I A FIERCE MERMAN. niu of Marine Mounter Virginia Sported In 1676. BMI Blackwell of Oxford has pubshß a careful reprint of ‘'Au Account f Brcinia; Its Situation, Temperaure, Productions, Inhabitants and 'heir Manner of Planting and Orderigßobacco.” It is, in brief, a pamhlel communicated to the Royal soletjlin 1676 by one Thomas Glover, anßhgenious Chirurgion,” who had 'vedlfor some years in the province. Ir. plover would seem to have reckond A sea serpent among the Inhabitthe colony to judge from the ojjHp accuracy of the following decrMon: prodigious Creature, much a man, only somewhat larright up In the water head, neck, shoulders, breast mdWast, to the cubits of his arms, :bowvater; his skin was tawny, much ike tb t of an Indian; the figure of lisSad was pyramidal, and slick, rithvfl: hair, his eyes large and black, ind s| were his eyebrows; bis mouth rery wide, with a broad, black streak in tha upper lip, which turned upward iteael end like moustachoes; his couuienaaaß was grim and terrible; his leek, 11 oulders, arms, breast and wast sere ike unto the neck, arms, shoullersOreast and wast of a man; his i ids, f be had any, were under wapjH seemed to stand with his eyes ixed 01 me for some time, and aftertax lived down, and a little after risa farther distance and srnetßhis bead toward me again, and UqHlmediatelv falleth a little under Il swimmeth away so near the e water that I could discern w out his arms and gather s a man doth when he swimlast he shoots with his bead 1, by which means he cast ? the water, which exactly rehe tayl of a fish, with a broad e end of it.” Doubt of His Honesty. Sheriff and Chief of Police ■b of Woonsocket was known as a man who was straightnd blunt in all his dealings. ■ a grocer went to Alf for Inabout a certain Joe White, MBm applied for credit and a book ka Store, and the following dia6o«mornlng, Mr. Church." know Joe White?” Wai kind of a feller is he?” Pfttj fair-” I should say so.

Aot r» Her Class. The eagles were holding a conven-tlon-or it might have been merely a caucus—on the rocky+crest of a lofty 11 oud regal birds they were, piercing of eye, sharp of beak and strong of claw, and all the timid creatures of the air retreated to a safe distance and watched them with awe. Presently, however, a wandering turkey buzzard, attracted bv curiosity ventured to join them. They eyed her scornfully, even threateningly. “What are you doing here?” they said. “This is a gathering of eagles You are a vulture and are not in otu class.” “You are right,” replied the turkey buzzard. “I am of some use in the world, while you are thieves, robbers and murderers and not worth a continental except for show. GoofiLy, and be hanged to you!” Thereupon she turned her back npon them and flew away. Which shows, dear children, that there are two kinds of aristocracy and that a lofty style isn't everything.— Chicago Tribune. Tommy’s Cruel Joke. The other evening Miss Passee stayed to dinner, and Tommy as a great favor was allowed to have dinner with the company. Growing restless at dessert. he was sent out of the room, but in a few seconds he returned with a little Dresden clock from the sitting room mantelpiece. “Gracious, child!” exclaimed the mother. “What mischief are you up to now?” “Goin’ to try a speriment,” replied Tommy, with importance. Miss Passee tittered. “The dear little fellow is going to make an experiment,” she gushed. “How clever of him!” While Miss Passee was speaking Tommy had carefully placed the clock on the table in front of her. With a mysterious gesture he laid his finger on his lips and enjoined silence. No one stirred. After about two minutes Tommy’s strained expression relaxed, and he clapped his bands in exultation. “It goes!” he cried triumphantly. “It goes! You were wrong, papa.” “Os course it goes, child,” laughed Miss Passee. “What made your father think it wouldn't?” “Well.” replied the little fellow simply, “he said your face would stop a clock.” —London Tatler.

How WlnM Are Colored. ■Most people think white grapes make tmite wine and dark grapes make red wine," said a visitor. "That is a popu>ar error. ‘‘Red wine is made by fermenting grape juice and grape skins together the skins giving the color, and white wine is made by fermenting grape juice alone. "The juice of white and of dark grapes doesn't differ in hue. In each sort of grape the juice is almost colorless, like the weakest lemonade. “Champagne, one of the dearest of the white wines, is made of a grape so dark as to be pearly black. But the Juic< of that nearly black grape is quite as pale as the juice of th— ’-'.ondest white grape.”—Minneapolis Jo—nal. Japanese Radish. Picture to yourself a pure white radish the size of a baseball or larger, firm and solid. Such h> the Japanese radish. Cut it, and you find it has the consistency of a Baldwin apple, firm and fine grain; taste, and it proves + o be away ahead of the most delicate spring radish that ever passed ycur lips. It will thrive at any season during the growing year. It may be transplanted or left alone, cultivated or uncultivated. It is as good to eat when in bloom as in its younger days, and one radish will provide bulk enough for three or four people or more.—Garden Magazine. War History. An old darky was watching the G. A. R. parade one Memorial day and was vociferously cheeting ti?*band. I suppose you were through the civil war, uncle?” said a bystander. “Ever’ step of it, sub!” “At the surrender too?” “Ever* step of it. sub. ‘What did General Lee say to General Grant?” “Never said nuttin’, suh; des Shopped off his haid an' went on! The Wily Barber. “Ah, yes.” mused Mr. Oldboy, “when J was a young fellow and wont to the hairdresser’s to get my hair cut he used to flatter me by asking if I wanted a shave. Now when I go to tbo hairdresser’s to get a shave he flatters me by asking if I want my hair cut."’ Almost Human Intelllß-ence. Mrs. Mcßryde—John, I’m simply disgusted. While I was out this morning the cat got into the pantry and ate everv single thing except a cake I had just’ baked. Mr. Meßryde-What a wonderful thing animal instinct is, to he sure! —Cleveland Leader. I have seldom known any one who deserted truth in trifles that could be trusted in matters of importance.— Paley. Must Have Bren Ice. Mamma-No, dear, the Atlantic ocean never freezes over. E S ie-Oh, but it must.

rne Only One of Its Kind. On an-evenhig somewhere about the end of the sixteenth century a traveler from Sweden might have been observ ed at the door of the Rose theater In London. He was going to see a new piece called “Titus Andronicus,” and in order to follow it in the native language he bought a copy of the play, price sixpence, at the theater door. \\ hen he went home to Sweden he took the book with him to show bis wife and friends what strange stuff roe foreigner ranted. For 300 years it was preserved and in 1904, being discovcred in the home of a countrywoman, was transferred for safety to the Lund university. The book is the only one of its kind known to exist. Matchmaking: In France. A recent writer says of the commercial side of matchmaking in France: “In most French marriages money plays the important part. The first question asked by the young man is, ‘How much?’ As a rule, it is an easy matter to ascertain without applying directly to the papa, but even when no question of dowry is raised at the formal demand there is always a con tract drawn up by a notary, which specifies the exact sum the girl receives.” A Man of Credit. A distinguished Irish lawyer, always In impoverished circumstances, once took Chief Justice Whiteside to see his magnificently furnished new house in Dublin. “Don’t you think,” he said, with a Complacent look about, “that I deserve great credit for this?” “Yes,” the judge answered dryly "and you appear to got it-’’ The Evil of Inheritance. It is not so bad when a rich man cuts off his heirs for spite. Inheritance has worked enormous mischief ever since there were fortunes to leave. In most cases it is a misfortune to be an heir.— St. Louis Post-Dispatch. Tongh on the Calf. It’s pretty tough on the fatted calf that it should have to suffer for the sins of the prodigal son.—Philadelphia Record. A “Wild Hair.” A “wild hair” is the most annoying freak of nature a man can be afflicted with. It grows in from the eyelid instead of out and, constantly brushing against the eyeball, sometimes causes an irritation that results in a loss of sight. To pull it out gives only temporary relief, since in a few weeks it comes back, as well grown and strong as ever. The only way to kill it is to destroy the sac from which it springs. This is done by means of the electric needle. Full of Tragic Meaning

are these lines from J. H. Simmons, of Casey, la. Think what might have resulted from his terrible cough if he had not taken the medicine about which he writes: “I had a fearful cough, that disturbed my nights rest. I tried every thing, but nothing would relieve it untill I took Dr. Kings New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds which completely cured me.” Instantlyrelieves and permanently cures all throat and lung diseases; prevents grip and pneumonia.
