There were imported into this country from
England several years ago sort of tea drink
Ing company or tea fight, and for some unex-
planned reason they were called kettle-drums.
Ihey take place just at the end of the afternoon,
almost Always before dark, and they are rather
informal and so quite agreeable meetings.
Eimlra has hitched new meaning to the word
changing 1t little and Is giving what are called
baby-drums. That is gathering of number of
little chaps In long clothes or short ones. One of
these, and the first one we have ever had the
honor OF hearing about, was giving at q cosy lit
tie home on William street on Saturday after
noon last. The parsonage In whose honor it
was given on that day achieved her first birth
day-She's little st. Valentine herself and in
honor of the event just an even score OF young
mothers with their babies, none OF whom were
more than three years old. indeed three year.
old chap seemed quite giant. and an aged per-
son in the company yeritable drum major,
were invited to the "baby- drum" A very sub
stantial lunch was served to the mothers,
eventually reaching the children In the natural
course OF events. The chief amuSements Of the
youngsters were pulling chairs away from each
other and carrying on chorus In high tone
OF voice, that was quite as unmusical as drum
corps ITSELF There was no discussion as to
which was the prettiest child or the sweetest
toot,se-oot-se, and everything passed OF so
much to the satisfaction OF both mothers and
children that II is likely the baby-drum will
become quite as wei acclimated as the kettle
drum.-Elmti'a Free Press.

Ole BULBS Pennsylvania Castle.
INau. Rerpan etter To the Tituspjlla Herald


About thirty or thirty-five years ago Ole B Ill,
the Norwegian violinist, with one OF those
idiosyncracies peculiar to men of genius,
turned his attention to colonizing and specula-
lions In lumber Engaging a number Of his
countrymen, who had reached New York on
their way to the fertile fields Of the West, he
brought them here, laid out city and erected
cabins for their use. He purchased an i'm
mense tract of land in this region from parties
in New York, and made preparations to open up
the forests on a grand scale. About six miles
summit OF the mountains, he built for himself
a home. EndeaToring to implant In this wild
erness some memories of the land he had left,
he constructed a castle and furnished 1t with
all the embellishments that could be imported
into this out-of-the-way place. A beautiful
road winding up the mountain side on grad
ual assent led to his retreat -, Artists were re-
his castle, and the painter and glider gave
their handiwork to complete the structure.
while paper OF the most expensive kind covered
the walls and added its charms to the ed1fce.
One mammoth room was set apart as the con-
cert hall, and here Ole Bull exercised all his
ingenuity In It's decoration. The roof was COM
posed OF glass, and the barbaric splendor was

strains OF his violin and enter with spirit into
the gayeties and festivities with which Ole Bull
tried to surround himself. But all this was
doomed to mOulder and decay. Before the ar

to show itself. Dissatisfaction began to mani1

this land, and although he expended money
freely and tried to bring peace and harmony
among his retainers, the spectre of rebellion
would not vanish. About this time, too, he
discovered that the title to his land was not
worth the cost of its writing. He had bought
it from parties who had No claim on it what
ever, and now the real owner came forward
and asserted his rights. Overwhelmed by the
thickening troubles that came on him, he sud
denly abandoned all and reappeared again
among the haunts of civilization, and. with his
beloved violin as his companion, began to re-
trleye his wasted fortunes by trading the

leader gradually broke up and became scat
tered far and wide. Now scarcely one remains
behind to tell the story and record the history
OF New Bergen. The castle on the mountain
top suffered from the ravages of time and the
despoliation Of the curiosity seeker. Hundreds
visited the place, and most all carried away
some mememto OF this sole Bulls Folly" till
now scarcely log remains to mark the spot
The only reminder OF the past is In the name Of
the little village that clusters around the foot
OF the mountain. 1t is called Oleona, which is
supposed to be what remains after the "Short-
ening process" of ''Ole-owns-it."

An OklOhOma Ballad.
kansas City Times.l

Where rolIeth the Verdigris down to the sea,
Where the Chickasaw roams on the fowery lea,
Where the azure Wewoka sweeps on in its way
From old Pottowatomie down to the bay;
Where, the fipdap chirps cheerily out of the
gloam,
And the sad phialoo sings of mother and home
With my Cherokee maiden ensconced on my knee
And my Kickapoo darling, I'm pining to be.
Oh, tits rain that the gewgaw disports in the hedge
And the poll ywog glints in the slipperysome sedge
Or the proud cockadoodle sweeps down from her
nest,
And scars on the blizzard that yawps In the west:
The dado may wall in the Simmer Of MOON
And charm the dull Seminole ear with his tune
It ls still am pouring my passionate tide
To the love that bear for my kickapoo BRIDE
chase the fierce tittlebat out of his lair
wove the shy gingersnap into my snare
hunt the wild tattletale over the hill,
And coax the coy cocklebu,r out of the rill,
And the Boegywok sQuaw in her wampum is clad,
And my Ilshmingo beauty goes hiphop with glee,
And my KickapOo darling reclines on my knee.

GIT WAS THE CAT.o

When aroused from meditation
By some noisy disturbation
Ills ones natural inclination
To exc aim: ''Oh, what was that"
At first you're all confusion,
Then you think it deiusion,
Then you come to the conclusion
That it muet have been the cat.
When father overhearing
A farewell in terms endearing
'Twixt young man, disappearing,
And his daughter, thinks 1t pat
To demand an explanation
OF that sound like OSCILLATION,
She replies, with hesitation,
That it must have been the cat.
When at midnight, sounds appalling
Like the noise of some one falling
And voice in anguish calling,
Makes your heart go pit a. pat,
You're sure it's burglars breaking
In your door, and you lie quaking
And shivering and shaking,
When it only is the cat. boston Post.

these attract dust than to have the margins

THE BEST ADVERTISING MEDIUM IN THE
UNITED STATES.
Its influence as an agent of publicity has in
deed practically no limit within the boundaries
of the country. The best evidence of this is the
number of new advertisements 1t printed In the
year 1879, which reached 30, 636, averaging
from 1.7OO to 1900 per month in the busy
season.! These figures include only the sub
Ject of the advertisement, and not any change
of the matter, which, in some instances, is made
daily, and, although new advertisement In
fact is not counted but once, instead of 80 pup

to the inspection of advertisers to verify this
