X WELL AND A POET.
And an Unanswerable Argument In a
Suit at Lw.
Among the uiuuy anecdotes told of
Joseph Viktor von Sclieffel. the Ger
man poet and novelist, the following
from Taglkhe ituudsetmu in one of tho
most amusing:
In u place where Sclieffel once lived
there was u luck of good drinking wa
ter. One day a well driver lu the
neighborhood proposed that the poet
allow blni to drive a deep well for
him Seheffel accepted tils offer, but
only 011 the i-ouditlou that ..after the
water hud been druwu it be found
drinkable. The well driver completed
bis work, but all that the pump would
deliver was a thick yellow liquid, so
the poet refused to pay for the work.
Finally the matter wa brought be
fore the court, and the poet and well
driver stood side by Hide before the
judge to present their respective cases.
Both argued their sides so well that
the magistrate was plainly puzzled to
know which was actually right In the
matter.
At length, weary of the affair. Schef
fel said: "Veil. I'll give in and pay for
the well and the court expenses, too,
but on one condition. My opponent
shall, before our eyes, take a drink of
the water from the well lu question."
The poet then drew from his hip pock
et a Uusk of dirty yellow water and.
after extracting the cork, passed It
over to the well driver One glnnce
was enough lie thrust the buttle aside
with 11 disgusted look and strode out of
the courtroom with an augry growl.
Origin of the Periwig.
The periwig, which played so Impor
tant a pnrt in the toilet of a man of
fashion during pnrt of the seventeenth
and eighteenth centuries, owed Its ori
gin to Louis XIV. of France. When a
little boy (he succeeded to the throne
at five years of agei he possessed a pro
fusion of remarkably beautiful waving
hair which fell In clustering curls over
his shoulders. The courtiers Imitated
the boy king by having bends of false
hair to Imitate his natural locks, and
when Louis grew up he adopted the
periwig himself.
During the reign of William and
Mary periwigs were worn In exagger
ated dimensions, nnd the beaux used
j to comb their wigs in public with spe
cial combs of Ivory nnd tortoise shell,
which became at last quite Indispen
sable to these fine geutlemeu.

Selim the Grim.
Sultan Yawuz Selim (Selim the Grim)
is certninly not a pleasant Turkish
potentate to recall. When he created
bis secretary Mohammed grand vizier
the poor man had to be bastinadoed
Into accepting the honor. For "Mayst
thou be Sellm's vizier!" was a well
understood equivalent of the time for
"Strike you dead." Sellra loved litera
ture, however. The poem which his
brother wrote, in the hour's grace
granted before he was strangled wltb
every other possible rival to Selim.
moved the sultan to tears Rut it did
not save the poet. Loudon Chronicle.
