All the world knows the remark Of
the governor of Mort. Carolina to the
governor Of South Carolina, Its a
long time between drinks" The true
history of this famous anecdote was
told by South Carolinian. 1t appears
that the phrase was first heard at a
political dinner when the governors
Of both North and South Carolina were
present. The first governor had deliv-
cred a fiery political speech. The stu
alton was intense when the turn came
for the governor Of South Carolina to
speak. 1t seemed that any word the
governor might say would complicate
the situation. Even should he keep 81
lent his opinion would seem clear. 1t
was at this critical moment that the
governor of the other Carolina rose
and, inspired by stroke Of genius, re-
marked, TITS long time between
drinks" The absolutely noncommit-
tai remark saved the situation.

the Inpecunto.. Turk.

Collecting money from Turkey is n
heartbreaking enterprise. A distin-
guished American once went there to
collect debt Of 100000 owing to an
English syndicate, which included two
members Of parliament and cabinet
minister. He expected to see the bust
ness through i'll two or three months.
But foreign ambassador undeceived
him. Say three or four months and
then you will be as far off from OBJ
tanning your money as you are today"
he remarked. Men had gone out there
to prosecute claims, he added, whose
hair had turned gray with the strain
to which they were subjected and who
had gone home thoroughly broken in
health, unable to obtain Turkish Ira
to show for years of fruitless labor.
One victim of Turkish duplicity and
procrastination died in lunatic asy-
lum. One Of the embassies had been
twenty-five years prosecuting claims
without realizing a cent.

a Robust Babe.

Sir John Richard Robinson in his
"Fifty Years of Fleet Street" tells Of
an amusing incident during t!.c visit Of
the Swat deputation from the Trans
vaal to England ut the close of 1891:
"The Swat braves Went to Windsor
and had an audience Of her majesty
Queen Victoria. They were very gra-
ciously received. One of their number
began to speak. and an interpreter fol-
lowed him phrase by phrase. We come,
o great MOTHER he said, TO bring to
you our babe. Take him, 0 mother, to
thy knees; fold him to thy breast Here
the queen, half frightened, exclaimed:
But where is the child? l don't see
him. Where is he?' Here, o MOTHER
said the Swat gravely, at the same
time bringing forward big black
about six feet high and weighing well
over 200 pounds He is here"

Diamonds ON Board Ship.

Millions of dollars worth of dia-
monds are imported into this country
every year In carrying packages Of
such tremendous value over seas ex-
raordinary precautions are taken. They
are immured in strong safes and so
carefully guarded that not an instance
has ever been recorded in which dia-
monds have been lost or stolen, though
a man could easily walk off with half
a million dollars worth of gems in his
waistcoat pockets were it not that it is
one of the most difficult undertakings
in the world to commit such theft or
even to find where the gems are stored
on shipboard.

FlOEEinE.

The Jewish rabbits had legend
which carries corporal punishment
back to the days of our first parents,
which is quantity reflected in that mod
ern schoolboy's play upon names, cad
am Seth Eve Cain Abel"
Of course there is, too, the warning
Of Solomon, "He that spareth the rod
hateth his son." or the old Egyptian
proverb, ''The back of lad is made
that he may hearken to him that beats
it," but if we must go on history alone
the earliest records belong to the Ro-
mans, who practiced flogging in sew
eral degrees Of severity.
There We're the ferula, fiat strip of
leather, comparatively mild persuad-
er; the scutica, harsher instrument
Of twisted parchment, and the fagel-
lum, a cruel scourge of leather thongs.

Dancing Birds.

Sailors visiting the island of Laysan,
in the Hawaiian group, are greatly
amused by the curious antics Of the
Laysan albatross, Or gony. These birds
sometimes perform in pairs kind of
dance, or, as the sailors call it, "cake-
walk" Two albatrosses approach each
other, nodding and making profound
bows, cross their bills, produce snap
ping and groaning sounds, rise on their
toes, puff out their breasts and finally
part with more nodding and bowling,
only to come together again and repeat
the performance. Occasionally three
engage at once in this singular amuse-
ment.

A man living at Queensbury not only
uses his coffin as a piece of household
furniture, but he has also a grave made
In the local churchyard headed by a
gravestone on which his name is set
out in conventional style. Underneath
is the line, "Not dead, but waiting"
One man at Tong, near Bradford,
kept his Sunday clothes in his coffin,
and another, who ate porridge at break
fast, used his coffin as a meal bin.
Some years ago Keighly man kept
butterfly specimens in his coffin.-Lon-
don Mail.

Mixed Types,

Some years ago the editor of down
east newspaper undertook to compli-
ment an eminent citizen as "a noble
old burgher, proudly loving his native
state,'' but the, neatly turned compli-
ment came from the compositors hands
"a nobby old burglar, prowling round
in q naked state" This was as per-
verse and shocking as the blunder in
the message Ernest Renan had occa-
sion to telegraph across the English
channel on the subject of a proposed
lecture by him in Westminster abbey
The subject as written by him was
'The Influence of Rome on the Forma-
ton Of Christianity" 1t was announc-
ed in England as "The Influence of
Rum on the Digestion of Humanityv'-

ToP WAGES ron BRIcKLArERs.
Beginning Next Wednesday, They Get 10
Cents an Hour-Deal with the bosses.

The highest wages ever paid to brick
layers in the United States, 70 cents an
hour, will 20 into effect here on Wednesday
by agreement between the bricklayers'
unions and the Mason Builders Assoca-
ton The agreement Affects more than
5000 bricklayers.
The bricklayers were able TO secure the
70 cents an hour rate owing to the agita-
ton TO eliminate from their yearly con
tract with the Mason Builders Association
the clause by which fireprooting material
can be installed only by mason builders
and cannot be sublet More than year
ago the international Brickayers' Union
at its annual convention Issued an order
that any contractor who paid union wages
and Conformed to union conditions could
install the freproofing. This order has
been ignored by the New York bricklayers,
and it is understood that the decision of
the employers to give the briCklayers 20
cents an hour, beginning with March l.,
was a return concession to the bricklayers.
Since the agreement was signed the
International Bricklayers' Union at ~
last convention in San Francisco reafinned
it's previous order. and the agitation for its
observance in New York was resumed.
The bricklayers' unions have since been
voting ON the question of obeyinG the In
ternatonal Union thus violating the trade
agreement and sacrificing the heaviest
wages they ever got or standing 10y the
agreement and running the chance of ex-
pulsion from the International Union.
The result will not be announced for day
or two. but it ia expected that the rank and
file will stand by the trade agreement.
