The Old EnuIish Prize Rino.

In the latter days OF the English
prize ring innumerable expedients had
to be devised to bring off fight A
favorite plan was to pitch the ring on
the borders Of two counties. so that
the question of magisterial jurisdiction
might be rendered difficult. Another
plan was to charter q steamboat and
proceed down the Thames to some
lonely police forsaken spot in the
marshes of Essex. For the memorable
contest between Sayers and Heenan in
1860 special train was run from Lon
don bridge to a secret destination.
But the passengers. who comprised
members of parliament. peers. pick
pockets. pugilists. clergy and. it is
said. few bishops. cheerfully took
tickets simply marked excursion"
They presently found themselves near
Marlborough. in Surrey. where the
light occurred.-London Chronicle.

kniqhted Actors.

1t Is an odd fact that of the English
actors knighted all but one had first
to legalize the names under which they
had won fame. The question arose
with the first proposition to confer
knighthood Oh a gypsy. 1t would be
absurd so to honor one John Henry
Brodribb. Yet legally no such person
as Henry Irving" existed. No such
obstacle had to be overcome when, on
the occasion of Victorias diamond
jubilee. Squire Bancroft knelt before
his queen and arose sir squire. How
ever. the three actors knighted by
King Edward bore cognomens of their
own invention. Sir Charles Wyndham
was born Culverwell. and Sir John

Democrats Feel ReSentful

The east side Democrats of Stevens
county are up in arms against the Col
vile bunch. They feel that they have
been handed a squeezed lemon, and it
is the general feeling with them that
Republican candidates will be strongly
supported. 1t has long been the custom
of the Colyillites to ignore the rights Of
their east side supporters, and they have
at last concluded to revolt and show
them where to head in. There is fire in
this smoke.

The singular drying effect which &C.
ours when stretch Ut wet sand Is
pressed by the foot is due entirely 70
an alteration in the pilins. of the sand
grains. Normally the grains are close
together, but abnormal piling Is
brought about by pressure Of the foot.

grains being enlarged and the water
