Origin of Billiards.

The game of billiards was invented about the middle of the sixteenth cen tury by 70 London paWEbroker named William Kew In Wet weather this uawubroker was in the habit of taking down the three balls and with the yard measure pushing them, billiard fashion, from the counter to the stalls. In time the idea If boards with side pockets suggested itself. 4 black letter says, "Master William Kew did make one board whereby a game is played with three balls: and all the young men were greatly interested thereat, chiefly the young clergymen from St. Pawles; hence one of ye strokes was named cannon, having been by one of ye said clergymen invented. The game is now known by the name of 'bill-yards, because William or Bill Kew dId first play with the yard measure. The stick IS now called a kew" Itis easy to comprehend how "bill-yarl" has been m)dernized into "bi!liard;" and the transformation Of kew or kue, into cue IS equally apparent. American Sports.

How Harvey Died.

In the life of Harvey, prefxed to tEe beautiful edition of his works, published by the College Of Physicians in l756, there is a brief but sufficient reference to HBrvey's opinions on the most im- pOrtant of all subjects. By this we know that Harvey was an orthodox be- iiever as well as good man Almost the only fault with which he was ever reproached was thai he grew irritable nnder torture of the gout. How much he suffered from that most trying of maladies may be inferred from the fact that "he could not be prevented from plunging the affected part Tn cold water" So says pr. Akin, who also mentions "nameless report" that uD-
 ble to bear the increasing calamaties of old age, aggravated by sudden loss of sight, he poisoned himself. Needless to add the islander is utteEly without foundation" One Dr. Wilson who gave the College of Physicians an account Of Harvey's last days, tod them that "when drawing near his end, having composed his mind to all his remaining concerns, be examined his pulse as fl marking with a philosophical attention the progress Of approaching dissolution. and thus, with the utmost tranquility and resignation, yielded up his breath"

Can a Man Hibernate,

"ls 1t possible for man to hibernate? ?'
 inquired the reporter.
 'I think so," was the reply. "We
 often hear of per-OEs falling into a
 coma, and the faculties being suspended
 and the patient looking perfectly healthy
 after days and weeks without food.
 There IS no reason why the highest of
 mammals should not be open to similar
 possibilities as the lower. In fact, there
 Is a case on record of undoubted hiber-
 uatlOn. It occurred some years ago lu
 Indian. 4 native Fakir boa ted that he
 had this faculty that only certain lower
 animals possessed, and offered for a con-
 siderable sum to make the experiment.
 A number of officers and scientific men
 undertook to take charge Of the expen-
 ment. The man prepared hmseit by
 placing something in his throat, and was
 actually buried alive and kept there uu-
 Ter a guard for several months. it the
 -nd Of the time the eZperimenters dug
 Ip the body, expecting to find 1t dead, but found it perfectly fresh. and whef the object was taken from his throat the native recovered, and. in a few hours was well as ever. He merely claimed that he was enabled by force of Wlll to cause an almost total suspension of all the faculties, so much SO, at least, that there was no waste, DO drawing upon the system, and, consequently, no need of fuel food. What is the secret2 We'll, that's hard to answer. It is like a great many prObiems-we know It, and there OUT knowledge ends. The estate of IIberuatiOn is, by no means. the Girect result of heat and cold, as you would naturally suppose, but rather the -esult or a departure of temperature from the optlmun. Neither IS the nat Iral awakening from thus state ID the spring the result of increased warmth. lu experiments made upon weasels one awakened ID Q room where there vas sb- sOlutely no change from what it has been surrounded by l10O deg.

One by one the pioneers of Tucson are rendering thel1 names immort Iy identifying them with Ian marks tat wiil endure for ever. This time it is Thomas Gates, ex-street commissioner. In ms frequent trips to hIs carbonate mines in the Silver fill district. he dis covered go pass iu the Tucson mountains that makes a great saving n distance. and explored 1t. As he was the first one Go travel it, and created considerable talk about !t by his descriptions, 1t has become universally known as Gatc-' pass. The road to It leads directly back from St. Mary's hospital The pass itself Is little more than a mile long, being deep natural canyon through the high mountains. The road k natural and easy tO It on both sides. lt is estimated by engineers who have been through 1t that Sl0lO expense would do all the grading and clearing necessary to perfect the road. The ai vsntages in this new way through Gates pass would be a saving of eigh miles between Tucson and Silver Hill and a saving Of several miles between Tucson and Covered Wel!s, big item for the Gunsi-ht and Qlijotoa miners. It would be good thing for the Super visors to look into this matter. Water IS found in a natural spring on thls road eleven miles from Tucson.

Spiders Under the Skin.
From the Monthly Rose.


 Ladies who have care of use-plants will do well to remember that human tissue is as good resting place for red spiders as the tissue of plants. PrOba- ply 1t is better, being warmer. They seem to bu'row like ticks under the cuiicie, and increase amazingly. A lady whom the writer knew had occasion to remove from one part of her house to another dracsena which must have been loaded with spiders. The leaves came across her arm and shoulder; some touched her neck and face. After this she was annoyed with something like a sharp bite of insects, but finding nothing where she thought she was bit ten, and not dreaming of the cause, she was much perpleIed. She half fancied that the old-time persecution by witches had come back, or that she had some new disease. Finally she appealed to science, and the microscope revealed on her neck shoulders little colonIes of red spiders, apparently happy and in a tourishing condition. She vibrated energetically between psrlor and bath room for few days, and at length an- nounced total exterminatIon.

Power orselr pereIopment Lost.

The English has lost large part oi the primitive endings which belonged to the Anglo-Saxon. Many winch still appear in English are confined t7 the particular words that now have ther and can DO longer be used in the for nation Of new words. Only Q very few las -er. ing, ness for substaniatIves; y, -ish, for adiectives; -en, for verbs. -ly, for adverbsl continue to be used with much freedom for this purpose. So, too, many propositions and partlci- ples were once freely employed as pre- fixes in the formation of compound verbs. are no longer used in this way. From the simple verb, to stand, tne English makes understand aud with stand: the AnglO-Saxon had atstaul-l, bestandaD, bigstandaE, fo-standau. fore standRD, gestandan, OdEs.ardau, under standan, wIdhstandau, ymbstaudan. This deficiency in English is made up ID e measure by the use of separate partl- ciples, as, to stand mp, to stand of, to stand by, to stand to, etc. Still the for native system of the language has be- come greatly restricted. l. no longer possesses the unlimited power of devel- opment from it's own resources winch We see ID the Anglo-SaxOn and modern German. If new word Is wanted. in- stead of producing it from elements already existing in English, we must often go to the Latin or the Greek, and find or fashion there something that will answer the purpose. By this process our language IS plac-din a dependent posi- tion being reduced to supply it's ne, ds by borrowing. But It IS a more serious disadvantage that in order to ex- press our ideas We are obi ed to trans- late them into dead languages. The ex- of the new term, that which fits for its purpose, is hidden from those who are Unacquainted with the classic tongues; that is, m many cases, from the great body of those who are Co use it. To them it IS a group of arbitrary syllables, and nothing more. The term thus loses its suggestiveness, | and the language suffers greatly in its power Of qUicksning and aiding thought. 1

Courts and People.

It makes no difference if 5000 majority -ays one thing and the court another, the court IS right every time and the 30,00O are wrong every timei We believe in up- holding the majesty of the courts as much as any one does or should believe, but when they make such a manifest error we don't think they are very ma jsstic; they have, in fact, taken that one step from the sublime to the ridiculous. We don't believe that the courts are infallible any more than We believe .he Pope is lniallible and We think the liberties of our people are in great dan ger when We are told that we must submit to whatever the court says with out the right of questioning.
