A 1--we Package in the Dead Letter once.

A Live Package in the Dead Letter Office.
Is it to be expected that an ordinary
clerk. without special remuneration,
shall expose himself to the dangers Incl
dent to the opening of the multitudinous
and mysterious packages that are left as
metaphorical foundlings upon the figura-
tive doorstep of the postmaster general?
Lest these perils be deemed imaginary, it
may be appropriate to refer to seventeen
snakes that arrived together on one oc-
casion in parcel of the sort described,
although they were all very much alive,
especially rattler, eight feet In length
and one Of the biggest ever captured,
that ratified its nine rattles and showed
its fangs to the unaffected dismay of the
young gentleman who undid the bundle.
So great was his embarrassment that
he failed at the moment to keep accu-
rate count Of the reptilian consignment,
and three weeks later the entire Office
was set In stir by the unexpected ap-
pearance from beneath his desk of a
three foot adder speckled in yellow and
black. Owing to the fact that adders of
other than the arithmetical variety are
discouraged in government offices, this
particular serpent is now enjoying a
perennial spree in bottle of alcohol on
shelf in the postofice Department.

origin of an Old Fad.

A practice was common about fifty
years ago Of rubbing the eye in q peculiar
way from the outer to the inner corner,
the result being, as was supposed, to
strengthen the sight. The practice orig
mated with President John Quincy
Adams, who had what is called "a
weeping eye," disease having caused the
closing of some of the ducts, SO that he
was forced to wipe away the overfowing
moisture about once in every five min
utes He always wiped his eye from the
outer to the inner corner, and some one
noticing this peculiar action, and know
ing also that, although he had passed his
etghtieth year, he never used spectacles,
connected the two facts and started the
theory that rubbing the eye in the way
indicated prevented the changes insep-
arabic from advancing years. For time
all the old people in the country spent
half their time rubbing their eyes, but
the fad soon died out, and is now scarce
ly remembered, save by some old man
who saw people practicing 1t when he
was a boy. Interview in st. Louis

A Mnnstar Fish.

Thompson Blanton, of Flatwoods, has
secured the biggest fish that has been
taken out of the St. Francois river for
years past. Together with his family, Mr..
B. has been spending several days in the
vicinity where the Little St. Francois flows
into the Big ST. Francois, camping, fishing
and having good time generally. One
morning he took boat and went out gig
ging. He hadn't went far when he dis
tinguished big moving mass in the
stream. At first he couldn't tell what it
was, but as the boat drew nearer he dis
covered that it was monster fish. He let
the gig fly, struck center, and hauled his
game in. 1t proved to be big shovel cat
Fish, measured four feet from tip to tip, tvs
feet in circumference and weighed alm0SL
half hundred pounds.
The whole family lived on fish for three
days, and in veri6cation of the truthful
ness of his story Thompson brought the
head of the Ish into town. 1t alone was
over one foot in length and fully six inches
in diameter. 1t is the biggest fish story Of
the season, and what makes it fully SO Is
that there Is no exaggeration in the tale.
The head is now on exhibition at the Pilot
Knob drug store, where the doubter can
go and assure himself of the reliability of
these statements. (Mo.) Register.

BOILED CIDER.
What This old-Fashioned Syrup Is
and What Good For.

Cider mOlasses, or as 1t is sometimes
and perhaps more often called "boiled
cider" 80 or 40 years ago was consider
ed one of the necessary stores to Jay by
when apples were plenty by almost
every New England farmer, says the
Hartford Courant. In those days it
was made by hOiIing down sweet cider
in iron or brass kettles until it reached
The consistency of molasses.
1t was usually done out of doors and
the process was necessarily so slow
that it was rarely that enough would
be made to any more than supply the
household necessities. Consequently
1t was rarely thrown on the market,
which may account for its not becom-
ing u commodity for which there is
now steady demand.
The uses to which cider mOlasses can
be put are not so varied as the COM
mon m0lasses. 1t is chiefly used az a
fiavoriug. | we'll remember hearing
my grandmother say years ago that
There was nothing in the world so
good to flavor apple sauce or mince
pies as little boiled cider,n and GER
tainly for those purposes 1t has no
equal. A tablespoonful dissolved in
a glass of water makes fine sweet cider.
Again, add about three gallons OF
water to a gallon of the molasses and
let il work a few days, and the result
is an article infinitely better than the
regular hard cider, which so MANY
New England farmers think is SO es.
sential in haying time.
Cider molasses, if properly made
retains all the saecharine, or nutritive
matter contained in fruit, and the
boiling process only throws off or ex-
tracts the water, and by straining and
skimming, all foreign substances are
removed, leaving absolutely nothing
but the nutritive properties of the fruit
in a condensed form.
The juices of other fruits can as easi.
ly be treated in this manner, and the
product be perhaps still more valuable
than cider molasses.

Bad Luck In the spot.

There seems to be singular fatality rest
ing on the locality where young Will Ross
was killed by the explosion of his gun on
Okobojo creek, Sully county.
Near this same spot in the summer of
1885 two young ladies, the Misses Walter
and Kenney, were drowned while bathing.
Within a few rods stood the house of vii
liam McCune, which was destroyed by fire
In the summer of 1887 during the absence Of
both parents, and three young gchildren were
cremated. Later, one DR.: Veazie attempted
suicide in this same spot. He afterward
died from the effects of poison. Within
a short distance man named Porter was
killed by lightning. In the same locality
George Henderson was frozen to death. A
school teacher, Miss Yates, was thrown
from her pony and dragged to death over
the prairie, and German herder was killed
by a bucking bronco.-South Dakota Cor
