on Il sharp personal debate. in which
Mr.. Hill, Mr.. Sherman, Mr.. Hoar, Mr..

The Great Financier Paid Excessive Prices
for Them.
"Shrewd as Jay Gould was in every
branch of finance" flower merchant
said to me the other day, she had no
idea whatever of the value of orchids
his great hobby. The old orchid col
lection up at Irvington has run down
now, but during Gould's lifetime it was
one of the finest in the world. The
amount of money that had been spent
on it, however, was enormous. Care
full, conservative buying by an orchid
expert would have gathered it together
at almost fraction of the sum actually
paid out. Many exquisite and rare va
rieties were numbered in it, it is true,
but an excessive price was paid for the
most of them.
'The old financier's ways in this were
well known, and people with fine or
chids to sell seldom failed to get the
sum they asked. Actually, he used to
pay as much as $50 at times for orchids
that were hardly worth a quarter of
that. In London he had agents con-
stantly on the lookout for rare plants
of this species, and he paid them prices
that they could have obtained nowhere
else"

A Village Bell.

For more than 20 years the quaint old
town of Bowmansville, Pa, has had
what is known as a village bell. 1t is
swung between two high upright poles
and was paid for by public subscription.
The leading object of it's ringing is to
announce to farmers and other working
people the time of day. The first bell
in the morning at Bowmansyille is the
signal for the people to arise, and in
summer most of the residents are out
that early. The II o'clock bell an
nounces that it is time to leave the fields
and prepare for dinner. At four
o'clock in the afternoon they prepare
for supper when the bell rings. This
bell saves the farmers and town folks
the necessity of providing dinner bells
of their own. The people in this vicin-
ity rely upon it as much as other folks
do their watches and clocks,

Between the Fast and the UnskiIlful

Every day cyclists tumble over each
other, pick themselves up, mount their
wheels and are Off again without giving
the affair second thought. Such mis-
haps, says the New York Sun, are pecul-
lar to the sport. A new rider is bound
to wabble about and lose his head at the
most unexpected time, and it is proyerb-
ial that when trying to steer clear of an
obstruction he Is sure to run plump into
it. When a WARBLER meets scorcher it
is said that the safest course is for the
former to make a bee line for the latter,
with determination to wreclzing him
on the spot. By this means the safety
of both riders is assured. Accidents
with wabblers are looked upon as iney-

them which can be repaired by black

DESTRUCTIVE LIGHTNING.
Strokes That Have Resulted in Enormous
Loss of Life.

strokes That nave Resulted In Enormous
Loss of Life.
The most destructive strokes of light
ming have been those which have caused
explosions. There have been several
notable instances of accidents of this
kind. Thus, on August IS, 1863, says
the Bangor Commercial, the tower of
st. Nazaire, at Brescia, was struck by
lightning. In large vault beneath the
tower lay an immense quantity of gun
powder. This Immediately exploded;
sixth part of the whole city of BrescIa
was destroyed, while not single build
ing escaped damage. The stones of
the tower were flung up into the air
and carried by the force of the en-
plosion to immense distances. The num-
Der of persons killed was 5000. In an
other case, the fortress of Luxembourg,
in which again there was stored a great
quantity of gunpowder, was struck by
lightning. The explosion that followed
reduced the whole of the lower town
to heap of ruins. In this instance.
some of the stones composing the fort
ress were hurled TO a distance of close
on three miles. Again, in November.
1856, the church of St. John, in the
Island of Rhodes, which was used as a
powder magazine, which struck in the
same way. The church and the houses
in the neighborhod were destroyed, and
more than 200 dead bodies were discoy-
cred among, the debris.
