mittee The idea of having such reunion
and banquet was suggested near the close
of the last session by Mr.. Sutton, repre-
Sentative from Shelby county, and COM
mittee was appointed to make arrangements
and perfect plans. In several other states
such reunions and banquets have been held
for wears and have been highly successful.
Several of the members who have been in
the city recently have expressed their IN
tention of being present and the committee
on arrangements believes that at least W
pgr cent of the members will be on hand.
1rhe last session of the House of Repre-
sentatiVes was characterized by the most
| friendly feeling and that spirit VIII nave
much to do with making the coming re-
union and banquet highly successful.

Named tho Fabrics,

At very early period in the north
ern republics Of Italy commerce and
manufacture became very active, due in
q great measure to the stimulus given
by the maritime supremacy of the cities
Of Genoa, Pisa and Venice and to the
corresponding activity in trade in such
prosperous interior cities as Milan,
Florence, Bologna and Padua. Milan
and Mantua gave US milliners and man
tua makers, and Leghorn attached its
name to certain kind Of hat and straw.
England, Ireland and Scotland have
given number Of names to fabrics
made in certain localities, of which
tweeds, cheviots and linsey woolsey are
familiar examples. Worsted comes from
the village Of Worsted, near Norfolk,

NJ. Mingaud, naturalist Of Mines,
France, gives, in La Revue Soientifque,
an interesting account Of the musical
accomplishments of sparrow in his
collection Of living birds. He captured
the sparrow soon after it had been
Matched and fed it by hand until it
could care for itself. Then he placed it
in cage containing ohafi1nch, q gold
finch and two canaries. After q time
the sparrow learned to MARBLE like the
fnohes and to trill like the oanar1es, the
limitations being so perfect as to deceive
the ear. In spring NJ. Mingaud 10 &C.
customed to keep box Of oriokets near
his birdcages. Two days after the
orickets had been placed near the cage
containing the sparrow the latter began
to initiate their cry, intermingling it
with it's songs. Even after the criokets
had long been dead the sparrow remem-
bred it's lesson and continued to repeat
their cry. None of the other birds at
tempted to initiate the criokets. Singu-
larry enough, the sparrow never utters
the peculiar squalling cry of its own
species, having been removed from its
nest too early, apparently, to have
learned it.

Famous Collection of Antlers.

OF the famous collections of antlers
formed in the seventeenth century only
two or three have escaped the general
fate Of CONGREGATIONS, sieges and pill
lage. One of these is in Moritzburg,
the king of Saxony's historical hunting
castle, near Dresden, while in the cele-
brated gun gallery in Dresden itself are
to be seen, in an unrivaled show, the
wonderfully inlaid arms used by the
elector. .s5 Is.

Two New England Churches.


There are Catholic communities, both
in America and in the old world, says
Alvan F. Sanborn in The Atlantic,
where an extreme wretchedness in the
dwellings is at once partially explained
by the richness and beauty of the
churches. But not so in Dickerman. On
the contrary, both the Diokerman
churches are Of q piece with their sur
roundings. The Congregational church,
more than a century old (Orthodox is
the name it still goes BY, was worthy
structure in it's day and would be so yet
had it been kept in good repair. Alas,
it is only the ghost Of it's former preten-
tious self. Its stills are badly rotted. Its
spire and belfry have been shattered by
lightning and imperfeotly restored. Its
roof is leaky, the olapboards Of its walls
are warped and blistered, and its heavy
bell, once sweet Of tone, is cracked and
dissonant. The Baptist church, built
only few years ago, mainly at the ex-
pense Of church building society, is
one Of the shoddily constructed many
gabled atrocities due to tho malign in
duenoe Of the so called Queen Anne
restoration. Its original coat Of paint
Of many oolors has mostly soaked into
the surrounding soil. It's panes Of stain
ed glass, as they have been broken from
time to time, have been replaced by or
binary window glass, with piebald IN
canny results.

Ancient ThermopYlse.

4 An officer of the English intelligence
department reports that in spite of the
fact, which is we'll known, that the sea
has receded since ancient times, the
strategical position Of this ancient pass
is still immensely strong. The alterna-
tive route by Deleghi, which crosses the
hills mile and half north of the
springs by we'll engineered zigzags, is
equally capable Of defense and leads in
to a country of most difficult charac-
ter. Either pass might be held indefi-
nitely by 5000 men. The coast road is
absolutely commanded from the heights
so that comparatively small force
would render it impossible, while the
fat lowland lying near the sea is
marshy and intersected BY dikes.

THE PORTER HIS BooTJACk.

A struggle In Pullman Which Inter.
ested the Car.
a traveller recently witnessed an
amusing episode on train between.
Chicago and Kansas City. A very re-:
spectacle and we'll to do old gentleman
was in the car. When bedtime came,
he struggled with his boots. He first
put one foot on his knee and tugged.
As he was travelling his boots were new.
The boot wouldn't bulge in that posi-
ton, SO he placed the toe Of the other
boot against the heel and tried it that
way. The boot stuck. Then he hooked
his foot around the other leg and took
hold Of the heel and tried to work" it
off, but it wouldn't come. At last he
went in search of the porter and de-
manded bootjaok.
'Clar to goodness, boss, ain t got one
in de oyah. Une' George don't furnish
us no bootjacks
7 Sympathizing passengers tried to
think the old man out of his troubles,
and a drummer, as usual, brought forth
the best suggestion: :..- J.. 4.
Make the porter pull them off, he
said. ... ,..-"'..-n
So the porter took off his jacket and
turned back his cuffs and went to work.
He tugged and pulled and seesawed
the boot back and forth and perspired
and grunted, but the boot wouldn t
move. The drummer filed the breach
again.
II used to pull my grandfather 8
boots off sometimes when was a boy. :"
he said. "Tell you how did it. Turn
round" he said to the darky. The
darby turned. ''Now take the boot be-
tween your legs, grasp the heel and toe
and yank. " The darby did SO. The old
gentleman chung desperately to the seat.
The boot began to move and finally slid
off, almost throwing the puller across
the car. The crowd applauded.- Kansas

PLENT or CHALK.
Great Block That was Once . Large q
tho ContinAnf or Europe.

Crest Block That Was Once - Large -
the Continent Of Europe.
The small piece Of chalk which is in
constant use in the schoolroom, the leo
ture room. the billiard room and the
Workshop has q strange history, the nm.
5raveling Of which through all its com.
plexities is one Of the most difacult
problems with which the science Of the.
present day is called upon to deal. This
piece is in reality chip Of an immense
block Of chalk that once filled an area
the size Of the continent Of Europe, and
Of which even yet several gigantic frag-
ments remain, each hundreds Of square
miles in extent. These patches are scat
tered over the region lying between Ire
land on the west and China on the east
and extend in the other direction from
Sweden in the north to Portugal in the
south.
In the British Isles the chalk is found
in greatest perfection and continuity in
the east and southeast Of England. A
sheet Of chalk more than 1000 feet in
thickness underlies all that portion Of
England which is situated to the south
east Of a line crossing the island dag
onally from the North sea at Flambor-
ough Head to the coast on the English
channel in Dorset. This enormous sheet
Of chalk is tilted up slightly on the
west, and its depressed eastern portions
that dip toward the waters Of the North
sea are usually buried from sight by
means Of everything sands and clays.
Where the edges of the chalk floor come
upon the sea the cliff scenery is strik-
ingly grand and beautiful Any one
who has once seen the magnificent rocks
Of Marlborough and Beechy Head, the
jagged stacks of the Needles or the diz
" mass Of Shakespeare's cliff, near Do
yer, can understand why "the white
cliffs Of Albion" has grown into stock
phrase.
This massive sheet Of chalk appears
again in France, in many other parts CT
Europe as far east as the Crimea, and
even in central Asia beyond the sea Of
Aral. How far it stretched westward
into what is now the Atlantic may new
er be known, but chalk cliffs of at least
200 feet in thickness are seen at An
trim, in Ireland, and less conspicuous
formations are found in Scotland, in
Argyll and Aberdeen. There can be lit
tie question that all these now isolated
patches were once connected in a con-
tinuous sheet, which must, therefore,
have occupied a superficial area about
5000 miles long by nearly 1000 broad,
an extent larger than that Of the pres.
ent continent Of Europe. - Pittsburg

LEAN MEAT.

1t Sometimes Contains As Much as Seven
ty-eight Per Cent Of Water.
Lean meat. it may surprise many to
learn, is much more watery than fat
meat. This may be illustrated by the
statement that very lean meat may con-
tain as much as 70 per cent Of water,
while very fat pork may contain only
10 per cent. The flesh Of fish is more
watery than ordinary butcher meat.
Thus salmon contains five-e ighths of it's
total weight Of water, cod four fifths
and founders seventies.
Among the foods which may be cited
as containing but a small percentage Of
water, and consequently as dry food,
are flour and oatmeal, and sugar is q
food entirely devoid of it. The animal
body has often been aptly likened to a
machine, and, like all machines, it re-
quires fuel to keep it working. Now
this fuel it obtains from the food which
we eat, and in default of food the ami.
NAL tissue itself is drawn upon. Food,
therefore, keeps the animal body warm
and yields the muscular energy necessary
for the accomplishment Of the work
which the body does. In this capacity
the three classes of food nutrients may
all be concerned.
The value Of a food may be estimated
in terms Of the amount of heat it will
give rise to. The most concentrated food
fuel is fat. When fat is burned, it gives
rise to twice as much heat as is given
by the burning of either the albuminoidl
or the carbohydrates. Fatty foods, there
fore, possess a much greater heating
value than nonfatty foods. -Philadel
phia Times.

Orsini's Headaches.

DR.. Lees told one amusing story about
Orsini at Blaydon Hall. which showed
the latter as very simple man. Orsi-
nj, at one time, complained every
morning Of his head. II ave one bad
headache" he used to say at breakfast
to Mrs. Cowen. One night Joseph Cow
en- detected strong smell of gas pro-
ceeding from Orsini's room. He went
to see what was the matter and found
the explanation Of Orsini's bad head
aches. The room was quite dark, and
the gas had not been turned off. "What
did you do with the gas?'' asked Cow
en-. 'Blew him out,' said Orsini, who
had never seen gas burner before. The
headaches then ceased. They were eff
fectually cured some months later at
the instance of the emperor of the
French. -Westminster Gazette.
