TINY MITES AT TABLE.
Midgets who llaiikrupt t'niiit--tlnK K

"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. . Mo r ni iki Journal.
A QUEER PIT IN A PLAIN.
What Pussies the Folk of Ah Fork,
Where Water It Half a Dollar a Barrel.
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,'

KEELY'S NEW DISCOVERY.

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

"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

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."
