THE EVERLASTING CLUB.
An Odd Organization That Continued in
Session the Year Around.


Session the Year Around.
Addison in one of his papers de-
scribed the Everlasting club. 1t con-
sisted of hundred members, who di-
vided the whole twenty-fOur hours
among them in such manner that the
club sat day and night from one end of
the year to another, no party presum-
ing to rise until they were relieved by
those who were in course to succeed
them. BY this means a member of the
Everlasting club never wanted com
pany; for though he was not upon duty
himself he was sure to find some who
were; so that if he were disposed TO
take a whet, incoming, an evenings
draught, or bottle after midnight, he
went to the club and found a knot of
friends to his mind. 1t was a maxim
in this Climb that the steward never
died; for as they succeeded one another
by way of rotation, no man was to quit
the great elbow-chair which stood at
the upper end of the table, till his sue
cessor was in readiness to fill it; inso-
much that there had not been a sede
vacante in the memory of man. This
club was instituted about the middle
of the English civil wars, and con-
tinued without interruption until the
time of the great London fire in 1866.
The steward at that time maintained
his post till he had liked to have been
blown up with a neighboring house;
and would not leave the chair at last
until he had emptied all the bottles on
the table and received repeated di-
rections from the club to withdraw
himself

HE HAD THEM DEAD.
A Clever Little Poker Yarn with a Reso-
nant Moral.

NlcNtT haFn with a hesO-
nant Moral
Young men ought not to play poker
or old men, for that rlatter-at any
time, and when poker is played in
business hours the Nervousness of the
act is fragrant. So, says the New York
Press, when President Warren Elliott,
of the Wilmington & Weldon railway,
came unexpectedly upon a group of
his young men playing poker, with
coffee beans for chips, the other day,
he accepted their explanation that
there was no work on hand and the
game was Just for amusement" At
some remote period of his existence
Mr.. Elliott had been initiated into the
intricacies of the game, and so he drew
up a chair and watched it with inter
est Each young man had in front of
him pile of coffee beans, which, as
they were careful to explain to the
president, were of no value whatever.
As a matter of fact, they had been
bought of the banker for twenty-five
cents each. The president of therOad
watched the game with mild interest,
anu Ii'ih CiLhS " ILAIc dp9euIIS hClpCu
himself to pinch of beans from the
different piles on the table, masticat-
ing them with the Indifferent air of
man who knew that unground coffee
was only forty cents pound The an
guiSh of the young men, who saw their
chips melt away, was poignant but
nobody dared to explain. When the
president had consumed all the beans
in sight he said good night in the most
affable way and went off with an inno-
cent smile on his rosy, cheerful face
The gentleman who kept the bank and
had no chips to redeem is now a warm
admirer of the president.

ing an active part in the work of or
ganization which proved so great a
factor in keeping Michigan in the re-
publican line when so many states fell
away. In 1888 Mr.. Patton went with
the Michigan delegation to call upon
President-Elect Harrison at Indianapo-
lis and delivered an address which was
a gem of eloquence and was surprise
to even those who knew his ability as
an orator. He has always been in

a particularly close acquaintance with

How Russians Destroy Rats.

The following is said to be the Rus
sian method of destroying rats, and as
it appears to be an effectual one those
who are annoyed with these animals
are recommended to try it. Catch in a
wire trap fifteen or twenty large rats
feed them in an extra trap or wire
cage until you have the required num-
ber); then cease to feed them. They
will soon become ferocious and fight,
kill and feed upon one another. When
only six or eight remain, turn them
loose. Accustomed to feed upon their
species they will hunt and destroy

eREwsoMg SIGHTS IN A MINE.
The Trip Down a Deep Shaft Full of
Thrill to this TenderfOot.


The Trip Down a Deep Shaft Full of
Thrill to this TenderfOot.
Going down into the mine is indeed
thrilling experience and one rather
overwhelming to the "tenderfoot,"
says a writer in Casters Magazine.
developed in suits of waterproof, with
hats of oilskin and provided with can
dies, party ready for the descent pre-
sents grewsome spectacle, reminding
one forcibly of certain conceptions of
Dore. The cage, which serves for both
passengers and freight, rises to level
with the floor of the shafthouse, and
is simply platform of wood with up
rights and framing of iron. This fits
closely in the shaft, being lowered and
raised by means of machinery puzzling
enough to the interested stranger,
with its drum, sheaves, cable and vari-
Gus safety appliances. To take posi-
ton on that little square of wood, feel
ing that on this machinery, (which
does sometimes break, you know"
hangs all ones hope, requires some
courage. Much comfort is derived
from the assurance of the foreman that
this same cage has safely carried down
and up all the delivers below with never
an accident yet. With the warning,
"elbows in" the cage drops. With
gasp one reaches wildly about to find
nothing to hold to in that damp dark
ness, growing so dense as that square
''hole of daylight" diminishes so rapid
ly, and down we glide through trick
ling waters without jar and in utter
silence till, with thud, the cage stops,
two thousand five hundred feet under
ground.
The dim candle light casts weird
shadows as we follow the superin-
tendent along a narrow gallery cut in
the igneous rock to connect the vein
with the shaft. At the intersection
another long gallery extends to the
right and left, but its parallel walls
are smooth, often highly polished, at
times four feet apart again more, but
always with an inclination to the
vertical. These are the faces of the
assured rock between which, over
head and below, is the vein matter
Through the gloomy darkness we pick
our way cautiously along the narrow
plank, resting on t.o5 laid over the
gutterway. Below us the water rushes
down to the shaft, emptying into the
''sump," a continuation OF the shaft
below the lowest level, serving as a
well out of which the water is lifted
by the great pumps, whose continual
beat, up and down, up and down. with
monOtonous regularity, breaks the 81
lence like the thrOb of some great hid
den heart. Climbing a ladder, or,
rather, five ladders-for there is a plat

A monument to Gounod is decided

sand dollars was raised easily. rapidly

dOwed with the statue of the com
poser who will only be known to flu
ture generations as the author of one
great creation, namely: Faust" and

charming works, "Mireille" and
Romeo and Juliet" for example. and
also of large quantities of more OF less
dismal failures. No one will claim
that GOunOd was the greatest com

carelessly into the vaults of the Panth-

remains of the magnificent floral trib-

funeral, says the Paris correspondent

A statue of Victor hugo was decided
upon also, but the subscriptions Ian
guished and dwindled until they
stopped at an amount of twenty-five
hundred dollars. So the literary giant
of our generation is only commence

Goes, painted by the great artists of

who incidentally explore the vaults of

cant space was visible at the Pantheon,
among the completed panels that sur
rounded it. AS was courteous to so
great an artist, the government had
offered section of the Pantheon to
Meissonier to decorate. Meissonier
instantly accepted, although perfectly
conscious he could not paint one of
