h0boes Find Lodging

Tuesday morning two hoboes,
having decided to find a warn
place, entered room | at the
Commercial Hotel and establish
ed them selves therein. The
proprietor, Mr.. Dubose, called
and intimated that he was not
running a charity concern, and
named the price for which he
would allow them to remain.
Thereupon these veterans of the
road ordered the proprietor out
Of the room. telling him that
they had paid for their lodging
and had no intention of being
dispossessed. The proprietor
looked over his register and as
sured himself they had done
nothing of the sort. He return
ed, therefore. in a rather bellicosc
frame of mind armed with a
heavy ebony cane. The intrud-
ers rushed at him and he landed
a blow upon the head of the
foremost which served to check
the onslaught. He then held
them at bay while call was put
in for the sheriff. Before the
sheriff arrived, however, the
belligerent guests had barricad,
ed themselves in the room, the
door of which had to be smashed
before the arrests could be made
Mr.. Stephens found them lodg
ings at the county's expense
The ebony cane is in q bad stat,
of repair.

The Hand Kiss.

The kiss of the hand is undoubtedly ancient and therefore is not deriveI from that of the lips. but probably the converse k trUr. The hand kiss ii loosely asserted to be developed from servile obeisances in which the earth, the foot and the garments were kiss ed. the hand and cheek succeeding in order of time and approach to equality of rank. But it k doubtful if that was the actual order and il k certain that at the time when hand kissing began there were less numerous grada- lions of rank than at later stage.
 Kissing of the hands between men is mentioned in the Old Testament; also by Homer, Pliny and Lucian. The kiss was applied reverentially to sacred objects, such as statues of the gods, as is shown by ancient works of art, and also among numerous etymolOgies by that of the Latin word "adoro." and it was also mctaphcrically applied by the inferior or worshiper kissing his OWL hand and throwing the salute to the superior CT statue.

Tk> Stcrv cf q Statue.

There was set up ia tGr seventeenth century at Yarmouth. Isle of Wight, what is probably the most curious piece Gf art cXtHnt, erected to the memory of Sir Robert Holmes. a Brit is! naval officer of that periCd. The CCG circumstance is that the statue was not origiIalIy designed for Holmes at all. but fer a very different pcrs, 3. ,l: ,. no other, indeed. than Louis XIV. Of .TS"cG. This %>&tuc. finished a.; to the figure, but in the rough as to the head, was being taken to France on an Italian vessel when it was captured by a British man-of-war commanded by Holmes. Upon perceiying the un- finished condition of the statue Holmes, with grim humor, compelled the artist, who had accompanied his work, to chisel his (HolmesO head on the kings body. And so it stands to- day. Holmes was eventually made governor of the Isle of Wight, which fact accounts for the location of this mongrel bit of artistry.

Antiquity of the Water Pump.

The water pump of today Is but an improvement on a Grecian invention which first came into use during the reign of Ptolemies Philadelphos and Energetes. 2S3 to 221 B. C. The name, which is very similar in all languages, is derived from the Greek word penn DO. to send or throw. The most an- cient description we have of q water pump is by Hero of Alexandria. There is no authentic account of the general use of the pump in Germany previous to the beginning of the sixteenth cen tury. At about that time the endless chain and bucket works for raising water from mines began to be replaced by pumps. In the seventeenth century rotating pumps, like the Pappenham engine, with two pistons, and the Prince Rupert. with one, were first used. Pumps with plunGer pistons were invented by Morland, an Eng lishman. in 1G74 and the double acting pump by De la Hire, the French acade- mician.

The Lottery Mania.

The first lottery on record in Eng land was drawn in LondCn in 1569, the proceeds being devoted to public purposes. Four hundred thousand lots were drawn for the prizes of cash and silver plate, and for four mouths nOth- ing else was thought or talked of, and the delight of the winners and the despair of the unfortunatcs seemed equally exaggerated. A perfect epi- demic of lotteries followed, there be ing no laws upon the subject. and soon there were lottery tailors. lottery tea merchants. lottery barbers (who with each shave at threepence gave ticket that might draw a ten pound prizel, lottery shOeblacks, lottery eating houses where for siXpence plate of meat and the chance of drawing 60 guineas were given, and so on down to a sausage stall in narrow alley. where it was written that he who bought a farthing's worth of sausage might realize a capital of , shillings.
