COLUMBIA. $. c., July i0.-The decision
Of Judge Hddson Ia the Darlington in

laws are constitutional, but that the
Evans law Is not such law. but, on the

Sitting Down on Him.

A rather 1oudlydressed gentleman
stepped into the necktie department
the other afternoon and, in SUPER
ciliOus tone. that would have nettled a
craven image into anger, uttered the
single mandatory word, 'Neckties!''
and then drew back his head as if the
clerk was entirely beneath his notice.
The top-lofty air aggravated the sales
may, but he quietly displayed number
of late patterns with a deferentia1 air.
'These," said he, obsequiously, 'are the
very newest things, and are excellent
quality at twenty-five CENTS"
TWENTY-FIVE cents!' haughtily snapped
the customer. 'Twenty-fve cents! Do
I look like a man WHO would wear a
twenty-five cent necktie? Say, do I
look like a twenty-five cent dude? Is
there anything about me to Indicate
that L. Il beg your pardon" meek

snap in the corner Of his cold gray
eye, "the ten cent counter is at the
other end Of the room."-New York

A Rude Awakening.

He was a dreamy romantic young
fellow from Tacoma, and he was doing
the fair thoroughly, entering into the
spirit of the thing, so to speak, with all
his ability. When the purple shades Of
twilight were falling he stepped gayly
into a picturesque gondola, adorned
and propelled by a real, live gondolier
attired in blue and white, with every
detail of the Venetian costume COM
plete. Our westerner reveled in the
charm of the hour and the surround
ings. He threw himself into the spir-
it of ancient Venice and fancied he saw
the bride of the Adriatic lying ghost
like upon the sunlit-tinted waters.
With a womans artifce he tried to
tempt the gondolier into song. 1t was
in vain, however, for the solitary boat
man at the stern was. evidently think
ing Of his beloved Venice. The young
man from Tacoma at last sought terra
firma and as he scared, rather than
walked away, he heard with horror
the mystical gondolier distinctly re-
mark to his fellow in the bow:

phase. "-Chicago Mail.

Ills son at college and was reading it
aloud to his family, when he came to
this passage:

From the Cape to Cairo.


The business partner of one of the
directors Of the company formed to
build the telegraph line from the Cape
to Cairo has given a Pail Mall Gazette
reporter some interesting information.
Capital has been subscribed to the ex-
tent of 100000, which is considered
sufficient to carry the line as far as
Uganda. The materials are now being
ordered in London, and will be shipped
shortly. The poles are to be of iron Of
light construction, in order to outma-
neuver the white ants, who would eat
away wooden poles. From Salisbury
the line is to be carried to Tete, on the
Zambesi, and from thence to BIantyre.
There Consul Johnson will report the
result of his surveys as to the best
manner of proceeding on to Uganda,
and the constructing party will have to
come to terms with the natives and
Arabs by subsidizing the chiefs and
others of influence There will be moth
ing in the way of impenetrable under
growths or rank vegetation to contend
with, as the line will avoid the low
country and keep to the high plateau
the entire distance.

a BEAVERS TEETH.
How Nature Makes Chfsel That
& Always Keeps Sharn.

hOW nature Makes q ChiHel That
Always Keeps Sharp.
AS in every "gnawer'' the beavers
skull is armed with two long, ch3sel-
like teeth in each jaw, says writer in
st. Nicholas. These teeth are exceed
lngly powerful, and are to a beaver
what an ak is to a woodsman. One
such tooth taken from the lower jaw
Of medium-sized skull (they can be re-
moved without difficulty, unlike the
most Of ours) is bent into nearly a
semi-circle and measures five: inches
along its outer curve. Only one inch
OF this length projects from the skull.
The corresponding one from the upper
jaw is bent into more than a COM
plete half circle and measures upon
it's outer face four inches, of which less
than an inch protrudes from it's bone
casing. In width each tooth is five
elghths Of an inch. Examination of one.
OF them reveals the secret Of how
beaver can perform such feats as:
chopplng down birch tree sixteen
inches in diameter, not to speak of
softer woods like the Eastwood, of
much greater size. The tooth is COM
posed of two materials. Along the
outer face or front Of the tooth is a
thin plate Of exceedingly hard enamel;
on the inner, forming the body Of the
tooth, is substance called dentine,
being softer, wears away with use;
the thin enamel remains comparatively
unworn, so that the tooth assumes the
shape of keen chisel that never grows
dull. The tooth is hollow at the base
for half it's length and is filed with a
nouris11ing substance which keeps it
constantly growing. Thus, not only is
the natural wearing away provided
against, but a certain amount of wear
becomes an actual necessity. With such
instruments the beaver is admirably
fitted for obtaining it's natural food,
the bark Of shrubs and trees.
