How They Got Up a Row.

AT one of the Croydon inns, Hook and
Mathews got up a mock quarrel before
large company. The wit and the comedian
each appealed most earnestly to the sym
pathy of the company, who, with the true
British prediction for anything in the
shape of row, eagerly espoused the side
of one or other of the champions.
The contest proceeded and Hooks cool
invectives, we are told, grew more and
more cutting and the gesticulations of
Mathews more wild and extravagant.
Blows followed, and the partisans, full of
gin and valor, soon followed the example
of their principals. A general melee sue
ceeded. Candles were knocked out, tables
and chairs overthrown, the glasses "spar-
killed. on the boards, and in the midst OF
the confusion, just in time to avoid the
arrival of the police and the impressive
denouement, the promoters of the riot,
unobserved, effected their escape, leaving
their excitable adherents to compute at
leisure the amount of damage done to
their persons and property and to explain,
If possible, to a magistrate in the morning,
the cause and object of the combat. ITEM.

Rose Was a PIucky Runner.

Much interest is taken in Canada in the
report that Charles d. Rose of London has
challenged for the Americas cup.
Rose is remembered as one of the most
plucky runners Montreal ever turned out.
He ran some close races with the late G.
D. Armstrong one of the fastest men in
side of 900 yards AS miller, on foot,
Rose was probably the best local man Of
his day In Montreal.
Mr.. Rose is native of Montreal and 80
years or so ago was prominent in athletic
sports in that city. Sir John, though born
in Scotland, was always considered Cana
dian, as it was in Canada he was educated
and laid the foundation of the successful
career that ended in his becoming one of

RING BELLS AND EAT sNAlLs.
Two Characteristic Features of q Roman
FestaI Night.

On the night before st. Johns day the
whole city of Rome gives itself up to feast
ing and fun; feasting certainly and fun
AS the Romans choose TO take it,
The two characteristic features Of the
night to the stranger at least were the
bells and snails. Long before the square
was reached there had been heard, through
the cther sounds, n faint tinkling, which
'.."y louder, but at no time became disa-
lie That Same tinkling continued
bout the night. II was made by
lis of little BELLS which had been
idod rou9hlg from clay, baked to crys-
ili!Me hardness and sold at soldo each.
Toward morning they were offered two for
a soldo. They were heaped on tables and
were carried through the crowd in big
wicker baskets.
Every one bought bell and added his
little tinkle to the keeping away of the
witches. Promenaders tinkled them in
one anothor's faces. The sound was SO
small and soothing that such audacity be-
came rather a compliment, at any rate
the pretty girls who had the bells rung in
front Of them seemed rather complimentcd.
Snails were served in all the booths In
Che square. The snails are TO st. John s
what turkey is to Thanksgiving The
Roman who doesn't eat his two dozen on
this night has neglected his duty.
Rome had been crawling with snails for
aweek beforehand They had been brought
to market by bushels, and the small boys
had been principally engaged In herding
them-pieking them up and dropping them
back into the baskets as soon rs they had
crawled out. The sight OF these uneasy
masses of shell and soft, twining flesh had
not given the visitors an appetite for snails.
"You say you don't like themr' asked
the Roman guide as he led the way to a
small cloth covered booth. How do you
know You have never tasted them"
"No."
"But you can eat oystersf"
"Oysters don't crawl around the stumps
of old trees"
"Nonsensoi That's all imagination.
Watch me-
With that he ordered great platterful,
hot from the kettle and began devouring
them, digging out each small, meaty por-
ton with toothpick provided for that
purpose. He smacked his lips with such
evident satisfaction and made SO light Of
his performance that the only thing To be
done was TO follow his example.
A snail isn't bad eating. There Is very
little To IL, and as it is comparatively taste
less the beginner is safe so long as he can
keep his thoughts away from the small boy
and the basket.-Chicago Record.

nature Wrought Upon 1t Picture Of the
Sayiours Face.

A high and rugged eminence near the
Bavarian village of Ober Ammergau is To-
cally known as Mount Calvary, and on that
rocky knoll every ten years the devout Ba-
varian peasants perform the Miracle
Play, )" in which Is represented every de-
tail of the passion of the Saviour. The play
Is performed, IL is said, out of gratitude
to God for causing cessation of desolat-
ing plague which was breathing its pesti-
lential breath over the surrounding vii
lagos in the year 1888, the chief men and
women of the town vowing that thereafter
they would carry out the Christ tragedy
at the opening of each decade as means
Of religious instruction. The last three
performances at ODER Ammergau were Civ
en- in 1870, 1880 and 1890.
At the performance Of the Mysteries"
in 1880 an American lady named Mrs.
Oliver II. Bacon was present and picked
up two small pebbles rs mementos of the
place. Eight years after, while labelling
these relics with the intention of present
ing them to the museum of the Young
Mems library at Atlanta, Mrs. Bacon
made a most startling discovery. She ac-
cidentally turned one of the stones at
certain angle and was dumfounded to see
picture upon 1t, wrought by nature,
which every one who has since examined
the curiosity say is an excellent reproduc-
ton of the general conception of the face
of Christ. The owner has given up all
idea of presenting the oddity to the Allan
ta or any other museum and has been OK
hibiting it always in the interest of some
deserving charity, in the principal cities
Of the eastern states, as well as in France,
Germany, Norway and Russia.
Hard headed biologists, who take but
little stock in supernatural stories of any
kind, particularly those referring to stones,
say that there is no mystery whatever In
this famous "Ober Ammergau stone"
other than that shown I'm the remarkable
resemblance the markings have to face.
According TO their tell, the picture is a
dendritic production, being formed by the
action of dew and rain on the mineral
matter of the stone, which has trickled
into assure and formed remarkable ex-
ample of "accidential resemblance. In
course of time the stone separated at the
fissure, exposing the picture, and it is be-
lieved that If the other half Of the pebble
could be found IL would exhibit dupli-
cate of the image. The stone is of lime
