At will be five weeks this noon since a robu: compactly built man strode sturdily up tht steps of Clarendon Hail, and with a quietly con- Bdent smile submitted himself to the tspection of the physicians who awaited him. Those Who were yet fgnorant speedily learnad the Uitte there was to know about him—that he was born in Tunbridge Wells, Engiand, tn 1831, came to this country at the age of seventeen, and going to Wisconsin, soon t the study of medicine,alterward removing to Minneapoi Mipn., and Feecusing there as an eclect physician, hey knew, too, that the stranger, whom many of them thén saw for the first time, Was a firm believer tn the virtues ol abstinence from food as tending to health and the curing of disease, and also held that life could be pro- longed without food for a longer period than had ever come under the direct observation of physiologists, Moreover, the doctors had read or been told that the man before them claimed to have subdstanUated his views by an expert. ment upon himself; that he clatmed to nave fasted forty-two days at Minneapolis inJuiy and August; 1877, under the partial supervision of Dr. A. Moyer, and had thereby cured rheu- matism of the heart and inflammation of the stomach, with which ie had previously been affected. Understanding this, the doctors knew, too, that the Minnesota doctor had offered him- Self as the subject of an experiment to prove that his former statements were true, and to do publicly something of which no authenticated record has been banded down from the past. Naturally the assembled doctors watched this man With interest and curiosity, though ably none of them belleved he ‘would pilsh the task he had voluntarily undertaken, ‘They Saw a man whose hair had been whitened by the passage of forty-nine years, but whose body was aluost that of an athlete.” About me- dinm height, with broad square shoulders, deep ‘and still elastic step, his appearance q olor to his boast that he could have ined athletic renown had he chosen that fleid istinction.

His heavy brow overhung deep set, determined eyes. From the sides of his straight, large nose slight Itnes ran down to the corners of his touth, whose thin lipS were set in a look of determination. Powertul jaws and a square, heavily moulded chin, gave to his face an aspect of strength and indoiitable resolution. His high cheek bones were fairly covered with flesh, though the face was not very full. Light side whiskers lest him something of an Eng- Ush aspect, and his square head was uprigntly poised on a still well-rounded ueck. Waen his clothes were removed and the doctors crowded nearer, they found his flesh solid, the very fat seeming firm instead of being soft and tlabby. WHAT DR. TANNER 1S. A shapeless bh mutied in biankets lay on acot in the south gallery of Clarenaon Hall yesterday afternoon. From a little distance a few gray hairs standing stiilly out were all that showed that anything except blankets was on the cot. Presently the heap moved uneasily, anda face appeared at oneend of the bed—a face in which there was something intent, Herce and woltish as the man suddenly awak- ened and feebly raised himself on his arm. Then he seated bimself on the edge ef the cot, anda film seemed to come over the sunken eyes, that lost their lustre and became half Closed, as if weighed down by a remorseless. weariness. As the face, still showlag a dull color, settled into repose, it seemed to be drawn into a series of Unes converg- Ing to the point of the nose. Three deep wrinkles in the middle or the brow gave an as- pect of anxiety and suffering to the face. Rigid Ines extended to the corners of the mouth. Heavy shadows were visible under the caverp- ous eyes, and the skin was tightly drawn over the bones of the forehead and cheeks. A slightly tremulous motion was visible in the once firmly set lips, only tughtly closed now when the owner becomes excited and aroused. As the man sat on the cot his head wearily sank forward, as if his shrunken neck were power- less to support it. He buried his face in his hands—no longer white, but of an almost pur- plish hue. His bent back, drooping head and herveless hands told of a moment of despond ency, and presented a picture of intense but. silent misery. ‘Then the man slowly rose, waver- ing a little at first, and half reaching out as if for ‘some suppor® His head was still bent forward, his rounded shoulders made his chest seem flat, and his loosely hanging clothing easily brougnt belief in the fact that he had lost 31 pounds in 34days._ A few steps were taken, the slippered feet shufilipg heavily along the bare tloor, and the weak limbs trembling a little underneath the weight they almost failed to support. Then some one spoke, and the man seemed to realize that every motion was closely watched. His head went up, the fron jaws settled firmly to- gether, and a new Iight came into the clouded eyes. With atrace of his old-time vigor, the feeble walker Increased his pace, taking long strides, although his feet sulll shufied along the ioor.

He looked vacantly around for a moment, then feeling that the ne- cessity fur exertion was past, his head again arepped forward, and he looked asleep, or busied in dismal thoughts of himself, Such was and such is Dr. Tanner. His care- worn face and unnatural eyes show plaluly the ‘maciation, anxtety and suffering that he has ‘ndergone.

Indinapolis Herald.» Gentuemen of refinement, taste and wealth, are given to Indulging some particular fancy, Mmanla or hobby to tne fullest extent. Some spend fortunes on fine pictures and bric-a-brac. some collect antique books, both oid and new; while others invest largely in diamonds and other precious gems, “And these are hunz, cased and cherished, and exhibited to friends and admirers as treasures of the highest or- der. But the world is made of maiay men of many minds. While works of art are loved by some, they give back no affec- Uon in return to the Owner. Mr. Robert Bon- ner, the widely known connoisseur, has an expensive but humane fancy for horses. ‘They are not only Jovable, but loving, and give affection in return for the tender care and ad- miration bestowed upon them. No gentleman io Ainerica possesses this extravagant taste and gratifies Uso royally as Mr. Bonner. Notwith- standing he already owns over twenty of the most valuable and best-known horses tn the country, he ts continually making additions to the collection whenever he comes upon one that strikes bis fancy.

Major Mor- ton is a oo bright bay, handsome, rapid and valuable. May Bird is a shapely creature as black as 4 crow, but as graceful as the bird is awkward, and iravels as well under saddle as in harness. Molsey is another beauty; bay, with black mane, tall and feet, and soft, gentle eyes, which are Very attractive. Grafton 1s a 2:15 trotter, and, like Joe Elliott, is fast. Pocahontas is known tar ie.

No one can tell what minute he will be upset, biown up or knocked overboard. Amanda, I'm going to learn you how to swim.” “Learn me?” queried the “wife as she paused her sewing. Yes, you.

Now, then, put your hands so; See them forward so; take a sweep and bring em back so. See how easy it’s done?

One day, three months ago, a citizen of De- troit hed occasion to examine a rat-trap, and While so dolng it suddenly struck him that it was a foolish waste of tine to sect a trap for One rat at atime. As near as he gould find out there are in this county fully 100 rats to each ote © and they are Increasing much faster than the traps. He wen’ home and an work, and yesterday invited representatives of the press to inspect the result of his labors. He has invented and built an entirely new thing {n rat-traps. He went to work on the theory that if one small trap caught one rat, a big trap ought to catch as many more in proportion. ils trap 1s designed to catch 500 rats at once. It ts abont tle size of a hen-coop, tastefully painted, furnished witha tower at each end, and can be baited with 20 pounds of cheese, In- side is a tub of water in which such rats a8 do suicide and have the affair of their minds.
