Refer .ing to the printing of criminal news in the secular papers he referred to the reports of Mrs. Bot kin's crime and punishment. "The very paper thttt told of her sentence," he said, 'tolJ also of two different attempts at murder by means of tbe box of poisoned candy. Bat this very news tends to make many people cautions. I believe tfcat where a paper does not dwell lovingly on the most shocking details, it serves the interests of public morals by publishing the facts of the case.

It cost $21,000. Tbe motive power is compressed air, aud the ponderous hands on the four dials are operated by means of air under great pressure forced through tabes, and all four pain of hand are controlled by oae little master clock that e m'.d easily be set on a library mantelpiece. Th:s little clock, as it tiks the minutes, ceived by telegraph from Washington observatory, in turn releases the compressed air, and over each dial 400 pounds of hands are pushed foreward. Tbe hands are moved every half minute and the jump of the minute hand from half minute to half minute is six and one-half inches. The pressure exerted is 700 pounds sufficient, it is said, to drive the hands under any weath. r condition.

A CAT STORY That Sounds Fishy, But That is Literally True in Every Particular. Yesterday a veracious gentleman who lives on the south side was relating an incident of the cold weather. His est was found ia the oven of the cook ptove yesterday morning when the door was opened, and the animal was still cool when it was released, sufficiently so to remind one of he CLilcat pass. The gas bad been turned on to its fullest extent all night, without bringing discomfort to tbe cat. This story was written np by a reporter yesterday, too late to get iuro print, and today the gettleman gave a j the sad sequel to ttwtale. The same cat entered the same oven, unbeknowns to the family, while tbe fan ily, unbeknown to tbe cat, had bought a load of wood. Tbe door was opened after th cat had been in there some time, and the cat, riear'y t urned to death, hurried out and t x.iire i in a few minuted, with tba aid of her s,reh-eneiny, the family dog, who cruelly enjoyed the roast on the cnt. It was clearly a case of misplaced ennfl leuee on the part of the cat.wbicb had been under the impression that the gns was to be the only means of heating and cooking for the remainder of tbe winter.

In many sixteenth century portraits one sees wound around the wrist of a noble dame a piece of rich, soft fur. which was used to cover the neck or to fulfill the functions of a muff. To this Is often attached some little fantasy, an animal's head, a skull, perhaps. cleverly wrought and adorned with precious stones. Like many another article the muff was at first the pro pert v of thjLjnaNA' n J-rTlT-rrby courtesans aa weil as by women of the highest rank. The Venetian muffs were very small, made of a single I niece of velvet htvu-nrlo r alllr. lined with fur, the openings fastening with exquisite buttons of gold and silver enriched with precious stones. By 16U2 the muff seems to have been recognized as a necessary adjunct of the wardrobe of a lady of fashion. In Evelyn's "Mundus Muliebris," written at this time, numbers of gowns, "boddlces," shoe buckles; of perfumed gloves. "Jonquil, tube rose, frangipan, orange, violet, narcissus, jessamin, ambrett. and some of chicken skin for night to keep her hands plump, soft and white." are enumerated, and also "three muffs of ermine, sable, gray." It will be noticed that my lady has no black muff. Many years before Charles IX. -Fidgety Killjoy" as he was called, regulated the costumes of the classes the bourgeoise to use back muffs, and only the woman of rank to carry those of various colore At the time of the national convention in Paris the muffs were large and flat, fantastic as were all the fashions of that time. In colonial days in America they were also very large, but round. In an old "Dictlonaire Amoureux" the muff la defined as "a letter box lined with white satia." Atl Hand a Around. One Thomaaton.

HOW TO REFEREE A FIGHT.

Tim Bant Bays the Coaraga Official aul Have f Ills CanvieStaata. To referee a boxing match successfully a referee should at all times have tbe courage of his convictions. He should never at any stage of the contest allow himself. In rendering a decision, to be influenced by the applauae or remarks of the spectators. His sole guide In picking a winner should be the work of the principals. Firmness is an essential qualification to success in refereeing a fight. The referee should be absolutely free from pre Judice; have a thorough knowledge of the technique of the sport and decide every point in question strictly on its merits. I do not believe in "popular" decisionsperhaps the world spontaneous would be better convey the idea I mean giving a fight to a man who has made a grandstand finish in the last few rounds and whose work has caused the spectators to become enthusiastic. Many persons forget especial ly In a twenty-round contest - that TIM HCKST. points count, and the man having the better of the fighting in a majority of the rounds is entitled to the winner s share of the purse. "While In the ring I am absolutely indifferent to the remarks or demonstration on the part of the spectators. No matter how many men may be in the building, I have eyes for only two and they are the principals. When in action I follow them all round the ring, keeping within five feet of them 11 the while, and never in one position more than five seconds. Thus I am enabled to Judge the work of the men thoroughly, and at tbe same time give the spectators an equal opportunity of noticing every blow delivered. At a distance of i.ore than ten feet away a man cannot properly Judge tbe intent or effect of an unfair blow. To tell the precise effect and Intent of a man delivering a blow, the referee must be as close to the fighters as possible. He is then in a position to conscientiously decide a point strictly according to the recognized prize ring code. A referee should at all times, on entering the ring, have the confidence of the lighters whose efforts he Is to Judge. The fighters must feel that the referee will be strictly fair with them in every particular and that he will do everything possible in order not to decide a fight away on a foul. Personally, I think that a man who fouls an opponent after a caution leels that his chances of success according to fair methods are hopeless, and, in order to prevent tbe humilation of a knockout, employs tactics as unfair a.s they are vicious. In such a case I have no hesitation in disqualifying the offender. My idea of fair boxing is that there should be no wrestling, hugging, butting, clinching or any unfair methods that would injure an opponent Of course, a referee cannot be too cautious aud should use discretion ajflt the exThere are some games which have never had their boom, and quoits is one of them. Still, as nothing happens out the unexpected, it may be that the time is nearly ripe for quoits to be taken out of its undeserved obscurity, io be exalted to the status of a national same, to have weekly papers named after it and to have columns in the sporting press devoted to the doings of its chanipionn. Stranger things have happened. Who, for instance. would have said, when, at the end of .e sixties, a few energetic Bportsmen went wobbling about on bone-shaking bicycles, which it would have been far easier to push than to ride, that at the end of the century considerably more than a hundred thousand bicycles would be manufactured annually in Great Britian alone, and that the vast majority of the population would adopt this means of locomotion 7 One cannot imagine that quoits will ever attain such popularity as the bicycle, but the unprejudiced person can see no reason why it should not become as favorite a pastime as golf, which a very few years ago was almost unheard of. Quoits is a very fine game, especially in the winter time. It is splendid exercise, and trains the eye and the hand to act together in a way that few other sports can do, for the very essence of it Is accuracy of aim at a mark placed below the level of the hand. It has been objected that throwing quoits makes the player lopsided, but after all that Is easily remedied, for there Is nothing to prevent the player throw ing the quoit with bis left hand if he so pleases, and si-ch a change would make a varation in the game and also afford an excellent method of handicapping the men of unequal skill. Quoits strengthens the arms and shoulders, but it is not a pastime which primarily demands strength. A great advantage f the game s that it can e played in any small space, and that ;e ground need not be particularly . i Anv rovcb fid irct a .V a' . . . - I Tested and Tried a? a a' For 25 Years a' Would you feel perfectly 6sfa to put ell your money in a new bank ?

Fad 1 , Am CxeliaaT la Lavat Ceatairy Mow. Ballooning In the eighteenth century wsls aa much a craz as bicycling ia tha ninteenth, and a writer recounts some half, forgotten s.ories of .the days of Horac? Walpole, who, old grumbler that he was, had a special dislike to the acriul contrivances. In the early days of the sport the balloon was sent up muck after the fashion of kite-flying; la".r, animals were attached to the b-Uloons, and their immunity seems to have emboldened many notable persons to hazard the aerial ascent. It became the popular craze, its very danger lending it a charm to men of daring minds. In 1784 the sky was crowded with these aeritl carriages, snd to make a balloon a-er t was one of the achievements o i n of fashion. The Due de Cbartr undertook a short voyage from . Cloud, piloted by the brothers Kobeti, and a reverend father of the Oratorian Order came from Nantes in a balloon. In 1785 Blanchard, accompanied by Dr. Jeffries, crossed the English Channel to Calais, and Dr. Potain flew ever St. George's Channel from Dublin to London. These daring exploits increased tha popular admiration, and England did not escape the balloon contagion. Vincent Lunard, secretary to Prince Caramand, the Neapolitan Ambassador, was the first to.follow on Montgolfier'a track. Lunardi seems to have been a man of courage, not easily daunted by minor difficulties, else he would never have succeeded in launching his balloon. The correspondence between him and a friend in Iuly is full of interest, and sets befor jS in a life-like manner his experierc while the freshness and since-itf which the letters displi y have the eherm which always attends a personal narrative. We gather from this correspondence that Lunardi was by no means a man to whom money was co object. On the contrary, the outlay caused by building the balloon mads, it a matter of necessity that he should make it a paying success. After many contretemps and disappointments our Secretary carried hl project into effect on September 15, 1784. The ascent was to fttke place from the grounds of the RoMl Artillery Company. The charge otjkt ranee balseats of chairs. two admissions to view the constru ion of the balloon. Horace Walpole, writing to Sir Horace Mann, tells him how "he would not stir one step or pay 1 guinea to see one Lunardi. an Italian, mount into the clouds, such navigation ap pearing to him as childish as the flying kites of schoolboys." At 1:30 the Prince of Wales arilved, ind showed the utmost interest in the filling of the balloon with hydrogen This delicate operation, which, as every one knows, is a slow process, was conlucted under the personal superinten Jence of Dr. George Fordyce. Before It was half filled the hour mentioned for the 6tart was far exceeded. Lun lrdi, seeing that the impatience of the crowd was getting uncontrollable and afraid tbat the destruction of his bal loon might follow, hastily detei mined to commence his voyage without the necessary force, and, to lessen the weight, he left his companfon behind and took with him a dog, a cat and a pigeon. At 2:30 o'clock the cords were let go, and, a gun being fired off to announce he event, the balloon sailed away amid the shouts of the populace, who were nov convinced that no imposition was intended. When the balloon had risen to a certain height the pigeon managed to escape, and its flight through the air was greeted with acclamations by the gazing crowd below. Lunardi describes how he occupied himself on his aerial voyage. First looking after his Inner man, he tells his friend how much he enjoyed his lunch of cold chicken. This despatched, he took to writing letters. Three ol these he dropped from the balloon, trusting to the chance that some kind Samaritan might pick them up and pest them. One, at' all events, was de livered, for to It we ow a vivid picture if the aeronaut's first impressions: "I 3u!d distinguish St. Paul's and other churches from the houses; I saw the streets In lines all animated with bengs. whom I knew to be men and wo men, but wno I should otherwise have difficulty in describing. It was an enormous bee-hive, but the Industry of it was suspended. All the moving mass seemed to have no object but myself.

People crowded around him hut he was so Infatuated with his success that after a tew minutes he ascended again co rarndlv that the thprsn.. icenced two degrees. : Warned by the Intense -old that It might be dangerous to remain much longer exposed to Its Arctic effects. Lunardi wisely descended. He came flown at 4 o'clock in a large and beautiful meadow, which he found was near Ware In Hertfordshire.

The mala feature of this unicycle is found in the formation of tbe spokeless wheel, the rim of which is made in two sections, turning upon each other. The driving gear is secured to the inner section of the rim. This rim is composed of the two parts. One part has a concave portion, which receives the tire of the wheel and which Is connected by a web with another portion semicircular in form. constitutinz a ball raceway. Between this raeewav and the recessed nortlon ' of the other part balls are placed, wbich are engaged by rollers adapted m A NOVEL CNICYCLE. to take up tha wear.

' The welX of the traveliil-r pedals tile ruler drives the sprosLA' wheel, the motion thus produced being transmitted by means of a chain and small sprocket wheel to the drive wheel, slotted to engage the pins ef the traveling section. The drive wheel and the sprocket wheel are mounted on a single shaft moving In a s.ot concentric with the wheel rim. The shaft Is connected with the seat mast by links, the for ward ends of which receives the ends of the pedal shaft. The inventor states that the wheel may be steered by inclining the body to the right or to the lft. OIl Time nail Play an.

' Mow frnattlBM Stoa I ha MaehtM. Although there are many kinds of vehicles in service- on railway track, perhaps few people ever Laought of using such a thoroughfare for a toboggan slid, especially track with rack bars along its middle: and besides, there are few steam railway tracks steep enough for the purpose. The accompanying illustration shows a device used y the rtieers and employes ef the Maui tou Pikes Teak railway

TOBOGGAXTVO ON PIKES PEAK. for coasting down tbe track, the average descent of which Is M4.8 feet per mile. The toboggan is supposed to be used only for pleasure purposes, no employe being authorized to use it while In discharge o. his duties. The device consists essentially of a plank 12 inches wide and 3 feet in length, along the middle of the under side of which there is a cleat which rune between the rack bars and holds the toboggan thereon. On either side of the middle cleat there are brake shoes bolted to the plank at one end and bearing against the outside surfaces of the rack bars or cog teeth. These brake shoes are applied by clamps bent over the sides of the plank and operated by a lever which, as appears in the illustration, the rider holds within his grasp. ; The plank bears upon the upper edges ef the cog teeth by steel runners, which consist f two straps lent over the ends of the plank. To hold the device In balance a bar or pole is bolted te the top of the plank, crosswise, extending over the track rail on either side. Across the front end of Uie plank there is bolted a rest for the r.der's feet. The method ef operating the device is simply to place the toboggan on the track, sit uown and attend to the hrai The speed attainable with this teboggan depends upon the pleasure of the rider. A record of a fraction under a mile a minute has been made on the particular toboggan shown In this illustration, there bsing many of them In use on the road. The entire stretch of track from the top of the peak, down to Manitou, nine miles, la used, except at four points where the track rails diverge at sidings. At these points the rider must come to a stop and carry his toboggan about 40 feet.

"It is bad practice to be continually setting a watch by the stem-setter," observed a watch repairer te a report er, "for it has a tendency to wear oul the band that attaches the hands te the pinion. The hands are tightened to the pinion as firmly as they can be, and every setting loosens them somewhat. There Is a class of persons who set their watches every day rather than give a little attention to the matter of regulating them. They find that the watch gafns or loses a minute or a few minutes in each twenty-four hours, and instead of curing this by the regulator, which is put in the watch for that purpose and no other, they force back or forward the hands by the stem-setter or by a key. If the hand pinion wears out. which' it frequently does, it is considerable of a Job to put in a new one or place new hands on it, and tbe work necessarily costs something, for watch repairers have to charge for their work. If a person knows that a watch gains or toses a certain amount in each day. It Is better to calculate back er forward than to be continually setting it. A little study of the regulator will do the work mueb better, without the risk ef wearing out anything."

The hen Is more subject to disease than any of our domestic animals, nor Is this strange when It Is considered that she Is forced to work constantly nearly all tbe year in the production of eggs, when naturally she would lay but a few more than her wild sister, who lays only enough for one or two broods a year, it is usually the old fowls that are most subject to disease, and even then It is due to mismanagement, sucu as lack of pure ai.r clean water, wholesome food or everefse. Fowls fed largely on corn and confined at night in close quarters cannot long remain in perfect health. It Is plain, therefore, w.. animals la confinement are much more likely to be sick than those on the range. The best plan to prevent fowls from ailing Is to keep them when In confinement as nearly as possible to their i.ablts on the range. In feeding use a variety of grains, green foods, bone ana meat, witn plenty of pure water and plenty of fresh air at night. Avoid crowding them while In the house and furnish them as much yard room aa possible, together with a scratching shed in winter. In case any of them are sick from any cause, at once put tnem by themselves, away from the rest of the flock. Only by constant study of their likes and dislikes can poultry be made to pay large profits.
