spection of local slaughter bouses, ha;' returned home. Mr. Tucker, whila!

making an inspection of the Maher and Mitchell butchering establishment and that of Henry Holzapfe!. found conditions everything else but satisfactory. Both houses do not comply with either the state law or the city ordinances on the subject, and although Mr. Tucker condemned neither one, while in this city, he probably wiil report favorably on the condemnation of the Maher and Mitchell establishment and will also recommend the condemnation of the Holzapfel plant. Mr. Tucker has no power to condemn cither establishment, but will make recommendations to Dr. Hurty, secre

tary of the state board of health, an I be with other members of the board, will condemn, in case such is deeme-J advisable. Both Mr. Maher and Mr. Hadley. proprietors of the white brick slaughtering house, located between that of the Richmond Abattoir and Holzapfel establishment, state that they have received no notice of the condemnation of their plant, as Mr. Tucker said nothing to them about

any such action while here, i hey i also stated that they knew t. house I was in bad condition at the present , time, but were waiting till Dr. Bond j had looked over the scene, which he j did this afternoon and made recom- j

Two of the roving band of gypsies

which has been camped near the fair grounds and frequented the streets of

Richmond during the past week are now in ths city jail with the charge of

obtaining money under false pretenses

hanging over their heads. If the evi

dence apparently against them counts for anything the swarthy sons of the

European Southland are likely to stay in this county for a time. According to the police the gypsies have been working a very smooth game while here. Two candy firms, the Greeks and Hasty Bros., fell victims to the foreigners. Repairing

candy kettles was the occupation at which the aliens were supposed to labor and it was in such alleged capacity that they approached the two candy firms and applied for work. According to the - contract made they were to put new bottoms in kettles. They deposited he purchase price of the kettles with the firms In order to show good faith and took them away. When the kettles came back they looked to be as good as new. They shone brightly but it was a case of "all's not gold that glitters" and on

closer inspection Messrs Hasty and Kutcbe found that- they had been cleverly tricked and the kettles had not been materially changed. If anything they had less copper in them when they were returned than when taken away. Mr. Kufche spent $20.20

with the gypsies and Mr. Hasty $18.30. The matter was reported to tjie police last night, but at that time the gypsies could not be located. It seems that they felt satisfied with the work done here and started east. Supt. Bailey finally got a line on them at Eaton. The Marshall was instructed to hold them and this afternoon Officers Longman and Edwards went to Eaton with Mr. Hasty and- brought back the two men who had operated at Hasty 's store.

The Stale Bread of Hainrr. In Hungary they do not eat fresh bread. Whether it is because the Hungarians believe in hygiene more than their American or European brothers and sisters or not has never been told, but the Magyar is partial to stale bread, and the staler tne better. His "rozskeuyer." or ordinary black bread, as it ia eaten by the very large majority of the Magyar population, is carefully laid away on a shelf and dug out for consumption months and months after it has come out of the great ovens. If the huge loaf, weighing something like five pounds and for which the Hungarian pays 6 or 7 kreutzer, equivalent to about 3 or 4 cents in American money, has carefully been hidden away for two years, it is considered all the better. The Hungarian never thinks of where the bread is to come froin tomorrow. He thinks of where it Is to come from next year, for he has at least a year's supply on the shelves. The Hungarian bakes her bread 365 days ahead of

time. Her Wednesday baking is for

the Wednesday of a year to come; her

Thursday baking for the Thursday of a year to come.

To Cut the Klrht In Two. Professor Victor Hallopeau, member

of the Paris Academy of Medicine.,

says:

The true secret of long continued,

valuable brain work is to cut the night in two. The scholar, the inventor, the

financier, the literary creator, should be

asleep every night by 10 o'clock, to

wake again at, say, 2 in the morning. Three hours' work, from 2 to 5, in the

absolute tranquillity of the silent hours should mean the revealing of new powers, new possibilities, a wealth of ideas

undreamed of under the prevailing sys

tem.

From 5 to 8 or 8:30 sleep again. Tak

ing up then the day's work, the brain

will be still saturated with the mental fruits of the midnight vigil; there will

be no effort in putting into practice

or carrying further what was planned or begun those few hours before.

The habit may be hard to acquire.

but mechanical means of waking at first will Induce the predisposition.

Mysterious Glnka Balls. According to a foreign correspondent of the geological survey at Washington, among tbe most Interesting features of the small Island of Billlton, between Sumatra and Borneo, an Island long famous for its rich tin mines, controlled by tbe Dutch government, are the "glass balls of Blllitou," found among tbe tin ore deposits. These natural glass balls are round, with grooved surfaces. Similar phenomena are occasionally found In Borneo and Java as well as in Australia. The correspondent quoted thinks they cannot be artificial, and there are no volcanoes near enough to support the theory that they are volcanic bombs. Besides, It is claimed, tbe glassy rocks produced by the nearest volcanoes arc quite different in their nature from the mate

rial of tbe balls. It Is suspected that the mysterious objects were ejected ages ago from tbe volcanoes of the moon and afterward fell upoa tho earth. "Carueol" It Ktymolosr. I have often been asked for the etymology of "caracul." which Is a term now largely used by furriers to denote a variety of the fur called astrakhan. The new English dictionary does not contain caracul, but it has caracal, which is liable to be confused with It, though really quite a different word. Tbe caracal is an animal, but caracul, like tbe nearly synonymous term, astrakhan. Is the name of a place Kara Kol L e., the Black lake, near Bokhara, which has long been celebrated for Its output of furs.
