Bottled Bells.

If you are musical, You will enjoy
nothing better than "a chime Of bottle
BELLS" which, while it may sound very
difficult, is really very easily arranged
Your apparatus will consist Of two
chairs, two long poles or sticks and 1s
bottles The chairs must be placed the
length of the stick apart, back to back
upon each stick place nine bottles sus-
pended by a string tied about the neck,
with loop big enough to slip over the
stick. Place one stick with each end
resting on the seat Of the chair and the
other resting on the top Of the back
For a hammer almost any stick will do
to beat with. For quick tunes two sticks
should be used
If the bottles are all Of the same shape
and size, they can be tuned to produce
all the notes of the scale by pouring wa
ter into them. The more water the low
er the note, or differently shaped bottles
can be used to fill the places when the
correct note cannot be produced 1t is
not possible to tell just how much water
to use, for it varies with the thickness
Of the glass. You may have as many
bottles as you like and there may be two
players, one on each side.

A Four Legged Bird.

The crested hoazin of British Gull
ana, the only survivor Of race Of birds
which are known as fossils, is described
in The Popular Science News The
hoazin inhabits the most secluded for
ests of South America, and its survival
beyond its congeners is doubtless owing
to its retiring habits and the fact that
it feeds on wild arum leaves, which
gives its flesh a most offensive flavor,
rendering it unfit for food.
The chief popularity Of the hoazin
consists in the fact that when it is
hatched it possesses four we'll developed
legs The young birds leave the nest
and climb about like monkeys over the
adjoining limbs and look more like tree
toads than birds
The modification of the fore limbs be-
gins at once after Matching; the claws
Of the digits fall off the whole clawlike
hand begins to fatten and becomes
wing shape. Feathers soon appear, and
before full growth is reached not YES
tige remains of its original character.
Professor F. A. Lucas says Of the
hoazin, "The adult birds not only
have no claws upon their wings, but
their thumbs even are so poorly devel-
oped that one would hardly suspect that
in the nestlings we have the nearest ap-
proach to quadruped found among ex-
isting birds"
One curious feature noticed with a
Nesting which had been upset in the
river was its power Of rapid swimming
and diving when pursued Owing to
this power the little creature managed
to evude all efforts to secure it The
prolonged immersion which a nesting
will undergo, instinctively and volun-
tarily, or which an adult bird will en-
dure in an attempt to drown it seems
quite remarkable.

"E Pluribus Unum.S

The circumstances attending the
adoption Of the legend "E Pluribus
Unum" as the motto Of the United
States have never been fully explained
by the historians. 1t was probably used
on coins-and some say upon early
colonial fags-long before it was regu'
larly recognized by the leading officials
of the new republic. The Oldest coin
bearing the motto in full is a colonial
cent coined by New Jersey in the year
1885. The same year it appeared on q
small medal recognized among the col
lectors Of coins as 1.-THE confederate. I"
This medal was a national token, be-
lieve, and was coined by authority OF
the general government 1t bore on one
side IS stars and blazing sun, the lat.
ter surrounded by the word "Confeder-

it is known to the numismatists.
The words in the headline are un-
doubtedly from Virgil's "Moretus, a
poem devoted to description Of GER

Tho Tea Habit.

"The tea habit is growing on the law
abiding people Of this peaceful COM
munity," says the Philadelphia Record
1.-THE victims drink this beverage as the
hardened drunkard drinks whisky. This
is the opinion Of a local physician Of
prominence, who has made study Of
the matter. The Intoxicating effects Of
tea, said he, are not appreciated as
fully as they should be. Cheap or i'm
properly brewed tea is known to have
caused many functional arrangements
of the gravest character. Many Of the
victims, not knowing that their troubles
are due to tea drinking, suffer from
headache, and often from persistent diz.
illness and indigestion. Dependency
and palpitation Of the heart are also
among the complaints. Lastly, that
dread enemy of every man, insomnia,
has many victims among the lot. These
are certainly batch Of troublesome
symptoms Of which any pernicious drug
should be proud. There is great diff
ference in the physiological effect Of tea
on the system. When it has been used
to excess for considerable period, we'll
defined symptoms supervene. There can
be added to the list already given hal
lucinations, nausea, anore1ia. prostra-
tion and anxiety and peculiar kind Of
intoxication, ending, after hours Of
vigil, in torpor from exhaustion. >"

on account of certain element of mys-
terry which, it is claimed, surrounds
it. Although THE ENQUIRER printed
q full and accurate story of the cir
cumstances surrounding the killing,
Immediately after the occurrence, and
has closely kept up with all the devel-
ments since, for a better understanding
of the situation, it will probably not
be amiss to 60 over the whole thing
again.
While returning from their work in
Blacksburg, at about $40 O'Clock on
the night of the 9Th of February last,
two young clerks-Messrs. Jim and
Ed uff-stumbled upon the body of
a man lying on the edge of the side
walk. 1t was just opposite the resi-
dence of Mrs. Sumner. The first i'm
preston of the young men was that
their find was some unfortunate who
had imbibed too much liquor. Strik-
ing match and commencing an inves'
tigation, they found that the man was
a stranger. There was an ugly bruise
on the mans face, and blood on his
neck and in his hair; also a small
puddle on the ground. The body was
still slightly warm but the man was
dead.
The finders of the body, of course,
lost no time in raising an alarm, and
within a very few minutes quite a
crowd had collected but the identity
of the deceased remained mystery
until the arrival of Mr.. J. w. Thom-

nsaY Your Grace, Boy"

The Duke Of Hamilton s barriers hunt
during the season in this neighborhood,
and the "meet" is a welcome relief
from the monotony Of rural life. On one
Of these occasions not long ago, when the
duke himself was present, the services
of bright Suffolk youth were requisi-
toned to hold his grace's horse. The
duke addressed some kindly remark to
the boy, who promptly replied, Eyes,
sirr' "Why don't you say your
grace?'" interposed one of the attend
ant horsemen. "Say your grace, boy!"
Whereupon the youngster reverently put
his hands together and audibly recited
the words, "For what we are about to

folk! 1t needs scarcely be said that he
presently had due cause for thankful
ness.-Gentleman's Magazine.

WILLIAMS TRAGEDY.
Sensational Trial To Come
Up This Week.
FACTS DEVELOPED AT THE INQUEST.
Was It Murder, and If So, By Whose
Hand was the Bloody Deed Accom-
plished? These Questions the
jury will Answer.

During the term of the court of gen:
eral sessions now sitting, it is expected
that there will be tried the most SEN
sational criminal case that has come to
the attention of the people of this
county; at least during the last ~
wears. We have reference to the case
of the state against Marion r. Reese,
Daniel F. Luckie and Mrs. Ellen An
derson for the murder of Charles I.
Williams, at Blacksburg, on the 9Th
day of February last. The trial will
probably be commenced today or to-
morrow.
This case is of especial interest, not
only on account of the prominence
and standing of the accused but also

"Hush |" not word about this. "
Then one of the men entered the resi-
dence of Mr.. Reese without knocking
or striking light. The other went to
the side door of Mrs. Anderson's house ;
and in an excited, nervous voice, said,
"Let me in quick !" The door was
opened from the inside, and by the
light that came through the aperture,
witness recognized Daniel Luckie. In
the meantime, witness heard scuftiing
noise that sounded as if it came from
the ground opposite the residence OF
Mrs. Roberts. Later on she saw the
dead body of the deceased lying near
where she had heard the struggling.
The testimony of M. R. Reese, Dan
iel Luckie and Mrs. Anderson was OF
the same general purport. Reese had
been at the residence of Mrs. Ander-
son from to 9 o'clock. He then went

An Arctic Christmas.

Christmas came almost before we
were aware. Sports had been arranged
for the occasion, and at Q 80 we assem-.
bled.
A double row Of ice columns led away
in dim perspective over the ice covered
bay for more than 900 yards, reminding
one Of an alabaster colonnade forming
the approach to an ancient Greek tenn
pie. Over these were laid bamboo poles,
and at each end Of the course a red
torchlight was thrust into the snow.
We then INDUCED in hurdle racing and
other sports. 1t was strange spectacle,
with the wild figures of the Innuits and
the fur clad members Of the party, now
in the cold blue light of the moon, now
in the bright red light from the torches,
grouped about the contestant; and the
towering, gloomy mass Of Mount Bart
lett in the background. The games were
hurried through, for it was cold sport
with the thermometer "a degrees below
zero.-Frank Wilbert Stokes in Gen.

The railroad pass and the notes gave
the jury the first clue to the mystery
that seemed at all tangible. The name
on the pass and then the reference to
"Foster" and measels, pointed to Mrs.
Ellen Anderson as Williams's cores
pondent. Foster was Mrs. Anderson's
little daughter, and both were just re-
covering from the measels. The spot
on which the body of the deceased
was found, was only about IS yards
from the residence of Mrs. Anderson.
The investigation was continued.
Mr.. ]. H. Hughes testified that on
the night of the killing, at about $50
O'Clock, he met Mr.. NJ. r. Reese and
Daniel Luckie on Main street. They
were on opposites sides and were look

Miss Mary Harrington, who was
boarding at the residence of Mr.. G. NJ.
Moore, just across the street from the
spot where the body of Williams was
found, and nearly opposite the resi-
dences of Mr.. Reese and Mrs. Ander-
son, testified that at about 8 o'clock
she was sitting in her room reading.
She heard three pistol shots-frst one
and then two more. Looking out OF
the window, she saw two men walking
down the street. They were opposite
the residence of Mrs. Roberts. One oi

had come to Blacksburg. He had
come there as mutual friend of her.
self and husband and persuaded hel
to forego divorce proceedings that she
had instituted. She admitted that she
had written the notes found on the
body of the deceased but said thai
she thought she was writing them to
her husband who was lodging an ar.
rest warrant and was afraid to show
himself. Mr.. N. w. Hardin asked
how it was, if this was true, that she
was unwilling to have her husband
come to see her at night and wanted
him to call in daylight. At this ques'
ton she seemed confused and she fail
ed to answer.
The investigation of the jury con-
tinued from Thursday night until the
following Monday afternoon, when q
verdict was reached to the effect that
the deceased came to his death from q
gunshot wound inflicted at the hands
of NJ. R. Reese, and that Daniel Luck
lie was accessory. Afterward Mrs
Ellen Anderson was included in the
verdict as an accessory also.
When the verdict was rendered, Mr.
Reese was not to be found. Luckie
and Mrs. Anderson were placed un'
der arrest, and Luckie afterwards es'
capped.
Mrs. Anderson applied for bail, which
was granted. Then, at the spring
term of the court, she demanded q
trial. The solicitor was not willing to
20 into trial of her case without the
others, and refused to accede to her
demand. Shortly before the June
term of the court Of general sessions
convened, Reese and Luckie surren-
dered to the sheriff, and, during the
term, also demanded a trial. On &C.
count of the absence of certain material
witnesses, the solicitor was not ready
and failed to give out the bills of in
dictment.
AS the next step, Messrs. Reese and
Luckie made application for bail be.
fore Associate Justice Jones, and bail
was granted in the sum of $4,000 for
Reese, and $4,000 for Luckie. The
defendants are represented by Major
James F. Hart, Thos. F. Mellow and
General Leroy F. Youmans. The
state is represented by Solicitor Henry,
and there has been a story in circula-
ton to the effect that he would be as
sisted by Hon. w. C. Glenn of Atlanta ;
but of that he has no information.
That the case may be postponed again
is, of course, possible; but that it will
come up during this week is reasona-
bly, certain.

Raw EgRs as q Tonic.

A raw egg is an excellent tonic with
which to begin these warm days. 1t is
strengthening and tends to prevent that
tired feeling so prevalent at this season
Of the year. If prepared in the follow
ing way, it is really delicious drink:
Put the yolk Of an egg into dish with
a tesspoonful Of white sugar and a tea
spoonful of orange or lemon juice and
beat lightly together with fork. Put
the white on plate and add pinch OF
salt. Then with a broad bladed knife
beat 1t to stiff froth. Now, as lightly
as possible, mix all together in the dish.
Then as lightly transfer it to a clean
tumbler, which it will nearly fill II
properly made. 1t must not stand in a
warm place, as it soon becomes liquid
and loses its snowy look. Any fruit
juices may be used in place of orange
or lemon, or even brandy if the doctor
has ordered it.-New York Advertiser.

Some day it will be tunnel connect

raise money in London to complete their
tunnel before bridge can be built over
North river. Only 1880 feet remain to
connect the two holes bored from either
shore, each Of which is now full Of wa
ter. This water has simply soaked
through since work was abandoned on

Daniel F. Luckie, one of the accused, is
a brother of Mrs. Anderson, and was re-
siding in the same house with her. At the
coroner's inquest, he claimed that he was
i'm his sisters house at the time of the
shooting, heard the shots and went out to
see what the matter was but could discov-
er nothing wrong. Miss Mary Harrington
stated that few minutes after the shoot
ing, she saw door of Mrs. 'Anderson's
house open, and by the light from within,
saw q man whom she recognized as Luck
lie, enter. After the verdict of the coro-
ner's jury, Luckie was arrested but es-
capped during the night and was not seen
any more in these parts until, in COM
pany with Reese, he surrendered to the
sheriff in June last.

A Bicycle Disease.

Mothers whose daughters do a great
deal Of cycling should know about q
new cycling disease. People have been
declaring that they have been suddenly
seized with q wild impulse to jump
from their machines-an uncomfortable
impulse which apparently seizes them
at the most awkward times, such as
midway down hill. 1t is no new thing,
after all-at least no newer than the
cultivation Of overstrung nerves among
us. People afflicted with this mysterious
malady have been OVERRIDING their rid
ing, and the only cause for wonder is
that their i'll treated nervous systems
have not taken its revenge in an even
more unpleasant manner.
