stairs clock. While he was at work
Mr.. Ewing's cat, very intelligent ami
NAL, jumped upon the table on which
the clock stood and closely watched all
that was done. After the clock had
been fixed and made to strike again
the cat disappeared. Some time later
the clock up stairs was heard to strike.
The members of the family, in great
surprise, FASTENED up stairs and were
astonished to find that the cat had
opened the clock door and, by insert
ing its paws among its works, had
actually overcome the obstacle to its
running. They stood and watched it
and saw it strike the pendulum with
one of its front paws, just as the tinker
had done with the downstairs clock.
The cat did not set the hands, for the
reason, perhaps, that it did not know
the precise time. -Johnsto,on Pa TIT

Romans never used handkcrchIefs, ana
their noses, rs we all know, were OF
the largest aud finest type. Moreover.
they were less liable to-. colds in the
head than are people of the present
time, and their noses enjoyed almost a
sinecurc. AS civilization advanced
northward from Italy the inhabitants
of the cold and variable climate of
northern Europe found that their noses
were constantly called into activity,
and as consequence the average
European nose fell below the Roman
standard. Within modern times the
handkerchief was invented, and new
aud potent factor in the reduction Of
noses thus came into existence. Con-
slant friction will wear away the hard
est stone, much more the soft and car
.ilaginous nose. Under tho friction of
handkerchicfs the noses of the present
century have steadily diminished, until
small noses arc worn almost rs much
rs spcctacles
1t is question whether it is desirable
ever to reduce the size of the nose.
Greatness of intellect has in all ages
been closely allied TO greatness of nose,
and the man who, having been gifted
by nature with nose of true nobility,
should desire to dwarf it and his intel
lect ut the same time, would deserve
no assistance in his foolish purpose

The Benders Recalled.

Mrs. Willis Williford, widowed lady
of Athens, lost her youngest brother ut
the hands of the Benders, who figured
so prominently in the annals of crime
few years ago. This young man liv-
ed in Kansas, about forty-cight miles
from the Benders, and taking with him
several hundred dollars in money, he
started for the frontiers with the in
tention of specializing in land. He
travelled in q two-horse wagon, and it
seems that on the second day he reach
ed the cabin where the Bendcrs ran n
hotel and sort of saloon. He was alb
sent so long that his family grew I'M
easy, and instituted search for him,
but the missing man could not be
traced beyond his second days travel.
While tho Blenders were looked upon
as bad characters, nothing criminal
was known against them, and hence
no suspicion of foul play at their hands
was entertained. 1t was year and q
half after his disappearance that sever
al travellers stopped ut the Bender
house, among them a lady. who was
put to sleep in an upper room with a
small window overlooking an orchard.
During the night she was aroused by
some noise outdoors, and looking out
saw several persons burying an object.
The moon gave pale light, and to her
horror she discovered that the parties
were interring human body. She
was near enough to hear what they
said, and discovered from their CONVEX
sation that they had just murdered one
of their guests, and intended to attend
to the lady next. She was thoroughly
frightened, but managed somehow to
escape into the woods, and make her
way to the nearest settlement, where
she told her story. A posse was at
once organized, and started for the
scene of the murder, but the Bendcrs
had evidently gotten word of their dis
covcry and only a vacant house was
found upon the arrival of the officers.
The romantic escape of these criminals
is too we'll known to be related by us.
They have never been captured, and
doubtless escaped for good, although
numerous reports of their capture and
death have been published. In search
ing the house n trap-door was found
near the bar counter, which was sprung
when stranger stepped upon il, throw
ing him into dark cellar. Here he
was knocked in the head by the father,
while his daughter would cut the VIC
TINS throat with knife. The body
was then buried in the orchard, and tho
spot plowed over so rs to oblterate all
signs of a grave. In this orchard was
found the bodies of ten grown persons
and one child, all with their skulls
crushed and throats cut. Mrs. Will
ford's brothers body was recognized
by tho color of the hair. and garment
buttons, although it had been eighteen
months since he was buried.-Athens

Decline of tho Nose.

Someone has invented n process for
the reduction of large noses. The in
ventor was struck by the alleged fact
that noses on which spcctacles are
worn are, as rule, small noses. He
thereupon formulated the theory that
the pressure of the spectacles on the
bridge of the nose interferes with the
free circulation of blood and that this
interference deprives the nose of nour-
ishment and prevents its growth. In
accordance with this theory he now
proposes to reduce the size of any given
nose by placing metallic clamp on the
bridge. This clamp, if worn every
night, will, as he believes, reduce the
largest nose to moderate proportions
within reasonable length of time.
There arc two or three weak points
about this alleged invention. One of
these is that the theory on which it is
founded has no support in fact Some
of our most eminent noses are those on
which spectacles have been worn for q
lifetime, and among our smallest noses
are some on which spectaclcs never
have rested. That spectacles of one
sort and another are worn much moro
generally now than they were fifty
years ago, and that noses have un-
doubtedly grown. smaller during the
same period, is undoubtedly true, but
1t does not follow that there is any con-
nection between the two facts.
The gradual decline of the human
nose is the result of the. introduction
and general use of handkerchiefs. The

A Thousand Pounds to One.

Nearly every one who has played

Marlborough hand-that is. hand in
which there is no card above nine.
Pembridgc says he has held three OF
these hands in the course of two hours;
but this is, of course, altogether unus-
ual. The name given to hand of this
sort is derived from certain Lord Var
borough, who used to offer the attrac-
tive but really very safe wager of
FL, 600 TO IL that hand of this sort
would not be dealt If Lord Var
borough had not calculated the chances,
Cor had them calculated for him. he
acted with little wisdom in betting ut
all on such Il matter; but if he knew
them he acted with little fairness in
Offering the odds he did. 1t will be
found that one hand in about 1928 is a
Marlborough, so that Lord Marlborough
ought to have wagered, E1,S27 to IL
instead of 81, COO to Fl. 1t is said that
he laid this wager many thousands OF
times. Surprising he offered Gl, 200 to

in each of 10 years, making in all about

he would have lost about 20 times, or
100000, and won about f36, 800, max
ing clear profit of about f16,50), or
91,650 per annum, by this seemingly
reckless system of wagering. An in
stance, lastly, is OH record of n hand
containing four twos, four threes, four
tours, and one five. Any one holding
such hand might we'll believe himself
especially selected for punishment by
the deities or demons, whoever they
may be, who preside over the fortunes
of whist players. Yet such hand is
bound to occur from time to time, when
so many play whist. The chance of
holding such hand is, in fact, exactly
the same as the chance of holding all
the trumps, viz, one in 1853, 1853, 389, 600.
For there are only four possible ways in
which such hand can be made up.
1t must hold the IL lowest cards in the
pack, and one five, which may be of
any of the four suits; hence there are
four hands having no card higher than
a five out of 635, 013, 559, 600, or one
chance of such hand in 1853, 1853, $780,
900. Yet have no manner of doubt
SO foolish are men in regard to betting
that if Lord Marlborough of to-day
were to offer f1o,OOO to FL Gnstead Of
E158, 1853, 389, 900 to ELY against the
occurrence of such hand he would
find many takers. a. Proctor,

Then comes sensation of fulness in

that the mucous membrane of the nose

MAD STUDENTS.
The University Boys Hold s. Meeting
to Express Ehetr DAsApprOVal
Of the Ffeuffer SilI.


Young blood is ever prone to rash
ness. In the enthusiasm of youth,
things will often be said and done
that the soberer Judgment of older
heads are bound to condemn. The in
PRODUCTION of Senator Pfeuffer's bill
relating to the.university was sig
nal of anger among the students, per-
haps without a single exception. 1t
is understood that they intended to
hold an indignation meeting" and
denounce the author Of the measure.
1t was even said that in their wrath,
these Texas boys intended to burn the
sage senator from New Braunfels in
effigy. This would have been very
wrong; besides, it wouldn't have been
right, to use one of Mark TWain's IA
cetious phrases.
But some of the elders in the insti-
tuition got wind of the affair and per-
suaded the boys not to. They did
hold a meeting, however. No doubt
things were said that the man from
Comal would not have approved had
he been present. Remarks made ia
the 'heat of passion" perchance, that
the senator would willingly have
omitted from any biographical sketch
in which he figured as principal. Yet
this was all. No scathing resolu-
tions were offered to the effect that
the author of the bill, in any way, re-
sembled an animal noted for its long
ears and powerful voice. They didn't
even bring deliberations artful All"
into play and dub it Pfeuffer's folly.
But all the same there was stern
and unyielding feeling of resentment
pervading the souls of the university
men. They have put themselves on
record. They are forninst the bill.
They are right.
