Their Head Master.

There are many stories told of the
late archbishop. One relates to his
Wellington college days. The Prince
Consort, attended by single equerry,
rode over to Wellington, and arrived just
as the doctor was about to address his
boys. The prince expressed wish that
the master should proceed with the
address in his presence: Having,
with bare head. as etiquette de-
manded, shown Prince Albert to seat,
he turned to the boys, and, replacing his
hat, began his lecture. Just then the
equerry went up and touched him on the
elbow. CDR. Benson" said he. CHS
royal highness is present" IT am
proud to know it." was his reply, and the
doctor serenely continued with his inter-
rupted address. Scarcely had a dozen
words been spoken, however, before the
persistent courtier again broke in with,
''Dr. Benson. we all remain uncovered in
his royal highness' presence" Il am
his royal highness' most humble and de-
voted servant rejoined the future arch
bishop, at the same time bowling low,
with uncovered head, to the prince;
''but.' said he, replacing his head COW
ering, and turning to the boys once more,
II am also my boys head master. =

DOCTORED THE CIDER.
AS Result Lutz Piper Came Near Losing
His Reason and His Life.

"Jim-j jams of the hard cider variety
is not a new thing among the farmers
of Pennsylvania, but Lutz Piper has
discovered to his sorrow that it is not
wise thing to add too many ingredients
to apple juice. Piper is a prosperous
farmer of Somerville, and his cider vault
is always we'll filled. Recently, in or
der to put an edge on cider, he threw
some rye and lime in the vault. After
allowing it to stand over night to gain
strength. he drank freely of the mix
ture 1t took effect in remarka bly,
short time, and Piper began to see all
kinds of people and animals who were
bent upon taking his life.
In his delirium he fed from his home
and wandered aimlessly about the woods
for several days in an cndeavor to keep
out of reach of his tormentors. His
wife and family became alarmed at his
protracted absence and a party of neigh
bors instituted search for the missing
man. He was found seated upon limb
of pine tree, about forty feet from the
ground.
After he had been coaxed into descend
ing it was discovered that Piper was in
a deplorable condition. He was almost
nude, having torn his clothing from his
body in desperation. His mind was
blank, and it is feared that he will have
to be committed to an asylum as hope
less maniac as the result of his debauch.

Honor MacLareaa.

The announcement is made that the
Lotos club of New York is going to give
a dinner in honor of Ian Maclaren. which
leads the Boston Herald to remark that
it is to be hoped that the distinguished
Scotch author will not experience repe-
tition of the embarrassment that one of
his countrymen. Mr. FarJeon, was put to
when he visited this country and was
entertained by the same club several
years ago. The presiding officer. in in
PRODUCING Mr.. Farjeon to the club at the
beginning of the post-prandial exercises,
described the pleasure he had expert
enced in reading BLADE o. Grass one
of Farjeon's works. giving all the par
ticulars as to the time and place he had
experienced this pleasure. When the
novelist arose to respond to the toast in
his honor, he felt in duty bound to say
that he had listened with mingled feel
ings of pleasure and establishment to the
presiding officers description of the
pleasure he had experienced in reading
''Rlade O. Grass" inasInuch as the time
when he said he had read it was several
wears before it was written!

ABOUNDS WITH GAME.
Yellowstone Park is Crowded. with Bears
Deer and Elk.


Deer and Elk.
All kinds of game except buffalo are
multiplying rapidly in the Yellowstone
National park. There are thousands on
thousands of deer. elk and antelope.
During the past season herds of elk num-
boring from two to four hundred have
been seen at various times, and the deer
are fully as plenty. Bears are getting
too numerous, and steps must be taken
soon to rid the park of them They are
so bold that they will enter and take
possession of the camps of tourists and
cannot be driven out. The laws govern
ing the park will not permit killing them.
Meat must be hung in trees to prevent
their getting it, and cooks are very fire.
quently driven from their tents by the
animals.
The small herd of half-tame buffalo
that were kept on Dot island, Yellow
stone lake, all summer, have been moved
to an enclosure near the Lake hotel, and
Capt. Waters, who put them there, has
returned to his home at Fond du Lac,
Wis. In the spring he will return them
to the island and there are great hopes
that a large herd will grow up. They
are the only buffalo in the park now, all
others having been killed in the past two
seasons by poachers:
Strenuous efforts will be put forward
this winter for an appropriation of $780,
600 for roads in the national park, the
$4,000 given the past few years not be-
ing enough to give much new road, and
many hundred miles are necessary. 1t

the roads already built

Wild Turkeys in the South.

Wild turkeys are still plentiful IN the
lands of the South. particularly in Ala
bama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Arkan-
sas But the Indian territory, the
Chuctaw country especially, is the para
disc of the turkey hunter, and there it
is that these great birds seem to reach
their most heroic size. Chief Ross of the
Cherokee Nation told me that he killed
a gobbler a few years ago that I'M

Grant saIuted by the Enemy.

AS soon as communication had been
opened with our base of supplies Gen.
Grant manifested an eagerness to ac-
quaint himself with the position of the
enemy with a view of taking the of
our right, with several staff officers, to
make personal examination of that
portion of the line. When he came in
sight of Chattanooga creek, which sep
arated our pickets from those of the en-
envy, he directed those who had accom-
panied him to halt and remain out of
sight while he advanced alone, which
he supposed he could do without attract
ing much attention.
The pickets were within hailing dis
lance of one another on opposite banks

nacle necessities are supplied by most
peculiar artificial means. The goose bar
nacle differs from other varieties in that
it hangs from ships, floating timber or
other substances near the surface Of the
water, and has only the power to attach
once to any object. This barnacle being
taken from it's means of support, an ar
tifcial one had to be supplied. This was
done by means of piece of common cot
ton string. This is tied around the bar
nacle and to cork from which the bar
nacle hangs near the surface of the wa
ter in glass case in the aquarium. The
barnacle is so small that the string is as
large as rope in comparison, and it
looks very, comical hanging, the featnery

POISONOUS POTATOES.
An Alkaloid Called So1aniEe Does Great
Damage Sometimes.

An Alkaloid Called Solanire Does Great
Damage Sometimes.
It is not very rare to see serious acct
dents happen by poisoning from the use
of potatoes in places where food is sup
piled by contract, as in schools, prisons
and barracks, and astonishment is ex-
pressed that this precious and highly
estimated food stuff should be capable
of doing so much damage. 1t is well to
know that the potato, even when abso-
lutely sound, contains a certain amount of
a vegetable alkaloid called solanine.
The remarkable point is that this sola-
nine is much more abundant in summer
than in winter; whereas it amounts to
OO44 per kilogramme from November to
February, it reaches the figure of O.236
in July and August. This evil would not
be very great if the production of the
alkaloid We're not still further increased
by the process of termination and putre-
toes deteriorated in this way may give
rise to cases of poisoning characterized
by vomiting, diarrhoea, fever, dilated
pupils, commissions and profuse sweat
ing.
It is usually in the months of June and
July that these accidents occur, at the
moment when the potatoes of the preced-
ing year have begun to terminate and
rot. The contractors of the above men,
toned establishments send these potatoes
there, since they have no longer any
marketable value, because the new po~
tatoes are already large and reduced in
price.
1t is, therefore, necessary to watch
these supplies in a most careful manner,
and to refuse potatoes that show any
black or softened spots, or that have be-
gun to terminate. AS a general thing
potatoes used in eating should be as fresh
as possible. European Edition of the
Herald

FOUND A GOLD NUGGET.
1t Came Up with Sounding Lead Off
Newfound1and's Coast.

Capt. J. Dahl, master of the Nor
wegian barque Handy, when discharging
a timber cargo at Irvine the other day,
had with him small nugget of gold
which he had found adhering to his
sounding lead after taking soundings off
the coast of Newfoundland a few weeks
ago. Capt. Dahl, who halls from Fred
rikshald, Norway. was at the time on
his way to Dalhousie. New Brunswick,
to load his cargo. The lead had the
usual thick coating of tallow on the end
which comes in contact with the bottom,
and when hauled in he found the tiny
bit of gold, about the size of bean,
sticking to the tallow.
At Dalhousie Capt. Dahl showed it
to the merchant with whom he was
transacting business, and who, on hav-
ing it tested, found it to be pure gold.
Capt Dahl states that before leaving
he had an offer of $4,000 on condition
that he would furnish exclusive informa-
ton as to his precise bearings at the
time he cast the lead, but refused. He
was in British waters at the time and
will first ascertain what the government
authorities there have to say to him on
the subject. He has reported the find
to the custom-house office at Irvine, but
refuses to give up the bit of gold.

of the creek. They had established a
temporary, truce on their own response
allowed to get water from the same
stream without being fired upon by those
on the other side. A sentinel of our
picket guard recognized Gen. Grant as
he approached, and gave the customary
cry, ''Turn out the guard-commanding
general" The enemy on the opposite
side Of the creek evidently heard the
words, and one of his sentinels cried out,
Turn out the guard-Gen. Grantr The
Confederate guard took up the joke, and

Slang for Preachers.

evil communications corrupt good
Manners and association with those
who employ slang habitually is apt to
corrupt the language of purist. Says
the New York correspondent of the Pitts
burg Dispatch. Some of the metropoli-
tan preachers who work in the slums
naturally hear a good deal of slang, but
as a rule, they suppress it. One such,
however. forgot himself last Sunday, ac-
cording to woman who attends his
church regularly. The language he
used really surprised me- she remarked
one afternoon. During his closing words
he actually said Il hope you'll all get
in the push on the great judgment day"
Now. what do you think of that? Such
talk is bad enough on the stage, but it is
hardly fit for the pulpit OF course,
had to agree with her"

New York, March 16.-Speculation at

afloat to affect speculation outside of

of this important announcement was
only passing in its character. This
probably can be explained by the fact

it is to discount future events, has been
