" glass-eating. ~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 at we all know from the numerous instance* in which they have been used r - •urojcal operations. Meanwhile glas • atl “g is becoming one es the crowded Wession*, and it behoove? the mana. gers of dime museums to be on the hunt for some new dietetical curiosity. Glass eating is already a “chestnut.”— Transcript. 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. Sweets For the Sweet. AVhen a young lady says she has two strings to her bow, she means that she has two beaux to her string. Alaska women cure babies of crying by taking them to the sea shore and holding them in the water until they are silent. The young lady who can peel a potato in five seconds is as useful as the young woman who speaks five languages is or namental. The principal beauty of the. Morman religion is that the same woman doesn’t have to get up the entire winter to build the kitchen fire. A woman that takes rill the fashion magazines generally goes to a dressmaker to learn what is new in the fashions, and never makes her own dresses. Many women think they are domestic if they stay at home to entertain company, while their husbands think they are as little domestic at home as abroad. An old widower says: AVhen you ]>op the question to alady, do it with a kind of laugh, as if you were joking.

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. Paroxysms of Sense. The saloon-keeper should take out a pilots license. He guides so many schooners over the bar. AVanted —vaccination against water melons, green apples, and string beans. AVho will save our boys?

Birr few of us are ashamed to commit sin, but ashamed to repent of trans gresslons, though the gates of heaven’s mercy are always open. An Indian girl by the name of A’adwi ga Ptzbylinska has just been married. She feels better now that she has suc . ccedefl in getting rid of the name. “Papa,” said a very young woman, “when a young gentleman throws a kiss to a young lady, what should she do?” “Mus it,” replied the old man. Philosophy teaches us to accept our conditions in life as equal to our under standing, and not to continually growl about the price of admission. An old lady, reading a biography of Charles p’Conor, the alleged father of the New Yolk bar, exclaimed: “Poor man! he had a dreadful set of children. “If the decollete fashion docs not draw a line somewhere,” says Brother Talmage, “the primative fig-leaf will be an indispensable toilet article.” A Cai.ifohnian got sick after smoking ninety cigar) in two hours. It is conjec tured that some young fellow must have entered the room with a cigarette. There is only one time in a woman's life when she has nothing lit all to say, and that is when she hears that the wo man across the street lias a new silk dress. No one who has faith and is willing to work for satisfactory results can sum life up as a failure. Faith and effort have made more than one man street com missioner or constable. “Is it true you are .going to marry again?” “It is very true.” “And whom do you marry?” “Aly dead wife’s sister.” “Is she very handsome?” “No." “Rich?” “Not at all.” “Then why have you cho sen her?” “To tell you the truth, dear friend, in order to not change mother-in law.” “If ye plazc, mum, the cook has boomed her hand an’ axes to be excused fur a few days, fur it’s most crazy she is wid the pain.” “Indeed, Bridget, I’ll do nothing of the sort. I expect, to din ner tomorrow several prominent mem bers of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, and the cook must do her work or find another place, pain or no pain.” A philosopheh assorts that the reason why ladies’ teeth decay sooner than the gentlemen’s is because of the friction of the tongue and sweetness of their lips.
