quarters in comfortable brick house
belonging to Judge Lyons, opposite the
courthouse square. As approached /
saw the captor of Atlanta on the porch,
sitting tilted back in large armchair,
reading a newspaper. His coat was I'M
buttoned, his black felt hat slouched
over his brow, and ON his feet were Il
pair of slippers very much down at the
heels. He was in the prime of lie and
in the perfection of physical health. He
was just A years of age, and almost at
the summit of his military fame. With
his large frame, tall, gaunt form, rest
less hazel eyes, aquiline nose, bronzed
face and crisp beard, he looked the pic

duced myself, and handed him General
Grants letter. He tilted forward in his
chair, crumpled the newspaper in his
left hand while with his right he shook
hands cordially, then pushed a chair
forward and invited me to sit down.
His reception was exceedingly cordial,
and his manner exhibited all the per.

An Irishman was toiling, bareheaded,

A Catholic father rode by and said to
him:
"Put on your hat, Patrick. You II

The worker looked up at him and
said, "Do you think would be doing

A Living Kite.

In France living kite has been seen
in which q man formed part. 1t was
in the course of a series of experiments
to determine the effect of wind upon a
soaring machine. A gigantic kite had
been made, ON the face of which man
stood, his feet wide apart and resting
upon braces for the purpose, while with
his hands he clasped two straps. The
kite was 20 feet high and made of
cloth. The first attempt to fly it was
made on an exposed section of the coast,
where the wind blew in over lake. A
large parachute was attached to the
frame of the kite, to which the man
was supposed to cling in case of a fall.
Everything being ready, the kite was
braced against the wind, the man took
his place, and 80 men ran against the
wind with the rope, many more hold
ing the tail. The wind caught the enor-
nous surface, and amid loud cheers
from the spectators the man rose ten
feet from the surface and there remain
ed, held by the men at the tail. Slow
ly the latter released the rope, and grad
ually the kite rose, proving beyond
question that man could ascend in
this fashion. 1t was such hazardous
and uncertain experiment that very
high flight was not attempted. New

A QUEER LITTLE ANIMAL.
The Australian Duckbill Carries q Sting
In One Leg.

In One Leg.
Australia certainly holds the palm for
queer and uncouth animals, says The
Literary Digest Chief among these is
the duckbill or ornithorhynchus, which
Sydney Smith described as "a kind Of
mole with webbed feet and the bill Of
duck, which agitated Sir Joseph Banks
and rendered him miserable from his
utter inability to decide whether it was
q bird or beast. It was only recently
that 1t was proved beyond doubt that
this curious animal lays eggs like
bird, though this had long been reported
by Travellers. Now comes the news that
it has sting on its hind leg, capable of
killing by its poisonous effects. We
quote from The Lancet:
"For long time It was considered TO
be quite harmless and destitute of any
weapon of offense, although the hind
legs Of the males were armed with q
powerful spur, apparently connected
with a gland. Then the opinion was adj
vanced that this might be weapon al
lied to the poisonous armory of snakes,
scorpions and bees, all of which possess
sort Of hypodermic poison syringe.
Though one set of observers asserted
that this was the case, another set de-
MED it, and so DR.. Stuart determined to
solve this question, if possible. He re-
ceived two independent accounts which
conceded perfectly, and from them he
concludes that, at certain seasons at all
events, the secretion is virulently poi
sonous. The mode of attack is not by
scratching, but by lateral inward move
ments Of the hind legs. Two cases are
reported in dogs One dog was 'stuns
three times; the symptoms much resem-
bling those of bee or hornet poison. Tho
dog was evidently in great pain and
drowsy, but there were 70 tremors, con-
vulsions or staggering. 1t is worthy Of
note that certain immunity seems OBJ
tainable, for the dog suffered less on the
second occasion and still less on the
third. Two cases of men being wounded
are reported, in both of which the ami
mails were irritated, one by being shot
and handled, the other by being handled
only. The symptoms were the same al
in the dog. No deaths are reported IL
human beings, but four in dogs"

Antiquity of the Pipe.

Archaeological j. d. Mcguire of the
National museum announces his discov-
cry of the fact that the ancient Romans
smoked. Of course they knew not to-
bacco, which is a plant native and Pc
culiar to the new world, but they used
several other herbs, and of these four
have been definitely identified by Mr..
Mcclure. This news upsets the long &C
copied theory that the practice, of smok-
ing was invented by the American alb
origines and was unknown elsewhere in
the world until after the landing of
Columbus
Unquesticnably smoking had already
been practiced by the Indians for GEN.
turtles when Columbus first reached
these shores. 1t was with them to a
great extent a form of religious cere-
monial. DR.. Daniel G. Brinton, the
famous ethnologist, thinks that it had
its beginning in the blowing tube Of
the medicine man. Ignorant savages are
disposed to regard the human breath as
possessing magical properties, and il
may be supposed that burning leaves
were introduced into the tube for the
purpose of making the breathing visi'

of plants, such as sumac, red willow
bark and the leaves of the kinnikinicE
or bear berry, and tobacco doubtless wal
a discovery resulting from selection
of the fittest.
The earliest Indian pipes were simply
tubes, in one end of which the tobacco
