Cu,ious Wedding Gifts.

According to the Scotsman, the wedding
Gifts which the Sunderland excursion party
brought with them on their abOrtiye expedi-
ton 10 It. klda, and which were left at
Oban on their return there, must have been
rather unique. They have been shipped on
board the Clansman for return ID Sunder-
land. Twenty-eight packages in all were
shipped, says the Scotsman: "ILe ultl-
mate destination Of the American organ and
the pork pie is still undecided, and they re-
main at Oban meantime, though u Is not
improbable that the pork pie may soon de-
eide the matter for itself. one or two other
articles. for the return Of which it was
evidently not thought worth while to incur
the expense Of carriage, were also leit. \
rather curious incident occurred while the
presents were lying in the steamer shed at
Oban. Three young rats, which were pos
sibly exploring for the pork PIE, got by
some mischance into the hamper contain
ing the bridal bouquet, and set themselves
10 have a good time, but the unusual fare
had evidently disagreed with them, for
when the hamper was removed from the
shed the three young rats were iOipd dead,
nesting in the bouquet"

ADEADLY COLD BED.
If trustworthy statistics could be had of
the humber of persons who die every year,
or become permanently diseased, from Sleep
ing in damp or cold beds, they would be as
tonishing and appalling. 1t is peril that
constantly besets travelling men, and if they
are wise they will invariably insist on having
their bed aired and dried, even at the risk
Of causing much trouble to their landlords.
But the peril resides in the home, and
the cold spare ROOM has slain its
thousands of hapless guests, and will go
on with its slaughter till people learn
wisdom. Not only the guest, but the
family often suffer the penalty of sleeping in
cold rooms, and chilling their bodies at
time when they need all their bodily heat,
getting between cold sheets Even in warm
summer weather cold, damp bed win get in
its deadly work. 1t is needless peril, and
the neglect to provide dry rooms and beds
has in 1t the elements of murder and suicide.

THE HISTORY OF BUTTER.
Butter, which is almost indispensable
nowadays, was almost unknown to the an
clients. Herodotus is the earliest writer to
mention it. The Spartans used butter, but
as an ointment and Plutarch tells how the
wife of Dei0torous once received visit from
a Spartan lady whose presence was intoler-
able because she was smeared with butter.
The Greeks learned of butter from the Scyth-
lans. and the Germans showed the Romans
how 1t was made. The Romans, however,
did not use it for food. but for amounting
their bOdieS.-BOSton Globe,

have given to the interested observer inspir-

enterprise Of commercial and domestic life

rising of the sun seemed the signal for the
steam whistles of the dozens Of factories and
workshops to Justify scream out that the
time had come for all able to work and "be
about" to bestir themselves. At this an
nouncement that the hour Of the days labor

marching to us In dress parade they assumed
thousands of bright, beautiful and fantastic
illusions, making the morning sky Jocund
with forms that danced merrily as they
gathered upward to the empy rean to do their
destined work of making clouds. The writer
would have been delighted had opportunity
afforded to have viewed more fully this

Hounds NOT Wolves.

A reporter of the Bangor Wing and Courier
had talk with Game Warden Thomas +.
Allen in relation to the reports which have
appeared In some OF the papers recently con-
corning the appearance OF wolves Ia this
State ana the driving Of the deer to various
places. Mr.. Hen believes that there Is not
a wolf In the State, and that 1t Is the hounds
which are driving the deer about and not inc
peared stating that there are now forty deer
where there was one few years ago, and q
well known hunter who believes In hunting
deer with dogs, Is cited as saying that the deer
are all worklsg northwaId; Deer have re-
dooryards. The reason for this, Mr. Allen
SAYS, Is that the hounds chase them, they run
they know not where, and are frequently
driven to the confines OF CIVILIZATION 10 escape
the hounds, which have the same instints as
the wolf, and the inoffensiye are aware that
both are deadly enemies. Several cases nave
recently occurred where deer have lately
appeared In the fields and do0ryards In the
outskirts of the city, and 1t was not long ago
when one actually ran into the city ana was
captured In the street.
The hunters in the southern and eastern
parts of the State have agreed that the deer
have either gone nOrthwaTd or are working
that way, and people in the northern part OF
the State say that the animals are fast In
creasing in numbers in that region. III. as
is repOl ted, wolves have appeared within the
borders of the State, and the hounds are
allowed to continue their work, then there Is
as stated, DANCES of total DETERMINATION OF
the deer but Mr.. Allen believes that not
wolf can be found in the State. IL they are
prowling about, why have not some OF the
numerous hunters shot some of them? There
is no evidence that any Of them have done
so.
1t would pay hunter we'll to shoot few
wolves, as upon each there Is bounty OF 80
offered by the State, the Commissioners offer
| IS more, and the skin Of tine first wolf Will
be wor $40 additional II brought into this
city, with an affidavit that the animal was
killed in this State. The commissioners and
hunters in this sections do not believe the
reports regarding the appearance OF wolves
| in Maine forests, nor will they until conclu-
sive evidence is given that the animals said
to have been yroivee euehs There Is n
| good opportunity for people who have
| Thought they have seen wolves TO be mis-
| taken, and the chances are very much d
| gainst there being any Of these ravenous
| animals In Maine.
