The Apple i'm the Bottle.

On the mantelpiece of my grand
mothers best parlor, among other mar
wells, was an apple in vial. 1t quite
filled up the bottle. Childish wonder
ment constantly was, How could it
have got there?" By stealth / climbed
a chair to see if the bottle would un-
screw, or if there had been joint in the
glass throughout the length of the
vial. was satisfied by careful OBJ
servation that neither of these theories
could be supported; and the apple re-
NAMED to me an enigma and a mys-
terry.
One day, walking in a garden, 1 saw
it all. There, on tree, was vial
tied, and within it a tiny apple, which
was growing within the crystal. The
apple was put into the bottle while it
was little, and it grew there.
More than thirty years ago we tried
this experiment with a cucumber. We
laid bottle upon the ground by hill
of cucumbers, and placed tiny cucum-
Der in the bottle to see what would be
the result. 1t grew till it filed the bottle,
when we cut it off from the stem, and
then filled the bottle with alcohol and
corked it up tight We have it now, all
as fresh, with the little prickers on it,
as it was when first corked up.-Er-

The idea What would the folks
over the way think, to see the "profes
sor" walking out with a big turkey under
his arm? That was the way the thing
presented itself to the good-natured col.
lege student acting as private tutor in
the family. But Mrs. Simpson. the
portly and practiced housewife, had nc
such idea of the fitness of things.
1t was the day before Christmas, and
the farmer who had agreed to supply
her with q turkey had brought it, but
had not weighed it, and, of course, they
could not agree on it's weight, all of
which ended in the startling proposition
with which we begin.

weighing the. turkey at home.
hung the broom handle to the gas
Jet by wire loop, and slid it along in
the loop until it balanced. BY this
time all were curious to see what was
about.
1 then fixed wire to the turkeys
feet, and hooked it so that it would
slide on the broom-handle. Next L got
a fiat-iron and fixed it in the same way.
When the broom was nicely balanced, L
hung the turkey on the broom end of
the stick, two inches from the balancing
loop. Then hung the fa.-iron on the
other side, and showed it along until it
balanced the turkey. Next 1 measured
the distance of the turkey and fiat-iron
from the balancing loop, and found that
the turkey hung two inches and the
fat-iron eight inches from the balancing
hoop. That was all. / had found the
weight of the turkey, and told them:
Twenty-four pounds.

all that tomfoolery? 1t doesn't weigh

I'm blamed if he hasn't hit it about

the turkey "How did you find out?'
well, You see," said /, "the fat-iron
has figure on it; that shows that it
weighs six pounds. Now, if the turkey
had not weighed more than the flat-iron
they would have balanced each other at

SO / had to move the fat-iron out fur

loop as the turkey two inches), the
hat-iron pulled six pounds weight, and
at every addition of that distance il
would pull six pounds more. Thus: At
four inches it pulled twelve pounds: at
six inches, eighteen pounds; and at
eight inches, twenty-four pounds. At
that distance it just balanced the turkey,
thus proving that it weighed"

Some blundesarise from misapprehen-
sion. A Bishop of Oxford sent round to
the church.wardens In his diocese acircu-
lar of inquiries, including the question,
"Does your officiating clergyman preach
the gospel, and is his conversation and
carriage consistent herewith" The
church-warden of Wallingford replied :
He breaches the gospel, but does not
keep carriage
A doctor who had one day allowed
himself to drink too much was sent for
to see fashionable lady who was ailing.
He sat down by the bedside, took out
his watch. and began to count her pulse
as well as his obfuscated condition
would permit. Accounted: "One, two,
three, four" Still confused, he began
again: zone, two No; he could not
do it, Thoroughly ashamed of himself,
he shut up his watch, muttering, "Tipsy
L decare-tipsyl" Staggering to his
feet, he told the lady to keep her bed,
and take some hot lemonade to throw
her into perspiration, and he would
see her next day. In the morning he
received the following note from the
lady, marked Private:
"DEAR DoCToR-You were right. L
dare not deny it, But am thoroughly
ashamed of myself, and will be more
careful for the future. Please accept

a word about the state in which you
found me-"
The lady, in fact, had herself been
too much, and, catching the
doctors murmuring words, thought
they referred to her. He was too far
gone to see what was the matter with
his patient, and she too far to observe
that the doctor was in the same con-
dition.

It Always Works.

People who ride on the Woodward
avenue route have often noticed that
when n certain tall, solemn-looking man,
aged about 80, boards full car, he al
ways holds q whispered conversation
with some man, who at once gives him
a seat and retires to the platform. The
tall man never has to stand and hang to
the strap, simply because he Under
stands human nature. CHANGING around
the car he selects his victim, bends
down and confidentially whispers:
Make no move to attract attention.
and listen carefully to what say. You
have an ink-stain on your nose and
your necktie is unfastened. Step out
on the platform a moment and brush
up!"
The victim steps out there every
time, and, after he has wiped away at
his nose and pulled away at his tie he
looks into the car to see the tall man
enjoying the vacated seat with the
greatest comfort. Life is full of these
receptions, and yet innocent people are
powerless to meet them.-Detroit Free

Ancient Fever Epidemics.

The lessons of the last epidemic find
numerous precedents in the history OF
former times. The black-death that
ravaged Asia and Southern Europe in
the fourteenth century spared the Mo-
hammedan countries-Pe Persia, Turks
tan, Morocco and Southern Spain
whose inhabitants generally abstained
from pork and Intoxicating drinks. In
the Byzantine empire, Russia, Germany,
France, Northern Spain inhabited by
the Christian Visigoths), and Italy,
100000 died between 1873 and 1875,
but the monasteries of the stricter or
ders and the frugal peasants of Calabria
and Sicily enjoyed their usual health
(which they, of course, asclibed to the
favor of their tutelar saints; but among
the cities which suffered most were Bar
celona, Lyons, Florence and Moscow,
the first three situated on the rocky
mountain-slopes, with no lack of drain
age and pure water, while the steppes
of the Upper Volga are generally dry
and salubrious.
The pestilence of 1920 swept away
$4,000, or more than two-thirds of the
$4,000 inhabitants of Marseilles, in less
than five weeks; but of the 5000 alb
stemious Spaniards that inhabited the
Suburb of the Galatians" only 200 died,
or less than per cent. The most de-
structive epidemic recorded in anthem
tic history was the four-years' plague
that commenced in A. ID. $40 and ragged
through the dominions of Chosroes the
Great, the Byzantine empire, Northern
Africa and Southwestern Europe. 1t
commenced in Egypt, spread to the east
over Syria, Persia and the Indies, and
penetrated to the west along the coast
of Africa and over the continent of Eu-
rope. Asia Minor, with its plethoric
cities, Constantinople, Northern Italy
and France suffered fearfully; entire
provinces were abandoned, cities died
out and remained vacant for many
years, and during three months 5000,
and at last 10000, persons died at Con-
stantinople each day! Gibbons His

SPECIMEN DEPUTY MAnsnAs.-I In connection
with the recent proceedings in the case of tho
mRf who killed Amos Ladd, the following ab.
slract from the records Of the South Carolina
Pcnitentiary will be found to be interesting. as
throwing some additional light upon the char
ac'er oi the men who arc appointed to fill the
peculiarly responsible and delicate position of
U. y. Deputy Marshal in South Carolina.
The person referred to below is the deputy
marshal who fred tho shots which resulted in
the death Of Ladd:
civilian W. Durham, (white,) convict No.
1907, was convicted of murder at tho May
Term, 1872, Of the Court Of General Sessions in
Sreenvtlle County, before his Honor, Judge
james L. OEr, aud sentenced to the South Caro-
lima Penitentiary for the period of two (2)
years. He was discharged from tho prison
Juno 18th, the month following, by pardon of
Governur II. K. Scott Durham was then about
iS years of age. 5.0sa inches high; had light
brown hair, light brown eyes, fair complexion;
born in Greenville, South Carolina, and was q
iarmer by occupation"
After his discharge from the Pentcntinry
Durham became an Illicit distiller,* and was
next promoted to tho position of deputy mar
shal, which ho now holds. The other deputy
marshal who was actively concerned in the
shooting Of Ladd is Hugh T.. Kane, a native of
dreland, who came to New York in 1867, and
was brought thence to South Carolina by ex-
Governor +. j. Moses, in whose service he re-
manned until promoted 10 the position of guard
at the same Institution where his companion,
Durham, was confined, and v here still another
deputy marshal, the notorious Bill Springs, is
now serving out sentence Of three years i'm
prisonment for stealing.-Nk,os and Courier.
*There arc many persons in this county who
could testify to tho fact that this man Durham
wns for long time q notorious trader in illicit
whiskey. He is now Ole of the marshals who
appear as witnesses against the gentlemen who
are arrnigned for interfering with officials in
demanding that Mr.. Hill should not be hand
cufed with his negro driver. If Commissioner
Raum really means what he says, to appoint
'men Of respectabili:y, integrity and discre-
tion," rs deputy marshals the official career of
Durham and other unworthy and disgraceful
characters is very short. Good citizens cannot
entertain any respect the law enforced by
murderers, penitentiary birds and notorious
law-breakcrs, like Durham. Wonder If Kanc
