Peculiar Court Case.

From description of English mourn
ing customs in the London Queen it
appears that the periods of outward
grief for father-in-law is twelve
months, ten months black, two months
half mourning; Grape is seldom worn,
although the Grape period was formerly
six months. For Il parent the period
is the same as above. The longest
period for brother is six months, five
months black, one month half mourn
ing. The Grape period was formerly
three months; it is now almost discard
ed. The shortest period is four months
black, no half mourning. We may re-
mark that the period of mourning for Il
tather-in-law is often shortened to six
months when relatives reside at con-
siderable distance from each other.

Works Though he is Blind.

The fact that he was stricken totally
blind four years ago, and remains in that
condition, does not prevent Marvin r..
Clark from counting himself one of the
most active newspaper men in New
York, though he is compelled to do his
reading through the eyes OF boy at
tendant hired for that purpose. He
operates a typewriter, as that machine
enables him to turn out legible manu-
script rapidly, and to a great extent

special articles and editorials, and

Feeling the Servants.

The custom of feeling the servants
upon ones departure from friends
house, appears to be in questionable
taste, but it has become almost univer-
sal, and principle must sometimes make
concessions to popularity where the
matter does not involve question of
serious right or wrong, writes Mrs. Bur-
ton kingsland in the September Ladies'
Home Journal. In England an omis-
sion of this custom would be regarded
as an evidence either of parsimony or
of ignorance, and we are such an imi-
tative race that we eventually follow

usages of polite society in the 'mother

SOME QUAINT RECEIPTS.
Odd Cures for Various Known and Un-
known Ailments.

ODD cures Tor various known ana I'm
known Ailments.
Some quaint recipes are given us by
the herbalists. Here is one good
against merrie gals" another ''to ripen
felons," one to ''engender naughty hui
mors," and lastly, one for subtle form
of m urder, inasmuch as the, detection is
''to kill man in such sort as though he
seemed to die laughing" SO many an
tidotes exist against plague and poison
that, according TO the herb doctors,
there is no excuse for any one to perish
from these dreaded ills. We have the
famous antidotes of King Mithrdates,
who insured his safety so completely
by using the following recipe, that when
he attempted 30 commit suicide by taxi
nous recipe runs thus: 1.-TWO walnuts,
two figs and twenty leaves of
rue beaten together and taken fast
ing will preserve against poison or
plague that day" To the lovers of the
animal kingdom, says the New York
Post, it may be interesting to learn that
dogs eat grass rs an emetic; that asses
cursed with melancholy become lively
by eating milk waste; that deer pre-
serve themselves from the i'll effects of
serpent bites with wild parsnip; and
that the willy weasel, before encounter
ing the snake, insures his safety by
meal of rue. Eyebright, by analogy,
cures the failing sight of linnets and
goldfinches; while the eyes Of young
swallows, pricked with a needle and
pin, and SO made blind, within three or
four days after will see again-the old
swallows will restore their sight with

CALIFORNIA CONDOR.
Huge Bird Shot on the Edge of the
Desert.

Huge Bird Shot on the Edge of the
Desert.
Archibald Campbell, writing from
Laguna, on the edge of the desert, I'M
der date of August /, says: To-day as
Henry E. Clark was riding near the
laguna he noticed large bird among
some carrion crows, eating at a steer
which had died from rattlesnake
bite. 1t flew up into tree, where he
shot it with rifle, and the shot broke
its thigh. 1t then flew away among
some rocks, when he threw his RATA
over it and caught it, and it tried
him. He gave it another shot
through the wing and disabled
it. He brought it home and it
measured 8 feet 3 inches across the
wings and feet AZ inches long from the
beak to the end of it's tail. Valentine,
the captain of the Indiana, says it is u
female and not near SO large as the
males. The males have the under part
snow white, while this is pretty dark.
| think it is the Galleries volturinus,
also called the California vulture, which
approaches the condor in size and has
wings even longer in proportion. 1t is
very little inferior to the condor in
spread of wings, which natural history
says often spread 10 more imam ~ lcet,
with length of 4 feet. Last Sunday, as
a party of us were out on the high peaks
overlooking the desert, three of the
birds kept circling around overhead,
and now and again by far the biggest of
the birds would swoop down suddenly
toward us and make such ugly demon
STATIONS that the ladies got scared
and we all left on that account.
| think their young were in the cliffs
above us and they wanted to scare us
away. The biggest was whittier under
meath than the other two, and think
that it was one of the smaller birds that
was shot. Mrs. Wiegar from San Diego,
who is up here on visit, skinned the
bird, and on her return will take it with
her and put it on exhibition at the
Chamber of Commerce. They are very
rare here now. Valentine says they
used to be very numerous here when he
was young. Two years ago we used to
see a solitary vulture every now and
again, but he disappeared, and now
these three are to be seen near the same
place. This one, | think, could have
easily carried off Il spotted faWn, a young
calf or baby.-Sun Diego San.

Anccdote of John Mccullough.

T.. d. Price says that the late John
Mccullough always entertained the
friendliest feeling for "supers' who APP
peared in his support. He never forgot
that he had been one himself, and took
much pride in rehearsing them. How
ever, on one occasion they spoiled one
of his best scenes. He had been travel
ing all day and reached the town where
they were to play that evening rather
late in the afternoon. Mccullough, feel
ing very tired, sent his stage manager to
train the supers who had been engaged
for the performance and give them the
proper cues for their entrances and
exits.
The play was "The Gladiator" and
everything went smoothly until the
great scene in the arena. Mccullough
was in good form, and had never acted
better. He had raised the audience to
the height of enthusiasm, and his mag
niticent voice had Just uttered the
words: Romans, will We be slaves ?''
when the "supers" forgot their cue.
Instead of answering in a negative man
ner, they shouted with appalling unani-
nifty:
"We will, we will !"
Mccullough stopped for moment,
and, glaring at them, muttered:
Cd you, you won't"
The noble Romans looked at each
other in dismay; but one or two OF
them, plucking courage, piped in a
shrill voice:
eve won't, we won't"

were drowned in the laughter that fol-
lowed.-.St Louis Republic.
