numination In Human beings.

Illumination, or cud-chewing, in hui
man beings seems to have been known
since 161s, and it is thought that con-
siderably more than 100 cases are now
on record. A German physician recent
ly reported three cases in one family
"a fatherand his two sons. The father,
always rapid eater, began the act
at the age of six and continued it until
death at so, rumination being COM
menced IS or 20 minutes after the meal
and lasting half an hour to an hour.
Food was returned to the mouth at
intervals of three or four minutes,
when it was masticated and reswal-
lowed. The substances had their nat
ural taste, without the acidity they
would have had if digestion had begun,
and meals We're only enjoyed during
and after this process. This case was
typical, except that after death the
stomach was found to have very un-
usual hour-glass form.

presumably therefore happy.
Keene is Irish bred, London born, Nir-
ginia raised. He has Irish grit, Eng
fish love of gaming, Virginia love of a
horse. He was in youth a COW puncher,
a curbstone broker and finally a room
trader" in San Francisco. Before he
left that city he had made and lost
two fortunes. There and in New York
he has made most of his money as
bear. For the past year or two he has
usually operated as bull. He may
again, when he gets ready. The big
specialists of the street dread Keene's
raids more than little.
They have reason to do SO. 1t was in
1888 that Keene, though still a fairly
rich man, disappeared from the street
as a big factor, 1t took ten years of
cautious play to make him again a
commanding figure. Since 1893 he has
made millions by bulling Sugar, mil
lone by bearing Cordage, more mil
lions by bulling Tobacco and by selling
out at days notice when he thought
one of his associates in that operation
event back on him" 1t was then that
the bad feeling between Keene and
Whitney began. The MET" interests
retorted that Keene had worked up
the price of Met stock to its high figure
and sold out at top notch, leaving his
associates in the hole. Afterward they
caught him 'long" of Third Avenue
railroad stock and pinched him to the

ing Henry Hart, an old school business
man, the founder of the line.
So the conflict is now in way "irre-
pressible;" and it does not look well
for the street.

Archaeologists believe that it served as

THE TITLES OF MAYORS.

When, asks the London correspond
ent of the Manchester Guardian, is a
mayor entitled to the prefix fright

purely academic one. says the London
Telegraph, as l have seen the fright
worshipful the mayor of ST. Pancras"

don boroughs, following the example
of those in the country, are generally
content to be styled "worshipful." The
lord mayors who have arisen in the
last ten years at Mancheste1- Liverpool,
Leeds, birmingham, Sheffield and Bris-
toll copy the precedents of London and
York, and are fright honorable"
Strictly, | believe, the mayors of some
ancient cities-such as Exeter, Chester
and Norwich-are by custom styled
right worshipful." Bristol was one
of these cities till the creation of it's
lord mayoralty three years ago. These
fine distinctions recall a story of the
rural deans of Oxford diocese in the
days of Bishop Samuel Wherefore.

destroyed many monuments of native
idolatry and cruelty. However, con-
corning the purpose of the Drinking
Cup of Tizoc (as it is originally called

revealed by sculptures in relief around
its periphery.
The carvings remind one of sculp-
lures on Assyrian and Egyptian tombs

strange headdresses, and captives
whose former residence is indicated by
special symbols, are there represented.
Besides the chief warrior is a hero

Gold in Quill.

A French explorer, lie Roux, informs
us that the natives of Abyssinia have u
peculiar way of carrying the gold
which they find in the beds of streams
to market. They find it in the shape
of dust, and tiny nuggets, which they
put into large quilts as transparent as
glass tubes. The brokers who buy it
work it up into the form of circles of
the size of an ordinary finger ring, but
without closing the circle, for the pur-
chaser always insists on twisting it
to see that it does not contain any adult
teration. Experienced fingers can tell
at once whether the yielding metal has
the exact malleabilitv of pure gold.

more cattle are being raised in the

thousands of acres have been divided

raises much more in the aggregate"

City. at is true the big ranches of 20
years ago have disappeared, but these
lands are held in smaller parcels by
farmers who are largely engaged in
raising corn and feeding stock Where
there We're formerly herds of several
thousand cattle there are now many
small farmers who raise from 20 10 so
head of cattle annually. The horse and
mule business has been on the boom
for several years, and that gave the i'm

become a side issue. During the Boer
