A peddler who has just returned from Win
ston county, Ala, tells a story which, if not
true, evinces an imaginative power which no
one would ever suppose him to possess.
A farmer named Greene while in town was
persuaded to buy few Chinese lily bulbs,
which will grow if placed in a bottle or jar.
They resemble in appearance a diminutive
steers head, and sell on the streets for a mere
trife.
Farmer Green took a fancy to them and
bought dozen of them. When he reached
home he had no bottle or jar to put them in
and threw them into the hog lot with bucket
of spoiled potatoes,
A few days afterward one of his largest
hogs became sick, refusing food and laying
down in corner, grunted as if in constant
pain No signs of disease could be discovered,
but a few days later the hog died. The cause
of death was discussed in the usual family
council around the supper table and 1t was
finally concluded best to cut up the hog and
find out, if possible, whether or not the dis
ease was contagious
This was done and the cause of death was
instantly apparent. The animal had swal
lowed a Chinese lily bulb whole and there
was sufficient moisture In the stomach tc
cause it to grow. The bulb had not only
swelled and sprouted, but leaves had actually
formed The animal was not adapted to the
purposes of a flower garden and died. -Phila.

Cnlnmhns, Letter.

The letter of Christopher Columbus to
Queen Isabella of Spain, purchased by Judge
Chamberlain for the Boston Public library
at the auction of the Barlow collection Of
Americana in New York, is Latin transla-
ton Of the original letter in Spanish. 1t is a
quarto, bou nd in morocco antique, with gilt
edges, by Bedford, printed at Rome in 1493.
1t consists of four leaves, Of thirty-four lines
to a full page-the size Of the leaf being
S9Sx516 inches. And very fine copy 1t is.
No copy of the original Spanish letter has
yet been found, either in manuscript or
print, SO that this Latin translation by
Leander de Cosco takes precedence. 1t is
fairly established to be printed in the types
of Stephen Planck of Rome, though without
year or place
Halrisse, certainly the best authority on
that subject, has accorded this particular i'm
preston the place of honor, and as a copy
now in Germany is held at the price of 81, 600,
there seems to be little doubt that this is
valued as the edito princeps The price paid
by Judge Chamberlain for this particular
copy was $4,000. A perfect translation of
the letter may be found In Majors 'Select
Letters of Columbus" one of the publications
of the Hakluyt society.
There is, besides thls edlto prlncepS, a copy
of De Cosco's translation, presumptively the
third appearance Of the latter, printed at
Rome in the types of Stephen Planck in 1893.
This edition comprises thirty-three lines to a
full page, which measures S9sx536 on the
leaf 1t is in size a quarto, and bound in
vellum with rough edges. In 1858 Pilinski
reproduced twenty copies in Paris, But after
the issue it was discovered that it was fac
SMILED from an imperfect copy and wanted

The Spiders of India.

Far up in the mountains of Ceylon and
India there is a spider that spins web like
bright, yelowish silk the central net Of
which is five feet in diameter, while the sup
porting lines, or guys, as they are called,
measure sometimes ten or twelve feet; and
riding quickly in the early morning you may
dash right into it, the stout threads twining
around your face like a veil, while, as the
creature who has woven 1t takes up his posi-
ton in the middle, he generally catches you
right on the nose, and though he seldom bites
or stings, the contact of his large body and
long legs is anything but pleasant. If you
forget yourself and try to catch him, bite he
will, and, though not venomous, his jaws are
as powerful as birds beak, and you are not
likely to forget the encounter. In many UNI
frequented dark hooks Of the jungle you
come across most perfect skeletons of small
birds caught in these terrible snares, the
strong folds of which prevent the delicate
bones from falling to the ground after the
wind and weather have dispersed the flesh
and feathers Exchange.

Some Causes Of Deafness.

DIR. Francis Bowling, in paper which he
read at recent meeting Of the Cincinnati
Academy of Medicine, stated that between
the ages of 10 and 40 at least one person In
three is subject to partial deafness. The
great majority of cases of impaired hearing
date from childhood and its diseases At
least one-fifth of the cases of impaired hear
ing are hereditary, and are largely owing to
a too close consanguinity Of the parents
Deafness is more prevalent among males than
among females, owing to the fact that the
male is more exposed to the vicissitudes of
climate. There is much more deafness in
America than in Europe, and this is due to q
more general use of scientific instruments,
such as telephones, where one ear is used to
the exclusion of the other. Philadelphia

One of the large clothing establishments in
Broadway was selling off large stock of
winter overcoats at 81 apiece, and was hav-
ing a run on them, for they were easily worth
$40. The day the sale opened bright and
well looking young man entered the store
and purchased one of the cheap garments.
On the following day he came back and
bought another. He kept this up every day
for a week, ard then, his strange act becom-
ing noticeable to the clerks, it was decided
that no more oyercoats should be sold to him.
One morning the young man came into the
store for his ninth overcoat and was politely
informed that he could have no more for the
low prices at which he had been buying
them.

Candymaker'S Good WORD Tor candy
"Candy is not unwholesome If it is made of
pure sugar and harmless coloring and flavor
ing,n said a Fulton street sugar baker
sugar, you know, is very nourishing, and if
people with sweet teeth would only eat candy
as il should be eaten the dentists in New
York would have less work to do. Candy
should be absorbed, not mastcated, and you
can always detect Impurities in candy by
sucking it. If it ispure sugar it will all melt
slowly in your mouth, but if any sediment
remains you may be satisfied that you have
eaten impure candy. However, rs "A rule,
even adulterated candy is not injurious, be-
cause flower or corn starch are usually the
ingredients used to increase the quantity,
and, beyond destroying the flavor, they dc
not materially mjure the quality
always choose brown candy if you can.
1t is much more likely to be pure than the
green, or the pink or red, or even the white.
Never crunch it between your teeth. Allow
the natural heat of the mouth to dissolve il
and don't attempt to chew it as though ii

Michael Angelo Was Slow.

Probably one of the liveliest parties which
ever visited Europe from this country was
the one composed of members of the old Owl
club, of this city. Those who composed it
were Tom Kirkwood, Fred Stanley, Harry
Billings Scott Linn and Beverly Chambers.
Poor Chambers and Linn have died since,
This little party was given grand banquet
at the Owl clubs rooms on the eve Of their
departure, and were made to lie in flowers
and battle i'll wine.
1t was no limited, Cooks tourist party,
and each man took his ''rolln with him, bent
upon seeing the Old World thoroughly. They
had their own special guide everywhere. In
Rome they engaged the most expert courier
and took in all of the celebrated art galleries.
In one of these the courier paused in front of
an old painting and said, impressively, as he
pointed at the canvas: "That is by Michael
Angelo. 1t took him nine years to paint it"
The boys regarded it intently. you don't
mean to tell me that it took Mike nine years
to paint that" said Stanley, finally. "Ittook
Michael Angelo that time to paint it," said
the guide "Well, )" said Fred I'm lay 100 to
that Hank Milligan could have painted it
in three days" The courier said he had never
heard Of him. Never heard of Hank Mill
gam" exclaimed Stanley. "Well, he may
not be known here in Rome, but every one in
Chicago knows him. He's a sign painter"
If the guide had not been getting extra large
pay he would have quit the party in disgust,
as he really loved art.-Chicago Herald.

nCheer. Rows. Cheer"

Many of the songs of the late DIR. Charles
Mackay obtained a popularity such as the
works of other verse writers of his age never
secured The two famous songs, "Theres
good time coming, boys" and "Cheer, boys,
cheer"-songs which are known wherever
the English language is spoken-were written
by Dr. Mackay. The second of these has
connected with its popularity very curious
story, and one which is well worth recalling.
During the Indian mutiny Mana Sahib found
the song-or, perhaps, we should rather say,
the melody to which it was set-of great use
In encouraging his troops when in action
Stranger STILL he ordered the band to strike
up this air while his unhappy victims were
being slaughtered in the assembly rooms be-
fore being thrown into the well at Cawnpore.
1t can hardly be wondered that the author,
as he himself tells us in his memoirs, from
that time never cared to recall his compost
ton. The world at large, however, ignores,
or more probably has never realized the Sin-
lister associations attached to "Cheer, boys,
cheer" and to this day the tune is favorite
one with the passengers on the emigrant
ships that leave Liverpool for America or
the colonies. Montreal Star.

idea Of your wife being your stepmother at
the same time, and your fathers wife being
his daughter-in-law-oh no, it won't do"
The Senior, however, was in earnest, and
then learned one of the peculiar customs in
vogue in the South American republic.
AS matter of policy or convenience it had
been necessary that Senior Obando should
marry his aiTianced, and therefore the neces-
sary instructions were wired to Panama, con-
veyed thence down the Magdalena river to
the port, and thence by muleback to the
capital In the same manner the news of
the ceremony was conveyed back to San
Francisco, and Senior Obando was a duly mar
ried man,
Marriages Of this sort are by no means in
frequent among the Spanish-American peo-
tives of either prospective bride or groom.
An intimate friend, in fact, may perform the
office, though in the latter case it sometimes
happens that the friend betrays his trust and
the fond, absent husband returns home tc
find himself divorced.
These marriages are perfectly legal, and
are recognized by the church, They are
somewhat like Grinding slips in insurance

How the Lark Sings.

The lark ascends until it looks no larger
than nudge and can with difficulty be seen
with the unaided eye, and yet every note
viii be clearly audible to persons who are
fully half mile from the nest over which
the bird utters its song. Moreover, it never
ceases to sing for a moment, a feat which
seems TO be wonderful to us human beings,
who find that song of six or seven minutes
in length, though interspersed with rests and
pauses, is more than trying. Even prac-
iiced public speaker, though be can pause at
the end of each sentence, finds the applause
Of the audience a welcome relief. Moreover,
the speaker and singer need to use no exer-
ton save exercising their voices. Yet the
bird viii pour out continuous song of nearly
twenty minutes in length, and all the time
has to support itself liz the air by the con-
slant use of its wiDgs.-Good Words

African Spears.

The largest but not the most interesting
feature of Herbert Wards African collection
is seen in the sheaf of spears. He has collected
a startling number of them. Each tribe has
distinctive kind of spear, and the spears re-
semble or differ from each other according to
the distance which separates the tribes They
bear pretty close general resemblance,
however, since all are made with wooden
handles and leaf shaped iron blades. Many
of the tribes have a small spear for active
business and large one for dress parade
