the late storm, which impaired the

we would suggest to the Police

needs repairing and putting up al

Apostle Spoons.
National Repository.1

Among old English spoons none are so
interesting as what are called APOSTLE
spoons, which were of various forms, the
handles terminating in sculptured figures
of the twelve apostles. Sets of thirteen
were sometimes made, but only very
few of these sets containing the "Mas-
ter" spoon are known to exist, one of
them being in possession of Corpus Christi
College, Cambridge, England. The fig
ure of each spoon is recognized by some
emblem, and as the list of these has nev-
er, so far know, been published in this
country it may be of interest to persons
who have taste for these old treasures.
The following are the emblems charac-
terislic Of each of the apostles:
1. St. James the Less, with fuller's bat
2. st. B rthoomew, with butchers knife.
g. ST. Peter, with q key, or sometimes ith fish
4. st. Jude, with cross, club or carpenter $
square.
s. St. james the Greater, with pilgrims staff
and gourd, b tile, Or scrip, and sometimes
hat and escallgp shell.
G. st. Ph lip, W tn long staff SON etimes with a
cro,s in the 4. in other cases with double
cross r a small cross in his hand, or with a
basket OF fish.
T. The Savior or Master with an orb and cross
g. st. John. with a cup the cup OF sorrow).
o. st. Thomas, with spear; sometimes he bears
builders rule.
TO- ST. Matthew, with wallet sometimes an ak
and spear.
II. st. Matthias, with an Ak or halberd.
IL st. Simon zeotes, with long saw.
Is. st. Andrew, with saltier cross.

Lord Beaconsfeld, like many other
speakers, finds it difficult to bind HIM
self down to the MS. of the speech which
he has given beforehand to the papers.
Several years ago Tom" Hughes made a
speech, which for the first time in his life
he wrote out previously and gave to the
press. 1t contained very fine passage
giving a poetic legend in the most touch
ing way. Just as Beacons6eld, on one oc-
casion having quoted in his MS. GER
tain text from the Bible, had not the
courage to speak it, so Mr.. Hughes cut
out the poetry when he came to it Oh the
platform. In one newspaper Office the
difference between the MS. and the
spoken words was observed, but the edi-
tor was more 10th to lose 1t than the au-
thor. "Thats too good to cut" said the
forme-, and 50 it appeared in full, the re-
suit being that those who read the speech
next day had a much better performance
than those who went to the meeting.

whom we are indebted for this fact sup
plements his statement with the remark
able prophecy that not until 1920 will
another February be able to boast such a
plethora Of First Day. There is some
thing remarkable in the fact that this
surpIuNage of Sunday should occur in a
leap year; it really looks as thou; h there
were management in this thing. But
be that so or not, if the unmarried young
lady with yearnings after matrimony
does not take advantage of the coming
b'ssextile February, with its culinary op-
portunities for marital encouragement,
she is not the unmarried young lady
with matrimonial yearn.ngs that we take
her for.

Killing Monkey q Crime in
Georgia.
forest ga, News.l

A singular case is to be tried in Gilmer
Superior Court next week. About year
ago a Snowman was exhibiting trained
monkey in said county. Among other
tricks, the monkey had been taught to
fire pistol A Snowman handed him
pistol, and told him to "shoot the ugliest
man In the crowd" Some mischievous
boys had put shot in the pistol, and
when the monkey picked out his man
and fiued the shot took effect and slightly
wounded the ugly man, who whipped
ont his knife, cut the monkeys throat,
and whipped the Snowman. The monkey
died next day. The ugly man is in
dicted, but we know not whether it is
for the murder of the monkey, malicious
mischief, riot, Or assault and battery.

contemporary hevleW.I
The naked human body, which the
Greeks had trained, studied and idolised,
did not exist in the fifteenth century; in
its stead there was only the undressed
body, ill-developed, unframed, pinched
and distorted by the garments only Just
cast off; cramped and bent by sedentary
occupations, Evid with the plague spots
of the Middle Ages, SCARED by the whip
marks of ascetioism. This stripped
body, unseen and unfit to be seen, unac-
customed to the air and to the eyes of
Others, shivered and covered for cold and
for shame.
The Giottesques ignored its very exist
cnce, conceiving humanity as bodiless
creature, with face and hands to express
emotion, and just enough maformed legs
and feet to be either standing or moving;
further, beneath the garments there was
nothing. The realists of the fifteenth
century tore off the clothes and drew the
ugly thing beneath, and bought the
torIses from the lazar-houses and stole
them from the gallOws, in order to see
how bone fitted into bone, and muscle
was stretched over muscle. They learned
to perfection the anatomy of the human
frame, but they could not learn it's
beauty; they became even reconcied to
the ugliness they were accustomed to see,
and, with their minds full of antique ex-
ampIes. Vyrrocchio, Dantello, Pollaiolo
and Ghirlandajo, the greatest anatomists
OF the fifteenth century, initiated their
'oarse and ill-made living models when
they imagined that they were initiating
antique marbles.

THE MORGAN HORsE.-While the
lovers of the horse are profuse with
praises of the fashionable families of
trotting horses, and SO much is written
about them, and for them, it is a matter
of surprise that we do not see some
thing occasionally concerning the Nor
gan horse. 1t is surprising, for reasons
that | shall briefly state. About thirty
years since, a wealthy gentleman of this
country brought from the State of New
York, purchased | think at the State
fair a Morgan stallion-a true type of
the breed. Some Of the get of that
horse are still living in this country, and
| know one that Notwithstanding his
age, twenty-five years. is as free as a
colt, and is to-day the most remarkable
horse | have ever known, having been a
horse of great speed, power and en-
durance. He is strikingly like his sire,
and like the Morgan horse, Gen. Clifford,
whose picture appears in Youatt' 5
work on the horse. Having known the
valuable colts produced from this old
horse, now dead many years, | am at a
loss to understand why some of the
finest types of the Morgan are not now
Familiarity known. | know, for [ have
had the means Of knowing, that the
colts of a Morgan horse from fine mares,
with a good share of the thoroughbred
In their veins are the most desirable
sort that can be bred In America to-day,
combining the qualities of sire and dam.
The writer of this was a small boy when
the Morgan spoken of above was being
used in this country, but his recollection
of the horse is vivid. He was about
IA hands, dark chestnut, with some
white about the face very muscular
and compact, with a general plumbness
of contour, and having fine style add
trOttlng action, and withal the very
animal to produce the best gentleman's
road and saddle horses.
The trotting horse, as bred in Amcri-
ca to-day, is a wonderful animal-one
that she can well be proud of-and they
illicit our highest admiration, as we
know them to be generally docile, level
headed and speedy. | conceive that
they are more to be priced than the
thoroughbred, for a great many of the
thoroughbreds have propensity to slash
their heels out behind them-.just a
little playful as a jockey will tell you,
but a sort of pay that would not be
healthy for mothers and babies if they
should happen to be sitting behind
them. characteristics are very easily
transmitted.
| trust to see something said, at some
time, for the Morgan, a horse that de-
serves to be rescued from the oblivion
that seemingly has covered it. They
combine in their colts what is not always
found in many of the trotters of the day
hardness, docility, bottom and speed.

her ofband to a man she did not see
previous to the night of the betrothal,
and it is surprising to learn IN conse-
ouence that at nineteen she was already
divorced and living alone in her father 5
Moscow mansion. Here she created one
of the most fashionable salons OF the old
capitol, and in the very zenith OF her
popularity married Pashkotf. the mil
nonaire, and retired for a twelvemonth
to his mining estates in the Trails. Her
second husband was then appointed
Russian agent in Egypt, and she ac-
companied Linn thither. and before long
had the rare and singular honor of
dining alone with the Niceroy. firing
of leading the Russian colony at Cairo
she set out on a journey through Syria
and Palestine, not continlng herself,
like ordinary lady tourists, to the main
roads, but roaming about In the most
unsettled districts. On her return to
the Mediterranean she went on a yacht
ing cruise in the Levant, visited Italy,
darted off afresh to Mount Lebanon, and
equally unexpectedly made her appear
ance at the end OF a year at Mentone:
She now wrote a number OF novels and
became a corresponding member OF the
French Geographical Society, a con
nection which led her after a while to
proceed on a journey round the world.
This terminated last winter, and about
the same time she lost her colossal for
tune. Separated from her second hus-
band, forsaken by her friends and re-
duced to extreme poverty, she retired a
few days ago to a Oom III n OF the
meanest hotels in Odessa and attempted
to take her life. By chance, a button
on her dress caused the bullet to miss
her heart and to bury itself in her
shoulder, whence it since has been
tracted. The tragic circumstances in
vesting the hayward descendant of the
Tartars have created great sympathy
among the admirers of THE Princess
Vaira Glenski," and should Nine.
Pashkoff recover from her serious
wound a fund will be formed to place
her once more in a position above
penury.

Uses OF Coal TAR.-Colonel Curtis.
in the Rural Neu Yorker, has the fol-
lowing in regard to the merits of gas
coal tar: This is our sovereign remedy
for all cuts and wounds, and is the best
cure for all kinds of sores. 1t is the
cheapest and most efhcscious applica-
ton which any one can use. If applied
to a fresh wound, however severe it
will prevent the growth of proud flesh,
and promote healthy granulation. 1t
coats over a cut or fesh-wound with an
adhesive covering which keeps out the
air and prevents smarting or pain. 1t
will keep the flies away, and is selfad-
hesive. The best way to buy it is by
the barrel. 1t is a durable paint for
tools, fences, a hayrigging, a farm
wagon, or anything exposed to the
weather. Wood will last a great deal
longer when painted with it. 1t should
always, when used as a paint, be put on
hot. 1t is a durable an preserving paint
for an iron fence
