Good News.

A certain ex-congressman tells q
story about a widow in his district who
desired a position in the agricultural
department.
There was no vacancy at that
time,' said he, and l was consequent
ly compelled to advise my constituent
that | could do nothing for her until
later. But she persisted in her efforts
to obtain a position and for two weeks
thereafter met me at every turn. One
morning | had just finished breakfast
when | was told by the servant that
she was awaiting me in the reception
hall. SO | assumed as pleasant a de.
meanor as possible, and. entering the
room, said in a sympathetic voice:
"'Well. my good woman what

The First Linen Paper.

Linen cloth was occasionally used
for writing purposes. but was never
very common. Linen manuscripts have
been found folded in mummy cases,
ard the Chinese before the invention of
paper used silk and cotton cloth. The
Romans also wrote upon linen. The
use of this material introduced a change
in the II of writing. The other
substances We're rather engraved than
written upon. an iron point being used
for the purpose.
TO write upon linen ii was necessary
to have some colored fluid which might
get dry and leave a permanent mark.
: he first ink used was probably some
sort of SCOT or lampblack mixed with
size or gum water, and the first instru-
ment answering to our pen was a reed

Jade.

The most precious of all stones, ac-
cording to a gem expert, is the jade, on
account Of its rarity, its extraordinary
qualities and the mystery of its cutting
1t was regarded as a sacred stone, and
nobody had a right to possess it except
a prince of imperial blood. Argerius
Clutius, a famous physician in Amster-
dam at the time of the renaissance,
published a work on the jade, or ne
phritic stone, as it was then called. on
account of it's action ON the renal sys-
tenn. At the same period Italian au-
thors spoke of the Jade as osiada and
discussed its wonderful powers for
healing sciatica.
The legends surrounding this stone
abound in history. Good specimens OF
Jade are extremely rare. and the world
is at a loss to know how the Chinese
managed to cut ii, because it is so cX
tremely hard that nothing ear make an
impression upon it.

about the same and tho sam, was
true of feeders. Stock cattle were
lower. Hogs sold a shade lower than
Saturday, from $40 to 1892. the

market was steadier to easier.
The week opens out with the heav-
lest Monday run of the year. There
were 215 fresh loads, 5,OS1 head. as

The offerings included a large per-
centage of good we'll fatted beeves.
although as usual there were no
strictly PRIME cattle and not a great
many short fed and half fatted steers.
The beef steer market was slow
and unevenly lower. Liberal local
receipts an dthe report of a heavy run
and sharply lower prices at Chicago
bad a very depressing effect on the
trade. Some of the light and handy
weight cattle, such as all buyers were
after did not sell so very much lower
than last week, but bids on the good
heavy beeves were generally 10 a 15c
lower. Trade was very dull and was
mostly on the basis of a fiat 10c de-
cline. Fair to very good 1850 to

Max O,ReII,s Adder.

During his tour through Australia
many years ago death was once close
upon Max O'Rell. as 1t seemed to him
at the time. Lying in bed one night in
bush hostelry. worried by mosquitoes
and thinking Of the snakes against
which he had been warned. he became
aware of the presence alongside of him
of cold. treacherous snake. probably
q death adder, as it was only about
three feet long. Death from the bite
of this playful adder is rapid and pain
less, and the Frenchman recorded aft
erward his reflection that it was bet
ter perhaps to die that way than by
govt or rheumatism. After an hour of
agony, however. he slipped out OF bed,
struck a light and went about the room
searching for the walking stick he had
carried especially for defense against
reptiles. After weary and nervous
hunt he found it at last among the dis
ordered bedclothes.

Curious Habit In a Dog.

A certain POmeranian has most ex-
traordinary habit at mealtimes which
appears worth recording. This behav-
ior is the prelude to only one kind Of
food e., bread and milk. 1t consists
In first wiping the nose smartly to and
fro on the flannel on which the dog
lies, and this is repeated between each
mouthful. To such an extent is this
eccentricity carried that she refuses
this kind Of food altogether If there is
no flannel to wipe her nose on. The
curious part Of the whole episode Is
that there is none of this wiping with
bread sopped in gravy. 1t seems to be
suggested by some irritation peculiar
to warm milk-London Times.

The complexity of animal structure
Is marvellous. A caterpillar contains
more than 1000 muscles. In human
body are some 100000 perspiration
glands, communicating with the sur
face by ducts, having total length of
some ten miles, while that Of the ar
teries, veins and capillaries must be
very great The blood contains millions
Of corpuscles, each a structure in itself.
The rods in the retina, which are sup
posed to be the ultimate recipients Of
light. are estimated at 100000, and
Meinert has calculated that the gray
matter of the brain Is built Of at least
800 100000 cells.

manner the practices Of many savage
and barbaric uations. The great ma
tons of Asia such as the Hindoos and
the Chinese. still cling to the belief in
the eclipse monster. The latter meet 1T
with prayers. like the Turks. But even
in civilized Europe, both ancient and
modern, one finds numerous proofs of
this superstition. The Romans came to
the succor Of the afflicted moon by
finging firebrands into the air, by the
blare of trumpets and the clang of
brazen pots The superstition survived
through the middle ages into a very
late period. France Wales and Ireland
offer many instances as late as the
seventeenth century.

A Temple of Divorce.

So long ago as 1850 the wife of
Japanese regent obtained from the gov
eminent permission to rescue women
from the hands Of cruel husbands. The
means she took were very simple. A
new sect Of Buddhism known as the
Zen was just then being formed. In
the temple Of the Zen sanctuary was
established for fleeing wives. When
they wished separation or divorce from
their husbands, they could claim pro-
lection under the wing Of the temple.
Once across the threshold, government
officials would not be allowed to inter-
fere, still less the furious husbands.
This temple of divorce" was supreme
umpire on matters of matrimonial dis
agreement. The practice of the ''privi-
lege of the temple" was maintained for
over 600 years.

India are in the habit of hanging little
vessels on the palm trees for the pur-

is 50 attractive to the sloth bear that.
although such a poor climber. he will
scramble up and go on drinking the
juice until he is so drunk that he can
only slip helplessly to the ground and

effects have passed off.
But the sloth bear Is not the only
animal who is SO partial to this juice
of the palm tree. The curious fruit Tor

A Joke o.Ren Didn't Appreciate.

Max O'Rell was booked to lecture in
Hartman's hall in Grand Rapids a
number of years ago. Carroll Hart
man was having a serious time in in
ducing the people of the valley city to
see the merits of lecturers.
There was big sale for the O'Reli
lecture and Hartman wandered over
to the Morton House. In the afternoon
to call on the French wit; also to pay
him his fee of 500.
But have not delivered the lecture
yet. Suppose | should die before to-
night" said O'Rell. who could not I'M
derstand why manager should pay
for something not yet delivered.
"Oh. that's all right. I'd exhibit
your corpse" replied Hartman. The
witty Frenchman never recovered from
the shock Of Hartman's remark. At
any rate. he refused to lecture in Grand
Rapids again.-Detroit Free Press.

GYPSY RETICENCE.
1t Was Not Proof Against Charles
Godfrey Leland.

1t Was Not Proof Against Charles
Godfrey Leland.
Charles Godfrey Leland, author of
the CLANS Breitmann" ballads, had a
passion for studying the race of gyp-
sizes and at the same time great human
sympathy with chem. The fact that
he was the greatest living authority on
the gypsy tongue and customs gave
him little pleasure compared with the
delight of being hailed as brother by
gypsy horse traders at English fairs
and gypsy musicians in Russia and
Austria.
One day in Philadelphia he met three
dark Iuen whom he knew to be of an
ancient stock. He was quite sure that
they could speak a language which
contained roots of Sanskrit, Hindoo
and Persian. Yet they would make no
display Of it. They would, like their
race, deny all knowledge of it as we'll
as the fact of their gypsy blood.
He addressed them in Italian, and
they answered fuently. He changed
to obscure tongues of the east, and
again they replied.
"Have you got through all your Ian
guagesw he inquired at last.
eyes, signor, al Of them"
isn't there one left behind which
you have forgotten? Think minute"
"No, signor; none."
"What, not one?'
"Signor, you have seen every egg in
the basket"
Leland looked the man fiXedly in the
eye and put question in Romany
There was a startled glance from one
to the other and then a silence. He
asked them, again in Romany, won't
you talk with a gypsy brother?"
That opened the gates. They shook
his hands in great emotion and tried
to tell him how happy they were in
having met some one who knew them.
