The passion for cheapness has reached almost
its last expression in the reprint by Messrs
Constable Of the Waverley Novels In what Is
called the Authors Favorite edition. The edi-
ton referred to has long been not the authors
only but the readers favorite edition, In forty-
eight volumes fooscap, Svo. egible. handy, and
considering the time when 1t appeared. well Illus
trated-certanly far better than Mr. Andrew
Lang's recent edition. The original. published
some sixty odd years since. though never a
scarce. has been rather a dear book in
good condition and not easy to find In
really good condition. Now Messrs. Con-
stable reissue it at is pence. net. per
volume, with paper covers; about Sc cents. They
promise "all the original plates and vignettes
Whether these are re-engraved or printed from
the old and Of course worn plates, they omit 10
say In any case. the book Is cheap.
The value of Mr.. Fraser RAGS "Junius' find
seems to me much overrated 1t was announced
In and by the Athenaeum with flourish. AT
last the long-sought negative was to be proved
had been proved II was proved that Sir Philip
Francis could not have been Junius. What was
the proof? Stripped of everything but the kernel,
1t consists solely in the appearance OF letter al
legged to be a letter OF Junius written at time
and published in circumstances which make !;
certain that Sir Philip Francis could not have
written it, Admit which is not quite clear, that
he could not have been the author OF this letter.
What is the evidence that Junius was the au-
thor? 1t Is evidence OF a very untrustworthy
kind The fact which the Athenaeum regards as
decisive is the fact that Lord Camden considered
the letter genuine. OF course that is not de-
csive BE the value OF the afr native evidence
identifying the letter with Junius what 1t may. it
Is not conclusive Mr.. Rae establishes proba-
bility, nothing more. But II 1t Is not certainly
and beyond controversy Junius letter II goes
for nothing as the basis Of the argument Every
thing turns upon that. So am afraid we must
be content to consider the identity OF Sir Philip
Francis with Junius still an open question; and
wearsome one.

The Loll:ny Tongue.

curious relic OF bygone days may
be seen on a house in Berlin. Two
blacksmiths lived opposite one an
other in one of the streets of that city,
whose trade rivalry became the talk
of the naighborhool. One day the
emperor, William I, who was fond Of
going about the city disguised us a
farmer, in order to ''feel the pulse" of
the people. rode up to the door OF one
of the blacksmiths TO have his horses
shoe fastened. a daughter of the
rival blacksmith, to show her con-
tempt for this customer, put out her
tongue and distorted her face with a
horrible grin. The king called to-
gether the wood carvers of the city,
and offered q prize for the most
hideous face of q woman they could
devise, and when the king had Sc
lectcd the most frightful specimen
produced -one with a tongue lolling,
out OF its wooden mouth he rode over
with it to the hlacksmith's shop.
There, to the CONSERVATION of the
women. he ordered that the fury's
head should be nailed over the door,
as a lesson to rivals and a warning
against petty spite.

RothschiId and the Car.

About forty years ago the first
Russian political refugee, Alexander
Herzen, settled in London and founded
the first Russian free press and paper,
called the Bell. He was a wealthy
man, and before starting for his volun-
tary exile he converted all his landed
property into bonds OF the State
On coming to England he wanted to
realize on these bonds; but it some
how happened that the Government
knew the numbers OF Herzen's bonds,
and the Gar, Nicolas l., thhoght he
would ruin his enemy by ordering the
Bank OF the State to refuse his bonds
as worthless. The bank obeyed, as a
matter OF course, although it was
contrary to law. But Herzen found
a strong man to take care of his inter-
est, Mr.. Rothschild the elder, who
sent to the Cars Government note
intinlating that since the bonds in
question were in all respects as other
Russian bonds, he would consider
their rejection as an evidence OF in
solvency and would declare the Car
OF all the Russias a bankrupt upon
all the stock exchanges of Europe.
The Car Nicolas put his pride into
his pocket and orderd the bank to
accept Herzen's bonds. This story,
says "Stepniak, +" is perfectly authentic
and Herzen relates in his Bell very
wittliy and in all details how king
Rothschild sent his orders to Emperor
Nicolas and the Emperor obeyed."

BEAUTY CONTESTS or VIENNA.
Three Interesting Occasions when Choice

Three Interesting Occasions When Choice
Is Nnde by Popular Vote.
There are three contests among the
pretty girls Of Vienna for the prize Of
beauty every year, says the San Fran
cisco Argonaut, The first, held on
the summit of Mount Kahlenberg,
takes place on St Anne's day, and is
attended by all the notables of the
city, including foreign ambassadors.
Every visitor, on paying coin equiv
alent to about ten cents, receives
ticket which entities him TO record
ono vote for the lady whom he deems
the most beautiful. 1t used to be
open to the fair ones to canvass for
themselves, and many Of the most on
terpl.ising would boldly address a per-
feet stranger and. with winning
smile, inquire whether he did not
consider her worth u vote; where
upon he would gtllantly offer
his ticket. Lately however, that
practice has been stopped and the ut
most that a pretty candidate is al
lowed to do is to appoint male can
vasser or to ask you what o'clock it is
or at what time the votes will be
counted. And the curiosity among
them for information of that kind is
quite amazing. But it is natural
enough, for a beauty prize is as goodas
q dowry and throws open the gates OF
matrimony to the crowned one. Peo-
pie from near and far throng to these
contests. Several first-class military
bands are performing all the after
noon on the mountain Toys, ginger
bread, indigestible eatables. flags and
lanterns are offered for sale: all the
ingredients OF a regular fair-a Dutch
kermesse-a are scattered over the
place in abundance; the whole ending
in a brilliant display of fireworks at
night.
At about 10 o'clock all those ladies
who have received the votes of their
admirers enter the brilliantly lighted
hall where the committees are seated,
adorned with many-colored scarves
and badges. The girl approaches the
table, gives her name and the number
of votes she has recaived-in proof of
which she delivers up the little cou-
pons-and takes q numbered ticket
from the committee. An hour later
the results arc read ont: '.Miss A.,
having obtained 531 votes, is entitled
to the first prize--10o crowns ($20);.l
Miss b.. with 800 votes, has the sec
ond prize-a silver watch; Miss c..
with LII votes, receives the third
prize silver medal" After this an
nouncement the three successful
graces come forward, stand on an
elevated platform, and show them
selves to the public, from whom they
receive d royal ovation; after which |
supper, beer-drinking. singing, and
harmless mirth bring the friendly con-
test to a close toward the early hours
of the morning.

A PETRlFlED HORSE.
The Unique Curiosity Recently
Found In indian Territory.

There was recently taken from q
small creek iieaf String, own, |. H., q
genuine curiosity in rfe shape OF q
petriiied horse, which had, beyond
doubt, been lying in the bed OF the
stream for many years. The creek,
which is known as Masonic ford, has
been dwindling away for some time,
owing to the failure OF the springs by
whey it is fed and is now but a shall
low rivulet, and number OF Indian
relics, human bones, etc, have been
taken from its bed.
The horse was nearly covered by a
deposit OF sand and loose limestone
and was discovered only by chance,
some boys wading in the creek catch
ing sight ola portion OF one leg. Ex-
amining this, it was found to have
turned entirely into stone, which led
to the whole being dug out and carried
to shore. The horse, large, white
one, seems to be the work OF cunning
sculptor, 50 completely has the petr-
fication been, even the hairs OF the
name and tail being converted into
stone.
In the neck and piercing one OF the
largest veins is an arrow, in all prob
ability the cause of it's death, and
which probably struck it as it stood
on the banks OF the creek, INTO which
it rolled i'll its death agony. It's sides
still show the marks OF a saddle, and
its TANKS are cut as by spurs used
with desperation, but no brand or
other mark gives clew to its rider.
In removing it from the stream one
MOOT was unfortunately broken off,
but with this exception it is perfect.
1t is now on exhibition in Stringtown,
but is shortly to be presented to the
Smithsonian Institution, though
several agents for dime museums have.

\ CHASTITY PRACTICAL JOKE.
How a Drummer Was Frightened

How a Drummer Was Frightened
Out of Years Growth.
AL Potter, OF this city, says the
Bradford Era, has a keen apprecla-
ton OF the ridiculous and will 60 as
far as any man in all Venice in quest
OF a good laugh.
Al went into the st. James barber
shop the other day to get shaved.
The barber was not in at the time.
having just stepped out fora moment,
and Potter proceeded to take off his
coat and hat and prepare for ashave.
Just at that moment a commercial
drummer entered the shop and, adj
dressing Potter, said:
Are you the barber?"
A tiendish idea struck Potter, and
he answered very politely, Eyes, sir,
you're next"
The drummer sat down and Potter
proceeded to father him most profuse-
ly. He put the soap or an inch thick,
and accidentally got solhe OF it in the
subjects ears and eyes. The drum
mer twitched uneasily in the chair,
but made no verbal protest. Finally,
after the customer had been thorough
~ soaped, Potter reached back into
his hip pocket pulled out 3S-calibre
Smith and Wesson, and with a wild
look in his eye inquired:
will you have them shot OFF or
dug out with a spade?''
The poor drummer was speccbless
with terror. He thought he had got
ten into the hands OF a mailman, and
his hair had just begun to turn white
when the barber came in and he dis
covered that he was the victim OF a
cruel joke.
Then they all three laughed.
