THE USE OF COCAINE.
Bon Train re and Jockey Flail It Use
ful aa a Bracer For Their Nag.
Within a recent period cocaine has
come into nse on the race track as a
stimulant. Horses that are worn and ex
hausted, or are uncertain as to ipeed and
endurance, are given 10 to IS grains of
cocaine by the needle under the skin at
the time of starting, or a few momenta
before.
The effects are rery prominent, and a
veritable muscular delirium follows, in
which the horse displays nnusnal speed
and often unexpectedly wins the race.
This agitation continues, and the driver
has difficulty in "slowing down" the
horse after the race is over; not unf re
cently the horse will go half way round
again before he can be stopped. The ex- j
haustion which follows is not marked,
except in the great thirst and loss of ap
petite. Sometimes diarrhea and trem
bling follow. But good grooms Rive nn
nsoal attention to rubbing and bathing
the legs in hot water and stimulants.
The general effect on the hone is de
pression, from which he soon recovers,
but it is found essential to give cocaine
again to make sure of bis speed. The
action of cocaine grows more transient
as the use increases, and when a long
period of scoring follows before the race
begins drivers give a second dose secret
ly while in the saddle. Sometimes the
horse becomes delirious and unmanage
able and leaves the track in a wild
frenzy, often killing the driver, or be
drops dead on the track from cocaine, al
though the cause is unknown to any but
the owner and driver. Some horses have
been given as high as 20 grains at a
time, but this is dangerous and only
given to worn out animals, who may by
this means win a race. It appears that
cocaine is only used in tunning races
and as a temporary stimulant for the
time. It is claimed that the flashing
eyes and trembling excitement of the
horse are strong evidence of the use of
cocaine. Cincinnati Enquirer.
Gniaaa' TUe Climate.
The olimate of Guiana is not by any
means agreeable. Georgetown is within
six degrees of the equator, and the mer
cury generally lingers around 90 and
100 degrees. The land is also low and
marshy in places, so that fevers are
prevalent at all seasons of the year, and
a white man cannot live there unless he
takes extreme precaution to observe
certain essential rules. Negroes, on the
contrary, can live anywhere and break
the health rules laid down for the white
settlers. Yellow fever is an annual
plague in Georgetown, but the negro
population gives little thought to it, and
it is uncommon to hear of one of their
number taking it The coolies, who
compose about one-third the population,
are more susceptible to the poor olimate
than the negroes, but are much hardier
than the whites. The coolies are a
lighter and more slender than the
negroes, but they are industrious and
moderately faithful workers, while the
negroes are lazy and indolent. The real
hard and difficult work in the fields
that requires muscle is performed by the
negroes, but the steady, continuous,
light work is allotted to the coolies.
The two races are naturally hostile,
more so than the Europeans and the na

MAN WITHOUT MERCY.
ratal Oca. W'ejrler, Commander of
the Bpanlah Army in Cuba.
If current reports be true the most
cruel general that old Rome ever pro
duced was a mild, benpfloent sort of
man compared to htm who is terroris
ing the Cubans. Weyler was sent to
end the revolution, and he is trying to
do It in a way which calls to ml ml the
atrocities perpetrated on the people by
Yaimaseda during the ten years' war
In that unfortunate Island. On April
CATTAI.V GKNKHAI.
4, 1859, Valuiaseda Issued a prof la mu
tton In which the following linos oc
curred: "Every man from the age of
15 upward found away from his habita
tion and who does not prove a Justtned
motive therefor will be shot." Weyler's
proclamation Is as foul as was Val
maseda's, and if his outrageous policy
Is pushed very far there afe those high
In the councils of this nation who de
clare that the only end will he war be
tween the 1" tilted States and Spain. It
Is next to impossible to believe that In
this age of the world war should be so
degraded as Weyler has degraded It.
He notified all Cubans to join the Span
ish ranks. He has decreed death for
Cubans sympathizing with the cause of
freedom, and declared trial by court
martial (another name for death) for
those who circulate news favorable to
the revolution and for those who shall
speak adversely of him or of his army.
His commanders have been given pow
er to execute prisoners as they see fit.
He has ordered the country people to
quit their homes and remove to places
designated by him. Indeed, he has
done unspeakable things in Cuba.
General Gomez, on the contrary, has
treated captured Spaniards with every
leniency and has given many prisoners
their freedom unconditionally. It is
possible that Weyler's brutality will
cause a oeversal of this policy and that
General Gomez will take to shooting
Spaniard for Cuban, a reprisal Justifi
able under the circumstances, but te be
deplored beyond expression.

This cat although making its home
among men, is still very shy, rejecting
all friendly advances and being very
apt to bite the band that offers it a
caress. It exists for the most part out
of doors and is almost wholly self-sup
porting. It is a fine hunter, not only
catching rats, but rabbits, bares and
birds as well.
In regard to its being tailless, a
writer states that the peculiarity, In all

probability, originated In some dis
ease of the caudal appendage, resulting
from the dampness of the soil and the
humidity of the climate. The effect
of the disease was the rotting off of
the tall and In time, It is supposed, It
became hereditary.
As to the hind legs of the cat It is
thought they became longer In obedi
ence to the requirements of the crea

approach of danger. Its long hind legs

But that was the last ever seen of
them. They have disappeared entire

THE GIANTS OF OLD.
PREVIOU3 AQE3 SUPPLY US WITH
ENORMOUS FOSSIL BONES.
Usarda Three Time the Sis of the Lar
gess Elephant aail a Tartl Whose Shell
Looked Like a Hut Marine Glaata and
the Remarkable Plated Llaard.
The belief in a race of giants was
onoe almost uuiversal and held until
recent years. Even today large skeletons
when found are sometimes reported as
being those of giant human beings. This
was especially true of the period about
the tenth and eleventh centuries, and
in the latter a most ainaaing discovery
was reported, whioh threw the scien
tific world of the time into great excite
ment It was said that the body of Pal
las, the son of Evauder, had been dis
covered beneath the tomb of the emper
or Henry III. The bonea were enor
mous, and it is unnecessary to state,
proved to have belonged to a huge fossil
elephant As late as the fifteenth cen
tnrv a war of words was waged over a
find of large bones, one party claiming
that they belonged to the giant Teuto
bochus. In ISS7 a giant was discovered
in Switzerland. The oounoil of Lucerne
requested a learned scientific man. Pro
fessor Felix Plater of Basel, to report
upon it and he not only announced the
bones as part of Human giant, out
made a complete restoration, showing
the man 20 feet high, whioh the proud
city adopted as an ancestor in the arms
of the oommonwealtn. xne design ana
some of the bones can still be seen in
the col lea e of Jesuits at Lucerne. Un
fortunately for the theory and much to
the discomfiture of the people who had
raised to a high pinnacle this mighty
anoeator, it was found to be the remains
of an elephant
Nearly all the mastodon finds in this
country were attributed to giants, but
there is no evidence that a human giant
ever existed over 8 feet in height, and it
is extremely doubtful if this height was
ever attained.
Giants other than human are very com
mon in all branches of the animal king
dom giants in every sense when com
pared to their pygmy representatives of
today. Some years ago some luborers in
the Seualik hills of India were engaged
upon a government work when they
came upon the remains of a tnrtle that
proved beyond question (but these ani
mals had their giauta in tlie days of old.
The shell which the men exposed might
have been used as a shelter for several
men, and at first, before its bony nature
was observed, it was thought by the na
tives to be a but of some kind. Fortu
nately the bones were uninjured, and
they were taken ont and removed to the
British museum, where a complete res
toration of the animal may be seen. The
length of the turtle was 10 feet, its
horizontal circumference 35 feet, and its
girth 15 feet, but it was estimated by
scientists that this was not an adult,
and that when fully grown this huge
creature would display a domelike back
8 or 9 feet high, giving a total length of
20 feet.
One of the common animals in equa
torial South America and in Central
America is the lizard, ignana, which at
tains a length of 4 or 5 feet and is con
sidered a large lizard, but it was a pyg
my when compared to an ancestor that
once wandered over England and vari
ous portions of the world. A number of
years ago some workingmen were exca
vating and blasting in a quarry near
Maidstone, England, when some bones
were uncovered that caused profound
astonishment on the part of the finders.
The skeleton was perfect, and as it was
lifted out bone by bone, their amaze
ment increased, and the news was spread
all over the conntry, attracting large
numbers of people. When the bones
were placed 'in their proper position,
they were found to be the skeleton of a
gigantic lizard that when alive most
have been three times as bulky as the
largest living elephant and stood upon
its hind legs like a kangaroo, tearing
down branches from the highest trees.
Such an animal was slow mover and
sluggish and must have fallen an easy
prey to the human hunters, if they ex
isted.
The marine giants were even more
bizarre and remarkable than the land
forma. If we can imagine the little igu
ana lengthened out to 80 feet, its back
spines changed to broad finlike objects,
we form some idea of the appearance of
one of the small dinosaurs, Stegosaurus
nngulatns, one of the most uncanny and
remarkable creatures ever found. It is
called the plated lizard, and the best
skeleton was found on the eastern flank
of the Rocky Mountains. Some of the
'Plates with which this armored lizard
were protected were two or three feet
i in diameter and the spines over two
feet in length. From the faot that the
hind limbs were the largest, it is evi
' dent that this strange creature could lift
itself np and sit like a kangaroo, rest
ing upon its powerful tail, which, with
its enormous spinea, must have been a
. terrible weapon.
A giant from America had a skull
mat measured eigut ieet in lengtn. ai
most over the eyes were two large horns,
.... . J7.
a third placed over the nose. The great
length of the skull was given by a huge
crest that was protected by a ridge of
long plates. The mouth of the tricera
tops was protected by a horny beak. In
life it must have presented a formid
I able appearance, with a body clnmsy
and low like that of a hippopotamus, a
long tail like an alligator's, its head
calling to mind the rhinoceros. This
monster was 25 feot in length and must
save been one of the strangest animals '
of its time. Philadelphia Press.

'Do yon know,'
said a prominent
shipping man, who had been discussing
tbe Ht I'anl disaster witn a party ol
friends, "that it is a rule with the big
transatlantic steamship companies that
the wife of the captain shall not travel (
in his ship? It's a fact. The company
strongly prohibits its captains from tak
ing their wives aboard with them. The
supposition is that if anything should
happen to the ship the captain, instead
of attending to his public duty, would
devote h's attention mainly to the safe
ty of bis wife, bo that if the wife of a
captain wants to go abroad she must take
passage in some other vessel. This rule
also holds in many of the freight lines. "

tome Venerable Theories on ThlalSabJeet
That nave Been EtplV
The effect of expired air aponjuniinal
lite is the subject of an interostfng arti
cle in The Medical Record by Dr.
George F. Shrady, its editor. "We nood
not," says Dr. Blirady, "emphasise the
evil effects of what is usually called 'bad
ventilation. It is perhaps true that
acute diseases are not to be traced to
the same, but it may be safely stated
that there is a distinct deterioration of
vital forces in those who are constantly
subjected to the impure atmosphere of
badly venti luted rooms. The cause of
the aiokouing sensation whioh comes
over us upon entering an atmosphere
contaminated with many breaths or of
the gradual deterioration of the vital
forces whioh follows confinement in such
an atmosphere is not known. For a
number of years prior to 1888 the view
urevailed that the discomfort aud dan
ger to health and lifo in badly ventilat
ed rooms were largely due to orgauio
matters contained in the air expired,
and that the increase in carbonic acid
due to respiration has but little effect in
producing the bad results. Kecentiy,
however, several experimenters have
conoluded that the organic matters in
the exhaled breath are not harmful, at
least to animals."
Referring to tecent experiments on
the subject. Dr. Shradysays: "The re-
salts justify the conclusion that the dis
comfort felt in crowded, ill ventilated
rooms is not due to excessive carbonio
acid or to bacteria or in most oases
to dusts of any kind, but is in reality
due to excessive temperature and un
pleasant odors. Nothing in these ea
periments allows the cause of the un
pleasant, musty odor of an nn ventilated
room, aud attention is called to the
ourions fact that cases of fainting in
crowded rooms usually occur in women
and are connected, the authors think,
with defective respiratory action doe
to tight lacing. Finally these investi
gations, the authors declare, go to prove
that some of the theories upon whioh
modern systems of ventilation are based
are either without foundation or doubt
ful, and that the problem of securing
comfort aud health iu inhabited rooms
requires the consideration of the best
methods of preventing or disposing ot
dust ot various kinds, of regulating
temperature and moisture and of carry
ing off poisonous gaseB derived from
beating and lighting apparatus rather
than of simply diluting the air to a cer
tain standard of proportion of carbonio
acid present"
Got Their Licensee,
There is an ancient law in Rhode Is
land, which, however, is almost forgot
ten, requiring clergymen to take out a
license before officiating at marriages.
The other day Father U'Hare and Mr.
Stewart, the Episcopal rector ot Au
burn, went to the town clerk for this
license. At first the town clerk was
much puzzled what to do, as he had no
proper license blanks, but he finally got i
over the difficulty, aad the clergymen j
departed. After they had got on a street i
car tbey opened their licenses, and each
was horrified to find himself in the pos
session of a full fledged second class
liquor license, with power to run a
liquor shop subject to all the privileges
and penalties of the law. A closer in
spection of the license, however, showed
that the words "second class liquor li
cense," giviug power to sell "malt,
spirituous and intoxicating liquors" at
retail or wholesale, hod had a line
drawn through tbem, and instead ot
the words "to sell malt, spirituous and
intoxicating liquors" were interlined
the words "to perform marriages," and
so forth.
Each clergyman made a wry face as
he contemplated his battered license,
and each silently vowed to exhibit it
only in case of dire peril of a $20 fine.
Bnt both blessed the ingenuity of the
official that could transform a document
which portends so much evil for the
race, according to their views, into an
instrument with power to give such
happiness. New York Tribune.

It was at the Emerald ball, and the
young society reporter sharpened her
wits and her pencils, that full and satis

names and gowns in print, and in the
crowd stood a shopgirl, gowned in
flimsy pink cheesecloth of indescribable

When her turn came for inspection,
it was with a hopeless eye that the re
porter surveyed the toilet The artful

"And yonr name and gown?"
"Miss Matilda Jenkins, attired in

cil refused to add "and diamonds'
until her quick eyes bad discovered on
the girl's collar a tiny rbinestone as big
as a pinhead. Then "and diamonds"
went down in the notebook as proudly
as if announcing tiaras and stomachers
of purest luHter.
The next day all the girls behind a

a well worn newspaper clipping which
read, "Miss Matilda Jenkins, attired in
