Every prosperous club bits its loving cap, but how many of tbo gnoflts who geo it gracing tho banquet know its origin or the graceful ceremonial which should bo observed in drinking from it? The cup should have two handles and a cover, nnd is handed to tho principal guest as the toasts begin. Tho guest takes it by both handles, and standing terns to tho person nearest, who also stands, and both bow. Then, while the second gnest removes tho lid, the first one drinks, and with another bow passes the cup to his neighbor, who replaces the lid and presents it in turn to the next guest, and so the ceremony is re peated. In tho old days of chivalry and of treachery, as a man while drinking from the two handled cup was prac tically defenseless, his companion was required to remove the covt.r with his sword hand that he might not take ad Tantage of the other. It is a very pretty ceremony when gracefully performed. New York Sun. In Hawarden Castle, Tho Rev, Henry Drew was an amiable and congenial guido to tho many objects of engrossing interest in Hawarden castle. Before leaving the drawing room I had feasted my eyes ou many relics and souvenirs of the life still in such wonderful preservation. The room is a large lightsome one, looking on to the grounds. Every nook and corner of it has some token of love or admiration from worshipers of the great man who inhabits this retreat. These were from all quarters India, Italy, Irelund, Amer ica and England. Here is a huge embossed silver cylinder, containing tapestry from India, and there lying alongside a great book of photographs stamped "Roma," is an immense beautifully bound album con taining nothing but the names of Italian students. The bright face of Lord Rose bery looks out on you from a large silver frame surmounted with the letter "R," while the ascetic countenance of John Morley is not absent. Pall Mall Gazette. Vampire In Guiana. When the West Indies were first dis covered hogs were put on some of the islands; these in time increased won derfully, so as to become vast herds, af fording a supply of fresh meat to the mariner sick of the scurvy. In Guiana, however, theao animals never became common, but on the contrary required the greatest of care to preserve them from the vampires. Domestic animals, like man, sleep at night, and here the bats have the advantage of them, while the wild quadrupeds of the forest range and feed at tho same time as their san guinary enemy. Hence it has followed that peccaries roam securely and nro qui to free from the vampires, while their domesticated cousins must bo housed and cayed. Longman's Magazine. Shucked Over tho Wire.

Bcforo Watt", the discoverer of the present mode of making shot, had his not-ablo droain, induced by overindul gence in stimulants, tho maunfactnre in question wns a slow, laborious nnd con sequently costly process. Great bars of lead had to be pounded into sheets of a thickness nearly equnl to tho diameter of the shots desired. These sheets hnd then to be cut into littlo cubes, placed in a revolving barrel, nnd there rolled until, by tho constant friction, tho edges wore off from tho littlo cubes and they became spheroids. Watts had often racked his brain try ing to discover some better and less costly scheme, but in vain. Fiunlly, after spending nn evening with some boon companions ut an alehouse, ho went homo, went to bed and soon fell asleep. His slumlwrs, however, were disturbed by unwelcome dreams, iu one of which ho was out with "the boys," and as they were stumbling home it be gan to rain shot beautiful globules of polished, shining lead in such numbers that he and his companions had to seek shelter. In tho morning Watts remembered his curious dream and it obtruded itself on his mind all day. IIo began to wonder what shapo molten lead would assume in falling through tho air, and finally, to set his mind nt rest, ho ascended to the top of the steeplo of the church of St. Mary tit Radcliffo and dropped slowly nnd regularly a lodlcfnl of molten lead into the moat below. De scending, he took from tho bottom of the shallow pool several handfuls of the most perfect shot he had ever seen. Watt's fortuno was made, for from this exploit emanated the idea of tho shot tower, which ever since has been the only meaus employed in tho manufac ture of the littlo missiles so important in war and sport. Boston Commonwealth. A Sign from Heaven. "A queer story was related to me many years ago by Rev. William Simp son, then one of the leadiug lights of the Methodist church in eastern Iowa and western Illinois," said Harvey Good enough, a Hawkeye pioneer, at the La clede. "While tho Mormons were car rying things with a high hand in west ern Illinois they converted a young woman, a member of Elder Simpson's flock. A few months spent at Nauvoo sufficed to disenchant her, and sho re turned home a confirmed skeptic. The church people labored with her long and faithfully, but without overcoming her nnbelief. Before her bedroom window stood a largo oak tree. She announced that 6he was going to pray the Lord for a sign that sho would ask him if he really had an existence- to manifest it by causing the great oak tree to wither, as Christ is said to have blasted the un fruitful fig tree. Sho was to prefer her request for a 'sign' upon which to ground her faith at 10 o'clock Sunday, morning. "Her resolution at once became the talk of the town, and many visited tho tree and carefully examined it. It was perfectly sound, full of sap and covered with a profusion of bright green leaves. At sunset every leaf won an brown and withered as in the depths of winter. The elder stated that with a party of men ho cut tho tree down and dug up the stump, and that it was dead from the topmast branch to the smallest root. The young woman's prayer had been answered. She at once re-entered the church and do voted her life to missionary work, spend ing several years in China and japan." St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Platinum Mines of Ruul. Tho platin um beds of the Ural rnonn tains are tbo only ones in the world in which this metal is found in grains. Platinum is found in Brazil and in tho Cordilleras in the hard serpentine rocks, ! but never in the form of grains. Tho platinum beds of the Ural mountains are found in various districts iu tho north at Besserski, in tho government of Perm, in tho district of Knotourski and I iu tho state properties of Goroblagodat I ski, where sixty-six mining concessions j have been granted. All tho beds of tho northern region are situated in the basin of the river Touri, in that of the tribu tary stream of Taghil and in other trib utaries higher up. On the western declivity of the Ural mountains there is another platinum bed near tho river Outka, a tributary of tho Tchoussova, and the basins of tho higher tributaries of tho Outka. near tbo Ural river. The platinum f jund iu these places is in tho form of grains, in sand frequently containing gol-1.

The Comet's Approach. MUCH SPECULATION AS TO WHETHER IT WILL URl'SH THE EAR I'll. Two men tunning for a hole in the fence through which only one can pass at a time would illustrate the race now going on between the earth and the approaching comet. If both are on lime next Sunday and if the comet is Dicta's comet, as now seems to be generally believed, then the comet will pass across the spot where the courses meet eight hours ahead of the earth. It is not yet known, however, whether or not the comet is on tin).'. If it is Biela's comet there is every reason to believe that it is not on time, because it never yet has met the expectations of astronomers and is the most eccentric and unreliable wander er of the heavens, seeming to follow a plan of its own rather than running in a track which scientists have laid down for it. It has been shown how this comet came up one time only to explode in the heavens ; how another year it smilingly showed its head above the horizon a whole day in advance of the time it was expected; and, then, how it finally disappeared in a mysterious manner, leaving nollnng Out a shower of meteors and a gaseous odor behind. If the record of Bicla's comet was not such an uncertain one, there would not be the slightest doubt that it is that fiery monster which is now heading this way. Its periodicity has arrived ; its lime is up. November 27, 1S92, is the date when it ought to be nearest the earth. Hut for several years astronomers had been compla cently regarding it as "lost, it now turns up to worry them. As regards a possible collision, no astronomer lias yet been found who will say it is impossible. On the con trary, nearly all those who have been observing the comet during the past week have been making approximate estimates as to the length of time which will divide the two bodies. Time, not distarce, is the fact to take in consideration in such a matter, for, Biela's comet only a million miles away, would, it is said, cause almost as much or as little damage as if it squarely swept the earth with its tail. Beila's comet was thought by the eminent astronomer Klinkcrfues to have struck the earth in 1872, and he telegraphed to that effect to Professor I'ogson at Madras. Much as Profes sor Klinkcrfues was rediculed for this action when the mistake was subse quently discovered, he showed a very good scientific reason for his belief, pointing to the fact that the comet had been coming closer and closer to the earth for many years. The extraordinary atmospheric man ifestations which occured in that year are believed by many scientists to have resulted from the bursting of one of the parts of the comet. In every instance, however, when Biela's comet has approached the earth its appear ance has been accompanied by im mense numbers of falling stars, and there is every reason to believe that many meteors will be seen this week.
