2 THE DAILY BEE-=OMAHA, — JTUESDAY, JANUARY 1, 1834, The Weak and the Impure. e The merry little mountain brook, as it lightly dances over the rocks and sparkles in the sunshine on its way dI:)wn to the river, is pure and flean. It is active; therefore, it is ealthy. It is vigorous; therefore, it resists impurity. But the sluggish pool, where the current is nofstrong enough to keep the water in motion, is stagnant and foul. Dirt and rubbish are thrown nto it, and stay there. Impurities and vile odors make it a breeder of disease and an object to be avoided. When the blood is strong and rich and red, and vigorously courses its accustomed rounds througu arteries and veins, the system is hearty and healthy. When the blood is thin and poor and weak, impurities and defilements creep into it, and it has no strength to cast them out, Then the system runs down, Brown's Iron Bitters contains the only preparation of iron which can enrich the blood, and make it {mrc, vigorous, and healthy.

INFORMATION FOR GENER. HAZ Weather Signs of the Russlan Mou- Jiks, A Russian admirer of Gen. Hazen, the weather prophet and author of essays on tornadoes, Hen coops, umbrellas, and hogs, wishes to inform ~the chief of ‘tho signal service some of the weather signs of the Russian moujiks, who have for 1,000 years studied the meterological sig- nificance of the actions of mice, cats, lob sters, fish, dogs, swallows, swans, goese, ducks, aoosters, smeke, and acorns: 1f sparrows are busy about their nests or fly in flocks, the weather will be clear and fair. P 4 1 swans fly southward quite Iate in the season, say at the end of Septembor; the fall will be warm and prolonged. 1 swallows fly near the ground, thare will be rainy or windy weather. f 1f chicks seek shelter, the weather will be wet. i > 1f chickens and other fowls pick their feathers, there will be cloudy and damp weather. 1f, during severe frosts, roosters crow very carly, the weather will become moderate or even warm, When ducks bathe and quack there will be rain, and when they are quiet there will be a thunder storm. If geese bathe it will rain. If acat searches for a warm place there will be cold weather, If a cat ceatohes a door, table or other object with its claws there will be windy and snowy weather, l:’ydugu roll in winter there will be snow; if in summer there will rain. If ‘mice make their nests above the ground in ricks _the fall will be rainy and prolonged, If they make their nests under ricks upon the ground the spring will be fair. If , they make their nests beforo the crop is reaped rainy weather will bogin in August and the fall will be bad. Fish appear on the surface of water be- fore rain, and go to the bottom before a strong wind. Lobsters crawl upon the banks before rainy weather. ? 5 If oak lands grow plentiful the follow- ing winter will be severe and the summer plentiful. 1f smoke sinks to the ground when there is no wind, in winter it will snow, in summer it will rain. If smoke rises even during bad weather fair weather will follow, If at sunset there are nocloud the next day will be fair; if the sun sets in clouds the next day will be cloudy and perhaps rainy. If tho setting sun is red, the next day there will bea strong wind. If the horns of the new moon are long and sharp, then in winter the whele month will be cold, and in summer fair, 1f the moon looks pale, it will rain; if clear and bright, there will be fair weather. If fog lies on the ground there will be fair weather; if it rises in the evening,the next day will be warm, 1f the first thunder is heard from the south, during the coming summer there will be many thunder storms. If it thunders in winter there will be a strong wind. 1If there are red clouds betore surise, the day will be very windy. If a person lets the new moon shine on his or her empty pocketbook, he or she will not have a single penny during the whole month. L Nothing Like It.

New York Letter: The low neck may be said to be on the rampage. It is demi- nant. It is universal in ultra-fashion- able society and it is accompanied by the smallest and shortest of sleeves—not straps, but real sleeves only short and close to the arms, not putled or set intoa band. The Venetian style, as brought down to us by artists and writers when Venice was in its glory; and as repro- duced on the stage at a recent opera, was very splendid. Sleeves were double, long, close, and flowing; bodices were pointed, richly embroidered with gold or precious stones, and finished at the neck with the fan-shaped collar of stiff-em- broidered lace. The robes were gorgeous in color, of the richest velvet and brocade, and the elaborately-trimmed hair was often surmounted with small crown. shaped head-dresses of velvet, incrusted ith jewels, Contrast this magnificence with the dullness and sameness of rows of necks and arms to be seen at operas, not remarkable for beauty, whitened into liveliness and only alternating in the dif- ferent degrees of plump and soraggy. The astonishing imbecility of a blind adher- ence to a tixed style is its fru?nuut and exceeding unbecomingness. The display of bone is as painful as the display of flesh is disgusting. Both require the modifying influences of the soft and gen- tle fabrics which trail their length upon protected. Round or square depends upon the seased, If she has ‘‘good” shoulders she may wear around waist,*and the more it leaves them exposed the better. If she has not good shoulders she should have the low bodice, cut square, 8o as to bring astrap over them, this being the only concession fashison makes to the weak- neas to the form divine. But who is to be the judge of the different kinds of shoulders! Not the possessor,and certain- ly not the dressmaker, for she would risk the loss of a customer The happy correlation or correspondence, therefore, which should exist between the shoulders and their covering, or rather uncovering, is a8 uncertain as home-made bread or bliss in matrimeny. iWlio Speakers and Swgers find 1.

In a purty of poker players here a night or two ago the conversation turned upon high stakes at gambling, and then upon the queer character of bets made in the presence of the speakers in the past. “Mustang Joe," said one, *'1 knew in Texas, He made his living by catching and selling mustangs, and he was a gam- “|one bas gone bler from 'way back, too. Played to win or lose, and, where ‘short cards’ were concerned, generally won, He rode a beautiful horse he called ‘Dar.;' had him caparisoned as gorgeously as a lady at the Vanderbilt ball, with gold and silver trap- pings, and had him trained better than anycircushorseTeversaw. Joehad refused 85,000 for him, saddle and bridle. One night I was watching a faro game in San Antonio. The chips were five dollars, and there was no limit, Joe had just come in from Mexico with nearly 11,000 in cosh, and he was playing. The ace and quecn seemed to be his favorite cards, and 8600 went on every bet he made. He finally got broke. ‘Go on with the deal—I'll be back in a minute,’ he said to the dealer, Jack Bryant, and went out. The next deal had just com- menced when Joe returned, and after him, harnessed in all his bravery,stepped the horse Dan. ‘“‘Any aces out!’ asked Joe coolly, while the crowd looked with amazement at the horse, which was gazing with al- most supernatural intelligence at the faro layout, ““‘One,” answered Bryant laconically. ¢ Jack, will you give me 400 for Dan?’ asked Joe. U ¢¥en.’ “‘He goes for $400, then!’ Dan, the horse, reared himself at a sign from Joe, and one of his four hoofs the gambler placed on the layout on the ace. Every- one watched in breathless silence. The card won. “‘Go home, Dan,’ said Joe, and the horse trotted out of the room and to his stable. Joo sat, pl.yed all night and drew out of the game 89,000 ahead.” i Hoods Sarsaparilla Is designed to meet the wants of those who need a medicine to build them up, givo them an appetite, purify their blood and oil up the machinery of their bodics, No other article takes hold of the system and hits exactly the spot like Hood's Sarsaparilla.

It re- quires physical courage of the highest order, combined with great powers of endurance and a capacity for adapting one's self to a constant change of scene and surrounding. People who witness the brilliant performances in the ring, in an atmosphere laden with light and music, little dream of the wearisome toil and drudgery which precede them.” The speaker was a fair-haired English lady, who came to this country from Lon- don to fill an engagement as leading equestrienne in a circus, *‘The training necessary to success in equestrian performances,” continued she, *‘i1s monotonous 1n the extreme, and in some parts very dangerous. None but those in rugged health ever withstand it, and no one without a perfect physical organization should undertake it. The ordinary exercises of the ridingschool are trifles as compared with the tasks of professional training. No woman, unless she is possessed of extraordinary natural skill, ought te appear in the ring before an audience until she has graduated from a riding-school, and then practised in the ring four or five hours every day for at least six months. These six months will be a period of torture and weariness to her, but she must undergo them or run the risk of almost certain failure and humiliation upon her first appearance in publio. ‘“The best equestrian instructor in Eu- rope—in fact the only one of established reputationis M. Salmonsky of Berlin. He is one of the greatest horsemen in the world, and his great circus includes some of the finest stock on the Continent. He saw me first in London, my native place, many years ago, when I wd performing with my brothers and sisters in Henley's Regent Street circus, and offered to take me with him to Berlin and complete my training. I accepted, and entered his circus a% the German capital, where I re- ceived the most careful instruction he could give me, “‘Salmonsky would send me into the ring with his most spirited horses every day, and stand by to direct my exercises. Sometimes I thought ¥ should never sur- vive the terrible discipline, and often thought I should go back to London and content myself with being a second-rate rider, but the kindness of my good old instructor softened the innumerable bumps and bruises | received, and at last I triumphed. Emperor William and the crown prince attended the circus the night I made my debut, and compliment- T)d me formally and porsonally from their 0X. ‘M. Salmonsky’s course of training is very rigid, and that accounts for its thor- oughness., The pupil must surrender wholly to the instructor, and become very much as a ball of wax in his hands. At the outset, however, the scholar must ob- tain complete mastery of her horses. Foar is a quality utterly hoatile to success- ful equestrianism, and unless the pupil can banish it from the start she had bet- ter give up her ambition and abandon the profession, She will never succeed so {ung a8 she is afrmud either of herself or her horses. *‘As I said before, no one unacquainted with the dangerous preparatory imstruc- tion of an equestirenne has any proper estimate of the toil and weariness which her performance represents. One never knows the boundless capacity of the human frame for pains and aches until into training for cir- cus-riding. What with unruly horses, uncomfortable saddles, and the violent exercise involved, five or six hours of practice eviry day for months is certain to do one of two things—it either kills the pupil or brings her up to the perfec- tion of physical womanhood. The hours of practice adopted by M. Salmonsky were in the forenoon—generally from 8 to 12, with, perhaps, another hour or two in the evening. To withstand this course one must dress loosely and become a dovotee to plain living and the laws of hygiene. Any neglect of these princi- ples, or any great loss of sleep, usually result in broken health and professional failure,” | — Gallant Rescues, There can be something horoie 1 o medi- cine as well as in individuals, Zwdock Blood Hilters bave effected many & gallant rescuo among the suffering sick.

The advantage is'as yet on the side of the beasts. Taking the returns of seven years, we find that man has killed about @ 140,000 wild beasts—tigers, bears, leop- ards, wolves, hyenas, and others—or creation,”” For, as a matter of fact, the loss of humtnelife in nearly every district in India is larger i the last of the seven years which we have had under review than in the first, Against the snakes there is an annu- ally increasing bitterness, and if it were not that Asiatics are Asiatics, such a wholesale slaughter of these deadly rep- tiles might be accomplished as would thin their numbers very rapidly and in cortain _districts probably exterminate them. Yet unfortunately the Hindo per- sists in building huts without windows and in keeping his firewood and domestic chattles in the darkest corner of his hut, and in going with bare feet and hands and without a light of any kind to fetch them when he needs them. The result is that he disturbs a snake, and when the doctor comes to see the corpse he finds ither on the fingers or the toes the tiny doubls junctnre which is the cobra’s or korait's broad arrow of death. To com- bat the snake successfully there is needed in the first place daylight, and in the next shoe-leather. These reptiles are noc- turnal, and against boots are power- less. The result is that during all the time Kuropeans have been in India there have been few cases of snake-bite among them. When a Euro- pean meets a snake he kills it; but when a snake meets a native, it kills him. The former lives in a_well-lighted house, and wears clothing all over his body, and against this double advantage the snake, the most easily killed or crippled of all created creatures, has no chance. The native, however, goes groping with bare limbs in the corners of his pitch-dark rooms, and the result is death, swift, painful, and inevitable. Another point of contrast that illustrates the fortunate immunity of Buropeans is that their houses are raised above the ground, and hat the snake though it may make the complete circuit of the walls, discovers no means of ingress except the bath-room water-pipe, and this it always finds cov- ered by perforated zinc for the very pur- pose of preventing snakes from coming into houses. The native hut, on the other hand, is on the level of the ground, and the greater part of the .frontis a ‘“*doorway,” protected only by hanging nets and loosely made hurdles of straw or grasses. The snake, therefore, in- commoded, it may be, by the rain, which has inundated its hole, sallies forth to find dry quarters, and has cnly to travel along the wall of the first hut to find an easy passage open for it, and a comforta- ble corner to occupy For snakes do not go into houses with malignant inten- tion. They are most anxious to keep out of sight and of men’s way; but when the reptile has made itself at home under a niat or behind a handful of firewood, and any one rudely distubs it theterrified creature strikes inself-defense. Against the venomous snakes, then, precautions are easily possible, though they involve a very serious revolution in Indian manners and customs and really ought for efficien cy, to be preceded by alterations in archi- tecture and personal apparel, and a more about 20,000 annually. During the same }lerind! the beasts have destroyed 28,000 human Deings, or about 4,000 a year. Taking the respective rates of the re- production of species human and feral, it is obvious that there is very little to choose between the two lists of casualties, and that the beasts will make good the deficiencies in their numbers as quickly as, if not sooner than the human beings. On the side of the tigers and their :l- lies has to be added the advantage gained of having killed during the same seven years an annual average of 45,000 head of cattle, or a total of 340,000, and in- flicted further a monetary expenditure upon the government of £10,000 a year. The balance, therefore, roughly stated, stands thus—one human beinggith eleven head of cattle and three pounds in cash, for every five wild beasts. In the great fight with the snakes, the advantage, numerically,. is immensely in favor of humanity, for, while the reptiles killed about eighteen thousand human beings every year, and about three thousand cattle, they lost of their own numbers nearly two hundred thousand annually. Here again, how- over, the question of reproduction ought to be considered, and it will be seen that the outcome of the conflict is really very evenly balanced, for a given number of snakes will add two hundred thousand to their numbers in a far shorter time tnan the same number of human beings will add eighteen thousand. So that as the question of extermination stands in India to-day, it seems just as probable that men and their domestic cattle will be extinct before the wild beasts and venomous snakes. In alliance these two orders of deadly creatures are very formidable, for the multiplication of human population makes no difference to the snakes, except that the number of their victims increases, while the spread of cultivation gives the beasts of prey a wider field for reprisals. Every acre brought under the plow, is a protest against the savage aboriginal lifo of the quadrupeds, but for every acre under the plow, there must be brought several acres under pasturage.

Rucker, of Davis Mills, Va., says: “‘Dr. Richmond’s Samaritan Ner- vine cured my boy of fits.” You can get it at Druggists, An Ihicos Farmer's Theory, Kansas City Times, That lightning killed his soil is the be- liet of a farmer in Newton, Ill. He writes: *“This summer, when my corn was two feet high, the lightning struck it, killing a patch about 100 square feet in extent, It seemed to have killed the ground, as neither weed nor spear of grass has grown on it since., The ground looks dead, and I believe it is. Occa- sionaly these spots are met with all over puts upon his fields, a hostage to the old ords of the manor. They exact their tithes, too, these fierce barons of the woodland, with no considerate hand; and for the sake of a single meal off a wretch- ed pair of plow oxen a tiger and his mate will throw out of cultivation twenty acres of arable land. In one district some fifty square miles of estate have thus been reclaimed by the original land- lords. ‘They ate up the villager's plow cattle, and now and then a vilager also, and the result was that the fields of the district lapsed to them by default of other occupancy, and became the same comfortable, quiet jungle that they had known it to be in the past. The further, therefore, the man pushes his herds and flocks and the further he goes himself the more he sets himself in the wrong with the hereditary lords of the soil. He drives away- the wild things, “‘the villains.” upon which, in the feudal days of the beasts, the nobles used to feed, and thrusts under the nose of the starving aristocracy a class of animal, the domesticated beef, which is more gener- ous eating and not nearly so nimble as the antelopes that used to graze on the same pastures. What wonder, then, that the Rajahs of the jungle should lounge'out from their leafy paluces and help themselves to the clumsy, foolish- mannered, horned things that they find at their very doors, or that they should eat the poor, frightened, helpless man or woman whom they discover cowering be- hind the bushes or trying to hide among the grain-crops’ Cattle and human be- ings alike are there as hostages, and if men will persist in trusting to the gener- osity or chivalry of beasts of prey, they must pay the price of their misplaced confidence, Such ravages, however, are, no doubt, to be met by force, and every year the government of India entertains fresh intentions of taking the field in earnest against the carnivora. Every year, however, ses with just the same toll upon the lives of men and their animals, and the same digplay of impo. tence upon the part of the, *‘lords of the prairies, The people account for them as buffalo tramps, where buffalces congregated in fly time, and tramped un- til they killed the soil, but from the above occurrence 1 account for them as having been struck by lightning.” Fire!
