1t is stated that there is scarcely
living fish in any of the creeks or rivera
in Sweet Home, Tex, or vicinity, in
consequence of the late rain, which
washed down so much sediment from
the black land that the water became
SO thick the fish could not breathe
The steamer Ems, which arrived in
New York the other day, reports pass
ing an iceberg in latitude 43 degrees
on which were seen two large polar
bears. The steamer did not stop to in
terfere with them, but left them to con-
tinue their voyage and give the sharks
| a taste of bear meat.
Judge Gilmore, of Columbus, Ohio,
has a very fine watch. 1t is known as
| the Eclectic and is the only watch of
| that name ever made. Everything about
the watch is hand made and full jew
eled. The timepiece was made in
| Switzerland by special order and cost
5000. The judge has carried it twenty
| five years and it never varies.
Among the recent inventions for
sanitary improvement in cities are
smol1eless furnaces, which save fuel as
well as avoiding the smoke nuisance.
Even stoves and ranges have been SINH
larly improved by the inventions of a
Russian civil engineer, NJ. de Clausen,
are now in use in England, and no doubt
they will soon be obtainable in this
country
The way people cross their feet is
often indicative of character. Neat peo-
pie usually put the right foot over the
left, while disorderly people generally
put the left over the right. Everybody
knows now much character is expressed
in the wearing of the hat and why
should it be thought surprising if a
man should tell what he is by the way
he places his feet?
There was dug up recently at Eliot,
Me-, gold ring, bright and shining,
bearing the inscriptions: 'Hon. John
Frost, Esq, OBJ. 25 Feb, 1929, E.
81" The Hon. John Frost was the son
of Capt. Charles Frost, who was killed
by the Indians near the Berwick line
of Kittery about 1852. Capt. Frost was
noted Indian fighter, and when he
was buried the Indians dug him up and
elevated the body in the air on poles.
The whites were obliged to bury his
body again at great depth, and cover
the grave with stones to prevent further
desecration.
From Sunday to Monday, when he
is in England, Labouchere usually re

of the Thames, at TwiclSenham. Every
summer he gives a lawn party to which
all fashionable London goes. 1t was a
one of these parties that Labby deliv

"A valuable contribution to the de
partment of historical relics at tn,

colored church of Haleyville, in Cumber
