Sir Frederick Leighton, Bart, P. r.
A, is at present enjoying himself in the
beautiful town of Perugia, the air of
which is most invigorating. Electric
light is being laid in the presidents
house, in Holland Park road. The splen-
did eastern hall, paved with tiles from
Damascus, with the fountains and
couches of exquisite workmanship, will
now be lit By the electric light. So will
the drawing room, with its fine speci-
mems of Corot's paintings representing
the seasons, and the handsome dining
room. The large studio, with its price
less treasures, will be properly illumi-
mated.
The fountain at one time had no rail
ing. One evening after one of Sir Fred
erick Leighton's epicurean feasts, the
hall not being sufficiently lit, several of
the academicians stepped into the foun-
tain and got thoroughly wet; a popular
painter had to borrow a pair of the
presidents trousers, much to the amuse-
ment of his brethren of the brush, as
the garments did not fit him; but the
strong electric light will put an end to
any more of these uncomfortable adven-
tures.-London Star

The vexed question of chats on" or
that's off, during public worship was
settled at the annual meeting Of the
Anshe Chesed congregation, at the tenn
pie on Scoville avenue. The old Jewish
custom of the male members of the con-
gregation wearing their hats during
public worship has always been in vogue
in this congregation. A number of the
younger and more progressive members
have objected to the custom, and it has
caused more or less discussion for several
years. The older members held tena-
ciously to their hats, and the younger
ones blded their time until they should
have sufficient majority converted to
their views to change the custom.
The matter was brought up at the an
nual meeting, which was very largely
attended. The hat question was dis
cussed at great length, and several very
warm speeches were made on both sides.
1t was finally put to a vote, and the
members who are opposed to wearing
hats were victorious by decided ma
jority. The decision was that hereafter
the congregation shall worship with hats
off, but those who desire to retain their
head covering will be permitted to do
so.-Cleyeland Leader and Herald.

The Crazy Ball.

Street peddlers have new catch
penny device on their trucks that is
quite an amusing thing for old as well
as young folks. They call it the ''crazy
ball." and it is well named. For ten
cents you can buy one of these things
and see the laws of gravity defed. 1t
looks like an ordinary wooden ball, about
the size of tennis ball, but you can't
roll it in a straight line to save you. Of
course the secret of the things queer
actions lie in the fact that it is loaded
on one side. This makes every move
meut of the ball eccentric. 1t will roll
up hill of its own accord, and it will re-
fuse TO roll down hill If you try to roll
it from you it will perhaps start out all
right, and then turn around and roll
back, or maybe it will go off sidewise
and describe a wobbly circle around
you. All its movements are jerky and
spasmodic. Give it to kitten to play
with and the chances are that the kitten
will go mad, while baby will cry with
vexation over its eccentricities. A grown
person who is not up in spherical geom-
etry viii assure you that it is wonderful.
1t is not 1t is only some sharp fellows
way of gathering in the dimes. Never
theless, ere long the city will be flooded
with these ''crazy balls. New York

In the town Of Patten, place distant
from tidewater over ninety miles, there
is great curiosity, known as the ''tur-
ties nest" For fifty-two years turtle
has come annually to the nest to deposit
her eggs. Over half a century ago she
selected her nest, then in an open field,
but now in a yard in front of a resi-
dence. A relative of the owner of the
house branded the date 1871 upon the
turtles back, and it can be plainly
traced now. She comes about the same
date each year, and her first few days
are passed in inspecting the ancient
.Iesss, the yard and surroundings.
Later she dig5a hole in the ground
and there deposits her eggs. This year
she left forty-two eggs, but as many
were carried away and the others often
disturbed, only about a dozen of the
eggs Matched out The owner of the
house has ten of the little turtles, none
more than twice the size of a postage
stamp. The old turtle always departs
after laying the eggs; the warm sand
and sun serve as an incubator.
This turtle has been seen at the Drew
Dead Water on the Mattawamkeag
river, fully fifty miles away from the
nest. Her weight varies from thirty to
thirty-five pounds, and it is said she was
as large when branded as she is now.
Each June she comes to Patten, and is
always welcomed by old and young

A curious phenomenon occurred in
Simla recently on two successive nights
This was nothing less than dust storm
in the midst of a downpour of rain, or
rather, to speak more correctly, a shower
of mud. A column of dust seems to
have been carried up into the higher at
mosphere from the plains and to have
been caught and forced down by the
heavy rain. In the morning, as result,
all the. plants and flowers in Simla were
found to have received thick coating
of mud. There could be no doubt that
the mud had been rained down, for it
was freely sprinkled on plants away
from the hillside and at great height
from the ground. Moreover a deposit
of mud was found in the rain gauges in
various parts of the station. 1t is a
common thing to see the atmosphere in
the hills during the hot season thick with
dust from the plains, carried aloft by a
strong wind. But the conjunction of
rain and dust is an accident of which,
it is stated, there is no previous record

When vessel sinks in the channel
through Lake George flats, near Sault
st. Marie, there is plenty of trouble.
The value of the vessels delayed by a
wreck there recently is estimated at
81, 900, and that of their cargoes at
100000 At one time seventy lake
steam vessels were anchored on the east
side of the blockade and sixty on the
west side, and new channel had to be
cut through the flats to allow them to
continue their ways. Four dredges
worked day and night to make channel
700 feet in length, 80 in width and 80 in
depth. 1t is said that the only way to
prevent accidents like that which caused
the wreck is to limit the speed Of vessels
in the channel. There was the same
trouble at the st. Clair fats until men
were stationed at the ends of the chan
mel to time the vessels.-New York Sun.

The Smallest Snake.

J. c. Couch, who lives mile south of
Fox Postoffice, has brought us what is
probably the smallest snake ever cap
tured in Ray county. 1t was caught
about two weeks ago by his stepson
Theodore Jackson, and is Of the black
snake species. 1t is only three inches in
length, and at the thickest part Of its
body is only three-sixteenths of an inch
in circumference. 1t is perfectly form
ed reptile, but with an extra large head.
Mr.. jackson accidentally killed it by
splitting few drops of petroleum on it.
This snake could not teach school or
pillow corn like some Of his kinsmen
found in Colonel jim Denton's neighbcr-
hood, but Mr.. Jackson is just as proud
of his find as the colonel ever was over
any of his discoveries. Richmond (Mo.)

Wrecks Of the early winter theatrical
season are already seen in New York
managers whose ventures have failed
after a few nights out Of town, tired
looking actors who seem to have walked
home, and bedraggled looking women,
whose faces tell plainly of their disap-
pointments. 1t is the old story of poor
plays, poor houses and the refusal of the
ghost to do his weekly little pedestrian
act. And yet in the main the theatrical
outlook is very good, for with big crops
comes plenty of money and an army of
people to be amused. But it is the sur
vival of the fittest. The poor plays are
not patronized, and the managers Of

A Wonderful Underrround Lake.

An underground lake has been dis
covered three miles from Genesse, Ida.
1t was found by well digger. At q
depth of sixteen feet clear, pure lake
water ran out over the surface for q
time, then settled back to the earth's
level. The most curious part of it is
that fish were brought to the surface on
the overflow. They have peculiar ap,
pearance and are sightlesss, indicating
that they are underground fish. The
spring has attracted much attention,
and many farmers in the vicinity fear
that their farms will drop into the lake.

Plain Talk About Wool.

The Chicago Tribune, a leading
Republican journal, says: Those
men who drafted tho wool schedule
OF the Mckinley bill and made it the
keystone and the very soul of that
bad measure, were the intolerable
and intolerant fools who declared
that an increase in the wool titles
would raise the price of Ohio and
Michigan tleeces, enrich farmers, keep
out foreign wool and wonderfully
stimulate the production of the do
mestlc article. They put through
their wool schedule drafted by the
Ohio shepherd, and the experiences
Of the last six months have shown
that they wero asinine politicians and
ignorant political economists. They
have damaged the farmers they said
they were going to enrich, and they
have badly injured the party they
said they were going TO strengthen
and make victorious. Is it not time
for them to own up that they made
fools Of themselves and proceed to
undo their blunder?"
