The phenomenon of latent heat was
first inquired into by DIR. Black, of
Scotland, nearly 13O years ago. His at
tention was directed to the subject by

ture until all the ice had disappeared.
William was Tender.-A stranger at
Fort Scott, Kan, got into dispute with
William Davis about the weather and

Each of the justices OF the Federal
Supreme court is allotted body servant
who is paid out of the contingent fund
of the court. These servants report

attend constantly during the day. They
shave the justices, do their errands and
occasionally act as coachmen for them.
Each Justice is also furnished with a
private secretary.

The Anxious Mother.-"It is really
hard now to know what to do with ones
children. | think we will send little
Emile to the Polytechnic and let him go
into the railroad business" "Well,
should be very careful before deciding
on that. You see, he might get to be
station-master and have to live in the
station, and then suppose that his wife
could not bear the sound of the engine
whistle! That would be very bad. -

"A great traffic is being carried on
this season over the road between the
Caucasus and Odessa. From the Cau-
casian districts large quantities of cot
ton, rice, l1ishmish Wits apyrena, seed
less raisins), and almonds are shipped
from Odessa, sugar iron, flour and fine
groceries. During the summer and the
autumn large stores of Persian kishnish
of superior quality were accumulated
in Batoom, and the article is now in de-
mand in the foreign market
-Charterhouse, Thac<eray's old
school, and the scene of the immortal
Colonel Newcome's death, has for II
long time been the possessor of the
original MS. of The Newcomes, the gift
of Thackerays daughter. There is also
preserved there the bedstead on which
the novelist slept during the last years
of his life. Most of the school sketches
and MSS. by him, which were recently
sold in London, have also found their
way back to Charterhouse.
AT the beginning of King Phillips
War, in Colonial times, King Philip had
a coat or cape made of bits of shells or
wampum. This was considered of great
value among the Indians all over New
England because each little shell-bead
in it was in their eyes a piece of money.
Indeed, if a man of our day should have
a coat made entirely of gold dollars
strung upon threads and woven to-
gether, it would have the same value to
us that Phillips she'll coat did to the
Indians. But when the war began he
bravely cut his precious garment in
pieces and used the wampum to hire
warriors of other tribes to fight for him
The Hamburg Board of Trade, in
its report for 1890, takes sides with the
! American pig thus: I'VE have always
regarded as insufficient the testimony
as to the Embellishments of American
pork We have been confirmed in this
opinion recently by the results of the
investigation of experts to the effect
that the English laborer, with his diet
of cheaper American pork, has numer
Gus economic advantages over the Ger
man laborer, with his diet of more ex
pensive Continental pork. We have
therefore willingly done as requested
and have affixed our names to a petition
for the abolishing of the prohibition O:

The chrysanthemum has long his
tory, dating back, in Europe, to the
year 1910, when it was brought int
Holland from China, under the supposi
ton, afterward disproved, that it haC
valuable medical properties. The plan
is native to China, Japan and Northern
India, and the flower is the seal of ia
pan. Hence it is often called '"rht
Mikado Flower" The Japanese annu
ally observe November Is as "Tht
Feast of Chrysanthemums," and il
America nearly every city has day fol
"A chrysanthemum display. The higl
favor in which the flower is held is du,
not only to its beauty of form ant
variety of color, but to its CHEEKY readi
ness to prolong the summer and max,
