TUESDAY, FBBBTJABT 16. 1893 A Biu. forbidding legislators accepting railway passes has reached third reeding in the Massachusetts house. Thursday of this wetk will be Thomas A. Edison's birthday. He is 45 years old, and, during the past 10 years, has earned the ri(?ht to be spoken of as the brightest light io the electric world. A Chicago cl ryman in said to be preaching practical temperance to tee lumber yard men of that city by Irivins to the yards every day at noon with a wagon containing a cabinet organ and a tank of hot coffee. Music and coffee ire furnished free. This proceeding cuts off a large "can" trade formerly erjoyed by the neighboring saloons. The caves of the world are divided by geologists into five principal classes, viz: 1. The caveru excavated in limestone rock by subterranean streams. 2. The channels and chambers hollowed out by the atcendirg waters of hot spr'mg?. 3. The sea caves and grottoes, worn by the battering of the waves against soft spots in shore cliffs. 4 The cavities formtd beneath streams of lava. 5. Tbe rifts in the rocks which have been rent by the mountainbuilding forces. Chicago Frees: "Senator CuIIom teems very confident of his availability for presidential timber. In a cnnvirsAs tion with the writer of this he not only avowed his candidacy in earnest, but when asked whether, in the contingency that Mr. Blaine reconsidered his decision and entered the presidential list, be would stiil remain a candidate tbe senator re plied, substantially: "I'm in the held to stay. Even if Mr. Blaine should become a candidate I ran see no reason why I should yield to him any more than to any otttr candidate." This is rather bold language to indulge in for a political ob server as shrewd as Senator Cullom is who, if any one, can not fail to appreciate the strength of Mr. Blaine, were he a presidential candidate! A New York World Washington spe cial says: "Postmaster-General V ana mater has pre fited very largely by the rise in Reeding stock since Wednesday. Tbe postmaster general's share in the in creased value of the stock is understood to foot up over $1,000,000. A promi nent gentleman from Philadelphia is quoted as follows: 'The head of the posttflire department is a very lucky man. The net profit on bis interet t this . week is more than f 1,000.000. It is a big sum, but he deserves it, for he held on under very discouraging circum stances. A,l of his troubles a year or so ago were brought about by his heavy interest in Reading. He was in a tigbt place, so tight a place that he would have gone to tbe wall if the Drezels bad not come to his assistance. They helped him to the extent of 500.000 and offered to assist him with as much more if ne cessary but he made out to get along with. Bis fight with Gould bothered him greatly. He has weathered the storm and turned the corner, though, at last. Tc be nearly exact Mr. Wanamaker is about $1,500,000 richer than be was n t long ago.'" Blaine in lor Harrison. St. Louis Republic. It is hardly probable tbat Mr. Blaine wishes to retire from the Harrison cabinet before March 4. 18J3. It is probable tbat be wishes Mr. Harrison to be re nominated. If he disliked Mr. Harrison as heartily as it is supposed in Washing ton that he does, he would not be likely on tbat account to try to defeat bim for renomination means almost certain de feat. But if he did wish to defeat tbe nomin ation, be could do it far more effectively from inside than from outside the cabinet. A word to his Jo Manlejs would be enough to have Harrison tripped up at the critical moment in the convention. All the indications show, first, that Mr. Blaine is in favor of Mr. Harrison's re nomination, and, second, that he believes Mr. Harrison will be defeated when re nominated. In politics the clumsy poli tician tries opeDly and violently to pre vent the man he does not like from get ting the nomination, but politicians of tbe skill and eminence of Mr. BUice of Maine and John H. Pohlman of St. Louis are sometimes known to turn tbe other cheek to the smiter; to return good for evil; to help thess who have humiliated them to get something they want v r badly, so tbat having it they may enjoy the results of it. It is tbe fool's bolt that is soon shot. Mr. Blaine is a very old politician. Woman's Health and Life depend more on regularity than on any or all causes combined. An actual or living death is the result of derangement o: functions which make woman what she is; immediate relief is the only safeguard ayainst wreck and ruin.

"SWING ING" IS THE NATIONAL SPORT OF THE HARDY RACE People of Switserland Take Great Inter est la All Kinds of Outdoor Exercise, How a Great Wrestling Tournament la Conducted In the Open Air. A traveler in Switzerland who does not at once rash up into the high mountains, but lingi rs on a little in the towns, will be struck with the attention which the Swiss give to physical sports. The yoith of the towns, during the good weather, seem to devote every moment of leisure to some form of physical exercise. In the sclools, gymnastics is a recognized part of tl e triiniiiK, both of boys and girls; and in w hutever direction you go in tbe country, you may be sure to find school ex cursions, some of them for long distances. I met one dav at the station at Basel, aooui luirty ooys ana yoiuns, mi ioukiuk , . . , . , , , ,,, use young m meres, u.e very picture m health-dressed in white flannel shirts. knickerb-iekers and loose coats, and all : carrying knapsacks and alpenstocks. One I of their teachers told me that the school j had liiretl a li ouse in the mountains and that duri ig the summer each class went there regularly for a fortnight or three weeks at a time, spending the whole of every day in Alpine exclusions and return ing at night. At all times of the day youths may lie seen in gymnasium dress or turner cos- tumo. Public opinion allows much h-! tude mtl is respect, and a young man m Mict i'nn Iliiu JflM-v, nuu o.o e i , strikes one as nothing extraordinary either iu a crowded street or in the public vehicle. The Swiss are by n.;t lire gregarious and nowhere else ilo clubs and associations thrived) l nu ll as among them. I Kvcry s unmer day in a large town like Zurich se ms a festival, for at almost the first turn of the street you are likely to j hetir the i msic of a band and then meet a procession gay with banners, wreaths aud ; badges. I a .i:kat swiss rpoi:t. The greatest of till Sw iss sports is un-1 doubt ly v restiing. and the wrestling match is tl e central point of interest in all : contests. The mountaineers have prac- ' ticed for as.es a peculiar kind of wrestling known a.- schwingen. or swinging. Of late years this has been taken up by the ' turners ami town gymnasts, and they are liegiiiiiiiig to compete w ith their teachers. ISetwecti the lithe townsman and the solid, heavy mountaineer it has become al- j most a question of agility against strength, j ti'reat was the interest all over Swit.er- ! land when it was announced that there would lie m Zurich a w restling match of all Sw ilerl md lietw ecu turner-and moun taineer, especially as the gjinna-tic so cieties of ea-t Switzerland had not taken part in thes ; matches. ; The groin d for the games could not have been better hoscn. It was the rille range, where there is target practice every Mon- I day a'ternom a broad, screen plain, sur rounded by ".rees, above which rose at one , end the spin's anil towers of Zurich, while ' at the other loomed up the ridge of the I'etliberg. j The thousands of spectators, standing or seated, form d a large oval, in the middle of which, during the wrestling match, was the ring. Around this lay or sat on the ground the combatants and their friends, while at a table were seated the judges , and the umpire. ) Alpine w-estling or swinging differs from other forms of this sport, in the first hold being compulsory and not voluntary. The wrestlers wear short trousers of thick cloth, w hich are survivals of the old motin- ' taineer peasant costume, but which are now put over their other clothes, buttoned tightly iiroiu d the waist and rolled up on the thigh to the utmost. Kuril wrestler must with his right hand take hold of the band of the o her's w resiling trousers and with the lef; hand the roll oil his oppo nent's right 1 'g. This positii n once taken, the choice of hold becomes voluntary, except that either one hand or the other must, if holding at all, grasp the trousers of the opponent. No throw counts unless the fallen uian touches the ground vith lioth shoulders or with the length of his back: and if both parties lire incapable of further movement for a certain uumler of seconds w ithout beiug thrown, it is minted a draw. A CONTEST OF KXI'KUTS. At the open ng of the contests two names are called out, and instant lv a hush of cu riosity and txpectation comes over the great assemblage. On one side rises a lithe, slender built young turner, and on the other a ycuug peasant froui Kmmcii tlial a picture of health and strength, with muscles and sinews like those of an OX. They hastily don their wrestling trou sers, look at each other for a moment, shake hands and take the conventional hold. At first they stund as far apart from each other as they can, with heads down like two butting animals, each feeling, as it were, for some sign of yielding on the part , of the other. Suddenly, with a quick movement, the Emmeuthaler has succeeded iu getting the turner's head under one of his arms. This lasts but for a moment: for the turner sinks first on one knee, then gradually lies at nearly full length on the ground, easily extricating bis head and attempting to pull the Kmmenthaler over, The Emmeuthaler change's his hold, and while still gr;.sping the waistband with one hand, seizes the turner around the body with the other, and endeavors to roll him over. But it is impossible. The tur- ner supports himself ou the ground with his hands and toes and seems immovable. i many me p tasant mis mm oouny iroin the ground nnd tries to throw him. amid the loud cheers of his backers. But no; the turner's bund reaches the ground first, and be simply s-pins round on it like a bal let dancer on one toe. Finally the decisive moment comes, but to the surprise of everyone, for it was diffi cult to see how -he feat was done, it was the Kmmenthaler who was prostrate on j Judge E. I. Bullock during one of the the grass. The two wrestlers shuke hands ( periods of Federal occupation of this see again and go back to their places, tion, and asked a little negro boy who Another pair was called out, and then ijved at the bouse, to which the boy re another, and so ou, with varying fortune, pijed in a matter of course way, "Colonel until the originul contestants began again; Bullock."

SCOTCH IDIOMS. Expressions That Seem Peculiar to One Not Bred on the Heather. Perhaps tbe commonest errors that Scotchmen even well educated Scotch men make are in the use of "shall" and "wilL" Everybody, we suppose, knows the good old story of the Scotchman drown ing in the Thames, who shouts out, "I will be drowned, and nobody shall help me." A well known lady novelist in Scotland Bays that her rule for the use of these aux iliaries is to substitute theone for theoth?r when correcting her proofsheets. Knowing that in tbe heat of composition she la most likely to use the word that nature prompts, which, she lieing Scotch, is nine cases out of ten likely to be wrong, she thinks her plan a capital substitute for instinctive knowledge. Scotch people have some curious expres sions in connection w ith food. Thus they "sup" their broth, and they seak of broth or porridge in the plural, e. g., "I'd like a few broth or "They are too salt." The word "sweet' is applied in ways strange to Knglish usage, as "sweet butter" for fresh butter, "sweet milk" for new milk. A p,.lte iscMM a det,p plate; bmiled Bteak is i,ran,ere(l; tea U "infused " or more commonly "masked;" and the kettle is said "to come to the boil." In phrases such as brnl wml lntt-r lin.-iil im,i , , 1 1 bread and cheese, the order of the words is usually reversed in Scotland, us "milk and bread." Some Scotch idioms which are in daily use are exceedingly absurd. For instance, ine pnrase "tne leiigxn oi, instead of "as f;ir as. U continually used when MH-akiug 0f actual distance. Viscount Melville, who was thorolISh Scotchman, ouee asked plat fi r t Vit 1. ,i n r,f a 1. orse the length of Ilighgate Hill, meaning of course that the animal was to carry hint as far as that locality. Pitt regretted that he had not a horse of the required length, but sent him his longest. It is quite common, too, to hear an anxious mother in Scotland telling her children to "change their feet," instead of their shoes, on a wet day. Besides changing his feet or himself, as the expression is w hen he is thoroughly wet a Scotchman does other equally strange things, or, at nil events, speaks of doing them; such as looking over a win dow, going into a box in search of some thing, sitting into the fire when he is cold, walking through his sleep, sitting under his clergyman when he attends his church or putting his horses iuto his carriage. He has also the unusual power of being able to feel a smell. As if fearful to commit himself to an unwarranted statement, he can only say thai he is "quite better," not that he is quite well. " Holiest like" in Scotland has no moral significance: it is equivalent to good look ing. When you are "failing fast," you are not on the verge of bankruptcy, us would occur to an Knglish ear, but lecoming fee ble in health. When a Scotchman tells you that he did not "mind" what you said he is not guilty of delilicratcly paying no heed to you; his memory only has been at fault. And a Scotch father who '"chal lenges" his son for telling libs does not mean to light him, but merely rebukes him. The weather is as much, perhaps more, a subject of conversation in Scotland us in Kngland. but a Scotchman uses different terms in characterizing it. Thus he speaks of a soft d.iy for a rainy day. blowy for windy weather, a fresh for a thaw. It rain hard in Scotland, not fast, and the weather there is coarse, not rout;h. Lon don Tit Kits.. Lump Jaw Beef. There is a pood di al of lump jaw beef put on the market. The ranchmen do cot sell the arti. le at all, always slaughtering any rattle suffering in this way. Person ally. 1 think the lump jaw meat is un healthy, and at the same time 1 know there is a good le::l of it shipped to all cities. The lump comes from a bruise of some kind, and lue bruise is produced in various ways. It. is the result of the handling by the cowboys. Indeed it is not oidy bruises from w hich the ai.imals on the plains suf fer. They also suffer from loss of horns. 1 have seen a pair of horns fly from a cow a distance of lifty yards. It is easy to knock the horns off. They will fly if you throw any animal down in a peculiar way, and that way is the one iu w hich the cowbovs always do it. Of course it is necessary to throw the cattle down when the branding has to be none, men attunes one runs away anil n,ls to lassoed, and in this way is thrown sometimes with results that spoil the sp pearance of an animal, if it does not per manently injure it. It is easy enough, too. to get rid of the lump, so easy that it can be done by any man who can handle a file. I have seen a farmer cut aw ay the diseased portion of the bone, and from that moment the disease disappeared. Interview in St. I.ouis Globe-Democrat. Little Johnny Tells a Story.
