THE WHIRLIOIQ OF TIME.

Taka* a Terrible Berenice
Pale with suppressed emotion, the
struggling young village attorney
stood before the haughty heiress,
hat in hand, and ready t o go.
“1 could have borne your refusal,
Verdigris MoSoryell,” he said broken
ly, "although I had hoped for a more
favorable answer. But you have
chosen to accompany it with words
of Bcorn. You have aocused me of
fortuue hunting. You have twitted
me with my poverty, my insignifi
cance and my lack of worldly knowl
edge. I have not deserved this. I
may have been presumptuous, but I
am not the sordid, mercenary,soulless
wretch you have pictured me to bo.
And, mark my words, proud beauty,
the day will oome when your haughty
spirit shall be brought low!”
"What will you do, Mr. Bramble P”
scornfully asked' the young woman.
"Will you sue me for damages?
Will you publish some dismal verses
about me? Or will you orush me by
silent contempt?”
“I shall bide my time! “Heartless
being, farewell!”
Long yean passed away. In a
crowded court room in a large city
the famous case of Kersmith vs.
Jehones was on trial, involving the
possession of millions. Enos A,
Bramble, now one of the most noted
and successful lawyers in his native
state, leaned forward in his chair to
cross-examine a witness.
“Your name, madam,” h« said, “if
I understood you rightly, is Mrs.
BimmP"
“Yes, sir," replied the witness.
“Your familiarity with this case
grows out of the fact that you have
resided all your life in the neighbor
hood of the property in dispute P Is
that correctP”
“Yes, sir."
“It will be necessary, then, to ask
you—but, first, how long have you
been married?”
“I—I was married several years
ago. I am a widow.”
“How long have you been a
widow?"
“O—several years."
“What was your maiden nameP”
“McSorrell. ”
“Full name, please?”
“Verdigris McSorrell.”
* 'Thank you. In order to ascertain
all the facts pertaining to this con
troversy it will be necessary to ask
you one more question, blow, then,
Mrs. Verdigris McSorrell Bimm!”
thundered Lawyer Enos A. Bramble,
rising to his feet, “please tell the
jury your age!”
Made the Briton DUgorge*
Trouble was recently threatened
between the people of Orissa and the
Indian government on account of the
“Poojah stone,” which had rested
for ages over the main entrance to
the temple of the Sun. It was
carved with symbols of the sun and
planet, and thirty years ago fell
from its place in the temple to be
come at once a special object of wor
ship. The governor of Bengal, being
interested in it as an archaeological
treasure, had it removed to the In
dian museum, and this raised such
resentment among the natives that
the stone has been restored to them
and has been raised again to its orig
inal place in the temple.
Old Chu'i Hnd Trank*.
Old chests and trunks have a high
value as curios, and are largely taken
by the dealers in the like. As paper
was costly in the eighteenth century,
many such articles were lined with
newspapers then current, and, if the
pleasantries of the period are to be
trusted, with rejected manuscripts.
A curious old trunk with pentagonal
ends recently turned up in the shop
of a dealer in old. furniture. It still
bore a weather-stained card, showing
that its last delivery had been to
somebody in Pearl street, ft was
lined with a Philadelphia newspaper
of 1773, and the pages exposed bore
the tax list of that year in pounds,
shillings and pence.
Miles of Various Lengths.
English speaking countries have
four different miles, the ordinary
mile of 5,280 feet, and the geograph
ical or nautical mile of 6,085 feet,
yaking a difference of about one
seventh between the two. Then
there is the Scotch mile of 6,928
feet, and the Irish mile of 6,720 feet
In fact, almost every country has its
own standard mile.
An Important Decision.
“George, dear,” said Mrs. George,
“Am I to have a sealskin sacque this
winter?”
“Well, I guess not," said George.
“Do you want to go to prison?”
“Prison!”
“Certainly. Didn't you know that
this BehMng sea decision has made
it a penal offense to buy or sell seal
skins.—Truth.
K»Ih Lake-.
The lakes of Switzerland are great
settling beds of glacier mud. Every
one has a gray river flowing into its
upper end, a blue river leaving it at
the other. Eleven miles of the head
of Lake Geneva have been filled up
with the gray glacier grit of the
Rhone.
Glaa* Making an Ancient Art.
As far as antiquarian research has
been able to determine, glass was
known at least 2,0'J0 years before
Christ The oldest known piece of
glass is a lion head from Egypt, now
in the Slade collection in the British
museum.

Posters took their name* from the
fact that in former times the foot
ways of London streets were sepa
rated from the drives by a lino of
posts, on which advertisements were
displayed.
CHANCES OP QBTTINQ KILLED
I* » Twenty-Four-Mile Railroad Bide
They Are 1 to l,«01.0ia
If a man takes a ride of the aver
age length, which is twenty-four
miles, in a railway train in this coun
try, what is hit ebanoe of getting
killed P asks the Pittsburg Times.
According to the interesting report
of the interstate commerce commis
sion, it is one ohance in 1,491,910
If a young man of 20, jlltod
by his 'sweetheart, should de
termine to commit suicide without
sin by getting accidentally killed in
a railway accident he might do it.
Certainly he might do it. If he were
to get on a train as a passenger and
ride, ride, ride at the rate of thirty
five and one-half miles an hour, day
and night, every hour of the day and
every day in the yea.', if he had aver
age luck he would eventually get sur
cease from fhe gnawing pain at his
heart somewhere in the course of
passing over 35,542,282 miles, ror ac
cording to these official figures, one
passenger is killed for every 35,542,
282 miles that a passenger is carried.
According to the same he would be
injured in some way eight and three
quarters times, or eight times and a
bad scare. It is a little better than
one chance in three that he would
come to an untimely grave in conse
quence of a collision, but if he pre
ferred to have the train run off the
track to kill him he would have only
one chance in nine to be satisfied.
His possible journey would have
taken him around this weary world
and past the place where she went
to housekeeping with the other fel
low 1,421 times, and would have cost
him, at the rate of three cents a
mile and $2.50 a night for a sleeping
berth, $1,087,016.48. In this melan
choly state of mind he wouldn’t oare
how his shoes looked, and the porter
needn’t disturb his grief for a daily
quarter.

For the f scenery of this world be
comes interesting after awhile, even
to one smitten with disappointment
and angry with all creation. There
are many pretty acquaintances to be
picked up in the course of a long
journey, also, and time is a great
healer of love-sickness, even though
a slow one. He would be in his
185th year by the time his desperate
purpose was achieved, and he would
have more sense than he started
with. He would have had leisure to
reflect from time to time on how his
false sweetheart’s false teeth became
her now; how her rheumatism was,
whether gray hair and spectacles
changed her much, and how she
managed with those great-grand
children of hers.
With the bank ol England the de
struction of its notes takes place
about once a week, and at 7 p. m. It
used to be done in the daytime, but
made such a smell that the neighbor
ing stockbrokers petitioned the gov
ernors to do it in the evening. The
notes are previously cancelled by
punching a hole through the amount,
in figures, and tearing off the signa
ture of the chief cashier. The notes
are burned in a closed furuace, and
the only agency employed is shav
ings and bundles of wood. They
used to be burned in a cage, the re
sult of which was that once a week
the city was darkened with burned
fragments of notea For future pur
poses of reference, the notes are left
for five years before being burned.
The number of. notes coming into
the bank of England every day is
about 50,000, and 350,000 are de
stroyed every week or something
like 18,000,000 every year. The
stock of paid notes for five years is
about 77,745,000 in number, and they
fill 13,400 boxes which, if placed
side by side, would reach two and
one-third inilea If the notes were
placed in a pile they would reach to
a height of five and two-thirds miles;
or, if joined end to .end, would form
a ribbon 12,455 miles long.
£ Part of the Kecltak
| Tennyson’s wonderful poem, “The
| Revenge,” was first published in the
j Nineteenth Century in 1878 or 1879.
i On the eve of its publication, Tenny
son invited between thirty and forty
of his most intimate friends to his
house in Eaton Square, in order that
he might recite this patriotic piece
to them. As the poet proceeded in
his rich and sonorous tones, the
favored few hung upon his words.
When he reached the last lines—
“And the whole sea plunged and fell on the
shot shattered navy of Spain.
And the little Revenge herself went down by
the Island crags.
To be lost evermore In the main-"
the feelings of all present were
strung up into excitement and en
thusiasm, when, to the amaze
ment of all, the laureate added, with
out the slightest pause and without
the least change of tone in his voice,
“and the beggars only gave me throo
hundred pounds for it, when it was
worth at least five hundred pounds
or more. -Argonaut
Reformation in Mysore.
The maharajah of Mysore has do- ,
cided, if possible, to put an end to
marriages between children, or
rather infants in his kingdom. He
issued an order recently forbidding
girls under 8 years and boys under
14 to marry. In the future no man
aged 50 or more dare wed a girl
under 14. The edict has aroused

Metallurgy and Manure*.
Metallurgy Is tending to beoome
one of the most efficient producers of
manures in the world. Twenty
years Ago 20,000 tons of phosphoric
aoid were as poison to the 2,000,000
tons of cast iron which England pro
duced, while English ships were
ransacking the most distant regions
of the globe for phosphorio acid for
agriculture. The basic process has
been the end of this anomaly. Ap
paratus attached to the furnaces in
Scotland for the recovery of the
ammonia out of the furnace gases
have furnished a new and important
gouroe of sulphate of ammonia for
agriculture.
Dealer In Secondhand Plate Ola**.
One of the novel business trades of
Boston is that of a dealer in second
hand plate glass. Nearly all of this
glass is bought by the dealer from
insurance companies. The large
plates of this kind of glass are in
sured when put in a window, and
when any of them is broken the
owner of the injured glass usually
prefers that the insurance company
Bhould replace the broken piece
rather than he should be paid its
price. The dealer in the secondhand
glass contrives to utilize what re
mains of the unbroken part of the
glass.
English Orders of Knighthood.
The several orders of knighthood
in Great Britain are thus commonly
designated: Knight of the Garter, K.
G.; Thistle, K. T.; St Patrick, K. P.;
Knight of the Grand Cross of the
Bath, G. C. B.; Knights Commanders,
K. C. B.; Knights Grand Commanders
of the Star of India, G. C. S. I.; St
Michael and St George, G. CL M. G.;
Indian Empire, G. C. I. G.
The street* of Furs.
A woman lately returned from
Brazil tells of the curious nomencla
ture of the streets of Para. They are
biblical or commemorative of some
event in the Brazilian history. It
seemed to her quite irreverent to be
told that a desirable locality was "at
the corner of St John the Baptist
and St John the Evangelist streets.”
The Difference.
“It is interesting to see how differ
ent men make fortunes,” said the
contemplative citizen. “.Now, there’s
Biggins. He got rich out of politics,
while Baggin's got his start from
what he won in a poker game. ”
“Yes,” replied his friend, “Biggins’
fortune was machine made and Bag
gins’ was hand made. ”

WAS in Aprils 1891, that the first number
of the American Review of Reviews was
printed The new idea of giving the best that was in
the other magazines in addition to its own brilliant, orig
inal articles, took America by storm,, as it had taken
England—though the magazine itself was not at alt a
reonnt of the English edition. .It deals most largely with
!
i
i
\
Ament an affairs, and is edited with perfect independence, in its own office.
The Review of Review* is a monthly, timely in illustration and text,
and instantly alive to tire newest movements of the day, to a degree never
before dreamed of.. Thousands of readers who offer their commendations,
among them the greatest names in the world, say that the Review of
Reviews gives them exactly what they should know about politics, litera
ture, economics and social progress The most influential men and women
of all creeds and all parties have agreed that no family can afford to lose its
educational value, while for profes
sional and business men, it is simply'
indispensable The departments are.
conducted by careful specialists, in
stead of mere scissors-wielders, and
scores of immediately interesting por
traits and pictures are in each number.
All this explains why the Review
of Reviews has come to a probably
unprecedented success in the first three
years of its existence. For 1895 it
will be more invaluable than ever.
