A Shot Prom RehfnL.

One of the most interesting features
Of the tragedy in 1859, in which King
Kamehameha ". shot his secretary,
Mr.. Nelson, arises from the manner IN
which the monarch fired his revolver
It Is said that both men were in q
room alone and were drinking beer
The king walked over to q mantel
above which was hung large looking
glass. He toyed 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 his shoulder and fired.

Chinese Porcelain.

Chinamen have been exporting their
porcelain 10 the west for at least q
thousand years and probably longer.
Medieval Europe could make nothing
like porcelain and therefore regarded
II as a magical product endowed with
uncanny powers. II was said, for In
stance, that a porcelain cup would
break If poison were poured into IL
Travellers declared that porcelain was
composed OF various substances. which,
after being tempered, were hidden In
the ground for ages before being fit for
use. Even SO erudite a man as Sir
Thomas Browne, writing In the later
seventeenth century, was mot thor
oughly resolved, concerning porcellane
or china dishes, that according to COM
mon belief they are made OF earth"
The secret Of the true Chinese porce-
lain was first discovered in Europe a
generation later by the German chem
ist Bottger. the inventor Of what Is
now known as Dresden china.

ST. NichOlaH OF MYra.

All that Is known with any certainty
of Nicholas Is the bare fact that he
lived In Asia Minor somewhere about
the beginning OF the fourth century.
He was bishop of Myra, Lycian sea
coast town, venerable, OF course, for
his piety and benevolence, and he was
revered In the east at least as early as
the sixth century. In the Greek church
he takes rank Immediately after the
five great fathers. and under the name
OF St Nicholas Of Myra he is esteemed
as patron saint Of by far the largest
body Of Orthodox Greeks, the Russian
empire. AS early as the year $50 JUS
tinian dedicated a church in CONSTANT
nOple to the renowned bishop. In the
west. where for a reason he is more
commonly known as st. Nicholas OF
Bari, he was acclimatized for good in
the eleventh century His vogue in the
north began with the twelfth, but eX-
tended SO rapidly that by the reforma-
ton he probably possessed in England
alone more churches and chapels dedl-
Gated In his honor than any other holy
persOnage.-CornhIll Magazine.

Qualities Unlike In the Sexes.

"a man Is man down TO his thumbs

little toes" writes DR.. Havelick Ellis
In his book Men and Women" There
is hardly n measurable quality OF any
sort which Is not unlike in the two
sexes. Women even button their gar
ments on the other side from that chO-
sen by men and choose Sunday instead
Of Monday as their favorite day for
making way with themselves. SO far
as laboratory tests go DR.. Ellis says
that women are unquestionably SUI
perior in general tactile sensibillty and
probably superior In the discrimination
Of tastes, with no advantage either
way in the case OF the other senses.
Women have better memories, read
more rapidly. bear pain better, recover
better from wounds and serious illness,
are less changed by old age and live

No Confederate Supreme Court.

ut is a curious fact" said New Or
leans man, that the Confederate con-
gress never created supreme court.
The matter was before the Richmond
congress. but no statute was ever
passed authorizing such tribunal.
1T was in n debate over this very
topic In the Confederate senate that the
personal encounter between Ben Hill
OF Georgia and William L. Yancey Of
Alabama occurred. The senate was in
executive session. The Georgia sena-
tor was speaking In favor Of the crea-
ton OF a court of last resort whose
powers should In n way be limited.
Yancey looked on this idea with dis
favor. and during the course Of Hllrs
remarks he interrupted with the insult
ing statement that Hill had given ut
terance 10 lie. No sooner had he used
the offensive word than Hill. picking
up an inkstand. hurled II with great
force at his defamer. The glass struck
Yancey over the eye inflicting a severe
wound, but doing him no permanent
injury. although stories were long cur
rent that the blow finally caused his
death. ."-WashingtO Post.
