MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS.

This screen 'the wtork of Quern. Anne,
Wka presented byher majesty to Rt.
Hon. Richard Hitt embassador to the
court of Turin? 1703," came under the
hammer in Shrewsbury at the eale of

What are -enid -to be the twd oldest
vessels irf the 'merchant aervice in the'
United States-arrived at Calais, Me.,
together a few days ago. They are the
Polly, a schooner" of eighty-four tons,
built in-1805, and the schooner Hiram;
built in 1819.' The Folly is the vessel
that captured a British brig at Machias
1n the war of 1812.
1 A - six-year-old r German ' boy ar
rived in Santa Crua, Cal., recently, hav
ing made the entire trip from Bremen
to that place alone. He wore a tag
bearing the' name- and address of hia
California friends and had a ticket to
San Francisco. He says he received
great attention and the utmost kind
ness from everybody during the jour
ney. The story of the phenix is a com
mon superstition in' several countries.
According' to' the' ancient end best ac
cepted letters the world has' but one
phenix. This animal, at the end of 900
years, burns itself to death in a funeral
pyre of its own erection, and as soon
as it expires another phenix with
wings outstretched rises from the
flames.
A great many persons firmly be
lieve that anta do not sleep. This
superstition arises from the fact that in
moonlight nights' during" the summer
ants have Often ' been seen' at work
about their nests. People of almost all
nations have believed that ants lay up
food for the winter. The alleged fact
is mentioned many times in ancient
and modern literatures, and is directly
stated in the Book of Proverbs. They
do no such thing. During the winter
they remain in a torpid or semi-torpid
condition, reviving' under-the genial
warmth of the spring sun.
The bicycle has taken Holland,
and the state railroads have had to
determine what they shall do with it.
Unpacked and accompanied by the
rider they will take it as personal bag'
gage for the sum of seventy cents
equal to twenty-eight of eon.' This
is for any distance, bttt you can't go
tar in jiouana unless you go
round and round. The . owner
must help ' take it on and oft
the baggage car, and transfer It from
one train to another where such is nec
essary; and the railroad will not be re
sponsible' for damage to an unpacked
wheel.
At Alexandria the Berapeum,
where the mat of the great public li
braries was preserved, waa recently
discovered by Dr. Bottl, director of the
Alexandrian museum. The column
that rose in the middle, visible from
the aea aa Well as from the land, he
identifies with Fompey's pillar. He
haa found the tank of the fountain
that stood in the central court and the
channels cut through the rock that led
the water to it, inscriptions of the time
of Hadrian and Beverus dedicated to
Serapis, bull of fine workmanship,
remains of gilded ornaments and a few
tombs.
AMERICAN CONSERVATISM.
the Pawar aad laOaaaaa of the gapreasa
. Coart ef tha tailed titatee.
The supreme court is not an elective
body, and I suppose that might seem to
the English radical a sufficient reason
for sweeping it away, saya the Nine- j
teenth Century. The judgea are ap
pointed for life by the president and
they are responsible to no popular tri
bunalnot even to public opinion.
They ait aa a court of pure law, the
final authority from which in all Amer
ica there is no appeal. Their jurisdic
tion, strictly defined though it be, is
coextensive with the whole union. It
is the one instance in history in which
popular sovereignty, acknowledged aa
supreme in the long run for every other
purpose and every other authority to
which it has delegated power, submits
to a master whom it did not appoint
and cannot remove and cannot escape.
Everybody submits; the states them
selves, sovereign as they still are tor
certain purposes, submit: congress and
the president, the army and navy, the
people themselves, all submit.
In the hands of the supreme court de
mocracy itself, if it seeks to pass an un
constitutional law, is powerless. A
unanimous vote of the people, a unani
mous vote of the house and senate and
the approval of the president would not
make a statute law if this tribunal says
it is not a law. But do vou ever hear
of a proposal to abolish the supreme
court? Why not? It is not only that
the court has been a great court of
great judges, its honesty and ability
and wisdom alike recognized, but be?
cause the American democracy has the
good sense to see that, under a written
constitution like that of the United
States, such a tribunal is essential to
the working of all its parts, and that,'
check and all-powerful check though it
be upon democracy, it is also a guar-'
anty to the American people that, in the
words of the preamble of their great
charter, justice shall be established
and the blessings of liberty preserved
to themselves and their posterity.

When up-country last year I heard
that thowrlnghea La 11, manager to
Lalla Muttra I'ershaud, was in Uwali
or on some temporary business, and I
called on him, aa an old friend, at a
place in the Lushkar whera lie waa re-
aiding.
We dlscusnea the action or govern
ruent In closing the mints, and I asked
his opinion aiHiut the possibility of
rola sunuard for India, and men
tioned the fact that certain members of
the Currency association considered the
fifty million pounds of gold would be
aufflclent to provide India with a gold
currency.
The Lalla laughed the idea to acorn,
and assared me that fifty mtllloa
pounds would not suffice to replace the
ailver hoards of even one stale.
"You know,-' he said, "how aailous
the lata Maharajah Seiadia waatoget

furtreae, over which llrltlah aeatlaals
had been walking f a boat thirty
years, never euamctlnf the wealth

Long before the llrltlah reveraaseal
gave beak the fortress, every one who
knew the eatraare Into the concealed
hoard waa dead, e ice pi one aaaa who
waa citremely old, and althoagh la
rood health he might have died any

If that had hspveaed. the treasure
might have been Imi to the owner for

How a Justice of tha Peace Mulcted Bi
cycle Riders.
"There's a justice of the peace In' a
country town not far from here," said
a bicycler to a Buffalo Express man re
cently, "who has a scheme that will
make him a millionaire if he sticks to it
for a year or two.
"You aee ' the town has an ordinance
forbidding bicycle riding on the side
walks. A good many wheelmen go
that way, so what doea this justice do
but scoop out a hole and make a great
big mud puddle clear across the street
right in front of his office. Of course,
when a wheelman cornea along, rather
than ride through the mud, he turns
upon the sidewalk. That's what the
justice la waiting for. He haa a con
stable on the watch, and the two rush
out and nab the cycler.
"I was caught in the anare one week.
Though I protested I only intended to
keep on the walk till I passed the rand,
it waa of no avail. I was fined five dol
lars and had to pay it. 1 got a chance
to look at hia book when he waa re
cording roy fine, and there was a rec
ord of some twenty wheelmen who
had been served the aame way that
day, and It waa still early In the after
noon.
It made me mad, and I began abus
ing the old fellow for having such
mud-puddle In the street.
" Why don't you fill It up? I asked,
if you want wheelmen to keep In the
road?'
"He grinned In a moet exasperating
manner, and answered without so much
as a blush:
" 'Upoae we're goin' to destroy such
a source of revenue aa that mudpuddle
is? I gurwa not. John,' turning to the
constable, 'you better take the hose and
eofU'U it up a little bit ready for the
next aucker."

The "Era of Julius Ceuaar" began
with the reformation of the calendar in
40 B. C. It prevailed in England for
civli purposes until 1752, then being
superseded by the Gregorian.
Several substances, whose odor ia
to western nostrils exceedingly re
pugnant, are highly esteemed in the
east aa perfumes. In Persia and
Afghanistan, asafoetida is considered a
delicate perfume, and many luxurious
persons carry a quantity or it in their
pockets or in a bag suspended from the
neck.
The door nail in earlier times, says an
antiquarian, was the plate of the door
upon which the old-fashioned knocker
struck to arouse the inmates of the
house. As the plate or nail was struck
many more times than any other nail
it was assumed to be more dead than
other nails. Hence the phrase; "Dead
as a door nail."
The skeleton of an Indian warrior
at least six feet six inches tall waa
found in Muscongus, Me., a few days
ago by two men who were digging a
cellar. The body had been buried in
a' sitting posture, facing east, ' and
about it were found iron Implements
and spear and arrow heads, while
around the arm bones - were copper
bands covered with curious carvings.
- A new bicycle tire, which is said to
be an improvement over those in gener
al use, haa been invented and patented
by Miss E. S. Hutchlns, of Big Rapids,
Mich. In the middle of the rim of an
ordinary style pneumatic rubber tire
is a groove, into which is fitted a smaller
tire of leather, which, it ia claimed, is
much more durable than the present
atyle of all-rubber tires while equally
elastio and light.
;. Several towns and cities in Oregon
and Washington have lately obtained
an excellent and adequate water sup
ply in an inexpensive manner by the use
of wooden pipes. The pipes are made
from common pine logs, ten Inches In
diameter, hollowed out with a six-inch
bore. It ia claimed that the wooden
pipes' last aa long aa iron plpea. One
town' baa a line of pipes seven miles
long that, with all connections, cost but
2.000.
Suits aggregating more than $S00,-
COO will soon be filed by the government
against certain big lumber companies
and turpentine distilleries in the lower
part of Alabama. The evidence abows
that from 2,300 acres of fine forest lands
belonging to the government 13,654
trees, yielding over S.OOO.OOO feet of
lumber, had been cut. The govern
ment authoritlea propose to stop the
depredations by bringing to account
tho concerns that buy the moonshine
lumber.
Some patriotic citizen of rreacott,
Arts., In lauding his town and state, and
descanting On the wonderful riches of
the region, declared that even the build
ings of Prescott were In part of gold.
He waa taken up on the assertion, and a
bet resulted. A few days sgo an assay
waa made of sandstone being used in
tbo erection of some new buildings, and
the atone showed four dollars per ton
In gold and 20 cents per ton in silver. It
wouldn't pay to mine the buildings of
Prescott, but the boomer won his bet.
AN AWFUL PREDICAMENT.
A Startling Onluloi at a Lae.de State
All waa in readiness for the luncheon
which M. Hanotaux, the foreign secre
tary, waa giving to the members of the
Metrical convention and Sir Joseph
Benala. About 12 o'clock the chief
steward bestowed a last look of proud
satisfaction at the harmonious set-out
of the table. All at once he shnddered,
at a poet might have done, in the final
revision of his proofs, at the discovery
of a printer's error that would have
horribly disfigured his latest sonnet.
"The menu cards!" he exclaimed,
"they have been forgotten; lay them
round at once; there's not a minute to
lose!"
Search was made for the bills of fare
on the sideboards in the dining-room,
in the butler's pantry, at the foreign
office, even in the minister's private
room. Not a trace of the menu cards
and the lord mayor might arrive any
moment! No such disaster had befallen
since the days of poor Vatel.
The fact was communicated to M.
Crozier with all the delicacy that the
circumstances demanded. Various pro
posals were submitted. At length it
was decided that all the functionaries,
great and small, who happened to be
present should be laid under requisi
tion; even the son of the hall porter
found himself pressed for the nonce
into the service of the'diplomatic corps.
The ink of the last copy was hardly
dry when the lord mayor entered the
banqueting hall. Honor was saved.
