A Curiosity,

Quite curiosity was found few
days ago near the camp of the workmen
on the new toll road, near Yankee Fork,
New. 1t is mountain rams head deep
ly imbeded in pine tree and about six
feet from the ground. The right horn is
outside, and curla partly around the tree
while the front Of the skull and most of
the left horn is covered with the growth
of wood. The tree is thrifty pine Is
inches through.
How that rams head came there will
always remain mystery to scientists,
but men Of the mountains, who are famil-
lar with the fighting propensities of the
wild buck, cam easily explain it. The
ram whose head is now a part of the tree
stood on the upper side Of the hill, while
his enemy stood near what was then a
pine sapling. When the present relic
made rush at ram No. 2 the latter
stepped to ono side, and the old warrior
head coming in contact with the young
tree split it wide enough for one horn to
enter, and he was left dangling at the
mercy of his foe. The rest is easily
guessed. The survivor of the fight de-
libcratcly butted his unfortunate adyer-
sary until there was nothing left of him
but the skull and horns fast in the wood
Fred Myers, one of the proprietors OF the
toll road, will have the part of the tree
containing the rams head sent to the
Smithsonian Institute.

1.-THE New Quarterly Review.l


1t is especially remarkable that in the
United States the ordinary food of the
people is far better in quality and more
respectfully cooked than among the mass
es in any other country, and the Ameri,
cans are known to masticate their food
very imperfectly-in short, to "bolt' it
This habit of boiling is probably itself
due to the general excellence of the food

temperament of the people.

pean country; that the jaws .are almost
abnormally short; that the lower jaw is

Why Englishmen Suffer.

I doubt if in the so, 900 skilled mechan'
les of Birmingham to-day dozen can be
found with a practical illustration OF
thrift, economy or saving in their daily
life. 1t is regarded as mean or stingy on
the part of workingman here to save
money, to hoard up for rainy day.
His companions would scout at him
and lead him life of torment by word
teasing if he were to abandon the tap
room or the drinking-bar and save up
part of his earnings. There seems to be
regular recruiting system here, and
doubtless in all English manufacturing
towns, for the benefit of the public tav-
erns. The workingman with moral cour-
age enough to avoid these national vice
traps of England would soon find him
self victim of endless petty tyranny by
his companions. They seem to nurse the
consolation that "they all do it, and he

1t is no doubt a great honor to rest in
Westminster Abbey after person is
through with this world. There seems,
however, ODE one unknown person who
reposes in that ancient pile. The sup
posed remains of Major Andre were tax
en- from the foot of the scaffold ON which
he died and deposited in Westminster
Abbey
1t now appears that the remains were
not Andres after all, and that an un-
known individual rests in those sacred
precincts. There can be no doubt that
grave found where the gallows had stood
on which Andre suffered was opened in
1921, and that the remains taken from it
were sent to England, in compliance
with the wishes of the English Govern
ment. But John Austin Stevens, in the
last number of his Magazine of American
History, unearthed and published "a
Personal Narrative of the Services of
Lieutenant John Shreve, of the Conti-
mental Army" a son of Colonel Shreve,
of the Second New Jersey Regiment,
who was an eyewitness of the execution
and who distinctly asserts that the body
of Andre was not buried under the gal
lows on which he died at all, but was
conveyed in British man-of-war's boat
to New York, then in the possession of
the royal army. This personal narrative
says of Andre:
"When dead he was taken down, put
in the coffin and driven under an escort
to the landing place at the river, where
boat belonging to the enemy was wait
ing by permission, and took the corpse of
Major Andre to New York City, and ar
rived with it at the British camp before
midnight. His body was not buried un-
der Or near the gallows, as some histori-
ans have asserted"
And now the question is, Where was
Andre buried and who sleeps in his place

Local Adyertisiug.

The virtue of advertising is of morea
consequence, in general way, than it is
often credited with. A too contracted
view is so frequently thrown around its
salutary influences that those who read
q business card seem to think that its
import is of but little consequence to any
one besides the advertiser. This, how
ever, is great mistake, for the commu-
nifty at large is benefited, according to
our way of thinking, by every business
card of town store appearing in the To-
cal papers.
1t needs no very skillful reasoning to
elucidate the proposition, for there car
be no better method adopted to improve
village, town, OF city, than that which
keeps the bulk of trade at home. By SC
doing the result of industry are widely
ditrused in the expenditures made, SO.

to understand the value of advertising,
and our residents fail not to reward them
for their enterprise. A contemporary
puts the matter in this wise:
When the business men of a town fail
to advertise extensively they diminish
the importance and trade of the place,
and permit more enterprising localities
TO take the latter from them. Although
done for their individual interest, adver.
tising should be looked on by citizens Of
the town where they reside, as in some
sense public benefactors, and they should
be encouraged accordingly. One mer.
chant who advertises extensively is
worth to his own town and its people
more than forty that never show them
selves in print, sand should be for this
reason alone preferred, assuming that he
is, of course, fair business man.

BUTLER AT A PRIZE.FIGHT.
How He Went TO IL i'm the Guise OF
a Lone Fisher man.
Tor


Laughing over that cartoon in the
Graphic, representing Gen. Butler ON a
fishing excursion with hook and line,
gathering them in" over Massachusetts,,
my friend, Charles c., remarked that
that picture reminded him of pisca-
torial experience which Butler had some
ten years ago. Two prize-ighters, Levitt
and Finnegas, had agreed upon "a bat
tie" to take place outside of Massachu-
setts. The time and place for the fig int
were known to but few persons. Charles
c., then an officer of the Boston
municipality, and Butler, were well
acquainted.
The latter came to the former and said:
"Charley, there's going to be a prize-tight
somewhere about this neighborhood, Pm
told, and you are to be the referee. |
want to witness that encounter, and |
don't want to be advertised as going es-
pecially to see it." "Well," said Charles
C., "the time set is Monday next, the
place is five miles from Manchester, N.
H., near certain fshing-pond. You
come there and I'll see that you have a
front seat at the show" GAN right"
says Butler, "say nothing about me. Pll
get my fishing tackle and go angling at
that pond, you see, and just drop upon me
as if byaccident." Sure enough, when the
crowd had assembled near the pond, But
ler appeared on the outskirts dressed in a
corduroy suit, his breeches tucked into
bis boots. thrown over his shoulder was
long fshing-rod, with hook and line at
tached. Carelessly and curiously he ap-
peared as he came upon the party, and
he spoke out loud that all might hear
him: "Hollo! What's this you've here
picnic~ "No," said Charles c.,
who pretended not to know Butler,
"there's going to be some gymnastic ex-
ercise and some ground and lofty tum-
bling" "No harm if stop and see it,
| supposeT' says Butler. ooh, no,
none in the world" said Charles G.;
t"just take a position over there among
those gentleman in front; they are the
members of the press" And Butler did
so. Charles c. says Butler became
intensified during the fight, and every
time one or the other of the prize
fighters "got in welP' upon his opponent
Butler grunted harmoniously, and let of
"his left or right" sympathetically with
the ambidextrous gladiators as they let
fly. When the fight was over, Butler
said: "That was fine. | enjoyed the
amusement very much"

Curious Things i'm Germany.


Some curious prosecutions arc reported
from the courts in various parts of Ger
many. A wealthy and respected shoe
maker of Lautenburg, in West Prussia,
suspecting servant girl of stealing $25,
and finding that she would not admit it,
hit upon the curious device of putting a
steaming hot egg under each of her arm
pits and tying her arms down over them
until tine torture made her confess the
theft. Then he had her arrested. In the
prison the girl begged for something to
relieve the pain of the burns, and in that
way the method by which her confession
had been extorted was revealed.
The shoemaker was prosecuted and
sentenced to two years imprisonment
He appealed, and the Appellate Court
made his sentence three years. In Sinziq
there was case analogous to that of Ca
leb Cushing, who, in Washington, ap
piled to the courts for relief against the
barking of a dog that in the night dis
turbed his studies. In this case it was
young heifer that beloved at night whcl
hungry, and seems to have been hungry
very often. A gentleman in thu
neighborhood made complaint, and th'
