tumorous department. The Anticipated Interruption. V F. M. Bradley, the noted superintendent of Sons of Temperance, was talking ^ at a local hotel about temperance orators. "The temperance orator of today," he said. "Is always sure of a respectful f hearing. In the past it was not so. At a the beginning of the temperance move- f, ment drinking men came to our meetings for no other purpose than to in- j( tvrrupt and confuse. The orator had to he very careful in ltis remarks. He n had to look out lest he give his hearers an opening for some opportune but ribald Interruption." Mr. Bradley gave a loud laugh.

The audiences were always numerous, but they interrupted p horribly. In the end an ex-prize fighter was hired to sit every night in the obstreperous gallery and keep order ^ there. d "Well, one night the orator contrasted ^ the clean content ??f home life with the . squalor of drunkenness. He spoke t, beautifully and at his climax he cried, in ringing impassioned tones: " 'What do we want when we return r from our daily toil? What do we desire eo ease our burdens, to gladden our a hearts, to bring smiles to our faces and ^ song to our lips?' "Here the orator paused for effect ^ and the conscientious prize-fighter tip- ^ toed hurriedly to the front of the gallery, shook his finger at his unruly charges, and said in a threatening stage s whisper: p " 'Mind, the first feller among ye who fi says "Beer!"?out he goes!'"?Washington Star. $ A Prevented Combat. n A scene that was more than farcical e occurred in the house of commons last v sessions. Two of the most respectable ^ members of the house were seen with their coats off and with a staid old po- c liceman standing between them. F The two had been downstairs to wash 7 their hands, and by some mischance c had changed coats. They went into v the house together. One of them, put- n ting his hand into his coat pocket, pull- n cd out an old briar pipe of very strong d llavor. It was not his. He looked at J the coat, also that of his neighbor, and, p turning to his friend, said: e "Excuse me. but I think you have put T on my coat." h "I beg your pardon; I have done ii nothing of the kind." a "I think," replied the other parlia- p mentarian, "this is your pipe; and if > you put your hand into the right hand J pocket of the coat you are wearing you T will find a cigar case." J "Dear me!" was the reply, "you cer- h tainly are right. What shall we do?" o "We cannot change in the house." d observed the first member. "Let us go C into the division lobby." a Here is where the policeman came in. v Seeing the two facing one another, and r and at the same time taking off their fl coats, the policeman feared the worst. C He rushed up and placing a hand on d the shoulder of each said: "Gentlemen! e Gentlemen! Not here, please!"?M.

Rev. and Mrs. W. L. C. Killian. He returned Wednesday night. Mr. Killian told the re- ' "orter of an attempted suicide nt Grover Tuesday which caused no little excitement. Miss Bell Nichols, a young i white woman about 20 years of age, a ' sister of Mr. Frank Nichols, a business man of Grover, was the principal. Recently she has been suffering from 1 mental abberation due to a nervous breakdown and had been under the care of physicians for two or three months. She returned recently to her father's home near Grover. and seemed to be much better. Yesterday morning she borrowed a pocket knife from her father and said that she wanted to trim her finger nails. She was apparently In her right mind and her father did not hesitate to let her have it. It was only a short time after this that she disappeared from the house. This was Tuesday morning. A searching party, consisting of about thirty-five people, was organized and a systematic search was begun. Late in the afternoon the unfortunate young woman was found wandering about in a patch <>f woods near the town, apparently crazy. She was in her stocking feet and had cut her left breast open, stabbed herself near the heart and had slashed her ' throat in several places. THE PEERAGE. Curious Points About the Nobility of Great Britain. It will doubtless be news to the majority of people that it is within the power of the British parliament to deprive a peer of his peerage. This would only be done, however, on grounds of public policy, and such a proceeding is naturally of a very exceptional character. As a matter of fact, there is only one instance to be found on record of a deprivation of this kind. In the reign of Edward IV. George Neville, duke of Bedford, was stripped of his title and dignity on the grounds of poverty, and he died a commoner in 1483. The existing dukedom of Bedford was not created until more than a couple of centuries later. The many people who of late years have brought forward claims to titles generally regarded as extinct and the lands which go with them may take courage from the fact that peerages die hard. In the Hastings case, for instance, the peerage was claimed and the title thereto established in 1841 after remaining unclaimed 450 years, while in 1839 the Camoys title was successfully claimed after the peerage had been in abeyance for 420 years. There are at the present day five de- , grees of peerage?namely, duke, marquis, earl, viscount and baron?al though for nearly 300 years from the time of the Conqueror to the reign of Edward III. there were only two, earl : and baron. The latter degree Is the most ancient, dating from the conquest, while it is a singular fact that j no new degree of peerage has been in- ' troduced since the reign of Henry VI., ( who created the title of viscount in 1440. I Regarding the marriage of peers, there are one or t^'o points which may . be interesting. When a peer marries ; a commoner, the latter becomes a peer- ! ess and fully entitled to the privileges of peerage other than the right to sit ] in pailiament. Furthermore, she re- 1 mains noble, notwithstanding the death of her husband. If, however, during j her widowhood she marries a common- i er then she ceases to be a peeress. On the other hand, a peeress in her own right who is married to a commoner ' still remains a peeress, but does not impart her nobility to her husband. A well known example of this law, was furnished by tlie marriage | of Baroness BurdHt-Coutts to William < Ashmead Bartlett, who simply adopted ] the name of Mr. Rurdett-Coutts. ] Much has been written at one time 1 or another concerning the rights, du- 1 ties and privileges of peerage. Here ' are one or two points, however, which ] are not common knowledge. An Eng- 1 lish peer has the right to a summons ^ in parliament, but he is not permitted < to sit in tlie nousc until lie is nveniy i one years of age. Neither can a peer ] ilo so who is an undischarged hank- J rupt.?St. Louis Post-Dispatch. j .t- All the soldiers in the army of Ar- t ?entina are forced to play football.

Redditch Craftsmen Inherit Dexterity Which Makes Them Best Workmen. The expert needle manufacturers of Redd itch, England, where it is said nore than 2,000,000,000 needles are produced each year, have a dexterity In their delicate trade which the manjfacturers believe is transmitted from father to son. Nearly one-half of Redlltch's 13,500 inhabitants are connected directly or indirectly with the neeRe industry, and the making of the variety of small steel tempered and pointed products has been the town's ?hief source of income for nearly 500 rears. Many of the so-called "needle factories," of which there are fortytwo in the town directory, have apparently little to do with needles of [lomestic uses. Under the broad description of needle making is included the manufacture of fishhooks and ather pointed tempered steel products which have been associated for centuries with needle manufacturing. The Redditch needle makers take a deep pride in their old establishment and have made thorough historical research into the origin of their industry which has been made a foundation for the claim that the art of needle making was first taught the inhabitants by the monks of Cistercian Abbey of Bordesley, which stood on the outskirts of the present town. Since the religious house was dissolved in 1538 this claim, if proved, would give the needle makers an antiquity of nearly 400 years. Since the end of the eighteenth century the hulk of the English needle making industry has been concentrated in the town. There are no peculiarities of climate In Redditch that are not common to other parts of England, but the necessity for some handling of the bright polished needles would make the trade difficult to carry on in any climate having a high summer temperature, and the Redditch manufacturers experience considerable trouble from rust, arising from handling their needles when the temperature is unusually high. Many workers have to be rejected because they have habitually moist hands, but it seems probable that the conditions of the trade tend to produce workers In certain families having suitable hands. In the early days of the industry the work was done in the houses of the craftsmen, who drew their materials from the "masters," who marketed the finished product. This practice was continued until toward the middle of the nineteenth century, when the gradual application of more elaborate tools and machinery to the trade, and the consequent need of more capital, cause the establishment of factories of the modern type. About this time a considerable migration of needlemakers into Redditch took place from the village of Long Crendon, Buckinghamshire, where the manufacture of needles had been long practiced; these workers no doubt brought with them practices that had been previously unknown In Redditch. The largest factory is estimafed to produce needles to the value of $292.000 per annum; all other factories do not aggregate probably more than $584,000 per annum. These figures are, however, quite conjectural, us there are no published returns from which they can be ascertained. The needle industry extends over a group of villages spreading over an area of about seven by three miles. The headquarters of the principal firms are, however, situated in Redditch. The wages of the needle workers are relatively high, the work generally needing considerable intelligence and neat methodical habits. A large proportion of women is employed, the light and clean character of the work being well suited to their special capabilities. The workers are well hou.^ ed, well clothed, apd generally thrifty' and self-respecting. The trade is of a staple character, insuring regularity of employment and wages. Most of the work Is done by "the piece." The modern factories are spacious and well ventilated, warmed, and lighted. The usual hours of work are fifty per week. ^Plant^VoodC? 7 Garden Seeds V FOR SUPERIOR VEGETABLES & FLQWERS.
