But to my loyal son, who kept his father's : command. I make this bequest: That he shall be the bird beloved which dwells and sings in .gardens and amid shady groves for the joy of happy peo? ple, for the consolation of those who weep, the nightingale." And from that day forth the Russian people have called the meadow orchid cuckoo's tears.*' [it is also known -?s "the cuckoo's sh'ppers."!-Isabel P. Bapgood in New York Post NV ' / Breaking Off.

The chief constituents pf all fire? works are gunpowder and its ingredi? ents. Iron and steel filings and cast iron borings, free from rust, are used to in? crease "the brightness of the display and produce the Chinese fire. When the rocket explodes up in the air, the bright and varicolored sparks are produced by these filings as they ignite in the oxy? gen. Copper filings and copper salts are used to produce greenish tints. A fine blue is made-with zinc filings. A light f greenish tint with much smoke is made j out of sulphuret of antimony. Amber? resin and common salt protected from dampness produce a yellow fire. Salts , of strontia make a red light A green light is also ma/ie by the salts of bari 1 um. Deserted at the End. William the Conqueror was a man of very gross habit of body and at the siege, of Mantes was hurt by the rear? ing of his horse, the pommel of the j saddle striking the king in the abdo? men and causing injuries from which he died in a few days. Bief ore his death he was deserted by all his at? tendants, who stole and carried off even the. coverings of the bed on which he lay. The body remained on the floor of the room in which the king died for two days before it was buried by char? itable monks from a neighboring mon? astery. Typographical Errors. American authors, no less than Eng? lish, sometimes .suffer for the sins of the printer. A line of Mr. Aldrich's which originally read :"A potent medi? cine for gods and men"- was misprinted. "A patent medicine." etc. And Mr. Al? drich's equanimity was upset on an? other occasion! because in a serious mood he wrote in one of his poems "Now the old wounds, break out afresh" and was horrified to read that he had said "Now the old .woman breaks out afresh' \ v v* . - ? ... 1 ???? 1 ~ ?> Replanting tlte Seed?. Nubbins (shouting across the garden fence to his next door neighbor)-Ht there! What are you burying in that hole? - Neighbor-Oh. Fm just repa inting some of my garden seeds. Nubbins-Garden seeds, eh! Looks to me very much like one of my hens. : Neighbor-That's all right The seeds are inside her. A Kins*? Miserable Encl. Louis XL, after: having by open mur? der or secret assassination rid himself of the most powerful nobility of France, died in miserable fear, begging his phy? sician to do something for him. During his last days he sent for St Francis of Paula and offered him untold riches to intercede with heaven for a further lease of life. _' ' ? . , '. ~~'~ ? " t*receden?, ~ ^V5=- . A clever answer in court was that given to Chief Justice Coleridge years ago, when he was defending a lady who had become a Sister of Mercy and was expelled from the convent for refusing to obey the rules. She had brought an action for expul? sion and libel. In the course of the trial Coleridge nssumed that breaches * ot discipline are trivial, contemptible and should never be noticed. "What has .Miss Sa win done?" he asked Mrs. Kennedy, u mistress of novices. ''Well," said the lady, "she has, for example, eaten strawberries." "Eaten strawberries? What harm is there in that?' "It was forbidden, sir," said Mrs. Keunedy. "But Mrs. Kennedy, what- trouble was likely to come from eating straw? berries?? "Welt sir;" said Mrs. Kennedy, "you might as well ask what trouble was likely to come from eating an apple, and yet we know what trouble did come from it" ^ t That closed the discussion. ? Too Much For the Sheriff. An Irish widow with a quick wit one day received a call from a sheriff who had a writ to serve on her. According to the story, the widow saved the day by some rapid fire courting which took the sheriff by surprise when he called at her house and began in formal fash? ion: "Madam, I have an attachment for you." "My dear sir." she said, blushing, "your attachment is reciprocated." "You don't understand me. You must proceed to court" said the sheriff. "Well, I know 'tis leap year, but I prefer to let you do the courting your? self. Men are much better at that than women." "Mrs. Pbe?an, this is no time for fool? ing. The justice is waiting." "The justice waiting! Well, then, I; suppose I roust go. but the thing is so sadden, and besides I'd prefer a priest to do it" A Useful Woman. "Blennerhasset," said Mrs. B?iggins as he was about to start down town, "can you let me have a little money to run the hmise with today?" "You can have just 50 cents." he growled, flinging the coin at her and slamming the door behind him as he went out "By the way, Bliggins." said a friend who dropped into his place of business an hour or two later, "will you go my security on a note for $5007" "Shortleigh." replied Bliggins. "it is an inflexible rule in my family that I must never do anything of that kind without consulting my wife."-Chicago Tribune. Troubles of the Rich. Mrs. Parvenue-The reason we stay !onger in the country, my dear, is be anse your papa is beginning to make ?o much money. Georgie-Say, ma. do you think we'll ever get so high toned that we will have to-stay in the country till it's cold enough to freeze you?-Smart Set Full of Snap. Greteben, the daughter of an old Ger man named Kruegel, had been serving as domestic about two weeks in the household of Judge Vaughan of Kich mond, when father and employer met on the village street. "Veli, yoodge," said Kruegel, "how you like dot Gretchen by dis dime al retty?" "Like her?' returned the judge in hia blunt way. "Why, she's just great) We never had any one in the house in her line that entered into work with sa much spirit. Sile's full of snap all the time." Kruegel turned ponderingly away, and, meeting his frau at his home por: tal, he sorrowfully said: "Teresa, some ding must goed wrong mit dot Gretch' en. I yoost dit meeted Yoodge Vorgang und he saidt dot she vas full of schnapps all de dime." . Wliat thc Dentil Mast Sliows. The value cf a plaster cast as a por? trait of the dead or living face cannot for a moment be questioned. It must of necessity be absolutely true to na? ture. lt cannot flatter; it cannot cari? catur?. It shows the subject as he was or is. not only as others saw him in the -actual flesh, but as he saw himself. And in the case of the death mask par? ticularly it shows the subject often as he permitted no one bot himself to see himself. He does not pose; he does not **try to look pleasant/* In his mask he is seen, as it were, with his mask off. A Sure S ism. f little Dick-Papa, how does thunder sour milk? . Papa-It is not the thunder, but the electricity. "How does electricity sour milk?' "It works certain chemical changes in the constituents of the fluid, which result in the formation of an acid." "Of course. But hoyr ?" "I don't know." . "I thought you didn't, or yon wouldn't have used such big words." Christians and Jeers. 3 When Charles Lamb was berating an enemy, some one said to him, "Why, you don't-know him." Lamb replied. "I don't want to know him for fear 1 should like him."" - * Christians and Jews make ignorance of each other a claim for judgment and seem to be afraid to become acquaint? ed for fear that they might like each other.-Peters' "The Jew as a Patriot" .-:-, Spectacles and Moisture* -Wearers of spectacles are frequently annoyed by the glasses becoming dim from a deposit .of -moisture upon them. An .easy way to prevent this is to wash the glasses every morning with soft potash soap. The glasses should then be polished, bot an invisible film will remain which will prevent moisture being deposited on them. A -Painter's Troubles. The desire of the Bank of England officials to discover forgers has some? times led to curious mistakes. On one occasion the painter George Moria nd. in his eagerness to avoid his dons, re? tired to an obscore hiding place in Hackney, where his anxious looks and secluded manner of life induced some of -his neighbors to believe him a forger of notes then in existence. * The directors, on being Informed; dis? patched some dexterous detectives to the residence, *ut Morland's suspicions wore aroused by their movements in front of the house and. thinking them bailiffs, escaped from the back to Lon? don. Mrs. Morland informed the visitors of her husband's name and showed them some unfinished pictures. The facts were reported to the directors, who presented Morland with two twen? ty poond notes by way of compensation for the alarm. Cn i a tie Tablecloth. When a sootheast wind is blowing, the visitor to Cape Town is treated to a peculiar and interesting natural phe? nomenon, for under such conditions Table mountain, in the language of the natives, **puts on a tablecloth." In other words, the thin line of fleecy cloud forming above it descends until it rests fiat upon the mountain top. with its edges drooping gracefully over its sides. It is really not unlike the article ot household use which gives it its name. Northwestern Railroad. TIME TABLE NO. 2. In effect Sunday, April 13. 1902, at 6 a m Between "Wilson's Mill and Sumter.
