A Prince,a PrnnlS.

The Prince de Ligne, a resplendent
figure among the brilliant courtiers
and Adventures of the time of Louis
XVI, told many amusing anecdotes in
his Memoirs" one of which shows
him, sword in hand, at duel which
called for gaiety rather than courage.
The .Comte de Segur and the Prince de
Ligne were coming out one very rainy
night, after supping with Madame de
Polignac in the Rue de Bourbon. No
coach was to be seen, and no person
there to fetch one. Let us pretend
to fight" the prince said to Comte de
Segur, and that will bring the watch.
they'll arrest us, and we'll make them
get a carriage to take us to the COM
missary." On which they took their
swords in hand with a fearful scuf-
fle, and cries of "Oh! All! Are you
dead? Are you wounded?" The watch
passed and repassed quite near them
on the Port Royal, but apparently
frightened, they did not arrest the
duelists, and they, half-dead with
laughter and the fatigue of the battle,
had to go home on foot in the rain,
after all!

The supreme court of the United
States has decided the case of the Ad-
dystone Pipe Company against the
combination of pipe manufacturers
called the Associated Pipe Works"
The manufacturers in this combina"
ton controlled the supply of gas, water
and sewer pipes in a considerable num-
Der of states, and apportioned the ter
ritory among themselves. When con-
tracts were to be awarded, the COM
pany to which the territory affected
had been assigned would notify the
other companies of it's bid, and they
would put in higher bids. The con-
tract would go to the lowest bidder
which would divide part of it's profits
with the others. The supreme court
decided that this practice was a re-
straint upon interstate commerce, and
therefore, illegal.

Mr.. Rhodes Enjoying Himself.

Mr.. Rhodes is delightfully."- English.
Being by far the most seriously threat
ened resident in Kimberley, besieged
by implacable foes, and with a price
set on his head, he seems from all ac-
counts to be quite the coolest person
on the ground, and to be rather enjoy
ing himself than otherwise. "Sit tight,
as l do" is his cheerful counsel to his
perturbed neighbors. He appears to
regard the siege chiefly as an excep-
tionally favorable opportunity for the
exercise of hospitality, and we can we'll
understand that the presence in the
town of a man who can entertain his
friends in the interval of riding out
to see how the fighting is going on is
worth half regiment to the defend
ers.-The Globe.

Good Fortune.

The following story is classed under
"True Animal Stories" but is really
a fish story: Not long ago hawk
caught fish in Long Island Sound,
but while flying with it to the woods
to devour it at leisure, the fish floun-
dered from the hawks hold and
dropped into a farmers yard. where
big mastiff was sitting. The dog
caught the fish as it came down, and
the hawk swooped after 1t, but the
dog turned and ran into the house,
placing his trophy, yet alive, at the
feet of his mistress. II proved to be
q large bluefish, and II was served up
that night to an srpreciative family.
The dog ever since has been seen to
sit in the same place at the same time,
evidently impressed with the belief
that his good fortune may be repeated.

LIVELY OLD PEOPLE.
Herbert Spencer Almost 80, Stu Plies
an Industrious Pen.

London Scraps says that Plltarch
was long past 20 when he began TO
learn Latin; Socrates was near the end
of long life when he undertook the
study of music, and Cato was so when
he began to wrestle with Greek roots.
Ludovico Monaldesco waited until he
was 115 before he thought of writing
his famous memoirs, and in later years
Dryden was 6S when he undertook his
translation of the "Aeneid," while DR..
Johnson had passed the allotted span
of life when he plunged into the in
tricacies of Dutch gutturals, and Queen
Victoria was studying Hindoo long
after she had passed her 10th year.
Herbert Spencer still plies an in
dustrious pen, although nearing his
SOth year. George Meredith is
little less industrious at 70
than when he wrote his first poems in
the year Of the great exhibition. Mrs.
Alexander, though she is "A and Grip

forty years ago. One of the ablest of
American judges did not begin to study
law until he was nearing his Goth year.

American to wrest the chief prizes
from the English lawyers, was almost
the same age when he was called to
the English bar, and yet within five
years he was making three times a

The Disagreement of scenery with
hideous advertisements is a great evil
in This country, but is by no means
peculiar to it. In England it has
reached such magnitude that a large
society has been formed, with a
periodical publication as its organ to
combat it and to resist its further eX-
tension. The society is reported al
ready to have done much good, espe-
cially by so arousing public sentiment
as to make it evident that advertisers
guilty of the offence will lose rather
than gain patronage thereby. There
is shrewd sense in that plan of cam
paign, commendable for application
elsewhere. Advertisements are dis
played solely for the sake of gain, and
If it be known that those which have
a character revolving to good taste will
repel patronage and cause loss instead
of gain, offensive methods Of display
will speedily be abandoned. The
remedy of this evil, as of many others,
lies within reach of the public.

STRANGE PROPHECIES.

MoIay, the Grand Master OF the Tenn
pIars, Predicted Truly.
Clement V. and Philip ". procured
the condemnation Of Molay, the grand
master of the templars, to the stake,
says Chambers Journal. AS he was
led to execution Molay cited his perse-
cutors to appear before Gods throne,
the king within forty weeks and the
pope within forty days. Within these
respective times both died. Rienzi, the
last of the tribunes, condemned to
death Fra Morale. When he pro-
nounced the sentence the culprit sum-
moned the judge to meet death him
self within the month, and within the
month Rienzi was assassinated. In
1876 Manning Koppezoon, a Roman
catholic, tortured to death during the
religious strife in the Netherlands, re-
canted his extorted confession when
on the way to the scaffold. A clergy
man, Jurian EpesZoon, tried to drown
his voice by clamorous prayer The
victim summoned him to meet him
within three days at the bar of God,
and Epeszoon went home and died
within that time. While at the stake

Il, The Department Of Agriculture work
on poisonous plants continues to be
one of the most popular lines of in
vestigation thus far undertaken by the
division of botany of the agricultural
department. The plan of systematical-
ly investigating actual cases of poison
ing, begun in 1896, has been continued.
The fatalities during the last year, in
cluded over 1000 head of farm ami
mails and at least 81 persons. The
whole number of fatalities due to
poisonous plants is without doubt con-
siderably greater than is shown by the
department figures. Even these, how
ever, compared with the statistics in
Blyth's Text Book on Poisons, show
that during the pas. year the death
rate of human beings in the United
States from poisonous plants is twice
as great as the average death rate in
England from the same cause. This
is unquestionably due to a lack Of
popular knowledge about poisonous
plants. The bulletin on this subject
has had a wide circulation, and it is
hoped that the subject will be taken
up and studied in all its bearings.

English soldiers and English news
papers are now wailing dolefully over
the annoyances of red tape in the war
department, the tenor of complaint be-
ing almost identical with that heard
in this country during the recent Span
ish war. Red tape is a subject for
jokes and jibes during the piping times
of peace, but red tape in time of war
is responsible for the loss of hundreds
of lives, the waste of millions of dol
lars and the dampening of patriotic
ardor in the breasts of Thousands OF
brave soldiers.
