Coop FOR A MUsEUM.-The old lady
who never spoke i'll of anyone, and even
intimated that Satan himself set some good
people an example of perseverance,, must
have been relative to the woman who
lived in Sussex, England, in the days when
the kettle was hung from the crane in an
open fireplace. An English clergyman tells
the story:
a man, whose wife was blessed with q
remarkably even temper, went over the
way to neighbor one evening and said:
"Neighbor, should like to see my wife
cross for once. I've tried all l know, and
1 can't make her cross no way"
"You can't make your wife cross?'
said his neighbor. 81 wish | could make
mine anything else. But you do just what
I tell you, and if that won't act nothing
will. You bring her in some night lo
of the crookedest sticks You can get, then
as won't lie in no form, and see how SHE
makes out them"
The pieces of wood were accordingly
brought in, as awkward and crooked and
contrary as could be found. The mar
went away early to work, and at noon re-
turned to see the results of his experiment
He was greeted with smile and the gentle
request: "Tom, do bring me in some more
of those crooked sticks, if you can fine
them; they do just fit around the kettle sc
nicely. "-Y0uth'S Companion.

OHIO Has A SHOWER OF CRABs.-FSnd-
ley, Ohio, May II, 1854 singular phen-
omenon occurred here last night during the
progress OF a storm which swept over the
city. In the northern part of tho town a
shower of fresh water crabs or crawfish fell,
covering the GROUND for several blocks.
Some of the crabs were fully three inches
long, and had extended claws which they
used most vigorously Some Of the resi-.
dents gathered up a number of the queer
cre2tnses and placed them in cans for safe
keeping. 1t is possible that the crabs were
taten up by waterspout and dropped
where they were found. IN. Y. Herald.

Francis b. Cotton Owned No Property
Until Saturday.
It was discovered on Saturday that
Franklin b. Cotton, who has been elected
a member of City Council from the Fifth
ward was not free holder in the city.
Mr.. Cotton is president of the
Atlas Dredging Company, which
owns considerable property in the
the city, but the deed for his residence is
in his wife's name. The thought of the
property qualification never crossed the
mind of Mr.. Cotton or the Republican
leaders until yesterday. In order to do
all he could to settle the matter, Mr..
Cotton purchased a house on Trenton
Place in the afternoon and the deed was
recorded by A o'clock.
The last sentence of section Of the
city charter reads: "a member of Coun-
ell must also have resided in the city two
years before his election, and must ad-
.aitionally be- at the time of his election,
a resident of the ward in which he is
elected and a freeholder in the city"
The question as to Mr.. Colton's eligi-
bility rests upon the Interpretation of the
clause ''the time Of his election" A
prominent Democratic lawyer said
this morning that in his opin
ion if Mr.. Colton owned
property at the time he received his
certificate from the Department of
Elections, there was no question as TO
his eligibility. Prominent Democrats say
there will be no contest.
