THE SCOTTISH BRIGAND. A Bit of Border History of the Tim of fame V. Of all the minor border castles lew are more renowned in sonff and story than the Tower of Johnnie Armstrong, the laird of Gilnockie, who, I'iscottie tells us, "was the most redoubted chieftain that has been for a long time on the borders, either of Scotland or England," says Cassell's Picturesque Europe. "lie ever rode with four-and-twenty able gentlemen, well horsed, yet he never molested any Scottish man;" and it is said that from the bor ders of Newcastle "every Englishman, of whatever state, paid him tribute" (blackmail), which seems barely pos sible. '' ; His tower, called the Hole house, is oblong, sixty feet in length, forty-six wide and seventy high, furnished with a capehouse and turrets. It occupies a steep rock, on the small promontory of Gilnockie, washed on three sides by the Esk in Dumfrieshire and protected on the fourth by a deep ditch. During the reign of James V. he committed such ravages and excited such terror by his forays into Westmoreland that his band of mosstroopers became so great as to hazard a defiance of the crown. Hence the king marched against him, with numerous forces, in person, and halted at Eucsdale, a pas toral district of Dumfrieshire, whence he sent a herald to summon the at tendance of the laird of Gilnockie and his chief followers under a promise, it is said, of security. The laird is known to have yielded a ready attendance, and in token of his peaceful intentions toward his sov ereign he and thirty-six gentlemen, his adherents, ran their horses at a gallop and broke all their lances on Langholm Holm, while, as the ballad has it, their ladies looked from the lofty windows, saying: "God send our men well back again." But they were all hanged by order of the king, to whom, on finding his loyal promises derided, Armstrong said proudly: "It is folly to seek grace at a grace less face; had I known this I should have lived on the borders, despite you and King Harry, too, though I know that he would weigh down my best horse with gold to learn that I am to die this day." WILLIAM'S LATEST CRAZE. Th. German Emperor Wants a Diamond Worth 8,000,000 fur llli Now Crown. Emperor William is trying to obtain the biggest diamond in the world for his new crown which is being made in Berlin. This diamond is called the Ex celsior. It was found last June in the mines of South Africa and is Baid to be worth 85,000,000. It is three inches high, nearly three inches broad, weighs 971 karats and is of matchless luster. For it the British government has of- feted 82,500,000. The excitement of diamond hunUpg is something now to the young man who rules over Ger many and is. contributing vastly to the amusement of an interested publio by the multiplicity of the roles in which he chooses toappeir,TCvery six months, says the Brooklyn Kdgie," represents a crisis in his career that li to say, a crisis of the continental sort. It is either the Bensation of getting beaten In Tnl.':.l. . 1.4 il. l , u uu uuuiiBii vauub niuu. fir inn mci- Vf , increasing the army time, or the mor tedrtviiat Bismarck "V-a the hearts of .tiirn of; an affec Ji the recurring anx or Russia, , or the jrffoclalism, or a military which he strives to carry ,.io glory, or a pheasant shoot--itch whatever it be it is vcrv Aain tho kaiser is boun'l" keep himself in the public eye. Now it is a chase for a diamond. That the jewel is of such Immense value simply in creases his desire to get it, just as the ardor of a young man's suit is inten sified by the unwillingness of his sweet heart to commit herself. This restless ness, this recurring desire to say or do or obtain some thing which will not per mit his personality to be even momen tarily forgotten makes a lively contri bution to the literature concerning the ways of modern kings. HOW TRAMPS TRAVEL. Trnck-Rlrilng Naeessury In tha Country West of the Mississippi The November Century contains a upique article entitled: "Tramping with Tramps," being a record of the actual adventures of a young American who disguised himself as a tramp and took to the road. The following is an extract from the article: Of the states in the western district, I think that Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Colorado, Washington and a part of California are the best for tramps. Illinois is thought especially well of by vagabonds because of its "good" railroads. The Illinois Central, for instanco, is known the country over as the best for a journey south, and I have known tramps to travel f f- ! 1 ""M T 3 ' r r" . - 4 RIDING OX A TItVCK. from New York city to Chicago, and go south by this line rather than start from New York direct for New Or leaus. The "C. U. & g. is also great "snap;" in fact, so much so that, when I was on the road, it was called "the bums' line." In Nebraska, where tho "Q." becomes the "15. &. M. It.," the lines are more tightly drawn, and it behooves a roadster to tal;o to tho trucks if ho is anxious to make goo! ' time. Truck-riding Is necessary almost everywhere west of tha ilississippi. Of course one can "fool around'' frviprht trains, but he is liable to be kuocke.l off when the train is at full upeed. and unless this occurs ou the desert, or where the grouud is rather soft, it rouy prove dangerous. I once attempted to rTri. ride a "freight" on the Southern Pa cific road, and it was the hardest ex perience I ever encountered. I hung on to the side of a cattle-car in order to keep out of the brakeman's way, but he eventually found me, and Ordered me to get up on top. There I was made to turn my pockets inside out to convince him that I had no money. , Being angered that I could not give him a dimo, he said: "Well, hit the gravel! I can't carry you on this train." I told hbn that I would never hit the gravel unless he stopped the train. "You won't, eh!"" he said; "well, now, we'll 6ee." So he chased me over his train ' for about fifteen minutes. I dodged him here and there, and found that I was quite able to elude him as long as he alone followed me; but soon the "Con" appeared, and then the chase began in earnest. They finally pressed so near Mat 1 was com pelled to climb down the side of a cat tlccar. They then tantalized me by spitting and swearing. Finally the "Con" climbed down also, and stepped on my fingers, so I had to let go. For tunately, the train was slackening its speed just then I really think the en gineer had a hand in the matter, for he is usually a good fellow and I got off safely enough. But I had to "drill" twenty miles that afternoon without a bite to eat or a drink of water. In the far west after that experience I al ways made use of the trucks. The usual time for eastern and western tramps to start south is in October. During this month large squads of vagabonds will be Dund traveling toward "Orleans." 1 once was on an Illinois Central freight train when seventy-three tramps were fel low passengers, and nearly every one was bound for either Florida or Lou isiana. HYBRID COINAGE. Got. Walt, of Colorado, Hal a NW Plan for Silver. D. II. Waite, the sensational governor of the Centennial state, has in hand, it is stated, a convention of miners, which is to pass resolutions urging a special session of the legislature to protect the silver mining industries. Gov. Waite has been in correspondence with Pres ident Diaz, of the republic of Mexico, and has, so the state cabinet avers, ar ranged for the coinage of a hybrid sil ver coin, upon which will appear the Mexican mark, as well as the Colorado coat of arms. This coin is to be made in the Mexican mintfe, of Colorado sil ver, the Mexican government having the seigniorage as the profit. Gov. Waite declares that the state can pur chase the bullion, issue certificates, which may bo used as a medium of ex change until the return of hybrids, with which these certificates may be redeemed. The same wire which flashed the above information broadcast over the GOV. . H. WAITE, OF COLOBADO. land told how S. J. Toy, recently ap pointed warden, took possession of the Colorado penitentiary at Canyon City. Toy had come from Denver by train. He was met by ex-Deputy Ifence, son-in-law of the governor' who had been removed by Warden McLester, and a prison employ who had per mission to bo absent until a late hour. Stealthily upproaching the prison, the employe gave tho proper signal and the outer door was opened for his admis sion. All three sprang in, covering the guards and disarming them. The inner gate was passed in the same way. Benco was then recognized and ordered out, but he ex hibited a new appointment as deputy signed by Toy, who in turn presented his own credentials. Guards, who had become alarmed by the dis play of firearms, began blowing the alarm whistle and McLester was awak ened. As ho stepped out of his bed room he was ordered to leave the penitentiary grounds at once. He asked for permission to go to the office and arrange his papers, but that was refused. With a man on each side of him, the deposed warden was con ducted to the outer gate and ordered to depart. THE MOVING WORLD.

Pierre Gustave Toutant Beauregard was born near New Orleans, Slay 28, 1818. J le graduated second in his closi rank ut West Point in 18118. He was as signed first to the artillery and then to the engineers, and in 1838-80 to assistant in the construction of Fort Adams, New port, and at Fort Mac Henry, Maryland, In 1844-45, At the beg5-"'" of the ' gen. g. t. beacregabd. war with Mexico he was engaged in the construction of defenses at Tampico, in 1840-47; siege operations at Vera Cruz, Cerro Gordo, Chapultapec and City of Mexico, where he was twice wounded. Shortly after he was brevettcd major. He attained full rank of captain of en gineers in 1853 for fourteen years of continuous service as lieutenant. On returning' to the United States he was Assigned to engineering in theconstrua tion and repairs of fortifications ou the Mississippi river and in the construc tion of the custom house at New Or leans. His supervisory duties extended over the gulf coast from Florida to the Rio Grande. He offered his services to the southern confederacy in 1801. On the refusal of Maj. Robert Ander son to evacuate Fort Sumter he opened fire soon after daylight on April 1!3, 1801. He was practically in command at the battle of Bull Run, where he was again victorious. He nearly succeeded in routing the northern army at tho battle of Shiloh, and held Petersburg against the federal advance and. defeat ed Butler at Drury's Bluff. He surren dered his army to Sherman in April, 1805. After the war he became presi dent of a railroad, adjutant general of the state and manager of tho Louisiana slate lottery. Gen. Beauregard has, until recently, been engaged in many important enterprises in the south. LAND Oh" UIG-lMOitD MEN. Arizona So Named Uocaute of a Facial reculinrlty. Who would for a moment suppose, says tho St. Louis Republic, that tho word "Arizona," whicli we associato with balmy breezes, music, moonlight nights and amuzons, could mean noth ing more or less than "a great big nose!" The southwestern portion of what is now tho United States was originally inhabited by a tribe of natives noted far and wide for their prominent, beak-like noses, and, al though nature had been extremely lavish iu her gifts when, she conferred nasal appendages upon these queer aborigines, they sought to enlarge those organs by piercing the vertical septum or gristle between the nostrils and wearing enormous ornaments therein. One division of this big-nosed tribe would wear a ring hammered from native gold or silver; another an ornamented shell, while a third were content . with a sharp stick driven through the cartilage in such a man ner as to permit of the ends projecting several inches to the side of each nos tril. To the early Spanish invaders tlieso queer but harmless creatures were known as "tho Big Noses." In the Spanish language "nose" is nariz. My authority says in that language you can also express a diminutive or an augumentativo by a termination to the name word. Thus, narizito would mean "a little nose," and narizon "a groat big nose." The feminine of nnrfcou would bo narizona. Tho "n" havinix been eliminated by usage and tirno, wo have the name as it stands to-duy Arizona. In much the same manner tho state of Oregon receives its li a mo from a tribo of Indians noted for their enormous cars. They pierced the auriclo and enlarged tho lobu much in tho same manner that the Narizons eulurged their noses. In the Spanish, "ear" ia oreja. Now at tach on, the augmentative to the word oreja, leaving off tho final a from the word meaning ear, and wo have Oivjon. Timo, which, like care, will kill a cat, has changed the "j" to "g" and given us tho word "Oretron." , Marriage in Euglitnd. Some curious marriage statistics of England and Wales have recently been made public. Taking all persons abovo 15 years of age, there are 8,71,0, 833 unmarried males, 4,851,548 mar ried males, and 484,090 widowers, against 8,008,005 unmarried females, 4,1)1(1,040 married females, and 1,124,810 widows. English scientists have these rather puzselinf questions to answer: Why does tho number of widows so greatly exceed that of the widowers? And again, how can there be 4,010,049 married 'females and only 4,851,548 married males, unless some 100,000 or so persons hc been guilty of bigamy? CAST OFF FROM A WRECK. tallies Cat Which founded a Community ' on tho New Jeraey Cit. Long Beach, the narrow strip of sand seven miles from the mainland on which the village of Beach Haven, N. J., stands, contains tho only tribe of tailless cats in the United States. These cats were not detailed, says a correspondent of the St. Louis Globe Democrat. They were born without tails. Early in this century a large Euglish brig was wrecked on that part of the Jersey coast. She became a total wreck, but the sailors' lives were saved, and so were the lives of a lot of cats. These felines came from tho Isle of Man and belonged to a curious breed found only on that island known as Manx cats. At first the animals were quite tamo, and fre quented the vicinity of the lighthouse, where they nightly held open-air con certs that were not harmonious enough to . merit the appreciation of the ligntkeepera, and ultimately resulted in their being driven away. The felines took to the woods nu l managed to subsist during the first winter on birds, thousauds of which lived iu the swamps. The cats increased rap idly in number. and in a few years small packs of them could be found almost anywhere in Barnegat'a woods. Their outdoor life made them savage, and the breed seems to have increased in both size and courage, for eventually they be came so fierce that they would stand and show fight toward anyone who in vaded their homes. They are curious looking creatures. The front legs be ing snorter tnan their hind legs causes them to make big jumps as they go ( about, yet it is said they can easily out run an ordinary dog. The cats make good fishers, and when fish are plenti ful they go along the beach, and. as the breakers run nnnn thu bWs .. rying with them small butterfish, mul lets and silver bait, they jump into the shallow water and with their sharp claws pin a fish to the sand and the outgoing wave leaves their prey ex posed. Then, before another breaker can roll in, they catch the fish and take it up on the dry beichand devour it. At times dozens of these strange looking cats can be seen on the beach making meals oft the surf clams that are cast up by the tide. For the past twenty or thirty years Long Beach has been a famous summer resort. ' Many of the cats have been killed by tourists or frightened back into the swamps. Occasionally some humane visitor en deavors to tame one of the animals It is hard work, but when the effort is successful there is no more domestic or affectionate pet than a Manx cat. CARRIED HIS LunvH. A Snake That Made a Heal of Hie On Caudal Appendage. "Talking about snakes," said the man who had worked as a telegraph lineman in South America, "you ought to see the sarpints they have down there. Me and my partner ran across a snake one day; we was working on the line and we thought at first that it was a log. It had just eaten some big critter, for there was a lump in its body, and it didn t show any more in terest in us than if we were sticks. We got a big crate that had come to the village near us, full of dishes, and took it and a bottle of chloroform down to his snakelets. "We knocked him out with the chloroform, and after a good deal of work got him coiled up in the crate. Then we carried the crate on a wagon to the station with' us and took him into camp on the train, ne waked up next day, but the cuss wouldn't eat. He just laid there and sorrowed, and nary a bite would he even take out of a lamb we gave hira. In about two weeks he began to look thin, but he still kicked on eating, so we put him and his crate in an outhouse and left him for two weeks more. When we went to look at him again rue had changed position and was now coiled around in such a way that he could get his tail in his mouth, and he had about a foot of it swallowed, just to keep his stomach braced, I suppose. "We moved just after this, and we took Nero, as we called him, with us, carrying the crate with us in a freight car. The car was an old one, so we were allowed to run it off on a siding at the station that we made our head quarters, and here we left him while we traveled inland to run a line. It was a month before we got back, and we both made a break for the car, but gosh darn me, would you believe me, there wasn't more than a foot of that snake left. He had swallowed and di gested about nine feet of himself, and he took off six inches more before he died." . - A Frenoh Cook'i Treatlee Upon Bit ChoMd Art aod Profession. "Man has created the culinary art; he does not eat like an animal, he breakfasts, dines and sups." With this quotation tho author of a very serious French treatise upon cooking begins his book. He is particularly eloquent on tho subject, of sauces. "Cooks re cognize four great sauces," he says. "These are the foundations of all others. They are Spanish, Veloute, Bechamel and German. The Spanish and Veloute were known in the seven teenth century, and were modified in the eighteenth by the great masters (cooks) and by Careme, the Raphael of the kitchen. ' "The Spanish is composed of juices extracted from a mixture of ham, veal, chicken and pheasant. Veloute is similar, but is not colored. Bechamel is Veloute to which cream has been added, and the German sauce is Veloute to which yolks of eggs have been added." After telling how to prepare these the author discusses the "Theory of Sauces." Certain writers, it seems, have condemned the use of thickening of browned butter and flour in meat sauces. He contradicts them emphat . ically, and quote Careme, who says, severely: "Now, I ask the writers of these ridiculous books in what respect butter mixed with flour is corrosive and incendiary? But of what conse quence are these ignorant men? Let them blunder on; let them continue to disgrace their profession. 'Sooner or later an enlightened prac titioner will arrive, one who will un veil the evil of charlatanism. He will avenge science, and will cause them to disappear from the faoe of the earth." , A Qseer Mttlo Quaker Custom. Near the city of Philadelphia there are a few quaint old villages where Quakers and Quaker customs are to be found just as they were in the days of good old William Penn. You have no idea flow odd some of these customs are. A few days ago a New York lady was traveling through one of these little villages, and, being tired, she stopped at an old brick farm-house to rest. Im mediately there came out a little girl, dressed all in gray, who invited her to come in the house and have a cup of tea and some cakes. . When the lady had partaken of her refreshment and turned to go, she offered the old-fashioned maid in gray some candy out of a sweetmeat box which she carried at her belt. "No, I thank thee." said the little one bashfully. "I thank thee but no." "Please take tho candy," urged the lady, "I want to give it to you because ' you have been so kind to me." For a minute the little one hesitated. She put out her hand, as if yielding to temptation, and then drew it back res olutely, as she said: t'l thank thee, no. I may not take the candy now, because when thee asked me first, if I would have some, I told thee no, and now I may not take any until thee comes some other day." A TALL FEE. One Hundred and fifty IVollars for Three Minutes Job. In the Bloomsbory county court, not long ago, Judge Bacon tried the case of Browne vs. Earl of Annesley. which i was a claim for eighteen guineas, oai ance of an account, by , Dr. Lennox Browne, for an operation performed by him on Lord Glerawley, the defendant's son. It appears that Lord Glerawley suffered from stammering. He was under the treatment of a Mrs. Baker, who recommended that Dr. Browne should be consulted. Lord Annesley took Lord Glerawley to the plaintiff, who put him under chloroform. For that two guineas was asked and for the operation which followed a medium fee of thirty guineas was charged. Plaintiff said be was a recognized au thority on matters of this kind and had received as much as fifty guineas for similar operationa In cross-examination Dr. Lennox Browne said that he never promised that Lord Gle rawley would be cured of stammering by the operation. Dr. Collier and other surgeons gave evidence as to the rea sonableness of the charges. The defense was that it was under stood that the operation would cure Lord Glerawley of stammering. It had not done so. Lord Annesley paid the two guineas for an assistant and ten guineas for the plaintiff, which brought the claim down to eighteen guineas. Sir Andrew Clarke said he would charge ten to fifteen guineas for such an operation. His honor said the evidence was en tirely against the defendant Plaintiff had said the operation took him three minutes, but thirty guineas was his charge. He must have a verdict for eighteen guineas, with costs. -N. Y. Journal. . SOME WORLD'S WONDERS. The most ' ancient catacombs are those of Egypt, over 4,000 years old.
