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 II 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; d popular
painter had to borrow q 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 nor Of these uncomfortable aQven-
tures.-LOndOn Star.

Street peddlers have a new catch
Jenny device On t4@lg trucks that is
quite TN 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. It
looks ike an ordinary wooden ball, about
the size Of a tennis ball, but You can't
roll 1t 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
ment Of the ball eccentric. Il will roll
up hill Of its WI accord, and it will re-
fuse to roll down hill. If you try to roll
1t 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
~spasmoIic. Give it to a kitten to play
with and the chances are that the kitten
Will go mad, while Il baby will cry with

A Dust Storm in Simla.

a curious phenomenon occurred in
Slmla recently on two successive nights.
This was nothing less than a 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 a result,
all the plants and flowers in Simla were
found to have received q thick coating
Of mud. There could be no doubt that
the 1nud had been rained down, for it
was freely sprinkled On plants away
from the hillside and at a great height
from the ground. Moreover a deposit
of mud was found in the rain gauges in
various parts Of the station. It 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 10 previous record.

The Smallest Snake.

J. G. Couch, who lives a mile south of
Fox Postoifice, has brought us what is
probably the smallest snake ever cap
tured III Ray county. 1t was caught
about two weeks ago by his stepson,
Theodore jackson. and is of the black
snake species. It is only three inches in
length, and at the thickest part of it's
body is only three-sixteenths of an inch
i'll circumference. 1t is a perfectly form
ed reptile, but with an extra large head.
Mr.. Jackson accidentally killed it by
splitting a few drops Of petroleum on it.
This snake could not teach school Or

Of his find as the colonel ever was over

A Child Killed by a Pig.

While ''playing funeral" in Kiota,
Kan, Johnny Denner, aged six, met a

AN ENGLISH TOURIST,
He HEARS A STORY OF HOW HER
NIT MOUNTAIN WAS NAMED.

An American Commercial Traveller Tells
a Strange Yarn Abo-t the Lonely,
Lovesick Miner of the seIkirks-The
Mountain Was Named for Him.
The train had stopped near tie heart
OF I'll" Selkirk3, under the shadow Of q
great bare crag. which the guide book
said was the Hermit mountain. The
rock rose almost precipitOusly, culminat-
ing in Il crest extending for hundreds Of
feet TO the north, and the top Of the crest
seemed ALMOST as sharp as a razor. with
arms &Einbo on the rail Of the Cbserva-
ton car was an English tourist, who
wore a mOnOcle and a stare, and seemed
very much bored by the scenery. Near
him stood a commercial Traveller Of To-
rOIItD, who was explaining how the
llpG4taln got its name.
''FUII0w the edge Of the Eourtain
from its front to the rear" he said.
"Right where the edge breaks off you
see a solitary pyramid. From here it
seems to be only about six feet tail.
though in reality it is about thirty feet
high. Don't You see it bears III re-
seinblarce to Il man: That is the hermit,
and it is this solitary pillar that gave
am to the mountain"
The English tourist suddenly showed
indications Of interest. He edged n little
nearer, and remarked:
Beg pardon, did l hear you say some
thing about q hermit"
The commercial traveller gave his [
rade a dig in the ribs. why yes" he
SAID to the tourist; "didn't you ever hear

THE SETTLER WINS,
GIVEN PREFERENCE OVER nr,z
Filler.
cision Rendered by the Land oac.
"ausau In u Test Case Between
Settler and Filler.

"AosAU. Wis. March 2s.-The land
office at Wausau rendered n dac;.,,n
Today IN the case of John johnson q
Settler on the water reserve lands va
'onn M. Crawford, who made entry
the same day at later hour Th,s
10 tne first case decided which raised
Tue issue squarely between settler and
nler and was decided in favor of tn.
settler on the ground that the act Of
May IA, 1890, gives to ON actual set-
tier preference over the man who f,,es
put has not been upon the land and
mace a settlement thereon, and that
Is part OF the Homestead law and an.
plicable to settlemements under the
act OF June 20, 1890, restoring these
lands.
Inls decision is one OF the most i'm
portant ever rendered by this Office
ana Will be reviewed by the authori-
ties at Washington. Hundreds OF
thousands Of dollars are at stake, as
the title to nearly every piece of land
any value on the whole water reserve
IL contested by two or more persons,
one OF whom squatted ON the lands
and sent in his filing by mail and an
other who flied when the land office
windows were opened first, and set
tied. or attempted to settle at a later
day. In the light of this decision, the
lucky filers who sold their claims for
good, round sums to spectators are
congratulating themselves. It was
remarked upon as that on the first
day Of filing, Il son of Congressman
Myrun McCord should plunge into
the woods with q party of men to
settle ON choice sections CT pine land,
without waiting to file thereon. AS
many OF the "filers' and notably
Mark Bells and Others OF this city,
have abundant means, it il probable
that they will make 81 hard legal fight
to have the decision of the local au-
thOrities reversed by the powers that
be ut the national capitol.
The settlers are jubilant over the
decision and the tilers are correspond
ingly depressed. Some of them have
already made up their minds that the
fight IL hopeless and have thrown up
the sponge and are selling their out
fits for what they will bring.
Tuesday the Office decided two 9th
or cases, the first was William Walsh
and Streeter ettlers, VIZ. Mullen filler
and the second John Walsh, settler,
w. Madison, filler. In the first case
the land office held that Walsh and
Streeter had equal rights and that
the filer had none and left 1t with the
settlers to compromise their claims.
The second case was decided in favor
of the settler, Walsh.
This decision in favor of the settler
ar "a against the tiler still l.aves the
matter very much complicated as ON
good many of the tracts there are
more than one ttler aud In many
instances, as in the case decided above
they each have equal rights.

MUNICIPAL JCDGESHIP.
Is 1t an ORcl u Honor at Rhinelander's
Command:

Imam article relating to the election
of the municipal Judge this spring. the
Oneida Herald of Rhinelander III axes
use of the following language:
at has been suggested that an at
torney st Eagle River be imported
and elected to theJudgeship. The Her
aid does not question the qualifca-
tions of our Eagle River friend, but it
does question the prOpriety of ignor-
ing citizens and taxpayers qualified
for the assumption of q public trust
and importing material from abroad
upon which to shower the few Ohciai
honorS at Rhinelander'S command"
Ever since this county was set OF
the people of Rhinelander have con-
sidered themselves as the only persons
in the county entitled to any cOnsid-
GRAFTON. They have looked upon the
balance of the county simply as AN
appendage to Rhinelander, very use
full when it came to paying for Inn
provements for Rhinelander and Off,
cial salaries for residents Of that place
but of no use at any other time and
to he quietly ignored whenever there
il any official honOrs to be distribu-
ted We at this end Of the county
have long been aware of that feeling
down there. but this IS the first time
that weever heard or saw it expressed
in 80 public a manner. !,
The people OF Eagle River have al
ways considered themselves q part of
Oneida county, and quite an import
ant part when 1t comes topaying the
taxes, and hardly understand what
the Herald means when 1t says lit
has been suggested that an attorney
ut Eagle River be imported and cleo
ted to the judgeship," or by import
ing material from abroad upon which
to shower the few official honors at
Rhinelander's command" This Is
the first time In our remembrance
that a part of the county has ever
had the gall to publicly claim that
county Office which IL filled by the
votes of the entire county and the
salary of which IL paid out ut the
county treasury ia one of 1.-The few Of
fetal honors at Rhinelander's COM
manl." AZ far as Mr.. Colman OF this
place, who has been mentioned for
the office, is concerned, we do not
know whether he would accept the
position or not. He has been urged
by number of Rhinelander lawyers
to accept the position and we had
understood that Mr.. Browne. the
Herald's candidate, was one of the
lawyers who were urging Mr.. Col
man to be candidate. but he has
probably either changed his mind Or
Mr.. Colman has decided not to be a
candidate. >...

by the General Term Of the Supreme Court
in the Fourth Department that in q murder
case the record must show that the prisoner
was asked after his conviction what he had
to say why Judgment should not be pro-

OF this question was fatal to the Judgment.
It appears that tho statutes OF New
Hampshire require that a year shall elapse

provision OF law has been criticised with
