The Ptng-pos,e wrist.

When a man nowadays in New York
extends his left hand for the grip of
greeting, and cries ''Ouch!'' if any
one touches his right arm, it is a
clear case of ping-pong, The latest
thing in spring styles. is the "ping-
pong wrist and it is very popular all
the way from the Battery to the Har-
lem river. In one brokers' office in
Nassau street the other day half a
dozen men were trying to write with
their left hands. They are beginners
at ping-pong, and at first the exercise
is excessively trying on the wrist that
is accustomed to nothing more exact
ing than a pen. One man excited some
derision by slipping a heavy rubber
band around his wrist to relieve the
ache that had fingered there over
night. There is no diminution in the
demand for ping-pong outfits, notwitT-
standing the approach of summer.

Twenty years ago he stood upon the
side of Vesuvious while that mountain
belched forth lava and smoke, says the
Washington Post. 1--WE had gone up
part of the way in carriages said Mr..
Proctor, recently, relating his expert
ence, "but when we came to the place
where we were to take the cog rail
way, we found that there had been an
accident, and the cars were not run
ming. About dark the manager sent
everyb ody away, with the statement
that no ascent would be possible until
the next day Being compelled to leave
Naples on the following day, and hav-
ing letters to the manager, persuaded
him to let me have some guides and
try to- ascend the volcano on foot. He
consented, and we started. We could
not get close to the crater because the
fire and lava were pouring forth, and
even where we stood a shower of
pumice was falling. We tried to get
the gTlides, to take an American coin
and get an impression of it in the soft
lava, but they would not do it. The
stuff was too hot. I remember that it
was midnight when we reached the
highest accessible point on the sum-
nit; but the stream of red-hot lava
made the locality as light as day"

poRTuNE NoBopY WANTS.
HeI.rs OF a GYPSY Murderer Cali 1t
~BIOOd Money! and VIII Not
Have Any of It.

A aesT phase of the gypsy character
has developed in the circuit court at
Evansville, which has put the court in
a position where there is neither law
nor precedent for action, says an In
dianapolis report to the New York
Sun.
Isaac Harrison, known for many
years in the west and south as the
Gypsy King, was murdered by one of
his sons in Alabama year ago. Har-
rison's home was at Evansville. He
had accumulated some means during
his rowing life and had invested his
money so advanta geously that he pos
sessed a moderate fortune. The muir
derer fled to the west and the old
mans property was administered by
the court, each OF the heirs receiving
an equal share. The amount due to
the fugitive son was paid into court,
as he was absent, and passed to the
possession of the clerk of the county
as the courts officer.
Several weeks ago young Harrison
was injured in railroad accident nd
died two days later. Before death he
revealed his identity and the authori-
ties at Evansville were notified. None
terest in the result of the murderer's
death. When applied to by the court
for proof of his end Ill refused to take
any steps in the ma tier.
The clerk finally secured the neces-
sary proofs and the judge ordered the
part of the estate belonging to the
murderer to be distributed among the
other heirs. 1t then developed that
none of his brothers and sisters would
accept any part of the estate. They
said when questioned that it was
''blood money" and they did not want
to touch it.
They do not contend that the father
was murdered for the money, but say
that it came to the son through blood
and it is. the same as though he had
killed his father for it. Attempts to
argue the case brought only shakings
of the head and the often iterated
statements: cts blood money. /
don't want it,
AS the legal owners of the sons
part of his fathers fortune are still
alive, the court cannot declare it es-
cheated to the state and it will prob
ably remain in the clerks hands in
definitely. The direct heirs of the old
gypsy chief say that mono, of their
children will ever lay claim to the
money, because its possession would
be certain to bring misfortune upon
anyone who takes it.

FALL OF VOLCANIC DUST.
An immense Amount from the Sou
friere Came Down on
BarbadOes.

The Barbados Agricultural Report
er has sent to this office a specimen of
the volcanic dust which fell on that is
land on May z, and 9, reports the New
York Tribune. Borne from st. Vim
cent it says, sin the upper strata of
the air, and there suspended, this stuff
obscured the sunlight, and produced
the phenomenon of darkness. In color
and consistency it resembles Portland
cement" 1t quotes the following de-
scription of the dust by w. G. freeman,
of the local department of agriculture:
''From the calculated results of
series of observations made in Strath-
clyde on the fall of volcanic ASH it
about IS ounces fell per square foot
between the hours of five p. m. on
Wednesday and five a. N. on Thursday.
This, perhaps, may not appear large
amount; but look at it from another
point of view. Thirteen ounces per
square foot means III ounces per
square yard, or, to express it in famil-
lar terms in an agricultural com
munity, no less than 1872 tons per acre.
Leaving for the while minor units,
such as acres, we find that 10,240 tons
every square mile of this island during
the last IL hours of darkness. Suppos-
ing the fall to have been approximately
equal in depth over the whole island,
the almost incredible amount of 1,699,-
$40 tons of solid matter was added to
the Barbados last night"

Breed, Wis, June ,16th.-Charles F
Peterson, of this place, Justice of the
Peace for Oconto County, tells the fol
lowing story:
For years I had an aching pain in
my back which troubled me very much,
especially in the morning.
81 was almost unable to straighten
my back and the pain was unbearable.
81 did not know what it was, but
seeing an advertisement of Dodd's Kid

81 can only say that that one box
alone has done me more good than
anything else ever did.
