A Tremendous Eater.

johnson City, Tenn, has the cham
pion eater of the country. This is one
Clay Morris, whilom blacksmith, who
is said by competent witnesses to have
recently eaten at sitting four loaves of
bread, three chickens, three pounds of
ham, five good sized yam potatoes and
five cucumbers, with a quart of gravy
with the bread and q pint and half of
beer with which to wash the whole
down. The occasion of this meal was
wager between himself and his brother,
Job Morris, who himself ate two and a
half loaves, two chickens, three pounds
of ham and four potatoes, but retired
from the contest in seeing his relatives
appetite apparently undiminished.
The winner declared the meal nothing
unusual with him, and indeed seemed to
suffer no inconvenience from his gor-
mandizing, but enjoyed unbroken slum-
Der for nearly fifteen hours after He
says his enormous appetite has been Of
gradual growth and is rather proud of it,
though he is wholly untitled for any
work by it and spends the greater part
of his time lying down or sleeping
At one time, however, Morris was CON
sidered q good workman and the strong
est man in the county. Strange to say
he is not fat in proportion to his height.
which is something over six feet, and
weighs only 100 pounds, but he claims
not to have known spell of indigestion
for over ten years and though he is
stupid in the extreme, is very vain.

A Marquis VINO Makes Money Fly.

1t is said OF the present Marquis of
Ailesbury that he is zone of the most
gorgeous spendthrifts in England" Only
q few weeks ago the high court of jus
tice prevented him from selling the fa
nous Savernake estate for million
pounds to the head of that Guinness
family widely known as brewers of Sc
ductive malt liquors. Although the mar
quis is not yet thirty he has caused the
alienation Of much valuable and historic
property.
His grandfather from whom he in
herited, says q recent account ICON
sented to sell Jerveaulx abbey and his
estates in Yorkshire, and to resettle the
estates in Wiltshire, so that the young
plunger might receive 100000 to settle
his then debts. In the five years in which
he has possessed the title he has made
further Indebtedness of 81, 100000, and
to wipe out this he tried to sell Saver
make forest and all the property adjoin-
ing. 1t makes 40, 900 acres in all, which
include ninety-five farms, thousand
cottages, hotel, and house and build
ing lands in Marlborough. The gross
income of the estate is about $135, 900.
Out of this the taxes ard repairs eat up
$77, 900, and the mortgages and family
jointures leave in all about "a, 500 to the
owner. But, as all the heirs preferred
to SEQ Lord Ailesbury worry along under
his Indebtedness to his ridding his fam
lily of SavernalIe, they were against his
petition, and the court sustained their
view"

A novel plan for extinguishing a
church debt has been hit upon in Mel
bourne, Australia. The church com
mittee-or vestry, as the case may be-
divide the total debt among themselves,
and each man insures his life for the
amount that falls to his share. The
policies are transferred to the church
and the annual payments on them are
made out of the collections. Then, of
course, as the members of the commit
tee drop off, the sums insured on their
lives drop in, and later, when the only
survivor dies, the last installment of the
church debt is paid. Mall Gazette

THE WNECkED TAYLOR BUILDING.
ming of the Saturday half holiday. The
restaurant at the bottom was crowded,
the toilers at the printing presses on the
upper floors were just making ready to
leave, the girls working in the adjacent
shops were changing their attire for the
street and the clerks and proprietors
were Fastening to get away to their af-
ternoon of recreation. And at such an
hour death came suddenly to nearly all

must have been instantaneous in nearly
all cases.
There were some remarkable escapes
Mamie Heagney, nine years old, was
saved by falling between two beams, a
heavy iron shutter above her keeping off
the bricks. A boy fell four stories un-
der an engine and got out with but few
scratches. A plumber on the tin roof
fell with it and escaped unhurt
Whether the accident was due to an
explosion, to the heavy printing presses
or to original defects in the building is
yet to be decided

Chimney Pots.

When we reflect with satisfaction how
fur &c have emancipated ourselves from
the restraints of fashion in the matter of
boards, does it not seem marvellous that
we still endure the oppressive, though
unwrtten law which constitutes the
chimney pot hat to be the only decorous
heatldress for we'll to do male humanity?
Woe! woe! aesthetic woe to the Sons of
men who, having cast aside one after
another the Phrygian cap, the furred
bir1us, tho slashed bonnet, the knightly
beaver, the three-cocked hat and the
feathercd glengarry, have resolved that
whosoever will enter good society must
bind his brows with the gloomy cylinder!
None has u word to say in its favor;
every one hates it and condemns it. In
travelling the lideous object has to be
provided with q special case, yet for
more than three generations it has been
held indispensable, There is Il cynical
levity in the ribbon which still encircles
its rigid circumference, recalling the
happy days when hat band was a
reality, used to adjust the flexible cover
ing to the head. Odious as it is admit
ted to be, perhaps the most serious OBJ
lection to it from the point Of view Of
taste is the hin'lrance it presents to any
tendency i'll our other garments to be-
come more picturesque. Every visible
article of outfit has to be brought to the
aesthetic level of the headpiccc. A Chin
ney pot hat crowning u tasteful costume
reduces II To ridicule.-Blackwood

Arc We All Mad?

Doctors do not like to talk to news
paper men, for good reasons. Doctors
are custodians of the best stories in
existence, and when newspaper man
can worm one of these stories from such
source it is too good to keep. But of
course the physician must be kept in the
dark. Even then the physician does not
like to talk, because he is afraid his
name might come out. One of these
SPECIALISTS was talking in his reception
room the other day and he made this
statement:
"Therc is nothing new in the PROPOSE
tion that we are all mad. That's story
rs old as the hill and is true. We call
the insanity that is at large latent in
sanity. If it doesn't come in contact
with shock or some disease it may re-
main latent until death stops the ma
chinery. I know men in business who
are liable to go to pieces mentally if
the unexpected happens. once knew
man who was cashier in a bank, and l
had it from those who knew of his work
that no more competent and accurate
man ever held . place.
"But I had been his physician and his
fathers before him, and knew that the
man was mad. His insanity was only
asleep. So we'll did l know him that 1
warned him to keep himself free from
such excitement as would result from
certain disease. As I had feared that
disease finally made its appearance in
the country, and tho man blew out his
brains rs soon as he heard of it, al
though the case was 1000 miles away"

An uproar In Court.

Ono Of the most astonishing features
of the running of the civil courts of this
city is the excitement which a harmless
citizen can cause by walking into tho
court room with his hat on. Of course
no one is so ignorant as not to know
that it is not the proper thing to keep
his hat on in the presence of a judge
holding court, but it frequently happens
that man who is strolling about the
corridors Of a court house will step into
a court room and absent mindedly fail
to remove his hat. Now there may be
court officer within two feet of him.
He taps the offender on the shoulder
and whispers to him to take off his hat.
That is the curious feature of it. He
doesn't do any such thing. Instead. he
shouts at the top OF his lungs, "Hats
off" The officer in the corner, who has
been doing, wakes with a start, also
shouts Hats Off" and the third officer,
who has had his back turned toward the
offender, in the act of handing paper
to the witness on the stand, wheels
around and likewise shouts t'Hats Off,
Judges, lawyers, witnesses, jurymen,
all are startled at the sudden outcry,
and the offender against court room cti-
quette sneaks out of court, abashcd and
wondering why he couldn't have been
asked to remove his hat without SO much
attention being attracted to his offense.
