Lafaryette'an Granu t ofr Land. No man was eveti more highly honor. ed in this country than Lafayette dur ing 'his second visit. In 1825 he came as the guest of the nation, remained over a year, and during that time vias ited every one of the twenty-four States which then composed the Un ion, and was everywhere received with popular enthusiasm. In consideration of his services during the revolutionary war Congress voted him a grant of $200,000, and in addition to that 24,000 acres of land, to be located by him anywhere among the unappropriated lands belonging to the national goe. ernment. His 6Sth birthday was spent at the White House. After his visit he sailed for France in the Brandywine, and in 1834 died in Paris. Some Idea of what it costs Grest lritain to keep up some of its colonies may be had from the report on Bermn. da.

Jose Marla, a Spanish bdgand who bad received pardon of the goverumeu on condition that he renowmced his ex- l citing and unlawful profession, used to tell most entertadinig stortle of his past.

He will be best remembered in Chicago, however, as the founder of Evanston, which bears his name, the organize r and endower o! the Northwestern Uni r;ersity, .the builder of the Fort Wayne end Chicago Railroad, the patron and largely the organizer of the Chicago public school system, and a shrewd, ju. a!cious and public-spirited member of the Common Council. Dr. Evans was a l.ower in the early days of Chicagou and to his excellent counsels much ol uis prosperity is due.

Brewer says: "It is almost verbally copied from Sthe Mosaic law. After the restoration a of Charles II., 'Presbyterian true blue' - became a term of derision applied to anything which smattered of Puritan. ism, and 'blue laws' simply meant puri. tanical laws, or laws with a blue tinge. These laws inflicted the penalty of death for worshiping any god but the God of the Bible; for speaking disre spectfully of the Bible, Christ or the Holy Ghost; for witchcraft, theft, false swearing and disobedience to parents."

In spite of the reward the fat aI and the prospective fortune from the are no 1y solution of the puzzle no one could Jews. r' make anything of it, until a French- a half Lie man named M.

Now spiders' web silk is an as- perse we sured fact, and the industry will prob- Turke n ably be a thriving one in the near fu- who a re ture, provided the spiders do not take bors, as to the woods under this new form of Mohai u" brigandage. ate me a M.

The spider will always good the 8S naturedly unwind himself as long as and tl re the pulling power that draws the web The from him keeps up the strain. M. cassia a Cachot designed a machine containing most the diminutive bobbins,kept constant- fact tl al ly revolving by a delicate running Lazes gear. By means of this machine he Ledgi solved the great problem of how to he wind the thread. All former efforts to tb wind the web had been made after the be spider had spun it, in the way they e had wound the silk of the silk worm. But the spider's web being much finer litt than that of the silk worm, every at- aini tempt to wind it had resulted only in a hopeless tangle, the breaking of the Lagte ell thread, and finally in exhausting the Blaci patience of the experimenter. M.

To M. Cachot's great delight he on tl lare found that the spider seemed to enjoy yearl he the process, and did not pull harder bills o8 than was necessary to keep the web The rge moving. The tiny thread continued at on to wind off on the bobbin until the the a spider had been completely deprived Th of its web. Then another spider, and his i still another were treated in the same from ti. way, until enough thread had been the u wound off to fill the bobbin, when a t new one was put on the machine and er edi the process repeated. When a suffi- pat cient quantity of the web had been a e collected to make a thorough test of ach 1 its fitness for manufacturing purposes stain Sthe thread was woven into fabric. Itwere n was foundto be the finest quality of sion rard silk, and experts to whom it was sub- inga d at mitted declared it to possess a partic- the ang ularly high market value. orw M.

AVERTED DIGESTION. Lews Veal but More Greebacks-Costly Calrs Meal. Treasurer Morgan recently received a little wooden box from Texas con taining a wad of what appeared to be fragments of United States bills. Later in the day a letter from J. Blacingame of a small town near Galveston, Texas, arrived at the tress ury department, which explained the contents of the box. The wad of green paper is all that is left of $210 owned by Mr. Blacingame, which he rescued from the stomach of a yearling r calf. It seems that the Texan recent ly sold a herd of cattle, for which he recived $470 in bills as follows: One $100, one $50 and sixteen $20 bills. W He placed the money in an ordinary memorandum pocketbook,but the bills were in such a position that the ends G a stuck beyond the edge of the book. bo Blacingame carelessly threw his coat on the ground in a cow lot, and a s Y yearling coming along saw the green - r bills and proceeded to devour them. The animal took in the entire bunch at one mouthful and was discovered in the act of chewing Blacingame's $470. The Texan, with the assistance of 3 his brother, succeeded in recovering from the mouth of the calf thirteen of the $20 bills in a comparatively unin Sjured condition. This money was af terward passed off by Blacingame in payment for some cattle. The calf was shortly killed, and from its stom ach was taken a mass of chewed bills, stained and discolored. The fragments Swere boxed up and sent to the divi f sion of the treasury department. Blac " ingame prepared a sworn statement of the disappearance of his money and e forwarded it to Treasurer Morgan. E e The latter had the case examined and Sfound the facts to be as stated.

S A Joke on a Phrenologist. a The jokes that practical jokers play in upon wise men are sometimes m a ill funny as they are elaborate. A case m in point is said to have occurred some is years ago in England when a humor k loving individual who rejoiced in the ill possession of a fine vegetable garden x- found therin one evening a large tur. of nip. It so happened that this partic of ular turnip was marvelously like in y. its shape to a man's head and bore s at very decided resemblance, too, to the Sfeatures of a man. The joker, per 3g ceiving a fine chance to make a point th and struck by the curious resemblance of the turnip, had a cast made of it, and sent the cast to a phrenologist, requesting him to examine its bumps and to make a report. After sitting in judgment upon the Scast for some time, the phrenologist, Sso the story goes, reported that while ad he could not judge accurately from ,u- the cast, it was his opinion that it was ns the head of a person of acute mind an and deep research; that he had the ng organ of quick perception and also of stperseverance well developed, and that as there were signs that he was also a b he person of extreme credulity. This I 00 opinion was sent by mail, and the l nl- phrenologist expressed, in closing,the X. hope that at some time he might have ny the privilege of examining the head U itself. of The reply was sent that the owner u i. would gladly comply with this re in quest,bnt that unfortunately he-could" ire not do so, since the original had been | as eaten by himself and his family sy-I gh eral weeks before with their mutton| r. at dinner. fe, iWhat the fihrenologist thought of J nd the reply is .not stated.--.Harper's w.
