Nan Patterson, after three
jury trials in court, charged
with the killing of Young, has
been discharged on her own re-
conizance, and will not, in all
probability, be tried again on
that charge. Just who killed
Young is hid in the womb of
time, and may never be made
known until the great day when
all secrets will be made known,
but if Nan really did kill Young
she certainly did the world a
good act by removing a monster,
not that We advocate the taking
Of the law into her own hands
to right a great wrong, but
there was much in the life of
Young that demanded radical
treatment, and none so juctifia-
BILE as Nan Patterson in the ad
ministration of the punishment
for his great crimes against So
ciety, and as it is a doubtful
question whether he fell bya
own hands or by anothers, it IS
right that Nan should have the
benefit of the doubt, and there
fore her release was justifiable.

ODDITIES OF INVENTION.

Prof. Baiardi, of Turin, has sue
ceeded in perfecting his invention Of
photographing the eye and advo-
Gates its practical use for diagnosis of
diseases of that organ.
A French engineer named Otto has
invented an apparatus for purifying
drinking water at home; its capacity is
60 gallons an hour, and its cost about
the same as that of an electric incan-
descent light. Ozone is generated,
which kills all germs in the water.
In some parts of the west where
irrigation is much depended upon, "a
current motor" is in use which, by
an ingenious use of levers and iron
blades, makes the water of flowing
streams pump itself. The pressure oi
the current causes the blade to swing
backward and forward, and the force
thus exerted is communicated to ma.
chinery which runs pump.
The recent classification at the Brit
ish patent office shows that cooking is
the popular subject of invention, hav
ing been the subject of 3,575 British
patents in 4S years, or an average OF
73 year. Umbrellas brought ou

LIGHTS IN LITERATURE.

The first volume of the unpublished
writings of the late Theodore Mommsen
has been prepared for publication by
Prof. Otto Hcrsenheld, the literary ex-
ecutor Of the deceased historian.
Rider Haggard is best known in
America as a writer of startling roman
ces, but in his own country he is recog-
nized as an earnest student Of the great
problem of the poor. For years the au-
thor has been laboring for the develop
ment Of the agricultural side Of English
life as means of relieving the congest-
ed conditions of large cities.
Anthony Hope, the British novelist
and playwright, was educated for the
law, but says himself in his droll way
that he failed to make living at his
profession and had to turn to writing in
self-defense. He declares that in all his
life of 42 years there has not come one
incident that is worth telling-he has
just lived ''the average life of an Eng
lish gentleman"
1t will probably seem strange to some
that John Hay in his later life was in
clined to be rather ashamed of Little
Breeches" and Jim Bludso," the two of
his poems that have always been the
most widely quoted. Similarly James
Russell Lowell was rather ashamed in
his declining years of the "Bigelow Pa
pers," which many regard as his most
original and effective work, and Minis
ter Phelps never liked to be quoted as
the author of that immortal poem about
Essex Junction.
William Dean Howells has some en-
eeuraging words to say to young as
pirants for literary honors. There is
room for good story of any kind" he
said, recently. Although an editor
governs his judgment by what his read
ers have liked before, often rejecting
something they would like much better,
no good thing in a story ever remains
unpublished. Some one will read it, feel.
its truth and print it if it is true" But
he goes on with a word of advice. 81 do
not believe anyone can write a novel,
with rare exceptions, until he has lived
at least S5 years in experience of the
world"

THE SOUTHERN BARBECUE.
Preparation of the Feast as Describes
by One Who Has Had
Experience.

The way we fix for barbecue is TO
begin to get ready the day befo'. The
meat is roastin' all night, says a
writer in Outing. We have plenty OF
different kinds-shote, calf, kid and
Soat-and we roast 'em whole. a
trench is dug and oak bark Goals put
in. Then sticks are lai3 across for the
shote and other creatures to rest on.
Some white man has this in charge.
but the niggers keep the fires goin
an do the basting and the rough
work. The next day everybody comes.
There's detail to do the carving, and
we all step up and get what we want
and go and set down by some tree to
eat it. Of course, there's potatoes and
cornmeal. light-bread and pickles and
cake, and there's ice cream, and there's
pure, genuine coffee that the old ladies
make in abundance. Then there's fried
chicken if anyone is fastidious enough
to want it. and some enterprising fellow
is likely to bring a dozen bottles of
beer and invite his special friends out
to his buggy to drink it. But the
best thing to my thinkin' is the shote.
A man hasn't got any part in the resur.
rection until he's eaten barbecued shote.

TRIALS OF A GEOLoGIST,
His Precious Specimens Surrepti-
tiously Disposed Of by Con-
scienceless Carrier.

Prof. w. c. Hayes, of the geological
survey, was talking in Washington
about the trials of biologists, states the
Buffalo Enquirer.
Did you ever hear of the geologist
in New Hampshire?" he asked. well,
there was a geologist who spent long
hot summer day in Croydon gathering
specimens of the very odd New Hamp-
shire rock formation to be found there,
and late in the afternoon he hired
boy to carry the heavy bag back to
Newport for him. The boy exhibited
20 a friend that night a half-dollar and
the friend said enviously:
Where did you get that?'
" 4 made it, was the answer.
"'How did you make it?'
"'You know that there man that
was working all day with little
hammer hereabouts, chipping off pieces
of rock and putting them into leather
bag"
"'Yes.'
"Well, he asked me to carry his
bag for him to the Newport hotel, and
he gave me so cents for the job
We'll, it was worth it. Must have
been pretty heavy, carryin' all them
rocks four miles
DO you think 1 carried them rocks
all the way?' he said. No, sir. /
emptied the bag before startin' and
just filled it outside the hotel.'"

oLD-WoRLD ODDITIES.

A new and unwelcome visitor has
been recognized in England. He is
the Surinam cockroach, and is de-
structive to greenhouse plants. The
insects are believed to have been in
troduced in consignment of orchids.
The town of Thurso, Scotland,
comes to the front with a family rec
ord which will not be beaten easily
John Gibson, 81 years old, still follows
his duties as superintendent of some
f1agstone quarries. Among the work
men he has seven sons, six SonS-in-
law, 29 grandsons, four grandsons-in-
law and two great-grandsons. Forty
nine members of one family, all con-
nected with the same trade, employed
in the same works, and living in the
same district, is something decidedly
out of the common.
Baron Rothschild, head of the
French branch of the family, recently
received curious legacy. This was
the fortune of an ancient beggar
named Abraham Fidler, who died in a
garret at Nice, and was found to pos
sess 1,250,000 francs. He bequeathed
it to the other millionaire, on the plea
that money must seek money"
Baron Rothschild was not of the opin-
ion, in this case at any rate, and he
proceeded to hunt up the lamented
tidler's relations, three of whom
were found at Odessa and fourth at
Brooklyn. The legatee divided the
million and quarter among them.
An Edinburgh minister lately
rolled 1000 feet down the sleeps of
Ben Nevis, and lives to tell the tale.
Admiral Sir Novel; Salmon was clean
shot through at Lucknow, and re-
turned as dead, but came up smiling
soon afterward. Similar was Lord
Wolseley's experience in the Crimea
but though pretty well riddled with
shot and shell and deprived of the
sight of all eye, he was able soon after
to enjoy laugh over his own obitu-
airy. Not long ago there was a girl
up on trial i'll a London police court
who had twice attempted to commit
suicide, but two trains had passed
over her and left her unscathed.
