A ROYAL RIDDLE.

Perhaps Historians Can Identify Thia English King Richard. A traveler who recently returned from Italy propounded the other night a conundrum, which perhaps some deeply learned historian can solve. He said: “In the city of Lucca, about fifty miles northeast of Leghorn, stands the Church of St. Fredlan, ahd in it is a tomb bearing the following inscription: “Here lies King Richard, a scepter bearer and kind. He was king of England and held the sovereignty of Poland. He gave up his sovereignty. For Christ he relinquished all. Therefore, in Richard, England has given to us a saint. He was the progenitor of St. Wulburga the Virgin, St Viril'lebajd and St. Vinebald, by whose sufferance she soveielgnty of Poland may be given us. “It is in Latin, of course, but the attempt at translation is substantially correct. Now, who was this Richard? The first Richard, king of England, died at the siege of Chains, In Normandy, from the arrow of Bertrand Gourdon and lies buried in the Fonteorault abbey, Normandy. The second English King Richard was deposed by Lancaster and murdered in the castle of Pontefract. His tomb Is in Westminster abbey. “There was only one other English King Richard, and it is known that he met his fate upon the field of Bosworth. His body was buried in the Greyfriars church, as directed by his conqueror, Richmond. "These are tne only King ot England known to history, and none of them fills the bill. None was king of Poland, nor, as far as I can remember, was any. other English monarch. Nor was any one an ancestor of the saints with remarkable names, through whose favor the people of Lucca expected to get the Polish kingdom. The legend they tell you in Lucca is that this King Richard died there while on a pilgrimage to Rome. “Now, who was he? Somebody is buried in that tomb, and the people who wrote the inscription evidently did it in good faith. Who was the gentleman who, posing as the king of England and Poland, died and was buried at Lucca? Can it be that some

impostor played a trick on the good people of the fair Italian city and got a monument and the title of saint by so doing? Or is ft my historical knowledge that Is at fault?” “Well,” replied the antiquarian, “the question is certainly a puzzler. A singular fact is that John .Evelyn, a man full of curious learning, a scholar and an Oxford man, mentions this tomb in his ‘diary,’ simply saying that ‘St Fredian’s is remarkable to us for the corpse of St. Richard, an English king who died here—that is, at Lucca. He makes no comment, evidently taking the fact as one well known to history. But I confess I am inclined to think somebody played a mediaeval joke upon the good monks of St. Fredlan. However, perhaps some one can explain.” —New York Post.

The Spread of English.

If language is a true measure of conquest, as has been contended, then Anglo-Saxon speech is rapidly conquering the continent according to the investigation of a contributor to Harper's Weekly. An Anglicism Introduced into Italy a few years ago created little short of a literary tumult in Rome. The first subway in the Eternal City, a short passage under the Quirinal hill, was opened to the public, who promptly christened it “11 tunnel.” The patriotic indignation was awakened. “Tramway” had been accepted, but angry professors nnd students besieged the Roman papers, demanding to know what had become of “traforo” or “galleria,” good Italian words, and where this English madness was to end. Nevertheless “11 tunnel” thus far holds its own.

Last Home of Eider Duck.

At present there is but one breeding place of the eider duck in the United States. That is Old Man’s island, situated in the town of Cutler, in Maine. It is one and one-half miles east of the Cross Island life saving station and was leased by the state with the understanding that it was to be used for the protection, propagation and preservation of all wild birds. The state, through the efforts of the Audubon society, is trying to preserve three species of wild fowl—the eider duck, the puffin and the laughing gull—from extermination In Maine. Their eggs are large and very palatable and highly prized by fishermen for food.—Kennebec Journal.

Bees and Boys.

In many of the California apiaries boys are being employed almost altogether to take care of the bees. It is only in swarming time that other help is needed. After a little experience a boy can care for many hives, and it is said that they are not stung as often as the men. It has been figured up that a farmer’s boy who is given five hives of bees to begin with and who will work industriously can make more money in ten years than his father can on a farm of IGA acres. Clover honey brings a good price, and the market is always short of it—Philadelphia Telegraph.

Useless Veto.

When Judge Nathaniel Ewing was examining a class of applicants for naturalization •in the United States district court recently he propounded this question of a son of the fatherland to learn what he knew of our tagtslative system: "When a bill that has passed conCss te vetoed by the president, what »mes of It?” Hie Teuton wasn’t, Quzzled for an l|ptent. *He has to pay It just the same,” he ■■Med. fte will wait awhile for hls final papers.—Cleveland Leader.

HE DOESN’T FORGET. Frederick w. Story of Baltimore Has a Wonderful Memory, Those who know Frederick W. Story, the Baltimore lawyer, do not regard it as remarkable, says the Baltimore Sun, that he was able to reproduce from memory the will of his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth B. Story, who died some years ago. Mr. Story wrote the will from his recollections of it after having read the document, and his draft has been sent to the probate court of Middlesex county, Mass., to be set up in lieu of the original will, which has been lost. His associates in the city solicitor’s office frequently call upon him for a name or a date, and he has scarcely been known to fail to give the desired information. Some of those who know him say he never forgets anything be reads or sees. He has at his fingers’ ends all the important decisions of the court of appeals and can mention the title of any' case in which a point that may be at issue has been decided. He admits that he may have forgotten some things, but be can repeat the name of every member of the house of Plantagenet, the names of the kings and queens of England and France and the rulers of many other countries, with the dates and duration of their terms. He can repeat also the names of the presidents of the United States with the years in which they served, but be says every one should be atile to do that.

Although he has, ot course, not been at school for years, he can repeat pages of Virgil and Homer, and probably could repeat nearly the entire Book of Common Prayer of the Episcopal church, of which he Is a warden. Mr. Story is a student of genealogy and history and has a vast fund of information on those subjects. From memory be can draw the map of almost any country on the globe. When he was five years old he started to school, and the first day he was promoted to the first class, but was put back because of his lack of knowledge of geography. That lack he has since supplied. He continued at school until he was graduated from Harvard. Mr. Story is a son of the late Judge Isaac Story of Massachusetts and comes of a brainy family.

Clothes In New York.

Clothes, the kind that are spelled with a capital “C,” mount to a price that would seem like fiction if you had not found it reality. There are shops along Fifth avenue—those that are labeled “Louise,” "Harriette,” "Mme. Jeanne’’—where one buys a gown or a hat—that is, one would if one had the money—as a collector buys a Corot or a Rubens. The artiste—oh. dear, no; nothing so plebeian as a dressmaker or a milliner—herself wears, say. a costume of lace with a rope of pearls to her knees. She meets her customers in a reception room where oriental rugs hush the footfall and softly shaded lights blend the colorings in the decorations. She looks my lady over. The hired designers, the fitters, the needlewomen do the rest. And the bill comes in, S3O to $l5O for a hat, S3OO to $2,500 tot a gown. There are plenty of prices like that in New York. Then there are others that gently let you down, down until you strike prevailing rock bottom at about sls for only the making of a gown and $25 for a hat that is a hat.— Broadway Magazine.

Gambling In Cuba.

American influence has brought about some important changes in Cuban customs and notably in the abolition of the bull ring and the cockpit, which used to be the chief Sunday attractions of the populace. Not a few of the better class of Havanese desire the same fate for Jai Alai and would rejoice to see the Fronton closed forever. High and low wager immoderately on this game, and many stories of rutned reputations and wrecked businesses are connected with it. Every race has its prevailing vice and its comparative freedom from others. The Cubans are Incurable gamblers, but drunkenness is virtually unknown among them. Both sexes in Havana, spend a great deal of time in the numerous open air cases, but they drink for the most part nonalsoholic, fruity beverages, of which there is an extensive variety peculiar to the country. —C. H. Forbes-Lindsay in World Today.

Chameleon Paint.

A color changing paint for use upon machinery ba* recently been introduced on the New York market. This paint will be useful as an indicator of hot boxes or hot bearings. Red when cool, it will change to black at whatever temperature is too high for the machine It guards. Then when the machine cools it will change back to red again. The peint is made by mixing mercuric iodide and cupric iodide with distilled water in proportions that vary according to the degree of heat whereat it is desirable for the color change to occur.

Bull Moose Nose.

At least this Is what Webster Brown of this city', who has hunted and surveyed all over Alaska, says, and he ought to know.—Seattle Times.

Silage a Valuable Feed.

At a recent extensive feeding experiment of steers carried on by the Kansas Agricultural college it was demonstrated that It cost almost seven time* as much to make a pound of gain when hay was fed as when silage was fed for roughage and about six times a* much when corn stover was fed a* when silage or silage and stover were f*d. These facts are well worth thinking over and that very carefully.— Farm Progress.

Green Stuff For Poultry.

Every thoughtful poultry owner provide* some green stuff for the hens in winter. If you have a silo, give them some ensilage. If not, give cabbage or soak some chopped up clover or alfalfa in warm water till soft and feed that to them. It te great egg making food. In default of any of these things apples are good or turnips and pumpkins raw or cooked.

Feeding the Hens.

Oom, wheat, oats, barley, vegetables, email potatoes, apple parings, meat scraps, when given tn proper propbr fion and accompanied by grit or oyster shell, pure water, charcoal and dust baths, should result in a good supply of eggs if other conditions are favorable.

TYPE FOR SALE, By the addition of a Linotype to its mechanical equipment The Democrat will have a quantity of 6, 8 and 10 point body type for sale which is now being used on this paper. This type is all in very good condition as can be seen by its printing qualities, and it will be sold at an extremely low price as soon as we are done with it, which will be about April 1. This type is in cases and the cases will be sold with the type. We have about 250 pounds of 10 point; 100 pounds of 8 point and 100 pounds of 6 point. It will be sold if desired in 50 pound lots. If any of our exchanges are in need of any of this type we will make them an extremely low price on it to close it out. It is good for several years use yet in newspaper work or for mailing type. We also have two good double case type stands and racks, and a No. 7 Yarger stapling machine for sale at almost your own price. TO FRIENDS OF THE DEMOCRAT. When yon have a legal notice, such as notice of appointment as executor or administrator, final settlement of estate, nonresident notice, notice of ditch or highway petition, or any other legal notice that the clients themselves control, be sure to instruct your attorneys to have the publication made in the Democrat, otherwise they will take it to papers of their own political faith. Remember The Democrat is fighting your battles and using its best efforts to keep down taxation, and it is your duty to assist it, at least when it costs you nothing to do so, as our prices are usually much less for publishing legal notices than other papers, because they are set compactly, and are not “padded” out to make them as long as possible. Any favors shown us in this way will be greatly appreciated, and we want again to urge you to be snre to instruct your attorneys to have such publications made in The Jasper County Democrat.
