1t will be remembered that a couple
of years ago Lancaster people were wild
over beet sugar factory, states the
Grant County News, which by the way
they didn't get. The plant was located
at Menomonee Falls, and on Saturday
the company collapsed for about
$40 10000 leaving farmers, and
laborers deep in the hole.
Decoration day will be celebrated
here with appropriate exercises, Mon

Arrangements are in progress for
the placing of two public drinking
fountains on Main Street. One of
them is to be placed on the corner in
front of Cabanis & Reeds Clothing
Store, the money for which is already
subscribed. The other is to be in the
park or some other point on Main
Street and the funds to pay for the
same are to be raised by the w. c. T. l..
of the city. The fountain that has
been selected is very handsome and
approprite design and will cost in the
neighborhood of $3.50. The ladies pro-
pose to raise the amount by giving a
lecture by some lady of note and ask
ing our citizens to purchase tickets.
The city council has generously offered
to pay all expenses of placing the
fountain.

The Duel with Morgan o,conneII.

Alvanley's rare appearances in the
house of lords made his best friends re-
greet that he did not take an active part
in politics He showed himself good
and effective speaker, with an excep-
tional knowledge of Irish politics, on
which he wrote very able pamphlet.
An awkward question he put to Lord
Melbourne led to the memorable duel
with Morgan O'ConnelL The question
irritated O'Conneil pere, and, with his
customary truculent coarseness, he de-
nounced Alvanley in the commons as a
bloated buffoon. As usual, there was
some truth in it to give sting to the in
vective, but in any case the insult must
have been followed by challenge. The
agitator declined to come out, and Al
vanley threatened personal chastise-
ment. Thereupon Morgan took up the
glove on his fathers behalf in letter
characterized by his fathers scurrility.
They met, to exchange sundry shots
and to part scatheless, but without any
apology. Alvanley observed afterward:
"What a clumsy fellow O'Connell must
be to miss such fat fellow as l ami
He ought to practice at haystack to
get his hand i'll. "-Cornhill Magazine

What Was Hurt.

Many stories are told of the witty re-
torts made by a certain judge who died
a few years ago, and among them is
one which proves that his wit did not
desert him in the most trying circum-
stances.
One day as he was walking down the
steps which led from his town house he
slipped, lost his footing and fell with
many thumps and bumps to the bottom.
A passerby hurried up to the judge as
the latter slowly rose to his feet.
81 trust your honor is not seriously
hurt?'' he said in anxious inquiry.
my honor is not at all hurt, /" re-
turned the judge with a rueful express
sion, "but my elbows and knees are, l
can assure you. "-Pearson's Weekly.

The Adventures Of a picture.

We have heard of the adventures Of a
guinea. The story of a painting brought
to Rome by Queen Christina of Sweden
is not less interesting. The subject is
Leda and her attendant nymphs attack
ed in bath by swans. 1t was painted
S67 years ago for the Duke of Mantua,
and given by him to the Emperor
CharlesV. Philippa II took it from tia
ly to Spain. 1t was bought there by the
sculptor Leone Leoni, who sold 1t to a
picture dealer for the collection of the
Emperor Rodolph H. The Swedes took
it, with other spoils of the Seven Years
war, to Stockholm, where Christina
took fancy to it and with other treas
ures transported it to Rome. She left it
to Cardinal Azzolino, who died few
months after it was handed over to him.
1t passed on to his nephew, and was
sold by him to Prince Livio Odescalchi,
who left it to cousin, Prince Bardas-
some Odescalchi, who sold it to the Due
d'Orleans, regent of France.
His son Louis, due Orleans, a pious
prince, thought the head of Leda too
pagan, and had it cut out. Coypel
bought the painting and painted in a
head from memory. He sold it to Pas
quin, collector, who sold it at large
profit to Frederick the Great Marshal
Davout took it from Prussian palace
and brought it back to Paris. 1t was
there restored and given back to the
king of Prussia in 1916. The head fell
off the canvas on the way and a new
head was inserted by Schlesinger The
picture is now in the possession of the
German emperor, who is fascinated by
the swans. AS he likes to think himself

Garlic.

About three-quarters of the garlic
used in this country is imported from
Italy. 1t comes in hampers containing
about ITO pounds each. Garlic is raised
in this country in Connecticut, in
Louisiana, in Texas and in New Mexico
All garlic, both imported and Ameri-
can, is put up in strings or punches
something like the punches in which
onions were once commonly sold in this
country, but much longer. American
garlic is shipped in crates and barrels.
Some from the far southwest comes in
long cylindrical baskets.
Garlic is sold by the pound or by the
single bulb, which is sold for a penny.
In its commercial form, whole and dry,
garlic does not yield the strong smell
for which it is famous In wholesale
produce establishment, where garlic
was stacked up in quantities, there was
no noticeable odor from it, bit if one
of the several smaller bulbs of which
each root is composed, and which are
called cloves of garlic, be broken off
and broken in two, the powerful odor
becomes perceptible.
The aggregate consumption of garlic
in this country is large, and our exports
of it to South American countries,
which include American garlic and i'm
ported garlic reshipped, amount to
enough to be reckoned in tons. New
