In 171ffi a stone weighing fifty-six
pounds was exhibited In London. It
was said to have fallen from the sky
in Yorkshire In the previous December,
but this statement was received with
great iucr’edultty. At that time Sir Jo
seph Banks was president of the Royal
society, and he noticed a strong re
semblance between the Yorkshire stone
and one sent to him from Siena, In It
aly, which was said to have fallen
fix,m the sky. Two or three years lat
er he received an account of a fall of
stones near Benares, in Hindustan. A
chemical analysis of the stones from
all three sources proved them to lie
I identical In composition, and increduli
ty as to their meteoric origin began
to give way.—Notes and Queries.

There is anew maid in the family,

besides language to ream, says an ex
change. Her new mistress, who Is a
young wife with a husband many
years her senior, is trying to instruct
her. One of the lessons was upon
bread, the girl being told that she
should speak of bread which had lost
Its freshness as stale, and not old. The
girl was sure to remember this, for
she was quick to learn, and she did.
So the young wife knew when a few
days later tbe maid remarked to her
confidentially:
“It Is too bad, isn’t it, that your
husband is so much more stale than
you are!” —Detroit Free Press.

An Ancient Itilile.
Iu the Cottonian library in England
is an old manuscript copy of a part of
the Bible in Latin. The London
Chronicle says it was used at the cor
onations of English sovereigns 300
years before the “stone of destiny”
was brought from Scone to Westmin
ster by Edward 1.
If this be true, the use of this Bible
for the purpose dates buck to the year
1000. It is a quarto of 217 leaves, con
taining the four gospels, and seems
from the style of the writing and illu
minations, which are very beautiful,
to have been made abo'ut the end of
the ninth century.
It narrowly escaped destruction In
the lire at Ashburuhaui House in 1731,
of which it bears evidence in its
crumpled leaves and singed margins.
There is some evidence that the son of
Edward the Elder, Athelstan the Glo
rious, who was king of the West Sax
ons from 1)25 to 940, owned this Bible
and gave it to the church of Dover.

Chestnut street in a crowded trolley

“I say, Ag, what would you choose if
you could have everything in the world

“Well,” said Ag slowly and musingly,
“I think I’d choose enough silk dresses
to last me for the next ten years.

“Me?” replied Bade. “It’s the dream

Many stories are told “of the lack of
punctuality upon southern railroads.
It is said that when a New England
mini found his train, advertised to
leave at 11 o’clock, starting at exactly
that hour he complimented the con
ductor.
“Just on time, I see,” he said genial
ly. “All this talk I’ve heard of the
lateness of your trains is without foun
dation, I’ve no doubt.”
The conductor smiled at him gently.
“This train, sir,” he said without a
trace of embarrassment, “is not today’s
11 o’clock train, sir. It is yesterday's
11 o'clock. Today’s will probably not
get here from way down until tomor
row, sir.”—Youths Companion.
vt HOW THE condemned
I Ull I Vrl MURDERER WAS MADE
EAT WATERMELON
ABE COHEN::;; t h,s ,u:ar ' s
Abe Cohen, the negro condemned to
death in Savannah, was born and rais
ed in this county, where bis reputa
tion for honesty was not what could be
even called fair. When Abe was
about twenty years of age he was
working on Hon. John P. Lamb's farm
in fact Mr. Lamb raised Cohen from a
small boy and he use to express it,
"Abe is a hard proposition.”
Abe liked watermelons, strange that
a negro should, but it was really iue
case with Abe. He was so fond of
the luscious, juicy fruit that he would
never figure on wno the melons be
longed to or the consequences or any
u..ng, for tuat matter. AH he wan
ted was the melon, the consequences
were something else.
For years Mr. Lamb knew Abe
had been playing havoc with the wa
termelo patch, but Abe was hard to
catch and he did not want to punish
tne negro until he was absolutely cer
tain that he was the pilferer. In oth
er words he wanted to actually see
Abe stealing the melons. Early one
Sunday morn g, in the month of July
when the fruit is sweetest, Mr. Lamb
caught Abe, For months he had
been watching and his labors had been
rewarded at last. Abe looked at Mr.
La ml) and Mr. Lamb looked at Abe.
“Well, Abe, 1 have caught you.”
“Yesser, youse got me and I aint
goin to lie ’bout it, cause dese mel
ons looks too sweet to burn up in dis
ere ot ssn.”
Abe thought he ~ad made a grand
stand play by confessing and he con
tinued to think so for an hour af
teiwards, an dthen he realized that he
had made a “fatal” error. Mr. Lamb
acted as unconcerned as possible. He
told Abe to pick lour or five melons
go under a big tree in the yard and
eat to his "gineral satisfaction” as
Abe expressed it.
The negro gathered five ol' the best
melons, carried them under the big
tree and with the song, “He Certainly
is Good to Me,” and the melons he
seemed happy. Mr. Lamb saw him
eat one, two,three, and here is
where he got in his work. Goiiy
home he returned with a shotgun.
Abe looked up. “Goin’ to kill a
hawk?” said the negro. '‘No,’’ re
plied Mr. Lamb, “1 am going to per
suade you to eat a few more water-

melons.”
Abe told him that he had had just
about as much as he wanted, but
at Mr. Lamb’s earnest solicitation, he
opened another and made away with
it.
"I show got nuff now,” said Abe.
“Or no, eat another.”
“I aint got room for it: Ise show
full up.”
Slowly raising nml cocking the gun
Mr. Lamb said: “If you think any
th.ng of your life. Abe, you'll cut. that
melon and eat it."
Not until that minute did Abe catch
on. He anew the old man meant bus
iness, so picking out a small melon he
cut it and proceJed to get away with
it but it was hard work.
“Cut another melon Abe,” said Mr.
i.amb.
“Ise glad you goin’ to eat one, cause
de.v is silo good.”
“Eat it Abe,” commanded Mr.
Lamb.
Abe hesitated. He told Mr. Lamb
"he would sho buss” if he ate any
more, and he further stated that he
would rather be shot than to kill him
self eating watermelons, but this
argument did not go with the man be
hind the gun and Abe knew he meant
business. He begged and prayed,
rolled and yelled, but the melon nad
to go and Abe was expected to be at
the going. He gave Abe an hour to
get rid of the melon, but there was
more trouble for him.
“Eat another," said Mr. l^amb.
By this time Abe was about the
size of tlie Texas fat boy. He said he
could not eat another mouthfull; he
fell from the bench and pretended to
be taking his last breath. He gasped,
threw up his hands, told Mr. Lamb
good-bye, but even these parting
word, prayers, etc., did not move that
other melon. Mr. Lamb got Abe up
again. He even cut the melon for him,
and actually was kind enough to as
sist Abe in shoving it down.
V.lien the last melon was finished
Abe couhl’nt move; he said he gxpect
eo to live only a few minutes
But Abe didn’t die. He got enough
watermelon, that’s all.
For several years after tuis occur
rence Abe worked for Mr. Lamb, but
the watermelon stealing stopped. In
fact Abe “didn’t like melons no how."
