THE PULLMAN BOYCOTT. iv iS EFFECTIVE ON MANY WEST- ERN RAILROADS. The American Railway Union Bave Taken Active Measures- Passengers and - cials Now Do the Work Formerly Done by Train Hands. Chicago, June 27. — The boycott of the American Railway Union against the Pullman Company was put into force, and almost precipitated a riot. The Illinois Central switchmen struck. Traftic was completely tied up for sev- eral hours; then the railroad officials took the places of the strikers and succeeded in getting out two through trains. But at Grand crossing they were stopped, and the Pullman cars were side-tracked. It was announced at noon by the American Railway Union that the strike ordered on the Great Western, the Northern Pacific, the Wisconsin Central and Baltimore and Ohio had become effective. The only sign of the strike this morning is in the Illinois Central yards. The suburban trains are run- ning few and far between, and then _only when some passengers have cour- age enough to turn the switches. None of the other roads have been molested as yet. It is probable that there will be a general strike on the Illionis Cen- tral, as employees are holding a meet- ing this morning. i The police have just been sent to the Grand Central Depot to protect the Great Western trains, as it is up- ‘derstood this. will be the next road which the strikers will attempt to bring under their control. Windows were broken on one Pullman car at- jtached to the Illinois Central this {morning as it was coming into the city. There were no passengers in the berth. The colored union railway men an- {nounced this morning that they would offer to fill the places of all the strik- ers with experienced colored railroad men. The Illinois Central has issued a no- Se that it would not accept any \freight. The road is practically tied sup. ————————— THE MINERS. The Leaders Urge the Men to Resume Wora.

Then it was discovered =Sat the dog was mad and it was shot. To Cross Behring Strait.

Stength of that Kind Can Be Acquired by Long Practice. The iron-jawed performer in a cir- cus now doing some eastern cities was visited by areporter for the New York Press recently. She is a rosy-cheeked woman with smiling blue eyes, and no one looking at her two rows of even, white teeth would imagine that they could possibly stand the strain to which they are daily put. “Any ordinary person,” said she, “ought to lift thirty or forty pounds with his jaw, but I have lifted five nen, weighing altogether 700 pounds. developing the muscles of the jaw and neck a person of ordinary strength ought to be able to hold up 200 pounds with the jaw.” “Is an iron jaw a gift of nature?” she was asked, “or is it acquired?” “Oh,” she answered, “one must be born with am iron jaw in order to do such a performance as I do, although strength of that kind can be acquired. I begac by lifting twenty-pound weights with my teeth, and then used heavier weights, until I could lift an object as heavy as myself. I have been in the business nine years now,% and can sustain more than five times | my weight with the strength of my teeth and jaws. Holding up and spin- | ning around a heavy man with my teeth is about the same as holding up a barrel of flour in that way.” “Is that slide you make down the wire a dangerous feat?’ she was ask- ed. “Well, no accident ever happened to me,” she said. “I have no fear in doing it. Ordinarily I do not even use a netting under my trapeze, but here | the law obliges me to. I shall not use | one when I go out West.” “What are your sensations In gomg : down the wire?” “Well, I see nothing; my eyes are! turned toward the roof. I hear a loud buzzing noise made by the wheel that goes over the wire. The cushion at | the bottom is so arranged that it gives three or four feet when I strike it. If it did not I probably would have! broken bones. In the Paris Hippo- drome I used to slide down a wire 320 feet long.” “Are you yourself a foreigner—per- haps a countess or a duchess?” “No, Iam an American girl. I was born in Pittsburg. The qualifications necessary for such a business as I am in are nerve, courage and extraordin- ary strength. The circus business is one in which a woman gets as much wages as a man. Anna _ Dickinson, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lilly Dever- eux Blake and the rest of the strong- minded women are always publicly admiring pluck in their sex. I think the circus women have it above all others.” Sand Gardens for Children. Att a meeting in Boston recently of the Moral Educational Association, Mrs. Kate Gannet Wells spoke on “Sand Gardens,” which have proved such zodsends to the children of the very poor. In Germany, says the Bos- ton Advertiser, the sand gardens have long since become the favorite resorts not only for the poor children, but the very rich as well. For seven years the school gardens in Boston have been open, and in three years the Charlesbank Garden, with its grass, trees, flowers and glorious view of the river, has become a paradise not only for the hundreds of children, but for the weary mothers, who either leave their children in these gardens, under wise asd watchful care, while they go to work, or else they carry their mend- ing and sun themselves while the youngsters play. These banks are also educational. During the “Fall of Babylon,” for in- stance, it was enacted with the aid of paper soldiers from mornipg till night and Grecian history was as fam- iliar to the children as bread and but- ter. There is many a pathetic story of the little crippled children who drink in pleasure and sunshine to- gether. They are distinctly not kin- dergarten, not industrial and not de- nominational in religion. The poorest of the poor come. -The great work is earried on by voluntary contributions; $1,400 will take care of 50,000 chil- dren. ‘This is a distinct feature of hygienic education in city life, with a wonderful moral influence. The Art of Getting On. The best equipment that either men or women could have is definite knowledge, if it be only of one thing. The first question I ask those who come to me for advice, says a writer in Lippincott’s, is: “What can you do?’ If the answer is—as it almost invariably proves to be—“Anything,” my heart fills with despair for the applicant. In the money-making world “anything” means “nothing.” It is overrun with a vast army of in- capables ready to rush in and under- take “anything.” What is needed is some one who can do something as opposed to-any one who can do any- thing. Competency is the only equip- ment that is worth anything now-a- days. A Memorial to the Poet Keats. Edmund W. Gosse writes to the Lon- don Times announcing a proposed Eng- jish memorial to the poet Keats. He says that an Americon committee has been engaged during the last five years preparing it, and that the details have been kept absolutely secret, even in the United States. The movement was due to the energy of Mr. IF. Hol- land Day, of Norwood, Mass. The work is now accomplished. Mr. Day has arrived in England with a marble bust of Keats, which will soon be un- veiled in the parish church at Hamp- stead. An English Corn Cure. Here is a recipe for a paint suitable for either the hard or soft species of corn; it should be applied with a camel's hair brush on five or six suc- cessive nights, at the end of which time the upper portion can be easily removed, after the foot has been soak- in warm water. In the case of an old enemy, the treatment should be re- peated until the growth has entirely disappeared. ‘Thirty grains of sali- eylie acid, and five grains of Indian hemp. to be dissolved in half an ounce of fluid collodion.

He Used His Fingers for Forks and Some times Took His Soup After Dessert. “After “Napoleon et le Femmes,” the industrious and indefatigable M. Fred- eric Masson has now given to the pub- lic another entertaining and gossipy volume entitled “Napoleon Chez-lui,” which is published in Dentu. Herein the author shows us the Great Con- queror at ‘home, the interest of the descriptions being heightened by M. de Myrbach’s amusing illustrations. including Napoleon in bed, an impe- rial shave and His Majesty at table before one of those meals—chiefly consisting of chicken and pastry— washed down by well-watered Cham- bertin, which were despatched in a slovenly manner and in about seven ininutes. M. Masson neglects night, tells how he wore his slippers until they were utterly dilapidated and how he had himgelf brused down with eau de Cologne every day, making the valet work as if he were scrubbing a donkey. At 6:30 every morning Con- stant—the chief valet—entered the ‘@ Emperor’s bedroom and flung the win- Meneval presented the letters and a servant brought in a cup of tea or orange flower water. Cor- visart on entering was usually salut- ed with the words, “Ah! there you you great quack! Have you been ling many people lately?’ While having a warm bath, after Constant had related the gossip of the day, the Emperor listened to Meneval’s sum- maries of the newspapers. Next fol- lowed the levee, or “reception,” at 9 o'clock the special audience and at 11 dejeuner. At this meal the Emperor frequently used his fingers as forks and cared little for the order of the | service, sometimes eating soup last. He liked green haricot pods, but was always afraid of finding hairs in them. The meal was occasionally rather in- ternational in composition. Bonaparte being partial to many of the dishes popular in the countries wherein he had conducted campaigns. Thus, after Egypt, he became very fond of pilaff and dates. He was, however, most in favor of Italian frittered food and pas and liked chicken in every \ cooked form. As to his occasional calls for sol- diers’ soup and commissariat bread, M. Masson believes that Napoleon only assumed his taste in that direc- tion for parade purposes. He was knewn on one occasion to swallow a plate of military soup after having a pulled out of it—but then the sol- diers were looking on. Had his cook, Dunan—a worthy descendant of Vatel --put army bouillon before him at the Tuileries, Napoleon would probably have flung the plate and its contents ut the head of the chef. Dunan, by the way, was once about to resign be- cause the Emperor refused ‘to eat cre- pinettes de perdreau twice in one month, but he remained on at Du- roc’s suggestion, mighty master by a dish of fowl. Now and then the dejeuner lasted longer than seven or eight min- utes, but only when Napoleon had morning guests like Talma. David or Isabey. M. Masson has also a good deal to say about Bonaparte’s enormous capacity for work, which caused him often to miss the official dinner hour, and to rise at 3 o'clock in the morning in order to study bud- gets, ministerial reports and army re- turns. After ‘his second marriage there was less freedom in the Court. Etiquette was more strictly enforced | than ever, and the Emperor became more inaccessible and Olympian. M. Masson modestly says that his book is only intended to provide contribu- tions to history. Im any case, it is far more interesting reading than many a work of fiction—London Telegraph. Woman’s Ingenuity Rarely Fails. Women, who, for various reasons, da their own dressmaking, well know the trouble and difficulty of properly fit- ting a waist. The draping of the skirt is more easily accomplished, even if Aunt Abie’s method of calling in the hired man and draping it upon him has to be adopted at last. A woman set her wits to work recently, and hit upon a unique idea. She took an old waist that fitted her to perfection, and which buttoned down the front. She buttoned it, then sewed the button- ‘holes all tight and cut the buttons off. Then he took a piece of cardboard the size of the neck and sewed it in as a cover, and upon this she raised a pin cushion by means of rags and saw dust. The sleeves were cut off at the elbow and tightly tied, and then the figure was inverted and tightly pack- ed with sawdust. This was allowed to settle for two days, and was then again punched and pounded until every crevice was rammed tight. Then another piece of cardboard was cut to fill the bottom orifice, and this was sewed in, and the whole figure cover- ed with muslin to prevent the saw- dust leaking, and to afford a good pin hold. The model is now the exact shape of the individual ‘the dress is intended for, and all she needs to do ts to place the model on the table, put on it a pair of corsets and fit the ma- terial over these. When the model grew “flabby” she tightened it by forcing the sawdust out of the arms ‘nto the bust, and refilling the arms with fresh sawdust—Ladies’ Home Journal. His Honor Gets Even. “The charge against this man, your honor is drunk and disorderly,” said the officer. “I don’t deny it, judge,” said the prisoner. “I got pretty drunk, I guess, but it was my first offence, and I know when I’ve had enough. I shan’t do it again.” “In thait case,” said the magistrate, “ft am disposed to be—but haven't I eeen you before?” “T reckon you ‘have, judge. I live tight across the street from you.” “You do, hey? Have you a lawn mower?” “Yes.” “You get up at 5 o’clock in the morning and run it till ‘breakfast time, don’t you?” “Yes. That’s the kind of a man [ am. I’m always busy and never let any of my time go to—” “Thirty days. Take him away and eall the next.”—Chicago Tribune. Beware. Lady—Of course, you are always looking for work?
