AN OLD HUXGAUIAN TALE.
Once upon a time the creatures liv
ing with a farmer grew tired of ser
ving him, and ono and all deserted
him. Cow and horse, cock and hen,
duck and goose, left his dwelling.
Only the doj remained behind, faith
ful to hi master.
They wandered about all day long
in company, and when night caui9,
finding ;i deserted hut in the forest,
Amy vniered m and took possession of
if.
The cat laid herself down in the
-atiil warm ashes on the hearth. Horse
and cow stretched themselves out on
oiiic luote straw in one corner. The
duck waduied under a bench, the
OOse under a table, the hen fl jw up
oil top of a cupboard, the cock on the
ihimncy piece. Just as they had
"omfurtabiy settled themselves for the
uiht a pack of wolves came prowling
about the hut and scut the oldest and
strongest one amongst them into it to
sc.e who it was who had taken posses
sion there.
When the wolf come in at the door
he ?aw the cat's eyes glowing in the
d.-irk, and took them for live coals on
die hearth. But when ho came up
closer the cat IIjw at him, nearly
scratching his eyes out. The horse
fict uj from the &traw and gave' him a
kick in the ribs. And when the wolf
turiKil to flee from the hut the cow
hutted him against - the wall with her
horns. The hen sprang clucking
loudly on his back, while the duck
ami the goose nipped his legs with
'heir bills, atul just as he, frightened
and bewildered with the receptio i he
had got managed to esc ipe out of the
if
door, the cock on the chimney piece
hurst out with a loud and jubilant
crowing. Master Wolf came back to
his c Murades in a very, sad plight.
'That was a nice task you gave
ino," he said, reproachfully. "The
hut is tenanted by witches. When I
came in and went up to the hearth
where I saw some coals burning, the
vixen of a cock flew at mo and
nearly scratched my eyes out, the
i;TOoin got up from the corner where
lie had been lying and almost broke
my ribs with a blow of his flail, wbils
the-farmer himself, seizing a pitch
fork, thrust me rudely against the

MARCHING THROUGH GEORGIA.
The Smsation at Harvard University
and President Eliot's Attitude.
Boston, Mass. Quite a sersation has
been caused among students of Harvard
Uuiversity during the past fewdavs by
the ruinsr that President Eiiot had re
fused to atfow "Marching ' Through
Georgia" to be played at any future po
litical col ege rreeting in Sanders The
atre. President Eliot being asked about the
authenticity of the report said: "I will
explain how it hatp ned. ' There has
becen too much of the hurrah element in
some of the political ga herings held in
Zanders Theatre by the college polit'cal
clubs. This was especially the case at
the meeting of the Republican club.
Last week I had a talk with an officer of
this clu and told him that I objected
to bands cf music, torchlights, fire
works, flag raisings, etc , at meetings in
any of the college buildings. They
might do as they pleased outside. Inci
dentally I mentioned" Marching Through
Georgia" as representi- g a style of mu
sic that I did not care to have introduced
ia Sanders Theatre."
' You do not objtc, then, to that
tune iu itself, or ; the sectimmt it ex
presses?" "Oh no; thero are twenty others that
i might have nanied just as well. I only
happened to think of that first that is
all. I feel that political meetings with
in the college precincts should be of a
more dignified cnaracter than those out
side, For these reasons I have taken
this course. I have also said the same
to the president of the Democratic club;
so you 6ee that I am not at all preju
diced in the matter. My idea is th t
political gatherings in Sanders Theatre
or any of the other college buildings
should be ia the nature of dignified dis
cussions of public questions or debate
upon them. Thj college is not a proper
place for political rallies. This is prac
tically the first year that the political
parties have been represented by clubs
in the college. We allowed them to or
ganize and hold their rallies as an exper
iment. I cannot say whether it will be
allowed another year or not ."
2rs. CdvaA. Jjockwood Gets There.
From the Washington Post
Iu the autumn of 1868 Belva A. Lock
wood, who had then been a member of
the bar of the District of Columbia for
live years, and in good standing, having
some business to transact requiring liti
gation ia Prince George's county, Md ,
applied to Judge MagTuder, sitting on
thi bench at Marlborough, the shire town
of that county, for admission to the bar,
under the rule of comity for the admis
sion of attorneys in the District and in
Maryland.
Judge Magruder not only refused to
admit her, notwithstanding her record as
a a attorney a- d the eminent j&lea of her
counsel, but went a litt'.e outside ofj his
judicial duty to make a speech to the bar
in general, aud Mrs. Lockwood in par
ticular, iu which he said among other
things, as he grew eloquent: "The seas
have their bounds and the eternal hills,
aud the sphere of a woman ii at home
with her husband aud children," and
closed his peroration with these memor
able words: "I pray God that the day
will never come when the women of
Maryland will be admitted to the bar."
On Tuesday, October 11, 1892, Mrs.
Lockwood again had occasion to visit
3Iarlborough Court House in a profes
sional way, and this time applied to
Judge Brooke, who has succeeded Judge
3Iagruder on that bench, her admission
being moved by J. B. Couter, Esq., of
that bar. and the lady was promptly ad
mitted, Judgd Brooke declaring that he
could not refuse her, as her papers showed
admission to the bar in Frederick c ounty,
Md., in March, 1881.
Mrs. Lockwood will take up again the
case she was compelled to drop eleven
years ago.
A TWO-HEADED BOY.
Wonderful Freak of Nature on Ex
hibition in Richmond.
Richmond, Va. There is a really
wonderful fieak of nature (on exhibition
on Broad near Seventh street in the per
son, or persons, of what they call Tocci,
the wonderful two-headed boy. Two
bodies wonld perhaps express the idea
better, for below the waist, is a well de
veloped male form and figure, with two
legs, while above the waist is one body
and four arms and two heads. There is
nothing at all repulsive or unpleasant in
this body, for the faces are bright and
intelligent in appearance, they speak
three languages with ease and are well
read.
Tocci was born iu Lacona, Turin, Italy,
and is 19 jears old, and has been ex
hibited in Turin, Milan, Pavia, Vienna,
Buda Pesth, Berlin, Berne, Lyons, end
elsewhere iu Europe and the cities of

it " . O. D. $150" to the recorder of the
court.
The court didn't have the money, and
the package still lies in the express office
at Coal Creek, awaiting the $150. The
law requires that the evidence be read
to the court before being sent to the
Governor, and till the $150 can be raised
no further action can be taken . .

Australian system, will be tested in the

the county of Allegheny and the Board
of Commissioners, asking that an injunc
tion be issued restraining all persons
from advertising, procuring, or distrib
uting sny of the description indicated,
and from furnishing any ballots except
those required by law.
The pla:ntiffs believe that the lan
does not require that all name 3 shall be
on one sheet of paper, and they have filed
with their petition sample ballots, which
they claim substantially conform with
the law one for Presidential electors,
one for county officer?, and one for the

one-ticket system is not only illegal, but
very expensive. The Court made no

philosophy in that

did you get that bat?

AN IKPIAK SUMMER HAT.
Some very pretty hats are out, suitable for
the supplemental 8eason that indefinable
space of time which lies so charmingly be
tween the end of summer and the advent of
cold, weather. -.Take, for instance, the piqu
ant bit of headgear in the initial illustration,
a biege straw trimmed with chestnut brown
ribbon, forming a large bow, the strings
ttarting from the crown. Under the flaring
crown which is lined with ve'.vet, there is
t a bunch of ostrich tips to the left cJT the
center. . .
A pretty hat for Indian summer is shown
in the picture. It is a white rice straw with
a lace butterfly bow. and an aig'ette of pink
plumes, but I warn the full-fledged girl to
be careful how she seeks o prolong her

Juliet and try saucy Kate. With the com

ly . developed liking for the genuine long
wrap. These garments will be longs cloaks
:n good earnest, completely covering the
gown, and the mat rial will be richly lined
with; bright colored silk.

knickerbockers made pretty fuP, and well

Walled in by Coral.
A curious discovery has been rade on
the island of Kitaba, one of tho Trobri
and group, off the northeast coast of
New Guinea. A great many sailors
passing the little island have ijiaginad
that it had no inhabitants because they
saw no evidences of hum in occupation.
Sir William McGregor, tho AdmtnUtra
tor of British New Guinea, sayj the Isl
and has an am of only five or aix
square miles. On all aides it present a
low and slightly sloping margin, uaually
about a quarter of a rails fcrovJ, covered
by heavy timber. Within is a precipi
tous coral wall which can be ascended
only at a few places. The bank risei to
a height of 300 to 403 feet. Oace at
the top the visitor finds within this wall
a plateau which occupies the whole of
the centre ot the island and is from fifty
to a hundred feet below the coral wall
surrounding it. '
There about 1000 natives iiro and till
their gardens. Tho rich, chocolate-colored
soil yields them an ample supply of
food. They are completely protected
from the wind by the rocky riui that en
closes their plateau. The ishnd soems
to have been an atoll which was lifted
above the sea several hundred feet, ao
that the atoll ring now forni the corsl
wall surrounding the plnteau. Oo this -elevated
and almost inaccsslblo plain
are t'j'rie.en villages, ach of vho:i con
tains over twenty houses. Sir Wiliisn
McGregor says tlio natives gave hi ra a
most pleasant reception. lie found it
difficult to travel through aomo villages
on account of the yams, cocosnuts, mats
and other articles that were laid down
before him for his acceptance. There
are no inter-tribal hostilities, aod. it ia

A Norel Fabric.
This invention consists of a novel ,
fneze like fabric and of the process or
method of making it. For this purpose
the well known knitted fabric or web ia
used, such as ia produced on the circular,
flat, or on any of the frames workiog
. with open, tongue, or ledge needles.
tnd which has a backing ot threads oi
wool, cotton, silk, or other fibroun ma
teria'. This fabric, which is kuown as
stockinet, shows on the one side the or
dinary regular knitted meshes, and on
the other or rough side ths threads of
wool, cotton, ailk, etc., bound by the
finer thread of the knitted web. The
fabric ia first aubjected to a nap raising
process, in any auitable nsppiog ma
chine, so as to cosTert the rough side
into a fleecy state, and, for tbe purpose,
a knittel fabric is u-d in which wool U
the material that forms the threads of
the rough side. The fleece produced by,
the napping machine, on the backing of
the knitted web, is next submitted to
the action of a f riezing machine of suit-
able construction, in order to convert
the fleece into a frieze like surface, re
sembling lambskin, ratteen, or peter
sham. The fabric thus obtained ia well
suited for wearing apparel, or for deco
rative or other purposes. It may be dyed
before the nap raising process, in order ,
to obtain the fioished frieze like fabric
in any desired color. Or the wool threads
before being bound into the knitted web
threads, may be colored or dyed, so as to.
obtain any desired color in the fnezisids
of the finished fabric Scientific Ameri

In Australia grows n curious tree
which is dangerous as well ai wonderful.
In the old trees the stem is grayish
white and red berries grow on the top.
The leaf is nearly round and jaggel '
around its edges like a nettle and uav .i
point at toe top. The tree em t a very
disagreeable odor. Thi tree kav
touched stings one like a horie':. A
traveler says : "I have seea a man who

that he rushed open-mouthed at tverj
