Had to Wait His Turn.

In the days of Gen. Sam. Houston, duei- ing was much more comimon than now.

After removing to ‘Texas Gen. Houston happened to give offense to a po itical op- ponent, who felt his honor disfigured to such ar extent that he sent a challenge to Houston. ‘The bearer of the challenge received courtly civilty. He handed the written challenge to Gen Honston, who read it and taking up his pen wrote sorme- thing across the back of the folded paper and placed it in a pigeon hole of his desk.

He then wnt on to entertain the bearer of the challenge with the pleasant conver- sation for which he was noted. After a time the man began to grow impatient, and remindiig the General of the chal- lenge, asked him if he was going to reply.

‘*Oh yes,’’ said Houston, ‘‘I am going to reply.’’

‘*We'l, ara you going to accept the chal- lenge of my friend?’

**Certainly I will accept it.’’

‘Will you fix the date for to-morrow?’

**No, not to-_acrrow.”’

‘*Next day”’

‘*No, not the next day either.’’

**Well, will you fix the date?’’

‘‘No, Lam not able to fix a date. You saw ine number your friend’s note; it is No. 49. There are forty-eight other blank- ed scoundreis ahead of your friend and I must take them inturn. As soonas I have killed them o*f | will return to your friend; but he will have to wait until hig turn comes.”’

The bearer of the challenge bowed bhim- but of course his friend’s turn never came and it is not probable that he was anxious for it to come,—Knoxville Journal,

that neither isin any draught likely to interfere with or expedite its combustion, Then the husband, wife and relatives sit round to wait and watch, If the hus- band’s candle burns out first. he and all his relatives walk out of the door and leave the wife in posssession of the house and all the chatcels.

They bow thrice before the altar, unfasten their scarfs, and leave the temple by opposite doors, thus having loosed the marriage tie.

Mound

Builders’ Corn,

A curious experiment was made this summer by Charles Graham, «a nursery- man of this country, and the result lies upon the desk before your correspondent as he writes. Last year,,Mr A. A, Grabam, of Mount Vernon, Ind.,° made a visit to the vicinity of Alton, lll, and called upon a friend,;who had just opened # mound builders’ burial mound. Upon the mound grow several large trees, among them an oak four feet in diameter, and thus the age of the*thound was establish- ed as considerable. In it were found the crumbling remains of bones, and, among other utensils, a large pot, containing a maize very much like our present com- mon red corn, Of this Mr. Graham secured several grains, and on returning home planted it. It grew, and the re- sult was that he produced a strain of corn which«is most likely the ancestor of the corn we pow cultivate.

In spite of having been in the grav» for certainty less than four hundred years, it grew very rapidly and prodnced a large, well-shaped ear upon a fairly tall stuik. The ear is well set, the srrains being somewhat smaller than any of the

Cheques for Seven Cents,

Of the many schemes employed by ad- vertisers to attract and retain the attention of the public, the one employed by a hab- erdasher, is certainly as novelas any con- ceived, says a Chicago paper. He got an

" elaborate envelope with a crest upon it and inclosed a short and well-worded note ask- ing the attention of the reader for two minutes to his notice of his goods, and ene closed also a cheque regularly signed, for seven cents, as the value of the time re- quested. ;

The advertisement was sent to Board of Trade men, bankers and the better class of

| business men throughout the city.

| ‘he haberdasher hardly thought that any one would take the trouble to cash the cheques, but some bright and kind-hearted wit conceived the idea of collectirg these cheques and using them for a worthy ob- ject. Accordingly the cheques were gradu- ally gathered in, all properly endorsed,and sent to the children’s fresh air fund, and

| aggtegated quite a comfortable sum.

While the advertiser was rather surpris- ed at the novel use to which his advertis- ing cheques were put, he is quite pleased to contribute thus Indirectly, as it were, to such a worthy cause.—Chisago Times Herald.

Effect of Fright on Lobsters,

Lobsters arenot warlike creatures, They do not mind boiling, but have an extraor- dinary terror of the smell of powder and the sound of big guns. Such, at least, was the statement ‘miade last night at the weekly meeting of, the Piscatorial Secicty in the Holborn Restaurant. 1t was affirm- | ed by one of the speakers that during big-

gun practice by coast artillery lobsters in

the neighborhood become so terrified that

their claws drop off from sheer fright. Other

kinds of fish, more alert in their. nrove-

ments, also become alarmed at the sound

of big guns and leave the locality of | the range in millions to take refuge in the deep sea.— London Telegram,

HUNGARY'S MILLENNIUM.

A Celebration to Last Throughout arn En- tire Year,

Hungary is preparing to celebrate its millennium as a State, the celebration to ast from January 1, 1896, to December 31 of the same year. This millennial year will be filled with commemorations of events of interest in the long history of the Magyar realm, which, for many hun dreds of years, was the bulwark of West- ern Europe against the barbarism of the Kast. The year’s celebration will be divid- ed into three parts, each commemorating an epoch in the history of Hungary. The celebration proper will open with a com- bined session of both houses of. parlia- ment in the new hall, now nearly com- pleted, at a cost of 16,000,900 florins, -and this grand occasion will be marked by unusual pomp and eeremonies. Next will come the opening of the Pantheon at the end of Andrassy street, Buda-Pesth, when hundreds of busts and statues ef Hun- gary’s heroes and eminent men and women of the last thousand years will be placed in Hungary’s Valhalla. This will be followed by the inauguration of the new Museum of Art and History, built at a cost of 3,600,000 florins, the laying of the corner stones of two new bridges to span the Danube at Buda-Pesth, and the dedication of three other great public buildings, the Paiace of Justice, the Ex- hibition Hall and the Museum of Artistic Hand Work.

Still further to indicate the beginning of a New era in the spring two sections of the older part of the city will be remodel- ed on bygienic principles, and 500 new public schools throughout the country will be opened. The exhibition buildings in themselves will constitute an attraction of no ordinary kind, as in the different buildings to house the historical ¢ollee- tions wil! be illustrated all the different styles of architecture that have character- ized the 1,000 years of Hungary’s exist- ence as a State. In addition,in the ethito- graphic village will be presented all the dwellings, types, characteristics, ete , of Hungary's conglomerate of nationalities, together with schools, police courts, churches, fairs and kirmesses, the whole forming a celebration of unusual interest to the scholar, the historian and ethno- graphist. Such an exhibition will also be of great significance, not only to Hungary, but to Europe. It will indicate, among other things, the growing sense of nation- ality in this great Magyar State, and the entrance upon a new erain which educa- tion and civilization, humanity and pro- gress will represent the goais and a new order of events.—Interior Chicago,

A Young Girl’s Library.

Thomas Wentworth Higginson in an aritcle in November Ladies’ Home Jour- nal, prints a list of one hundred books, by American authors. which he regards as the best works for young girls of fifteen. He considers the attractive and interesting features of books in making up his list,as he hol¢s that literary instruction should be presented in its most palatable and in- viting form to youth, In naming the best ten hooks for young girls Mr. Higginson says: At the head of all available books for American girls—whether tocreate the love of reading or to gratify it—miust be placed, of course, Miss Alcott’s ‘‘ Little Women.’’ The your, girls themselves will place it. there, if:we do not; and there is really no objection to be made to this prominence, beyond some occasional instances of slang or slovenly expression. With it may be classed, though perhaps written for some- what younger readers, Miss Jane Andrews’ immortal ‘‘The Seven Little Sisters Who Live on the Round Ball that Floats in the Air,’’ a book which has for the firet time brought it home to multitudes of young poople that they are the citizens not mere- ly of a natioa but of a planet. We may then pass to four classic works, by classic American authors, Hawthorne’s ‘ Won- der look,’’? Longfellow's ‘‘ Evangeline,’’ Lowell's “Vision of Sir Launfal’’ and Whittier’s ‘‘Snow-Bound.’’ With a little less sense of perfect security we may add Irving’s ‘‘sSketch Book,’’ Cooper's ‘‘ Last of the Mohicans,’ and. Mrs. Stowe’s *‘Unele “‘om’s Cabin;’’ the last two hav ing this cspecial. value, - that they intro- duce! two new races into literature and won at once an international fame. This makes ‘nine cf the first ten, and Dr. Hale’s ‘Ten Times One is Ten”’ seems al- most providential as to the fitness of its title, and may rightfully find its way in.

A Camera’s Lies,

Photographers, especially amateur photogravhers, will tell you-that the

camera cannot lie. This only proves that photographers, especially amateur photo- graphers, can; for the dry plate can fib as badiy as the canvas on occasion, and is actually more pernicious because of its undeserved reputation of veracity. Who would belicve a ghost story on the unco:- roborated evidence of a painter's picture? Yeta photograph of a house at Halesowen, taken a few day ago, included the likeness of the wealthy lady who vacated it six months back. Asshe vacated it for the churehyard, the plate apprepriately enough exhibited her dressed in a shreud; and so convincing was this counterfeit present- ment that « regular ghost scare broke a:rt, and s veral women averred that they saw the cead ladv at the window. On Satur- day it was discovered that it was all due to somag flaw in the photosgraphia appar- atus, just as in a very ~imilar case at Ips- wich some time ago. There the view re-

bust, features, hair and all. They actually dragged the river to seu what they could find, and found nothing. Curiously ehough, a woman was really drowned at the very spot a few weeks later; so that Ipswich photography seegns to be as previ ous as Halesowen is retrospective.—Pall Mall Gazette.

A Talking People.

As Judge Luston, of Tennessee, was ence going through Texas he met an old Texan who described at length the people that had settled in his neighborhood, a Jarge number of them having come from Kentucky. ‘‘And there’s them Kain- tuckians,’’ said he. ‘‘They’re the speak- in’est people I ever sec in my life, fer a fact. Why, whenever we hey a shootin’ match, a camp-meetin,’ a weddin’ or a fun’ral, you can jest bet that them Kain- tuckians will be thar,and afore you knows it they’ll he offerin’ resolutions and a- makin’ speeches tell you cain’t rest. ‘To tell the truth, Jedge, they cain’t cnt a4 watermelon withont a speech.''—Cen-
