Professor Mahaffy has had a strange
bit of luck with a Greek inscription
rom Egypt. Mr.. Grenfeli, who has Just
'eturned with a number of important
newly discovered papyri OF the second
century before Christ, brought him the
Iqueeze from a mutilated stone 1ound
At Dimeh, in the Fayum, giving the
beginning only OF a number of lines.
4 belongs to 104 Il. c., and contains sew
,ral proper names. Prof Wilcken or
Breslau heard of il, and thought that
an inscription III another mutilated
stone in the Berlin museum, having only
he ends of lines, might have something
to do with 1t. He sent q squeeze 10
Prof. Nahaffy who put the two pieces
together, and found that they fitted
exactly, though a few letters along the
fracture are lost.
DR.. Morris, a Methodist pastor Of Bir-
bingham, Ala, preached a vigorous SER
mon on the evils of gambling. He
poured hot shot into the society caro-
players and said that if the law were en-.
forced a number Of society ladies and
gentlemen would pay fines into the city
nxchequer for violation of the law about
gaming in public places, Playing for
prizes, he averred, was he same thing
as playing for money, and for that mat
Ter he openly charged that he believed
from his information that some OF the
leading ladies Of Birmingham have
played cards for money. A good deal or
Indignation has been stirred up by the
doctors plain speaking, but this does
NOT trn,,h1a hin, for no ca Nc that is what
ne is on earth for.
1t seems to be pretty well settled ny
rircumstantial evidence that young Mr..
Biddle and Miss Cordelia Bradley, who
were married i'm Philadelphia recently,
are in no immediate danger OF going to
the poor house. The bride wore a dia-
mond brooch valued at 81 600, COO, which
IS an heirloom in the Biddle FAMILY.
More than his they received presents
of checks of enormous value, and 1t is
said that the aggregate value OF tho
wedding presents will foot up the COM
Portable sum of $40 600. Under these
pleasant circumstance nobody will be
surprised to learn that they decided
that they can afford to spend at least a
part OF their honeymoon in Europe.

While services were going on in the
Presbyterian church at B~rockport, n,
Y, Miss Emeretta Gilman startled the
congregation by jumping up and crying
put that she was being hypnottZed by a
young man of the name of Gordon Cook.
At that time Cook was IN the porch of
aer house waiting to see her. She asked
the young man as she came up the walk
why he had tried to hypnotic her, and
when he was too astonished to reply she
went into the house, procured a revolver
and threatened to shoot him. The theory
8 that her mind is unbalanced and she

Epicures must have noticed with re-
r.aA ~ YaA. a,.alttIxy ~ tho 1trnx rlnn-
ries indicative Of the end of the season
Tor this delicacy. Blu there is ~consola-
lion In the fact that next year the sea

ened by the influx into the east of the

10, 900 crates were allowed to rot on the
vines. and next year the growers in
hat vicinity intend to make shipments
If considerable size to eastern markets.
Everything in the matter of excellence
