ScOtlanil's Round Towers.

Scotland boasts of two round towers,
said to be stragglers from the great
typical group found in Ireland. The
one is attached to the handsome cathe-
dral of Brechin and the other stands in
the center of Abernethy, near the en-
trance gate to the churchyard. The
Brechin tower, built in six irregular
courses and rising over 100 feet, is the
more perfect of the two. 1t dates from
Kenneth's reign, 971-95, and has most
graceful appearance. Pennant in his
history speaks of having, in 1772, found
handsome bells within it's walls. These
We're afterward removed and now hang
in a neighboring steeple. The origin Of
these towers is now somewhat doubt
full, but archnologists are generally
agreed that they were built in connec-
ton with churches "for defense and
faithfulness of watch" during the
Norseman raids. They We're afterward
used as belfries, the Brcchin tower hay
ing done duty as such for generations.
The tower is now one of the sights c
the ancient town and is regarded as a
memorial of it's early Connection with
Ireland.-Scottish-A American.

Two Clever Statesmen.

One crisis in Lord Palmerstons life
illustrates the absolute good humor
which may prevail even when political
enmity is at it's worst. Lord Derby had
made an attack upon him in the upper
house with such energy and eloquence
that the odds against him seemed over
whelming. But he defended himself
and his policy from the dusk of one
day to the dawn of another with such
tact, deXterity and force of appeal to
the national sense of honor that he was
acquitted of all blame by majority Of
fOurscore.
Next day In passing through the cor
ridor leading from an anterOOm to the
upper house one swing door opened to
his hand and at the same moment the
other to that of Lord Derby. They
We're opponents. but they We're also
manly and sweet natured men. They
smiled.
81 was just thinking" said Palmer
ston. "what clever fellow he was who
so nearly put me in hole!'
"Ah," was the rejoinder, "but moth
ing like the cleverness Of the fellow
who got you out Of it!'

WISDOM OF THE WIDOW.
Views of n Man Who Does Not Agree
With Tony Weller.


The man who marries a girl just out
OF school has need of much shrewdness,
tact and fOrtitude, for the first year OF
'uatrimony will produce a violent revo-
luton in her mind. AS she learns to
know her husband-she who has never
seen him except when he had his best
coat on-she will deem him brute and
will be disappointed and disguised, for
she will compare him with that impos-
sible ideal of manhood which every
girl has in her mind and of which he.
Of course, falls short. But with ex-
perience will come wisdom. In time
she will understand that her girlhood's
ideal, if she were to have him in the
flesh, would be an unbearable prig,
and that her husband is about as good
as men go and even-if she loves him
little better than the next man.
A widow has all this knowledge Of
men and of the world, which spinster
lacks. A man talks to a widow freely
as to one who has found him out. She
is expert in the arts of pleasing him,
and if bright young widow sets her
cap Tor man he can escape her only
by flight. A widow has no illusions
and no ideals. She is well trained and
used to going double, while the spinster
is an unbroken filly and is bound to
kick up a good deal when she first feels
tug at the snaffle.-San Francisco

THE TURKISH WOMAN.
Her Friday Excursions on the Sweet
Waters of Asia.

k1cr FrlUay EiXcufSlOnS On the sweet
Waters of Asia.
Friday is the only day on which
Turkish women enjoy little liberty
and release from the dreadful seclusion
in which they are always kept, and
they are not slow to avail themselves
of the chance. On Fridays every one
goes to the Sweet Waters of Asia,
which consist Of a small river running
about two miles inland, with trees and
meadows on each side. Hundreds of
boats assemble and glide up and down
the river. Every boat or caique has
two or more Turkish ladies on board.
The sight is a very fine one, as each
private caique is most carefully got
up, and the boatmen wear brilliant liv-
cries to match the cushions and the
long embroidered cloth which hangs
over the stern and trails in the water.
The khedivah Of Egypt is one of the
finest, in crimson and gold, embroid-
cred with crowns and fishes. Besides
the liveries the parasols make a Won
derful show, and here may be seen all
the latest Partisan creations. The la
dies must not speak to men, but the
careful observer can frequently catch
sight Of wells lowered or other signal
given when particular boat is pass
ing, and habitual frequenters can point
out boats which are sometimes close to
each other. 1t is very innocent d.
version and would not satisfy western
ladies. An hour before sunset the po-
lice boats appear and force all women
to leave.-London Telegraph.

To Market ON Stills.

An interesting and picturesque Gus
tom in southwestern France is that Of
going to market on stills. Groups of
young men and women mounted on
high stills may be seen daily crossing
the marshy plains known as 1.-The Ian
des." THE Landes'' are cut up into
small bitches. pools and hummocks,
and stills are in consequence almost
necessary to those who desire to trav-
erse them.

John Kelly. former alderman of the
Eighteenth ward and father of John r.
Kelly who Is also an ex-alderman or
that ward, was yesterday charged with
forgery and perjury by Attorney John
F. Scragg in the case of John Benore
against John Kelly and said 1t was
only Kelly's advanced age which de-
tered him from moving against him In
the criminal courts.
The case was called for trial yester-
day morning in No. 3 before Judge
Morrison and did not go to the jury
until late in the afternoon. In 1884
Mrs. Kelly, wife of the defendant, and
now deceased. gave John Benore, a
mortgage for $1,650 on certain property
on Scranton street, this city. Various
amounts were paid on the mortgage
from time to time and out of this grows
the law suit. Mr.. Benore now alleges
there Is due on the mortgage with in
terest s1,17sS2 Mr.. Kelly contends
that there Is due only about $4OO and
contends that he was not given credit
for many payments he made. In proof
of this he presented receipts for more
than $500 which the plaintiff declares
are forgeries. The case was given to
the Jury in the afternoon and a verdict
had not been reached at adjourning
hour.

INFECTION OF SCHOOLS.
Teachers Committee Found Build
ings in North Scranton and
Green Ridge Very Full.

The teachers committee Of the board
of control, accompanied by Supern-
tendent of Schools G. w. Phillips and
Secretary e. d. Fellows. yesterday be-
gan an inspection of the city schools
for the purpose of investigating their
overcrowded condition.
The members of the committee started
out early in the morning and drove to
North Scranton, where Nos. %, q, 2S
and 80 were inspected. In all of the
first three schools the attendance was
found to be much larger than last year,
but not to any very alarming extent
because of the opening of new No. 80,
which is not yet entirely completed. Six
rooms in this building have been
opened and are filled to their fullest
capacity.
The attendance in the rooms of all
of these buildings averaged from twelve
to fifteen more than the term average
for last year. Thus in one room in No.
20. where the attendance last year aver
aged thirty EIGHT, it is fifty-four now,
with seating accommodate tions for only
forty eight.
Schools No. 81 and 2S, in Green Ridge,
and No. 9, in Pine Brook, were also Wis
tied and found to be much fuller than
last year. While number of breaker
boys were reported as being in attend
ance at all of these schools. neverthe-
less a good part of the increased at
tendance is said to be attributable to an
increase in the population in the local
ity. At No. 80 school a room has been
set aside for the use of breaker boys OF
all ages. No. Q school in the Seventh
ward was also visited, but this build
ing was found to be not overcrowded.
The committee will visit the schools
in West Scranton either tomorrow or
Saturday 1t Is there that the greatest
overcrowding exists. Nos IS and 10. in
the Fourth ward, are said to be full to
overcrowding, as we'll as Nos. IA and 16.
The members of the committee who
inspected the schools yesterday were:
f. S. Barker, T. ]. Jennings, DR.. John
O'Malley, II. ]. O'Malley, e. j. Leonard
and Walter Christmas.
