Pulmvru, Vu Dec. 16. Emily
Scott, aii old negro woman In tills

eral Interest. Thu fact that over
sight, bo to speuk, shu hiiH become a
millionairess, afloV bavfiig been a
poor and lowly working woinun all
her Ufa, bus mudu her an eight days'
wonder and hits given to her a promi
nence which ahe seems to enjoy im
mensely. Mm. Scott, who has lived here for
many years, has u Bon, Thomas, who
Is of mature age and making a living
by doing odd jobs. Recently John
Howies Planiiagun, an old negro, and
tlio father of Mrs. Scott, died In the
west, having just come Into possession
of property In the city of Omaha,
Neb., valued at J 1,000.000, after a
long drawn out litigation In the Ne
braska courts. He was 114 years old
at the time of his death and did not
live long enough to enjoy the wealth,
which fortunes had suddenly thrown
Inot his lap!
The properly involved consists of
several city blocks In the heart of
Omaha and was given to Flannagan
by an adventuress for whom he had
worked several years without compen

village of 14 houses.
COLORS IX CATTLE.
Rmd, White and Rnan Favorite Ooioni
in Shorthorns.
Amongst the niceties of breeding
that have to be duly considered is the
quiiallon of color, says tho Chicago
Livestock World. How difficult It Is
at all times of control may be gauged
by the number of articles on the sub
ject that appear from time to time In
tlio agricultural press. An otherwise
exoellont animal may be entirely
marred by an unorthodox mark or
splash of color that. Innocuous In It
self, enormously detracts from the
beast's value, and may. Indeed, rea
der It unsaleable as a pedigree ani
mal. Ill whole-colored breeds there Is
not the samo difficulty as In breeds
of varied colors. In which fashion is
liable to change capriciously; t,ut
' even In the former It is not all plain
sailing.
In Devcms while Is admissible about
the udder, but it must not extend for
ward beyond the navel, nor be found
od the oatside of the flanks, and If
an Aberdeen-Angus shows broad
marks of white, as sometimes hnp
pons, it becomes useless as a repre
sentative of tho breed. The stately
Hereford has not always been the
"white-face" amongst our cattle;
fashion has made It such, for In times
gone by the breed included mottled
faces and grey body color, and the
extent of the markings defined today
by usage may In the future He modi
fied. A hundred yeors ago tho Ayrshlres
were much more mottled than now.
and even black markings were allow
ed. In the Highland cattle there is a
great diversity of colors, and black,
once the favorite, seems to have given
way to yellowish hues.
In Shorthorns the red, white, and
roan there Is abundant scop for
tasto and fancy, hut fashion, that
autocratic damp, now and again
roughly Interferes.
Just now Chill Is asking for red
cattle, and Argentina for dark blood
rods or dark roans, and these coun
tries especially the latter, strongly
support 1he markets, other colors are
In loss reiiuest. White, ns a ground
work for roan, Is not objected to, bwt
yellow reds, light ronns, and red and
whites are by sniie breeders desig
nated "bad colors."
Yet two of the most noted Short
horns of old would thus have been
banned, fr Comet 155 was n light
Toan, and Kates' Duchess 1st a red-and-whltel
Whites havo never been
very popular. White must be a very
persistent color, or, In the face of
this prejudice, It would havo been
bred out long ago.
Probably It is that the Shorthorns
have a way-back strain of the wild
whllo cattle In their composition that
has a tendency to show lUelf at odd,
unexpected times. Not that Short
horns are the worse for it, for all our
broods must strain back to the wild
rattle.

ach and liver trouble, but at last I
won, and cured my diseases, by the
use of Electric Bitters. I unhesitat

FRIVOLITY IN ENGLAND.
A Claim That It Is What Reallr
Keeps ,Oie Nation lane.
Which Is worse to be too serious or
too fiivolomV I have no doubt about
tho matter myself, so fur as individuals
uro concerned, though all extremists
are bores. The perpetually lively,
feather brained, pleasure crazpd crea
ture U uliuost. It not quite, us Irritating
ns the deadly serious Individual. But,
ipropos of the accusation recently
lodged ugainst us that us u nation we
are becoming too frivolous, oue cannot
help saying lli.'it we are a great dcul
livelier than we weru a few years ugo,
nud for this relief assuredly wo have
cause to he thankful.
In consequence we ure accused of
having liecoiue loo frivolous. It seems
to me that we have Just got mutters
nicely balanced. This Is au age when
wo arc prepared to be cranks on the
slightest provocation. People crave for
missions, they wallow In philanthropy,
they pounce with avidity on new re
ligious, they will plunge luto politics
or wrlto uttucks on women, society,
the degeneracy of the ago, or anything
else Unit gives them an opportunity of
airing what they cull their views. So
surely. If dcslpcro In loco were not oc
casionally to bs permitted to us. It Is
fearful to think what we should be
come. Our frivolity Is tho antidote to
tho twentieth century disposition to
wurd crankiness. It really keeps us
sane. London World.
THE HOODED COBRA.
It la Venerated In India as the On
acred Serpent.
Of all the snakes of India the nagn,
nag or hooded serpent, commonly
known as the cobra, alone Is sacred. It
la called the good snake, and Is con
sidered a protector and harbinger of
success. The veneration of the cobra
Is Intimately connected with the wor
ship of the sun, and Is thus closely re
lated to the orthodox Hindoo religion.
According to the Mahabharata, the
heavea over which India ruled waa
mainly Tenanted by Devaa and Nagas,
the former being deified heroes of tlx
Aryas and the latter those of tne Naga
people on earth.
Although wars continued for a long
time to be frequent between vivas
chiefs of Uie Invaders (Aryas) and the
lavaded (Nagus), a gradual fusion be
tween the two peoples took place, and
beaven was shared equally by Icvas
and Nugaa. The serpent gods are wor
shiped bow, as they were then, not as
dangerous reptiles, nor aa mere sym
bols, but aa the deliled rulers of uu
auclent people, whose tribal, or, rather,
perhaps, racial, emblem was the uiigu,
or hooded serpeut, aud wtiose chief
deity was the sub; hence the Naga
temples arc not dedicated to the ser
pent, hut to the Nagn rnjalw, the an
cient rulers of the race.
SOCIAL SPONGING.

In Laadas.
There Is probably un city In the
world where them is se much social
ponging done as In London. At their
big functions hosts aud hostesses have
frequently not tho remotest acquaint
ance with many of the people who at
tend them and whose cheek la only ex
reeded by their voracity. "I have one
particular case In memory." says a
writer In the Ronton Herald, "where a
woman brought fifty of her friends.
It was at the bouse of a millionaire.
the Hon. Glln Vivian, lu Eaton square,
On the same occasion nearly every one
else brought herself, her family and
all ber friends. It was a never to be
forgotten gathering. Many people nev

provided for shoot tliree or four hun

were sitting about in the bedrooms eat

could grab from the supper table aud

and riotous that they Invaded the wine
cellar and the larder."
French Origin at "Save the Hlus."
The British national anthem la of
French origin. The Petite Itepubllquc
asserts thut the words of "God Suve
the King" ore a literal translation of a
hymn In honor of Louis XI V, chanted
toy the young girls In residence at the
convent of fit Cyr.
The French words of this byma were:
Grand Pleu, sauves le roll

He music of this chant was copied

dry comment of the speaker, "they

Notes und Queries.
An Odd Old Custom.
Citizens of Uio old Bo.oushire town
of Houlton, In England, uro Immune
from arrest until sunset one, evening

Uio arm of the law Is powerless. Thl
Is In continuation of a quaint und pic
turesque ceremonial which lias beeo
handed dowu from the time of Henry
III. When the horse fair begins the
town crier, In the gorgeous dress of n
beadle of the last century, appears car
rylug a pole, at the end of which U a
largo gilt glove decked with flowers
Having rung his handbell three times,
the crier, lu bis three cornered bnt, an

la begun; the glove Is up; no man cuu
be arrested till the glove Is down. God
save Uie king." Each sentence Is cho

set Qualities UnlUte In the Sexes.
"A man Is a man down to his thumbs
and a woman Is a woman down to her
little toes," writes Dr. navellck Kills
In his book "Men and Women." There
la hardly a measurable quality of any
sort which Is not unlike In tlio two
sexes. Women even button their gar
ments un the other side from that cho
sen by men and choose Sunday Instead
of Monday as their favorite day for
making way with themselves. So far
as laboratory tests go Dr. Ellis says
that women are unquestionably su
perior In general tactile sensibility and
probably suiierior In the discrimination
of tastes, with no advantage either
way lu the rasa of tlio other senses.
