A nne1 I'm the DARK.

y Cornelius O'Dowd, in one of his inim-
table essays, tells us that once upon a
time in the County of Clare a quarrel
occurred in the hunting field between
two gentlemen whom we viii call Cap
tain Robbins and w. Jones, Esq. Very
hot words passed between them. Let
us settle the business at once,r cried the
captain; al have pistols in the house. :.
Nothing better" said the squire: s.I'm
your man." 1t was at length decided
that they should fight in the stable yard,
at fifteen PAGES, each man to hold a
lantern as mark for his opponent
Where are you. you scoundref? cried
the captain, when they came out into
the yard. I'm here, you shoeblack, ''
replied the squire. Stand out bold. ;,
said the captain. tIt's what I'm doing. =
said the other. Give the word and no
more talking" Get behind the pump,
yer honor, get behind the pump before
you fire" whispered the groom, pulling
the captain by the coat He did so. and
when they blazed it was the squire who
got it. and it was more than three months
before he could get out again

Olives in California.

1t is said that olive growing will have
a wonderful impetus throughout south
ern California during the next few
months, because of the present very
large crop of olives, the introduction of
new methods and machinery for making
olive oil, and especially because of the
splendid prices the olive growers are
getting for. their crop this season. Olive
growing has reached such a. stage in
Pomona valley that two olive mills are
now being built for Immediate .use
there. Prices for cured or picked olives
are as high as ever, and the demand for
olive oil is far in excess of the supply.

En,eet of the Moon ON Animals.

Theshealth, growth and development
of children and animals were years ago
supposed to be influenced by the moon.
If the sign was right at the time of
birth they would be well formed and in
tellectual, but if it was wrong there
was no telling what sort of creatures
they would become. Every worthless
fellow. every dog, roofing hog, fence
jumping cow or kicking horse was be-
lieved to have been born under an unfa-
vorable phase of the queen of night.
Queer people, or those who were of
hateful disposition, were children of the
dark moon, with the sign below the
heart. Commercial Gazette.

An Exhanstive Search. Wasi Necessary to
Discover Important Utensils.
-, An incident which occurred two or
three years ago, on the occasion of the
yonng German emperor's visit to Greece,
Illustrates anew the fact, which no one
ever, doubted, that the etiquette of a
court may bring as much discomfort to
the king as to the people who surround
him.
The kaiser holds the honorary rank of
admiral in the British navy. The com
| mander of the British squadron in Greek
waters rendered his majesty dinner on
board his ship. OF course the banquet
was to be a most elaborate and magnifi-
cent affair.
The hour arrived, and the royal guest
and his suite and officers, all in brilliant
uniform. were assembled. Theuiit was
discovered that an important implement
was missing. Where was the emperor's
knife and fork?. j. @ ~
For the kaiser, having but one arm
that he can use-his left arm is with
ered-can WELD the scepta-, the sword OF
the pen, but cannot use knife and fork
as other people use them. In their place
he employs an ingenious contrivance
which combines in one implement both
knife and fork, and does very well with it.
Just at that moment twas discovered
that the imperial knife and fork had not
been placed by the imperial plate. It
was sought for, but it could not be
found. The emperor's attendants were
inquired of; no one knew where it was.
Then the knife and fork might have
been left ashore, perhaps. A picked
crew were put into one of the ships
boats, and brawny backs bent over the
oars, for the errand was one that called
for dispatch. The emperor's quarters in
the city were searched, but no knife and
fork could be found.
All this time the dinner was spelling.
The search had been made with all pos
sible energy, but it was now two hours
since the table had lacked only the
kaisers knife and fork. But the dinner
could not be eaten until the kaiser was
ready to eat, and his eating implements
must be found
Perhaps before this time the happy
thought had occurred to more than one
person, "The emperor may know where
1t is. But up to this time no one had
yentured to ask him. Would he. under
the melancholy circumstances, take it
amiss if he were questioned? Hunger
rendered the host bold; with decorus
delicacy the emperor was approached,
and tho monentous question was put.
Could he tell where his knife and fork
might be found?
why, yes, here it is,' replied William
II; and reaching inside his uniform he
produced the lnuch' sought implement
from an inner pocket
The host forthwith led the way to the
table, not only greatly relieved in mind,
but deeply impressed with the fact that
the affairs of Germany were in safe
hands. Companion

A Doetor,s Narrow ESCAPE.

Rev, DR.. G. W.sParker, respectable
preacher of Bremen, Ga. is authority
for the following tale:
DIR. l, N. Chaney used to practice
medicine in Carrollton He went to
Carrollton the other day in his buggy,
and while there traded an old debt for a
good horse. and started out for Boston
in his new buggy, leading his new horse.
When he was nearing the Little Tai
lapoosa river bridge at Kingsberry's
mill he suddenly heard roaring among
the trees, which he instantly supposed
to be storm. Looking up the hill he
saw the forest in comlnotion and the trees
falling and bending toward him, and in
the. midst of it a huge body. which
proved to be snake.
The doctor put whip to- his horse and
was quickly on the bridge. Feeling the
buggy jerk he looked back and. saw the
snake swallow the horse he was leading
and plunge into the river just above the
bridge, and just as the snake poked his
head out on the other bank of the stream
his tail was still up on the side of the
hill, his body reaching clear across the
river.

stream was damned, and the water rose
and foated the snake to. a level with the
bridge. The doctor jumped out of the
buggy, took ont big knife and, cutting
the hole larger where the horses feet
were sticking out of the snakes body,
the horse founced out and mounted the
bridge. The. doctor secured him to his
buggy and drove on, but by this time
the water had backed till the horse had
to swim the low ground, but they made
their escape.-Atlanta Constitution.
