Modern British Regicides.

During Louis Philippe's reign and
the four following years, attempts were
made upon the life of Queen Victoria by
Oxford, in 1910, and by workman
named Francis in 1912; upon the King
of Prussia, Frederick William w., in
1914, and again in 1850; upon the pres
ent Emperor of Germany, then military
commander of Coblenz, in 1849; and
upon Isabella, Queen of Spain, in 1852.
None of these attempts succeeded. Ok
ford, who shot Mt Queen Victoria while
she" was passing ON Constitution hill,
was clearly lunatic, and was confined
to Bedlam as such. He remained there
about twenty-five years, and while in
confinement showed himself invariably
rational, working industriously as car
penter, and expressing his deep remorse
whenever he was questioned about what
he termed his "wicked piece of fOolery.
Oxford is alive still, but he is residing
out of England

saulted the Queen in 1912, and made a
large vale on her face. This man died
shortly after he had been lodged in ST.

Tense, Parliament passed bill enacting
that fogging should be inflicted in the
future upon any one seeking to inflict
bodily harm upon the Queen, or to
threaten her. 1t was by virtue of this
act that the young fool O'Connor, who
leveled n pistol at the Queen in 1869,
was sentenced to be imprisoned for a
year, and to receive twenty strokes with
a birch. The Queen kindly RENTED
the whole punishment, and caused the
boy to be supplied with funds that he
might emigrat. to Australia. But, with
in less than year after he had been
shipped off to Southampton, O'Connor
returned to England, and was found
prowling within the precincts of Buck
ingham Palace Mt night, evidently with
evil intent. This time he was certified
to be out of his mind, and was sent to
an asylum, where he remained under
treatment four years. He is believed
now to be in New Zealand. COynhW.

HOME. SWEET HOME
The Memories which Cluster Around

No man neeI wall that he was not
born in some other country All lands
have their attractions, and every home,
however humble, has associated with it
some pleasant recollections. The
matched stone cottage of old England
or Ireland Is ever n picturesque object
to the American eye; and, if it does not
contain all the modern comforts of the
smart American house, it is, doubtless,
just as dear to those who were born be-
meath its roof. One-fifth of the Ameri-
can people are said TO live in cities.
They are town birds, acquainted with
smoky caves, and tasting nature i'll the
park. Most of them come from the
country, and when spring time comes,
with its tender foliage, tranquil skies,
soft breezes, birds and flowers, they
must often turn to the woods and fields
with longing and aching bosoms. We

longer young, while wiping his brow
and walking the hot pavements,
thinks of the fair rounded hill, the

life with him now; the burden of the
day is upon him, and business cares

many anxieties of modern American life
crush out much that is sweet and beau.

good and wise in thought and action.
Perhaps no country has SO many homes

A Great Memory.

One day in January, 134O-a long
while ago, but as the anecdOte is unpuh-
lished and the actors were all eminent it
will bear telling--several professors of
the University of Berlin were assembled
in the Council Chamber and were talk
ing. One of them held the Voss Gazette
i'll hand. Turning to Prof. Boeckh Qa-
nous as Greek scholar and as the pos
SCISSOR of n wonderful memory he asked:
"Do You think you could in twenty
four hours get by heart the first page of
that newspaper? ?" 81 am sure could. E"
"Prof. Boeckh, don't think you could.
I'm so sure that you could not that I'll
bet twenty bottles of wine that you
could not" "Strike hands l take
your bet" Prof. Boeckh took the news
paper and was a little shocked to see
that the first page contained nothing but
a list of persons who had ut the recent
festival of the Order of Prussia received
the ribbon. This insipid litany was, of
course, much more difficult to get by
heart than editorials and intelligence !;
still, Prof. Boeckh would not back out
At this moment Prof. Haupt, the
philologist, who was likewise famous
for his tenacious memory, enters the
Council Chamber, was told what had
occurred, and dared to take similar
bet. He smiled and struck hands
Therepson Prof. Benary, one of the
younger professors, declared that, if the
veterans of the faculty could do so
much, the rawer recruits would not be
behind them, and, to sustain the honor
of his youthful brethren, he, too. would
take the bet. The next day all of the
professors We're assembled again in the
Council Chamber Prof. Boeckh be-
gan, and recited the whole page without
missing one name, or one Christian
name, or one initial, or one grade of the
long list of persons who had received
the ribbon, from the Ministers of State
to the humblest clerk. He ratified it
of as easily as if it had been the alpha
bet
Then Prof. Haupt came to taw and
recited the long nomenclature, but he
gave it slowly and corrected himself
often. Twas now Prof. Benary's turn
to approve himself the peer of those
gray heads. He exclaimed "Breth-
rem, do you really think me capable of
fatiguing able men with so stupid a
litany for third time? No, colleagues,
I'd rather pay for twenty bottles of
good claret.' a peal of laughter shook
the Council Chamber. Did Prof.
Benary distrust his memory? Nobody
knew, nobody asked, so delighted we're
all at the supper table to see score
bjttles more of good claret reinforce the
forty already won.-I'aris letter.

How the Sunday Stone Was Made.

In an Oxford museum may be seen a
strange stone. 1t is composed of car
Donate of lime, and was taken from a
pipe which carries off drain water in a
collery. The stone consists of alter
nate layers of black and white, so that
it has a striped appearance. This was
caused in the following way: When the
miners were at work, the water which ran
through the pipe contained a good deal
of coai-dust, and so left black post
in the pipe. But, when no work was
going on-as, for instance, in the night
the water was clean, and so a white
layer was formed. In time these de-
posts quite filed the pipes, and it was
therefore taken up. Then it was found
that the black and white layers formed
quite calendar. Small streaks, alter
nately black and white, showed week,
Id then came white streak of twice
the usual size. This was Sabbath, dur
ing which there was no work for twenty
four hours. But in the middle of one
week there came a white streak of twice

An Extinct Family.

1t is a curious fact that there are no
known descendants of Christopher Co
lumbus left on earth. He had two sons,
one of whom, Don Diego, rose to dis
tinction as an Admiral, and the other,
Fernando, as scholar. Fernando was
great traveller. He not only thrice
visited America, but subsequently, trav-
ersed the whole of Europe, and almost
every accessible portion of Asia and At
RIGA. He appears to have been pro-
found scholar and thoroughly good
man. In his will he stipulated that his
library, containing 10000 volumes,
which he gave to the Cathedral of Sc
vile, should be free to the people, and
it is to this day. From books in this
collection the late Washington Irving
obtained considerable portion of the
information on which his "Life of Co
lumbus was founded.
The following quaint epitaph, almost
obliterated by time, appears upon the
tablet which marks the site of his tomb :
"What does it profit me to have
sprinkled the whole world with my
sweat to have three times crossed to the
New World discovered by my father;
to have embellished the shores of the
tranquil Guadalquivir, and preferred
my simple tastes rather than riches or
that | have assembled round thee
divinities from the source of Castalia,
and offered to thee the riches gained by
Ptolemy, if, passing in silence over this
stone, thou shouldst fail to address a
single salutation to my fathers memory,
or to myself slight remembrance 2"

THE Vienna Ncue Freie Prcsse has
tried the experiment OF lighting its COM
posing-room with electricity for the past
two months, and announces its entire
satisfaction with the result. Eight
differential lamps supply a much bet
ter light than was before obtained from
eighty gas-jets. The printers, who are
the best judges of the quality of the light
and its effects upon the eyesight, are
unanimous in its favor. The system
employed is that of Siemens and Halske.
A force equal to about three-fourths of
One-horse power per lamp is required
for the electric machine. AS to the ex-
pense compared with gas, the Freie
Presse says that where water-power can
be employed, or where coal is cheap,
the advantage is decidedly on the side
OF electricity.

boast of the. oldest individual in the
State, i'll the person of Mrs. Belhumer,
who has attained the remarkable age OF
100 years, and still retains most OF her

certainly has her peculiarities, insisting
on living alone, carries in her own wood

does not require the use of spectacles,
and, apparently, is just as "young rs
she used to be-" Mrs. B. was born in
France, but has lived in Canada and this

however, clinging tenaciously to her
native tongue and customs.
THE Rev. Noah Nj. Wells died at the

In Erie, not long since. Had the de-

oldest clergyman of any denomination.
Mr.. Wells was born in Saratoga county,

Union College, Schenectady, n. Y. He
was educated for the ministry, and en-
tered upon his first charge in Eastern

The Dark Stock i'm Ireland.

A good deal is said about "the dark
stock" prevailing in the West and South
west of Ireland. But one of the chief
sources of that element is entirely over
looked, probably because too recent and
too obvious to arrest the attention of the
paleolithic and neolithic ethnologists.
The source in question is the Spanish,
due TO the close commercial and even
social intimacy maintained by Spain
with the west coast of Ireland down to
quite recent times. There We're import
ant Spanish trading stations ut Dingle,
Valentia, Cahirciveen, Bantry, limo
league, Galway, and elsewhere. Many
of the old houses i'll these places are
built in the Spanish style, and it may
not be generally known that valentia
island was actually held by the Span
iards until expelled during the vigorous
administration of Cromwell. Many of
the peasantry in Kerry and Galway bear
an unmistakable Spanish expression,
and this factor ought certainly to he
taken into account in dealing with the
complicated problem of Irish ethnol-
ogy.-Not,re

The Cucumber.

The extent to which this vegetable is
consumed by the inhabitants of Egypt
and the Southwest of Asia, and also III
European Russia and Germany, would
scarcely seem credible to this country.
You never see Russian peasant mt din
ner but you see the lump of black bread
and cucumber. The vegetable seems
certainly II singular dish to be SO ma
tional in n country with climate like
that of Russia. Some writers say that
there used to be n great annual fair at
Leipsic for cucumbers, when the streets
were heaped up story high with that
precious element of German cookery.
In Germany barrels of half and also full
grown cucumbers are preserved from
one year to another by immersion III
deep wells, where the uniform temper
allure and exclusion from air seemed t.
be the preserving agents.

II the pyramid of Cheops is a miracle
in stone, svmbolical Bible, the pyra-
midists were barely in time to get in
with their measurements and interpreta-
tons, as the Khedive is using them as
stone-quarries, and, worse than all. the
use he is making of the stones is to build
Moslem mosque. The New York Post
insists that the pyramids do not belong
to the miserable debris of an old civil
cation such as the Khedive and his peo-
pie are, but that they are the property
of mankind, and that protest
should go from all civilized Govern
ments against their spoliation. As
France, England, and America have
been engaged in rihing Egypt of her an.
tiduities, and even stealing the rags of
her venerable dead, out of which tc
make newspapers, protest would not
come with good grace from them.

persons imagined that horses would be-

horse requires as much land for the
production of It's food as would yield
comfortable subsistence to at least three
human beings" Mr.. Gray proceeds to
calculate that railroads would throw
100000 horses out of work, and that
consequently there would be food for
5000, 900 more people.
