A Cat That Eats Cucumbers.
Boston Herald.l

James ID. Van Valen, of Hackensack, has
in his possession a very fine Maltese cat,
which has developed remarkable liking for
green vegetables. This season the taste of
the animal became 30 pronounced as to cause
Inconvenience to the family. Its owner
wondered for some time what became of the
cucumbers on bis vines, and, by careful
watching be ascertained that they were ap-
proprieted by the cat, which has discrimi-
mating eye, and allows the vegetables to grow
about an inch and half in length before it
eats them, but 1t searches the vines and eats
the cucumbers before they are fit for the
table.

Gardiner Local News.

The lecture course opened very auspic-
iously Friday evening. A large and fine
audience was in attendance, and listened
with deep interest for more than two hours
while Col. Conwell portrayed in his brilliant
manner the scenes, anecdotes and lessons
gained from his extensive travels abroad.
The intense silence which at times pervaded
the hall told better than ringing applause how
completely the lecturer controlled his hear
ers. Should Col. Conwell come to Gardiner
again there is no doubt but that he will be
greeted by still larger audience even if it
is impossible to have more apprecative
one. The next lecturer in the course is
Rev. j. Benson Hamilton of Lewiston, who
speaks next Friday evening on Everyday
Heroism."
Friday night, Dec. 10, Robert p. Atkins,
the l6 years old son of Mr.. Joseph Atkins,
died at the residence of his father in Farm
ingdalc. About four weeks ago ''BOb." as
he was familiarly called, was taken sick,
which preventing him from attending school,
which began at about that time. The sick
ness finally assumed the form of pneumonia,
which terminated fatally. At the time of
his death he was a member of the Gardiner
high school. and had advanced to the second
class in the English course His death will
be keenly felt by the scholars, with whom he
was a general favorite. When he was con-
| sidered beyond medical assistance his sister,
Miss Carrie Atkins, who has been attending
| school abroad, was sent for; but she did not
arrive till he had passed away. His sorrow
ing sister and parents will receive the SYM
pathy of n large circle of friends in their
bereavement.

BURNED TO DEATH.
Shocking Accident i'm HallowelI.

One of the saddest accidents we have had to
record for some time occurred in house at the
south end of Water street, Hall0well, Satur-
day forenoon. A little boy named Davie Nc
Laughlin, the three years old son of John
Mclaughlin, respectable and deserving cit
izen of our sister city, was left alone in the
stting-room for a few minutes. He was
playing on the floor near an air-tight stove,
the slide of which was open. spark flew
out which fell upon the light clothing of the
boy, and IN an instant his garments
were afre. His agonized shrieks
of terror drew his mother to his assis-
lance. She rushed into the room, and un-
mindful of burns upon her own hands, brave
ly tore the blazing dress from her little one.
1t was almost too late. The boy-a beauti-
full little fellow-was horribly burned. His
back, breast. armpits and legs were mass
Of bloody and shrivelled flesh. DIR. Crooker
was telephoned for. No response was re-
ceived and DIR. Thompson was summoned.
DIR. Crooker afterwards arrived. All that
medical skill could do was done. The wounds
we're dressed and bandages in oil silk ap-
Piled The child fingered on in a comatose
state-apparently suffering but little--through
the afternoon and into the night, until early
Sunday morning the angel of death released
him from all further agony.
