Duryee, millionaire heir of a K.w Terk starch canuftteturer. still man ages to get considerable enjoyment out of life, though he trot hi neck while driving at Oyster Bay thre years ago. He Is par alysed below the waist, but Is now able to It up and physicians say that there la a prospect of hie yet being able to ' walk, lie recently ordered built for bis own use a bandaome steam yacht. - A story which will "go straight to the heaxU of shooting men Is told of a clerical gentleman who was invited to Join a shoot ing party, la the course of the day the Vast felt himself prodded in the back, and. turning around, found the amiable cleric poking at hits with the munle of his gun, and hi look of interrogation was met with the remark: "Can you tell me bow to let down these beastly things V alluding to the hammers of the gun, which waa at fuU cock and loaded. A lawyer In Canton. O., has brought suit against a local barber for 1200 damages, alleging that his hair waa cut In a moat Inartistic manner In bis shop, making hint an object of ridicule among his brethren at the bar and his acquaintances generally. The lawyer fell asleep la the chair and the baJ work was done while he al umbered. Congressman Brown of Wisconsin last week received la hla mall a human hand, carefully rolled up In cotton and neatly packed. It waa something of a shock when, upon opening the package ta the expecta tion of finding a Christmas present, the A CLEAN UP IN Pictures and Picture Frames Picture Frames Madi lo 4 1 Order in Our Art Dept We have CO, 000 feet of the best picture moulding, in all the latest and up-to-date finishes.

A letter accompanying the package threw light on what promised to be a mystery. An old soldier la Mr. Brown's district wis wounded during the civil war, and a few years ago the amputation of his hand became neces sary. He had carefully preserved it In al cohol, and now has sent it to his congress ma la Washington to be used as -evidence in a pension case. ; A correspondent of the Apache Week's Review, which I published out in Oklahoma, is anzloua about matrimony. She asks: "We wonder why somebody don't get mar ried, t's girls are all ready and waiting, and the holidays are approaching and a few weddings would be In order. We could name quite a number ot nice gentlemen and some handatme young women to whom the county clerk would, for a very small fee, givt- the proper documents to enter Into this blissful state. Let some good brother and sister make the start, nd we venture to aay that they will come as thick and fast as a Dakota snow." The China Times relates an extraordi nary rase of Chinese "Justice." A Mr. Jen was betrothed last year to Miss Han and paid bia money to the woman's parents. A month ago he called on the parents to have the contract fulfilled and was told that the promised one waa the bride of an other. Having paid his money, be con sidered be waa entitled to ths girl and went to her husband's house to carry her off, but she waa not at home. He then laid hla case before the magistrate. The girl waa arrested and sentenced to be "kus-cd," the magistrate arguing: "It you are so wicked at 20 years of age, at the age ot 80 you will be a menace to the celestial empire." The process of kua-lng is very similar to the ling-chin, or sllclng-to-death punishment. William Shipley, a prominent farmer of Waynesrllle, 111., has In his possesion a remarkable relic of prehistoric man, which be dug- up on his farm while plowing re cently. This relic Is a large-alsed spear of pure copper. The metal Is highly tem pered and when suspended by a cord It gives forth a clear, ringing sound when struck by some Instrument. It I said that this science of tempering copper has be come one of the lost arts and proves con clusively that the weapon of warfare waa made by a race of people which roamed this, continent long before the American Indian. It is claimed that the spear found by Mr. Shipley has but on counter part and that exists In an eastern museum. The former is quite slender and, as one end Is tapering. It Is presumed that It va fashioned to nt Into a handle ot wood. The heod of the weapon is three inches broad and, hurled by a man of strength, would make a wound that could hardly help from proving fatal. The finder will probably turn the relic over to the Wesleyan uni versity of Bloomlngton and It will prove a valuable addition to the museum. Editorial Auesltlea. Brooklyn Eagle: The new paragraptnr was anxious to know how his work was "going." "See much of my stuff?" he asked of the exchange editor. "Some," waa the reply. "Want me to cut It out?" The exchange editor knew of the average man's ambition to see his witticisms reprinted with credit. Oh, I wouldn't want to put you to so much trouble," replied the paragrapher, modestly. "And It would delky your other work." "Hardly at all, hardly at all," asserted the exchange editor. ' The paragrapher looked dubious, but It wasn't until the' other men in the room laughed that he threw a paperweight at the excLauge editor.
