DR.. j. W. Lanius, formerly of this
city, now of Palmyra, was in Mexico
last Sunday, and says as yet he has
brought no suit against the National
Druggist, q publication in St. Louis,
for defamation of character, but will
do SO if the journal does not make q
full and complete retraction. The
DIR. was an authorized agent of the
paper at the time the libelous publi-
cation ensued, as his credentials
show, and the Druggist made a big
mistake when it sail what 1T did OF
him. The alleged offense consisted
of the DR.. not sending in the money
for a years subscription to the paper
as soon as the managers thought he
ought, hence he was branded as &
fraud. DIR, Lanius bore a gooj
reputation here, and we think is s
gentleman.

A Queer Recruiting officer.

"Recruits Wanted. U. S. Army"
said the sign, and in front of the Office
stood fine-looking soldier in new
uniform.
'How is the recruiting business7" (

"Poor enough. We are not averaging
five recruits week.
'Then your efforts at obtaining ac-
cessions to Uncle Sans army are not.
very successful"
''SuccessfulP Why, do my best to
keep people from enlisting," was the
startling response.
"That's scarcely consistent with
your position" replied.
"But it is with my conscience. 1t Is
a cat-and-dog's life, and to any likely
looking young feller that wants to join
say, Keep away, If you don't want

Human Skulls as Drinking Cups.

A writer in Longman's Magazine
has some grave suspicious about the
drinking cups used by pal@olithic men.
1t is pretty clear, he says, that the earll-
est drinking vessels used in Europe
were neither bowls of earthenware
nor shells offruits, for the cold climate
of interglaeical times did not permit
the growth in northern latitudes OF
such large natural vessels as gourds,
calabashes, bamboos, or cocoanuts.
In all probability the horns OF the
aurochs and the wild cattle and the
spacious skull of the fellow-man whose
bones he had just picked at his ease
for his cannibal supper formed the
aboriginal goblets of the old black
European savage. A curious verbal
relic of the use of horns as drinking
cups survives. indeed, down to almost
modern times in the Greek word kerr
annie, still commonly applied to the
art of pottery, and derived, of course,
from keras, horn; while as to skulls,
not only were they frequently used as
drinking cups by our Scandinavian
ancestors, but still exists a very singu-
lar intermediate vessel in which the
clay has actually been nodded on 81
human skull as model, just as Other
vessels have been nodded on calaba'
shes or other suitable vegetable shapes

Workmen's Wages in 1900.

In the great cities unskilled work
men were hired by the day, bought
their own food and found their own
lodging. But in the country, on the
farms. or wherever a hand was en-
ployed on some public work, they
were fed and lodged by the employer
and given few dollars a month. On
the Pennsylvania canals the diggers
ate the coarsest diet, were housed in
the rudest sheds, and paid Sc month
from May to November and 20 a
month from November to May. Hod-
carriers and mortar-mixers, diggers
and choppers, who from l!93 to 1900
labored on the public buildings and
eut the streets and avenues OF Wash
ington CITY, received $40 year, or, il
they wished, $50 for all the work they
could perform from March to De-
cember 20. The hours OF work were
invariably from sunrise to sunset.
Wages at Albany and New York were
three shillings, or, as money then
went. forty cents day; at Lancaster,
So to $40 a month; elsewhere in Penn
sylyania workmen were content with
Sc in summer and S5 in winter. At
baltimore men were glad to be hired
at eighteen pence a day. None, py
the month, asked more than so. AT
fredericksburg the price OF labor was
from So to 81. In Virginia white
men, employed by the year, were
given f16 currency; slaves, when
hired, were clothed and their masters
paid FL a month. Around Virginia
a pound was, in Federal money, 80. .33.
The average rate Of wages the land
over was, therefore, $65 year, with
food and. perhaps. lodging. Out of
this small sum the workman must,
with his wife's help, maintain his
family.

Ancient and Modern Shipbullding.

There seems to be a wide difference
of opinion concerning the cost of the
steamship Great Eastern, and her size
as compared with Noah's ark. The
cost of building and launching the
Great Eastern was So, $50, 900, and this
broke the original company. A new
company was formed which spent
100000 in fitting and furnishing her.
Then this company failed and new
one was organized with a capital of
S500,UC0. At the close of 1880 this
company sunk SS6,715 upon the ves-
sci, thus making her total cost S4, 703,-
675. Nothing ever built can stand
comparison with the Great Eastern ex-
cepting Noah's Ark, and even this
vessel could not match her. The
length of the ark was 800 cubits, her
breadth fifty cubts, and her height
thirty cubits, The cubic of the
scriptures, according to Bishop Wilk-
ins, was 21 65-100 inches, and COM
puted into English measurement the
the ark was 547 feet long, ninety-one
feet beam, fifty-four and seven-tenths
feet depth, and 21,762 tons. The
Great Eastern is $50 feet long, eighty
three feet beam, fifty-six feet depth,
and 2S,093 tons measurement. So
Noah's ark is quite overshadowed by
the Great Eastern.-Neao York Tribune.

A Doctor Using Carrier Pigeons

DR.. Ege has adopted novel plan to
communicate with his patients outside
of the city. He has several trained
carrier pigeons. These he takes with
him and when he has a severe case
leaves one, with instructions that in
case he is wanted quickly all tho
friends have to do is to tie note to
one of the pigeons's legs and let it n.y.
In this way he frequently receives
messages from his sick patients as to
their condition. Yesterday one Of the
birds came home from point near
Kutztown, bearing the following mes
sage: "Mother is better. but CONC
ANYHOW The doctor left Reading at
once.--Reading Eagle.

Lincoln's Second Inauguration Ball.

Ao bail Ou tnC CNOninS vi WI.
coins reinauguration, writes Ben:
Perley Poore to The Boston Budget,
was held in a large hall of the depart
ment of the interior, which had just
been completed. 1t was brilliantly
lighted and DIRE sed with flags. Mr..
Lincoln and Speaker ColfaX entered
together, followed by Mrs. Lincoln on
the arm of Charles Sumner. Mr.. Lin
coin wore full black suit, with white
kid gloves. and Mrs. Lincoln was at
tired in white silk, with splendid
overdress of rich lace, point lace
bertha and putfis of silk, white fan, and
gloves. Her hair was brushed back
smoothly, falling in ourls upon the
neck, while wreath of iasmines and
violets encircled her head. Her orna-
ments were of pearl.
Having promenaded the entire
length of the room, they mounted the
few steps leading to the seat placed
for them upon the dais, while the
crowd gathered densely In front of
them.
The army and navy were well re-
presented, adding greatly to the beau
ty of the scene in the bright uniforms
that everywhere flashed before the
eyes. Admiral Farragut, Sen. Banks,
and Gen. Hooker shone conspicuously,
as did also Gen. Halleck, who stood,
smiling and happy, to receive greet
ing from his friends. The members
of the cabinet assumed the seats upon
the dias reserved for them, and up to
II o'clock the crowd continued to
pour into the ROOM
At II o'clock the door was opened
for supper, and the crowd which had
been gathered about it for half an
hour rushed forward. Such crush
and scramble as there was! Little
screams, broken exclamatio and
hurried protestations against the rush
were heard upon all sides, but no one
needed or cared for anything but to
find place at the table, at one end OF
which stood the president, Mrs. Lin
coin, and their suite.
That supper scene was one never to
be forgotten. Aside from its luxury
and splendor, there was so much that
was ridiculously laughable connected
with it one naturally looks back upon
it in keen amusement. The tables
having been instantly filled up, all the
spaces between the glass cases con-
tanning the office property were soon
crowded to their utmost capacity.
Many fair creature dropped upon
the benches with EXPLANATIONS of de-
light, while their attendants sought
10 supply them from the table, to which
they had to fight their way. Those
who could not get seats stood around
in groups, or sank down upon the
floor in utter abandonment from fati-
que.
1t was curious TO sit and watch The
crowd; to near the gay laugh, the busy
hum of conversation, and the jingle of
plates, spoons, and glasses; to see
hands uplifted, bearing aloft huge
dishes of salads and creams, loaves of
cake, and stores of candies, not infre-
quently losing plentiful portions on
the way. Many an elegant dress re-
ceived its donation of cream, many a
tiny slipper bore away crushed sweets
and meats, and lay among fragments
of glass and plates upon the floor.

The Origin Of Lawn Tennis.



How few lawn tennis players know who
the game and where the first game
was playedf This excellent pastime has now
been In existence for ten years, aud II has
probably been greater source Of amusement
than anything OF the kind ever invented.
The originator and inventor was Mai. Walter
Wingdeld, OF Her Majssty's Body Guard, who
In 1874 wrote little book, compiled set of
rules, and coined the eutlandsh name
"Sphairistiks." The first game ever played
was in 1874, at Col. Naylor Leyland's house
in Denbighshire. The first public game ever
played In this country was at Princes Ground
In the summer Of 1875. tho players being
Major Wingfeld, Mr.. Clement Scott, Capt.
Alfred Thompson, and Mr.. Albany Erskine.
1t was openly jeered at by crowd of racket
and cricket celebrities, who did their ut
most to ridiculs the game In every way. But
In less than one month two courts were
taken at Princes for every hour in the
day, and the racket players and cricketers
had TO " sing small"

1aglioni had married Count Gilbert des
Voisins, noted rireur. Dss Voisins re-.
counted TO Houssays that he induced the
danssuse to marry him by convincing her
that the chOlera-which was then epidemic
in Paris--invariably attacked women who
lived alone. Needless to say that the
union was not very lasting. Twenty years
afterward, In 1852, Rachel aud Taglioni
were the only female guests at a banquet
given by Nj. de Morny to large party Of
friends. Des Voisins came late, and, not
recognizing Taglioni, asked iIoussaye: "Who
is that schoolmlstress at Morny's right fn
Houssaye had no fear of causing him too
acute emotion by answering, "Your wife. -
Des Voisins gathered his thoughts and
then quietly observed, "After all, per-
haps II Is" Meanwhile Taglioni, pointing
out her husband, inquired Of do Morny what
had given him the odd notion of making her
sup in such bad company.
Mermee was another wit Referring to
NJ. Viennet, OF the Academy, he observed /:
We must not speak i'll Of his tragedies. AT
the siege of Leipsic he had one on his mind
that he intended for Talma and the pitfnl of
Kings. A cannon ball riochetted against his
breast, but the tragedy saved him. The
missile had not strength enough to go beyond
