ola Towers fin Ireland.

The oldest and most noted remains of religious architecture of Great Britain are the round towers of Ireland, of which 1ls are still to be seen. They are all built near churches and monas- teries, and in time of danger were used as strongholds. When bells were intro duced many of them were used as bell towsrs.-Philadelph Ledger,

Cotton Mills of the South.

The cotton mills in the southern states in 1890 consumed 600,000 bales, or one- fourth of the entire quantity worked up in this country that year. This is gain over 1880 of more than 400,0 ,000 bales. The production of iron ore in the same part of the country in 1890 was one- fourth of the output of Great Britain New York Times

Like flash the mesSags went through the crowded corridor and lobby and down tC the street, "Clevelaud gets the delegation" and the hundreds that had been anxiously awaiting the news scattered to spread it far and wide.
 The "Autisnappers" Happy.
 The information that the antisnappers would have seats in the convention han was brought to the Grand Pacific just as they had gone into caucus by Senator Brice him. self, and it had a soothing effect. It had been intended to take vote at this caucus on the question of making a contest against the regular delegation, but the subcommit- tee which had been appointed at the morn ing caucus announced that it was not ready to report. While the caucus was breaking up a member of the subcommittee said 1.-The situation is simply this, We are here to promote the interest of Grover Cleve- land. If we can best fulfill that mission by remaining quiet, We will stay quiet; if by making a contest, then we will contest. The courtesy that has been extended to us we regard as something in the nature of an

 Pennsylvania Under Unit Rule.
 A signal victory for the Cleveland forces was fought and won in the Pennsylvania delegation on the question of the unit rule. At a caucus State Senator Grant Herring one of the Cleveland delegates at large, al once threw down the gauntlet to the Wal lace contingent by offering the following: Resolved. That the chairman of the Pennsyl vania delegation be instructed to cast the whole vote of the delegation of Pennsylvanis for Grover Cleveland as the nominee for pres ident of the United States until nominated oi otherwise instructed.
 John T. Lenihan, of Luzerne, moved tC amend by substituting the name of Gov ernor Pattison, for that of Cleveland Committeeman Harrity earnestly protested against the amendment. He declared Il would be in bad faith to the state conyen' tion, which expected them to vote foi | Cleveland. This, Mir. Harrity stated, i'm | piled no hostility to Governor Pattison. The amendment was lost by vote of 5e | to 4, the minority consisting of Wallace and Lenihan and the Twenty-eighth district delegates, Smoulter and Collins. The Cleve | land men at once proceeded to elect theil | leader, Harrity, as the national committee man from Pennsylvania.

 Besides the increased claims for the votes of several of the southern states the Cleve. land managers count on the entire vote of Indiana and Maryland.

The bushn4en in the Kalahari des
ert often live scores of miles from
places where water comes to the
surface. During a certain part Of
the year sharp storms pass over the
Kalahari, covering the apparently
arid region with the brightest of
verdure and filing, for a few short
days, the water courses with roaring
torrents The bushmen know how
to find water by digging in the bot
toms of these dried up river beds
They dig a hole three or four feet
deep and then tie sponge to the end
of a hollow reed. The sponge alb
serbs the moisture at the bottom of
the hole, and the natives draw it
into their mouths through the reed,
and then empty it into calabashes
for future use.
The animals that inhabit such
wastes as tho Kalahari are of course
accustomed to living upon very small
and infrequent supplies of water.

Everybody knows that natives of
Delaware are called the blue Hens
Chickens" but not one in hundred
can tell you why they are SO called.
The epithet is said to have had it's
origin in the following:
One of Delawares most gallant
fighters in the war Of the Revolution
was a Captain Caldwell, who was
notorious for his fondness for cock
fighting. He drilled his men admir-
ably, they being known throughout
the army as "Caldwell's Ganecoclls, +"
This same Caldwell held to the
peculiar theory that no cock was
really game unless it's mother was a
blue hen.
AS the months wore away Cald-
wells men became known as the
''Blue Hens Chickens" a title which
only increased their respect for the
old gamecock captain. The nick
name became famous, and after the
close of the war was applied indis-
criminately to all natives of the
Diamond State. st Louis Republic.

tourists in seg rch of the picturesque

particularly dangerous part of the
journey, where the narrow path led
along the top of a precipitous preci-
pice, the chief guide called a halt.

in question, in bad French, because
this is the very spot where, ten years
ago, an Englishman who was being
conducted by me fell over and was
killed.

Her Nationality,

There came into one of the primary
classes of a Brooklyn public school
last week little black eyed girl. A
glance showed that her nationality
was not that of the ordinary run of
school children. The rest Of the
urchins seemed to be aware of this,
for when the teacher pleasantly
asked, What is your name, little
girl9" a towhead over in the corner
spoke up and said
please, ma'am, she's a stick"
"a what2" asked the teacher.
"a stick"
The puzzled preceptress looked
from one child to another and tried
to divine what was meant. The
newcomer cleared up the mystery.

what she means by stick. New

An interesting experiment was
made at Liverpool, which shows the
noninfammatory nature of cotton
packed in the Indian manner. A
bale of cotton was put ON a hot fur
mace and left there for half an hour
When it was taken off, the outside
covering was destroyed. but the bale
itself for all practical purposes was
bale of cotton still. An inch was
consumed by the great heat of the
furnace, but the interior of the bale
was perfectly sound, solid and good.
A well known cotton authority has
stated as his opinion that, whereas
with an American bale the smallest
spark in the world would cause its
destruction, if you give me an Indian
bale, you may cook my dinner on it,
and no harm will happen to it. If
such be the case, what must have

When Pens Were First Used.

About the year 600 A. d. pens made
of quilts were introduced. This is
shown by the fact that the word pen
ma, quill, is not found, it is claimed,
in any work bearing an earlier date.
Previous to that time the word Gala
mus, signifying reed, was exclusive
ly employed as designation for the
vehicle used in transferring the ink
to the parchment or other surface Sc
lected by the writers of that early
age Steel pens first came into use
in 1903 and about twenty two years
later those composed of gold made
their appearance. - Detroit Free
