~e n who Pretend to toCtiew
and Swallow Glass.
i Probable Explanation of th3 Mann ir in
which it is Dons
.. matter how absurd anything is,
At great majority of people are willing,
v cannot understand it, to accept
explanation offered and be satisfied
• I,» This has been especially true of
Urged glass-eating, which has now
|,, n r a rgn ar ‘‘profession” with a
u mber of men—a woman has never yet
triedit. The feat originated in Phila
delphia, where, it seems, a negro appear
ed to develop a peculiar fancy for lamp
chimneys and other kinds of glass as an
tide of diet. The doctors advertised
the thing quite extensively at the time
bv declaring that the man would surely
die. He did not, however, to their
amazement, and still continues to dupe
credulous people into the belief that he
consumes “fused sand.” His pose as the
■ jriginal and only” glass-eater was soon
tnoiled by the appearance of numerous
other applicants for glass-eating glory,
aß d now a dime museum is poor indeed
that cannot support one of these “human
ostriches.” They are the legitimate suc
cessors of the sword-swallowers and
eaters of fire, who were at one time the
standard “wonder” at circuses and mu.
seums. The sword-swallower is obliged
to educate his throat so as to allow a for
eign substance to remain in it for an in
definite period. That this is a difficult
task let any one who believes to the con
trary run even his finger down his throat
an d mark the result. The fire - eater
toughens his mouth with astringent
washes, and then uses for fire volatile
substances, which produce a great deal
es flame with but little heat. But "how
docs this glass-eater dispose of his flinty
lunch, which, if taken into his stomach,
would produce the same effect as a score
of lancets or a dose of cyanide of potas
fium _a most agonizing death? Pow
dered glass has long been used as a sov
ereign but cruel remedy for superfluous
cats, dogs, &c. Now, if the stomach of
a dog or cat, which so easily digests
bones and other hard substances, cannpt
dispose of a little powdered glass, how,
then, do the interior organs of the
colored “professor” at a neighboring
dime museum stand the strain of a dozen,
more or less, meals of this kind a day?
The most obvious answer to this is that
the enter of glass never eats glass, in fact,
although those who witness the edifying
spectacle and are afforded the opportu
nity of exploring the dark recesses of the
Ethiopian’s gullet, may be unable to fully
understand what he does with the pieces
in bis mouth. The explanation by the
medical man whose certificate is printed
on the bills, of the manner in which the
performer disposes of his dyspeptic load
is ludicrous in the extreme when one be
gins to think of the absurdity of it. lie
says: “From a personal examination of
the man’s stomach, I have found that the
gastric juices and alkalies contained
therein are just what will dissolve glass,
iron or stone.” Any one who has dab
bled in chemistry knows that the state
ment is a bare-faced—romance. In fact,
about the only acid that wi.l dissolve
glass—hydrofluoric—is so powerful that
should it get into this pretentious indi
vidual’s interior it would eart its way out,
in less time than it takes to record the
fact. But the man really does take
glass— not bites out of tumblers, but thin
glass such as lamp chimneys are made
of—into his mouth, and, with a pinch of
wit, probably to take off the excessive
freshness of his meal, and a glass of water
towash it down, chews it up anil appar
ently swallows it. At any rate, the glass
does not remain in the performer’s mouth
ss an examination by the writer's fingers
JWed. And it was real every-day glass.
«several pieces taken from the mouth
just as he was on the point of swallowing
then are now in the reporter’s pocket
book— that is, if the sharp fragments
have not cut their way out. So this dis
proves one theory, that the alleged glass
“a»i clever imitation, manufactured out
of gelatine, clarified and made brittle, to
represent the real article. The gelatine
would, of course, do the man no harm;
but would, in prove rather nour
fhing. Another theory’ is that tire per
f'trner had previously been a sword
■vallower, thereby having made his
throat so callous that the glass would not
c °t it on its passage to the stomach; but
this does not explain how it is digested,
hrom all this, knowing that the glass
docs not stay in his mouth, and being
tfluallv certain that it cannot go into the
R om:ich. there is but one conclusion to
be drawn-, that the glass is intercepted
before reaching its destination. But how
045 this be done? Very easily. The
•’ord-swallower educates his throat to
•■row the presence of the sword; the
fihss-eater prepares his to receive a tube
01 ‘offle description, which probably has
1 trainer in the end to allow the water
’liidi he drinks to filter through, but
r -ains the glass until such time as he
dispose of it without being observed.
aat silver tubes can be worn in the

gers of dime museums to be on the hunt
for some new dietetical curiosity. Glass
eating is already a “chestnut.”—

He Holds ilie Fence.
Several weeks ago a Detroiter pur
chased a piece of land in the west end of
tiio county. After the purchase had
been completed he engaged a surveyor’s
services to see if he had been cheated.
The discovery was made that nine-fence
was over on h s land eight inches. When
he went to the owner of the adjoining
property with the statement the man re
plied :
“Stranger, the row about that fence
began twenty-eight years ago. It was
then five feet over the line, and the two
men fit and fit unt 1 one was killed and
the other crippled After a while it was
moved a foot, and then the other owners
fit and tit until the lawyers got the two
farms. The fence was then moved an
other foot, and the two new owners spent
half the year in jawing each other and
the other half in lawing. One died and
the other got sold out on a mortgage, and
when I got this farm the fence was moved
over another foot. Then I fit and fit,
and two years ago was kicked in the ribs
and laid up for three months. During
that time the fence was moved to the
present line. So it’s still on your land?”
“Yes.”
“Well, I s’pose the proper thing is a
row. If you’ll go out by the barn with
your revolver I’ll come out and hunt for
you with the shot-gun. If you git the
drop on me don’t let go, because I shall
shoot to kill.”
It took the Detroiter some Hine to con
vince the farmer that he didn’t care for
eight inches of land,and that he wouldn’t
have the fence moved for fifty dollars,
and when he had succeeded the old man
drew a long breath of relief and replied:
“That’s kind o’ you, and it leaves my
boys a chance to fit aad fit after I’m
gone. I hope you aint cornin’ out here
to live alongside o’ me?”
“No.”
“Glad on’t. If you lease, git some
man who’ll want them other eight inch
es. The boy’s and I is lonesome for ex
citement. ” — Detroit Free Preus.
A Feline’s Fright.
Last week in connection with a study
of the carnivora, says a Denver scientist,
I obtained a cat from an acquaintance at
a dinner and carefully dissected it in a
room above our stable. When I had fin
ished the cat was, as may be supposed,
hardly recognized. I cleaned the scal
pels, placed them in the case, and took
them to the house. No sooner had I put
them down than I observed our own cat
go and sniff all around the case with a
peculiar look of intense wonder. I took
the instruments away and thought no
more about it; but a short time after I
returned to the remains of ’.he dissected
cat in order to prepare the skeleton,
when 1 saw our cat standing at a distance
of about a foot from the dissection, and
presenting an appearance of most help
less terror. She was trembling from head
to foot, and in such a condition of evi
dent horror that my’ presence had no ef
fect upon her. After some moments she
noticed me, and then darted away with
a scared look such as I had never before
seen. She did not return to the house
that day, a thing quite unusual, but on
the next day she returned and entered
the house with a fearful caution, as
though realizing the probability that she
herself might become a victim to science
and her whole conduct was changed.
Tilts suggests that the country custom of
using dead birds, weasels,etc,, as a scare
to the like is not entirely unreasonable,
and it would be interesting to know
whether others have noticed similar ef
fects.
A Defective Education.
“This edication they fill boys up with
now days don’t seem ter ’mount ter much
much fer ord’nary use,” said a Dakota
settler.
“What makes you think so ?” asked a
friend.
“Why, there’s that boy uv mine—sent
him ’way ter school fer pretty nigh two
years and he aint capab’l uv taking right
holt uv ev’ry day bus’ness yet.”
“What has he failed in ?”
‘Well, pretty important p’int now 1
tell you. When he come back I give
him a midTin’ good boss and told him
ter see what he could make ov it and I’ll
be hanged es he didn’t trade a couple uv
times and come here with an old plug uv
a boss that wus a colt ’bout thirty-five
years ago. He couldn’t tell nothin’ by
lookin’ at its teeth you see. I’ll be
busted es I don’t b’lieve you could shove
a hos.*onto that boy with false teeth
fixed up by one uv these ’ere dentist
sharks!”— Estelline (Dakota) Hell.
An African Prodigy.
The Hamburg Zoological garden hat
received a full-grown specimen of the
Canis pictus, or spotted wild dog, of
central Africa. The creature is a native
of the western Transvaal, and in ap
pearance an astonishing hybrid between
a hound and half a dozen other animals.
He has a size and general form of a deer
hound, the tail of a fox, the black snout
of a hyena, and the spots an 1 stripes of
a leopard. His voice is a sort of
coughing howl, and he paces his cage
all day long with the restlessness of a
captured wolf.
THE THIRTEEN CLUB.
Vile Mm of n (‘nrlous New York Combi
nation.
There are three rather unique clubs in
New York ; that, judging by their recent
growth, will in time become quite cele
brated. One is the Thirteen club which
meets at dinner at 7 :13 o'clock on the 13th
of each month, to disprove the popular
supeistition that one of every thirteen
who sit down to a table will die before
the year is out. The club started several
years ago with thirteen at a table, but so
popular have their dinners become by
reason of the feast of wit and wisdom,
not to say the viands provided, that at
their dinner next week nt the Brigh
ton Beach hotel, Coney Island, thirteen
tables, each seating thirteen, will be pro
vided. There an' thirteen courses on the
menu, thirteen at table, thirteen speeches
made, and the number is introduced in
every possible way and shape. Not be
ing able to make the menu card in the
shape of the numeral, the suggestive
form of a coffin is adopted. The necrol
ogy of the club effectually explodes the
theory of the fatality of the number and
the club is gaining recruits every dinner,
and will have a headquarters and take its
place among social clubs next season.
The other club is the Twilight club,
which meets at dinner every fortnight,
and after the cloth has been removed dis
cusses the leading questions of the day.
pro and con., according to the predilec
tions of the speakers, who are generally
selected because they are known to be
antagonistic. The antagonism of the
speakers prevents the dub from ever be
ing a mutual admiration society, and con
sequently its dinners have become very
attractive to a large class who enjoy this
species of intellectual sparing. The
other dub is least known of the three;
indeed, though with a larger member
ship than either, little is known of it out
side of its members. It is known as the
Peanut dub, and the badge of member
ship— a peanut —must be worn on every
occasion as an ornament or amulet, in
metal, jewelry or carved wood. Any
int-inlrer accosting another who cannot,
display the badge can call on him for a
dinner for as many of the club as he likes.
It may be the call may be made in the
middle of the night and the challenged
party aroused from his slumbers; or it
may lie that the demand may be made in
the breakers of Coney Island or Long
Branch—-no matter when or where, if the
counterfeit peanut is not produced the
penalty is established. The result is that
many of the members carry their emblem
of membership attached to a string
around the neck, and wear it night and
day. The gentleman who was aroused
from his slumbers wore his this way.
The Hon. Jacob Hess, of the subway
commission, was accosted the other day
by a fellow member in the surf at Long
Branch, but he was prepared, having the
golden peanut that generally dangles
from his watch chain in his mouth. If
the challenging party cannot produce the
emblem if required by one who has, he is
called on to pay the penalty, and in this
case it took the form of a very elaborate
dinnerat the West. End hotel. Mallahan,
the trainer and backer of Herald, the
new’ aspirant for fistic honors, tucked
his ivory peanut into his ear one night
while acting as master of ceremonies at a
fistic gathering, and so was not caught
when Peters, the wine merchant, chal
lenged him. The emblem of the club is
becoming common in all circles. The
imitation is generally in gold and worn
as a watch charm.
There is quite an excitement among the
dudes in the Knickerbocker because
some tradesman has obtained a list of the
members and forwarded them to the club
address in his business circular. It is
against the rule in the club that its letter
boxes should be used for advertising
purposes, and generally all advertising
circulars arc destroyed by the wholesale ;
but in this case the wily tradesman used
square tinted envelopes, such as ladies
generally use, and the superscription
was in slender, tall, fashionable, feminine
chirography, and the disappointment of
the receivers may have heightened their
sense of club etiquette.— Constitution.

The Coquette.
Why is the coquett condemned?
Sle is an amiable being; her mission is
to pease.
Tlere is nothing small about her.
She toes no business at retail. She dis ,
tribites pleasure at wholeside, while her
misclief is disposed of in job lots.
She is the enlivening element amid the I
heavy formalities of society. She stirs i
up the froth where otherwise ’twould be ,
a sold omelet that is served up to you. ;
Ti> the coquette that provides all the I
amusfment, suggests the riding party, j
plans the picnic, gives dash to the pri
vate theatricals.
Shi is the soul of the house, the salt of
the banquet, the subtle power of her
personal presence is felt rather than de
fined everywhere.
Sh« is a blessing to the community at I
large when she employs her time remov- I
ing tke glaring self-complacency of the I
average young man
Thi man who has become posessed of j
the opinion that a woman dare not jilt i
him lOcomes, sometimes, a useful citizen ;
through the coquctt's ministrations.
Hoiv could society dispose of that
pampered son of fortune, possessing a I
dashiig tally ho. unlimited ice-cream as
sets md superabundant sentiment in his
comjxis’tion, if the coquett did not take
him vnder her wing for a season?
Ah, lor the pleasures of life the co
quette is only too rare.
It is not every one that possesses the
ability for such a career. It requires
great energy, infinite tact, nnd a gay and
airy spirit.
Some one attempted to be facetious
when he said a coquette was a rose from
which every admirer plucked a leaf, leav
ing only the thorns for her husband, but
history teaches the reverse.
The coquette oftener makes a model
wifi; her experience gives her n great
knowledge of men. She knows their
weal,ness thoroughly and enables her to
adapt herself to all her husband’s foibles
mid hoodwink him into accepting her own
without him discovering he is doing so.
But then if you do not like the co
quett, you will have no dificulty in find
ing a female companion of the same mind
ns yourself.
