TINY MITES AT TABLE. Midgets who llaiikrupt t'niiit--tlnK K tnurunt- "Po you know," aid a professor of a dime museum, "that Baron Ma-jri, the brother of Count Magri, who wedded Mrs. General Tom Thumb, is also mar ried? The baron is quite as tall as the count, but his wife, a very attractive lady, is six feet one inch high. He has live children who all take after their mother, for some of them are twice as big as he is. " His eldest son, a lad of eleven years, used to jokingly pretend that he was his father's grandfather. He was so much bigger than his father that the latter was unable to correct him for his mis chievous pranks, and had to send him home to Italy to be spanked. "It would amaze you to know how bright and intelligent these miniature people are. Countess Magri is compe tent to be a professor at Vassar Collece." and I warrant you that she could hold ner own wun Misan a. Anthony and Lillie Devereaux Blake in a debate at woman-suffrage convention. All the miniature people are very sensitive about being thought small. For in stance. General Mite feels as tall as a grenadier in the Queen's Guard, and some of the little ladies pride themselves on being slender ana willowy like Ken tucky girls. "All little people are very dignified, and are much hurt at being compared with children and babies. Lucia Zarate. a Mexican miniature woman, becomes quite angry when she is likened to a baby. She is twenty-one years old, a loot ana two inches nigh, nnu weighs only four pounds and a half, bring less than hall the size and weight of a baby, "It is wonderful what good appetites the miniature people have. Tom Thumb ate more than Chang, the Chin&ie giant Any of the little folk will eat as mucb dinner as a man six feet high. Giants, as a rulo, have small appetites. When we boarded Chang at one of the large hotels here they thought he would eat a great deal, and so they charged mm as much as n he were three men Instead of going through the bill of fare from beginning to end and then repeat ing, he ate no more than the average boarder. 'Hungry Joe' could eat more at a cold lunch than Chang could m a whole week. It took three beds, how ever, to make one bed for him to sleep in, ana so we aid not complain at pav ing nine dollars a day for his board. "1 knew a very grotesque-looking bourn American dwart, who used to be exhibited as a wild man without lan-, gunge who fed on raw meat, and who, was lncapamo ot understanding evert signs. AV ell, after the exhibition was through every night that dwarf used to go over to a restaurant and order all the French dishes on the bill of fare, read a Spanish newspaper, talk French to the waiters, and ask questions of Americans in fluent English. Ho had an enormous appetite. He didn't weigh much, but he ate like an elephant, lie used to polish oil' three apple-dumplings for desert. "Some of the miniature men have been jolly good fellows. 1 have known some of thorn who could have put a whole company under the table drink ing beer. They have a tolerably easy life of it. A very small dwarf will get $500 a week, or twice as much as a leading man at a New York theater. I have known $800 to be paid for one week's engagement to a phenomenally small dwarf. Of course the dwarf who gets $100 a day may draw $i00 a day to the museum. "Miniature folk sleep about like other people. Some, however, go to bed with the owl and get up with the lark, and are always spry and lively. I find most all miniature people intelligent, genial, and good-natured, pleasant people to know. Ar. .

In some sections of the northern por tion of Arizona the question of water supply, even for domestic purposes, is a very serious one. This is particularly the case at Ash Fork, a station on the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad. A scries of very lovely and fertile valleys sur round the place, and plenty of grass grows for the support of large herds of cattle, but no water can be had ex cept from an occasional "tank" during the winter season. At Ash Fork the railroad company attempted to sink an artesian well, but after reaching a depth of nine hundred feet the drill became fastened and could not be removed. Many futile attempts were made to ex tract it, but at last it was abandoned in despair. All water now used at that station and by the residents of the town is brought by rail from Peach Springs, sixty-live miles to the westward, and is sold at fifty cents per barrel. A short time ago a prospector, stimtii lated by the inquiry for water, reported that he had discovered a huge well, about eight miles from Ash Fork, sunk in a level plain. Parties at once repaired thither with ropes and other parapher nalia to explore the wondrous discov ery. They found the locality, but to this day they do not know the exact nature of the curious cavern that met their gaze. It is located on a level plain and can not be seen until it is ap proached very near. There is no evi dence of earth or rock having been re moved from the pit, which was found to be 150 feet in diameter ami 320 feet deep, with perpendicular walls. No one in the party was brave enough to de scend and explore the "well" when the rope had been lowered, and the ex plorers returned to Ash Fork scarcely wiser than they were before their trip. It is certainly a great curiosity, and there possibly exists a supply of water somewhere in its depths or in the nu merous caverns or tunnels that appar ently emerge into the dark earth below from this curious threshold of sunlight,' Tucson (Art.) Citizen. That pegged shoes and boot are still quite extensively used milit be in-' ferred from the fact that a peg-manufacturing company at Bartlett, K. II., is turning out the little wooden articles at the rate of 1,800 bnshels a day. and has' orders on band that will require several months o fill. KEELY'S NEW DISCOVERY. JVrfeetljr Suti.llect Ti,t ll Has Finally round tli ICIglit Thing. John W. Keely. v illi his side-whisker closely clipped, his face not so rotund as usual, and weighing e!ghteenpoundt less than he did six mouths ago, sal down "yesterday to tell a Itvvrd re porter of his latest discovery. As he re lated the story the diseove'n-r'a eye sparkled mid a beam of satisfaction spread over his face when he remarked "I have at last attained the work of my life. 1 have discovered the power which for years I sought, and I feel per fectly satisfied now that my discoverie and inventions can go forth to the world. For six months I have worked fourteen and eighteen hours a day. The world saw little of me, because I wac locked in my workshop. My new en gine is operated upon an entirely differ ent system from anything I ever used before. It will be known as the rotary etherio engine. The power is ob tained from inter-atomic air, or rather luminiferous ether in fact I have half a do.en terms to apply to it This new power is under complete control, and is greater in vol ume by live or six times than gun powder. Indeed, by multiplied con centration I can make it iifteon times greater. In a recent experiment I ob tained 22,800 pounds of pressure to the square inch in eight seconds. No water is used in this engine or to secure this power, air alone being the agent The introductory receptacle, which holds one half pint of air, required sixty pounds ot steel in its construction. J expect (but can not state for a cer tainty) to give nu exhibition in three weeks. This will depend entirely upon the machinists. If they disappoint me X can not tell when it will happen. iSext month l will have a perfect en gine completed. It will not weigh more than three tons, and will be equal to 600-horso power. The apparatus .vliich is used iu connection with the engine is named the -liberator.' " "How about tho Keely Motor Coin pany?" "it has no interest in the new engine and discovery. A company is to be formed, but I should hardly give the particulars. It will have a capital of $12,000,000, and it is likely that the shares ot the Keely Motor Company will be exchanged lor one ol the new. I will have the controlling interest. The Keely Motor Company has not paid me a penny for two years, and all these dis coveries and inventions have been paid for out of my own pocket To return again to the original subject, 1 believe that live liberators and engines can sup ply all the power needed in this city. The power can be stored in tubes and transported anywhere. Iu about six months, or sooner if possible, I will take out the patents in this country, and then I shall go to Kurope, where 1 desire to exhibit my vibratory lift, tho sympa thetic lift and several other inventions which the public do not know of.

"You talk about dogs," said the Judge, "you talk about dogs I can ten vou the iu tiniest story about a dog." "Did vou know the dog?" said the doctor. "I did." "Was it a terrier, or a pointer, or a bull-dog?" "It was a Dandie Dinmont" "Good," said the doctor; "they're a very truthful breed." "Ihs dog belonged to a Inend of mine who used always to take him out with him." "A bad habit," put in the doctor; "you should never let a dog know too much." "The dog used to wait outs'de for him when he went in location a friend. One night they were a very merry party and they kept it up late. My rieml got very drunk, lhe dog finally got restless and began to howl. A chaniDague bottle just passed his nose and lie smelt it and shut up. About two o'clock in the morning my friend came out He said good-night, shut the door, walked in by the garden gate all over the (lower-beds, and finally, unable to get out, he lay down on a rose-hnsli and went to sI-h-ii. Tho dog watched by him till the milkman came along in the morning, picked him up and took him home." "That's nothing," sajd the doctor. "You just wait a minute. Two or three nights later he went and called on his friend again and took the dog with him. The dog waited outside a little while and began to howl. Another champagne lottle was thrown .tt him. He smelt it, winked to himself, and trotted oil'. He went home, scratched at the door till the servant girl opened it, attracted my friend s wife's atten tion, iuade iter follow him to a pile ol plauks, and whined till they got out a a very long and broad one. Then he directed tliciu to where his master was, and when the door-bell rang and the door oj eaed the revelers found the dog, my friend's wfe, tin; servant, and a stretcher. 1 hat dog knew what was needed, you bet'' ban Francisco Chronicle. Zcbebr i'aha, who has been ' ar rested by the English Government for collusion with hi Alahdi, is believed to have retained and safely invested sev eral million dollars of the immense wealth he possessed in the davs of his power at Khartoum. A year ago he spurned contemptuously Gordon's imposition to make him Assistant Governor of the Soudan, prophesied Gordon's destruction and the fall of Khartoum, and added, "Sooner or iter I shall return to the Soudan. Allah is great!" He was then living in Cairo with a thousand Nubian retain ers about him. SO YOU MEAN BUSINESS t Well, if you have strength to push your business, it is well. But many a man's business has broken down because the man was broken down, and had no push In him. If you want to mak a success, build up your system by the use of Brown's Iroa Bitters. Mr. W. M.

A reporter of one of our Philadelphia dailies spent a morning with Judge Kel ley at his home In that city. The Jurfge gave the history of his Illness and recov ery, substantially as follows : I had, as a harvditary victim to catarrh, uttered for years. 1 was subject to vio lent paroxysms of coughing. Straining for relief had produced abrasion of the membranes and daily effusion of blood from my throat For four years I passed a portion of each Congressional vacation in the Itocky Mountains or on the Pacific coast But my breathing power continued to diminish, until tn toe early summer of 187U it was a little more than a panting for breath. About two years before this my attention had been called to Compound Oxygen. A friend who had great faith in its efllcacT advised me to try it. On reading Dr. Starkey'a adver tisement I threw the little book aside, and declined to resort to the Treatment, on the ground that it proposed t cure every thing, and was consequently without adaptation to any particular disease. I grew worse, and in the summer my breathing was so short that a cough, a sneeze, or a sigh, produced such acute pain at the base of the left lung that I felt it neceMary to clone up my affairs, as T .1:1 i i .).. r u V. .... 4 uttt tkji veiinx A cvmic mac jvr auify days. Nor do I now believe I would have lasted for that time had I not found a potent curative agent "I had lost none of my prejudices against Compound Oxygen, but in very desperation, seeing that it could not make me any worse than J was, and as medical treatment had utterly failed to meet my case, I concluded to try it. After a thor ough examination, Dr. Starkey, to whom I was then a stranger, said : ' Sir, I have no medicine for either form of your dls- easo (alluding to the catarrh and the bleeding at the throat), but If you will give me time, I ean cure yen.' My re sponse was a natural one. 'You are frank In saying you have no medicine for either form of my disease, and yet you propose to cure me. By what agency will you work this miraclef 'The Oxygen Gas,' said he, 'is not a medicine. Unas none of the characteristics of medicine compounded of drugs. These create a requirement for continual increase f quantity to be taken; and, if long per sisted in, produce some form ot disease. But Compound Oxygen produces no appe tite for itself. It passes by Inhalation, into the blood, and purines and invig orates it. The system is thus enabled to throw eff effete matter. You will find by experience, if you try the Treatment, that it will not increase the rapidity of your pulse, though the beating will be stronger under its influence." "This explanation removed my objec tions, and I could see how such an agent could operate beneficially in cases of a widely different character. " Dr. Starkey said that the cells of my left lung were congested with catarrhal mucus, and that he believed the gas would at once address itself to the re moval of the deposits and the restoration of my full breathing power. " I began using the Treatment, and at the end of three weeks teas able to report an improved appetite, and the ability to sleep several consecutive hours, with a measurable relief of the pain In the lung. "Notwithstanding the intense heat, I remained in Philadelphia during the sum mer. Before Congress assembled in De cember, my lung had been relieved of much of Us nauseous deposit, and I was able to breathe tcithout pain. "I am now more than ten years older thanl teas when I first tested Compound Oxygen. I have had no perceptible effu sion of blood for more than six years. I breathe as deeply as I did at any period of my young manhood, and my natural carriage is so erect as to elicit frequent comment. "You ask if I still continue the Treat ment. Whenever 1 feel a fresh cold, or suffer from the nervous exhaustion which follows excessive labor, 1 resort to Com pound Oxygen. I have the highest confi dence not only in the Treatment iUelf, but in Drs. Starkev & Palen as gentlemen of skill and integrity."
