Th* DMplMd ud Dboudtd Lawjrar 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.

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. Ana wnen, alter au ms Journeying' to his death, and glowering out of the window at every unsympathetio rock that might have fallen before the engine, and cursing every vagrant browsing cow that might have tres passed on the track and didn’t, he finds at length “the golden key that opens the palace ef eternity,” it is a bigger chance than there are figures for that he will not be ready to ga 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 much opposition in Mysore, but the 1' Tuler is suid to be an energetio man j and capable of executing regulations whioh he is pleased to promulgate* NAMES FOR RACE HORSES. Soma Vary Odd Appellation* That Vwt Given In the L»t Century. Somewhat similar mutt have been the regard in which old world pa trols of the turf held their race hoyies when they could bestow upon them such outlandish names as were In voguo at tho end of the last cen tury, says the London Telegraph. Here, for instance are a few speci mens, and we regret to add that for some of them the Rt. Hon. Charles James Fox, the greatest orator of his day, was solely responsible. Their 'general character may, how ever, be gauged from the following instances, all of them culled from old "Raoing Calendars" published before 1800. The "Mr. Lowther” of that day did not disdain to start a mare named Jack, I’ll Tickle Thee, and was sup ported by a Mr. Read with another oalled Jack, Come Tickle Me.

Such are some few names selected from a long list. 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.

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. ” Different Point* of View.

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. j Agents ire reaping handsome profits. We give liberal commissions. Send for term — - — —1 flab*crlp
