The Descending 8calt
"The first letter John ever wrote to
me," wild a married woman to her
friend, "was shortly after we had be
come acquainted and before there wa
really anything like an understanding
between us. This is the way he signed
It:
"Tonn. my dear Miss Weeton, most
sincerely,
. JOHN HAMILTON EASTON.
"There, you see, were ten words
enough for a telegram Just to bring a
commonplace friendly letter to an end.
But after we became engaged his first
tetter to me was signed in this way:
"Yours, my darling, affectlonatelv."
, JOHN.
"That, yon will observe, was a re
duction of SO per cent from his conclu
sion as a mere friend. The first letter
he ever wrote to me after we were
married was signed:
"Yoars, JOHN."
She stopped for a moment and
sighed and then continued:
"We have been married seventeen
years now. Yesterday I received a let
ter from him. Here is the way it was
signed:
"J."
Settled the Duel.
Lord March, afterward the Marquis
of Queensberry, was not accustomed
to view a duel with unbecoming ap
prehension aud usually attended .an
affair with an air of enjoyment that
often was decidedly displeasing and
embarrassing to his adversary. But
he was served at last with that sauce
which the proverb explains is for the
gander as well as for the goose. It
was when he was challenged to fight
an Irish sportsman. Lord March ap
peared on the ground accompanied by
a second, surgeon nnd other witnesses.
His opponent arrived soon afterward
with a similar retinue, but added to
by a person who staggered under the
weight of a polished oak coffin, which
he deposited on the ground, end up,
with its lid facing Lord March and bis
party. Lord March became decidedly
uncomfortable when he read the in
scription plate, engraved with his own
name and title and the date and year
of death, and peace was patched op.
Scaring the Conscience.
Of all ber curious customs London
cannot boast of a more singular one
than that formerly so strictly adhered
to at Holland H?use, one of the most
historic old mansions in the British
capital. The last of the Lords Holland
shot himself during a fit of despond
ency. Everything pointed to a clear
case of self murder,' yet the Holland
family could never be dissuaded from
the notion that the old man had been
murdered by some unknown assassin.
Accordingly every night to- years it
was the custom for one of the family
to go to the rear of the house punctu
ally at 11 o'clock and fire a gun for the
purpose, it Is said, of "scaring the con
science" of the murderer. This curi
ous practice is a relic of mediaeval
days tn continental Europe, and the
case in point is probably the only in
stance where it has been noticed since
the days of the crusades.
Earlv in the coming week Trofes
sor O'Cinrn will call a meeting of the
fruit iu.-pectors of Jackson county
for the purpose of undertaking in
earnest the campaign for the full
and wiiiter in Jackson county or
chards. Datu is to be gathered nnd
tabulated, and a complete census
taken of every orchard, . which will
give the number, variety and condi
lion of every tree. ' A systematic
study and classification will result
The new office of Professor O'Onra
will be readv for his occupancy on
Saturday and during the afternoon
fruit men of the valley are invited to
call upon him.
Pigeons' Air Sacks.
The air sacks of the niceon eavi i
Bruno Mullcr, constitute a system of
Interspaces the value of which lies in
their emptiness that Is, absence of '
weight and resistance. Flying Is pos- i
Bible only to a body of high median- '
leal efficiency, and we attain this with
rhachlnes divested of all superfluous ;
material. Just so the original reptiles, !
Which by evolution became birds, were '
divested of superfluous material, nnd ;
the body spaces thus obtaihed were
filled with nlr sacks. The body wall,
adapting Itself to the mechanical re- i
quircments, became a hollow cylinder
serving as a support for the organs of
movement, the mobility of whose parts
was assured by the surrounding air
sacks. The uir cavities in the bones of
birds are similarly explained.
"J once shaved a man," replied the
second ditto, i
"Well?" i !
"Well, then I persuaded him to have
a hair cut singe, shampoo, face mas
sage, sea foam, electric buzx, tar spray
and finally a tonic rub." ,
"What then?" . -
"By that time," concluded barber
No. 2, "he needed another ebave."

Live Spiders Food For Young Wasps.
The young of some wasps can live
only on live spiders, and the mother
wasp therefore renders the spider
powerless by her sting, after which it
can live a month, and then deposits It
in the cocoon where she has laid her
egg. On hatching out the wasp grubs
feed on the bodies of the living spi
ders. Another wasp deposits her egg
In the body of the spider, which is
then burled alive and is fed upon by
the wasp grub. London Standard.

Some Consolation,
A detective ouce said it was all
wrong to suppose that the professional
housebreaker works with coolness and
calculation. On the contrary, he usual
ly works in terror and haste, takes too
much swag from one room and too
little from another and sometimes over
looks the silver in carrying off the
electro. London Saturday Review.
