reach.
Miss Rna Strahecker writes that she
is well pleased with the country in
which she recently located.
A Mr. Wright hai moved into the
Lawrence property which was recently
vacated by Mr, English.
One of our fair sex spent the greater
part of last Sunday in preparations to
make a "mash" on a certain person
whom she had never seen before, but
to her sorrow when seeing him to find
him an old bald headed geatleman.
The mash was dropped.
Some of our young people ara meet

For the benefit of the public I would

Messrs Holloway, Miller and White,
ot Plymouth, should bear in mind that
this is leap year and that they could
never get Twin Lake ladies to accom
pany them to ice cream festivals on
Saturday night, by only giving them a
moment of warning. The three
gentlemen surely enjoyed the drive
however.
A FRENCH SQUIRE.
nil Coteljr Velvet Cape, Cilovea and Ter
fumes. The squire's shoes were of a very
plain and solid make, little better than
those provided for his laborers; and
such was his economy that he bought
leather and had them resoled by a cob
bler living at the chateau, says the
Gentleman's Magazine. He was much
more particular about his headgear.
Felt hats were brought by sea from
Rouen to Cherbourg. Gomberville
paid 25 francs for his own, while those
of his servants were not more than a
third of that price. Hi3 rich velvet
cape cost nearly 40 francs. The squire
had a peculiar weakness for perfumes,
which he distilled on the spot, such as
rose water, Damascus water, "eau a la
node," etc., and he did not think it
beneath his dignity to go and gather
the pinks at a neighboring monastery.
He was also very fastidious with re
gard to his gloves, and would pay 12
francs a pair for them. A word may
be added as to the arrangements for
the table at the chateau. The flour
was ground and the bread made at
home, although wrhen there was not
time to do so a loaf of twelve pounds
would be bought from the baker for 3
francs. He paid a higher price when
he expected friends, and especially the
cure of Cherbourg, who was somewhat
of an epicure. There is littte said
about pastry, except ttie "gateau des
rois," so essential to the festivities of
Twelfth Night or Epiphany. The des
serts consisted of cheese, honey, fresh
and dried fruits, oranges and grenades
from the south, with a great variety of
wines. Generally the preference was
given to solid food. Sometimes oxen
and sheep were slaughtered at home.
sometimes choice morsels were bought
at the town, and wonderfully cheap
they were. On one occasion the half of
a calf and a pound of candles were pur
chased for 5 francs. Kids were much
in request for special entertainments.
Pork was then, as now, a favorite ar
ticle of diet among the peasants. One
day, when going to the chase, he rose
at 4 o clock and breakfasted on pork
and herring himself. The fact speaks
well for his digestive powers unless
he had reason to repent of the indul
gence. Special luxuries were occasion
ally provided at 'ids table, as when the
servant of a neighbor brought him an
Indian cock and hen he was so pleased
that he gave the messenger a pour-
boire of 4 francs. This little circum
stance is not without interest, as show
ing thai the turkey was not then un
known in France, and throwing doubt
on common tradition that this bird was
first introduced there by the Jesuits
and served at the royal table of Charles
IX, 1571. Fish appears often on the
squire's board, as his chateau was near
the sea, and the rivers also furnished
a good supply.
BERRY'S HENS WERE SLEEPY.
Kode Seventeen Miles 1'ercihed on a
Wagon Keacb Without Waking-
From the Portland Press: Linn Ber
ry has a big chicken farm in West Bux
ton, and has several hundred hens. He
brings many eggs and chickens (dead
and dressed) to Portland. He loads his
wagon the night before and starts at
3 a. m. He has only to hitch up the
horses and drive o'i. It is a drive of
seventeen miles to this city. He
reached here at just about sunrise. As
he approached tbe United States hotel
to deliver some produce someone shout
ed at him and asked him If he had
brought his hen? to market roosting
on the crossbar vnder the wagon. He
paid no attention, supposing the man
was guying him. But when he stopped
at the hotel and others called his at
tention to four hens roosting under the
wagon and just waking up, it was
doubtful whidh was the most aston
ished, Mr. Berry or the hens. Two of
the latter were panic stricken and
started down Federal street. One was
caught on Temple street and the other
got down almost to Exchange street
before it was carvured. The cook at
the hotel bought the four hens for $1
and took them home. How many hens
were asleep under the wagon when Mr.
Berry started from home he can't tell.
but It is very possible that there were
more than four.
The Postal Staff and the Cats.
The cats are invariably treated with
great kindness by the postal staff. Kit
tens are born in all sorts of odd cor
ners, even occasionally under a desk
or table in the sorting office. One cat
has successfully reared during the
present year a family of six in the reg
istered letter department, but this, vf
course, Is exceptional. They are gen
erally born in the kitchens, as there
are plenty of old wornout coats about
which make a comfortable bed. As
eoon as they are old enough some one
requiring a cat takes one home to the
domestic hearth. There is often a
keen struggle for their possession and
a man will feed both mother and kit
ten on milk and watch them with an
anxious eye, only to find in the end thaA
he is a day too late, someone havinp
forestalled him and quietly disappeared
with the coveted pet. Westminster

OVERWHELMED BY BIRDS.
llow a Vesacl Was lteset hj Myriad of
Swallows.
A Russian steamer, hailing from
Odessa, says the Savannah News, has
for some time been engaged in the Med
iterranean trade, principally carrying
passengers between Leghorn and Mal
aga. On one of the recent trips it en
countered an adventure which will nev
er be forgotten by either the crew or the
passengers. The passage had been a
stormy one, but the day of the occur
rence was unusually fine. Though a
rather heavy sea was running, most of
the passengers were on deck. Suddenly
the lookout called: "Hurricane cloud
leeward."
At once there was great consterna
tion aboard and a number of people
sought safety below. The captain, how
ever, after glancing at the barometer,
gave it as his opinion that it was no
hurricane cloud. The black mass that
they saw hovering near the horizon was,
he thought, a particularly dense vol
ume of smoke from some steamer. But
the solution of the mystery came much
sooner than they had expected. The
threatening mass grew larger and
larger and soon was seen to bear down
in the direction of the vessel with ter
rific speed. Everybody, both crew and
passengers, became frightened at the
mysterious cloud, which seemed to
move with great rapidity, notwith
standing that a perfect calm prevailed.
Then came the solution. The vast
cloud that they had seen was composed
of swallows. The forerunners, a small
detachment of some 10,000, swooped
down on the deck, to the bewilderment
on the people on board. These were
soon followed, not by thousands, but
by hundreds of thousands. The birds
literally overwhelmed the vessel. The
man at the wheel lost his bearings and
the wildest disorder prevailed. The
birds poured into every available open
ing, hatchways, windows, and every
where else. They got tangled in the
ropes and sails and clustered about the
rigging.
Even the smokestack was so filled up
at one time that the fires were nearly
extinguished. The most amazing part
of the whole thing was that the birds
did not evince any disposition to leave.
To heighten the confusion, the steam
er had got out of its course and ran
ashore. However, on account of eo-
ing very slow, no material damage was
done, though the passengers were bad
ly frightened. When the crew had re
covered from their amazement they
began to clear the deck and the vessel
in general of those unexpected and not
at all welcome guests.
The captain ordered the men to use
shovels and whatever else they could
to throw the birds overboard. After
getting fairly in shape the vessel pro
ceeded on its voyage, having been de
layed for nearly elgnt hours on account
of this singular experience. The cap
tain could not offer any theory as to
where the vast army of swallows came
from. All he said was that the birds
were exhausted from a long flight dur
ing the storm of the previous day and
ought rest on his vessel.
Streptococcus Pyogenes.

with Dr. Pasteur in Paris, fraa discovered ths
