The Sea Ruins the Kentish Coast

Great alarm is felt at New Romney
on account of the encroachment of the
sea, which has flooded the land for a
distance of two miles st. Mary's coast
guard station is in great danger, and the
building is surrounded by water the
wall having been washed away. Dym-
church wall is also greatly damaged,
and it is estimated that it will cost
e14,OO0 to repair the breaches. The
lords of the manor have been viewing
the damage and the outlook is very
gloomy.
AS regards New Romney, until the ap-
peal is settled between the New Romney
commissioners and the corporation re-
specting the "scotting" question, moth
ing whatever can be done. 1t is thought
that the damage cannot possibly be put
right during the next twelve months.
There is up to the present one mile of
the wall almost clean gone, and each
tide is washing more away.-Galig-
nani's Messenger.

Poisoned hv Kissinr-

Apeculiar case of poisoning is reported
from the Bristle Ridge neighborhood,
north of Charlottesville, Ind. At large
party a new tangled kissing game was
introduced, which proved very popular.
The young men on arriving drew strings
of variegated colors from IL box and then
selected girls whose dresses matched
this string. The young granger then
took one end of the string in his mouth
and the girl attached her face in sim
liar way to the other. Both then chewed
up the string until they were mouth to
mouth, when several kisses were ex-
changed. AT the party in question the
person coloring the strings had used
dyes which were not fast and the colors
ran Several were poisoned very se1i-
ously. and it is feared that one or two
cases may result fatally Chicago News.

A Station Agent in Pettiooats.


A station master in petticoats! Such
was the specticle which, according to an
amusing story which reaches us from
provincial quarter, presented itself to
the gaze of the bewildered passen-
gers as the train in which they were
travelling steamed into small south
ern town yesterday morning. The sta
ton master, with his silver braided cap
and uniform coat, but encircled as to
his waist with voluminous jupe which
descended to his heels, had bounded on
the platform, apparently unconscious of
the odd figure which he was cutting,
and it was only when roars of laughter
greeted his appearance that he became
aware of the very unofficial and un.
masculine character of his neither habili-
ments.
1t was all the fault of refractory
goat. His wife had been in the habit of
going out early to milk this animal in
provision of the children's breakfast
She had gone away on visit and her
household duties had devolved on her
husband; but there was the rub. The
goat, accustomed to the woman, would
not let the man approach her. The
station master, however, was not to be
bafied. Donning petticoat left by his
wife, he returned to the charge, this
time with success; but just as the milk
can was full he heard a whistle, and
remembering his professional avocation.
hurried back to the station, oblivious of
the queer costume in which he had dis
guised himself for the purpose of enter
ing into the goats good graces.-Paris

| 1t is as good as settled that the collec-
tion OK butterflies, moths and other ell
tomologioal specimens which belonged
TO the late Harry Edwards, the actor.
will soon be exhibited as the property Of
the America Museum Of Natural His
tory, New ork. The required $4,000
has been pledged, and as soon as it is all
paid in the valuable collection will be
transferred by Mrs. Edwards TO the
museum. No one knows precisely how
many specimens are in the collection.
for there is no record of hundreds and
thousands of minute specimens. Tie
collection has been given in round num-
bers at 250,0O0 specimens. A count of
each case is to be made before being
placed on exhibition, and those who have
examined the collection believe that
there are nearer 800, 900 than 250, 900. The
collection is one of the most complete in
the world, and there are no private col
lections which approach it in number
and variety. Three times Mr.. Edwards,
accompanied by Mrs. Edwards, travelled
around the world in his professional en-
gagements, and each time he made an
especial effort to add to his collection.
He secured specimens from every por-
ton of the globe. In all lands he visited
Mrs. Edwards went with him, and,
with him, was interested in the work.
Often they made long expeditions into
the jungles and forests, they visited mu-
seums, they studied books. Many ex-
changes were made by Mr.. Edwards
with other collectors, and in his collec- !
ton are many gifts from museums in
this and other countries. New York |

A Gun That rells of Poison.

The rhinoceros horn cup was once
supposed to indicate the presence of any

pose that the use of such an article was

dation, however, in a scientific fact
Most poisons are acid, and acid of any
kind poured into rhinooeros horn cup
will at once bubble and effervesce. II

parent superstition had its foundation in
such fact, but perhaps the ancients
knew more about such things than we
