BRITTSH


Lotteries, love stories and politics
have founded more British peerages
than ancient descent and deeds of
arms. In the sixteenth century Lon
don Bridge was covered with shops,
and the most prosperous shopkeeper
On the bridge was William Hewitt, a
worthy linen draper, who had accumu-
lated a fortune, and from his promi-
hence in his guild looked forward to
changing his yardstick for a knights
sword and getting a titled husband for
his only daughter, Anna, who was his
heiress. In the shop of William Hewitt
was an apprentice, Edward Osborne,
who naturally fell desperately in love
with his masters daughter, the fair
Anna. Old Hewit's family lived over
the shop, and the apprentice boarded
with them, sleeping under the counter
in the store at night, as all apprentices
do in story books. In fact, young Os-
borne was a real story-book appren-
tice from beginning to end. One day
Anna, the heiress, who probably was
leaning too far out of the window to
catch a glimpse of the gallants pass
ing in their barges down the river, lost
her balance and fell into the water.
In after her jumped Edward Osborne
and brought her safe to the stairs.
After that, of course, they were mar
ried in spite of the old merchants OPP
position. The son-in-law was taken
into partnership, and the business
af1ourished more than ever. Hewitt be-
came a knight and then died, leaving
all his wealth to his daughter and her
husband. The old shop on the bridge
was abandoned, and Edward Osborne,
discovering that his family, OF at least
a family of the same name. had been
known in Kent as far back as the days
of Henry VI, set UP a coat-of-arms and
became a man of affairs and a politi-
clan. He was elected lord mayor of
London and received the honor Of
'knighthood from Queen Elizabeth. Ed
ward the apprentice now became Sir
Edward Osborne and was a weighty
citizen of London in those days. He
Increased his store and picked out good
alliances for his children, so that his
grandson married into the nobility and
his great-grandson became lord high

RiHar to slrlen Fans.

A nan without sense of
has Invented and patented a
chal hand fan, and sets 1t UP as a rival
of the toy gauze and lace which has
beer a feminine weapon through untold
ages. His fan buzzes and is not "a
tiful, but 1t provides a steady draughr
of cool air.
In appearance 1t is a cross between
an egg-beater and a giove-stretcher.
1t is made of wood and brass, and he
asserts that, in expert hands, 1t can be-
made to reach a speed of 5000 revoluA
tions per minute, and win throw a cur
rent of air as far as an electric fan or
the same size.
1t works by COMPRISING in the hands
two wooden handles of a glove-stretch-
er-like arrangement. A ratchet ana
two small cog wheels at she end of the
arms transmit the force to the blades
of the fan, which are miniature electric
fan blades. Both of these are detach-
able, so hat the fan may be easily
carried when not in use.
The inventor says that he has dis
posed of 1000 of'his hand fans in a few
months. He isn't sanguine of it's gen.
eral adoption by the gentler sex, but he
thinks thai lots of nTen would use 1t IN
hot weather. Sentiment ought not to
play any part in comfort-seeking, he
says, but has to admit that il general
ly does.-New York Sun.

A Sleepy Compliment.

Mr.. Irving Bachelor, the author of
Eben Holden, tells with relish of an
intended compliment he received about
his book. He knows it was intended
to be kind, but says he has an inward
misgiving that it was just. Eben Hol-
den had appeared and the public we're
beginning to read it. Mr.. Bachelor,
like any author, was eager to know
what the public, not the critics,
thought of his book. But, as he said,
unbiased opinion is hard to get. He
went to a dinner party night, and
a very nice old lady, to whom he was
presented, said to him with earnest
ness, holding his hand: Dear Mr..
Bachelor, l am so glad to meet the
author of Eben Holden. I read my
self to sleep nights with your book

Jones of Burdett, and one OF the most
popular ladies in Hodgemar County,

made her life a continual misery to
her. She suffered painssirr' the small OF

Kidney and Urinary Trouble.
To-day she is as we'll as any lady In

This remarkable change"waS due en-
tirely to a remedy recently introduced
here. 1t Is called Dodd's Kidney Pills,
and many people claim it to be an in
fallible cure for Kidney Diseases,
rheumatism and Heart Trouble.
Mrs. Freeman heard of Dodd's Kid

she grew better. In a week her head"
aches and other pains had gone, and
she had left behind her all her illness
and days of misery.
A medicine tina can do for any one

for these pills has increased wonderful

GOVERNS THE PRICE OF FURS
Fashion Regulates the Selling Price Of
the Different Varieties

The price of fur is governed to a
great extent by fashion. Many years
ago beaver was in demand; then mink;
now it is marten. Mink is also be-
coming a favorite once more. Skunk is
used largely, being dyed and sold I'M
der the nam of some more fashion
able brother, such as sable. Beaver is
a very heavy-skinned animal; also
the fur is thick and of great weight,
which initiates against it's use. This
fur is used to a great extent in max
ing the finer quality OF hats. The yield
of beaver skins has fallen off greatly,
the decrease being a fair illustration of
how the fur animal is passing. In
1855 the return of beaver pelts from
Northern Canada was Z 1000. Last
year there were about 5000 skins
brought in. Marten is light, beautiful
and warm, therefore there is much
sense in it's vogue. Mink is probably
the most beautiful of all fur outside of
that of the four royal animals-sea-
otter, black fox, sable and seal. A sea-
otter has been known to bring nearly
two thousand dollars, and a single
black fox has sold for half as much. A
choice dark marten would bring from
.a$15 to $40; but the general price is
from Sc to $40. Otter is worth from
So to $12; fisher about the same; bea-
yer, Sc; mink, So to 81; and skunk, 81
to So. Lynx are caught in great num-
lbers in the north, and the skin makes
fair lining for cloaks. Considering the
size it is very cheap-from So to So
Bear, musk-ox, wolf and badger have
taken the place of the almost extipcr
buffalo as robes. The musk-ox skin
worth about $25 in its raw state, is
beautiful, heav%ily-furred, long-hairet

rRAMps AvolD MT. CARROLL.
This a a Terror to HobOes-Hangs
Over a Precipice.

This jail q Terror to HobOes-Hangs
Over a Precipice.
No hobo who has ever visited the
town of Mount Carroll, ILL.,, has been
known to venture within a mile of it
again. This fact is owing to the To-
cation rather than TO the condition Of
the town jail. Once a tramp catches
sight of it he would no sooner linger
within its shadow than would a crow
light upon the made-up figure in a
cornfield. Indeed, the co~ntrivance is
made to serve the purpose of a tramp
scare The Wandering Willie who for
a single night has lodged in the Mount
Carroll Jail has carried away with him
sufficient terrors to keep him out of
the county during the remainder of his
wandering life. 1t comes nearer being
a c~alaboose in the clouds than n
earthly bastile. Mount Carroll is high,
but the Jail is several pegs higher.
Around the town winds the Waukarusa
river. One may step aside from a main
street and look down a sheer descent
of several hundred feet into the lazy
stream. One of the streets ended at
the brink of this steep bank. The city
fathers thought it would be a good
idea to blockade the avenue by erect
ing a town building ON the edge Of
the jagged palisade. 1t would not only
serve to keep careless people from
pitching over the brink, but could be
used as a Jail, in which trivial Offend
ers could be held. 1t so happened,
however, that the structure was made
to block up the premises of a citizen.
The big box-like affair presented d
broadside to the citizens front door.
1t was so near that an imprisoned to-
bacco fiend could from an open win
dow expectorate over the stoop floor.
The town was threatened with a dam
age suit If it did not take the thing
away forthwith. There was only thing
to do. and that was to move the Jail
over the precipice and set it on stills.
About fifty feet below is a rocky ledge
fifteen feet wide. A framework of
props was set on this ledge and THIS

box. From one of the windows to- the
muddy Waukarusa is a downlock cap
able of appalling the heart of the
most hardened hobo in the land. 1t
is a constant fear that the high Winds
which have a habit of prevailing in
Mount Carroll, will move the struc-
ture from its equilibrium and topple
it over into the abyss. The fimsy
continuance, set up there on pegs, looks
as though a single blast of Old Boreas
would unsettle it, or, worse still. 6
twister take it up and whirf it of
the earth. The unique excuse for
Jail and it's terrifying location ha'
served the town well. Until the ex
pected takes place and the shaky' boz
tumbles7 down the cliff, 10 observing
rambling Rufus will risk being shu
up in it for a single night.-Philadel

treasurer OF England in the reign OF
the Merry Monarch. Charles II. show
cred honors upon his treasurer, and
Thomas Osborne, the great-grandson
of the apprentice who had made a for
tunate rescue of his masters daughter,
became Duke of Leeds, a title which
his descendants hold today. One OF the
apprentices descendants, the seventh
Duke of Leeds, married Miss Cation OF
Maryland, a granddaughter of Charles
Carroll of Carrollton. In the Scots
Guards is an officer, Luke White. This
officer is Baron Annaly of the United
Kingdom. A century or so ago there
was another Luke White, who kept a
lottery Office and dealt in secondhand
books in Dublin. One day, so n
story runs, this Luke White was look
ing through a secondhand book when
he came across a lottery ticket with
which he was wise enough not to part.
AS luck would have it, the ticket won
a valuable prize, which at once placed
the winner in a position OF atf1uence.
Three of his sons became colonies IN
the army and members of parliament,
and the youngest of them married the
daughter of William Dempster of Ski
DO castle, Andrew Carnegie's Scottish
home, and became Baron Annaly. His
descendant is the present baron, the
Luke White of the Scots Guards. The
Earl of narrowly is a nobleman of
standing in England, as proud of his
lineage as any of them, as he has a
right to be, for it is an honorable one,
though sprung from small beginnings.
More than two centuries ago a Smit3'
field hosier named Ryder had a cleyet
son whom he was anxious to put into
the church, while the boy was reso-
lutte to be a lawyer. So ~obstinately
was the point contested between father
and son that it began to seem probable
that the boy would have to become a
hosier like his father in default of a
solution. Fortunately the matter was
submitted for final decision to an old
friend of the family, who pumped in
favor of the law; and thus the boy was
started on a career which led to the
highest seat on the bench and to the
foundation of the fortunes of the Ry-
ders, Earls of Harrowbg.

1t is interesting to recall that just
as the present Edward VII. chose his
second baptismal name as the one by
which he wished to be designated
when he mounted the throne, SO like
wise his g~reat-uncle, William Henry,
would have preferred to be known as
Henry TX, says the Literary Era. One
of the reasons for this preference was
the desire to establish lawful right to
a title which had already been AFRO
gated by the Cardinal of York, the last
OF the Stuart pretenders. When the
question, however, came up for discus
sion by the Priyy Council, the latter
decided in favor of King William VII.

self to Miss Helen Lloyd, the cover
