Some OF the Disadvantages Famous Men
Must suffer.
Fame has its own peculiar bitterness,

pleasant to 90 back with laurels to your
old homer" asked some one of q cele-
brated artist, who replied, quizzically:
ut would be, except that many of my
townsmen think me a house-painter.
That is worthy trade, but still it is
not my trade" Yet such sting is not
the sharpest to be imagined.
A century ago there lived n famous
almanuc-makcr named Partridge. One
day, while travelling in the country, he
stopped for dinner at an inn, and after
wards called for his horse, in order to
continue his journey,
eff you will take my advice, sir
said the hostler, you will stay where
You are, unless you want to be over
taken by heavy rain"
Nonsense was the reply. SIT
doesn't look in the least like rain"
He proceeded on his way, and was
thoroughly drenched by the shower in
which he had refused to believe. Turn
ing back, he was met by the hostler,
with a broad grin.
"Well, SIR" said the man, "you see
was right, after all"
"Yes, you were right, and now you
must tell me how you came to know
about the rain"
"Well, SIR" replied the man, "you see
we have a book at our hoGse called
'Partridge's Almanac and whenever
that fellow promises us fair day, we
know it will rain. Now this day is put
down in the almanac as settled fine
weather. I looked ut the prediction
before 1 brought your horse out, and
that was how I could put you on your
guard"

Salt for Clearing Water.

The formation of mud shoals at the
mouths of rivers is due to the admix-
ture of salt water with fresh water
holding fine particles of mud in solution.
The pure water is so affected by the
contact that it throws down the mud
which it might otherwise have held in
suspension for many days. The action
of salt in thus clearing water was an
nounced to the British geological soci.
ETY. not long since as a new discovery;
but the American Journal of Science
and Arts asserts that the clearing of
water by salt, as well as by alum, has
been popular recipe for ages. 1t also
mentions an American publication in
which the action at the mouths of riy.
ers is pointedly referred to.

\ Treasured Relic,

Miss Nina Cromwell, Of Detroit, who
claims TO he n lineal descendant of the
great Oliver Cromwell, owns a veneer
able Bible which is thought to be The
identical volume which the protector
used. 1t was printed i'll 1891, by John
Wolfe, for the assigns of Richard Dav.
and was brought TO this country in 1850
by Benjamin Cromwell, the greatuncle
of the present owner. who'haS refused
$500 for 1t. The edges of the pages are
bordcred with columns of references in
the style which is current today. The
references are not so numerous, how
ever, rs those in n modern Bible. Be
tween the Old and New Testaments
are the a~pocryphal books. and at the
close Of the New Testament is a subject
index.
Perhaps the most curious part of the
volume Is the metrical arrangement of
the Psalms with which it closes. The
preface 10 this part of the work states
that the Psalms were COLLECTED into
English meter by Thomas Stern, John
hopkins and others, with apt notes 70

mond shaped and are arranged on a
staff of five lines, having a cleft not I'M

Is open and the stem. when one is used

the police of the city. They had, on pre-
vious occasions, been guilty of thefts in
this city, and a charge is now held
against them but on Wednesday night
they were recrcating around Hillsboro
where, by some u~naccountable means,
they got into Mr.. L. a. Rosemond's store
and attracted a lot of his goods to follow
them.
They, in company with the goods,
made way towards Durham.
They are now waiting for the 7 o'clock
train TO take them back, with bracelets
upon their arms, to give an account OF
their proximity to the goods, and when
Hillsboro is through with them, Durham
wishes to take them in charge.
