Scribes Who Were Always Ready fox a
Personal Encounter.
In the eighteenth century SAYS the
Gentleman's Magazine, the editor OF
the Daily Courant was deliciouslv
amused when he wrote: II will give no
comments of my own in this paper,
as l assume that other people have sense
enough to make reflections for them
selves!" Henry Bate, the editor of the
Morning Post, never picked his words
with care. His savage onslaughts raised
smiles in coffee houses and clubs and
also brought him face to face with
Helived up to the motto: 81 never apollo
gize. never retract"
Capt. Stoney, buck OF the time,
demanded satisfaction for very per-
sonal paragraph thatappeared in Bates
paper, but he got little. THE editors
choice lay between a horsewhipping
and duel, and he chose the duel. The
two gentlemen, meeting in the Adelphi
tavern, in the Strand, called for a room,
shut the door, and, being furnished
with pistols, fred at each other without
effect They then drew their swords
and continued to fight till the door
was burst open by the police. Bate was
not the only London editor called upon
to use sword and pistol, as well as pen,
and at a later date an editor in the
north, bravely focusing public opinion
on the instigators of a dastardly
trade outrage, sat night after night
with q revolver on his desk, prepared
for surprise visit.

SLEEP AFTER EATING.
Facts That Seem to Make 1t an In
healthy Practice.

healthy Practice.
We would not now revert to this
oft-discussed question to give any
ones theoretical views or personal
beliefs in the matter, or to bring
forward the familiar argument that
because animals sleep just after
they have eaten, hence the human
animal should do the same, says the
Medical Record. DR.. Schulz, Of Fri
bourg Ga Med Mod, january Is,
1886, has, however, approached the
subject from the chemico-experi-
mental side, and his results are
worthy Of record Having Analysed
the stomach's contents in two nor
nal subjects a few hours after meals,
some Of which were followed BY
sleep and others not, lie finds that
sleep has for its constant effect the
weakening Of the stomachs mobility
and at the same time there is an in
crease in the acidity Of the gastric
juice. On the other band, simple
repose in the horizontal position
stimulates the motive function Of the
stomach, but does not increase the
acidity Of gastric juice. The con-
clusion is hence reached that, while
one should stretch himself out for a
rest in the horizontal decubitus after
a hearty meal, he should resist the
tempting Morpheus, especially if
there be present a dilated state of
the stomach or if its juices be-
hyperacid.

Ehe MUSK ok the Most Expensive. the
BuffaIo's Head Next.
The head of the musk OK is the most
costly of mounted game heads and next
Is the head of the bison, or buffalo.
Fine buffalo heads, well mounted, bring
from $3.50 to $500. A head at $500, says
the New York Sun. would be one excep-
tionally large and choice; and fine
head can be bought for $3.50 Fifteen
years ago well-mounted buffalo heads
could be bought for from $50 TO 500.
The increase in price is accounted for
by the growing scarcity of the buffalo,
which has now practically disappeared
from the United States. The wood
bisons of the Great Slave lake region
Of British North America, which inhabit
woodland or mountain districts, are
rather more numerous than the prairie
huffaloes of this country, but their
numbers are limited and decreasing.
The wood bison is not so large rs the
prairie buffalo, and its hair is straight
ar. and very black.
Musk OK heads arc held at $500 and
upward One musk OK head owned by
a taxidermist in this city is valued at
s75C.

the horses a sudden yank he turned
them sharply toward Ninth avenue and
whipped them up until, by quick eff

traced to a contrivance for simplifying
the transit Of coal from the English
mines to the places of shipment The
invention consists Of double parallel
line of wooden beams or trans, fixed to
the ground and furnished with fanges
to prevent the wheels of the cars from

THE BISHOPS WIVES.
A Good Story Told of Young Ken

Rev. w. w. Hill, editor of the
Presbyterian Herald, at Louisville,
Ky, before the war, was very fond
of a joke and liked to tell it, even
though it was at his own expense.
In the early years of his ministry he
was pastor Of the church of Shelby
vile, KY Bishop Smith had charge
of the diocese of Kentucky, and in
the course of his visitations to the
churches, he sometimes spent the
Sabbath in Shelbyville. Whenever
he did 50 the Presbyterian pastor in
vited him to preach in his pulpit,
which he consented to do. Now it
seems that Rev. Mr. Hill had made
one or two attempts to get wife,
and had failed, while the bishop,
Notwithstanding his Ratchet face
and google eyes, had his third wife.
One Saturday evening, Hill, hearing
that the bishop was in town, called
on him and invited him to preach for
him the next day. As he sat in the
pulpit behind him, he noticed a lady
in the congregation, not given to
paying very close attention to the
preacher, cycling the bishop very
closely This was so unusual, that
it excited his curiosity. Meeting
her the next day, he said to herr
Mrs. j, you seemed to be very
much Interested yesterday in the
bishops sermon, l should like TO
know what it was that attracted
your attention. Hesitating to an
