Many people are under the impression
that the cucumber is very indigestible, and
when they eat it they do so under protest
and with apprehensions of dire conse-
quences. How this delusion can have
arisen it is difficult to say. unless it be that
cucumber is often eaten with salmon and
indigestible table friends. 1t is not the Gu
cumber, however, but the salmon that sits
80 heavily upon our stomach's throne. Gu
cumber, in fact, is very digestible when
eaten properly. 1t cannot, indeed, be other
wise when it is remembered that it consists
mainly of water, and that these parts
which are not water are almost exclusively
cells of very rapid growth. In eating Gu
cumber It is we'll to cut it into thin slices,
and to masticate them thoroughly. Even
the vinegar and the pepper that are so often
added to it are of service to the digestion
if not taken to excess. The cucumber, as
everyone knows, belongs to the melon tribe
but in our somewhat cold country it does
not grow to any very large size, and there
fore it is tirmer and looks less digestibl'
than its congener, the melon Londol

Dan Locl.wood,s Great Effort.

Congressman-elect Lockwood away
back in his school days at Hamburg
was an orator of such note that he was
chosen valedictorian of his class. He
prepared for the event by ordering
new pair of shoes. Late in the after
noon of the great day the shoes came.
But, good heavensl they wouldn't go
on. Dan hadn't another pair tit for
use. He summoned the shoemaker to
a conference, and, while the perspira-
ton rolled off his face, he explained
the situation.
THAT'S nothing" said Crispin; get
a couple of eggs and break one into
each shoe"
Dan did so, and the result was charm
ing. He went into those shoes like a
ducks foot in the mud. His vale
dictory was the greatest effort of Lock
woods career up to that date. The
words were honeyed and the gestures
as graceful as a snake swallowing a
frog. All his friends and relatives were
spellbound. But right in the midst of
it the author stopped. Agony was in
carnate in his features His hair rose
on end. He became pale and red in
turns.
What was the matter2 Had he for
gotten his speech9 No; he had just
thought of those two egg omelets, and
would have given all he had or ever
hoped to have for chance to laugh

Connecticut's Newgate.

Lonely, in ruins, but yet picturesque,
the old Newgate prison of Connecti-
cut, named for its London prototype
of gloomy memory. stands upon a
green hillside in the town of East
CRANKY. Viewed with n glass from
Bartlett's tower. a lofty observation
point away across the Pennington
river, it resembles an old castle-tur-
reted. moated, bearing the unmistak-
able marks of age. This old mine
prison holds a unique place among the
antiquities of New England
Today. as one stands beside its
crumbling and vine covered walls and
looks across the peaceful valley of the
Pennington, with its quiet villages. it
is not easy to realize that the place has
a history written in blood and suffer
ing. Only a descent into its subterra-
mean caverns puts the visitor in the
mood to feel the spirit of the stories
which the place has to tell.
Newgate has been successively cop
per mine, colonial prison, a military
prison in the Revolution and state
prison. The first chapter of its history
opened in 1705, and the last chapter
closed over sixty years ago Wien inc
prisoners of the state were removed 10
better quarters in the new prison at
WethersfclN The amateur mining OF
its carly history, conducted d-AI- llLst ~
clergymen, had a comic cast The
horrors of its later history were tragic,
and through them we gain some in
