SETTING A ROOSTER. 1a Darky Who TTtilizeU a Male Member of "the Chicken Tribe. - citizen of Rumford had canvassed the town in vain from end to end in search of a "hen to set." says the Prov idence Journal, when he heard that an old darky on the Uos'xm, Providence & Newport road had a great deal of "setting' stock." As this was just what he wanted, he lost no time in hunting1 him up. lie found the old man build ing' a hten coop in the rear of bis resi dence. Approaching-, .he asked, by way of broaching1 the subject, how many hens ho had "setting-." "Three hens and a rooster, boss." "And a which?" inquired the poul try man, thinking- he had not heard straight. "A rooster," replied the darky. Seeing the look of distrust on his visitor's face he took him into a' low building, and sure enough there sat a Brahma rooster calmly .covering twenty eggs. On one side of him sat two hens and on the other a third hen. The visitor, seeing how stately the rooster sat, secretly resolved to get some of the darky's eggs and hatch out a special lot of roosters.' On being asked what he did when the rooster wouldn't sit any longer, the darky re plied that "dat ar rooster done bound to set,"-pOinting underneath the box. Looking under the box the visitor was surprised to find both of the roost er's legs sticking through holes in the box. The. black rascal had actually bored holes through the box and tied the rooster's legs underneath, so, as he said, the rooster was "done bound to set." Inquiring into the matter, the Rum ford man found that the darky had four hens and one rooster. Three of the hens .were setting and the other hen was laying-. The darky, finding the eggs of the hen accumulating quite fast, decided to let up feeding the rooster corn, and make him hatch a flock of chickens. GLADSTONE'S ENERGY. Marvelous Endurance of England's Late " Premier. The physical and mental energy dis played by Mr. Gladstone, while con ducting the home rule bill through the house of commons, was marvelous, considering that he is eighty-four years old, and has for several years been. Un der the orders of his physician. Says a London paper: In conducting the home rule bill through committee he displayed al most a spirit of monopoly in regard to the speech making. There was scarcely a clause, a line, or a word whnse untirB defense he would intrust to his lieu tenants. Night after -night he sat through long hours, answering every amend ment in strings of little dazzling speeehlcts. soon breaking through the doctor's rule of retiring from the de bate at nine o'clock, and at the end of the session more persistent in attend ance than any of his colleagues. Never we can say without fear of contradiction has he reached to a higher level of sustained eloquence than during this session. ' Whether we take his great speeches on the first, second and third readings of the home rule bill, his hundred and one little constitutional discourses in committee, his innumerable displays of wit and argument in the personal com bats with Mr. Chamberlain, or, last but not least, his m any important speeches on open questions like the opium traffic and the eight-ho ur day, he has shown the same unriv aled and unchallenged preeminence. - ' ONLY LET HER LOOK WELL. And the Average Woman Will Face Death with Reasonable Calmness, i A young lady of . Owensboro, Ky., while recently visiting in another state, narrowly missed a horrible death. She was walkinf imon a Irmo- and high railroad trestle- with a male ! inena and they were overtaken about the middle of it by a lightning express train. They had sufficient presence of mind to step qut upon the end of the ties, and, crouching down, clung to a water barrel fastened on the side of the trestle. The flying train caused such a vibration of the trestle and the young woman was so frightened she all but lost her gidp upon the barrel, which" would have meant a horrible death upon the rocks below. After ward she said she did not think in this moment of great peril of her father, mother or sweetheart, or the little sins of her past lifebut only of the fact that the greasy, barrel and cross ties were ruining : her new ," spring gown. This reminds the Owensboro1 Messenger of the experience of a girl at Russellville, who, when run down in a carriage with a gentleman at a crossing by a train, suddenly found herself suspended in midair on the pilot of the engine, supported by one arm of the gentleman about her waist, while he clung on to the pilot with tho ntTioi- SVio. o;,i i i v- .. . . v . uiic oj.iuL mil uLiiy re membered that she had gone out to drive with her shabby shoes on, and wondered if anybody was seeing them. A Memorable Feast. On the Fourth of July, ninety years ago, when the Lewis and Clarke explor ing expedition was pushing westward to the Pacific, its members had reached that part of the country which is now the state of Kansas, and they cele brated American independence' at a camp near which now stands the city of Atchison. After firing guns,- sing ing patriotic songs and cheering the spread-eagle speeches, they sat down to the biggest feast of buffalo and prairie chicken that white men had ever en joyed west of the Missouri. -.' Aa Easy Test of Diamonds. Recent experiments by an expert prove that the diamond emits light when rubbed on wood, cloth or metal. The fact that it becomes luminous by rubbing on metal shows that the phe nomenon is not eiectric. As imitation diamonds and other hard stones do not exhibit this phenomenon, the property will be valuable as an easy test of the g-enuinenefis of the diamond. Marvelous Results. From . a letter written by. Rev. J. Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich., we were permitted to make this ex tract : "I have no hesitation in rec ommending Dr. King's New Discov ery, as the results were almost mar velous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist church at Rives Junction she was brought down with Pneumonia succeeding La ''Grippe. Terrible paroxisms of coughing would last hours with little interruption, and it seemed as if she could not survive them. A friend recommended Dr. King's New Dis covery ; it was quick in its work and highly satisfactory in its results." Trial bottles free at Harg rave's Drug Store. Regular size 50c and $1.00. THE MARRIAGEABLE AGE. Woman's Period of Youth Has Advanced Ten Years. "The great trouble with this particu lar age," remarked a young woman on her twenty-seventh birthday, "is that people are so obviously wondering whether or not one intends to- get mar ried, and opining that if so, one had better be about it, lest she find herself in the predicament of Jacky, of nursery lore, of whom it is narrated that 'first he would, then he wouldn't, then he thought he would, and then he couldn't. .Or, as the Scotch gallantly put it, a girl at eighteen wonders: 'AVho shall I take, at. twenty-five who shall I get, and at thirty who will take me?' " "You forget," remarked her listener, "that woman's period of youth has moved on a good ten years. In the old-fashioned novel the heroine was in variably sweet sixteen, never by any chance either more or less. . This gave her two years in which to accomplish the object of her being, since after the venerable age of eighteen all possible interest in her was supposed to cease. Now you seldom find a heroine of fic tion who interests yon under twenty six, and in a large number of actual marriage statistics the bride is between twenty -five and thirty, and even older. How can a child of sixteen or eighteen form any just estimate of a man's char acter, or how it will accord with her own?" "But, don't you think," said the first ' speaker, "at that undeveloped age her own character can grow into conformi ty with his, and that perhaps there will be less conilict and greater happi ness thereby?" "Oh, that is a medieval sort of view implying -the subjection of women, who had better be out of the world since it is now out of the fashion, in these days of woman's suffrage meet ings among the four hundred and peti tions to. the legislature." Then the two, says the Philadelphia Press, drifted into a discussion of the political status of women. ONLY FOOLED HER ONCE. " i An Impecunious Husband AVho Forgot the Trick He Played on His Wife. I have a friend who is comfortably well off, with a reasonable amount of good investments and a good salary, .but he has a weakness for using money freely, says a writer in the Boston Journal. He has also a good wife with "a frugal mind," and by a domestic ar rangement she exerts a salutary check on the liberality of her spouse. Occa sionally he exceeds his allowance and indulges in tricks on "his "banker" to secure a little pocket money, for which he does not desire to render a strict ac count. Not long ago he needed a new hat and bought it, reporting to his good wife that it cost him three dollars, and that sum was duly charged by her to his personal expenses, while in fact he paia out, one 'dollar and fifty cents at a "mark-down" sale, and so had an equal amount to "blow in" without exposure.. In a little time, however, the wife called his attention to the fact that his hat was looking shabby and suggested that he should get a new one, coupling the remark tkat the hat did not seem to hftve worn well, and he must exer cise more care in his next selection. Having forgotten his "little game," the husband replied hastily that ho thought that the hat had done pretty good service for a cheap one. "You can't expect anything from a dollar and fifty-cent hat." "How's that?" says the wife, and forthwith she exhibited her account book with its charge of three dollars, and the husband was forced to confess his fraud and promise better conduct in future. There is peace just now in that family, but when he brings home a purchase the wife calmly but firmly asks him to turn in a receipted ' bill from the'salesman. SELF-WILLED AND AMBITIOUS. Ex-Empress Frederick of Germany . a a Woman of Triumphs and Defeats. Of all the daughters of Queen Vic toria ex-Empress Frederick was the naughtiest when a child. She was self-willed, a perfect tomboy and as full of pranks as her brother, the prince of Wales, says a writer in the New York Advertiser. On one occasion, when an old sailor had carried her on a yacht and setting her down on deck, said: "There vou are, my little lady," the little girl replied: "I am not a lit tle lady; I am a princess!" whereupon her mother said: "You had better tell the kind sailor that you are not a little lady, but that you hope to be one some day." As Princess Victoria grew up her disposition did not alter. Self willed and ambitious, after her mar riage with Crown Prince Frederick she antagonized Bismarck and shocked the German court by her independence. She often said that she t - -Id be cm press of Germany, if ol. u r a day. Her wish was gratified, and after her brief reign of a few months she was shamefully and disrespectfully treated by her son, who now calls her the most intelligent wocm in Germany. Em press Frederick's life has been a singu larly sad one. She is wonderfully like her mother in appearance, and they are Very devoted to one another. She is exceedingly shrewd and clever, highly educated and the superior in intellect of most German matrons. How He Resembled Webster. The Kansas City Mail tells a story of a congressman who, having submitted himself to the manipulation of a vener able colored barber in Washington, was told: "Do you knoiv, sah, you re mind me so much of Dan! Webstah?" Of course the congressman was greatly pleased at the com pi iment, and he smiled visibly. He would have straight ened up promptly had he not had his head in a barbarous chancery, so to speak. "Indeed." he said. "Shape of my head, I suppose?" This staggered the aged colored man somewhat. He had not expected a question in reply and had merely laid the foundation for his complimentary bluff, never , think ing that there would be a call for an explanatory sunerst.rnet.n "X he stammered in reply.

The Vendome Column in Paris, which was destroyed by the Commune in 1871, was erected by Jsapoleon I., principally of cannon takenat Lira, to commemo rate the victory of Austcrlitz in 1805. It was covered with four hundred and twenty-five bronze plaque, molded in bas-relief to display the chief incidents in the Austrian campaign of that year. They were each three feet and eight inches high, and formed a continuous tantl, inclosing the column twenty-two times as it circled to the top, the entire length of the spiral being eight hun dred and forty feet. Instead of Charle magne! as at first intended, it was sur mounted by a statue cf the first Na poleon in a Roman costume and crowned with, laurel. After several postponements it was brought to the ground on the 10th of May in the pres ence or many tnousantis wno naa waited for' hours to witness the spec tacle. . Owing to some engineering difficul ties in cutting the base it could not be brought down at the time originally fixed. The members of the Commune attended in stirte to witness the affair, and sentinels were posted about half way down the Rue de la Paix to pre vent the crowd from approaching too close, as up to the last moment acci dents were feared. At half past five in the afternoon the ropes were tightened, and suddenly the column, was observed to lean forward toward Rue de la- Pa ix, then finally to fall with a dull, heavy thud, raising as it did so an imr mense cloud of dust. Before it touched the ground it separated into three, parts by its own weight, and on reach ing the bod of dirt and fagots, to re ceive it broke into at least thirty pieces. The statue of Napoleon, on reaching the ground, broke off from its pedestal at the ankles, then at the knees, the waist, and the neck, while the iron railings which surrounded the summit of the monument were shivered to pieces. Shortly after the column had fallen spectators were permitted to traverse the place to witness the wreck, but were not permitted to take away any of the fragments. SOME LONG BALLOON TRIPS. A Vain Effort to Cross the Mediterranean Voyaging from England to Germany. The longest balloon voyage on record was one undertaken in 18S3, in which the distance traveled was a little more than one thousand two hundred miles. Three voyagers on that occasion, says Harrison's ila-azine, made an ascent in France, with the intention of cross ing Mediterranean and landing in Al geria. The wind,- however, proving unfavorable, carried tfhem toward Cor isea. When they were near that island the balloon descended toward the water, and for a time their lives were in great jeopardy. I?y throwing out all their apparatus they succeeded in getting the balloon to rise to a height of between two and three thou sand feet, and, traveling on to Italy, they safely descended in that country at a little village near Brescia. An other balloon voyage of nearly the same length was undertaken in No vember, 1S30. On the 7th of that month, Charles Green, with two friends, ascended near London in a balloon, crossed the channel from Dover to Calais, and, passing over France and Belgium, found themselves the morning over the Rhine. Proceeding further they arrived at Viborg, where they descended about eight a, m. on the 8th of November. A recent bal loon voyage of M. Mallet, the French aeronaut, lasted thirty-six and one half hours and would have been the longest on record if he had not landed In the middle of it. He left Villette on the 23d of October at six p. m. and next morning landed at Ottonville, in Alsace, to clear the snow from the balloon. At the end of twenty-five min utes he started again ancl landed near Coblentz at eight p. m. An hour and a half later he landed once more in a valley on Tauna mountains, and fin ally, on the 2oth of October, at six a. m,. aWalben. in Hesse. Two or three aeronauts have proposed to cross the Atlantic in a balloon, but so far it has begun and ended in talk only. A FISH STORY. Four Men Did tlie Work and a Cat En joyed the Benefit Thereof. A Lewiston " railroad man, two friends out of town and a local bag gagemaster went fishing one night and early the next morning along the sinu ous edges of Worthley brook, says the Lewiston (Me.) Journal. They lost their sleep, walked thirty miles or less, held their individual breath one hun dred and sixty times by count at the climaxes of the casts, and then came home with one trout seven inches long said trout having a sheepish look in its face at being the only trout caught. Their friends chaffed them, but they said they had had a good time. At dinner time they met and declared that they'd dine off that trout, that is, they would partly dine off that trout. One of them cooked it and put it on the table and then, while he stepped into the kitchen for the sr.lt box, the cat jumped up on the table and ate the trout. They returned in time to see the cat washing her face and picking trout bones from between her teeth? They were philosophers, and their philosophy alone saved them, but it was rather galling-to think that the cat, that had not lost any sleep, had not walked thirty miles, had not stood the gibes and slings of the nwiltitude 6hould eat the fish.

How It Came to Be Adopted as the Na tional Fla Long Aero- ' Some seventy or eighty years before France was involved in the names of the revolution that is, at the epoch of the war of the succession, when she was in close alliance with Spain and Bavaria it was thought desirable, says All the Year Round, to distin guish the allied soldiers by a cockade, wnicn combined the colors of the three nations the white of France, the red of Spain and the blue of Bavaria. To none of these incidents, however, would it be wise to attribute the origin of the historic tricolor and cockade adopted by revolutionary France. At the outset there seemed a likelihood that green which Camille Desmoulins had -popularized at the Palais Royal would have become the national color; but men remembered in time that it was that of the livery of Comte d' Artois, the most unpopular of the Bourbon princes, and it was thereupon discard ed. A proposition was then made to assume the colors of the city of Paris blue and red, as Dumas reminds us in his "Six Ans Apris." To f,hese was added the white of so many glorious memories, because it had been selected by the national guard always faith ful to the throne and its traditions. Xot until some months after the cap ture of th Bastile was the tricolor definitely adopted, when Bailly and La fayette presented it to Louis XVI. in the great hall of the Hotel de Ville, and the convention issued a decree in whjeh it was described as consisting of three colors "disposees en trois ban dees egales, de maniere que le bleu soit attache a la garde du pavilion, le blanc au millue, et le rouge flottant dans les airs" that is, in equal ver tical sections, with the blue inward, the red outward and the white between. This is the historic flag which Na poleon's legions, in conjunction with their eagles, bore victoriously from the Seine to the Elbe, the Tagus, the Borodino and the Danube; which they planted victoriously on the walls of al most every European capital.

An innocent barrel of bar ana meal was last week the cause of a curious complication between the department of agriculture at Washington, the custom house in New York, the United States Express company and Mr. Francis J. Geis, of 700 East One Hundred and Fortieth street. The meal the government of the island of Jamaica as a present to the United States govern ment, and as Mr. Geis had been Instru mental in arousing the interest which has led up to the manufacture of such meal, the business of forwarding it t Washington after its arrival in New Vork was intrusted to him by the Jama ica authorities. He performed his work by giving the bill of lading to the United States Express company, with instruc tions to forward the meal to Edwin Willetts, assistant secretary of agricul. lure. It did not go. The custc" house offi cers here, knowing that there is a duty of 20 per cent, on banana meal, as a manufactared product, held it, and an order from the treasury department is now necesary before Uncle Sam can get the srift that was sent to him with out paying himself the duty he has im posed upon it. The gift of a single barrel of banana meal from one government to another is one of curiously trifling pecuniary value. Out it is one which may lead to results so vast and important that they are hardly to be estimated at present. The contents of this sample barrel are to be distributed in small sample packages to such planters in this country as shall rignify their intention to embark in the business of manufaoturinir tho meal.
