beautiful damsels.
Before the throne stood one OF the
great princes who had congregated
about Penelope, seeking her hand IN
marriage.
1T is now twenty years, most gra-
cious and beautiful queen" he said,
"since our king and your husband,
Ulysses, departed from these shores,
We have all heard Of the great and
wondrou7 deeds he has performed, yet
with it ell CAT we call him noble? All
these long years he has left you, pearl
Of the universe, the wisest and best
Of women! Not one word has he vouch-
safed you that he still lives, yet you re-
fuse to listen to the offers that l and
The other princes continually lay before
you.
Hear me out, gracious queen" he
continued, as Penelope raised her hand
10 stop his speech. 1T is twenty years
today since our master sailed away.
Why longer delay to give your answer?
You have put us off all these years I'M
der the pretense of completing the
funeral robe for Laertes. But we have
heard that while you work at the web
IN the daytime, the night sees the I'M
winding Of the carefully wrought fig
ures. Oh, queen, do not rebuke me
Tor thus speaking! voice but the SEN
!iments of all your followers. We i'm
plore you to settle our hopes and fears
this day; we beg you to fix your choice
Spon one Of u.s."
For moment the queen sat there as
II Supplied by the impertinence Of the
prince, then drawing her regal figure
to its full height she looked around
her; her face overspread with dignity
and benign pity.
"You know not what you say" she
said, in low, firm voice; then, turn
ing to her train, she passed from the
presence-chamber to her own apart
ments.
In the meantime very different
scene was being enacted in another
and more lowly part of the kingdom
Eumaeus, a swineherd, had found at
his door that morning poor beggar
praying for succor, And the man hip
self in need, gave his little TO the
stranger. While they two were to-
gether Eumaeus suddenly started VI
at sight of Telenachus, the SON Of
Ulysses, who had Just this moment re-
turned from long and fruitless search
for his father.
How now, Eumaeus?". cried che
youth; tell me how progress things al
the palace"
"Alas, MASTER" answered Eumaeus
all is not we'll. Since the mobiles tried
to take your life, before you went in
search of our beloved king, that they
might more readily lay siege to ouI
queen. the land has seen sorry sights
Day after day, the palace rings with
.aughter; the kings substance is squan-
aered, and the queen is not free from
the impudenoe of the nobility. They
modest her continually and desire hel
to marry one Of them. But she, noble
soul, is true to her lord, and will have
none of them. You know the web she
has been making for Laertes? This
very day, I heard some say, she would
be rebuked for never finishing it. Ant
they declared last night that this day

A PRETTY o1OnY.
Friendship That Sprang Up Between
 Bison and a Deer.


 The bison of India has never been kept long in captivity, except in tho case of one bull, which is now in the possession of his highness the mahara- jah of Mysore.
 How this bull came to survive, when so many of his fellows had succumbed. is very pretty story. It is related by the author of Gold, Sport and Coffee Planting in Nysore," ," who took it down from the lips of his neighbor, MT. Park, who captured the animal, and was knowing to all the details of the story.
 When captured the bull was supposed to be about three days old. A week afterwards young doe sambur, pur- sued by jungle dogs, ran into a laborer's cottage, and was made prisoner.
 It was decided to keep the deer as a companion for the bison, and the two were accordingly kept together, though never ahut up.
 They were fed on milk and then al lowed to graze, and soon became insep- arable. They were fed at twelve o'clock and at four in the afternoon, and seemed to know their feeding time ex- actly.
 When the bison was two years old it was thought time to fit him with nose rope. He was tied to tree, his nose bored, and hewas liberated. He ran all about the grounds, and then, for the first and only time, he was heard to below.
 After this he was regularly led out to graze. The sambur would sometimes remain behind, but seemed to have no difficulty in finding him, but, putting her nose to catch the scent, would start at once in the right direction.
 The bison had no such power, and if ever he missed his companion would go wandering about till he found her.
 When the bull was three years old he was presented to the maharajah and was sent off to the nearest railway sta- tion-some sixty miles away.
 The doe soon noticed his absence, held up her nose as usual, got the di- rection, and, when the bull was five or six miles away, she overlook him. He SuoWeu uIle uosG cAGIeHle ucIiSHo duu the two travelled happily together to Mysore.
 MT. Park saw the bull in 1891, and two or three years afterwards Mir. Elliot was glad to learn that the bison and the deer were still inseparable companions and both in excellent health.
 He believes that the bull would long ago have pined away and died but for the society of the doe.

HORTICULTURAL NOTES.

THE pecan will come into bearing in about eight years. The hickory re- luires somewhat longer time.
 ONE who knows writes that the hickory will grow readily if planted in the fall, and, contrary to the gen. eral opinion, will grow when four years old after being in box in a drawer all that time.
 DR. MILLER says that walnuts grow about as freely as sound corn grains. Simply cover in the fall an inch or two deep. These should be planted where the tree is to stay, as they soon get so large that they are unwieldy and not so sure to grow
 CANAIGRE culture. we think, is bound to grow to considerable volume and importance in this country. We have no doubt that it can be grown success fully on any sandy soil that has enough moisture, and we see that it is stated that it can be grown on heavy soils. Just what can be done with it in the states should be made matter of in- vestigation by the experiment stations. Farmers Voice.

HYPNOTISM IN COURT.
They Use It in Their Intrigues-Learned
 Men Pronounce Opinions.

Men Pronounce Opinions.
 An interesting case was recently brought before the criminal court of Munich. A Polish adventurer named Luberz-Czyuski had appeared in Dres- den as professional hypnotizer. Ores den has many rich people who have nothing special to keep them employed: and the man with the unpronounceable name found plenty of faithful follow ers Among these was lady of good family, beautiful and rich. The pro lessor declared his love to her, she accepted him, and there under ordinary circumstances would have been an end to the matter. Unfortunately, how ever, Czyuski had already wife, and he tried to get out of the difficulty by a sham marriage, asking his new spouse to keep their union secret. But the high-born lady's relatives got wind of the affair and had the adventurer arrested, accusing him of having hyp- notized his victim. Half dozen learned men, says the Echo, Berlin, were summoned from as many uni versailles to decide whether 1t was possible to influence a person to such an extent that all resistance is impos- sible. The jury failed to be convinced that such is the case. The charge against Czyuski, of having made the lady subservient to him without her consent, was dismissed, but he was convicted of disorderly conduct and of criminal acts against the public moral ity and sentenced to three years inn prisonment, with five years loss of civic honors. The Nation, Berlin, says: "I do not believe that hypnotic influ- exhibitions of professional hypnotizers we are led to think that they command obedience. If a hypnotized person is told: You are dog, he will begin to bark and crawl on all fours. But I be- ieve that all such people are only somewhat stupid individuals who fol- low no other influence than the wish to appear interesting or to please-for some reason or other-the hypnotizer. l have often discovered proofs of this. One man, for instance, was told that in certain place there was wall too high for him to jump over. Hewent to this place and began to jump, but he always jumped backward! None of the great scientists who interest themselves in hypnotism have ever declared that ! they themselves could be influenced. It is impossible with a person feeling his responsibility, and neither judge nor jury could be influenced"

CELTIC CIVILITY.
It Is Manifested in the Most Ordinary
 Conversations.

Conversations.
 The gift of the Irish peasant for making expressive and humorous phrases is not by any means fiction of literature. The use of ''pat" phrases is natural to him.
 A clerical traveller in Cavan not long ago asked peasant how far it was to a certain village and was answered.: 1.-Two miles,
 What! Only two miles?" said the traveller, who had before traversed the distance and found it a long road.
 ''Well, your reverence" answered the peasant, ''it is two miles shtrong and rich, so to spake!'
 A somewhat similar story is told by one of Lord Zetland's party, who were making inquiries into the condition of a distressed district. They were cross ing a lake; a gale was blowing and waves were dashing over the boat.
 The gentleman referred to had been assured that an Irish peasant, if treated well, will always agree with what is said to him rather than appear disagree able Itstruck the gentleman that here was a good chance to put the assertion to the proof.
 ''There is very little wind, Pat" he said to one of the boatmen
 The answer came through the howl ing of the clements:
 ''Very little, indade, yer honor, but fwhat there is is moighty shtrong"

A FAMOUS RUSSIAN REGIMENT.
Organized by Peter the Great and Always
 Fayorite with the Car,

Organized by Peter the Great and Always
 a Favorite with the Czar.
 The Preobrajenslzi regiment of the imperial guards, which has taken so important part in the ceremonies ac- companying the funeral of the late Al exander H., and which has had the honor of precedence over all the other regiments of Russia, in so far as to be first among the troops to take the oath of allegiance to the youthful Czar Nicholas H., is one of the oldest regi- ments in the army of the imperial guard and may be said to owe its origin to Peter the Great, who, when but boy at Preobrajenslzi, near Mos COW, formed his playmates into little band of miniature soldiers, and thus at the age of eleven years gave an early proof of his faculty for organization. This little force was subsequently, called 'La Compagnie de Divertisse- ment de Pierre le Grand" It was the wish of his imperial highness the late Czar Alexander III. to be inferred in the uniform of his favorite regiment, as indeed it was also the desire of his predecessor, Alexander II.
 The present Czar Nicholas II, is colonel of the famous Preobrajenski regiment, and at the various state functions consequent to his office al most invariably wears the costume of the regiment to which he is most at tached. The uniform is a dark blue one, and his imperial majesty, when attired in the full dress uniform of his rank, with golden epaulettes and wear ing the light blue riband of the Order of St. Andrew, is said to look exceed ingly well.

SURVIVAL OF BARBARITY.

It Is Manifested in the Modern Love for
 Jewelry and Ornaments.
 Personal adornmentS made out of money current in this and other realms rank with fish bones thrust through noses as guide for forming an opinion as to the degree and kind of cultivation possessed by the wearer, says the New York Times. Antique coins at the end of mans watch chain, or as links in woman's girdle, are not altogether ob- jectionable, but the withdrawal of quarter eagles or whole sovereigns from general circulation for use in the decoration of either public bar-rooms or private waists, can only result from a survival of savage instincts. Every instance of it offends numberless canons of good taste and more than sev- eral canons of ordinary morality. Hence it is possible to reflect with tolerable equanimity, and even with a certain grim joy, upon the loss j-st sustained by much bewritten and apparently more admired visitor to our town and stage, of fifteen British gold pieces and thirty-fve American ones. These she was taking, it seems, not sedately and properly to savings bank, but in clear violation of esthetic laws to a jewellers shop, there to be cunningly united into a most barbarous zone. That some guardian divinity made impossible this purposes accomplishment is thorough ly and wholly well. The coins, indeed, are lost, and they had intrinsic value, being gold. and sentimental meaning, being marked with the initials of for mer owners, but for advertising uses they remain as effective as before. Neither the kindly youth, whose mu- nifcence they recorded, nor the sprightly nymph, whom they (the coins) were tenderly to embrace, will lan- guish unremarked.

 Addition.

But, notwithstanding they are now in the city itself, there are few lots for sale yet at prices corresponding with the "Sound Money Doctrine" of President Cleveland and his cuckoos, which means that kind of dollar which will buy two dollars worth of property. These lots are near the new elec- tric car line which is now in operation. The lots are in the city and their occupants do not need to ride into town, but the presence of electric street cars is popular and adds market value to the property. Inside of five years this will be business property. Buy lot now for residence and when business crowds you out the rents will SUD- port you in house outside in some addition where you can keep horse and drive into town and collect your rents.
