Cruelty to Infants.

There is one barbarous practice still
occasionally INDUCED in at Old Orchard
as at other places where surf bathing is
pastime. 1t is quite as cruel as bull
fights, and as the cruelty is perpetrated
in Christian land and ofttimes by moth
ers it is all the more glazing. We refer
to the custom of taking so many terri
fed infants out into the waves and hold
ing them down in the water. Such a
spectacle witnessed in a mornings walk
will spoil a days enjoyment. The suf-

Discovering Hidden Money.

Charles w. Duntz lives on the Land
ing road near the Halfway House.
Tuesday morning while his wife was
engaged in cleaning a portrait that had
been in their possession more than a
quarter Of Il century, she accidentally
broke through a cover on the back and
saw underneath it piece of paper. She
pulled it out and found that it was an
old two dollar bill. She called her sons
attention to it, and the lad took the
cover Off Underneath it they found
two $500 bills, issued by bank in Mas
sachusetts-one in 1856, the other in
1861.
During the day Mr.. Duntz took the
bills to the Union bank and learned that
the bank of issuance was still in exist
ence, and that the bills were probably
genuine and worth their face value.
Mr.. Reynolds, teller of the bank, COM
municated with the Massachusetts bank
people and learned that it had $500 bills
of the old state issue still out and was
ready to redeem them if they We're gen
uine.
About twenty-eight years ago this
picture was sent to Mr.. Duntz by a
wealthy relative, who requested that it
should be carefully kept in the family,
the portrait being that of daughter
who is still living. Mr.. Duntz, thinks
that the donor placed the money Where
it was found, expecting that it would
be discovered some day when it would
be of some real benefit to the finder.
She was very peculiar in her ways at
all times.-Kinderhook Rough Notes.

The Rage for Andirons.

Andirons play an important part in the
current rage for antiques, and the manu-
facturers are turning out by cheap proc
esses an enormous number Of andirons
modelled on early patterns. The cheapest
are Of cast iron, but they please nobody
with taste and knowledge, except when
they are massive and Of artistic design.
The art of spinning brass has made il pos
sible for workers TO produce all kinds Of
brazen articles, including andirons. at very
low rates The cheap andirons Of spun
and sheet brass are distinguished easily
from the true antiques, which were made
of cast brass, and often in highly ornate
designs. Spun brass articles are produced
by submitting thin brass to a high pres
sure
Spun brass balls, such as are used for
the cap pieces of andirons, are made in two
hemispheres and screwed or soldered to-
gether The shafts Of cheap andirons are
made often OF spun brass or Of brass tub
ing In all the earlier andirons similar
parts were cast. In some Of the modern
andirons cast brass and spun brass are
combined. Extremely elaborate modern
andirons initiate the Italian style of the
Thirteenth and Fourteenth centuries.
They are massive, with figures. Other
massive and elaborate andirons initiate
the French styles of the Seventeenth cen

After the Sixteenth century they were
generally men Of ability, and literature
contains many illustrations Of their witty
retorts and wise reflections. Dean Swift
wrote an epitaph on one Dicky Pearce, the
Earl of Suffolk fool q72s). Another wrote
See, yonder goes old Mendax telling lies
10 that good easy man with whom he's walk
ing;
How do know that2 you ask with some sur
prise;
why, don't you see, my friend, the fellows
talking.
And still another quotation that is full
Of philosophy;
The world of fools has such a store,
That he who would not see an ass
Must bide at home and bolt his door
And break his looking glass.
A French Jester Boosting of his nobility
asserted that in his fathers castle they used
no other frewood than the batons Of the
different marshals of France of bis family.
Another, hearing of the exploits of GER
tain prince, who claimed TO have killed six
men with his own hands, promptly replied
'Bah, that is nothing; the mattress sleep
on is stuffed with the whiskers of those
have sent to the other world"
Volumes might be filed with the wit Of
the so called court fools, and we can easily
understand how poor Wallet earned his
title of "The Queens Jester" and learned
perhaps that "he who lives without folly
IS not so wise as he imagines."

Sand Dunes in Gascony.

One Of the most interesting and remark
able of the many regions for the observa-
ton OF sand dunes lies between Bordeaux
and Bayonne, in Gascony. The sea here
throws every year upon the beach, along a
line of 100 miles in length. some 100000
cubic yards Of sand.
The prevailing westerly winds continue
picking up the surface particles from the
westward side, whirl them over TO the in
ward slope, where they are again deposit
ed. and the entire ridge by this means
alone moves gradually inward. In the
course of years there has thus been formed
a complex system Of dunes, all approx
mately parallel with the coast and with
one another, and Of all attitudes up TO $50
feet. These are marching steadily inward
at a rate Of from three 10 six feet year,
whole villages having sometimes been torn
down to prevent burial and rebuilt at
a distance. Goldthwaite's Geographical

considerable influence. One Of the most
celebrated Of these was favorite of Fran

which were inscribed the names Of courtiers
who had committed acts OF indiscretion.
The titular fool Of Louis XIII was also an
important parsonage, and the emperor
Ferdinand II carried Jodel, his court Jes-
