A Itcmarkablc Hook.
A remarkable book was sold for
$4,900 in London lately. It is a
manuscript of 257 folio leaves of
vellum written iu the fifteenth cen
tury, and is a chronicle of the ear-
ly history of Normandy. Nothing
can exceed the minute delicacy of
the miniatures with which it has
been cmbclished from the first of
them, which represcuts the arrival
of Duka Kollo at Rouen, to the last
which represents the seige of Cba-
lus, where Richard Coeur of Lion
received his dcatli blow from an
arrow shot by Bertrand do Gour-
don. The series includes the
death of Edward the Confessor
and the coronation ot Harold, the
landing of William the Conqueror,
tlie Battle of Hastings, the carry-
ing of Harold’s body to Waltham
Abbey, the funeral of William and
the coronation of Rufus—all cxc-
cuted in highest style and Burgun
dian art, with the minutest atten
tion to every detail of architecture,
costume and armor.
The Hottest Spot On Earth.
Perhaps the hottest region of the
earth ia along the Persian Gulf,
where little or no rain falls. At
Soraklchl Too Much for Lula.
New York Sun.
While Lulu Hurst broke umbrel
las over bald heads in the Brook.
Ivn Theatre last night, a round
headed man, with a dark skin and
twinkling eyes, grinned comically
at tier from' behind the curtains in
a private box. Finally her mana
gcr called for Matsada Sorakichi
and the round-headed man rose
and bowed. The diamonds on his
shirt front lighted bis way to the
stage. Ho folded a light wooden
clmir in his arms and squared him
self like a pugilist. Lulu surveyed
him ut a distance with her finger
on her brow, and laughed “Aba-a.”
“The wrestler will exert his groat
strength to hold the chair,” said
Lulu’s manager.
Lula grabbed the chair and they
two went round and round a circle.
Then they bobbed up and down
like a bottle in the surf. Lula
pushed, and the jab stolidly re
sisted her. Finally, Lula let go
the chair, shook out her hair, and
panted. There was applause ior
Sorakichi.
In the' second bout, Sorakichi
forced a chair from Miss Hurst to
hands to the floor, and kept it
there.
“Me bcatee she,” said Sorakiohi
afterward, his face shining. “She
strong girl, and pusliee much. Not
move me.”
The Hon. John Oakcy sat in a
chair, and Miss Ilurat disturbed
him. He was called upon for a
speech. He said: “Ladies and
gentlemen—This iB the first time I
was ever shook by a girl.”
The First Artesian Well.
Montezuma Rscord.
Ic is generally conceded that
Colonel Fort, of Macon, was the
man who bored the first artesian
well in this state, but such is not
the case. Colonel Anthony Mar-
pby, of Atlanta, has the bonor of
boring tho first artesian well in
Georgia, and while in that city last
week, he gave ua an account of
how he accomplished It. It was
several years ago that Mr. Murphy
was engaged in the lumber business
near Eastman and be found it diffi
cult to supply water suffleuen* for
bis boilers. Finally be decided to
to dig a well deep enough to sup.
ply a sufficient and permanent
amount of water, and with this idea
in view bo commenced on his arte
sian well. He first dag down 1 in
tbo earth the old fashion way of
weil-digging to a considerable
depth, and then he reduced the
size of the well and dug still deeper.
He then got a two-inch auger,
welded it to an iron rod, and : bored
down the full length of the rod,
but reaching no water. l*o attache.)
another length of rod, and ’ after
going down some distance flinhef
he struck a stream of watA’r
which ran oat above. the
(round and supplied hits boilers
rauntifully. Mr. Murphy moved
to Atlanta afterwards, where he has
accumulated considerable property,
but says the water still flows from
his old artesian well.
The Active l.iltle Ilase Hall
One of our exchanges tells of
how the active little Base Ball
rolled under the treoand leaned up.
against a clump ot white clover to
rest.
“Well, I am a little tired,” ho
said, with the air ora man who is
pretty well satisfied with himself
and doesn’t caro who' knows how
smart be is. “I’m not very big for
my circumfcrenco, but I’m busy
mid get there in a way to astonish
humanity.”
What have you done?” drawled
the East India Hammock, lan
guidly, making a lazy effort to
swing a little in the evening breeze.
Done!” said tho little Base Ball
scornfully. “Wlmt have I done?
Since 2 o’clock I have been at it.
1 broke the short-stop’s fingers,
knocked the eye out of the catcher,
skinned the pitebor's hands,
doubled up the umpire twice,
drove tlie wind clean out of the
second base, broke six panes of
glass and a woman’s bead in the
school house, and knocked a spec,
tutor cold. What have I done? I
haven’t laid around all day, a limp
mass oi protoplasmic network.”
And he smiled a hitter triumph,
us lie thus displayed bis college
training.
A Thoughtful Father.
“My son,” said a thoughtful
father with a fair bald head and a
kind blue eye. “I observe with
feelings of deep regret that you
have been reading Bow-legged

fresh water; yet a comparatively
numerous-pop illation contrives to
i live there, thanks to the copious
Kutir. j springs which burst from the bot-
_ ! tom of the sea. The fresh water
'** I is procured by diving. The diver,
i sitting in his boat , winds n great
i goatskin hag around his left arm,
j the hand gasping its mouth; then
he takes in his right band a heavy
stone, to which is attached a strong
I line, and, thus equipped, he
| plunges in and quickly reaches the
I bottom. Instantly opening the
bag over the strong jet of fresh
, water, be springs upon the ascend-
I ing current, at the same time clos-
I ing the hag, and is helped on board.
| The stone is then hauled up, and
the diver, after taking breath, goes
down again. The source of these
copious submarine springs is
thought to be in the green fields of
Osman, some five or six hundred
miles distant.
