THE HEAD OM.THE FLOOR.
fltartllnar .Incident Accompanying tne
. d - Death ' of a, Slae Trader. " ; , -
u In , '"squalid court' in Edinburgh
many years, ago a 'man who had been
notorioust f or his cruelties as a slave
trader lay dying. Mental .terror made
his end, .appalling , to witness. , Accord
ing "to Scotch custom, the" famllyv open
ed the door , to let the spirit pass. To
their infinite horror, the bloody head of
a black man rsuddenly. rolled mto -the
room. The family shrieked with fright.
The man on the bed gave a yell of ter
ror, v They . turned to hia bedside; but
he expired as they watched hhn".- When
they looked to ward the "door again; the
head had disappeared, v. There was a
splash of fresh blood, upon the floor to
mark" the spot where it had been; but
pothing else to certify that the horrid
sight had not been a creation of morbid
imaginations.'. v . :
This appearance of a negro's head in
the room of a man dying after he had
committed innumerable barbarities up-,
on black slaves was a strange coinci
dencef and " nothing, more. 'Prof essor
Oweci, .the famous anatomist had been
attending .'an; anatomical lecture where
the body of a negro had beendissected.
He was taking the head home with him.
to :' examine"; It more carefully,1. The
streets were wet and slippery. " Just as
he was passing the open door of the
house ' in which the man lay 'dying he
tripped,' and the head, slipping from
the cloth In which he had it; rolled
Into the little room. . The cry of the
dying man- diverted the attention of
those who were in the room," so that
Owen was able to secure his treasure
and depart unnoticed.
A MODERN HAMLET.
Wherein Hawthorne Was Akin
to
the Melancholy Dane.
Certain characteristics of Hawthorne
are, of course, , indisputable, and It . is
not fantastic to add that some of these
qualities bear a curious resemblance to
those of that very prince of Denmark
who seems more real to us than do
most-living men. Hawthorne was a
gentleman; in body the mold . of form,
and .graced with a ;,noble ;mind. Like
Hamlet, he loved -to discourse- with un
lettered people, with wandering artists,
with local humorists, although without
ever losing his own dignity and inviola
ble reserve. He had Irony for the pre
tentious, kindness for the simple heart
ed,; merciless wit for the fools. He
liked to speculate abouf men and wom
en, about temptation and sin and pun
ishment, but- he remained, like Hamlet,
clear sighted enough to distinguish be
tween the thing in itself : and the thing
as it appeared to him ; in hia. Jsblitude
and melancholy. ; His closest friends,
like Horatio Bridge and William. D.
Ticknor; - were men of . marked jus
tice, and sanity of mind of the true
Horatio type. Hawthorne was) capable,
if need be,, of passionate and. swift ac
tion, 'for all his gentleness and. exquisite
courtesy" of demeanor. Toward;, the
iasf he, had, , like Hamlet hia forebod
ings :"such a kind of gain giving as

? A curious specimen of the famous
Traitor's stone of Rome is still pre

BRILLIANT SWORD PLAY. '
Italy Is the Home of Fencing ai a
" - ' T ; Refined Art." . '
Although "the Germans were always
redoubtable at the. rougher games of
swordsmanship, it is in Italy, that we
find , the first development of i that
nimbler, 'more - regulated; more o cun
ning,, better controlled play . which we
have learned to associate with the
term fencing. It is from Italy that
fencing as a refined art first spread
over Europe, not from Spaing as it has
been asserted by many, writers V. .: .
H It is in the Italian rapier play of the
late sixteenth century that we find the
foundations of fencing in the modern
sense of the word. . The Italians if. we
take their early books as evidence and
.the fact that their phraseology of fence
was adopted 'by all Europe were the
first to perceive, as soon as the prob-.
lem of .armor breaking ceased to be
the most important one in a fight, the
superior capabilities for elegant
slaughter, possessed by the point as
comparedt-with 'the; edge. T They acr
cordingly reduced the breadth of their
sword, modified the hilt- portion-thereof
to admit of a. readier thrust action
and relegated the cut to quite a second
ary position in their, system. With this
lighter weapon they devised in- course
of time thatN brilliant, cunning, catlike
play known as rapier fence.
The rapier was ; ultimately . adopted
everywhere : by men of courtly habit,
but in England at least it was not
accepted without murmur and , vitu
peration from the older fighting class
of swordsmen. CornhilL

It is rather late in the day for this
bit of advfce, but the girl who thinks
of marriage ' should take the precau

of her. lover with her own : before ; she
commits herself irrevocably. . If his
forefinger happens to-be longer than
her own she would best reject him;
for she will never rule her own house
hold, the rule being that whichever
has the longer forefinger becomes the
ruling power in this home. One - en
gaged girl, upon being told of this
test, carefully measured fingers at
once, - and, upon finding . that her
fiance's finger was much longer thari
her own, stoutly declared that she
didn't care. "She didn't want to rule
the house anyway !' The man breath
ed freely once more.. It was this very
same girl, however, who was observed
to make special and strenuous efforts
to set her own right foot upon the;
church step before the groom, and to
place this same foot upon' the carpet
before his! It is a sure sign that which
ever sets foot first upon the church
step and upon the carpet at the altar
will rule the house! -
Which offers a solution of the 4,long
est forefinger" problem! Avoid as
you would the pestilence the tying of
your shoe in a carriage upon yourl wed
ding day. It is "unlucky!" Exchange.
London Doctors' Feci.
Discussion by. London newspapers of
doctors' fees has brought to light some
curious information. "I know a man,"
one doctor ' is. quoted as saying, "who
has a guinea practice in Harley street,
a five shilling practice; in Kensington
and a sixpenny practice in - Seven
Dials.":.' . ;
In Clapton, a poor quarter of London,
fees of twopence (4 cehts)- are said to
be 'not- unknown;. One newspaper, re
marks : ; "Of . the twopence fee it might
be said that it brings ; sickness within
the reach of alU: In Clapton, , at any
rate, there is no excuse or justification
for. any one being well." i ;
This, same newspaper 7 says, "Now
that flats are so fashionable the doc
tor's difllculty in guessing the paying
ability of his patient is enormously in
creased, flats being alike the refuge of
the wealthy and the indigent" ;
A Bit of a Blow.
"I suDDose you ; have ; encountered
worse gales than this?" asked an in
quisitive passenger of the sailor man
during a very, moderate bit of a blow.;
: This yere ain't a gate," responded
the salt "Why, I was onct in the' bay
o Biscay, when the wind blew all the
