He Could Throw Sorn@s

Several years ago, remarked citi-
zen of New Haven, Conn, recently, Il
knew a man who lived on the outskirts
of my town who could throw stone
with more accuracy of aim than is dis.
played by most sportsmen with rife.
The man was perfect giant physical,
ly. He was a good deal OF hunter,
using stones as his only weapon to
bring down the game He had a large
leather pouch attached to one side of
his coat, in which he always carried 4
good supply of carefully selected mis-.
siles. With these he bagged every year
no small quantity of game, such as
quail, rabbits and squirrels. He could
kill bird on the wing or rabbit al
full speed almost as easily as at rest.
One of his favorite methods for display.
ing his skill was to set up scythe
blade with the edge toward him at a
distance of about one hundred feet, and
by throwing potatoes against the edge
cut them in half. He could almost ex,
actly halyc two out of every three pota.

Some Doubts About It's Being Dissolved
In Wine.
Readers will easily call to mind the
story which is told of Cleopatra TO IL
lustrate her luxurious habits of living,
that she dissolved in her wine pre-
eious pearl. No one seems yet to have
questioned what must have been the
effect upon the drink, says Youths
Companion, but Mr.. Lewes questions
quite pointedly the possibility of such
solution.
We are very sheep in our gregarious-
ness of error. When one bold or stupid
mutton takes leap, all leap after him.
It is rare to find men doubling facts,
still rarer to find them doubling
whether the facts be correctly coor-
dinated Our books are crowded with
unexamined statements, which we
never think of examining.
Do we not al believe that the mag
nifcent Cleopatra, regardless Of ex-
pense, dissolved in her wine cup q
pearl of great price, as if it had been O.
lump of sugar2 Is not the fact" fa=
miliar to every one? Yet, II you test
it, you will find the fact to be that
pearls are not soluble in wine. The
most powerful vinegar attacks them
but very slowly, and never entirely dis
solves them, for the organic matter re-
mains behind, In the shape of spongy
mass larger than The original pearl.

DID NOT WISH TO BE EMPEROR.

Old William L Was Quite Content with
the Throne OF Prussia.
Rev. DR.. Bernard Rogge preached
the sermon In the Versailles palace
January IS, 1871, when the German
empire was proclaimed, and ever since
he has been known throughout central
Europe as the conseerator of Germany.
IN a lecture given by him in Vienna
recently he told of remarkable inter
view which he had with the king of
Prussia three days before the great
ceremony. King William requested
him to make the sermon short and ex-
clude from 1t as far as possible all ref
erences to the house of Hohenzollern
and its head
For I have not done it, said old
William. "God in His providence ac-
eomplished it. shall find it difficult
to accustom myself to my new title of
emperor. My own wish was that at
my advanced age l might avoid the
honor, although my son might be
called to accept 1t; but matters have
turned out in such way that can no
longer do anything but take It,
When received on the same day by
the crown prince, later Emperv
or Frederick, Rogge got few more
instructions as to the nature of his
sermon. The crown prince pointed to
the great hall where the ceremony was
to be held and remarked:
"When first saw the palace on the
10Th of last September said to my
self; There is the place where the
founding of the German empire will be
proclaimed"

Trephining was also accomplished by
drilling a number of holes with bone
drill, then breaking down the small

piece of bone. Again, the operation could
be effected with stone saw, and skulls
were represented that showed that

In Sweden, If you address the poor,
est person on the street you must lift
your hat, says the Philadelphia Press.
The same courtesy Is insisted upon If
you pass lady on the stairway. To
enter reading room or bank with
ones hat on Is regarded as bad
breach of manners To place your
hand on the arm of q lady is 8 grave
and Objectionable familiarity.
In Holland a lady is expected TO re-
tire precipitately If she should enter a
store or restaurant where men are
congregated. She waits until they
have transacted their business and de-
parted. -
Ladies seldom rise In Spain to res
ceive male visitor, and they rare
ly accompany him to the door,
For a Spaniard to give lady--even
his wife--his arm when out walking
is looked upon as decided violation
of propriety
In Persia, among the aristoeracy, a
visitor sends notice an hour or two be-
fore calling, and gives days notice
if the visit is one of great Importance.
He is met by servants before he reaches
the house, and other considerations
are shown him according to relative
rank. The left, and not the right is
considered the position of honor.
No Turk will enter sitting room

over them. The latter, which receive
all the dirt and dust, are left outside

In Syria the people never take off

Congressional.

son bill was made to day. It opened
at once under the agreement of Fri
day setting apart three hours for the
purpose. Some time was spent in ar
ranging the details of the discussion
by the various interests. The sugar
men finally asked that On hour each
be given to the advocates of the boun-
ty provision Of the bill, to the advo-
Gates Of the retention of the McKin-
ley law bounty, and to the advocates
OF the duty on sugar. It was object
ed to on the grounds that it gave no
opportunity to the advocates OF free
sugar to be beard. It was finally
agreed that the Louisiana members,
as the ones most interested, should
have an hour aud the remainder Of
the House should take it's chances
thereafter. .
McRae, Democrat of Arkansas,
offered an amendment to abolish the
sugar bounty, leaving it on the free
list. He thought it was no time to
be paying duties when the treasury
was bankrupt and borrowing money
at five per cent.
The bounty would cost the people
OF the country, said McRae, us it
stood, $50, 1000, as bounty; last year
it cost S10,O0O,OOO. He contended
the bounty was unconstitutional, un-
Democratic and should be abolished.
Meikeljohn offered an amendment to
that OF ,McRae, the sugar bounty pro-
vision Of the Mckinley law, that pro-
vision Of the Mckinley law, he said,
had been passed to afford opportunity
for American capital. The purpose
Of that act had been fulfilled. and
resulted in the past investment of
capital-Sl50,OO0,00O in Louisiana,
Sic, 100000 in California and $4,000.
600 in Florida.
If the provision of the Wilson bill
was passed this great industry would
be destroyed and we would be placed
at the mercy Of foreign pro auctions
OF sugar, at the same time giving the
sugar trust protection of SO per
cent, or quarter OF one cent on
every pound of refined sugar.
Dockery Oem } offered as a sub
stitute for these amendments the
proposition to abolish. the bounty on
sugar and place raw and refined su-
gar on the free list. If there was
anything, said Dockery, on which he
thought the Democracy wanted unit
il was in opposition to this bounty.
Beet sorghum and maple sugar boun-
ties were petty larceny, while the
bounty on cane sugar rose to the
dignity Of grand larceny.
Boatner (Dem.) of Louisiana va mt
ed to know il Dockery did not intend
to strike dom all duty on cotton and
wooden goods and all otLer articles
and place them on the free list.
Dookery replied that all reforms
could not be accomplished In day
The farmers who followed the plo "
did not demsnd bounty on wheat
or corn. All they demanded was an
equal chance in the race Of life.
Cannon (Rep.) Of Illinois supported
Meikeliohn's amendment. He said
the free sugar clause Of the McKin
ley law had saved the people OF the
country, rich and poor alike, an
nually from 81 to 81. Is per capita.
The time for taking vote on the
sugar schedule was postponed unti
4:l5 O'Clock.
After the reading OF the Hawaiian
correspondence, Boutelle demanded
