Only Two Held the Office

A town in central Illinois boosted for
many years of most ornamental fig-
ure which adorned the town square
seven days in the week. His name was
Price Poor, and in splendor of attire he
rivaled the Beau Hickman of the CAPT
tai. He had numerous family, which
he kept we'll in the ba ckground during
the few hours he spent at home In the
course of political events in Illinois
Price Poor was elected justice of the
peace. He was prouder of the office
than bird of paradise. The neighbors
shared his glory by reflection. One of
them was seated in Justice Poors sit
ting room one day soon after the elec
ton and heard the justice talking with
his eldest son.
SIS we all jestices, paw" the boy
asked wistfully.
The old man had something of an
impeachment in his speech. Chino, my

An Extra Shower,

Daniel O'Connell. the Irish agitator,
once complained in the house of COM
mons of a report Of a speech in a Lon
don newspaper which, he said, put into
his mouth opinions he had never ex-
pressed. He vowed that if the editor
did not apologize he would move that
he be brought to the bar for breach
of privilege.
Next day the reporter of the speech
waited upCl O'Connell and gave most
remarkable explanation. He stated that
during his walk from the house to his
office in Fleet street the rain streamed
into his pockets and obliterated the
notes of his speech
II accept the explanation, said
O'Connell, good humoredly, but let
me say that it must have been a very
extraordinary shower of rain, for it
not only washed out of your notebook
the speech l delivered, but washed in
another of an entirely different char
acter."

Phenomenal Honeymoon.

A newly married couple were on their
way from Antwerp to Paris when one
of their fellow passengers cut his
throat with a razor in the railway car
riage in which they were travelling.
Another shock awaited them in Paris.
A visitor in the hotel in which they
were staying was killed in the lift in
their presence.
On Sunday they called Oh Il friend
living in Paris who had invited them to
lunch at his house. When extending
the invitation the friend observed,
laughing, "You will not find any corpses
with me-" But when they arrived at
the house their host greeted them with
a request to have the lunch put off, as
his servant had died that morning in a
bathtub from heart disease.
This was too much for the bride. who
tainted and then went into Mysteries.
The couple subsequently took the
first train back to Antwerp.-London

A Literary Tea Topper.

There have been many literary tea
topers, but William Hazlitt, the writer
and critic, probably surpassed every
other author in the singularity and
strength of his pOtatiOns. Rising usu-
ally at 1 or o'clock in the day, he
would sit over his breakfast of ex-
ceedingly strong black tea and toast
ed French roll-if he had no work on
hand-for hours, silent, motionless and
self absorbed as Il Turk.
1t was the only stimulant or luxury
he ever took, and he was very fas-
tidious about it's quality, using always
the most expensive kind and consum-
ing, when he lived alone. about a
pound Il week. He always made the
tea himself. half filling the teapot with
tea, pouring boiling water on it and
then almost Immediately pouring it out
and mingling with it 4 great quantity
of sugar and cream.
Such beverage must have been de-
licious Indeed, Douglas Jerrold says,
"there was fascination in it" but as q
daily stimulant it must have been most
deleterious. and rs the essayst died
after several severe attacks from dis
ease of the digestive organs it prob
ably caused his death.

A ssr,yniur Husbands, Names.

The practice of the wife assuming
the husbands name at marriage, ac-
c.ording to Dr. Brewer, originated from
a Roman custom and became the COM
mon custom after the Roman occupa-
ton. Thus Julia and Octavia, married
to Pompey and Cicero, We're called by
the Romans Julia Of Pompey, Octavia
of Cicero, and in latter times married
women in most European countries
signed their names in the same manner,
but omitted the "of." Against this
view may be mentioned that during the
sixteenth and even at the beginning of
the seventeenth century the usage
seems doubtful. since we find Catha-
rine parr so signing herself after she
had been twice married, and we al
ways hear of Lady Jane Grey mot
Dudley, Arabella Stuart not Sey-
mourn, etc.
Some persons think that the custom
originated from the Scriptural teaching
that husband and wife are one.
This was the rule of law so far back
as Bracton died 1868, and it was de-
ctded in the case of Bon versus Smith.
in the reign of Elizabeth, that woman
by marriage loses her former name and
legally receives the name of her hus-
band. Altogether the custom is involv-
cd in much ObScurity.

Holy Coat of Treves.

The holy coat preserved at Treves, in
Germany, is claimed to be the seamless
garment worn by Christ and for which
the Roman soldiers cast lots during the
crucifiXiOn. 1t is Il tunc about five feet
long. cut narrow at the shoulders and
gradually widening toward the knees.
Many miracles are said to have been
performed by this robe.
It's history for the last 700 years is
clear enough, but darkness shrouds
the story Of the relic prior to the
twelfth century. The Catholic church
relies for proof Of it's authenticity upon
a tradition that it was one of chest
full Of relics sent as Il gift to the
church at Treves by the Empress Hell
ena. She is said to have found the
coat at Jerusalem while in search of
the true cross.
A legend says that in the ninth cen
fury the holy coat was concealed from
the Normans in a crypt of the cathe-
dral. There it remained forgotten until
1906 when it was rediscovered and
placed in the high altar.

How to LiEht a Solid Body.

Cadogan Morgan was the first cleo
trican to experiment with electric light
in solid bodies. This was in 1856. He
first inserted two wires into a stick of
wood and caused the spark to pass be-
tween them. This had the effect of IL
Illuminating the stick beautiful blood
red. An ivory ball, an orange or an ap-
pie may be lighted in the same manner.
Some experimenters prefer the lemon
for this purpose, it being very suscepti-
BILE to the electric discharge, flashing
forth at every spark as a spheroid Of
brilliant golden light. The wires used
for this purpose should be brought
within about half an inch of each other
inside the lemon.
