THE CORVALLIS GAZETTE, FRIDAY, JAN. 30, 1S91. Highest of ah in Leavening i-owc. CHAPERONS BY THE DAY. Bow the Innocent Country Cnnsin Maj Be Looked Arte.r in New York. Them is a market for almost every thing; iu Xevv York, says the Sun. ant1 the latest article ailvcrtisod for sale it chaperons. They are not exactly foi sale rather to rent or to hire and they can be -obtained for a few hours shopping; or for a trip around tin world. Within sirht of the Grand Centra Depot is a larre sign reading' -Chaperon Bureau," and here the country visitors can find a well-bred, intelligent anc well-looking woman to escort hej through the city and tell her where tc go and where not to go. The idea is not a new one, and chap erons who are ladies of refinement, i1 not of wealth, can be found in almos' all of large continental cities, espec ially in London, where the bureau o' chaperons is enormously successful The head of the new enterpriso is a bright, self-reliant young woman, whc impresses one as knowing more of bus iness and business methods than manj of her sex are supposed to know. She says the new departure has been verj successful. The students from Vassal College are some of its best patrons, and one contract alone calls on them tc eupply guides and chaperons to a partj of 600 men and women who are com ing from the South some time in Junt to visit the local branch of the society of which they are members, "There are a great many women o middle age iu the city," said she, "whc are not able to support themselves by any of the callings open to women, but who know the city thoroughly and whc can take care of themselves and anj one in their charge. There are also e great many single women who come tc New York and who are fearful of go ing around alone, and who would waste a great deal of time if tliey tried it independently which could be saved if they had some one to direct them. "We bring these two classes of peo ple together. We also supply met who are liuguists and who know the city's show places, who can take cart of foreigners unacquainted with the language." She also said that 3-oung men with presentable appearance need not apply for positions as escorts, as i' was against sucli young men that thf ehaperons were intended to serve as an insurmountable barrier. The Ctt of Human Liife. The great monsters of mechanical skill and gen us call for the sacrifice ol a great deal of life and limb iu theii construction. The greater the en gineering feat the more extensive is the loss of life. In the construction of the Eiffel tower, for instance, twenty-sis lives were lost, according to the oliieial returns of the French Government; but it is said that this number would be largely augmented if the names were given of men who died from injuries received during the construction of the tower, aud of others who were killed and whose deaths were not reported owing to the hue and cry which was raised after the lirst two dozen lives had been sacrificed on the great structure. The number of men whc were injured during the construction of the Eiffel tower has been placed al 6,000. This enormous showing is ac counted for by the fact that every in jury was reported aud registered which received treatment from the official surgeons. When a man bruised his linger he went to a government sur geon to have it dressed, and a clumsy workman thus got on the list a dozen or two times a year. Serious injuries were a very small proportion of the whole. Ou the great Forth bridge it) Scotland a list of forty lives lost has been published, but there is no record of injuries. N. Y. Sun. Mrs. Langtry's Business Ability. But by far the ablest woman we have ever seen ia America is Mrs. Lily Lang try. She is the only woman who has ever succeeded iu making every man she dealt with feel his compartive weakness. They all admit that all her managers, her leading men, het agents in her speculations. On Pine street, among the real-estate men, she is looked upon as the ablest speculator, considering her moans, who ever gam bled in New York real estate. Time and again she has carried off bargains that made the shrewdest men even the managers of the Astor estate bite their nails. Theu, see the money she has made by a profession for which she has no talent, and in which she rose by force of will. See how she has hus banded her beauty, working like a nailer with out-of-door exercise, and all the other self-denying means that preserve a woman's beautv. I don't like Mrs. Langtry I'm too old-fashioned and conservative but I can give you the names of the shrewdest men who write plays, or manage theatres, or speculate, that they may confirm the noacmuu luuo sue is uie auie.se woman New York has ever known. Challer. Got the Doses Mixed. The wife of a Philadelphia veterin arian accidentally mixed her own pre scription with one made out by her husband for a horse, and sent the wrong one to the druggist.' She was horrified when she found that the druggist had lent her pills home in a cigar box, and frightened when she found each pill was larger than a plum. . Vegetarian Dinners. At three vegetarian restaurants in Loudon the dinners daily served uj average'1,550. 'J. t. Gov't Report, Aug. 17, Si iMMa las FT The Best Havana Cisar. The leaf of the Vuelta Abajo district is much more valuable than the leaf of the Part id o district, and by experts and connoisseurs the former is without pos sibility of dispute conceded the pain for flavor and aroma; yet fully 70 per cent of the cigars imported into the United States are made of Partido to bacco, and the national taste is un doubtedly for it. This is the more curious, as in buying cigars at retail it simply means that the bulk of our smokers pay the same price for the second grade of Havana tobacco as they would if they bought the first grade, the price of Partido cigars in Cuba being only a little more than half that charged for the same sized cigar from a Vuelta factory. The fineVuelta cigars have a much larger sale in Europe than they have in the United States, and some of the special sizes sent to Russia command a price of $1, 000 per thousand in Havana. These, if shipped to this country, would retail at the fabulous price of $2.25 or $2.50 for each cigar. Among the curious points not generally knowu regarding the Vuelta leaf is the peculiar fact that it is the only tobacco in the world, so far as I know, of which a cigar can be lit, allowed to go out, remain out for sevei-al hours, aud then be relit with 110 perceptible loss of fragrance or added raukness of flavor. It has been repeatedly asserted that this is the case with any tine cigar, but this is an error; neither Partido. Remedios, Yara, Man illa, nor our domestic leaf can be lit a second time without suffering a de crease of quality and an obnoxious increase of flavor, which, to say the least of it, is not pleasant. The reason for this is to be found in the compo sition of the leaf, as a rule, and the Partido a brighter, glossier leaf and more elastic, these qualities making it more attractive-to the eye, and being due to an iucreased proportion of gum- j my matter aud juice. rittsburg Dis patch. A Woman's Pocket-Boole. "I read in to-day's paper that 9 pocket-book had been lWft there by some one who had found, it, and 1 called to ask about it; I have lost mine," said a New York womau in a news paper oliiee the other day. "Yes. ma'am," replied the clerk ir attendance. "Will you please describe the contents of the pock-book you lost?' "Well, now let me see. 1 think 1 can name every thing that was in my purse. There was a dollar bill, twe 10-cent pieces, one or two .nickels, twe or three coppers, some postage stamps, some silk samples, a small sample oi yellow floss, a pearl-handled glove-but toner, a little poem entitled 'Baby's Bath.' a receipt for sweet pickles, a lock of baby's hair, a car ticket, a sample of torchon lace, a memorandum oJ things I wanted to get, a row of pins, a funny little joke cut from a newspa per, a small pearl button, a brass tag, several addresses, a tiny lead pencil, s Canadian dime with a hole in it, a small rubber eraser, a railroad time card, an advertisement of a bargair sale of handkerchiefs, a pressed violet in a bit of tissue paper, a sample oi dress braid, and five or six other little things that I can't Oh, thank you! yes. tiiat's my pocket-book." And the pocket-book he handed hei was just three and a hair inches tong b two wide aim fiatt an inch thick. D., in Fuck. A Virgin Forest. Judge Campbell was one of the most popular men in the house. A more genial and obliging gentleman nevei breathed. He was particularly affable j to new memuers. in me last congress he introduced a "Dew member tc Governor Gear, who represents the old First District of Iowa. The governor,- who is fully as genial as the judge, shook hands with the ac quaintance and said: "Oh, yes, I re member you perfectly. You were s member of the last house." "Oh, no, governor," Judge Camp bell remarked; "he is a new member. You're entirely off. This house is a virgin forest to him." The representative, who overheard the remark, here broke in with the in quiry: "What is a virgin forest!" "A virgin forest," Mr. Campbell re sponded, "a virgin forest is-i-s-ol course any man knows what a virgir forest is " Here he began to move his hands as though working a buzz wheel. "A virgin forest is a place where the hand of man has never put his foot." Kice in Her Ink. A New Haven man, after putting rice into everything he could think of be longing to a bridal party, put some ir the bride's traveliug ink-well. Oi cours ethe rice swelled when thoroughly soaked in the writing fluid, and then the little vessel was forced open and the ink ruined exquisitely embroidered handkerchiefs aud other dainty articles a bride usually carries In her reticule. A Queer Legal Decision. Ehquet is responsible for a queei legal decision. A traveler on a Ger man railway train attempted to eat s lunch, aud while in the act of convey ing food to his mouth the train stopped suddenly and his cheek was badly cul 011 the edge of the knife he was using. The man sued the company for dam ages, but his claim was defeated on the ground that it was a breachof etiquct for him to eat with a knife. The courl recited unto him the chestnut that "A man can not take advantage of hU j own, wr,ong." MEN ARE DWINDLING. By the year 4,000 Humanity Will Pass Oul at the Little End of the Horn. A French statistician who has been studying the military and other records with a view of determining the height of men at different periods has reached some wonderful results, says the Philadelphia Times. A Frenchman is naturally an artist, even in ligures. A German or an American might conteut himself with a dry arithmetical complication.- but this artist carries his statisics int the realm of history and even prophecy He has not only solved some perplexing problems in regard to the past of the human race, but also is euabled to calculate its future and to determine the exact period when man will disappear from the earth. The recorded facts extend over near ly three centuries. It is found that in 1610 the average height of men in Europe was 1,75 meters, or say 5 feet 9 inches. Iu 1790 it was 5 feet 6 inches. In 1820 it was 5 feet 6 inches and a fraction. At the present time it is. 5 feet 3 3-4 inches. ' It is easy to deduce from these ligures a rate of regular and gradual decline in human nature, and then to apply this, working backward and forward", to the past and to the future. By this calculation it is determined that the stature of the first man attained the surprising average of 16 feet 9 inches. Truly there were giants on the earth in those days. The race had already deteriorated in the days of Og, and Goliath was quite a degenerate off spring of the giants. Coming down to the later times we find that the be ginning of our era the average height of man was 9 feet, and in the time ol Charlamagne it was 8 feet 8 inches, a fact quite sufficient to account for the heroic deeds of the paladins. But the most astonishing result ol this scientific study comes from the ap plication of the inexorable law of dim inution to the future. The calcula tion shows that by the year 4.000 A. D., the statue of the average man will be reduced to fifteen inches. At that period there will be only lilliputans on the earth. And the conclusion of the learned statistician is irresistible, that "the end of the world will certainly arrive, for the iuhabitantants will have become so small that they will finally disappear" "finish by disappearing,'' as the Franca idiom expresses it "from the terrestrial globe." A Hindoo Trick! Kellar the magician, saw a trick at Calcutta which, he confesses baffled him. He was in a long, vacant room with four friends, aud they were al lowed to examine it thoroughly. There were four fakirs present. The party took seats on a bench midway of the room. The fakirs lighted a censor, from which exuded a sickly, sweetish smoke, filling the entire room. The fakirs then began a wild, whirling dance, all the while chanting and beat ing torn - toms, when suddenly the dancers appeared to increase in num ber until a full dozen were dancing and whirling about. These then decreased until but one dancer remained, an old man with flowing beard. What be came of the other dancers Kellar can not tell, though he tried, by anothei search of the room to discover the se cret. Visitor "I don't see anything re markable about this girl. She seems to me to be just an ordinary unedu cated womau.'" Manager "Yes, that's so; but she is the woman who bosses the eight-foot giant." Terre Haute Express. He "Here are your caramels, and now I suppose I will take those kijses vou promised me." She "Did I prom ise you any kisses?" He "Of course you did, darling great Scott, I've got you mixed up with my other girl." Terre Haute Express. Visitor "I notice that you confine yourself to foretelling the future, and do not reveal the past." Clairvoyant "Yes, it is so much easier. Some body is sure to know all about the past, and they know aslitte about- the future as I do." Lowell Mail. Auctioneer Muller (at the dinner given in honor of his daughter's be trothal) "Gentleman and ladies, I have to announce to you that my daughter Elise has been to-day be trothed to Mr. Angler for the first, for the second, for the third and last time." Flieyende Blatter. Mr. Scales "You say you are going to leave the grocery business Jbeeau.se you are tired of hearing men complain about htigh prices and growl about the expense of living; but where can you go that you will not hear such com plaints?" Clerk "I'm going to get a job as bartender." N. Y. Weekly. Mrs. Harbinger "And how are you succeeding on the stage. Miss Foot lights?" Miss Footlights "O, I have just made a great hit?' Mrs. Harbin ger "ludee! In what play?'' Miss Footlights -O, I mean a real"hit. I have received a package of Jones' soap with a request for an autograph." -Boston Post. "First Tramp "I don't see whv our names don't get inter the papers, Bill." Second Tramn "Why should they?" First Tramp-f-"Well, I read to-day that a dinner' was given to some big gun in New York a day or two ago. We get dinners given to us every day and nothing is ever said about it. Folks- is prejudiced, Bill." Munsey'a Weekly. Yabsley "I believe you told me you took your wedding trip through the Yosemite Valley. You must have seen a great many views worthy of admira tion." Wickwire "M-m, I don't know. You see my wife was developing so many views on domestic authority about then that I did not have time to study any other kind." Terre Haute Express. The farmer now doth gird his loins and rise at half-past 3, and stroll about as happy as a mortal well could be. Talk to him now of bunko-steers, of three-card-monte men. He'll smile and say he "doesn't care a derm fer aich ez' them." Small fear has he for sharps just now. . Another thing's in order. He's getting all in readiness to skin the summer boarder.
