- The first monarch the earth ever
knew was Nimrod, a grandson OF Noah.
Tho Romans and Greeks ate with (
their fingers, and one writer for the Tor
mer nation gives q comical story OF a
clutton of his day, who, when he went to
q feast, always wore gloves that lie might
have the first chance at the meat before
it was cool enough for the other guests to
touch it with their bare fingers.
When Abraham Levy of Richmond,
died, the Protestant and Catholic, as we'll
as the Jew, were remembered in his
will. In San Francisco 1. S. Goldberg
left half of his property to be divided
equally among the Jewish. Protestant,
and Catholic orphan asy lums. The Jew
ish Messenger says: owe have yet to
Israelites.'
"A strange story comes from Mckees-
port, Pa, concerning man who found
the speece he had lost. Several weeks
ago, George Sheppard suddenly lost his
powers of hearing and speech Thursday
night he wrote message to the bartender
of the National hotel, asking him for
drink of whisky with something hot in
it. He got a glass of whisky with tea
spoonful of black pepper. After drinking
1t, Sheppard sat down for moment, then
arose, his jaws moving convulsively, and
after desperate effort he astonished all
present by talking rapidly and throwing
away his pencil and tablet, for which be
had no further use. His case has baflled
the local doctors. If pepper whiskey can
make dumb man talk it will have great
run.
- While there has been considerable
amount of legislation that is crude and
xI, 70 nf rd q
pure and Just as any in the world. The
confusion that arises from the lack of
proper code and an attempt to apply laws
which contradict each other makes it
necessary for the judiciary to exercise
great deal of com mon sense, which. after
all, is the best rule of testing the rights
and wrongs Of men. There are no long
delays in judicial proceedings; there are
no devious and concealed paths by which
criminal may escape punishment through
the aid of shrewd and skillful lawyer.
Justice is swift and sure. A man who
commits murder on Monday is usually
sentenced to the gallows or to life lmpris-
onment on the northern island before the
end of week, and he is either buried or
on his way northward before the expira-
ton of fortnight. The object of the
Courts there seems to be to ascertain the
facts and not the law in the case, and
when an offender is proved guilty no
technicalites are allowed to interfere.
- According to conservative estimate
by the editor of Hard1rare this years
product of the bicycle factories of the
United States will amount to something
like 100000 wheels, and withal the trade
has suffered from positive inability on
the part of the manufacturers to supply
the un paralleled demand. With the many
new firms contemplating entry upon this
seductive business, and the material en-
largement of existing factories, next years
supply of wheels should reach the enor-
nous numb of 100000, excluding the
mum Der which may be expected to be sent
to these shores from every land with an
intelligent manufacturing population.
Notwithstanding this large prospective
supply, Hardware ventures to prophecy
that the end of the season of 1896 will find
very few wheels in the hands of sellers or
producers to carry over into 1897. If any
proof be needed to show that cycling has
ceased to be mere fad or sport, and has
become established as new method Of
human locomotion which is destined to
become almost universal, the figures cited
above should be all-sufficient evidence OF
that fact.
