Walpole wrote an ingenious work to
show-taklng for his base the conflict
ing statements in history and biography
that no such person as Richard III,
ever existed, or that if he did he could
have been neither tyrant nor hunch-
back. "Historic doubts relative to Ma
poleon Bonaparte" was published in
London in 1910, and created widespread
amusement because of its amazing
cleverness. Napoleon, who was at the
time captive at St. Halena, admired
the composition greatly. Archbishop
Whately and Sydney Smith were both
reputed to be the author. Since the
publication of that skit numerous im-
itations have been issued, but none have
shown much originality or literary skill,
and have therefore vanished into the
darkness of merited oblivion.

In fact, this is the chief way in which
pepper should be used, unless one
wants to scare the moths out of
ones stomach at the cost of wearing
out and burning up the delicate tissues

where the blood needs to be coaxed

AN OLD CANNON BALL.
Was it Shot from Hendrick Hudson's
HalfmOOn!

Troy Times.
Ihe Albany and Rensselaer, iron and
steel company is building an extensive
barn on the south bank of the Wynant-
SKILL near the steam rolling mill. The
foundation Of this new structure in
closes the walls of a house said to have
been built over 100 years ago. This
morning while workmen were remov.
ing the remains of the old building,
they found, buried in the earth fully
two feet below the foundation an IS
pound solid cannon ball. It is much
eaten bv rust, and from all appearances
undoubtedly found its way to that spot
long before the old house was erected.
Various opinions are rife regarding its
history, but none. of the savants at the
iron works are able to give any salts.
factory explanation as to how it came
there; nor is there anything about it
that deslgnates its nationality. Robert
cambridge: one of the Oldest histori-
ans at the iron works, cannot explain it,
and James Veto, jr., who is we'll versed
IN the antiquities of that region is not
certain whether it was fred from Hen
drlck Hudson's Halfmoon, or was
stray shot from one of Burgoyne's bat
teries at Saltwater. It has been ex-
amined by a large number Of inouisi-
tive people, and the mystery surround
ing it has become the common topic all
along the banks of the Wynantskill.
Will some one come forward and solve
the problem of this cannon ball? It is
now at the Office of the steam rolling
mill, and can be seen and examined by
the Oldest inhabitant if he will kindly
step forward. We would respectfully
refer the matter to Drs. Swineburne
and Mosher.

TINE IN PARIS.
How the People Keep 1t from Hanging
Heavy ON Their Hands.
The Partisan.

The Partisan.
You may talk about the marvel of
pneumatic clocks, the convenience of
monster omnibuses. the rapidity of
communication between one quarter of
Paris and another, but it is no use try
ing to show that the Parisians have no
time to spare, or that they are ever in
hurry. They have no such time that
they do not know what to do with it.
They waste their time like a child
wastes his gayety, or rich man bis
gold. They squander it looking at the
stars in heaven or the water flowing
under bridge. Did ever anybody
calculate the time spent by the Paris
ians in reading posters? When a dog
barks at cat, when two sparrows make
love to each other on a roof, when q
canary has escaped into the street, at
once crowd assemblies, SO per cent. of
which does not know what it is all
about. The marriage of a corner GRO
Ger with the daughter of the cheese
monger almost excites q riot; the pass
age of a coach and four causes grand
excitement; the Parisians will stand for
hours with their feet in the mud to see
procession which will not pass until
the next day if it pass that way at all
The Parisians are children who amuse
themselves by playing at business like
schoolboys playing at war. The only
difference is that they have taken their
amusement al serieur. II pneumatic
clocks did not exist, and if the day
were only four hours long you may be
sure that they would find time to play
dominoes and hang round a church
door to catch glimpse of the bride.

Historic Doubts.

1t has strongly doubted whether Joan

books have been published discussing
the question. A Belgian lawyer is the

ratives of her death, err exceedingly in
saying that it took place on the last dav
of May, 1473, the fact being that she
was alive and we'll many years after
that date. There are good grounds, too.
for believing that the pretty tale of Abe

Nobody has yet unriddled the mys-
terry OF the man in the iron mask, and
nobody seems likely to do SO, while
the identity of the writer of the "Juni-

as ever. These are two insoluble en-.
igmas, impenetrable mysteries that
battle ISOLATION, and about which, per-
haps, the public has become tired of

An extremely witty and characteris-

CONFERRING KNIGHTHOOD.
knights Account of tie Ceremony.

The scene of the ceremony was
Windsor castle, and the knight expect
ant was conversing with the duke of
Brabant, now king of the Belgians, when
an usher carried him off for presenta-
ton to her majesty.
ut was a small oak-paneled room, in
the middle of which stood lady sur
rounded by sedate- looking men. I felt
as II mistake had been made-that I
had got into the manorial enclosure in
stead OF the strangers pew-and was
on the point of bowing myself out
again, in the humblest way possible, as
a proof Of my unintentional intrusion,
when the lady mentioned smiled so
kindly that l left off bowling and walked
further on. There was no necessity
now to tell me that I was in the presence
OF the queen. felt that I was. What
ever may be often thought nowadays of
such divinity as doth hedge monarch
l, tor my part, was ready at once to ac-
knowledge that fealty to Eaeland's ruler
which hitherto had only offered to the
dear country itself.
'After few words had passed,
cushion was brought and laid before
me, and then another, on which there
was q heavy-looking sword. Some one
behind ne whispered that was to
kneel!-an operation by no means
agreeable to man before company.
This somewhat awkwardly did, and
so remained, with my face bent toward
her maiesty's feet, expecting every mo-
ment to feel the weight Of the sword on
my shoulder to indicate that the cere-
mony had begun, but nothing came.
There was dead silence. So 1 looked
up and saw the queen holding up the
sword and directing an inquiring glance
toward some one behind my back.
Whoever that person was he seemed to
be long time in answering. It was
the earl of Aberdeen. It was evident
to me that her majesty could not hold
the sword over my head much longer.
1 asked what was wanted. Your
Christian Nance her majesty said.
Stephen I replied, and down came the
sword, missing the shoulder and strik-
ing the cushion. The ceremony, how
ever, was complete without that, for her

S;ephen,' and held out her hand to kiss.
l did kiss it, and felt in doing so that
she had not many in her wide realm
who would serve more devOtely than I,
If necessity required it.
1.-The cushions were removed: the
queen grociously smiled to all around
and left the room, and we retired to-
gether through the corridor before
mentioned. I was standing near the
entrance to the castle door whilst the
earl of Clarendon was lighting cigar,
when the duke of Newcastle rejoined
us and said, ALLOW me to congratulate
you as Sir Stephen Lakeman, and as to
having your head still on. I thought
at one time her majesty was going to
cut it off, *Ah' said Lord Claredon,

Pepper for Moths.
New York Times.

A word in season, If it is the right
word, regarding moths, will be equiva-
lent in utility to the old adage, IA
stitch in time saves nine." An obscure
student of economic housewitery, who
has attentively regarded for series of
years the action of different vegetable
substances on the life and destruction
of insects, has discovered the proper
food for the greedy moth, all mouth.
1t is cheaper than camphor or tobacco,
has no smell and is always available. A
pound or two or three of black pepper,
ready pulverized for table use, scattered
freely among your turs and woolens,
can easily be shaken all out in the
autumn by some hand, willing and hap
py to be hired to sneeze, and the gar
ments will be found uninjured. A
lady who packed up her personal effects
in the loose confusion of too little time
and strength to devote thereto, hurried
them off to one of our great store.
houses, and left them untouched dur
ing an absence of three years. She had
tossed the pepper with random lavish
ness through each trunk. box and de-
fenseless bag of bundles. She found
her fur-trimmed and Atwood garments
perfectly unframed after their three
years of extra exposure among the
quantities of other families goods &C.
cumulated in the proper moths board
lng-house. Not only this triumph;
another div1lged experience brings to
light handsome muf, which, being
superseded by other furs to match
suits, escaped us for fifteen or twenty
years, and was seldom looked at. Well
peppered, and without other extra
care, it is clean, fresh and unchanged
to-day. An economic object attained,
better few cachinatory occasions, and
funny profusion of sorrowless tears,
or an hours humbug cough, in looking
over trunk, if it earns money faster

A Vampire From Asia.
Toledo co., Commercial.

In store in Summit street NAV be
seen an animal the like of which few
people in Toledo have ever seen. It ia
a monster South Asia vampire, the
much dreaded blood sucker of that
country. This rare creature, perhaps
the only living specimen of the kind in
this country, is about one and half
feet long, has pair OF piercing black
eyes which shine like diamonds. q
double row of sharp teeth similar to
those of the weasel, and it's powerful
wings, when stretched full length meas.
ure 81 feet from point to point. The
vampire hangs suspended from a bar in
the center of its cage by pair of for
midable claws, and when in repose re-
sembles closed umbrella; it's body is
covered with q comfortable coat of
brown fur, while it's beautifully proper
toned head, which has remarkable
similarity to that of 4 diminutive black
and-tan terrier dog, is surmounted by
pair of large, shell shaped ears. This
strange creature is almost totally blind
during the day, but at night its little
eyes twinkle with astonishing brillian-
cy. The vampire is kept in tempera-
ture of about 20 degrees in order to
conform az nearly as possible with the
climate OF his native home.
