and q Legacy OF Debt.
When Nine. Hanska's husband died
It was supposed that her union with
Balzac would occur at once, but obsta-
cles were interposed by others. Her
own family looked down upon the
great French author as mere story
teller, and by her late husbands people
sordid motives were imputed to Lam to
account for his devotion to the Eelress.
The latter objection was removed a
few years later by the widows giving
up to her daughter the fortune left to
her by NJ. Hanska. This was followed
bv her remarriage after a beautiful
heart drama" as her husband calls it,
(which had lasted seventeen years"
Six months later Balzac died, and my
aunt found herself for the second time

bands large debts and that Of his

deeply, and she would not have been
human if she had not cherished resent
ment against those whose opposition
to her wishes had robbed her of some
years Of happiness, but if it was the
case she never let any one guess It.
Once only I heard her make remark
which gave me a strange insight into
her inner life. We were talking about
happiness in general, and l observed
how very eager people We're to inter-
fere with that of their neighbors. My
aunt looked at me for some time, then
slowly said: II think that this comes
from the fact that so very few people
understand what real happiness it.
They mostly look upon it as a superb
cial thing and treat it with the light
heartedness they apply to all other en-
joyments Of existence. If they under

regarding the cheap grades of

He says: II have discovered by

latter element giving the deadly
dose the desired snap I was
astounded when the chemists in

Ninety-fve per cent of the sam

the presence of d-alcohol in
poisonous quantities, along with
the pepper. Some samples con.
tajned arsenic, turpentine and
and traces of prussic acid" Doc

proceedings in over one hundred
cases where the deadly stuff had
been sold. From present indi-

Rarse Day In Newcastle.

In Newcastle, England, the mayor en-
joys the privilege Of once a year being
allowed to select and kiss any young
woman who takes his fancy among
the coal city's inhabitants. The KISS
is rather costly, however, for it IS the
cIstom to present the young person
kissed with a sovereign (S5), while a
further gift is made her by the lady
mayoress, no doubt to disprove Jeai-
ousy. The sheriff, not to be outdone,
also hestows a kiss upon a fair by
stander, at the same rate Of expendi-
ture. The occasion is known as Barge
day, when the mayor and corporation
proceed in procession Of four gayly
decorated steamers and two old state
barges to claim the soil of the river
Tyne. Their journey over, the mayor
stands upon the boundary stone, and 1t
is here that the kissing is INDUCED IN.

a man was charged at Sydney with
murder and by way Of defense called
evidence to prove an alibi. At the time
the crime was committed he was, he
said, in his own home listening to q
friend VINO was reciting novel to him.
The expression caught the ear Of the
prosecuting counsel, and when a wit
ness went into the box to say that he
was the man by whom the prisoner
was being entertained he tackled him
on this word. The witness repeated
that he was ''reciting" Horace Wal
poles "OId English Baron" not read
ing it, but reciting from memory, and
it had taken him two and half hours
to get through the whole book. Well,
if he could remember it while in hut
in the bush he ought to be able to re-
member it now in court, and counsel
demanded q demonstration.
'Give US page or two" he said
never dreaming that his request would
be compiled with. Ehe witness cleared
his throat and without hesitation com
menced, "In the time Of King Henry
when the good Duke Humphrey re
turned from the wars in the Holy
Land, where he had been sojourning
for number Of years." and so on,
without hesitation, for several pages

cution, quite staggered BY the display
confessed himself satisfied. But the
witness was not, and the prisoners

cast upon his phenomenal witness

The Skill They Show In Their Meth
cd Of Growing Mushrooms.
The little busy bee has had a less
conspicuous place in our hall Of fame
for insects since we have come to
know more Of the sterling qualities and
great intelligence which are attributes
Of the ants. Professor J. 2. Ainsworth
Davis gives proofs Of their right to our
applause. He says: 'In tropical Amer
lea the traveller In their native region
often sees thousands Of ants marching
in column CT route, each holding in its
powerful jaws piece Of green leaf
about the size Of sixpence. These
they take to their nests. The material
is used as an elaborate sort Of mush-
room culture, requiring much more
skill and intelligence than that in
which human beings engage. The
mushroom grower sets spawn in the
beds he prepares, but the ant does
not need to do this. The desired spawn
soon makes its appearance in the
chewed leaf But in its natural state
it is inedible and must undergo careful
treatment before it yields the mush-
room which the ant desires. The nee
essary work Is done by special caste
Of gardener ants. These weed out OBJ
noxious germs, etc., and, pruning of
the tips Of the threads, prevents them
from growing into the air and produc-
ing useless toadstools. AS result OF
this the threads swell into innumer-
able little rounded white chickering's,
each Of which is about one-ffteth Of
an inch across It is these which are
the mushrooms. These curious bodies
constitute the sole food Of the ant-or,
at any rate, the chief food"

Ancient Tallors' Laws.

An old labor law in England in force
in 17S3 contained the following SIX
clauses: ANY tailor who Joined union
was to be sent to jail for two months
Tailors must work from 6 o'clock IN
the morning until S at night. Wages
were not to be higher than 48 cents a
day. Each tailor was to be allowed 8
cents for breakfast. Any tailor who re-
fused to work was to be imprisoned
for not more than two months. If any
employer paid higher wages he was TO
be fined $25, and the worknen VINO
took the increase were to be sent to
Jail for two months.

THE O'GORMAN MAHON.
He staggered Of to Death as he
Fad SraESered Through Life.

He SwaSGered Of to Death as he.
had staggered Through Life.
The O'Gornan AIahon was about
eighty years Of age when I met him
For the first time. One could still see
what q lion of a man he had been. He
was over six feet high. He had still
an immense name of snow white hair,
and he had long, white beard. The
face was long and horse shaped, the
eyes We're still bright and fierce and
defiant, and the voice had q deep note
like the roar Of an enraged lion. The
O'Gorman Mahon was the very pink
of old fashioned courtesy, but one
could easily see what man he had
been. He was the great duelist Of his
day, a survival Of the squires who
live in the pages Of the chroniclers Of
Ireland before the Union. he had
been out dozens if not scores Of times,
and there was a story Of his fighting
some three duels all in morning.
It was curious that he stuck to the
old dueling gospel to the end I never
saw a man so disguised as he was
when he found that Mr. Parnel1 would
not send a challenge to Sir William
Barcourt for some insulting language
which Sir William had used to the
Irish chief. I can still recall the scene.
1t took place at one Of the tables IN
the tearoom Of the house Of commons.
The old warrior turned up at the con-
sultation, looking almost radiant. He
shifted the dueling ground from afar.
Scme two or three Of the then young
colleagues Of Parnell were present,
and this idea Of a challenge appeared
to their modern minds, Of course, as
something grotesque But The OGor'
man Mahon had come ID perfect faith
that a duel was certainty, and his
long, horse shaped face became visibly
longer as Parnel1 calmly said that ne
did not regard dueling as rational OF
necessary. The old gentleman was toe
polite to express his real feelings, but
the panied silence which followed the
announcement Of Parnell sufficiently
revealed what he felt.
During the all night sittngs Of the
eighties The O'Gorman Mahon was al
ways in his place. he made 1t ALMOST
a point Of vanity never to be aosen'
when any such work was going. He
wore the same suit Of clothes winter
and summer. It was curious hgn1
colored heavy tweed Somehow or oth
er it seemed to accord with the white
name and the white beard. He also
was a great smoker, but instead Of g
cigar he used to smoke the democratic
pipe, and, if mistake not, the tobacco
was both strong and cheap: He could
tell very strange tales Of the old days
in Ireland and in many other parts Of
the world too. He had fought in some
Of the many civil wars Of the southern
hemisphere and had many marTels tc
relate Of earthquakes, revolutions ano
other natural and human phenomena
in those farof regions.

The annual fair at Stourbrldge, near

instituted by Carausius, the rebel Ro-
man emperor Of Britain, on Sept. l9,
a. D. POI. It certainly fourished as
early as this, and British commerce IS
believed to have had its first real boom
in consequence Of the reports carried
to the continent by foreign traders who
focked to this worlds fair. About a
thousand years later Stourbridge fair fair
got a new lease Of life from King John
for the benefit Of a leper hospital, and
for eight centuries or more it was the
