DUBLIN, Oct. 1.-The appeal of Dillon
and O'Brien and their fellow accused to
the high court Of justice for writ to pro-
hibit the magistrates at Tipperary from

Tipperary made some damaging admis-

he was in the court house and, attracted
by the noise, rushed out with a revolver
and stick into the middle Of the crowd,
where he used his stick vigorously. He
says he must have struck half dozen
persons, while he himself received no
blow. He was in plain clothes at the
time and was employed TO take notes in
shorthand.

A Human Stone Eater.

At Avignon, France, in 1850, human
stone eater was ON exhibition for some
time. He was not freak" or "fakir,"
but real wild lnasticator of stones,
found on an island between Iceland and
the Swedish coast. He not only swal-
lowed flints an inch or more in length,
but reduced marbles, small pebbles and
other rocks to powder with his power
full teeth. Royal society physicians ex-
amined him and found his gullet very
large and his saliva strong and .corro-
sive. He would eat raw flesh with the
stones, but could not be prevailed upon
to swallow bread or other victuals. lie
would drink water, but much preferred
brandy, and while under the influence
of the liquor required twice his usual
amount of stony food When not eating
or sleeping he smoked continually, sit
ting with one leg over the other, giving
no heed to those passing around him.
The hints he swallowed were, when
voided, corroded and much diminished
in weight, the rest of the excrement re-
sembling pure mortar. Heneyer learned
to pronounce but few words and soon
died.-St Louis Republic.

The Cotton in the Air.

Theplayers form airing and join hands.
A small bit of jewelers. cotton or light
feather is then thrown into the air, and
they try, by blowing it upward, to keep
it from falling. If they blow too hard,
the cotton is driven away; il too gently,
it falls, and the game is finished. The
interest consists in directing it, if possi-
BILE, to one or other of the players, who
pays a forfeit if it falls before her. All
this must be done without letting go of
hands. The game may also be played
sitting round table.-Ladies' Home

twenty three inches across. They are

a wonderful perfume. The stems and

of the floating leaves, and child years

Improved Dumbbell.

H. athletic exercise, which now plays
such prominent part in hygienic cult,
the old notion of severe laborious ex-
ertion at the outset has been utterly ex-
ploded, and modern science has decided
that light and very gradually increasing
tasks are productive of the best and most
lasting results. In dumbbrlls of the
usual construction the athlete must have
a large assortment of gradually increas-
ing sizes, and unless a great many are
kept the transition to a heavier pair can
not be made in the moderate gradation
that is advisable To meet this contin-
gency an improved dumbbell has been
devised Itconsists of two hollow wood
en- shells through which the handle
passes. These balls can be the receivers
of large or small quantity of sand or
shot as may be desired, and thus the
weight of the dumbbell can be graduated
with the greatest nicely. New York

why Some Cheap Books Do Not Sell.

Why Some Cheap Books Do Not Sell.
"Since have been in business have
learned great deal about the public
taste in reading matter" said a promi-
nent newsdealer, "and if the publishing
houses would follow the hints we could
give there would be fewer unsuccessful
books put upon the market.
"The paper covered novel has been
very successful for some years, and now
there isn't publisher in the country who
doesn't issue series Inasmuch as sew
eral of these books are published every
day, of course very few attain a sale
of any consequence. In most cases this
is the fault of the book, but | could cite
instances where the failure was due to
cupidity or lack of foresight on the part
of the publisher.
"These novels sell for twenty-five or
fifty cents, according to the length. There
is no intermediate price Some publish
ers, taking advantage of this, have pad
ded twenty ive cent novel and charged
fifty cents for it. This padding is all
done in the printing. Extra heavy paper
is used and the type is set in narrow
columns. The book seems to Contain a
good deal, but the purchaser soon sees
that he has been humbugged, and after
ward; always examines more than the
cover of the novel he buys. The wide
margin, so dear to the heart of the book
lover, is frowned upon by the novel
reader. Often when he opens such a
book in hurry the wide margin gives
him the impression that it is poetry,
and he drops it in a hurry. Nothing
could exceed in intensity the novel read
er's dislike to poetry. New York

DREAMING AND HOPE.
The rosy wings of fancy

The rosy wings of fancy
Are folded now In rest,
And hope has hushed her dreaming
To sleep within my breast
And cold and cruel reason
Has whispered unto me
II hope and fancy vanish
What life would surely be
If dreams be dead. no matter
II hope should linger still,
Sweet peace will fan her pinions
And soften ev'ry I'LL
But if the nope should perish.
And slip from life away,
A cloudy day this life, then,
With morn and eve OF gray.
With no bright sun ut noontime
To pierce the heavy pail,
To brighten win its glowing
The shadows over all.
And life would be undoubted,
A living but TO be!
Existence in all phases
A mere necessity.
Then wake, my sleeping fancy,
And hope awake to smile,
And slumber not forever,
But soothe my life awhile.
Sweet fancy, plume your pinions,
To soar the rosy sea,
Fly forth, o blessed hoping.
And bring my joys to me.
