Senator Pettr,s' PrnpkecY.

This is a story that an Albanian
tells about Senator Pettus and ex-Sena-
tor Pugh: During Mr.. Cleveland's
first administration Mr.. Pettus was
anxious to fill the place on the supreme
court bench to which Senator Lamar
was afterward appointed. He applied
to his friend Senator Pugh, and the
latter made an earnest and sincere ap-
peal for the aINointment of Mr.. Pettus.
The president inquired as to the age of
Pettus,' and when informed said he was
too old. Senator Pugh communicated
this fact to Pettus, and also suggested
to'another eminent but younger lawyer
In his state to apply for the place, as it
was settled fact that a southern man
would surely succeed 10 the vacancy.
Senator Pettus heard of Senator Pugh's
letter to the other friend, and it made
him mad. Coming to Washington, he
called on Pugh and asked him why he
did not stand out for him Pugh ex-
planned that Mr.. Cleveland would not
alter his determination about not ap.
pointing man Of Pettus' age, but this
did not satisfy Pettus. Before leaving
.Pugh Pettus said, Well, I may be too
old to sit on the supreme bench of the
land, but am not too old to sit in the
senate. and your seat will just about fit
me- Pettus was as good as prophet.
He succeeded Senator Pugh on the 4th
OF March last, andsif am not mistaken
occupies the identical seat which Pugh
occupied during former term. Sena-
tor Pugh was ~ last D ecember. Sena.
tor Pettus is 76. ''-Washington Post.

Mr.. Gladstone as a Sport,

While on visit to Mr.. Gladstone Sir
William Harcourt mentioned that the
boys at Elton take in large number of
evening papers. Dear me, how remark
ablev' said Mr.. Gladstone. "How
things have changed since Twas at Elton
But it shows what q remarkable inter-
est the youth of the present generation
take in current events. - Sir William
ventured to suggest that it might be
that the youth Of the present generation
took a remarkable interest in sport.
Indeed" said Mr.. Gladstone, mot
gambling, hope" Then Mr.. Gladstone
became reminiscent. Il think the only
thing l ever did in that direction was
to put an occasional shilling on prize
fight. '-Household Words.

Sho Eribuaes.

The Chicago Tribune publishes let
ter from a correspondent who says that
the first paper called The Tribune was
published in Portsmouth, O., and was
known as The Scioto Tribune. Com
menting On this, The Tribune says:
1.-The writer unquestionably makes out
a valid claim for The Scioto Tribune as
the first of The Tribunes, though it was
named for Rienzi, Bulwer's hc.o, the
last of the tribunes.
Still, there is not ground for the
slightest belief that the name applied
to the Portsmouth paper ever met the
eyes of Mr.. Greeley before he estab-
lished The Daily Tribune in New York
IN lS4l. Nor was it seen by Edward j.
Ryan when he established The Weekly
Tribune in Chicago in 1889. 1t is only
fair, however, to say that Mr. Hamilton
first applied the Bulwer name to an
American weekly paper. Mr.. Greeley is
entitled to the credit of first applying it
to daily, semiweekly and weekly pa
per, which caused hundreds of others to
use the same title, though it is also true
that Mr.. Ryan used it first in Chicago
and in any state west of Ohio and for
two years before Mr.. Greeley employed
it in New York.
"The Portsmouth paper may claim the
name by right of original discovery. In
line of descent The Tribunes are The
Scioto Tribune, Ryan's Weekly Chicago
Tribune, the New York Tribune and
the present Chicago Tribune"

Boiled peanuts are a favorite dish
with the Chinese. An attempt has
been made in this country to cook and
dry peanuts and grind them into a flour.
Bread made from peanut flour is said
to possess especial value to diabetic pa
tlents. There is little doubt that we
stall slight many useful food products.
The several Theological clubs which ex.
lst to disseminate knowledge of the
eatable fungi that abound in our fields
and woods have been sufficiently sue
cessful to show that movement in such
directions is quickly encouraged; but we
have much more than mushrooms at our
hands that can be made available. Ital-
lans make most palatable flour or
meal out of chestnuts and also from
some species of acorns.-New York

A WONDERFUL POND.

Human Eyes Are Often Inhabited by
Large Numbers of Living Creatures.
The water contained in a well de-
veloped. well formed eye in which the
sight Is not impaired. more especially
where a person is farsighted, presents
many curious phenomena. Looking
through an open window in daylight
upon hazy atmosphere or upon fog
such as is seen in any city, or looking
to the north upon gray atmosphere,
one will see, if conditions are as above,
strange disks fitting and jumping about
| IN the eye water. 1t has been my privi-
lege to watch these organisms for sew
eral years. fitting about in the eye
water, jumping toward each other again
IN strife and combat, in the which the
water would become comparatively
clear of amGbiform organisms, only to
bats as above.
The various shapes of these animal
cul4 are surprising. Some are attenu-
ated, with fine filaments. Again, others
are like wee bits of fine porcelain, with
little projections, reminding one Of
turtles hopping about. Again, others
present the appearance of cyclops and
daphne.
How these organisms get into the eye
water is mystery-perhaps in the
water we drink or foods we eat, either
or both. The fact that the eye water is
inhabited, like all other bodies of water,
Is truth that can be proved positively,
beyond peradventure, by any oculist
when he may extract diseased eye
and place the fluid under the glass.
May not the accumulation of these
organisms in the eye water. their rapid
growth and the survival of the fittest
or strongest be the cause of much blind
ness, wherein may be casts, coagulation
of the eye water, SO called paralysis of
the optic nerve, cataracts and other
forms of disease?
May not numerous headaches and
other Pains be &c used by the overac-
emulation or growth of these minute
organisms, in which they stop the cir
culation Of the active principle of life
III the arterial circulation or the nerv-
Gus forces? The sane organisms are seen
when looking upon drawing paper

The EYeA.

When awaking in the morning, do
not rub the eyes. Indeed, one ought
never to rub or press the fingers against
the eyes. If they feel at all irritable,
sponge them with cold water. Cold
water has a most beneficial effect upon
the eyes, and the strongest will find it
good to daily battle the eyes in cold wa
ter. This invigorates them and helps to
keep them in good working order. But
1t must be remembered that quite cold
water should only be used when the
body is at a moderate temperature.
When one is very heated or warm, the
chill must be taken off the water to
avoid any sudden shock. -Philadelphia
Ledger.

Strange Domestic Pefs.

Mr.. Hutchinson, while British resi-

This animal he succeeded in tanning
and transformed from forest terror
into domestic pet. Charles James Fox
had young tiger which showed great
affection for him. until one day, while
licking its masters hand. 1t scraped off
the skin. At the first taste of blood its
dormant instincts returned, and its
giaring eyes revealed to Mr.. Fox his
danger. Without attempting to remove
his hand he led it by gentle words into
the next room, where a loaded pistol
hung over the mantelpiece. Reaching

AER ONLY FAULT.

As went to my bachelor chamber one night
And reflected on life as put out the light
resolved that the clubs would visit no more,
But devote my affections to dear Isadore.
She is faultless in figure and lovely in face,
Every movement the very perfection Of grace
So confiding and gentle. congenial and sweet
That the stoics and cynics are all at her feet.
Like the wings Of the humming bird over the
keys
Fly her tapering fingers in Lists potpourris;
She excels on the harp and the Spanish guitar.
And her voice is soprano that reaches to IA.
She Is witty and brilliant in quick repartees.
And she sings cavatinas with marvellous Els,
Conversation in German and French can sus
tain,
And has travelled in Italy. Egypt and Spain.
All the tender emotions so secuted before
We're aroused in my heart for the fair Isadore,
But my growing affections are nipped in the
bud
Tor she will drag her skirts through the streets
in the mud
