The Tallahassee Maidstone.

The most famous southern maidstone
belongs in the family of Ex-Governor
Walker of Tallahassee, Fla The stone
was presented to the governor several
years ago by the person who took it from
the stomach of deer. The valuable lit
tie concretion is oblong in shape, about
1 = inches in length and of a blush gray
color. One end tapers to a blunt point;
the other is fattened and has an aper-
ture through which the spongy, porous
interior may be plainly seen. When in
use, the opening is applied directly over
the wound, and the pithy substance
which forms the interior of the stone is
supposed to "suck out" and absorb the
poisonous venom, whether injected by q
deadly serpent or rabid dog. Persons
who have seen the stone applied declare
that it adhered firmly to the wound as
long as there was particle Of venom in
the system. Louis Republic.

Fish IEto q Big One.


Fish Into n Big One.
The amateur photographer who is also
an angler is well aware that his camera
will back him up when boasting of his
piscatorial prowess One photo I saw
represented huge fish, the length of
which appeared to equal that Of foot
rule, which was also shown. In reality
the take was little dace, or carp,
and while being photographed it had
been held very close to the lens. The
rule, of course, was taken some distance
away.
Cne of my authorities was once en-
gagged by both sides in a law case. A
company. which 1 will call tho City
Lands Improvement company, wanted to
abolish a certain court leading from
Lombard street to King William street
and were willing to establish in its stead
passage through one of their own
buildings. The company's plea was that
the court was dirgy, not to say dirty,
one, and, furthermore, that it was haunt
ed by loafers of questionable character.
Counsel for the other side, representing
merchants having Offices in the court,
stoutiy maintained that the passage was
well lighted and eminently respectable.
Photographs We're handed in from both
sides. The first photo showed a narrow,
disreputable looking alley, strewn with
rubbish and fallen boarding. The other
picture, however, showed the court in
dispute to be fairly broad, well lighted
city thoroughfare, frequented by mer-
chants of thriving appearance. These
photographs were taken for the house Of
lords committee, but the matter was
amicably settled
Here is another case: The Shuttle
Machine company vacated their prem
Uses in Cheapside, and another sewing
machine dealer moved in. In order to
trade upon the established reputation of
the company the second tenant left the
old name OH the windows and over the
door, but added the word "late" in very
minute characters for his own protec-
ton. The Shuttle company waxed
wroth, brought an action and engaged a
photographer to take view of the Of
Tending shop front from tailor's win
dow opposite. When this photograph
was produced in court, it was handed to
the presiding judge with a powerful
glass, whereupon his lordship was able
to perceive that what appeared to the
eye to be nero ornamental dash was
in reality the protecting word ''late. !"
The photographer himself, by the way,
! was not aware Of this. The aggrieved

A Remarkable Pulpit.

The Mechlin cathedral pulpit is re-
garded as the second finest IN the world,
the finest having been done by the same
artist for the cathedral III Brussels. The
writer, who has seen both, while adj
mitting points Of superiority in that Of
Brussels, prefers this, which is in the
cathedral at Mechlin. 1t is made Of oak,
and the figures of Christ and of the wom-
en- are life size. The sounding board is
formed by oak leaves twined with those
of grapevine. The stem of the latter
rises naturally from the ground at the
entrance to the pulpit, which is appar-
emily hewn out Of rock. The preacher
stands under the shadow of the leaves,
the cross at his right hand. Below him
and i'll front Of the pulpit, forming a
part Of the base, is horse which has
thrown its rider. 1t looks as though
some impious horseman had approached
Calvary heedlessly and been hurled to
destruction over precipice. The ex-
PLANTATION of the design is not given by
the guide at tho cathedral nor in any
book, SO visitors and regular worshipers
are at liberty to interpret it to please
themselves. brooklyn Eagle.

BEES AND BEEHIVES.

Old Fashioned Hives Scarce-Oueen Bees
Travelling by Mail.
The beehive everywhere represented
rs the emblem Of industry, as for in
stance in pictures ON the covers of saw
ings bank books, is the old fashioned
round, sugarloaf structure made of twist
ed straw, but as q matter of fact there
are very few such hives now in use eS-
cept in Germany and Austria, and even
there the modern hive is taking their
places. The modern hive is made of
boards and is square, with some modifi-
cations III shape and style. 1t is not
nearly so picturesque as the old fash
toned hive.
A gentleman farmer in New Jersey,
desiring to get two of the old fashioned
hives to set up on his place, commits
stoned New York dealer in beekeepers'
supplies to buy them. The dealer COM
municated with many bee farmers in his
search and finally found one hive on
Long Island. The gentleman had mean
while found one himself, so that he had
his desire.
Dealers in beekeepers' supplies sell
everything required, including bees in
the season. One can buy colony of bees
or any number Of bees, just as he can
buy dry goods or shoes. Queen bees are
sent from here all over the country.
They are shipped by mail i'll little boxes
called queens cages. There is in each
cage space for the queen bee and for a
number Of worker bees. In one end Of
the cage is placed sufficient store Of
candy for food to last the bees on their
journey. Queen bees are frequently sent
from here to Australia in this manner,
and so per cent Of them reach their des.
tination alive after a journey Of 40 days.

How . Manufacturers Daughter Did Not
Become My Lady.
Some years ago I was acting as curate
in Il large London parish. Two young
people i'll whom Twas greatly interested
were to be married on 4 certain Wednes-
day in April. Contrary to custom, the
bride arrived before the bridegroom
indeed the bridegroom never arrived at
all
1t subsequently TRANSFERRED that the
bridegroom had disappeared the previous
evening and was nowhere to be found.
He has not been found to this day No
cause for his disappearance was ever as
signed, nor has any clew to his where
abouts ever been discovered. The poor
young bride succumbed to the shock,
ard it was my melancholy duty to Off
ciate at her burial some weeks later.
One more case, and have done. A
curate, in receipt of little more than
eleO year, proposed to the daughter of
u wealthy north country manufacturer
and was accepted Paterfamilias was eX-
tremely angry at this and forbade the
young fellow his house. Candor cOmpels
me to state that the daughter offered
very little resistance to her fathers OBJ
jections, and the curate, who was genu-
inely fond Of the girl, removed to dis
tant parish.
Two months after this event he fell
into baronetcy and rather more than
e3, 600 year. The manufacturer saw
that he had made mistake and opened
up negotiations in letter. BY return
he received a telegram with the laconic
information, 'Too Late We may be
certain that the good manufacturer s
wife gave him large "piece of hel
mind" Us the saying goes.-Londor

But It brought Happiness to a Little Grip

Seated in the corner of Broadway
car was frail, little crippled boy, evil
IDENTIFY an intense sufferer from spinal
disease. His head and the upper part Of
his body We're inclosed in a network Of
steel and leather, and an iron brace was
tightly strapped to tie side of one Of his
legs. Poverty, too, seemed to be his mis-
fortune. His clothing was of cheap ma
terial and bore the stamp Of homemade,
and in every finger of the black cotton
gloves worn by his l5-year-old sister,
who accompanied him, there was hole.
Her dress was patched il several places,
and her hat was a thin straw affair,
trimmed with q band of faded red rib
bon, but withal she was wondrous neat
and clean.
At Thirty third street handsomely
dressed young woman boarded the car
and dropped into seat directly opposite
the pair. Tucked in the folds of her coat
was a big bunch of fresh, double violets,
tied with long purple ribbon, and their
fragrant odor at once pervaded the car.
The little boy caught the scent, and at
once his great brown eyes We're thrown
upon the flowers. Then he whispered
something to his sister, who blusl:ed and
told him to wait awhile. Turning his
attention again to the violets, the Lad
gazed upon them until his eyes = "
bright and round, and every few 10

perfume he could. Soon every one in
the forward part of tho car was watch
ing him. From the look of admiration
there grew in those brown eyes an ex
preston of longing so earnest and deer
that it made the heart thrill with sym
pathy.
The young woman, with changing
emotions, glanced uncasily at the boy a
intervals, and soon the power of thos,
eyes and the soul they revealed over
came her. With q quick tug she drew
the violets from her coat, and with ;
tear springing to her eye handed then
to the boy, purple ribbon and all Be
fore the child recovered from his grea
joy she sought the platform and wa
gone.
Nearly all the men sitting near b.

Russian Soldiers.
One of the interesting features of the
late Izar's funeral was, as usual, the two
men clad in medieval armor, one Oh
horseback and the other on foot.
TIE mounted knight had his visor
open, and his armor was of FURNISHED
gold, which glttered in the sun. He
symbolized life.
The other was on foot. His armor
was coal black steel Ills visor was
CLOSED, and in his hand he bore drawn
two handed sword, the blade Of which
was shrouded in Grape. He symbolized
death.
The weight Of these two suits Of ar
NOR is SO great that, Notwithstanding
the most gigantic men of the imperial
guard being selected to don them, the
one on foot who officiated at the obse-
quies of Emperor Nicholas fell dead
from exhaustion ON reaching the church
Of SIS. Peter and Paul, where the impe-
rial mausoleum is situated. While at the
funeral of Alexander II the black knight
tainted during the march from the
Winter palace to the place of interment
and was carried to the hospital, where
he died the same night.
A similar fate overlook the black
knight at the recent cars funeral 1t

on reaching the fortress he sank uncon-
scious to the ground and has since died

WHY POETRY is PLENTIFUL
Views Of an English Critic on Amersca's
Minor Bards.

With Transatlantic Bardlets" as his
headline, a writer in the London Satur-
day Review prefaces some rather savage
criticism of several books Of verse recent
~ published in America with the fol-
lowing lively remarks:
They are uncommonly like the Eng
ish poetlings, these transatlantic bard
lets, but there are more of them. This is
not because the States are less poetical
than the mother country. but because
they have more people. Moreover, "cul-
ture" is generally held in higher esteem
there, and to appear in print is an I'M
doubted mark Of having obtained it, just
as university degree is proof, among
the English middle classes, of its proud
possessor's right to be regarded as a
scholar and a gentleman.
But if the authorship Of book is a
certificate of taste and reading it be-
comes diploma in honors when that
book consistsOf metrical matter. Now,
about IS per cent of moderately educat-
ed persons can write lines which some
times scan, often rhyme and occasional
ly make sense, and painfully large pro-
portion Of these are impelled to establish
their characters in the eyes of their
ueighbors by the publication of these so
called verses. A little money or the
power of deluding publishers reader,
simple tribe, is all that is needed 1t
must be added that at times the poems"
are genuine trade success, as are in
England, for instance, the innocent
maundcrings Of Sir Edwin Arnold and
Mr.. Lewis Morris, fact which encOur-
ages scores, nay, hundreds, of other am
bilious and avaricious rhymesters to
emulate the lucky men.
In the States, too, they have their dear
little cliques Of mutual admirers, like
our fair brotherhood Of the Rhymers'
club and the Bodlcy Head, who gener-
ously praise one another's songs-which
they read Tor neglect to ready in presen-
tation copics-and they thus maintain
one another's spirit ON a little butter.
And then, Of course, there are always
ones aunts and sisters and wives and
that sort Of thing. There are more of
these in the United States than here
hence there is more minor poetry.
