AN HISTORIC LEMON.
u Was Expsnsive and m-Fatsd Anne
Boleyn Ate It.

u Was Expsnsive and Inflated Anne
Boleyn Ate II.
Who ever thinks of connecting such
. commonplace article of diet as the
lemon with the romantic history of
Inflated Anne Boleyn? Yet. indirectly,
she was the cause of its first introduce
ton into England and so into popular
notice. Henry VIII.-who, if he rid
himself of his wives like brute. GER
tainly won them like prince-gave
such splendid feasts and pageants in
honor of the coronation of Anne and
Of their previous nuptials as had sell
dom been accorded to queens of the
blood royal. These kingly entertain
ments were in turn followed by great
civic feasts in London, for which the
whole world was searched for deli-
cacies to add to the splendor.
At one such banquet, grsced by the
presence of the royal pair, lemon
was introduced as an elegant novelty.
To an epicure such as Henry the sc-
QUESTION of castle in France would
have proved less acceptable, and such
was the importance attached to the
discovery-so says an old biographer-
that a special record was made of the
fact that the cost of this precious
lemon was six silver pennies!

Every SWede Died.

"For every mile of railway track
built in Panama there have been a
hundred lives sacrificed" said Thomas
S. Mccarthy, of San Jose, Cal when
the road was being constructed 1 was
contractor in that country and did
work for the railway company. In
my camp there were about 300 Swedes
who had recently been sent direct to
the railroad works. A Swede is light
haired person, and blonde. you know,
is more liable to become poisoned with
malaria than brunette. Out of that
number of Swedes there was not a
single man who escaped. Six weeks
after they began to work every one of
them was dead and buried. There
were five Cinnamon employed on the
works, and strange to say net one of
them was attacked. They enjoyed ex-
cellent health, even more SO than the
native negroes How it was that they
escaped 1 never knew, but one of the
Mongolians told me that the reason
was because they smoked cigarettes"

been sued before trial justice and
the case came on that day and he
wanted it attended to.
The young disciple had q better &C.

COONS KILL A DOC.

stubborn Four-Handed Fight In . Penn
sylvania Forest.
A spot in the heart of the old Pigeon
swamp near Bristol, is strewn with the
blood-stained hair of raccoons and
hounds. John Reardon, James Cole
man and John Foster of Bristol, started
into the swamp one Saturday with
the season Whereabouts They soon
ran across two coons bigger than they
had ever seen before.
The coons were in a dense clump of
bushes Instantly the hounds bounced
upon them. but met almost their match.
Had there been only two hounds. the
story would have been different. Coons
and dogs whirled, bit. sauealed. re-
volved. yelped or went all in a rolling
mass, while the hair and fur flew. and
the huntsmen could not shoot without
imperiling the life of one or more of
the hounds.
Dogs and coons were soon covered
with blood. There was no surrender
on either side, and the desperate fight
went on until the coons fell in the mud
and were unable to bite or claw any
more. When the men were able to
drag away the dogs the coons were
dead or making their last gasps. Their
bodies were hauled into town in tri-
umph. One weighed thirty-one and
the other twenty-five pounds The
wounds of one of the hounds is said to
be mortal
