Senator Clarke of Arkansas is said to be the most rapid talker that has ever been in the senate. The average words spoken by him is said to be 200 Frank J. Gould of New York has purchased 2,000 acres of hunting land in Chesterfield county, Va., and is about to build a commodlous hunting lodge on it. Mr. Joseph Chamberlain’s first ora- torical attempt, at a Birmingham de- bating society, was such a disastrous failure that he went home in disgust and vowed that he would never speak in public again.

Elias Buckler, a farmer living near Delphos, Kan., has a remarkably luxu- riant growth of whiskers. Recently, while working in the fields, a swarm of bees came along and settled in this growth. Mr. Buckler sat down and re- mained quiet. When all the bees had settled in his heard he slowly arose, walked home, and, with the assistance of others, hived the buzzers. An Arab woman doctor has been ap- pointed house surgeon at the newly es- tablished hospital at Constantine, Al- geriu. i In 1895 the members of the Vienna bourse numbered 801.

Like. the Girls Without nuts. “The prettiest sight imaginable, and one I have never seen outside the United States, is the promenade. of your beautiful girls and young wom- en en the streets of evenings, when they appear Without any sort of head covering,” said Samuel Golbey of Lon- don. “To my mind this is one of the neatest, most picturesque and fascinat- ing customs that ever the fair sex adopted, and it seems to have reached the acme of its development right here in your capital.
