Their Ab.ence Explained.

During an acrimonious debate ip the house shortly before the civil war MT. Potter of Wisconsin made some very sharp strictures on MT. Pryor of Vir- ginia. The result was a challenge from Pryor to fight a duel, which Potter promptly accepted, naming as terms bowie knives at five 'paces; terms which he we'll knew Pryor would not dare to accept, as he was 8 small man, while Potter was a large, powerful man and familiar with the use os the bowie knife. Pryor declined OF the ground that the proposed terms were beneath the dignity of a gentleman to accept, and so the matter ended. But on the day following the challenge, while the result was still unknown, both Potter and Pryor were absent during roll call, and when Potter's name was called a Quaker member rose and in mild voice said, "Mr. Speaker, I am informed that the gen tleman from Wisconsin had Prior en- gagement." And when Pryor's name was called a moment later he rose again, saying, "Mr. Speaker, I hear that the gentleman from Virginia has gone to be as clay in the hands o: the Potter"

CandleIfght.

Hail, candlelight, without disparage- ment to the sun or moon, the kindliest luminary of the three, if we may not style thee radiant deputy, mild viceroy of the moon! We love to read, talk, sit silent, eat, drink, sleep by candlelight. They are everybody's sul and moon. This is our peculiar and household planet. By the midnight taper the writer digests his medita tions. By the same light we must approach to their perusal if we would catch the flame, the odor-- Night and silence call out the starry fancies. Milton's Morning Hymn In Paradise" we would hold a good wager, was penned at mid night, and Taylor's rich description of a sunrise smells decidedly of the taper. Even now a loftier speculation than we have attempted courts our endeavors. We would indite something about the solar system. Betty, bring ehe can Lamb.

A Uaeleaa Model.

An English manufacturer sf pottery is the subject of joke told in the Liverpool Post. W-lle on a continental tour he purchased a Sevres vase for some hundreds of pounds and brought it home most carefully. Thinking that the foreman of his works might gather hint from the design he called that gentleman in and showed him the treas ure. "How do you like ?" he asked. The foreman took the vase in his hand, turned it over and returned it, with the brief reply, "I don't think can learn much from it" "Why not?" asked the manufacturer. 'I don't like telling you, sir" Come. Out with it.' Well, designed that vase myself. It is foreign imitation of our own work and is worth f5 at the outside''

 work done by experiment stations. Rotation of crops Is a. great benefit. It was found by French farmers who grow sugar beets. that by constant cultivation on the same land the sugar content fell from g per cent. to IA. No amount of fertilization would re- store this. But when a crop of wheat had been grown on the land. the sugar content of the beetS rose to it's normal. So on Long Island they grow wheat to bring up the crop of potatoes. Twenty years ago the crop was 12O bushels to the acre; now $50 to 400 bushels are raised.-The value of the has increased. MT.

There is a shivery, shaky legend among the people who live along the Hudson river which is to the effect that that stream is the everlasting boating waters of a specter who is personifed as Ramhout Van Dam. Away back in colonial times Ramhout and his friends were drinking until late at night. Finally this man Ram bout started for home, some distance up the river, in his boat. swearing that he would row the distance if it took ga month of Sundays" Ramhout never reached home, and the superstitious people say that he has been condemn ed to row till judgment day.
