Thou p,est ON Point OF Fox.

Fox blades were celebrated all through
the Sixteenth and Seventeenth centuries
for their excellent temper, and mention
of them is frequent in English drama.
This is their history: There was a GER
tain Julian del Rel. believed to be a
Morisco. who set up forge at Totedo in
the early part of the Sixteenth century
and became famous for the excellence of
his sword blades, which We're regarded
as the best of Toledo. That city had
for many ages previous been renowned
for sword making, it being supposed that
the Moors introduced the art, as they did
so many good things, from the east.
Julian del Refs mark was little dog,
which came to be taken for fox, and
so the fox blade" or simply fox" for
any good sword. See Henry "" act
iv., scene 4. .sThou diest on point of
fox" The brand came to be initiated IN
other places, and there are Solingen
blades of comparatively modern manu-
facture which still bear the little dog of
Julian del Rei.-Notes and Queries

rradition of scot1and.s Tht.tle...


Queen Scotia had led her troops in a
well fought battle, and when the day
was won retired to the rear to rest from
her tolls. She threw herself upon the
ground where, as i'll luck would have it.
a bristly thistle grew. Whether the fair
amazon fought in the national costume
Of Scotland or not the tradition fails to
say, but at any rate the spines of the Of
Tending plant were sufficiently powerful
to penetrate the skin in a very painful
manner. A proverbial philosopher has
said that '..he that sitteth upon nettles
riseth quickly" and the same remark
holds good with thistles.
Queen Scotia sprang to her feet and
tore the thistle out by the roots. She
was about to cast it aside, when it struck
her that the prickly herb would hence
forth be ever associated in her mind with
the glorious victory which she had just
gained. Her intention was changed. She
placed the thistle in her cask, and it be-
came the badge of her dynasty.-St.

Girls Are Afraid of Candy Now.


If there is anything in this great and
glorious republic of ours that girl likes
better than any other one thing it is candy
Even the young man who unwillingly
yields the major portion of his salary to
her in the purchase of it can't hold a can
die to this sweet competitor. He puts, as
it were, a rival in the field to steal away
his gains. He hates to do it, too, worse
than he hates to get up at a. NJ, after
sitting up until II or l3 a. m. helping her
to eat it. He hates it not only because it
is his rival but because he knows that the
manufacturer is making about 10000 per
cent. net on every pound that is sold. Cupid
or no Cupid
OF course, in these figures reference is
had to these candies that come in tucks
and frills and satin boxes and bags, which
are the only brands veteran candy girl
will accept. But the young mans turn
has come now, and the candy manufac-
turer will have to suck pebble for sweet
enin' while the young man grins.
The girls are scared, and they won't eat
candy. any more, because last week New
Jersey yonng woman, on visit to Wash
ington, received box of candy from her
''beau" as she was leaving the national
capital to nibbleon daintily as she hustled
homeward. She got home before the box
was ,emptied, and then she hit it again.
But.it.was one time too many, and the ap-

and blew pearly teeth, and jaw bone splin-
ters, and rosy checks, and dimpled chin
and cherry lips, and peachblow skin all
over the town of New Horeb and clear out
into the suburbs.
Nobody who saw the dreadful sight had
the slightest idea that there was so much

out of it. that could be got in the brief timt

Government in compstition.

1t is perhaps not generally known that
Montreal has the cheapest telephone
service on the continent today. But so
it is, and the increase in the number of
persons now having telephones in their
residences and offices has been exceed
ingly large since the rates were lowered
to twenty-five dollars in both residences
and offices by the Bell Telephone COM
pany. The Federal Telephone company
has at present almost $500 city sub
scribers, their prices being thirty-fve
dollars for offices and twenty-five dollars
for private residences, while the Bell, in
the city alone, have about 5000. The
latter company are increasing their sub
scribers at about the average rate of over
hundred a month, while the Federal
company's list of patrons is also steadily
on the increase. Think of it, twenty
five dollars year when we here in Bos-
ton pay $125 year, or five times as
much. Boston Transcript.

A Little Georgia Volcano.

Mr.. Henry Gartrell, living about ten
miles from Ellijay, Ca, says there is a
tree on the mountain above the large
cliff of marble on the line of the Marietta
and North Georgia railroad that has
been burning for five months.
The latter part of last October the
woods were being burnt off, and an old
hollow tree caught fire. About three
weeks thereafter he saw the fire and
found that the tree had been almost con-
sumed, and the ground appeared to be
ablaze. He has watched it continuously
ever since, and can see the fire better on
rainy night.
Sunday he took long rod of iron and
some water and poured the water in the
hole, but it did not extinguish it. He
then ran his iron rod down about five
feet through the cinders and got some
out. The whole mass in the hole is red
hot, and the material when taken out
is very much like shop cinders, but after
being exposed for few hours it slacks
like lime. 1t is very strong with alkali
and smells like sulphur. Gilmer county
may have young volcano.-Cor. At

English Hospital Statistics.

Taking the quantity of medicine used
at st. Bartholomew's hospital, London,
as a fair criterion Of the medicine used
per patient, the quantities of medicine
used every year In the hospitals of this
country are as follows: Ointment, $4,000
pr DIS; cod liver and castor oils and va
rious kinds of mixtures and lotions, etc.,
100, no gallons upward of half million
nils, and between thirty and forty tons
of linseed. Mr.. FL. G. Burdett estimates
that tie hospitals of the kingdom have
invested property worth ten millions.
Their income is nearly a million and a
quartz, per annum-
The expenditure per bed varies most
strangely. 1t is least in Scotland and
greatest in an Irish institution. At
Westrnilter it is only e70 per bed; at
Universit College hospital it is e110 per
bed; at tie Royal Surrey County hospi-
tai it is Ell; at the Devon and Exeter
e51, and Mout the same at the South

A Big Estate and No Heir.

The estate of the late Mrs. Wilson C.
Swami, of 1919 Walnut street, will
amount, it is said, to 5000 900, and for
this vast wealth there appear to be nc
heirs. The magnificent property at 1,51S
Walnut. street, with its inestimable
wealth of paintings, sculpture, carvings
and curios, will be sold at an early date.
The house was planned by DIR. Swami and
built in 1857. In past years it was the
scene of many princely entertainments,
and although Mrs. Swami was afflicted
with form of nervous prostration which
confined her to her apartments and pre-
vented her attendance to social duties, it
was her wish that these entertainments
should be continued. Probably no es-
tablishment in Philadelphia was main
tained on more lavish scale during DR..

Manuscript of Home, Sweet Home. .


The death of Mrs. Asa Jackson in Ath-
ems, Ga, has brought up once again the
much talked of mystery of the where
abouts of the original of John Howard
Payne's Home, Sweet Home"
Mrs. jackson was near relative of
Miss Mary Hardin, who was much ad-
mired by John Howard Payne. For
long time Miss Hardin had the only
known copy of the famous song in the
handwriting of its author. When she
was dying several years ago in Athens it
was rumored that in one of her eccentric
moods she had willed the copy to be
buried with her, but when asked on her
deathbed if this were true she told Mrs.
jackson that she had not done so, but
had left the manuscript, as well as all
her other earthly goods, as a bequest to
her.
After Miss Hardin's death the manu-
script was searched for by Mrs. jackson,
but was not found. Only few days ago
reporter called on Mrs. jackson and
asked if nothing had ever come of the
search.
Nothing yet" was the reply, "but l
hope to find it before L die. Mary kept
the copy concealed all the time while
she lived. John Howard Payne sent it
to her when he was consul to Algiers,
and between the lines were written lit
tie love messages. They were sweet
hearts once, these two. Mary was offered
tempting sums for the manuscript in her
lifetime by publishers, but would never
part with it.
Several lawyers have lately been to
me to get my permission for them to
ferret out the whereabouts of the manu-
script, but l have refused to let them
take the case. feel certain that it will
come to light before die"
1t is generally believed that the manu-
script will some time be- found. Some
think that the copy, which was known to
be the only one extant written by Payne
himself, was stolen from the house by a
servant. t.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
