Queen" Lavinia Dempsey of the Hol-

day in the affidavit by her brother, whom
she sued to recover some silver plate
which she said comprised family heir
looms. The "heirlooms," MIR. Dempsey

Dempsey at a secondhand antique store

Mr. Dempsey says he is ready and will
ing 10 give up the "heirlooms," as they
have no interest TO him. He designated
his sister in his affidavit as "Lavinia II

SPECIAL NOTICES.
THE RAMBLER's POSITION.

The wheeling public is always wary
of Cheap" wheels and this fact makes it
necessary to explain the position of the
Rambler, which is now being offered by
US at the remarkably low price of $40.
The Rambler is the only high grade
wheel on the market at so low price.
It's manufacturers have twenty-year
reputation for furnishing up to date and
first-class wheels. Heretofore they have
held prices up, but they adopted new
policy for 99, and figured on doubling the
Rambler sales by selling at $40 the one
model on which they have concentrated
their ideas. The material used is the best
known and the workmanship, if anything
and if possible, is superior to that OF for
mer years. They furnish the Gormully
& Jefferson guarantee that the 80 wheel
is the best they have ever made at any
price, and not from single Rambler rider
in Savannah have we heard any complaint
of the wheels qualities.
We unhesitatingly recommend the Ram
bier to the wheeling public.

Porte aae.n SHAVE.

The Porto Ricans. who are all. from
their highest to the lowest. great dan
dies in their way, mako soap out Of Co
ooanut oil and homemade lye. And a
fine soap it il, smooth and fragrant.
This cocoanut oil soap is used for shay
ing. When a man wishes to have a
shave in the morning, he starts out
with his cocoanut shell cup and his
donkey tail brush and bottle. It is
never any trouble to find an empty bot
tie in Porto Rico. Cuba, Jamaica or al
most any of the larger West India is
lands, wen in remote spots in the
mountains. At least 20 generations of
thirsty people have lived there and
thrown away the bottles.
The man carries no mirror. He is too
poor to own such a luxury. Not one
house in 30 in Porto Rico has even the
very cheapest looking glass. But gen.
orally rich nature provides the mirror
as well as the soap. The man goes to
some convenient pool in the mountain
stream where the water Is quite still.
There is his mirror. He breaks his bot
tie on a stone and deity picks out a
sharp piece Of suitable size. Then he
fathers his face profusely and begins to
scrape away with his piece Of glass,
which in his hands works as well as the
best steel razor. A cut, or even a slight
scratch, is extremely rare as q result Of
this al fresco form Of shaving.

The JAYNE.

The larynx has been compared to a
wind, a reed and stringed instrument.
The comparison Of it to a violin gave
rise to the not very accurate phrase
''vocal cords" as the name of the two
cushions which are its most prominent
features. But no string 50 short as those
''vocal cords could produce a musical
bass note. In fact, the comparison Of
the larynx to any instrument which
produces only musical tones is made
quate, to begin with. There is no in
strument but the larynx which pro-
duces both song and speech, and as
those comparisons view the larynx
merely as a producer Of musical sounds
we have nc further concern with them
at present. Besides, the voice can be
trained for speech, elocution and ora
tory without a knowledge of the physi-
ology Of the larynx.
We have the power Of adjusting the
larynx; of varying the tension Of its
cords. cushions or ligaments, as they
have been v%ariously called. We can do
these things without scientific technic-
al knowledge Of how they are done,
without any knowledge at all of vocal
physiology, and it is the work Of the
trainer of the voice to teach his pupils
-or her pupils we may be allowed to
say-how to do them. = Chambers

The Boy ana the Hare,

A pleasant story Of the Duke of Dew
onshire comes from Chatsworth. He
was strolling, gun in hand, through one
Of his own fields near Baslow when he
started a hare, which he shot, and was
going to pick 1t. up when a small boy
jumped out Of a neighboring hedge and
warned him of. ''Here, meester," cried
the small boy peremptorily, "yo' must
nae touch that"
"Why notf'' asked the duke, amused,
seeing that he was not recognized.
"Why, It'll tn dukes" answered the
boy, can he'll have you locked up if he
knows"
"Ohl" said his grace. ''Then will
you take charge Of it,"
"Aye. that I will" answered the boy
promptly. "Me fayther's a keeper"
Half an hour afterward the boy and
the hare arrived in the kitchen at Chats
worth. The duke had taken a short cut
home and had the boy brought to him.
The little chap was dumb with terror
when he learned what q mistake he had
made, but the duke gave him a 8 shil-
ling piece. called him "a good lad and
sent him away rejoicing.

night engagement in a small town, ap-

which he has so often and ably imper-
sonated At the hotel where he staid
there was an Irishman who acted as
general assistant. Judged by the great
interest he manifested in the hotel, he
might have been taken to be the pro-
prietor. At about a quarter to 6 in the
morning MI. Jefferson was startled, not
to say alarmed, by a violent humping
on his door. When he recollected that
he had left no orders to be called so
early, he was naturally indignant. His
sleep was banished for that morning,
however, so he arose and soon made his
appearance before the clerk.
"Look here, I say" he demanded Of
this functionary, "why was I called at
this unearthly hour2"
II don't know, SIR" replied the
clerk, ''but I'll ask Pat" Pat was sum-
moned. Said the clerk: "Pat, there was
no call for this gentleman. Why did
you waken him2"
Pat led the clerk to one side and said
in a mysterious whisper: "He wor

More than one explorer in cold eli

non Of a "snowball shower" The balls,
it is true, are not very big, the average
being about the size Of a hens egg, but
they are true snowballs for all that,
compressed globes Of snow, not little
Jumps Of Ice or hail.
A fall Of the kind occurred in north
London in March, 1859. and at the time
it was observed that the balls seemed five

from the usual handmade missiles.
They had fallen during the night and

It was in an auction store on Main
street, just before the auctioneer mount
ed the box. Goods were being sold pri-
vately to those who desired to buy. A
well dressed woman was examining o
bit of jewelry.
"What is the price of thisa" she
asked.
"That will cost you 81. madam" re-
piled the salesman.
"Can't you shade that figure q bit?'
"No; can't possibly take a cent less.
But I'll tell you what I'll do-if you
will wait q few moments the auction
sale will be started, and I'll place the
article under the hammer. You may
then be able to buy it in for almost
nothing"
The woman said she would wait.
Ten minutes later on the auctioneer
began the sale. There were some half
dozen people. in the store. The bit of
jewelry in question was placed on the
counter and bids invited Some one Of
fered so cents, then 81 was bid, 81
followed and then $S. This last bid
was made by the woman who had sought
to buy the bit of jewelry before the sale.
A gentleman came in, looked at the ar
ticle and calmly said: 81 like that. I'll
give you g." The woman quickly
shouted '..Five dollars!' Then the bid
ding ceased and the bit Of jewelry was
turned over to the last and best bidder.
She had refused to pay 81 q few min
utes before, but she forgot that and
went home to tell hubby dear what a
bargain she got at the auction store for

Didn't Lose His Head,

Prince Louis Esterhazy, military at
tache Of the Austrian embassy at Lon
don, was travelling alone in an English
railway, when an elegantly dressed wo-
man entered the carriage. Presently she
d%ropped:her handkerchief and employed
other expedients tostart a conversation,
but without avail. for the prince tran
gully smoked his cigar and took no no.
tice of her. At last as the train ap-
preached a station the woman suddenly
tore her hat from her head. disheveled
her hair and as the train came to q
standstiu put her head out Of the win
dow and shrieked for assistance.
The railroad officials hurried to the
scene, and to them the woman asserted
that she had been terribly insulted by
the prince. The prince did not stir from
his seat, but continued TRANQUILITY smok-
ing his cigar, and the station master
exclaimed, "What have you got to say
to this charger"
Without the slightest. appearance of
concern the prince, who was seated In
the farther corner of the carriage, re-
piled, "Only this" and with that he
pointed to his cigar, which showed a
beautiful gray ash considerably over an
inch in length.
The station master was wise in his
generation, and on perceiving the ash on
the princes cigar he touched his hat
and said quietly, "That's all right,
sir, and arrested the woman instead.

Only Two Msn Know the Trick.

There is one expert in Philadelphia
who, it is safe to say, stands entirely
alone in his speciality. He is James
Toughill, who has charge Of the piling
Of coin bags at the subtreasury. Not
only does he have charge Of the piling
of the bags, but he does it all himself,
for there is q secret connected with this
work that is known to only one man in
the country besides the Philadelphia ex-
pert.
It does not seem at first glance to be
q very difficult task, but those who have
tried it and failed car be counted by
hundreds, while the first man to do the
work properly without a knowledge of
the secret having been impaired to him
Is yet to be named. Not SO many years
ago there was only one person in the
country who could do the work. Where
he obtained his exclusive knowledge no
one knows. On a trip to Philadelphia he
met Toughill and the two became fast
friends. As a mark of his esteem the
original expert taught Toughill the art
Of piling up money securely, and that Is
as far as the knowledge has been ex-
tended.
The work consists Of piling up bags
containing !, 1000 silver dollars each as
high as the vault will permit. When
built by the experts this silver wall Is
as solid and substantial as if built Of
bricks and mortar, and it is well this Is
80. If one of these walls should be con-
structed on wrong principles 1t would
surely fall, and a fall usually means &c.
rious injury to some n Many men
have been hurt in attempting to learn
the art, and now Toughil and his
friend, who is in the west, occupy tho
