Palmyra, Va, Dec. 16,-Bmily
Scott, an old negro woman in this
town, Is at present the center of gen.
eral interest. The fact that over
night, so to speak, She has become a
millionairess, after having been a
poor and lowly working woman all
her life, has made her an eight days
wonder and has given to her a promi-
nence which she seems to enjoy inn
mensely.
Mrs Scott, who has lived here for
many years. has son, Thomas, who
Is of mature age and making a living
by doing odd jobs. Recently John
Bowles Flanagan, an old negro, and
the father OF Mrs. Scott, died in the
west, having just come into possession
of property in the city of Omaha
Neb., valued at $1,OOO,OOO, after a
long drawn out litigation In the Ne
braska courts. He was ia years old
at the time of his death aud did moi
live long enough to enjoy the wealth
which fortunes had suddenly thrown
mot his lap:
The property involved consists OF
several city blocks In the heart OF
Omaha and was given TO Flanagan
by an adventures for whom he had
worked several years without compen-
sat DIN. Omaha at that time was q

An odd Old Custom.

Citizens OF the Old Deyonshire town
Of Honlton, In England, are immune
from arrest until sunset one evening
for while the horse fair Is In progress
the arm Of the law Is pow9riess. This
Is in continuation Of a quaint and pic
turesque ceremonial which has been
handed down from the time of Henry
III. When the horse fair begins thG
town crier, IN the gorgeous dress of .
beadle Of the last century, appears car
rylng pole, at the end of which Is Il
large gilt glove decked with flowers
Having rung his handbell three times
the crier, In bis three cornered hat, an
nounced: "Oyez, oyez, oyez! The fat
Is begun; the glove Is up; no man cal
be arrested til the glove is down. Goo
save the king" Each sentence Is cho
rused by the children standing rounC
and at the conclusion they scramble fol
nuts. The glove is taken down at sun

One or the most interesting features
of the tragedy IN 1859, in which King
Kamehameha Nv. shot his secretary,
Mr.. Nelson, arises from the manner in
which the monarch fired his revolver.
1t is said that both men were In a
room alone aud We're drinking beer.
The king walked over to a nantel
above which was hung a large looking
glass. He t0yed with a revolver for
awhile, his back to his victim, and
then, taking note OF Nelson's position
at the opposite side Of the room by
means of the mirror, he pointed the
revolver over Ids shoulder and fired,
the ball striking the secretary with
fatal effect-Pacifc Commercial .Ad-

THE HOODED COBRA.
Il II Venernted In India as the On,
Sacred Serpent.

Il Ia Venernted In India as the One
Sacred Serpent.
or all the snakes of India the naga,
nag or hooded serpent, commonly
known as the cobra, alone Is sacred. II
is called the good snake. and is con
sldered a protector and harbinger of
success. The veneration OF the cobra
is intimately convicted with the wor.
ship OF the sun, and is thus closely re
lated to the orthodox Hlndoo religion.
According to the Mahabharata, the
heaven over which India ruled was
mainly tenanted by Devas and Nagas.
the former being deihed heroes OF the
AryRs and the latter those Of the Nagn
people on earth.
Although wars continued for a long
time to be frequent between rival
chiefs OF the invaders (Aryas) and the
Invaded (Nagas), gradual fusion be-
tween the two peoples took place, and
heaven was shared equally by Detas
and Nagas. The serpent gods are wor-
SHIPPED now, as they were then. not as
dangerous reptiles, nor as mere sym.
bols, but as the delfed rulers Of an
ancient people, whose tribal, or. rather.
perhaps. racial, emblem was the naga,
or hooded serpent, and whose chief
deity was the sun; hence the Naga
temples are not dedicated to the ser.
pent, but to the Naga raJahs, the an.
cient rulers OF the race.

Qualities Unlike In the Sexes.

"A man is man down to his thumbs
and woman is a woman down to her
little toes" writes DR.. Havellck Ellis
In his book "Men and Women" There
Is hardly measurable quality Of any
sort which ls not unlike In the two
sexes. Women even button their gar
ments ON the otbe- side from that cho.
sen by men and choose Sunday instead
Of Monday as their favOrlte day for
making way With themselves. So far
as laboratory tests go DIR. Ellis says
that women are unquestlonably su-
perior In general tactile sensibillty and
probably superior In the discrimination
Of tastes, with no advantage either

Women have better memories. read

COLORS IN CATTLE.
Rcd, White and Roam Fayorite Color
In ShorthOrns,

Amongst the nicetles of breeding
that have to be duly considered is the
question of color, says the Chicago
Livestock World. How difficult II Ii
at all times Of control may be gauged
by the number Of articles on the sub.
ject that appear from time TO time In
the agricultural press. An otherwise
excellent animal may be entirely
marred by an unorthodox mark OF
splash of color that, innocuous in IL
self. enormously detracts from ths
beasts value, and may, indeed, rem.
der II unsaleable as a pedigree ami.
NAL.
In whole-colored breeds there Is
not the same difficulty as In breeds
OF varied colors, In which fashion Is
liable to change capriciously; but
even In the former Il is not all plain
sailing.
In DevOus white is admissible about
the udder, but 1t must not extend for
ward beyond the navel, nor be found
on the outside of the flanks, and II
an Aberdeen-Angus shows broad
marks of white. as sometimes hap
pcns, 1t becomes useless as a repre-
sentative of the breed. The stately
Hereford has not always been the
'white-face" amongst our cattle;
fashion has made 1t such, for In times
gone by the breed included mottled
faces and grey body-color. and the
extent OF the markings defined today
by usage may in the future he modi-
fled.
hundred years ago the Ayrehires
were much more mottled than now
and even black markings We're allow
ed. In the Highland cattle there is q
great diversity of colors and black
once the favorite, seems to have given
way to yellowish hues
In Shorthorns-the red, white. and
roan-there Is abundant scope for
taste and fancy, but fashion, that
autocratic dame, now and again
roughly interferes
Just now Chill is asking for red
cattle. and Argentina for dark blood
reds or dark roans, and these ceun-
tries especially the latter, strongly
support the markets. other colors are
IN less request White. as n ground
work for roam, is not objected to- but
yellow reds. light roans, and red and
whites are by soUe breeders desig-
mated bad colors."
Yet two of the most noted Short
horns OF old would thus have been
banned, for Comet 1856 was light
roan and Bates Duchess 1st a red
and-whiteI Whites have never been
very popular. White must be a very
persistent color, or. in the face of
this prejudice. it would have been
bred out long ago.
Probably II is that the Shorthorns
have way-back strain of the wild
white cattle in their composition that
has a tendency to show itself at odd,
unexpected times. Not that Short
horns are the worse for it. for all our
breeds must strain back to the wild
cattle.

Both name ana tree are OF Persian
origin, but cuIne to us through Turkey.
The name means "blulsh" (see Skeat,
and indicates the color of the flower.
The tree Is said to have been brought
to Vienna by Busbecq late in the six
teenth century. The first mention Of
the name have seen in English Is in
Gerard, where it is given as "llllach or
lilach" and Is said to have been applied
by "the later phBsitlans" to Syrlnga
caerulea, or "blew pipe" by which ev-
identity Gerard means the lilac.
'These trees" he says, grow not
wild in England. but have seen them
growing in my garden In great plenty
There are, as Is well known, different
varieties, some white some different
shades Of purple.
The lilac, says some punster slyly,
Is named from smelling like ll-lyl

FRIvoLITY in ENGLAND.
A Claim That II Is What Really
Ikeeps .the Milton Sane.


Keeps the Nation Sane.
Which Is worse-to be too serious or
too frivolous? l have no doubt about
the matter myself, so far as individuals
are concerned, though all extremists
are bores The perpetually lively,
feather Drained, pleasure cra2ad crea-
ture Is almost, If not quite, as irritating
as the deadly serious Individual. But,
apropos Of the accusation recently
lodged against us that as Il nation we
are becoming too frivolous, one cannot
help saying that we are great deal
livelier than we were few years ago.
and for this relief assuredly we have
cause to be thankful.
In consequence we are accused Of
having become too frivolous. 1t seems
to me that we have just got matters
nicely balanced. This is an age when
we are prepared TO be cranks on the
slightest provocatlon. People crave for
missions, they wallow in philanthropy,
they pounce with avldity on new re
llgions, they will plunge into politics
or write attacks on women, society,
the degeneracy Of the age, or anything
else that gives them an opportunity Of
airing what they call their views. So
surely, II desipere In loco were not oc-
casionally to be permitted to us, It Is
fearful to think what we should be-
come. Our frivollty is the antldote to
the twentieth century disposition to
ward cranklness. 1t really keeps us
sane-London World.
