The following story of President Mo.- Cosh of Princeton, is told by the New- ark Call, and it is said it is vouched for by Princeton men: "The venerable “doctor was accustomed to lead the morning exercises in the chapel every day, and during the exercises he gave out the notices to the students. The closing exercise was a fervent prayer by the doctor. One morning, after he had read the notices as usual, a student came up with another notice that Pro- fessor Karge’s French class would be at nine o’clock that day instead of half- past nine, as usual. Dr. McCosh said it was too late, but the student insisted that Dr. Karge would be much disap- pointed if the notice were not read. The exercises went on, and the doctor ”forgot all about the notice. He started . tomake the final prayer. He prayed for the President of the United States, the members of the Cabinet, the Sena- tors and Representatives, the Governor chew Jersey, the Mayor and other of- ficials of ijrin‘ceton, and then came to the professors and instructors in the college. In the meantime Professor Karge’s notice came into his mind, and the assembled students were astonished to hear the venerable President. 'And. 0 Lord, bless Professor Karge, whose French class will be held this morning at nine o’clock instead of at half-past nine as usual.’ ” ODD, QUAINT AND CURIOUS. the The term “hand,” used in measuring horses, means four inches.

According to the statement of a gen- tleman from Mica, Jasper county can boast of a cave that may some day equal the well renowned Mamm 0th cave of Kentucky. The opening to the cave is situated on the farm of Squire Mc- Laurin. twelve miles from Mico. It has been explored for about a quarter of a mile, and gradually increases in magnitude. The opening is about four feet square, hollowed out of solid lime stone rock. Several exploring parties have enter- ed the cave and penetrated to the dis- tance named, ‘when, afraid of the strange sounds heard in the cave, they would turn back. The faintest whis- per can be heard with startling dis- tinctness, and when spoken loudly can be heard for several seconds echoed and re-eohoed. Not long since a party of three enter- ed the cave, taking lightwood torches with them. They had penetrated a short distance when some bats flew into the face of the torch bearer. From fright he threw the torch down, which was extinguished. Then a scramble for the Opening resulted in several bumped heads and muddy suits. Beautiful stalactites hang from the roof of the cave, and when viewed by torchlight look like millions of dia- monds. There is another opening four miles from the one named, and it is sup- posed to be a part of the same cave. A public road passes between the two caves, and at one point a rumbling sound can be heard, which goes to show that a subterranean cavern exists be. neath the road. -—Memphis Commercial Appeal. THINKS DANTE WAS INSANE. .A Learned Italian on the Author of the Divine Comedy. Following in the footsteps of a learned Frenchman, an equally erudite Italian has now practically proclaimed to the world that Dante Alighieri was a luna- tic. Dr. Durand Fardel is the French- man responsible for this assertion. which was made a long time ago. 1* has been revived, with variations and additions, by no less a person than Prof. Lombroso, who has abandoned the study of criminals of the present in order to diagnose the mental condition of great men of the past. It was said long since by. a father 01 the Church that there is no genius un tinged with an admixture of madness; but, according to Prof. Lombroso, Dante was subject to epileptic fits; and Dr. Durand Fardel sees in the visions of hell, heaven and purgatory the result of a maniac‘s dreams. Prof. Lombroso further expatiates on the irascibillty, the inordinate vanity, and the 'violent character of the Flor- entine poet; and, according to a. French writer who has broached the subject, it is “henceforward evident to every- body that Dante was flt for the strait waistcoat.” All this, however, will . not rob the genius who was supposed to have seen the hell of his immortality.

NO AFFIDAVIT WITH THIS.~ What 3 Gray Parrot Taught, 10,000 Green Paroquets. A correspondent forwagds us an in- teresting personal experience of a friend of his. The traditional fish story has many varieties, to which it seems only fair to add the following, even though the fish in this case was a parrot. This friend, an artist, was very fond of ex- ploring out-of-the-way quarters of the world, and once left ship with a party of-comrades in order to explore a Cen- tral American wilderness. During the cruise of several months, the entire ship’s company" had devoted their leisure hours to singing to a par- rot. The sailors had also lost no oppor- tunity of teaching the bird all the nau- tical phrases they knew. When the ar- tist and his comrades had hidden the bird and the sailors good-by. they plunged into the heart of the tropical forest, and, after great exertion in ac- complishing twenty-eight miles, they reached their camping place for the night. Just as the sun was going down they were startled to hear in the primeval silence a familiar voice from the top of a tall palm. “Avast there! Yo, heave ho l” It was the ship’s parrot. Before they could quite believe in its presence the faithful bird fluttered down to a dead stump near by and with a shrill cry summoned the little green paroquets of the country. About 10,000 of them circled round ~. the great gray African oracle on the stump, and finally took their places, in good order, on the ground. The ex-' plorers looked on in dumb amazement. When the feathered assembly became quiet the ship’s parrot broke into the familiar words of “Ta-ra-ra-boom-de— ay,” and to the surprise of the tropical world, and the delight of the feathered conductor, those 10,000vparoquets, with one mighty burst of song, executed “Ta-ra-ra-boom- de-ay. ”—Pittsburg Dis- patch. -- COURTING IN THE TRANSVAAL. How the Plilegmatic Boers Select Their \Vives. The Boers marry very young. On attaining the age of 20 a youth begins to look out for a partner in life. Balls and similar opportunities of introduc- tion are unknown in the country; the young peasant accordingly I'Izounts his horse and rides from farm to farmto select a bride from the daughters of the land. You can tell from a distanc what he is after. His woolen shirt is adorned with a clean collar, perhaps a necktie as well. His boots of untanned leather have been polished with particular care; his broad-brimmed felt hat is trimmed with anew band of pale-blue silk, and a new bright-colored rug is placed un- der his sari-rile. Away he gallops to the next farm, where he dismounts, drinks a few litres of coffee, smokes a dozen pipes, tak :5 three meals with the fami- ly, devours the daughters with his eyes, and talks as little as possible. After sundown, when the lights have been brought into the room and the family are preparing to retire to rest, he plucks up courage and asks the mother to allow Minnie, or whatever the sec lected one’s name is, to stay up with him a little longer. Permission is at once granted; Min- nie bashfully re-enters the parlor, puts a lighted candle on the table, sits down in one corner and says nothing. Her suitor sits in another Corner, smokes, expectorates, and says not a word. Nevertheless Minnie, sly puss as she is, has contrived to let her admirer know whether she likes him or not, by the size of the candle. The longer it is, the longer they may sit up together! Next morning the Boer saddles his horse and rides ofl’. to another farm, where the same process is gone through, and so on until he has made up his mind which of the girls he will have. Where- upon he rides back to her farm, again sits up half the night, and, without wasting many words. makes her an offer, which is very seldom rejected. The wedding is celebrated - on the fol- lowing Sunday.—Lokal-Anzeiger. He Had the Dust. The day before the last steamer left Juneau, Texas, a middle aged man,who refused to give his name, arrived at Juneau from the Yukon mining region with 82 pounds of gold dust. He had worked along for three years with the above result. He packed the dust on his back all the way to Juneau, where he came to arrange for shipping to San Francisco. He also gave as one reason for coming to Juneau that he wanted to see the outside world. He did not ' accompany his wealth south, but will return at once for another three years’ pilgrimage after gold. A Quaint Coon.

Gun. derman of Dimondale, Mich., we are permitted to make this extract. “I have no hesitation in recommending Dr. King’s New Discovery as the results were almost marvelous in the case of my wife. While I was pastor of the Baptist Church at Rives Junction she was brought down with. pheumonia, succeding La Grippe. Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last hours with little interruption and it seemed as if she could not survive them. A friend recommended Dr. King’s New Discovery; it was quick in its work and highly satisfactory in its results.” Trialbottles tree at E. P. Weed’s Drug Store, Norwalk, and Monroe’s, New Ca- naan.

The people have long since learned that the most disagreeable medicines are not nec- essarily the best. In fact, as a rule, they are not. What is wanted is something mild and sure, such as Chamberlain’s Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy. That is really pleasant to take when reduced with water and sweetened. Then it is acknowledged everywhere to be the most successful remedy in the world for bowel complaints. Ask any number of druggists for the best remedy they have for diarrhoea and fully nine out of ten will recommend Chamberlain’s. In speaking of this medicine, Mr. B. B.
