it cleanses, builds up, and invigorates the

Outdoor Figs in Maine.

For about four years Mr.. E. K. Whit
ney, whose place is about mile from
Harrison village, has successfully raised
crop of figs. The figs are when fully
ripe as large as medium sized pears,
and mellow and delicious, not to be told
IN appearance and flavor from the
southern grown, and the trees bear
abundantly-from six to eight on a
branch. When Mr.. Whitney first began
their culture he would ~ the fall, by
advice of southern growers, bury the
tree in position by cutting the roots each
side and bending the tree into trench
prepared for it, BY experiment later he
learned that the better method was to
dig up the tree and transplant it to the
cellar 1t is quite hardy and will en-
dure considerable cold, and is little af-
fected by transplanting. In the spring
it is easily set out again. The fruit
ripens quite early in the fall. A cutting
from the tree takes root readily, and
this offshoot comes in bearing during
the second year.-Lewiston Journal.

Could He Use a Ticket for Els Own Corpse?
Can live man travel on ticket call
ing for first class passage for corpse?
This novel question confronts the Santa
Re road, and the decision will be watched
with interest by other lines. Some weeks
ago Harry Knight, of Denver, was taken
to st. Lukes hospital in this city. His
case seemed hopeless, and his sister in
Denver was so informed. She thereupon
bought round trip ticket-Denver to
Chicago-for herself, and return"
ticket for body in a casket. She came
here, and an operation was performed
on her brother which proved successful.
He rallied, and so far recovered that he
was able to go home. AS ticket had
been bought and paid for he proposed to
use it, although not, as had been ex-
pected, as the occupant of a coffin. He
tried to obtain passage upon the ticket,
but difficulties met him at every point.
The ticket read. Good for the passage
of one human body contained in casket
from Chicago to Denver" The human
BODY referred to rendered the ticket,
and the conductor did not know what to
do about it. He finally decided to take
the ticket and to leave the matter for
settlement with the company afterward.
Meantime Mr.. and Miss Knight are safe
at home in Denver.-Chicago Letter.

A Royal Haircut.

The Bangkok Times, of December
80, says: The actual tonsure in con-
nection with the Sakan, or hair cut
ting ceremony, now in course within
the Royal Palace, was performed on
Wednesday at GIG A. NJ, the pro-
pitious moment selected for the rite.
As on the preceding days, the prince,
II. r. III. Chow Fa Maha Vajiravudh,
was escorted in procession to the Du-
sit Maha Prasath, where he was
assisted from the litter by His Ma
iesty and led to the interior of the
Hall. Here, after listening to the
Rotations of the Buddhist priests,
the locks forming the top-knot were
served with consecrated scissors, and
the remnant of them shaved off with
the usual ceremonies. After further
formalities he was escorted by the
same procession to the foot of the
Krailat Mountain. and there bathed
by His Majesty, the members Of the
royal family, and the Brahmins, in
lustral water consecrated according
to the Buddhist and Brahminical
rites. He next retired into the pavil-
lion close by to change his wet gar
ments for the gorgeous attire of roy
atty, and then assembled to the top
most pagoda of the symbolical mount
to receive the insignia of rank from
the hands of the king and other rela-
tlves. The descent from the noun
tain was made on the southern side,
and the members Of the procession,
clothed now in pink colored attire,
conducted the prince three times
round the base from right to left.
The procession marches for three
days, that of to day terminating the
ceremony.

Tenuvson.s Dislike of Anecdotes.

It is curious bit of the irony Of fate
that there should now be rife so many
tales and anecdotes Of Tennyson. No
man ever disliked such things more
than he. Seldom could he be induced
to read or to listen to personal incidents
of other great men. 1t was not that he
felt no interest in them. But the deli
cacy of his nature was supersensitive,
and he shrank from looking into the
private lives of others, just as he had a
horror of others looking into his own
life. Yet half Of the literature about
the laureate consists Of anecdotes, and
of these a large proportion relates to
that very dislike Of publicity.-New
York Tribune.

a Cold Treatment,

The second son of the car, the Grand
Duke George, continues his peculiar
course of treatment for pulmonary dis
ease. In accordance with his physicians
theory that a low temperature tends to
destroy the consumption bacillus and to
prevent the growth of tubercles, the
room of the royal patient is unpapered
and bare, the mattress On his bed thin,
and the fires moderate in the coolest
weather. The progress Of the disease ia
said to have been checked, but his at
tendants suffer extremely from the cold.

Cross,os broadway During a Parade.

Crossing Broadway During Parade.
An amusing echo of the night pageant,
which is probably only one Of thousands
that happened, is that told by young
business man who resides in the neigh
borhood of Washington square, west of
Fifth avenue, New York. He occupied
a window in building on the east side
of Broadway, below Canal street, waited
until nearly II o'clock before the head
of the procession reached him, and soon
after gave up his place of observation in
disgust and undertook to reach his resi-
dence, as he was thoroughly tired out
with the days excitement. He saw it
was impossible TO cross Broadway at the
point where he had been watching the
parade, so he made a detour and at
tempted to cross over at Canal street,
but did not succeed in breaking through
the police lines there.
Then he went back again to one of the
streets running parallel with Broadway,
walked up and tried without success to
force passage at Washington square.
Failing again he successfully made eff
forts at Union square, Madison square
and at Fifty-ninth street, but to no pur-
pose, and finally he walked into Central
park, where he succeeded in so thor
oughly losing himself that it was fully
an hour before he found his way out in
the neighborhood of West Seventy-sec-
ond street. He reached home at about
8 o'clock in the morning, but he didn't
go down to the Office that morning, for
good and sufficient reasons.
All of this journeying might have
been avoided if he had adopted the
method employed by SO many other peo-
pie who found it impossible to cross the
line of parade, and took the nearest ele-
waited station to South ferry, where they
changed to an up town train on the OPP
posite side of the city. New York from
the Battery to Central park was as effec-
lively divided into two communities as
if separated by an ocean, and if a per-
son desired to cross Fifth avenue at
Madison square he was obliged to travel
at least six miles around the lower end
of the city and up the other side Of
town to get there. Brooklyn Eagle.

A New African sugarcane.

The new variety of sugarcane reported
from the upper Niger is Of gigantic size
and very rich in sugar. Moreover, it
differs from the ordinary sugarcane in
possessing seeds, from which the plant
can be raised. The discovery confirms
the supposition of botanists that the
common seedless sugarcane, now cult
waited from slips, is descended from a
wild Towering and seed bearing cane
