The face was completely covered BY

The Lato Bishop Peck Victim of COL
lege Bows Prank,

The recent mortal exit of the late Rev
Bishop Peck recalls an incident that
made national mirth at his expense over
thirty years ago; a clever trick of the
undergraduate boys of Dickinson Col
lege, pcrpetratcd soon after his access
sion to tho Presidency of that institu-
ton. The now distinguished Moncure
ID. Conway, then a Methodist preacher
in prospect, has the traditional credit of
being one of the deyisers of the scheme
In the Spring of 1919 the Baltimore
Methodist Conference held its annual
session in Staunton, Va, the seat of one
of the three State lunatic asylums.
While President Peck was on his way
to the conference, the young rascals in
the college wrote letter to the Super
intendent of the Staunton Asylum stat
ing that a lunatic had escaped from
confinement in Pennsylvania, very
large man, very bald-headed, with
great, round, staring blue eyes, whose
special form of mania was that he was
a Methodist preacher and President of
Dickinson College. 1t was thought
that he had gone to Staunton to attend
the conference to which he fancied he
belonged. He answered to the name
and title of Or Peck The friends
of this unfortunate gentleman would be
exceedingly obliged 10 the Staunton
Superintendent if he would watch the
cars, and, if the individual described
made his appearance, quietly take
charge of him and keep him under asy-
lum restraint till some friend could get
to him. All charges for his detention
would be promptly met. The Superin-
tendent was on hand at the time indi-
Gated, singled out his man readily, and
courteously addressed him: ''Dr. Peck,
| believer" .Yes, sir" President of
Dickinson College," Yes, sir" Il
have a carriage in waiting for you. p
you are very kind" said the unsus-
pecting stranger, as he took his seat in
the vehicle, and was forthwith whirled
off to the lunatic limbo, where he would
have been incarcerated as a dangerous
maniac, if the preachers of the confer
ence had not interfered and assured the
incredulous keeper of the Old Dominion
cranks that the FalStaflian doctor was
as sane as the average of humanity and
only the victim Of a ridiculous hoax

CARLYLE and Emerson as Letter Writers

The fine touch in Emerson's letters.
rs in his other writings, is always the
spiritual touch. For the rest, felicitous
as they are, for the most part they suf-
fer little by comparison with Carlyle's;
they are less natural, more composed,
have too studied quaintness. 1t was
his practice, apparently, to make two
drafts of these communications. The
violent color. the large. avalanche-move-
ment of Carlyle's style-as if a mass of
earth and rock and vegetation had de-
tached itself and came bouncing and
humping forward--make the efforts of
his correspondent appear little pale
and stiff There is always something
high and pure in Emerson speech how
ever, and it has often a perfect propri-
etv-seeming, in answer to Carlyle's ex-
travagances, the note of reason and jus
tice. Faith and love are apt to be
spasmodic in the best minds. Men live
on the brink of mysteries and harmon
les into which they never enter. and
with their hand on the door-lateh they
die outside. June Ce9atNra.

A gentleman of truth said this to me:
Il was in Canada some years since.
The family had just finished the usual
slaughter Of hogs and a beef, and had
hung the beef against Il pile of lumber
to cool off or freeze. A catamount (the
Indian name in New England) crept out
in the night to get piece. In pulling
down the quarter of beef he upset the
pile of lumber, which came down with
frightful noise, and he made three ire
mendous leaps from the spot. l saw
the tracks in the snow; there was not q
mark between them. | did not meas
ure the distance myself, but a man did,
and / believe correctly The first jump
was uphill, thirty feet; the second hor-
izontal to q large rock, fifty-four feet;
the third, down hill, sevcnty-two feet. >
A leap of thirty feet perpendicular to
the branch of tree, or forty foot
plunge after fatal shot, and falling
dead almost at the hunters feet have
been repeated until the veracity is not
questioned. and after making all posi-
bic allowance, we must acknowledge
there is not creature living whose leap
compared with it.
The question then comes up. iow
is this superiority over other animals at
tanned? The key we shall find in the
coiled wire spring. This spring, press
ed down on base and liberated, leaps
ahead further than any other form. The
reason is very simple. Every move
ment of substance must start from
base, unless moved by an outside force.
The cooled wire spring. when pressed
down, becomes solid mass its en-
tire length. When let loose. the first
turn jumps from its base, which is
the second; the second adds its force to
Che first, jumping from the third, and
SO in succession to the last, which adds
its force after the whole coil is flying
from the outside base of all. And this
! is precisely the case in the panther

afterwards changed to San Marco, and
later, when it came into possession of
the United States, still again changed
to Fort Marion. 1t is in charge of
Sergt. Mcclure. 1t was late in the af-
ternoon and some time after the Presi-

his parting speech, and had wound it
up by his well-known allusion to St
Augustine as 1.-THE oulde5t town in the
country, and only one that is finished, -
when one of the party asked;

DIXON SPRINGS.

This beautiful refuge from summer heat,
dust and mosquitoes, is now open
for the season. Three never-faiing
Springs OF coolest water whose medical
qualities have stood the test of
more than sixty years continual use, the
waters of each ofa different kind, serve
different purpose in bringing strength to
the feeble and health to the sick. These
Springs are in mountain valley whose
sides are of perpendicular cliffs, a hundred
feet high, jutting out here and there in
fantastic shapes resembling beasts and birds.
The woodland paths are a continual temp
tation to long and delightful rambles of
which one forgets to become weary.
AN ARTIFICIAL LAKE
for boating and fishing has been added
to the natural scenery, bounded on one side
by cliffs at whose base the water reaches
depth of ten to fifteen feet and the other is
a gradual slope from the hills, the whole
covering several acres of ground.
"No. II the "Iron Spring"has properties
that are unsurpassed as tonic and is almost
aspeciic for malaria.
"No. 2" the"Magnesia, is never. failing
remedy for dyspepsia, and liver or kidney
troubles, and the "Alum Spring" does
the best service as wash for eruptions or
disease of the skin.
A new bath house is by no means the
least among the latest additions.
The cottages have been thoroughly renova.
ted the beds are furnished with mattresses
and springs; new cottages have boon built {;
tho dlning-room is large and airy and the
kitchen is in charge Of tlrst.class steam.
boat cook all, for the summer, at $500 per
week; children under 10 years, second or
separate table, half price.
Parties from Cairo can take an early
breakfast at home or at Vienna and arrive
at the Springs in time for dinner; fare
across by hack rs cents or by private con-
voyance for three or more 75cts. to $l.OO,
trunks extra. j. II. Lemen, Prop.
