PHILIPPINE VOLCANOES.

MRyOn IL the Most Famous, and the
TaaI Comes Next.
The most famous Philippine volcano
and one Of the finest volcano cones In
the world is that Of Mayon. Its height
is 8,9T0 feet, and the volcano is visible
at a great distance. Since 1766 records
have been kept Of its eruptions. In
that year many plantations and vii
lagos were buried under a stream Of
lava which flowed down Its eastern
slope. About 1900 lives were lost in
the eruption of 1914, which buried the
country around a part Of the base Of
Mayor under the outpourings Of lava
and dust. A similar calamity In 1926
destroyed the lives Of about 1900 per
sons. In the nineteenth century there
were number of severe eruptions, in
Guiding one In 18S6-S7 which continued
about nine months. An eruption in
1897 killed $50 persons and destroyed
much property. Twenty-Five violent
eruptions of this volcano are on record.
Next to Mayon the Taal volcano is
the most remarkable. 1t is on an is
land in the lake Of Bombon, and the is
land, built up by Its outpourings, has
an area Of 220 square miles. The vol
cano is necessarily ejecting dust and
vapor from its crater. Taal, as well as
Mayor, has been the center of numer-
GUS destructive earthquakes, but no
very great eruption has occurred since
1864, when four villages around the
mountain were completely destroyed

HUSUM GRANGE
Holds Fruit FAIR.

Husum, Wash, Nov. 28.-Edtor Gla-
cier: Following is report of Husum
grange's doings Thanksgiving day. Had
you been at Husum on that day you
could have seen the people going to the
school house with baskets filled with
everything to satisfy the inner man
But we as grangers did not stop with
well filled baskets but brought along
samples of vegetables, fruits and chicks
as well to exhibit, all OF which your
humble scribe can say rivaled anything
in that line seen this year. Atl0o'clock
the masters gavel fell and the labors Of
the day began. We initiated class of
eight in the Sd and 4th degrees, followed
by dinner prepared by the worthy ma
tron of our order. And if ye editor had
been here he surely would have gone
home with an attack OF Indigestion or
gout. To say the least, Husom nlatrons
are good cooks But we as grangers
look for something more than means to
satisfy the inner man. So, after doing
justice to all the good things to eat, the
following literary programme was rem
dered:

A lawyer who formerly practiced his
profession in Georgia tells in the New
York Telegram this amusing case
which he once tried in that state. He
was then a student In the office Of his
uncle, Colonel Culver, who figured in
local politics. A 'trifling" negro, Ben
Sutton, had been arrested at the In
stance Of his wife, who was tired of
suppOEting him and insisted that the
court make him work:
l defended Ben at the instance Of
my uncle, who was, am sorrcVto say,
inclined to curry favor with the col

One marked characteristic Of the peo-
pie Of Norway is their intense and
artistic love Of flowers. They never
heap them in indiscriminate masses,
but the poorest peasant woman will
gather a few of the wild blossoms
which grow at her door and arrange
them in a glass at her window with
an exquisite taste and feeling which
are good to see. The custom obtains
with high and low, and flowers are
as necessary to a Norwegian dinner ta-

The religion Of the country is Luther

fHE CODE IN ANCIENT TIMES
Famous Duel In the Days OF Coed
Queen Amaze.

Famous Duel In the Days Of Coed
Queen Amaze.
In the reign Of good Queen Anne
iuels were no less frequent than In
the rowdy, riotous days Of Charles II.
Lord Mohun, a dissolute, remorseless
nobleman, was the terror Of honest
London citizens at this time, and
many were the infamous escapades in
which he played chief character. He
was guilty of one act which bears no
other name than that Of murder-the
killing Of poor Mountford, the actor,
In cold blood because he endeavored to
protect the honor OF Mrs. Bracegirdle,
the famous and beautiful actress. 1t
was Lord Mohun who fought and kill
ed the Duke of Hamilton, an affair
which all will remember who have
read Thackerays great novel. "Es-
uond."
The duel was fought with swords in
Hyde park, the challenge having been
sent by Mohun to the duke, who had,
with perfect accuracy, stated that one
of Mohun's creatures had neither
truth nor justice in him." The Duke
of Hamilton received wound In the
right side OF the leg about seven inches
long, another in the right arm, third
in the upper part of the breast, run
ming downward toward the body;
fourth on the outside of the left leg.
Lord Mohun himself was mortally
wounded. receiving large wound in
the groin, another In the right side
through the body, in which the sword
plunged right up TO the hilt, and a
third in his arm. There is no doubt
he rightly deserved his death, because,
departing from the rules Of fence
among men of honor, he shortened his
sword, thrust under his opponents
guard and stabbed the duke in the
manner of a common assassin.
