 Play High Role in London.

Play High Role in London.
 The history of Hon. Elizabeth Har- riet Grieve, who fourished in England in 1773-74, illustrates fayorite meth cd by which the old-time Britishers endeavored to secure snug places. This lady, who said that she was first cousin to Lord North, second cousin to the Duke of Grafton, ne-y ic.ste4 to Lady Fitzroy and q pers9se of Lord Guilford and Charles tazaes Fox, drove about London in a fd- some chariot, with footmen; her c4l@t7- tot stopped at the doors of great houses; she received great people at her own house, notably Charles James Fox; she also condeseended to receive smaller people The latter gave her large sums of money, in return for which she promised them places. One was to be clerk in the yictualing of fee, one was 10 be a court waiter; one was to be clerk in the admiralty; one was to be a settled tidesman;" an- other was to have anything that hap pened to be going Charles Fox as- sisted 0nwittingly, at spreading the belief in the ladys powers and pro- mises, because he frequently drove to her lodgings. and left his carriage out side for all the world to see. The req son was not friendship, but interest. He, too. received promises. He was at tie moment impeeunious. The lady promised him a West Indian heiress, with $500, 600. He called daily to in- guire after his heiress with all the eagerness of a young lover. Alas! the l heiress was never visible; she was even reported to be laid up with small- pox. Her visits were so useful to the Hon. Elizabeth that she actually lent 1 fim $1,500, step which naturally made him believe more firmly in the West Indian. Of course when the ex- l peetant men found that there was nothing for them they went to court and saw the magistrate. It came out, on investigation, that the lady was not in any sense honorable; that she was not related to any great people. that her history was a mass of lies, and that she was nothing more than an ex-eonviet recently returned from l Virginia. They kept her in prison for a twelyemonth-the delay is not ex- plained-and then banished her for seven years.

PHILIPPINE INSANITY.
The United states GOverar,~nt Inves- tigating Mysterious Disease,

tigating Mysterious Disease,
 Much attention has been called to the number of men in the army serving in the Philippines who have gone in- sane The government has sent special commission out there to inyes- tigate the matter, and there has been talk of mysterious disease called the "Soudanese Fever" It is believed by some that this disease is peculiar to East Indian and African tropics; that it was this which caused Dr. Peters to get into trouble for killing Africans and made the French officers in Lhe in terior of Africa recently slay other of fcerg sent to their relief Everybody has heard of the Malay who runs amuck and, frenzied kills right and left until he himself is killed. The word "amuek" is a corruption of the Javanese word "amoak," to kill. There seems to be no doubt that the Malay occasionally goes crazy through an overindulgence in opium or hasheesE and, springing from his shack" runs naked through the streets of the vil- lage, killing all whom he may meet. When in a Malay village the cry "Amuck9 is raised. it is like the cry of Mad dog!" in an American village, and the populaee turns out with long bamboo spears and kills the man as soon as they can. But the "Soudanese fever" if it exists, is another thing apparently It may be that the disease which has afflicted white men in the Philippines and in equatorial Africa 1 is only a variation of apoplexy brought on by indulgence in heating and stimu- lating foods. The London Lancet re- gently had something about the alleg- ed disease. People who had been af- 1 ficted with it and had recovered said that they had a sudden sensation of a desire to kill. and that they saw red. .' A sudden aff1ux of blood to the head and the bursting of blood vessel would produce insanity or coma. In northern climes it more usually re- suits in coma; in the tropics it seems to result in insanity All the soldiers of our army in the Philippines who have been sent back as insane have been violent.

"CLOCK STARS"
Used In Place of the Sun to FIX the
 Time of pay


 Time of Day.
 Probably the majority of people SUD- pose that the observatories obtain the correct time from the sun. When the average man wishes to give his watch the highest praise he says, It regu- lates the sun not being aware that watch which would keep with the sun around the year would have to be nearly as bad as Captain Cuttle's. The farmer may safely decide when to go to dinner by the sun, but if the mariner was as confident that the sun marked always the correct time as the farmer is he would be sure to be at times 200 or 300 miles from where he thought he was. In other words, the sun that is, a sundial-is only correct on a few days in each year, and during the intervening times gets as far as whole quarter hour fast or slow, ac- cording to Appleton's Popular Science Monthly. There are several hundred stars whose positions have been estab. lished with the greatest accuracy by the most careful observations at a number of the principal observatories of the world If stars exact posi- tion is known, it can readily be cal- culated when it will pass the meridian of any given place-that is. the in- stant it will cross a north and south line through the place. The data re- garding these stars are all published in the nautical almanacs, which are got out by several different observa- tions for the use of naYigators and all others who have uses for them. These stars are known as clock stars"
