English Jurists are noted f'?r their
longevity. There are sixteen judges
now on the bench whose aggregate age
ia 1.127 yean. I.ord Esher is ho. l'.ar

The rates at the hotels uf-Atlanta,
Oa., to-day are i:ot exorbitant, but prior
to 1851 they were only $12 per month.
In that year one hotelkeejier advanced
his price to $15, and many of his lioard
ers left rather than submit to the "ex
tortion." The Sultan of Morocco is about to
take for his second wife the daughter
of one of his most powerful vassals.
The people of Morocco are much dis

obliged to send a wedding present to
the mouarch.
Germany Is forging ahead In an alto
gether phenomenal manner with her
mercantile marine. In 1871 it con
sisted of 147 steamships, with a total
tonnage of 82,000, whereas last year
the government returns showed a total
of some 1.200 steamers, with a tonnage
of over 1,000,000.
Mr. F. C. Selous. the famous African
hunter of England, confesses to have
Hlaln twenty-five lions with his own un
aided hand, and to have assisted in the
slaughter of eleven others. He has
also knocked over a few elephants,
which is exciting work, but not so
much so as hunting the king of bead's.
Paper is now being used for under
ground gas-piies in F.ngland. The ma

resisting heavy pressure, not subject to
the ordinary causes of deterioration,
and not affected by the action of elec

Maguire Hlnes, railroad builder, has
Just returned from a visit to England.
He went there to raise three millions of
dollars for a new line in the South.
"The people I met believe that the late
war over there was between North
and South America," he said, recently,
"and their notion about Venezuela Is
that the Confederacy has started the

Russia's big cruiser Rossia, the larg
est ship in the navy, which ran aground
last November while being taken from
the shipyard to Cronstadt after it bad
been launched, has just been floated. It
was expected thathe vessel would
have to remain In Its position till the
Ice broke up in the spring, but a pas
sage was opened for It by steam ice
breakers. It took fifty-one days, work
ing continuously day and night, to get
the ship afloat again.
The agitation recently In progress In
France in favor of the libera tin of tne
Pole Berczowski, who in 18i7 was sen
tenced to life imprisonment for shoot
ing at the Czar in the Bols de Bou
logne at Paris, has led to the discovery
that the man, who has been languish
ing for just thirty years in the penal
colony of New Caledonia, has now be
come Insane, and that his release there

to him.
From Guthrie, Okie., comes the tid
ings that the mlsmared ones from the
East who went there to obtain divorce
went away, In many cases, without
paying the costs, a fact which the
court officials declare nullifies the de
cree. It is now proposed to cancel such
decrees the costs of which were not
paid. Considering the charges of Okla
homa, hotels and divorce lawyers it is
little Wbnder the divorced ones Jumped
the costs oT the suits.
There Is at least one person In Bos

One of the finest bouse In Soutiieru

Dorothea Sydney who wc the most

and, reminding him sentimentally of
the old days at Penhurst, asked him
When he would again write verses
About her. "When, msda me," said the

Everyone knows that there is an af
finity between actresses ami million
aires or the sons of millionaires, but
probably tl e I est it g'snce of It is found
in the Could family. George, the eld

stage. Then Anna, a daughter, lie
came engaged to an actor, but threw
hi tn over for a French count, and now
comes Howard, another son, who, it Is
said, has either secretly married or is
engaged to marry an actress. There is
another daughter, Helen, but she Is
engaged only in charities, and a son,
Edwin, but the only matches he is con

There is no fashionable cane at the
present day. A few years ago every
other man on the street carried a cant-.
As n general thing it had a more or
iess elaborate silver head. The de- i
maud for these articles was great,
and to meet it the manufacturers turn
ed out cheap plated-sllver heads In all
the stjles of the genuine article. Then '
came the affectation of slim bamlwo
crooks that could tie had for a dollar. ;
They were light and unassuming, and j
were very popular. These are out of ,
date now, and the canemukers say
that there is no standard design for j
walking sticks. The reason Is that
they are out of fashion. Business- '
men have seen tlie folly of lugging a !
able circles It has been decided that it
Is a lack of courtesy to carry a cn
when one goes to call. In fact, the
cane is relegated to walking expedi
tions. The newspapers of New York have
been indulging In ponderous Jests over
the domestic infelicities that have come
to the surface lu certain other cities,
and having bei-ome so artful lu exploit
ing this vein of humor they ore furnish
ed now happily with a broader field for
Its exercise. The fact has Just come to
light that "by actual count there are
15,000 husbands within the limits of
New York now under txmds to support
their wives. These deserted wives,
pinched with want, besiege the city
courts and block the machinery of the
law wirb their clamors for redn."
The quotation Is made from a New
York newspaper. This is a condition
that presents practically boundless pos
sibilities for the humor of any one who
can see anything funny In It. New
York newspapers need nat go afield any
longer for food for merriment. These
15,000 "deserted wives pinched with
want" dwarf the pretensions of any
other community in the same Una.
Evangelist Mcdy seems to have al
lowed himself to drift into the sensa
tional methods of Sam Jones during his
revival work in Boston, and has re
ceived a very sharp rebuke from the
Rev. Dr. Lorimer, a popular minister of
that city. Mr. Moody has repeatedly
asserted In bis public addresses that
there are men In Boston "who occupy
leading places in the membership of
wealthy churches, and pay their big
pew rentals and get the money for
generous and various benevolent con
tributions to send the gospel to the
heathen, and to carry on other church
work, by letting bulldlags for Immoral
purpose." Dr. Lorimerreklfa upon him
either to name these wafted sepulehers
or to keep silence, at The same time ex
pressing the belief that be has no ac
tual knowledge on the subject to dis
close, and is, Indulging In the stock In
trade of cheap sensationalists, which
he should be aliove using. It Is rathe'
remarkable that evangelists, great or
small, should ever allow themselves to
no traduce the church which they are
constantly urging people to enter. It
does not recommend the church to sin
ners to be told, on at least semi-official
authority, that it contains rascals of
high degree. No doubt every religious
organization contain some hypocrites,
some wolves In sheep's clothing, but
theae persona do fnt give character to
the church. They are In tlu? minority,
and they keep their evil doing hidden
as far as possible. It Is cheap criticism
of the church to charge It with harbor
ing sinners when to harbor them rtnd
help them to better way is tta only mis
sion. Mr. Moody hurts rather than
help bis cane by such preaching.

I.ixt spring I planted a slxteen-acre

when I went out to see if the squirrel

saw a little ground squirrel runuiug

himself. I thought It was my chance.
I shot him. but before he died he threw
eventhing out of his bowel which
he had secured for his breakfast, and
much to my surprise 1 failed to find
any com but numerous worms. 1"hiu

mostly cutworms. I have not killed
any ground squirrels siuce. And I.
therefore, think that the squirrel is
the farmer's friend.

Some farmers have learned that ears
of corn merely broken from the stalk
and uiihuskcd are eaten by cattle with
less likelihood of injury than if com U
husked and fed on the ear, the usual
way. The husk makes a porous addi
tion to the ration and prevents the
grain from fermenting. But when corn
Is snapped from the stalk, there is a
bard, rough stub at the butt of the
ear that has little nutrition, and may
very easily be Injurious. If the stock
Is valuable. It will pay for the extra
cost of husking ami grinding the corn.
In the greater amount of nutrition the
animals will get from their food.

Tare of the Hair.
To assume a new coiffure in these

that the Inevitable "part" Is bidding
farewell one ventures to ak, "What
next?" for there seem no really new

ion. For evening wear a pivtty style, and
one which may le adopted by young
and old, ls that of drawing the li&lr
high on the head and arranging In soft
puffs, the front to lie slightly waved a
la pompadour, though showing a slight
part. Iu each side of the hair use one
of the new poiiiidour combs, pushing
the teeth toward the face. This will so
catch the hair as to make a small puff
behind the ear, which lends charm to a
thin face. In using a curling Iron care
should le taken that no Blgns of lu use
should lie noticeable. For waves It Is
far better to braid the hair over night
In tight and moistened plaits, allowing
the hair at the same time to grow, for
nature demands the freedom from hair
pins at time to relieve the root of the
hair from an all day task of being twist
ed and pinned to suit the tswsessor'g
taste. The fashion now demands that
side comb and elalsirate pins shall 1m?
