In the extensive collection of curiosities
that Captain Alvin Hall, of Deering, has
been accommodating during his many voy-
ages in the past twenty-five years is pair
OF mittens that at a casual glance has a
very ordinary appearance, and looks rather
out of place among the beautiful corals
and shells of the cabinet. But closer in
spection shows that they are no common
place mittens, but are made of human hair
very neatly woven. When drawn upon
the hands they feel as if the coolest at
mosphere could not penetrate them or the
toughest usage destroy them. They are
undoubtedly exceedingly warm and dura-
bic, for they have seen hard service on the
hands of a second mate of Captain Halls
vessel, whom he shipped In South America
two years ago.
The man was German, and said that
the mittens were made from his wife's
hair. He gave them to Captain Hall, since
ne had another pair made from mixture
OF the hair of his mother and sisters. The
hairs of this second pair were of several
colors, the white of his aged mother being
prominent. He said it was not an infre-
nuent custom among German sailors to be
thus supplied with mittens for voyage,
and certainly it is a sensible economy to
thus utilize the combings from the heads
of their families, which would otherwise
be thrown away.-Portland Transcript.

S. X. Bell of Fort Edward, N. Y, who
was prosecuted and paid S25S hard money
for five steers which the owner. S. Y.
FELTON, of Orwell. claimed we're stolen
from the pasture, has, says an exchange,
fully vindicated his innocence from any
wrong or crooked dealing by the arrest
of one G. L. Hatch, sort of travelling
wolf, who sold the steers to Mr.. Bell.
Hatch was apprehended recently and
made to appear before Poultney
magistrate charged with larceny in the
second degree, and the outcome of the
whole business is that Hatch wiggled out
of the scrape by paying the complainant
$3.50. MI. Bell is made wiser by his ex-
perience and hereafter will look out a
little sharper when dealing with entire
strangers.
