Congressman Cannon tells this incl
dent in the career Of a postmaster in
his district:
"a man came to this man and ask ed
if there was letter Tor him.
There is, and it's big fat letter
too. There eleven cents due on it. "
"Well," said the Irishman, lust
open it and read it to me, will you?
Ny education was neglected in my
youth.
The letter was twenty pages long,
but the postmaster read it all through
out loud.
Just read it again, said the Irish
man, when he ended, and being oblig-
ing, the postmaster did SO.
Then the man scratched his head
and said:
How much did you say was due on
herr"
Eleven cents.
"Well, keep her; she's none Ofmine.
She don't belong to me. And he
walked away.

Barbour county had a black rain
last Saturday. sttIerefused to drink
the rain water White horses and
the cattle in the fields appeared black
after the storm, those who saw 1t say.
On Stewards run it is reported that
the water was so black that many peo-
pie thought the Berryburg coal mine
had been opened through the hill and
tlat the water was pouring from 1t.
This queer rain extended all over the
county, but was much bIacker in
some places than in others. There
is much speculation as to the cause
of this phenomenon, which frightened
many persons.

John Hockey, boy II years old,
was leaving the Methodist church at
Moccasin, ILL.,, the other night just as
the sexton turned out the lights.
Where was Moses when the light
went OUT said the lad, laughingly.
He had hardly spoken when stran-
ger ran at him with long dagger
and plunged it into Hockery's chest.
The blade penetrated the heart and
in five minutes he was dead. His as
sailant was arrested, and said his
name was Moses Tipswood, and that
is the only explanation of the murder.

Radium and Musk.

Radium was the subject matter I'm
der discussion. says the Philadelphia
Record, and a lawyer said: 81 don't
see anything so very wonderful in
radium. Admit that it does throw off
light and heat. in a kind of perpetual
motion, without any loss of weight
or energy-well. won't a grain Of
musk do the same thing? One single
grain of musk (this has been dem
onstrated) will scent for several years
a room IL feet square. and in the end the
grain will still remain entire. Con-
slider what this means. A room 70
feet square contains 1885. 9S4 cubic
inches, and each one-tenth cubic inch,
at least. must have it's little molecule
of musk. or otherwise all the air
would not be perfumed. One grain
of musk. that is to say. will radiate
millions and millions of musk frag-
ments for years and still it will re-
main whole. Can radium beat that?"

Shark Fins in nicaragua.

Consul A. L. NJ. G~ottschalk, writing
from San Juan Del Norte in regard to
the use of shark fins for industrial pur-
poses in the United States, says:
Sharks exist in large numbers on this
coast. The Nicaraguan fishery laws
seem to permit of their being caught as
vermin, and there appears to be no ex-
port duty on any industrial product de-
rived from them. A number of persons
here believe that they could deal with
the United States in shark fins, or in
shark backbones, and skins. The for
mer are used extensively in some coun-
tries in the making of walking canes;
the latter are made into leather en-
ployed for sword grips and fancy arti-
cles. Large quantities of these products
could be sent to the United States, were
there a market for them. l should be
glad to communicate with parties in
terested, if these articles are market
able in the United States IN. Y.

GIndstOne's Statue.

A statue to Gladstone has recently
been placed in Westminster Abbey on
the spot marked for it years ago by
Dean Stanley. 1t occupies the last va
can't space for a standing figure in the
north transept. 1t was made by Mr..
Brock, of the Royal academy, and is a
marble figure on a marble pedestal,
which at present contains no inscrip-
ton. On one side is the statute of Sir
Robert Peel, on the other, that of Lord
Beaconsfield. The aisle is called the
"Statesmen's Aisle" and is les the
pulpit. Gladstone stands in the robes
of a doctor of civil law of Oxford, with
his face turned slightly to the left.
The likeness is good. There is no cere-
mony of unwilling monuments which,
like this, are erected by the authority
of parliament. No display is neces-
sary to call attention to the honor
which the nation pays its great man.
