of living
French authors, is reported to be in
veterately fond of coffee, taking it not
only after each meal but at intervals
during the day. He works only during
the morning, never after the midday
meal. He writes on large-sized Holland
paper, made expressly for him, and
works standing before a high desk.
W hen he gets tired he paces up and
down his study, swallowing now and
then a little coffee or sugared water, but
never by any chance sitting do ,v n. His
evenings are nearly always devoted to
guests, whom he takes great pains to
entertain.
FOB THE FAIR SEX.
The Working Girls of New York.
Mrs. Dr. Jennings has been talking
with a reporter of the New York Tele
gram in the health of work
ing girls in the metropolis, and the em
ployment which is best suited to their
mental, moral and physical condition.
The lady has made the subject a study,
and this is what she says :
The average health of the working
girl is, I think, better than the average
health of the idle young lady. Phy
sicians encounter their most puzzling
cases among the latter class. Work in
itself is healthful. I often have oc
casion to recommend it to my rich
young lady patients—something to do,
some definite purpose to be worked
out. On the other band, I formerly
found many cases of gout among my
poorest charity patients, proving that
that malady is not the exclusive luxury
of epicures and well-nourished people.
Reporter—Wiiat are the most health
ful avocations for women?
Dr. Jennings—Household service I
consider the most healthful of all the
employments of women —infinitely pre
ferable, on the score of health, to sew
ing, teaching or doing nothing. The
vocation of the nurse girl is very health
ful, in spite of its lifting. It gives a
variety of out-door exercises and plen
of sunshine, and then the companion
shipof bright, young, beautiful children
is a health-giving influence. Thei-e is
need of intelligent, educated and superior
women in this department of labor, and
it would be well all around if many of
our over-tasked and over-crowded
women in the factories and the trades
would seek it. The reluctance of girls
to go into housework seems strange to
me. It arises from a false idea of the
degradation of work. Any labor that
is well done dignifies itself. Bright,
intelligent, capable girls are needed in
domestic services. Intelligence and
capacity to learn are needed more than
experience, and are well paid. Good
cooks command lrom sl2 to $22 a month
besides a comfortable home. This sort
of work gives a girl good food (if her
cooking is bad it’s her own fault),
variety of movement, xercise of all
parts of the body and generally a rea
sonable time for rest. It’s a very dif
ferent thing to walk about a kitchen or
a house from standing with one’s dead
weight "on the feet all day, as the poor
girls behind the counters have to do. As
a physician I have had to advise a good
many girls to give up sewing or stand
ing in stores for household service of
some kind. One work is not more
menial than the other when it is done
in the proper spirit. Our American
working girls have something to learn
in this direction. The laws of demand
and supply regulate everything. It is
useless to clamor for higher wages for
women so long as so many are crowded
into very few vocations. The only way
to settle this whole question is for women
to qualify themselves for skilled labor
in many directions-
Fashion Fancies.
Large, round, embroidered collars
will be worn by children and misses.
The full sleeve, gathered infto a cuff
at the wrist, is revived for house
dresses.
New ribbons are of satin on both
sides and irregularly dotted in rich col
ors on a contrasting ground.
Corduroy underskirts will continue
to be worn under draperies of silk foul
ard, Yeddo crape and light woolen dress
goods.
The polonaise is accepted as the lead
ing model for expensive costumes. The
present pattern differs considerably
from the original design.
Hairdressers have discovered how to
dye or turn the hair ashy blonde or
drab. Ashy blonde hair is now more
fashionable than golden hair.
Draperies of silk and satin over cor
duroy underskirts are considei-ed very
dressy. This style is certainly pictur
esque, and particularly to young ladies.
Tortoise shell headed pins in all sorts
of shapes, black jet, silver, filagree, and
amber ornaments, beads, and chains are
all very fashionable with new coiffures.
White toilets will be fashionable this
summer. A great deal of white French
bunting is found among goods of that
kind. Pheasant brown is one of the
most fashionable spring colors.
Basques will be worn, but not so gen
erally as hitherto. The coat design
of basque will still continue in favor.
This mode is rather masculine, still
pretty and becoming to most figures.
Seaside gi-enadines have openwork
bars that look like hemstitching this
year, and also come in lace patterns.
Silk grenadines are very lustrous and
have either brocades or lace patterns.
Full fraises of lace, worn high in the
neck, are more fashionable than linen
collars. But linen collars will never go
entirely out of fashion. Linen cuffs are
frequently worn when the collar is dis
carded.
The new modes are replete with col
ors. The Oriental idea of color massing
is liberally patronized by the majority
of manufacturers. Every department
of finery is decorated with color effects
in the plural number.
Bonnets are decreasing in size; on the
other hand, hats for the season are
large. Chip bonnets are very popular.
Imported bonnets for summer are largely
of Tuscan straw. Feather trimmings
for bonnets are in the lorm of butter
flies, rosettes and thistles. Many sum
mer bonnets will be draped with burbes
and fichus of black or white Spanish
lace. Strings to bonnets during the
summer will not be so much worn as
heretofore by young ladies. Full mourn
ing bonnets are made of crape, arranged
in flat folds upon close-fitting turban
frames. Gypsy hats will be worn far
back on the head, the front projecting in
poke shape and the sides turned down.
Little Gertie went with her mother to
see some wax-works. After looking
about curiously, as if she was trying to
find out something and could not, she
said: “Why do they call them wax
works, mamma? They’re wax, but
they don’t work.”
TIMELY TOPICS.
William Smoak is a veritable patri
arch. He lives in Charleston county,
S. C., and has just entered his ninety
seVenth year. The old man and his
wife, who c|ied a year ago, raised thir
teen children, ten now living. They
had first six sons, then two daughters,
then three sons, and the last two daugh
ters. The eldest is seventy-five years
of age, the youngest fifty. The Charles
ton New a publishes a tabular statement
of descendants of the thirteen children,
which shows that the old man has ten
living children, 104 grandchildren, 391
great-grandchildren, making in all 575
living descendants and 116 dead. The
most remarkable feature o this family
is the fact that both the old people lived
to see their youngest and thirteenth
child a grandmother.
A few months ago several peasants
were tried at Novgorod, Russia, for
burning alive a woman, upon the pre
text that she had bewitched their cattle
and cast spells upon their children.
These ruffians were acquitted on the
ground that they had acted conscien
tiously and in accordance with the
Scriptural ordinance: “Thou shalt
not suffer a witch to live!” The tri
bunal of Ustjush, in Russia, has recently,
however, taken a somewhat more en
lightened view of a witchcraft case
brought before it. One Ivan Alexeieff
and six women of his village prosecuted
a peasant’s wife named Charlamoff for
having, as they* alleged upon oath,
injured their health by the practice of
sorcery. To their surprise and discom
fiture the court acquitted Charlamoff
and denounced the prosecutors
sentencing the women to four mj.iths’
imprisonment apiece, and Alexeieff to
fifty blows with a rod.
Municipal debts in Eastern towns or
cities or in the W st are two diffeier t
things in comparing the wealth of the
two sections. In the Eastern States a
State or municipal debt is a debt due its
citizens, but in the West such a debt is
usually due some capitalist living in the
Eastern States, it is so with the West
ern railroads. Over one-half of all the
capital of the railroads running through
the West belong to men living in the
Eastern States, while they own the
major part of their own roads. Of the
$800,000,000 deposited in the savings
banks in 1879 the Eastern States owned
all but $50,000,0ti0, and the Western
States less than $15,000,000. Nearly all
of this vast accumulation has been
within the past fifteen years. Of the
national bank capital the Western States
own $80,000,000, and the Eastern States
$316,000,000. The great national debt
is distributed in about the same propor
tion. Of Western mortgages pn private
real estate, the amount held by Eastern
men is enormous.
The chain-mail vest which is said
to have saved Gen. Melikoff, St. Peters
burg’s dictator, from Yladetski’s bullet,
has for many generations past been a
common article of wear with the lead
ing personages of Europe, the most nota
ble examples being Oliver Cromwell,
Gustavus of Sweden, the present czar,
and Louis XVI. In the middle ages
these fiiail-coats WO^e.known as “ Milan
shirts,” and_great!y esteemed for the
fineness of their workmanship. A
famous Italian guerrilla, who went into
the battle of Ravenna thus equipped,
was found dead wiih the links of his
mail still unbroken, though the bones
beneath it were completely shattered by
the force of the death-blow. A “bul
let-proof ” vest of this kind was offered
by a speculator to the Duke of Welling
ton, who got rid of him in a very char
acteristic fashion. Bidding the man
put it on, he called to the sentry out
side to load with ball-cartridge and
come up at once; but the visitor’s con
fidence in his invention did not appar
ently extend to the testing of it in his
own person, for he took to his heels at
once.
A Monster of the Ocean.
Giant sqfiids, says a lecturer, have
been known to exist for several hun
dred years, but it is only with ten or
twelve yeax*s that we have obtained any
definite informatiojx regarding the North
American species. At present, several
distinct species are well known They
closely resemble in structure and ap
pearance the small squids of the New
England coast, which are used as bait
by the fishermen; but they attain grand
dimensions, and are only exceeded in
size by whales and the largest kinds of
sharks. The largest one yet measured
bad a length of fifty-five feet. The fe
i-ocity of these creatures, as of all the
devil-fish, has been greatly exaggerated.
They seldom attack man unless first pro
voked, although they are lai'ge enough
to cope with a boatload of men. They
probably feed largely upon codfish,
which are very abundant in the northern
waters which they inhabit. All squids
are rather nocturnal in their habits, and
seldom come to the surface in the day
time. This is especially true of the giant
fellows, and all that have so far been
observed were evidently more or less
disabled or diseased or they would not
have appeared. Most of the specimens
that have been taken were cast upon
the shore in a dead or dying condition,
and only in one instance has a perfectly
lively specimen been encountered; he
was captured in a herring-net on the
coast of Nova Scotia. Twenty-two
specimens of very large size are now
known from the coast of North America,
and of these the lecturer had examined
nine, mostly in a fragmentary condi
tion. One of the most pei*fect speci
mens obtained was secured on the coast
of Newfoundland in 1877,"and taken to
New York, where it has since been
exhibited at the Aquarium. This
specimen was cited by the lecturer as
an example of the great extent to which
these animals are reduced in size by
shrinkage in a preserving fluid. Since
it hai been kept in alcohol it has shrunk
to less"than one-half its former dimen
sions. These huge squids of the North
Atlantic belong mostly to a single genus,
which has been designated as architeu
thia—arch-squid or arch-devil-fish—a
very appropriate nami. The American
specimens cf this genus represent two
species, called princeps and Harveyi;
they are mostly confined to the coast of
Newfoundland, and probaby inhabit the
deep fiords off that island.
Sunflowers are to be worn at the be:t
this season, according to a fashion au
thority. This is what we have been wait
ing for; sunflowers have been worn so
high in times past that it was impossi
ble to pick them without a stepiadder.

for Scrofula, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Rheuma

Sept. 30,1879. )
Mr. H. R. Stevens—Dear Sir : My little daugh
ter Stella has been afflicted a long time with Scrof
ula, suffering everything. I employed different
physicians in East Eoston, but they helped her
none. I bought some of your Powder Form Vkok
tink, and my wife steeped it and gave it to the child
according to the directions, and we were surpris, and
in a fortnight’s time to see how the child had gained
in flesh and strength. She is now gaining every
day, and I can cheerfully recommend your remedy
to be the best, we have ever tried.
Respectfully youra, J. TANARUS, WEBB.
