His English Admirers Annoyed Bret Harte It is said that Bret Harte used to become weary to exasperation at the foolish admirers who could not separate him from liis characters, and who insisted on confounding their experiences and predilections with his own. Since he wrote of pioneer mining camps in the early days of the gold fever, his characters were often heroic only in part; indeed, they were quite as often rogues as heroes. As he obviously could not be identitied with the roughest types among them, the favorite no seemed to be that he was, or had been, a gentleman gambler, says the Kansas City Star. With that Idea in mind, a young English man once tried hard to get Harte to describe and explain poker, which he referred to as “your American gome." Harte convenient ly misunderstood him. tt So you say ‘great game’ over here?” he inquired amiably. “In the States, now, we call it ‘big game’—grizzlies, catamounts, buf falo and the big horns, don’t you know. But we don’t chase them with pokers. No, no. They’re abundant, but they don’t often come Into the houses, really. It’s usually necessary to go outside with a gun.” At another time he learned that a certain noted hostess, whose In vitation to dine he had just ac cepted, had been concerned whether it were true he was a reformed gambler. . Not reformed,” said Harte, wearily. “Tell her that I am be yond reformation. Tell her that I was ray own model for the gambler, Oakhurst, and that the scene of his suicide is pure autobiography. »» Americans Accorded Honors by Britain The first native American to be knighted by an ‘English monarch was Sir William Pepperell, who was bom in Klttery, Maine, June 27, 1696. His father was a Welshman who came to New England as an apprentice to a fisherman. The son became a merchant and amassed a large fortune. As a military leader he took part in several conflicts with the Indians and attained much distinction. For thirty-two years he was a member of the royal coun cil of Massachusetts, and as chief justice of common pleas he won eminence as a jurist. Since Pepperell’s time many Americans have achieved knight hood and higher British honors, Lord Astor and Lord Shanghnessy, the former a native of New York and the latter of Milwaukee, being among the more prominent latter day examples. It Happened in Boston There had been a visitor, and to the lad she said: “And so this is little Walter? My, my! What a big boy you’ve grown to be! I wouldn’t have believed it possible. H , “Mother,” said Walter when the visitor had gone, “doesn’t It pass your comprehension how persons in whom one would naturally expect an ordinary degree of intelligence appear to believe, all history and nature to the contrary notwithstand ing, that the children of their ac quaintance will always remain in fants, and persist in expressing sur prise when they observe the perfect ly natural increase in one's stat ure?"—Washington Star. Knew His Business The storekeeper in a little coun try town was a smart business man. Indeed. He knew just when to strike and just when the iron was hot enough. That was how he had built up such a prosperous business. “Miss Smith,” he suid to one of his assistants, “do you know any thing ahout the new minister who is coming to the town next week?” “Yes,” replied the girl, “he is a tall, good-looking man, about twen ty-eight, and he isn’t married.” “Is that so?” said the proprietor briskly. “Miss Smith, you may put all the new hats in the shop into the front window right away.” Old Mystic Ceremonies The Orphic mysteries were mys tic ceremonies in honor of Bacchus (Dionysus) Zagreus, observed by the followers of Orpheus at a very early period in the history of Greece. These Orphic worshipers of Bacchus, however, did not prac tice the licentious rltee usually characteristic of the “Dlonysla” or “Bacchanalia,” but aimed rather at an ascetic purity of lif?. They dressed In white linen garments and ate no animal food save what was yielded by the ox sacrificed to Dio nysus.—Kansas City Star. Liquid Floats Stones Of all liquids, mercury possesses the greatest specific gravity, but an other has been discovered which is also so heavy that stones of all kinds—granite, limestone, quartz, etc., float in it./It is a saturated nqueogs sol ijWdn of tungstoborate. gravity is 3.3, whereas that of ordinary rocks does not sur pass 2.7. Only a few precious stones have a specific gravity greater than that of this liquid, for which reason. Vt is proposed to employ It for the separation of such stoues from the nusKses of broken rock.
