BottIins lars.


The old custom of bottling tears is
sill continued in Persia. 1t must be
very old, as it is alluded to in the psalms
of David. As the mourners are sitting
around and weeping, the master of cere-
monies presents each with piece Of
cottonwood, with which he wipes of
his tears This cotton is afterward
squeezed into bottle, and the tears are
preserved as . powerful and efficacious
remedy for reviving a dying man after
every other means have failed. It is also
employed as charm against evil influ-
ences. The practice was once universal.
as is eyinced by the tear-bottles which
are found in almost every ancient tomb.

Many readers Of the Times viii re-

who was borne on the shoulders Of .

and shell, and kept up the spirits Of the
tired, disheartened troops BY his rata

from his neck. That gallant little drum
mer boy is now, and has been for years
an officer Of our regular army.
Early settlers of New England were
summoned to church by the beating of a
drum, for they came forth bearing their
trusty fre-locks, ever on the alert for the
lurking savages, who many times at
tackled them in their rude log churches.
The drum plays a prominent part in
the following episode in American col
onial history. When Sir Edmund An
dros, the British governor general of
New England, entered th couI
chamber at Hartford, Conn, in October,
1857, accompanied by an armed guard
and several drummers and ffers, to de-
mand the surrender Of the charter Of the
colony, be drowned the protest Of the
members Of the council BY ordering
the drummers TO ''strike upw The wary
colonists, however. were too much for

tinguished the lights, and when fresh
candles we're brought the charter had
disappeared. Ithad been hastily removed
and hidden in hollow tree, afterward
famous as the Charter Oak" which
was still standing as recently as 1853, and
was regarded with national pride and
veneration.-Iroy Times.

below freezing point There were prize
drawings, snow-shoe races and match
shooting. Christmas afterward was 8
rare feast day, with good things served
to grace from all parts of the world. A
newspaper, hektograph print, was started,
called the Arctic Moon, was very ably
conducted and became quite popular. but
seems to have run out of news with few
numbers. Politics were discussed with
astonishing candor, and nothing was more
earnestly urged than the emigration Of
Chinese to that country, while the social
advantages and natural beauties of Africa
were glowingly recommended to the Arc
tic colony.
When the long night was ended and
the sun returned February %, the men
emerged from the darkness with coun-
tenances having the bleached-out sp-
pearance of potato vines growing in eel
lars, and the cold came down harder
than it had ever before been known
And now Rice began to record something
OF the hardships that, borne with for
titude evincing the highest moral bra
very, finally became unendurable with
the paucity of food, and starvation ac-
complished what the rigors of the winter
could not. It is singular that in all their
miseries, through the cold and darkness
and famine, that which most consoled
the forlorn wretches was the reading Of
old letters from far-away friends, whi-
ling away many weary hour when the
senses were too appalled, to be distracted
by other means. They were the last re-
membranes of civilization, of friends,
of love, of home.

SHE CHUNG TO HIS NECK.
''Ned BuntIine's" Daughter Captures a
Husband by Force.

Miss Edwardina NJ. JudsOn, the daugh-
ter of ''Ned Buntline," was before the
Westchester county, n. Y, grand jury a
few DAYS ago to seek redress from young
John Mccormack, of CrotOn Dam. The
grand jury brought in an indictment
against the gay youth, and when the Dep
uty Sheriff went in search of him he could
not be found.
Last April Mccormack and Miss Ed
wardina became engaged. She is a very
attractive young lady about Is years old,
who has resided for many years with her
mother, Kate JudsOn, in aud around
Chappaqua. Last June the young man
promised marriage. but afterward he re-
fused to make good his promise. When
the young girl went to White Plains to
lodge her complaint Mccormack kept
shady.
The night of the day upon which the
grand jury had the subject under consid-
Grafton he heard of the indictment and
told friend that he would marry the girl.
Later he heard that no bill had been found
and he changed his mind. When he finally
ascertained, after several days, that the
Sheriff was after him, he went to Smith
Lent, his counsel, and said he would
marry her at once. He was taken to the
young girls house, and when she saw him
she said: 'SNow I'll hold on to you until
you keep your promise" And fastening
her arms around his neck she chung like
a leech until he consented to go before the
court Immediately and be married. The
service was short, being witnessed by her
counsel, William b. Valentine, and Smith
Lent. After the ceremony the new huB.
