STRANGE STORY OF A RING.
Stolen by a Hawk and Found by a Page
The Awful consequences.

stolen by a Hawk and Found by a Page
The Awful Consequence.
A curious story of the Countess Ida
of Toggenburg comes down to US from
the twelfth century. Sitting at deep
window-sill in one of the upper stories
of her castle. on which she had placed
her jewel case to dry the outside leath
er shat had become dampened, sudden
ly favorite hawk or raven darted down
and seized a valuable ring in its beak
and few away with it. Fearful of COM
municating the loss to her stern hus-
band. she kept it a secret to all but
few chosen domestics, who We're au-
thorized to reward anyone who might
find it A young page, unhappily not
of the confidential party, picked it up
at a great distance from the castle,
and. showing 1t to another page,
boasted that it was the gift of lady.
The baron heard the vain boast and de-
sired to see the ring. He recognized it
at once as the one presented to his wife
on the day of their bethrothal, and,
wild with jealousy. rushed into her
room, where he found her sitting at the
very window from which the ring had
been carried away by the bird. He
never asked her single uestion, but
tossed her out and into wooded ra-
vine hundreds of feet below.
The tardy truth availed not the un-
happy youth whose falsehood caused
the ruin of both his lady and himself,
for three days afterward the innocence
of both was made known by a peddler,
who had seen him pick it up and had
offered price which the other refused,
and now came to renew it or offer
the amount originally demanded
by the foolish youth. Even
search was then made for
the wherea bouts of the unfortunate
countess, who had. though much
bruised, escaped death as if by mira
Gle and withdrawn herself into a cav
ern remote fromthe castle. There she
lived for years on wild fruits, birds
eggs. and little other food conveyed to
her by an aged woman. to whom she
communicated the strange story of her
preservation from instant death, and
for whose bounty she repaid by spin
ming for her after night. A favorite
dog at last discovered her retreat and
her husband went in great pomp to re-
move her to his castle. but the deeply
INJURED Ida refused to go with her huS-
band, and as an atonement for her suf-
ferings and the death of her page he
allowed her to build a convent, of which
she became abbess The story is as well
authenticated as any other that has
come down to Us from the middle ages.

The Fate of q Faster.

Succt, the Italian faster who beat DR..
Tanner at his own game, has gone mad. Il
was one of the most natural things in thu
world that he should Eminent physicians
predicted insanity as his fate if he persisted
in exercising his wonderful power OF alb.
staining from food for long periods. But
he refused to believe that outraged nature
would be revenged, and continued to sub
ordinate his body to his mind sin the in-
terest of science"
Succi first attracted the attention Of
Americans about eighteen months ago
when, in variety show building in New
York, he lived forty five days on an empty
stomach, beating DIR. Tanners performance
by 100 hours Before he came to America
he had tasted in several European cities In
which he had been studied by scientific
men and loaded down with medals. After
leaving America he tasted again in Europe
until he had run the number Of his feats up
to thirty three, the last OF which was in
London, and resulted in imbecility.
While he was in America there was a
popular story afioat that he had been an
African explorer, and in the wilds of the
dark continent had procured from one of
the tribes a wonderful elixir which sus-
tanned him during his long fasts. But he
denied the story, and said: my will is
stronger than my body; there you have the
whole secret" The sequel proves that he
was mistaken. His mind may have
been temporarily the stronger, but
it is shattered now beyond
repair, while his body survives. And
until the elixir OF life is discovered Succi's
fate, or death, will be the fate of all who
attempt to sustain life by mental force
solely.

Take Them Out Of Politics.

A bill TO exclude political influence from
fourth-class postoffices has been agreed
upon by the House committee on civil serv-
fee reform. When the committee sue
ceeds in getting it passed it will have ac~
complished a good work.
! The proposed law will affect 81, 900 post
Offices 1t provides for the division OF the
country into postal districts, and that
where vacancies occur open competition
shall be announced by postoffice inspectors,
who shall recommend the best man
TO the Postmaster General after re-
ceiviDg all applications and examining the
facts. Where the annual salary paid is in
excess Of 800 per annum the postoffice in
spector is required to make personal visit
to the office in which vacancy occurs, ex-
cept in cases where there are only one ap-
plicant. These visits will give each in
spector a personal knowledge Of the offices
under his charge, and the men who I'LL
them.
The Limitation of the provisions of the
bill to offices where the annual compensa-
ton is above 500 leaves more than "a, 900
offices exempt from the personal visits Of
inspectors in selecting postmasters 1t is
estimated that the extreme cost of the pro-
posed system would be $50, 900 for thirty
inspectors, and that the present force of
of postoffioe inspectors would need but
slight increase in numbers to carry out the
provisions Of the bill, in connection with
their other duties.
Congressman and other federal officials
are forbidden to make recommendations or
TO interfere in any way with appointments,
and appointments or removals upon polit-
ical grounds are prohibited.
1t is understood that MIR. Raines, Of New
York, will lead the republican opposition to
the bill. but it is believed that a. number of
republicans will favor it.

A Renublican Paper's Error.

The New York Press an ultra-republican
newspaper, a stalwart warrior in behalf Of
the Mckinley law, despiser of everything
English and shouter for the use Of Ameri-
can products in American homes, has given
circulation to a pamphlet which may call
down upon its head the wrath of its repub-
lican patrons. The little book went out
with the Sunday Press of May % under
the title, zone Hundred Choicest Recipes
for Cooking, by Alessandro Filippini.n The
authors name is decidedly un American to
begin with. Philopena would be a
little better. But the name is not
SO Objectionable. from a republican
standpoint, as the things Mr.. Filippini res
commends for use in cooking. For instance,
he insists that English mustard shall be
used in every instance where his recipes call
for mustard. He also lays down the Inflexi-
BILE rule that Spanish and Dutch sauces,
French wine. Russian caviare, Swiss cheese,
Italian mscaropi ana Italian rice must be
used where those things are required. And,
worst OF all, he says that beef must be
chopped in an English-made chopping ma
chine and coffee brewed in French coffee
pot. How in the world is the Press ever
going to set itself right before the American
chopping machine makers and the owners
OF American tin works! Filippini's book is
reasonable. as every manufacturer must
see at once. There are several passages in
it, however, that proclaim the author a
poet and philosopher. Under the head of
Eggs" appears this poetical quotation
from Keller: And see how they strut
about and hear them cluck.n Could any
quotation be more appropriate and sug-
gestivel A recipe for poaching eggs fol-
lows The author says: "Have easily at
hand twelve fresh eggs" and gives an elabo-
rate description of how six of them are to be
cooked. and adds, land repeat the same
with the other six"
But however unAmerican the majority OF
the recipes in the book may be, there are
two that will be Endorsed by believers in
every political creed extant, except the pro-
hibitionists. For making champagne
punch and egg-nog the author says that it
it is absolutely necessary to have "a pretty
bowl sufficiently large to hold at least three
quarts"

New Postoface Regulations.

Under the new code of postoff1ce regula-
tions, recently issued by Postmaster General
Wanamaker. "mail matter upon which an
indefinite address is written or printed, such
as The Leading Vegetable Dealer or Amy
Intelligent Farmer is not deliverable" On
general principles it may be good thing to
discourage the putting Of indefinite addresses
upon letters; but in instances where the in
definite addresses would seem to indicate
that the letters or papers were important,
why should they not be delivered? Suppose
a Chicago produce dealer wished to
make a trade proposition to some good
man in the same line of business
in Savannah. Lacking the address of such
a person, and not having Savannah city
directory at hand. under this ruling it
would be necessary for the Chicago man to
write to the mayor Of this ci ty, or the clerk
Of council, or some other public man, and
beg the favor Of the address desired. This
would take a week or ten days, whereas a
letter address in the manner prohibited by
the Postmaster General could be placed in
proper hands as promptly and correctly as
If addressed with the dealers name and
street number.
The new regulations also says: Letters
addressed to "A. B.. or other initials of ficui-
tious names, in care of letter carrier at a
free delivery Office, are not deliverable
and should be treated as improperly ad-
dressed mail matter" 1t "a. B." happens

stances to the necessity of advertising for

and every one Of his subordinates, after
having relieved the mails of matter prohib-
tied by law, to assist communication be-
