Free School Picnic.

The boys Of the Free School had glorious pic
mic last Friday, and not only did the boys of the
school enjoy it, but the girls and boys, large
and small, who did not belong to the school,
aud number of us old boys and--girls
look lively interest in the fun. We did not
engage in the races OF bag jumping, therefore we
none of the prizes, but we took our full
share of chicken, pie, cake and lemonade, when
they came round.
Mr.. britton, the very popular teacher Of the
school was as deep in all the sports as the boys
were, and prove his school discipline by the
complete control he had of the boys out Of
school and the respect they eviuced for him
We saw some awful tall running that day, and
the boys didn't do all the running either.
1t seemed to us that the whole of the town
and some OF the country had taken an interest
in it and sent their best things to eat, their
prettest girls and most gallant Leaux to make
the day enjoyable.

BEER IN THE FATHERLAND:

While the taste for beer seems to
be gradually giving way in. England
before the growing attractions of
more ardent spirituous drinks, the
robust appetite of the German con-
tinues with unabated zeal to patron,
ize the malt liquor to which he has
been SO long addicted The statistics
of the Empire show that last year the
consumption of beer within the
Fatherland amounted to no less than
S30,0O0,00O gallons. OF this amount
about 24,000.000 were consumed in
Baden, 70,000,000 in Wurtemberg,
and 265,000,000 in Bavaria; the rest
being provided for Prussia and the
smaller States by 1900 breweries
which are there established. The
taxes on these places of business
amounted, one way and another, to
about $3.50, 600. beside some f2Q,000
levied on exports of beer. The pro-
portion in which various nationalities
in the Empire indulge in their favor
ite drink is by no means uniform.
Thus, the general average is about
eighty quarts year for each individ-
ual, and in the Kingdom of Prussia
the average is rather less than this.
In Alsace Lorraine it descends as low
as fifty quarts. But every Badener
drinks on an average about one hun
dred and seventy quarts, or nearly
pint a day, and every Bavarian at
least two hundred It is necessary,
to arrive at a fair estimate of what
this means, to deduct from the total
of consumers in the Kingdom many
of those who, living in the Palatinate,
drink wine rather than beer. When
this abatement is made and allow
ance also given for the women, who
are not great topers, and such chill
dren as are not yet nurtured upon
malt liquor, it will be seen that the
adult male native Of Bavaria who
drinks beer at all regularly has to ac-
count during the twelve months for
something not far short Of half gal
Ion a day.

A CLOWN ELEPHANT.--Among the
many curious THINGS done by the
trained elephants in the London
show is a scene where one elephant,
dressed as clown, walks into the
ring and sits down on a chair.
Reaching out his trunk he picks up a
dinner bell on the table in front of
him and rings it for dinner. A SER
want enters with a loaded tray and
places square meal upon the table.
The clown elephant then helps him
self gracefully to the various dishes,
picks up champagne bottle filed
with water and empties it into his
mouth. He then takes napkin and
wipes each side of his mouth. The
servant removes the tray of dishes,
and the elephant. picking up palm
leaf fan with his trunk, leans back in
his chair and leisurely fans himself.
Professor Arstingstall, his trainer,
proposed teaching him to smoke a
pipe of tobacco, but Mr.. Barnum re-
marked that his performers and army
of employees We're men of exemplary
character. and his clown elephant
should not be permitted to demoral
ize them by setting them bad ex-
amples. i Bridgeport Standard.

JAMES BOWIE AND HIS KNIFE.

James Bowie lay for months in his
bed in the city of Natchez, before he
recovered from his wound. He was
man of much mechanical ingenuity,
and while thus confined whitfield
from piece of white pine the model
of hunting knife, which he sent to
two brothers named Blackman in the
city of Natchez, telling them to spare
no expense in making duplicate of
it in steel This was the origin of
the dreaded bowie knife. It was
made from large saw mill file, and
its temper was afterward improved
upon by the Arkansas blacksmith.
This is all that can be told about the
origin of that death-dealing imple-
ment Since James Bowie became
somewhat prominent in his efforts to
advance the spread of republican in
stitutions it is proper to speak of
what he did. He seemed to have a
natural disposition to protect the
weak from the strong. At one time
he was riding through the parish of
Concordia, La, and saw a man lash
ing his slave with his whip. He told
the man to desist, but he was met
with curses He dismounted from
his horse, wrested the whip from the
master and laid it over his shoulders.
This led to a shooting match in which
the slave owner was badly wounded.
Bowie after submitting himself to
the law, paid the doctors bill, pur-
chased the slave at double his value,
and gave him his freedom. . rs I.i.I
In after years Methodist minister
told this: He said he was one of the
first Methodist ministers sent to
Texas by the Methodist Conference.
He travelled on horseback, crossing
the Mississippi below Natchez; that
the first day after crossing the Mis-
sissippi river he was overtaken by
horseman dressed in buckskin, armed
with rifle. pistol, and knife. They
entered into conversation and he
found him to be intelligent, pleasant,
and we'll acquainted with the geog-
raphy of the country: Neither one
inquired the name or business of
the other. Both were aiming at the
same destination, Texas. Finally
they reached new town filed with
wild, desperate characters from
other States. He posted a notice
that he would preach at the court
house the first evening of his arrival
there. At the hour named he found
the rude structure thronged to over
flowing with men only. He gave
out hymn, and all joined in sing
ing, and sung it WE'LL but when he
announced his text and attempted to
preach, one brayed in imitation of an
ass, another hooted like an owl, etc.
He disliked to be driven from his
purpose, and attempted again to
preach, but was stopped by the same
species Of interruptation. He stood
silent and still, not knowing whether
to vacate the pulpit or not. Finally
his travelling companion, whom he
did not know was in the house, arose
in the midst and with stentorian
voice said: MEN, this man has
come here to preach to you. You
need preaching to, and I'll be - if
he shan't preach to you! The next
man that disturbs him shall fight me-
My name r is Jim Bowie" The
preacher said that after, this an
nouncement he never had a more at
tentive and res pectful audience, so
much influence had Bowie over that
reckless and dangerous element.

THE LOST LINK.

There is now being exhibited at
the Royal Aquarium in London a
strange hairy little creature named
Krao. Krao is described as a very
bright-looking. intelligent girl of
about seven years of age She was
caught, according to the account
given of her, in the forest near Laos,
and brought to England by MIR. Carl
Book, Norwegian, who, since the
expedition described by him in The
Head Hunters of Borneo,' has been
exploring Siam and the,wilder States
to the northeast. Hearing in various
ouarters of the existence of race OF
hairy tailed men, similar in appear
ancs to family kept at the Court of
Mandalay, he offered a reward for
the capture of a specimen. A man
was caught and with him the child
now exhibited. and woman of sim.
liar appearance then allowed herself
to be taken. When the little one at
