The Curfew Bell.

The law governing the "curfew
bell of which we have all read and
heard 30 much, was established in the
year 1868, but was partially repealed
in the year HOO. At first il was rung
at p. NJ, at which time the people
we're compelled to put out their fires
and blow out their candles. Henry |,
however, fixed the law, as above
mentioned, 80 that lighted candles
were not absolutely prohibited until
about the ninth hour. One reason
the curfew bell was rung was to COM
pei every one to cover and put out
fires, which in those early days was in
the center OF house-a large opening
being made in the roof to allow the
smoke to escape. The word "curfew"
simply means cover fire." the Gus
tom being, after the fire was out, TO
cover the opening in the floor with
large fat stone kept for that purpose.
As long as these customs were strictly
adhered to great confiagrations were
almost impossible.-St. Louis Republi-

a Fourth of July Celebration On

As the Fourth Of July approached
We determined on a celebration. Our
orator was talented young fellow
from New Orleans, our chaplain q
minister from Maine. took in hand
the music, acting also as special cook,
and in that character prepared three
barrels OF doughnuts. A New York
caterer made hogshead OF small
beer the Captain hoisted all the bunt-

were brought into action for salutes.
The small quantity of liquor brought
on board by some OF the passengers at
Panama had long since disappeared,
and an enforced abstinence kept the
violent spirits in peaceful mood, SO
that independence Day passed off to
the complete satisfaction Of all.-April

Williams Kingston, Of Ditch-heat,
Somersetshire, England, was "the
most wonderful of all that wondrous
krew." Concerning him a writer Of
the London Chronicle says: l put
half sheet Of paper, with pen and ink
on the floor before him. He threw off
his shoes as he sat took the inkstand
in the toes Of his left foot (having been
born without arms), and held the pen
in those Of the right. He then wrote
three fine lines better than most can
write with the fingers. He feeds him
self, and can bring both his meat or
bis broth to his mouth by holding the
fork or spoon in his toes. He showed
me how he shaves.
lie can dress and undress himself.
He is farmer by occupation; milks
bis cows with his toes, cuts his own
hay and binds up the bundles and
carries it about the field for his cattle.
In saddling and bridling his horse he
does it with his teeth. He is 30 strong
in his teeth that he can lift ten pecks
Of beans with them, and he can throw
a hammer as far with his feet as most
people can with their hands.

The latest development in the
penny-in-the slot" system is an
automatic coffee tavern now on exhibit
ton at Birmingham. The purchaser
drops in his penny and pulls out a
knob labled with the drink he desires.
Then, by pressing tap he is able to
draw the exact quantity. There are
two plated cups for the use OF Gus
toners, and second tap gives con-
slant supply Of water tor rinsing.
Each reservoir Of drinks hold seven
gallons, and tea and coffee are kept
hot by an unseen gas burner. The
automation turns the gas out when the
reservoir is exhausted, and displays
notice Empty" in front. Iced
drinks are TO be sold by the same ma
chimes, which can also be utilized for
the sale OF sandwiches. pies and cakes.

WHIPPED AT SCHOOL.
As the ResuIt of q Switching q Boy
Became President Of n nailroad.

Twenty years or more ago, says
the Atchison Globe, Mrs. John NJ.
Crowell, then Miss Grant, was teacher
Of a country school near Yellow
Springs, o. Among her pupils was
an orphan boy, whom the principal
farmer of the district had found in
Illinois and taken to raise. The boy
was capable and bright, but he lacked
application, and on that account was
never prepared in his lessons. Miss
Grant complained OF the boys short
coming to bis adopted father, and was
advised to wear a hickory gad out
upon him. She hesitated, for the boy
was big and strong, although good
natured. But the father insisted, and
after warning the boy several times,
she one day used the hickory upon
him in the presence OF the entire
school. II humbled the lad, and it
was feared that he would run away
that night. He was accordingly
away, he took candle and went to
his room, where the light was seen
to burn the greater part Of the night.
The next day the boy was in his place
in school as usual, and throughout the
day he was perfect in his lessons. The
reformation was complete, and the
orphan became famous in the district.
Miss Grant came West and married
Mr.. Crowell. A few years ago, while
Mr.. Crowell was still in the service Of
the Post-0flice Department, he was
riding over the Fort Scott and Wichita
road. The conductor was new to the
business and was ayerse to recoguiZ-
ing Mr.. Crowell's credentials. But
the president of the road happened to
be in his car, attached to the rear OF
the train, and the credentials were re-
ferred to him. Pretty soon the presi-
dent appeared in person, and led Mr..
Crowell back into his car. Your
wife, sir, made me president of this
road" he said. " II it had not been
for whipping she once gave me !
would be now podder on the
farm" 1t was Francis Tiernan,
grown to be rich and famous, all from
the school teachers severe discipline.
Mr.. Tiernan soon after called in his
special car at Atchison with his wife
to see Mrs. Crowell. He is now a
millionaire and is building a railroad
from Salt Lake City to Los Angeles.

How ,he .Rum blossom BIooms.

The circulation is through two sets
OF blood vessels-arteries and veins
both obtaining their motive power
from the heart, acting as force-pump.
Alcohol increases the pulsatious, and,
as the blood is sent from the heart to
the extremities faster than the veins
can take it up again to return it, con-
gestion results, and the nose, being
remote portion of the circulation, red
dens and finally becomes diseased.
This, however, is not different from
other organs of the body. All are con-
gested and similarly diseased by the
use of alcohol st. Louis Republic.

Queen victoria'. Maids.

Queen Victoria has five maids to
assist at her toilet, viz three dressers
and two wardrobe women. We are
told also by high authority that the
senior dresser, who has been many
years with her Majesty, is especially
charged with the task OF conveying
orders to different tradespeople-
jewelers., drapers and dress-makers;
one dresser and one wardrobe woman
are in constant attendance on the
Queen, taking alternate days. All
this when the royal lady is well and in
good spirits. At other times the
maids are made to retire to the lower
apartments and told to stay there until

FIVE HUNDRED CAPTURED.
COnvists Released by the Miners Rear
rested I'm Kentucky.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, Nov. S.-While
there have been rumors in circulation in
East Tennessee during the last two days
that a mob intended to attack the
branch prisons at Tracy City and In
man, it is thought there is little founda-
tion for them.
There are 620 convicts at these prisons,
and extra guards have been placed on
duty at each of them.
Speaking of the release of the convi cts
the Governor said:
"There should have been a heavy
guard at each of these prisons. The
trouble has been that the lessees and
the representatives of the State have
each refused to pay extra guards and
there have been none. The stockades
should have been defended with powder
and ball
"The two remaining prisons must be
defended vigorously, for doing so is not
only sustaining the law, but IL is dc
Tending the good citizens of the State
against danger from criminals at large.
The prisons must be guarded and the
matter must be settled afterward to the
counties ~
Several heavy boxes, supposed to con-
tain arms, have been sent by express
from the State armory to the officials at
the prisons.
Gov. Buchanan has ordered the State
Superintendent of prisons to take vigor-
Gus action.
It is certain that a mob would not
now move on the Tracy City and In
man prisons unless they were determined
to do or die.
Gov. Buchanan, in an interview, cou Id
not say whether the leaders of the mob,
If arrested, could be convicted in Ander-
son County.
Dispatches received from several
points in Kentucky state that over 500
conVicts have been captured and are
held to await instructions from the State
or the lessees.
Governor Buchanan has offered re-
ward of $5, 900 for the arrest aud convic.
tion of the leader of the mob at Lover
Springs, and one of $3.50 for every man
convicted Of participation in the riot.
