An amusing scene was witnessed one
day last summer In a country town.
An old lady, with her coachman, drove
up in large brake and stopped oppo-
site huge red brick building.
Her ring was answered by an Official
In uniform.
Il am come" she began, 'to take the
inmates for picnic in the green fields
and fowery meadows. It's beautiful
day, and 1t will do them a world Of
good, cooped up as they are In this
building day after day"
The official gasped for breath. Never
In all his long experience had he heard
such a cool request He simply gazed
at her in establishment
'They can't come, madam" was all

Eyes, they can. Let them all come
every one of them"
I'VE never let them out" he added
In hoarse whisper.
"Oh, yes, you do! met two Of the
dear old men just now in their long
smock frocks."
A whole flood of light suddenly burst
upon the astonished attendant. He
saw everything clearly now.

The late speaker of the national house
Of representatives, David B. Hender-
son, spent most of his life on the baN-
tlefield and in congress, but a portion
Of 1t was devoted to a willingness to
practice law. His early professional
experiences were not materially dis
ferent from those OF most young law
yers. Finally he was retained In an
estate case which involved large inter
ests. The future speaker was mighty
hard up, and he was seriously thinking
Of asking the heirs to pay hts bill,
which he had never rendered. He was
meditating whether to charge them
5000 or $500 when one ~ the heirs,
representing them all, stepped briskly
into his Office and, taking out roll OF
five hundred dollar bills, said, 'Mr.
Henderson, want to pay your BILL"
and commenced laying down these five
hundred dollar bills until he had 81, 500
before the astonished young lawyer.
Looking up at Mr.. Henderson the heir
said, 'Is that enough?" And the law
yer. with that self possession which
subsequently made him famous, calm
ly said, "Peel off another one and we
will call 1t square. "-Harper's Weekly.

LIGHTHOUSES.


The First of Them Was One of the
Worlds Seven Wonders.
The first lighthouse of which there Is
any record in history was built by
Ptolemy Philadelphus about 300 B. G.
1t was a tower ON which wood fires
were kept blazing at night. 1t was
built on Pharos, a small island in the
bay Of Alexandria, and was one of the
seven wonders of the world 1t Is an
interesting fact that the modern French
and Spanish names for lighthouse
one being phare, the other faro-still
preserve the memory of the island
where the first attempt at seacoast H.
Elimination was located. The ruined
tower In Dover castle, England, erect
ed about A. d. A, Is claimed by some
authorities to have been built for a
lighthouse, upon which an enormous
wood fire was kept burning.
The lighthouse on the southern end
Of the island Of Conanicut, at the
mouth of Narragansett bay, is said to
be the oldest In the United States. The
present btEuCturc ~ comparatively
modern, but the first one was erected
in 1850, and for nearly 100 years pre-
vious a watchtower, with a beacon
fire, had existed at the same point.
The lighthouse bears the odd name
of Beaver Tail. The southern portion
Of Conanicut island is shaped something
like a beaver, with its tail pointing
southwark, and In early times it was
known by that name, the two extremi-
ties being called head and tail

The nutmeg is the kernel of the fruit
of several species of trees growing wild
In Asia, Africa and America. The cul-
tivated nutmeg tree is from fifty to
seventy feet high and produces fruit
for sixty years. The fruit Is Of the
size and appearance of roundish pear,
yellow in color. The fieshy part OF the
fruit Is rather hard and resembles
candied citron. Within is the nut, en-
veloped In a curious yellowish red aril
known to US as mace. To prepare the
seeds for use they are dried In mod
crate heat for about two months. Then
the shells are broken and the nutmegs
picked out and assorted, the inferior
ones being reserved for the oil press.
AS the essential oil Of nutmeg brings
a high price, dishonest growers often
steep the nutmegs in hot water to ex-
tract the oil from them. They are
then coated with lime and sent Into
the channels Of commerce. Such nut
megs are worthless, their aroma and
pungency having disappeared, these
qualities being due exclusively to the
oil. II on inserting pin no oil rushes
out to the surface, the nutmeg is, to
all intents and purposes, a wooden nut

The picturesque, but most painful,
punishment known as the ''pillory" has
land. A man was made to stand in a
frame on platform, probably with
his head and hands fastened through
holes in pieces Of wood that were then
padlocked to keep them firm, and thus
to remain at stated periods while the
crowd gaped at or even pelted him.
The last time known that man was
pilloried was when Peter James Bossy
was punished for perjury, June %.
