A Quince Pkunk riiKB. While na ture has many freaks to record in Ore gen, the JouhnaIi now has one that It thinks Is a trifle ahead of any yet re ported. W. B. Blmpson In his orchard on the Bouth Balem hill has time Hun garian prune trees, about eigbt yearn old, that have borne several good crops of prunes the past few years. But this yoarth y are getting the start of them selves, and everybody else, by each of them beirlng some quinces. Every boJy knows it is impossible to graft a quince, or any other seed frult.outo the tree of a prune, a pitted fruit. Never theless the trees stand there at this writing with both varieties of fruit on their boughs, growing thriftily. The prunes are about ready to pick, but the quinces are not yet full grown. Mr. Blmpson has no quinces oi his place, although his neighbors have some, and some think It may have been possible for the prune blossoms to be fertilized by bees from the pollen of the quinces, but that would be a pomologlcni im possibility. Tho whole thing is a mon strosity, and Mr. Blmpson, aB well as many other hortlculturlstst would be under great obligations to any one who can explain it. He wlll'probably have tbe trees photographed, showing the two varieties of fruitgrowing on them, PitOFEsioNAij Ernies.

The plalutifls claim that the assessment should buve been made only for tbe actual work done on each lot, and ask for a rehearing on this point. On this subject, in his opinion Judge Bean cites sections 46, 47, 24, 25, 11, 12 and 38 of tbe city charter, and says: "It thus seems that the rulo for esti mating the costs 6f making the im provement in front of a lot or part thereof, and the proportionate share to be assessed thereon, is not prescribed by the charter but is left to the judgment and discretion of the council." "In such case an assessment by the front foot is held valid and constitu tional by numerous authorities." The plaintiffs in their pelltiou say: "We think sections 37, 39, 43, 44 and 46 of thecity charier have a direct bearinu upon the rule or mode of making local assessments for city improvements,anri should he considered in connection with tbe sections quoted by tbe court in determining the questiou as to the correct rule or mode of making local assessments. "Hence In view of the newness of this question inthif state end Its Importance to property owners, we deem It only proper that we should call the attention of the court to these Ave additional sections, and ask for a rehearing upon that point." DEATH BY AOOIDEN T. Young Man Takes a Fatal Fall Near Sublimity. A sad nccideut occurred near Sublim ity last Tuesday, which has since re sulted In the death of one of the partici pants. Mrs Rabous, who lives about four miles northeast of Sublimity, has a family of crown up children, most of whom live ou the place with her. Last Tuesday morning Henry, aged about 35 years, wasscullltug with hisouuger brother John, when ho tripped iu such a manner as to strike tho left side of his head and eye severely on the floor, from the efleots of which he was stunned. Dr. Kitchen was called aud at once saw that tiie young man was iu a pre carious condition, and said that there could be but very little hopes of-his re covery. He did for the young man what ho could, but the. patient kept growing weaker, until at a late hour In the night ho expired. The family, and especially the youn ger brother, John, are sorely grieved over tho terrlblo results of a playful misstep. They ore German people who came from Ohio some years ago, are ludustrlous, nnd one of the thrifty families of the settlement. The funeral was held today and the body was Interred near Sublimity.

I was induced by a friend, whom Brandreth's Pills had benefitted, o try them. Took two each night for i week, then oue every night for about six weeks. Since that time I have not experienced the slightest difficulty whatever, and my bowels move regu larly every day.

The clay of which the Tell Amarna tablets are composed differed greatly in different regions. Dr. Bczold says: "In color tho tablets vary from a light to a dark dust tint and from a flesh color to dark brick red Tho naturo of tho clay of which they aro made sometimes indi cates tho countries from which they come. No. 1, a draft of a letter from Amenophis HI to Kallimmasin, is mode of finely kneaded Nile mud. Others are of tho dark red clay which is met with in the north of Syria. Five of Ribadda's letters aio written on tho yellow clay which is common on the Syrian coast. The tablets from Shubandi, Widya and Shuardata contain fragments of flint." Of the shapo of tho tablet she says: "Tho greater number are rectangular, and a few are oval, and thoy differ in shape from any other cuneiform docu ments known to us. Some are flat on both sides, somo are convex on both sides, and somo aro pillow shaped. Compare the name given to such tablets by the Arabs, mekhadid or 'pillows.' " The tablet, having been kneaded into shape, was inscribed while the clay was damp by the use of a wooden stylo, and theobverso having been written tho tab lot was supported by some means whilo the back was in use. In the caso of somo cuneiform tablets, holes aro found in tho corners, which wero made by pin3 of wood, on which they rested, so as to pre vent the written surface from being ob literated whilo the reverse was being in scribed. But these pinholes do not seem to occur in the present collection. Some of the letters nro divided into paragraphs by ruled lines, which are, however, not always truly horizontal. The royal letters, which are the most carefully written, have well shaped sym bols in true horizontal lines, but many of the tablets from Syria seem to have been hastily written and are often very crooked. Tho care, however, that was taken by tho scribe 'is evidenced by the corrections which ho has introduced of unfinished words, to which a syllable or moro is added by insertions between tbe lines, while in other cases words, or even a whole line, have been erased by smoothing out tho writing, other signs having been substituted, or in some cases the space has been left blank. When, therefore, translators who have found difficulty in understanding what was written have supposed that the fault lay with tho carelessness of the original scribe, we can only regard such a supposition as indicating the self suf ficiency which is a common fault among a certain class of modern scholars, who aro convinced that if there bo any error it cannot bo their own. Edinburgh Re view. English Funeral Etiquette. There is ono division of English eti quetto which " strikes an American as worthy of note, and that is in connec tion with the dead. On tho day of a funeral every house in tho immediate vi cinity has tho blinds lowered until the last carriage has passed. Every boy is taught to lift his hat as the hearse goes by, whether it be tho funeral car of the noblo or tho pauper's hearse. During the interval between tho death and the time that the body is removed, often a week, no shouting must bo in dulged in by the children of the neigh borhood, and no games must bo played near tho desolated home. Tho merest acquaintance sends a card by a servant bearing a message of sympathy, but there is no intrusion upon the mourners ex cept by tho most intimate friends. Those who attend the funeral services always wear black gowns, bonnets and gloves, and nil letters of coudolenco must be written upon black edged paper and in closed in an envelope to match. English ladies do not go to the grave, though there havo been somo notable ex ceptions during the last few years in the cases of wives of prominent men. Their departure from the old custom is one of many indications that English women are preparing to take their rightful place in tho world that thoy are no longer content to be regarded as helpless crea turesbut may tho day bo far distant when they shall lose tho gentle courtesy which is tho charm of the English home. New York Times. An Intereitlujr Calculation. The ago of a person and tho month in which ho was born may bo discovered as follews: First you ask him to go to the other end of the room to prevent your Beeingwhathe is going to -write. Then you ask bim to put down the number of the month in which he was born and multiply it by 8, then add 5 to the Bum, and multiply the latter by 50; add his age to the product, then deduct 805, and add 115 to tho remainder. Supposohe is 49 years of age and was born in Feb ruary, the computation might stand thus; Two multiplied by 2 equals 4, plus 5 equals 9, mnltiplled by 50 equals 450, plus 4U equals 4U'J, minus Utu equals 184, plus 115 equals 249. The last two fig ures indicate the age vbi, 49 and tho first figure (2) February, tho second month of the year. ou niuiply ask the person to state the result of tho calcula tion and then declare that he was born in February and is 49 years of age.
