Henry Irving is the most scholarly

Somebody professes to have discovered
that much ot what is published as coming

Robert Burns Wilson, the rising Ken

He is hideously ugly in aopea r auce aud
utterly unscrupulous. The romantic
chivalry a’tributed to Spanish bandits
does not apply to him at alt. He uasgath-

A Horrible Find!
Mr. G. J. Peacock, while on his w ay to
this city from HiiliardsviUe, Henry county,
yesterday morning, and when about six
teen miles south of here on the Weatherby
place, he saw a large number ot buzztrds
flv up from a thicker not far from the road.
He stopped to see what the vultures were
afcer. w ueu he discovered that it was tne
half nude body of what he took to be a
white woman, but the stench was so hor
rible that he could not approach near
enough to say certainly what color the
woman was when in life.
He immediately sent w r ord back to Hii-
iiardsville of his horriole find, that the
authorities of Henry county migflt investi
gate the matter. Just now nothing is
known of the woman as no one of them
has been missed in the neighborhood.
In this connection it might be stated
teat a young man in this office, before he
neard of this find, reported that, at a late
hour last Sunday night, s man and woman
driving a white horse and seated in a top
buggy, drove by his room on Randolph
street down toward the fair grounds; that
he heard the woman crying bitterly, and
went out of his room to see what the mat
ter was. He heard the woman say: ‘I
will kill you. Willie, if it be the last act of
my life.” The horse was whipped up, and
tfley rode ofl rapidly. This may or may
not have something to do with Mr. Pea-
cock’s horrible find, but, of course, it is
only conjectural. Investigation maylclear
up the mystery.—Eufaula Times, 8th.

Vale’s Wooden Spoon Celebration.
A correspondent wishes to know “in what
year the wooden spoon celebration of Yale
college ceased.” The last wooden spoon,which
was originally intended for presentation to
the most popular member of a class, was con
ferred upon a member of the clas3 of 1871.
The first was given to a ’52 man. The pres
ent* tion was elaborately gotten up, and was
followed by a promenade dance, which was
attended by the parents and friends of the
celebrating class. Each class strove to outdo
the one preceding it. The event grew more
and more elaborate in design, and more and !
more expensive. In time the college societies
took a class interest in the elections, and pre
sented their favorites as candidates. This
naturally k-d to wire pulling and the adop
tion of electioneering methods, which are
familiar to those who today take a hand in
the conduct of political campaigns.
Bad blood was engendered, and not infre
quently the harmony of the class was seri
ously disturbed, and in at least one instance
has never been healed. Things were in this
condition when the feature was eliminated
from the social life of the college. We are
not sure, but we are of the opinion that the
faculty took the matter in hand and made
itself responsible for its overthrow. Out of
the wooden spoon celebration grew the pres
ent magnificent Junior promenade. For
several years the significance of the woodeu
spoon was supposed to attach itself to the
student who was elected chairman of the
junior promenade committee. He retained
the copper plate from which the hand
some invitations were printed. Since the
memory of the wooden spoon affair has been
entirely obliterated, we bilieve no 6uch sig
nificance is attached to the honor, though it
still remains the highest social honor con
ferred by each successive class, and the strife
for it is hotly, though thus far in every case
generously, contested.—New Haven Register.
NEW THINGS IN PHOTOGRAPHf.
Early Rising.
AH the tails about early rising is moonshine.
The habit of turning out of bed in the middle
of the night suits some people; let them en
joy it. But it is only folly to lay down a
general rule ujion the subject.
Some men are fit for nothing all day after
they have risen early every morning. Their
energies are deadened, their imaginations are
heavy, their spirits are depressed.
It is said you can work so well in the morn
ing. Some people can, but others can work
best at night: others, again, in the afternoon.
Long trial and experiment form the only
conclusive tests upon these points.
As for getting up early because Professor
All Gammon has written letters to the papers
proving the necessity of it, let no one be
goose enough to do it.
We all know- the model man, aged SO; “I
invariably arise at 5; I work throe hours,
take a light broakfast—namely, a cracker
and a pinch of salt; work five hours more;
never smoke; never drink anything but bar
ley water, eat no dinner, and go to bed at 6
in the evening.”
If an}- one finds that donkeyfied sort of a
life suits him, by all means let him continue
it. But few people would care to live to 80
ou these terms. If a man cannot get all
withered and crumpled up on easier condi
tions than those, it is almost as well that he
should depart before he is a nuisauce to him
self and a bore to everybody else.
Schoolboys, and young people generally,
ought to get up early, for it is found that
nine-tenths of them can stand it, and it does
them good.
But let no one torture himself with the
thought that he could have been twice as
good a man as he is if he had risen every
morning at daylight. The liablt would kill
half of us in less than five years.—Medical
Classics.
Odd Things on tlie Head.
In Norway a high hat shaped something
like h Cower pot Is worn, and the Cossack
wears a hat like a stovepipe, without a brim.
Today among the Swiss a hat is worn simi
lar hi form to the old Puritan hat. It, how
ever, is often ornamented with gay colored
ribbons about it.
The marabout, or black priest of Moham
med, who wanders among the African tribes
wears upon his sable head a white cap and
fez, such as lie expects to wear iu Paradise.
In Mohammedan countries the turban is
found. Some of these are scarfs wrapped
and twisted about the head. Others are com
binations of scarf and fez, with a button and
tassel.
When stovepipe hats were first introduced
among Indians they usually punched the top
out of them the first thing for the sake of
ventilation, as they did not care to have their
heads hot.
An African hat is in the form of a helmet,
woven of rushes or straw, having a peak on
top and a mask or visor extending down over
the face. There are two holes or goggles for
the eyes.
The Chinese mandarins and men of conse
quence wear little round silk skull caps most
of the time. These are ornamented on the
top with buttons whose colors denote the or
der or ra*ik of the wearer.
A singular Corean hat is a great round mat
of straw worn by a mourner. This goes
with a costume of coarse cloth. The hat is
liound down at the sides so as almost to con
ceal the head and face of the wearer. He
carries in his hand a screen or fan, and when
in the road any one approaches him he holds
the screen in front of him so that it, together
with the hat, completely conceals him.—New
York Graphic.
A Convict’s Canes.
A few days ago I noticed some sole leather
canes for sale by a street fakir. They re
minded me of their origin. They were first
made by a convict in the Wisconsin state
prison at Waupun. The poor devil had had
trouble with his first wife, aud after being
separated for a long time he understood that
she had obtained a divorce. Meanwhile be
had become acquainted with a woman who
seemed to bo more congenial to him, and
when he learned he was free they were mar
ried. Soon after he was arrested for bigamy,
aud found that his carelessness would cost
him several years in prison. He endured his
sentence patiently, and the woman of his
second choice remained faithful to him dur
ing his incarceration.
While there he was employed in the shoe
department and originated (he leather cane,
samples of which were put in the visitors’ re
ception room and sold as curiosities. Of
course they were made by hand, the bits of
sole leather being put on a steel core and
scraped to the desired shajie with pieces of
glass. The demand for them led him to pat
ent tlie cane, and upon his release he started
a shop) near the prison, where he employed
several bauds in their manufacture, the shap
ing being done by lathes. He also obtained
a “sure enough” divorce this time and mar
ried the woman who had been so faithful to
him.—St. Paul Pioneer Press.
It is Quicker and Keener Than the
> Eje.
And now photography is not only nsed
for mapping out th6 known heavens, but
the cameia reveals to us the presence of
stars which the Human eye has net seen.
For many years Miss Maria Mitchell and
her assistants hrve photographed the
ever-changing sun spots. Astronomers
from alt over the world have met in Paris
and arranged a plan for m-ing photog
raphy to obtain a picture of the entire
heavens. Cameras will be set up in num
bers 'of observatories in many countries,
and many negatives made of the entire
contents of the universe. It is proposed
to catalogue two millions of the brigntest
stars and note their position with great
precision, as until such maps exist many
other aetronorumicM problems cannot be
solved. We know, for instance, that our
eun, with its planetary saytem, is voy
aging through space. These charts will
help determine the route and circum
stances of the journey.
In war photography has been used since
the English made pictures in the Crimea.
Balloon photography has become quite an
art. Balloons are said to be perfectly
safe from rifle or artiliery fire if 700 yards
above the ground. Electricity is made to
play its part in exposing the plate in the
camera attached to the balloon. During
the Franco-Prussian war and the siege of
Paris* email photographic copies ot valu
able documents and daily papers were
made and roliejd into quills, whicu were
fastened to carrier pigeons, and thus
token to their destination without the
lines.
The Eiffel Tower in Paris has been of
fered Prof. Marcy to enable him to make
studies in photography of birds in fligot,
and very instructive results are antici
pated.
Ataev will remember the picture oi tne
experiment at Willett’s P-inL wheD the
dor.key’s head was omv.n ofi the use of
dynamite, but the picture was taken be
fore the body fell. Both in our army and
navy pbotographic outfits are furnished,
and some of our officers have become very-
expert. Photography may be applied to
surveying, as L : eut. Reed, of the United
States army,has described. It may also serve
for studies in meteorology. Photograph
i’-g rifle-bullets and cannon-balls ii mo
tion has become an every-day matter, out
a novel experiment is said to have been
made not long since in Berlin by Professor
Treesou, who arranged within a cannon
ball a sort of camera which recorded the
character of its flight. A tiny pin-hole
admitted light, and a sensitive plate within
the bail recorded the twisis and turns of
the projectile in its passage through the
air. The gun was firea point blank at the
sun, which sent a beam upon the plate,
recording itself as a point, bui as the bail
swerves more away- from tne sun a spiral
line was formed and marked upon the
plate.—J. Weiis Champney, in Harper for
August. _____

The Sailors Needed Them.
Somebody writes from an American vessel j
in China that a missionary had scattered sev- !
eral copies of the Ten Commandments on the j
shore. The next day they were sent back, j
with the request that they might be distribu- j
ted among the European sailors in port; for !
the tracts contained admirable doctrines i
which the sailors sadly needed to learn and |
practice.—St. Louis Republic.
Be Gracious.
The possessor of an ungracious manner will
never come up to the standard of a time gen
tleman or gentlewoman, although possibly
well bom and well educated. The sensation
of insecurity and of being on the lookout for
some ill judged speech dissipates that safe and
calm atmosphere which surrounds the truly
refined. There is always a nervous dread of
what may come next, and a feeling of con
straint is generated. Persons who are much
in the society of the ungracious toster insen
sibly a guarded carefulness as to topics likely
to call forth a show of ungraciousness and a
cautious manner of feeling their way on a sub
ject, so to speak, very trying to those having
to practice it. Yet, with every care taken,
the failing will appear, and almost always
when least expected and on occasions seem
ingly the least calling for it.—Exchange.

Interesting Statistics Regarding tiie Num
ber of Self-Killers of Both Sexes.
When the statistics of suicide are exam
ined they show, in the majority of in
stances, the absence of domestic ties,
coupled either with misguided love and
jeasousy or dissipation and remorse. In
deed, so far as men are concerned, we
must consider marriage, with iis accom
panying influences of home and children,
a most important prophylactic. In re
gard to women, however, this statement
does not hold good, for with them suicide
is more frequent among the married than
the single, the proportion be
ing about 10 to 9 or 9.4. This may be ex
plained to some extent by the mental dis
turbances produced by pregnancy and
childbirth, but the strongest reason un
doubtedly is that a girl’s youthful dreams
of happiness are often shattered by the
realities of married life.
One of the most interesting tables in this
connection is that compiled by Bertrillion,
and first published in tbe “ Revue Scien-
tifique” for 1S79. He found that among
1.000.000 inhabitants, taken from all c asses,
the following numbers committed suicide,
viz.;
Married men with children 2i5
Married men without cbidren 170
Widowers with children 526
Widowers without children 1004
Total 2205
Married women with children 45
Married w. men without children 1 8
W'idows with children :04
Widows without children 283
Total 595
We here iearu the interesting facts that,
when marriage is childic-ss, the number of
suicides is doubled in men and trebled iu
women; and also that maternal love di
miniihes the number of suicides among
widows with children by one-third over
those of childless unions.
This table also shows that males exceed
females in the frequency of the act in the
proportion of four to one. While this is
true of suicides iu general, it certainly is
not the case in those who are insane. My
experience leads me to believe that suicidal
tendencies in the insane are quite as fre
quent among women as among men, aud I
am sure that the former frequently show
the more determination and persistence.
In the outside world men lead more excit
ing lives and are subject to greater mental
strain than women, and it is, therefore,
natural that they should more frequently
resort to suicide. Another probable reason
for the comparative infrequency of suicide
among women is that they are better en
dowed with religious fervor and possess a
larger share of hope. In India and Japan
only does this rule fail to hold good, and
there the number of suicides among
women is twice as great as among men.
Thi9 fact bears striking witness to the
hardships of woman’s lots in countries
removed from the influences of civiliza
tion.—Popular Science Monthly.
A Phantom Photograph.
On Saturday afternoon Mr. R. Cash, mas
ter of the Shire hall Board school, Ipswich,
md Mr. E. R. Pringle, solictor, were taking
photographs of the Gipping at the spot
where the oil ■ mills once stood, aud still
known by that name. In the evening, how
ever, while developing this particular plate
In the dark room at his own house—Mr.
Pringle being still in his company—he was
perfectly astounded by an appearance which
he had never seen when taking the photo
graph, and for which he could in no way
account. On completing the development
there was plainly revealed in the foreground
of tbe picture the figure of a woman, ap
parently floating upright in the water, as it
is declared that drowned bodies will some
times appear after immersion for a length of
time. “I cannot in the least explain how it
got there,” said Mr. Cash, when interviewed
on Monday, “but here is the negative, and
you can see for yourself.”
And it can only be said that the woman is
unmistakably shown. It is no shadowy like
ness, difficult to detect, nor does it require
pointing out before the lines can be traced,
as with the puzzle pictures so commonly
seen. The face aud head are clearly out
lined; the arms are hanging straight by the
side of the body, which is clad in ordinary
female attire and is v isible to the waist, and
the portrait generally appears to be that of a
tall and comely young woman. There is
nothing repulsive in the photograph, although
it looks weird and ghost like. The first idea
naturally suggested was that the photograph
ic plate had really detected a body which
was invisible to the naked eye. Unable to
account for the apparition. Mr. Cash com
municated with the borough police, one of
whom was struck with the reality of the pict
ure that he at first imagined it to re.-emble
some woman in town, and inquired whether
she had lately been heard of. Next morning,
and very properly so, the river was dragged
at this particular spot, but no body was
found, and so far, therefore, the climax of
the narrative is happily left wanting. It is
a perplexing mystery.—Two Worlds. .
Washington's Duels.
Washington never fought a duel, but two
duels werefought on his account. His officers
were enthusiastic in his defense, and these
duels were occasioned by the detraction to
which he was subject. The first was when
Gen. Cadwalader challenged Conway for
speaking disrespectfully of the commander-
in-chief, and on this occasion Conway re
ceived a severe but not a fatal wound in the
head. The next was when CoL Laurens
challenged Gen. Lee for the same offense and
wounded him in the side. Washington was
the only general who was vindicated by his
lieutenants iu this chivalrous manner, and it
illustrates their devotion. The Conway duej
took place July 4, 1778, and was an effectual
way of celebrating the day, for when Cad-
walader’s bullet hit Conway in the head it
put a stop to his lying. In the Laurens duel
Hamilton served as second, and being thus
early subject to the law of honor it was nat
ural that he should a few years afterwards
accept Burr’s challenge.—Chicago Tribune.
