If it be a fact, as it is said to be, that q
| boy of late was born in Ohio, on the iris
of whose right eye the characters 1899 are
plainly delineated, while on the iris of
the left eye the characters 2003 are as
plainly depicted, the phenomenon can
hardly be looked upon in any other light
than that of portent. - New York
Times.
An act of considerable Importance to
horsemen has been passed by the legisla-
ture, signed by the Governor, and is now
law. 1t provides that owners of STALL
ions offering the services of the same,
shall file with the clerk of courts the
name, age, pedigree and record of such
stallion before the services of the same
are advertised or offered to the public,
and the clerk of courts shall then issue a
certificate or license to such owner. The
act provides penalty for a non -compli-
ance with its provisions.
The postal script will soon take the
place of the postal note now in use. The
postal note costs three cents, aud carries
any amount up TO S., while in script a
sheet calling for amounts from one cent
TO SO has been prepared from which, on
payment of one cent, the amount of
money to be sent by mail to any part of
the United States may be torn off the
same as an express order. There will be
no writing on it of any kind by the post
master, the sender endorsing the check
draft. The government guarantees its
safe transportation.
People who asserted that the song "Ta
ra ra Boom de ay' was an absurdity of
the first magnitude, should draw near
and list to the following refrain of the
latest London craze. Even royalty is
humming it:
Duckey, darling, sweetymeaty.
Kissy-missy me.
Nicey-spicy, periwinkle,
Tickle-ickle-ee
Lovey-dovey, rosy-posy,
Oh, ker-noodle-do,
Popsy-wopsy, hickey -wickey.
Winky, pinky-poo.
