OTICE.
THE MAD DUCHESS.
Lady Catherine Hyde and Her Eccen
tricities of Dress.
Lady Catherine Hyde was the third
daughter of Henry, second earl of
Rochester and fourth earl of-Clarendon,
and a great-granddaughter of Ed
ward, the first and famous earl of Clar
endon. One of the strongest
of her caprices was to be unlike othet
people, and ahe succeeded admirably
in the attempt Bollngbroke nicknam
ed her "La Slngulnrlte;" Horace Wal
pole, more bluntly, "the Mad Duchess."
This oddity was specially displayed in
ber dress. In 1747, after a good deal of
Intriguing, she bad obtained permis
sion to appear again at court, and in
1763 Horace Walpole tells Lord Hert
ford that she presented herself there
in a gown and petticoat of red flannel.
Making all allowance for mnle igno
rance on such a subject and Walpole's
tendency to embroider a story, It Is
beyond doubt that she deliberately
courted the peculiar In her costume.
She was fond of wearing an apron and
appeared in one at court after this gar
ment had been forbidden at the royal
drawing rooms. Her entrance being
opposed by one of the lords in wait
ing, she tore it off, threw it in his face
and walked on. Beau Nash on a simi
lar occasion took the law Into bis own
hands, for when she attempted to en
ter the ballroom at Bath wearing an
apron he promptly stripped it oft and
threw it among the ladies' maids, ob
serving that none but Abigails ap
peared in white aprons. It was her
fancy as she grew older to disregard
the changes of fashion and to adhere
obstinately to the dress of her younger
days. Her attire at times was so weird
that Lord Cornbury wrote, "She has
been called 'sir upon the rood above
twenty times." Nineteenth Century.

Influences That Draw It From Its Alle
giance to the Pole.
Nothing in the navigational equip
ment of a ship has been the subject of
more anxious research or receives
more Jealous care than the mariner's
compass.
The popular notion of the compass
needle always pointing north and
south is well, more inaccurate than
even popular notions usually are. Even
under the most favorable conditions
there are only certain places upon the
surface of the earth where the compass
needle does point north and south, and
It is quite safe to say that such condi
tions are never found on board of any
ship.
But we must go further and say that
no more unfavorable position could be
found for a compass than on board of
a modern steamship, which is a com
plicated mass of steel, all tending to
draw the compass needle from Its alle
giance to the magnetic pole of the
earth, warring influences which must
needs be counteracted by all sorts of
devices which hedge round the instru
ment by an invisible wall of conflicting
currents of magnetism.
And as if this were not enough'there
are now huge dynamos to be reckoned
with, producing electric currents for
all sorts of purposes on board. In the
midst of these mystic currents the poor
little compass needle, upon which the
mariner depends for his guide across
the trackless deep, hangs suspended
like one shrinking saint surrounded by
legions of devils. Windsor Magazine.
Martian Life Dying.
A sadder interest attaches to such
existence that it is, cosmleally speak
ing, soon to pass away. To our
eventual descendants life on Mars will
no longer be something to scan and
interpret It will have lapsed beyond
(he hope of study or recall. Thus to
us it takes on an added glamour from
the fact that It has not long to last
for the process that brought it to its
present pass must go on to the bitter
end until the last spark of Martian
life goes out The drying up of the
planet is certain to proceed until its
surface can support no life at all.
Slowly, but surely, time will snuff it
out When the last ember is thus ex
tinguished the planet will roll a dead
world through space, its evolutionary
career forever ended. Frofessor Low

Doctors' Bill.
Who, having obtained an honest bill
for the medicine, will wish to have
particulars of the 'doctor's "profession
al services V Imagine a bill made up
with such nicety as this: "To count
ing pulse, sixpence; to viewing tongue,
threepence; to asking four questions
(three Irrelevant), fourpence; to telling
patients to say 'ninety-nine,' eight
pence; to medicine, Is. Cd.; to bottle,
twopence; to label, 1 penny; total,
3s. Cd." Yorkshire Observer.
Advantage of Credit.
"My big Bister has a beau."
"So's mine, but I don't like him."
"Know what my sister 'd do If I
didn't like her beau?"
"No. What'd she do?"
"She'd send him back and get him
changed, 'cause we've'got a charge ac
count at the store he comes from."
Newark Evening Star.
Different Opinions.
"I see a man intends to let a rattle
snake bite him and depend on prayer
for a cure. I call that faith."
"I call it cruelty to animals -unless
somebody's going to pray for the snake
after it's bitten such a fool as that"

Speakeasy Raid.
During the latter parfbf last week
Brockwayville experienced , quite a
shock for a town of reputed strict pro
hibition. A representative of the antl
salonn league arrived in that place
from Ridgway during the week, and
after some investigation informed the
police department of the town that
liquor was being illegally sold within
the confines of the city limits.
Naturally the officers became quite
indignant and an Investigation was im
mediately Instituted and as a result
a number of arrests were made. A
large percentage of the population of
the town was subpoened and the pros
ecution went on. One of the defend
ants, it is said, pleaded guilty and the
balance wereacqultted.-DuBols Courier.
