Greece by the Dorians in the eleventh
century before our era. In one of the
buried cities / found many statues of
Minerva with the OWLS head, whence

and important of all the discov-

Friam. Every article found in the ruins
OF that city bears unmistakable signs of
having been destroyed by fire and in

many remains of human bodies in full

young man named Noftsinger was hanged
at Gainesville, Texas, q few months since,
for the murder OF a man named Kline. The
evidence showed that the murder was COM

recently confined with twins, thought she was
going to die, and confessed that she prepared
the pallet on the porch for the deed to be
committed, and was not beside him as Was
believed, but had arisen while her husband
was asleep that the assassins might do their
work. She says the shot was fired by one
Gardner, put he was seconded by Noftsinger.
The latter was her lover before her marriage
to Kline. The woman is recovering and
will probably get well.

Tributes of Audiences to Actors.


Fruits, as well as flowers, now figure
among the tributes profered by London
audiences to favorite actresses. To most
OF them, this is, no doubt, an agreeable
innovation. A basket of luscious Bartlets
or Oldmixons, if less poetical, is certain
ly much more practical present than
the rarest bunch of camellias or iacque-
minots.
These theatrical offerings vary curious
ly in different parts of the world. In

de reached the crank which the sexton
turned when ringing the bell. No one
was there.
"Hello no, there, no !" shouted CYRUS
directly into the bells throat. But the
bells roar drowned his words. He
climbed still higher, and soon sat among
the rafters above the bell. He reached
down and felt the air around the bell.
His hand struck something. ooh p
thought Cyrus. He felt the something
and found that it was the limb of tree.
Following the limb with his hand, he
found that the limb had thrust itself
through big hole in the lattice-work.
Every time the tall tree on the outside
rocked, this limb moved quickly forward
and, withdrew again. Cyrus laughed.
He had found the ghost, for he knew that
the end of the limb had caught the clap
per of the bell, and SO that every time
the tree was rocked by the wind the
clatpper struck. He caught the limb
with both hands and gave it q hard,
strong pull. The limb bent and the bell
stopped ringing.
In the mean time the people were
waiting anxiously below. AS soon as the
bell stopped Cyrus put his mouth to the
hole in the lattice. and called out that il
was all right. Thesexton soon arrived with
the keys, and taking hatchet, Cyrus
chopped the bothersome limb in two.
The people of Aquasco went to bed, and
many laughed at the sections ghost. On
the following day great number visited
the belfry to see the curious bell-ringer.
1t was found that an army of flying
squirrels had cut the hole In the lattice
work, and that the wind had forced the
limb OF the neig hboring oak through the
opening. A little prong near the end of
the limb had caught the clapper near its
point, and so the wind made its novel
bell ringer. er.--PhiladeIphi1 Times.

Dueling i'm Florida,

The bowie-knife was favorite weapon
with the Floridians. Only "dead-
game" men could stand before this ter
r1ble weapon: The usual method of
hghtlng with knives was to clasp the
left hands of the combatants together
and put very keen, broad knives in their
hands; the seconds then stood within
reach OF the men, to interfere with
pistol ball If either combatant violated
the rules of the fight. There were
many affairs with bowie-knives in the
ante-bellum days of Florida. One of
the mcst noted was meeting between
Maj. Jim Jones and Col. Grinard, O
trenchman. The bowie in this case
seems to have been compromise be-
tween the sword of the Frenchman and
the pistol of the Floridian. The duel
was fought In 1862. It was very bloody,
both men being gashed fearfully, and
Jones was finally cut into slices across
his breast and killed outright. It is
SAID that this duel was remarkable for
having been fought in utter silence.
Though the knives slipped in and out
ot the bodies OF each man neither said
word. With their lips clenched and
their teeth set like q vise they fought in
silence. Not q sound came from the
mouth of either, and when at last Jones
tell In death Grinard turned, and, wip-
ing the blood from his face, spoke for
the first time, addressing his second.
Preserving Timber In Ground.
In speaking of the well-known methods
of preserving posts and wood which are
partly imbedded in the earth, by char
ring and coating with tar, it is said these
methods are only effective when both are
applied. Should the poles only be char
red without the subsequent treatment
with tar, the charcoal formation on the
surface would only act as an absorber OF
the moisture, and, if anything, only
hasten the decay. By applying coat
ing Of tar without previously charring,
the tar would only form casing about
the wood, nor would it penetrate to the
depth which the absorbing properties OF
the charcoal surface would insure.
Wood that is exposed to the action OF
water or let into the ground should first
be charred, and then, before it has en-
tirely cooled, be treated with tar till the
wood is thoroughly impregnated. The
acetic acid and oils contained in the tar
are evaporated by the heat, and only the
resin left behind, which penetrates the
pores of the wood and forms ali air-tight
and waterproof envelope. It is important
! to impregnate the poles O little above the
line of exposure, for here it is that the
action of decay affects the wood first
and where the break always occurs
when removed from the earth or strained
in testing.

Spelling WOmen's Names.

Many, If not majority, of the names
of 800 or 900 girls from the public
schools examined for admission to the
normal college gives us the impression
that they belong to mere household pets
rather than to young women who are ap-
preaching maturity, and who. are en-
gagged in serious work. These girls ap-
Parently prefer the nicknames by which
they are known In the family circle and
to intimate friends, and therefore take
pains to adopt them in their signatures
In 80 doing, the public school girls are
not exceptional among our young wo-
men, for it is quite the fashion now-a-
days for them to grow 80 enamoured of
their nursery appellations that they cling
to them as their fixed and proper names.
They may even be offended when they
are addressed by their correct names,
which they imagine less pretty than
these pet diminutives; and some grave,
grown-up women will put Hattie or
Gussle, Mamie or Sallie on their cards
as If they were in pinafores still
The fashion is American; but our pa
trlotlsm can not make us grow fond of
it, The nicknames which appear in so
large O. share of these public school girls
signatures would do very well for pets at
dog-show. When they are used to ex-
press the affectionate regard of near
friends and relatives, they also may be
pretty and appropriate, but they look
very silly in formal signature, and
surely do not befit the dignity of woman
hood.
We find, for instance, among these
800 names scores of Minnies or Mamies,
and only here and there Mary, much
more euphonious and dignified name
Jane Is transformed usually into Jenny
Caroline into Carrie, Ellen to Ella,
Elizabeth into Lizzie and Bessie, Kath-
crime into Katie, Martha into Matte,
Margaret into Maggie, Anne and Anna
into Annie, and Harriet into Hattie
Such absurd names as these appear quite
frequently: Chattie, Lille, Millie, Til
lie, Mttie, Rosie, Nettie, Bibbie, Aggie
and Maggie.
The great aim seems to be to manufac-
ture name which ends in lie, and in ac-
complishing it the finest appellations for
| women who have names renowned In POI
etry and history, and of sweet and mo-
iodlous sound, are chopped up into child
ish diminutives. They convey an idea
OF pettiness, and do not belong to girls of
dignity and character-gills like those
who are going to the normal colleges 90
many of whom will have their liviIg to
earn. And yet these girls think lit is
pretty to be known by such pet names,
and so discard, as ugly and old-fashioned,
the names by which they are christened.
What would they think to see O college
register which give. the young mems
names as Jimmie, Billie, Bobbie, Tom
mle, Charlie, Samie and Dickie.
This fashion is extending among wo-
men, and girls are even named with nick
names only, as if they were always to ioe.
nothing more than nursery pets. And
yet this is a period when women are con-
tending for higher consideration as ra-
tional beings, and when the range of
their occupations outside of the domestic
circle is constantly widening and grow
ing in importance.-N. Y. San.
