BILL BUGG OF BUGGvILLE.
Miss Biaine's Big Dog Destroys
His Fond Hopes.

Lewiston Journal
Long after the hour of midnight FRI
day an individual with an air of assert
i've digdity and an unsteady gait might
have been seen climbing the hill to Mr..
Blaine'S Bar Harbor cottage.
After making circuit of the house
he finally found what seemed to be an
entrance and rang bell at what hap
pened to be the kitchen door.
He rang twice, then knocked, and
then rung again.
'.WhoS thereof a voice with saw
teeth on it finally said:

Vile"
"What do you waut?"

"You can't"
Cant see who! Who is it I want to

or is it the chosen servant of the peo-
pie? Is this the abode of royalty or is

ACTIONS OF ANIMALS.

They Seem Able to Foretell thu
Coming of an Earthquake.
Youths Companion.
The lower animals are said to be
greatly terrified by earthquakes. and
their excitement beforehand is some,
times sufficient to foretell the event
No doubt they know we'll enough that
something terribleis taking place Prof.
Milne, a student of volcanic phenom.
ena., has recently given various in
stances of their behavior at such times.
During the Tokio earthquake of 1880
cats ran about the houses trying to es-
cape; foxes barked, and horses ats
tempted to kick down the boards con.
filming them in their stables. In the
Lisbon earthquake of 1749 roach and
other fish in a canal showed signs OF
confusion and fright, and fish have
been known, after an earthquake, to
rise to the surface dead and dying.
Most interesting of all are the obser.
yationS showing that animals are dis
turbed just befoSe shock. So well
known is this fact that, for while after
the great Calabrian earthquake, the
nelghing Of horse or the cackle of
goose was sufficient to send the terri
fed inhabitants flying from their
houses, in expectation of another
shock. Ponies have been known to
prance about their stalls. pheasantS to
scream and frogs to cease croaking
short time before the earth trent led.
The Japanese say that moles show
their agitation by burrowing.
Birds hide their heads beneath their
wings, and behave in an unusual man.
neI. Sometimes immense f1ocks of sea
birds fly inland, as if alarmed by an
oceanic disturbance. Before the shock
of 1885 in Chill, all the dogs are said to
have escaped from the city of Talcar
huano.
The most probable explanation of this
apparent foreknowledge is that animals
are sensitive to the slight tremors which
precede nearly all earthquakes. More
over, in volcanic districts poisonous
gases sometimes emanate from the
ground, and animals are presumed to
be unpleasantly affected by them.

artist, and represent the whole symbol

tave Dumoutier, the government official

CHOOSING,

She sat BY his side in the corner nook,
In the bloom and blush of youth,
And the maiden frankness of her brow
Was lit by the light of truth
Can the world condemn if her heart beat
fast
As the words she longed to hear,
With a sound like the sweep Of Loves silken
wing.
Broke softly on her ear?
But why in heT eyes Is that far-away glance?
And why is that catch in her voice?
All, who can tell all that may be hid
All that hes ina wCmans choiceE
Then her face Is raised. with a look TO his,
And with a smile ike the Graces wore:

In Bed With a Black Snake.

A short time ago Mrs. George Loutz-
berger. of West Newton. Penn, carried
her little daughter up stairs to put her to
bed. Turning back the covers, the
little one was placed in bed and snugly
covered up. Presently the child com
planned that she felt something moving
about her limbs. An investigation was
instituted by the mother, and when the
cover was taken from the bed a black
snake three and one-half feet long
sprang from the bed and fell at the
lady's feet. 1t made an attempt to get
away, but it was finally killed. A win
dow was up in the room, and it is sup

ST. PAUL SOCIETY.

The local four hundred have not
taken heart of grace, becoming the
opening of the social season. Much of
the promised gayety in connection with
the unlocking of the social gates Of
Janus, has not yet materialiZed. Last
week was unqueStiOnably and uncOm
pTOmiSingly duh in social sense, with
only one OF two events to relieve the
mnnotony. The fair may have had
something &c do it-that is to say, Mr..
BushnelTs pumpkin show at Hamline:
but it is much mere probable that the
fair sex had far greater responsible
ity. At all events. there was cOnspicu-
GUS dearth of social attractions for the
week.
The lake season is unquestionably
and uncOmprOmiSingly over. Every
hotel bar closed its doors for gOOd-Or

persistent cOttager who PIRATES of H.

The other says, "Oh, no, my love,

And thus they stand and handy words

Forty-Nine snakes in a Bunch

Gwynne (Ark.) Ripsaw.
j. B. Stokes brings US snake story
from L'Augille bottom, few miles west
of Vanda!ia. One day last week some
men were out hunting, when their dogs
bayed very large snake in cluster of
bushes. After killing it, one of the
party, having his curiosity aroused by
the enormous circumference of the
snake, cut it open and found inside
fOrty-eight other snakes of various sizes.
The little fellows hoisted their heads
and ran in different directions as soon
as they beheld the sunshine. There are
forty-nine snakes in one bunch, and
L'Auguille is not a bad country for
crawling animals, either.
