Maren BazzarIa.

Soon after Eitz-Greene Halleck had
published his stirring Marco Bozzaris,
he repeated the poem to lady. an init
mate friend of his She expressed great
admiration of the beautiful lines. but
when he was in full enjoyment of what
he considered her perfect appreciation
she surprised him by the innocent query:
"Who was Marco Bozzaris?'
We'll" said Mr.. Halleck, Respondent
ly, whats the use of becoming martyrs
for liberty or of poets celebrating heroes
if ladies' won't even inform themselves
about the events of the day?"
The remembrance of another incident
connected with the poem never failed to
elicit a groan from its author.
At certain dinner party at which he
was present it was expected that each
man should sing song or make a speech.
Among the guests was Dutch Jew,
whose English was execrable, and he
had been previously persuaded by joker
to commit the whole of Marco Bozzaris
to memory that he might recite it for the
qualification of the poet and the poets
friends.
The day came and the Dutchman was
called upon to speak.
"Shentlemans, said he rising, II can
neither make de speech nor sing de song,
but viii deliver Won grand poem"
This he proceeded relentlessly to do,
and Halleck, when he heard his harmo-
NOUS measures delivered in mixture
of English and Dutch, was divided be-
tween the temptation to laugh and cry.

Finding His Bride.

In one part of the Canton Of Ticino a
very quaint marriage ceremony prevails.
The bridegroom dresses in his Sunday
best" and accompanied by as many
friends and relatives rs he can muster
for the fete goes to claim his bride.
Finding the door locked he demands
admittance; the inmates ask him his
business, and in reply he solicits the
hand of his chosen maiden.
If his answer be deemed satisfactory
he is successfully introduced to a num-
Der of matrons and maids, some perhaps
deformed and others old and ugly. Then
he is presented to some large dolls. al
of which he rejects with scorn, amid
general merriment. The bewildered
bridegroom whose impetuosity and
temper are now sorely tried, is then in
formed that his lady love is absent and
invited in to see for himself.
He rushes into the house and searches
from room to room until he finds her il
her bridal dress, ready to go to church
Then are his troubles over and his sta Il
as benedict assured.-Swiss Republic.

Caught.

At certain station large quantities OF
plums and apples were being reported
as missing almost daily in the large
hampers and baskets that We're sent to
London. Circumstances pointed to the
probability of the pilfering taking place
at the sending station. The agent hit
upon novel plan for detecting the thief.
He had a lad porter placed in one OF
these hampers returning empty, which
was large enough to hold him, covered
the top with canvas and labeled 1t
..Plums- Perishable." with the address
in full.
Toward midnight the lad got cramped
and felt anxious to get out, but he stuck
nanfully to his post. By and by one OF
the night shunters came into the shed to
examine the wagons labeled for the next
train. He groped about the packages,
and cut hole in the canvas OF the ham
Nor where the lad was concealed and
felt for the plums.
He was terrified, however. to find his
hand firmly gripped, and almost TAINTED
with fright when the porter revealed
himself and recognized him, with large
basket full of fruit by his side. Inc
shunter was in couple OF days dis
missed and the porter received promo
tion.-London Tit-Bits.

One of the most. interesting characters
Taylor, '.Old Rough and Ready" hero of
Buena Vista, father-in-law of jefferson
Davis and twelfth president of the United
States. We all recollect how Daniel
Webster sneered at him, before he was
nominated, as a ''backwoods colonel"
and refused to let his friends put him on
the ticket for vice president with Taylor
for first place. thereby missing his last
and, as the sequel showed, best chance
of becoming president Willard Fill
more, of New York, took the despised
second place and thereby had nearly
three years in the White House.
General Sherman used to tell an anus
ing little story of Taylor anent his nomi-
nation for the presidency. AT that time
General Taylor was stationed at New Or
leans He was a Kentuckian and the
Kentuckians We're very properly proud of
him. One day shortly before the conven-
ton met at Baltimore he was approached
at New Orleans by an old Kentucky
friend, who said:
General, we want you to run for presi-
dent"
"Who wants me to rum asked Gener-
al Taylor seriously.
why. we do-all your old neigh
bors."
well, then, if that's the CASE" replied
the old hero, without changing the ex-
preston of his face, Il reckon I'll have
to run. Detroit Free Press.

How creolea Cook erul,..

The creole style of cooking hard shell
crabs is highly approved by epicures. but
1t doesn't recommend itself to Mr.. Bergh's
society for the prevention of cruelty A
big iron pot is put over very hot FIRE.
The bottom OF the pot is then covered with,
say, three pints of the best white wine
vinegar, into which few pinches Of salt
are thrown. Upon this is spfinkled red
pepper. Then two or three narrow sticks
are placed above the liquid, the ends rest
ing at the sides of the pot The cover is
put conveniently by for hurried action.
Then the live crabs are packed in to the
full and the cover is put on. The steam
OF the condiments soon enwraps Them and
when the carapax is cardinal red, "a dish
fit for the gods' is ready for the refriger-
ator and then for the table 1t is said by
those who have eaten crabs cooked in this
peculiar way that the natural moisture
and flavor of the meat are preserved and
that the boiled condiments give singular
piquancy to it. Baked tomatoes partly
stuffed with crab meat is a new delicacy,
and juicy tomato with layer of crab
meat cooked creole style isn't so bad. 1t
is called yum-yum and is fully entitled to
its suggestive designation.-New York

The circular saw was i'll operation for
saving lumber on our falls some years
previous to 1920. The inventors of the
circular saw were Messrs. Jacquith &
Eastman, who carried on the manufacture
of lumber in the cove, their mill occupy
ing the site where the pulp mill now
stands. | well remember seeing this saw
in operation previous to 1920, cutting out
clapboards. The logs were sawed into
four feet lengths and placed on n machine
propelled by water power and somewhat
similar to a turning lathe, where the
bark and sap wood were taken off They
were then fastened on the clapboard
machine, the log turning on its center and
a row of clapboards cut off by circular
saw around the log, and if the log was Of
sufficient dimensions second row was
taken off. The log was propelled back
and forward and turned by machinery,
giving the thickness of Il clapboard by an
index without the aid of mill man. The
machine was considered great invention
at the time and attracted much attention
from strangers visiting the town.-BrNns-
wick (NIe) Telegraph.

Trying to Buy Back His Own Body,

This queer story comes from Massa-
chusetts: A man who lives in il suburb
of Lowell is seeking to have deed given
by him twenty years ago recovered The
deed conveyed his body to Il surgeon now
pLacticing in Great Falls, NJ H., for the
sum of ten dollars and other considera-
tions, possession to be taken on his death
Since the deed was made the giver has
made fortune in South America and
has decided that he would like Chris
tian burial. The deed provides that the
body shall be dissected and the skeleton
articulated and presented to medical
university. The lawyers have decided
that the deed holds good and that the
only alternative is to buy off the doctor
The giver of the deed has made big
offer, but it has been refused. Hartford

others to an almost inconceivable per
