A King CHALLENGED by q Poet.

It is not often that a subject venture;
to challenge his sovereign, but this, il
appears, was recently done by the
Swedish poet Bjornson. King Oscar
who has considerable reputation as an
author, takes a strong interest in con
temporary Swedish literature, and is
sometimes rather free in his criticisms
of well-known writer's. He lately passed
an unfavorable Judgment On a new
work by Bjornson, expressing at the
same time some contempt for the gen
eral character of his work. The indig-
nant poet at once wrote to his Majesty
demanding that he should apologize fol
the insult or grant the only satisfaction
that would be accepted by man Of
honor. The King was prosaic enough
to hand the letter to the police authori
ties of Stockholm, who Instituted pro
ceedings against the writer. Bjornsor
suddenly discovered that change Of
air would suit him, and has now ample
leisure to consider whether, after all, 6
King should have the right to express
literary opinion only at the risk of his
life.

RetributiOn.

A quietly dressed lady passed down
the aisle of crowded car, looking for a
seat. Presently she came to one occupied
by fnely-dressed young woman who
sat directly in the middle of it, talking
to a friend in the seat before her. The
young lady looking for seat said very
politely, SIS this seat engaged?" The
young woman, without offering to move
along, or rise to let her pass, said, in a
careless and exasperating tone, looking
impudently in her face, "No. Do you
want to come in? Offended by her
tone and manner, the lady blushed with
displeasure and passed on. By this
time gentleman acquaintance had
found her seat, which she accepted.
"Did you hear how that woman an
swered me?" she said, Indignantly.
[ could not have believed that one Of
my own sex would be so rude. And
the best of it is I know her by name,
and, if she had known who / am, she
would have been very polite to me.
She is enamored of my cousin, and is
doing her best to secure him as hus-
band. [ am afraid she has made mis-
take in not being civil" Mark the Sc
quel: The young lady during the day
joined her cousin, and in the evening
they were returning home on the train,
when in came the other young woman,
and, at once catching sight of the young
gentleman as she entered the door.
smiles wreathed her countenance. He,
not knowing what had happened, rose
and saluted her cordially, and at once
introduced her to his companion. Why
did she turn pale, then red? She sim
ply saw what fool she had been, and,
If she failed to see the unreasonable
depth of her folly, it was revealed to
her when, afterward, the favorite cousin
of the man she wanted for sweetheart
said coolly to her, 81 noticed you On
the train this morning." There was no
longer any doubt that she had been
recognized, and that her rudeness
would be reported to the ears to which
of all others she desired it ot to come.
So, you see, If you are not polite from
principle, it is well to be so from
policy. The man or woman who is in
variably civil and oblging need fear no
awkward adventures like this one.

How Boys May Make Money.

Pawpaws occasionally come to this
market, and are invariably disposed of
at high prices. Many persons who
were accustomed to eat them when they
lived further South are glad to get
them, and are willing to pay very lib
orally for them. They should be gath
cred when slightly green, and sent to
market in neat boxes or baskets. The
pawpaw resembles the banana, but is
superior to it in richness and flavor.
Persimmons also sell we'll, and the mar
ket is rarely supplied with them. They
should be sent as strawberries are, in
quart boxes, packed in crates. AS they
are not liable to injury at the season
when they are in a condition to be
gathered, it is not necessary to send
them by express. Il is quite as we'll to
forward them in ordinary freight cars.
Pecans, walnuts and hickory nuts are
always salable, and may be sent in flour
or apple barrels. Chestnuts always
command a high price here, and the mar
ket is inditferently supplied with them.
A commission merchant who would give
his attention to handling native wild
fruits and nuts could make money by
the operation, and would prove bene-
factor to boys in the city and country.
Many families in the city would pur-
chase native nuts by the barrel if they
knew where to obtain them, and could
get them at twice the price country
boys would expect for gathering them.
Beech-nuts are regarded as great dain-
ties here, and command good prices

clothes, at the same time wagging his
tail in a significant manner. The
strange manner of the dog excited the
suspicious of the proprietor. The lady
was seized, heavily manacled, and, de-
spite her struggles, dragged into an
Eastern oysters-for-two compartment
and searched. On her person was
found secreted a valuable mince pie.
The wretched woman was condemned
to swallow four wretched doughnuts OF
the period, while the dog was rewarded
with solid-gold collar set with dia-
monds and things. The above story
seems wildly incredible, we know, but
can be testified to by many eminent
witnesses.

ITEMS OF INTEREST.

The Order of the Garter owes its
origin to Edward Ill, who conquered
France and Scotland, and brought their
Kings prisoners to England.
The origin of electing members by

SALT, in the East, is a symbol of
fidelity; man who has partaken of
salt with you is bound by the laws of
hospitality; and thus bread and salt
are eaten at the ratification of bar
gain or treaty, to make it binding on
all parties. Salt is also an emblem OF
desolation; conquered cities were sown
with salt.
The national-bank system Of the
United States was organized on Feb.
rs, 1868, to give uniformity to the pa
per currency and the banking laws OF
the country. The old banks, author
lied by the several States, were induced,
by certain privileges, to surrender their
State charters and adopt the national
plan, and accept charters as national
banks from the United States Govern
ment. 1}#
GAS was first applied to practical pur-
poses in 1892, by a Mr.. Murdoch, an
English engineer, residing in Cornwall
but it was on very limited scale and
did not attract much attention. In 1902
large factory at Birmingham was illu-
minated with gas at the public rejoicing
for the peace of Amiens. Hundreds OF
persons came to see the sight, and the
novelty gained such a footing that gas
works were established at Birmingham,
Manchester and Halifax.
PIN-MoNEY was lady's allowance OF
money for her own personal expendi-

In the fourteenth century the maker
was allowed to sell them in open shop
only on the Isl and I'd of January. It
was then that court ladies and city
DANES focked to the city to buy them,
having been first provided with money
by their husbands. When pins became
cheap and common, the ladies' spent
their allowances On other fancies, but
the term "pin-money" remained in
vogue.
The title Admiral is the highest rank
of naval officer. BY an act of Congress
of the United States of July Is, 1862,
the navy of the Union was divided into
nine grades, of which the highest was
that of Rear Admiral. In the British
navy the Admirals are graded in three
classes, according to the color of their
flag, Admiral of the red, of the white,
and Of the blue. In fleet disposed in
battle array the first of these holds the
center, the second the van, and the
third the rear. Admiral of the feet is
simply an honorary distinction with in
crease of pay.

The Bastile.

Monday, July IA, was the ninetieth
anniversary of the storming and de-
struction of the Bastile the state pris-
on and citadel of Paris. The building
of the prison was begun in 1869 by
Charles V, it was enlarged in succeed
ing reigns, and destroyed by the people
III 1889. 1t was situated at the gate of
St. Antoine. The inhuman treatment
to which prisoners in the Bastile we're
subjected has few parallels in the his
tory of penal cruelty. Put there with
out accusation or trial, on a simple
lettre de cGchet, their final fate was en-
tirely dependent on the caprice of the
caprice OF the monarch, and unknown
even to their families or their most in
innate friends, as no communication
was allowed the prisoners with the out
side world. Voltaire, Richelieu, and
the man in the iron mask, whose ident-
ity has never been fully established,
were among the prisoners in this
dungeon of despotism. When, in 1889,
the people of France rose in their
might to throw off the abominable yoke
of despotism, the srorming of this
dungeon was one of the first actions
taken by the enraged populace. It was
captured, ransacked, and the prisoners,
some of whom had been confined on
frivolous charges for more than thirty
years, liberated, and it's towers RACED.
On it's site now stands magnificent
column erected in memory Of the patri-
OTIS of 1889.
