IconOclastic.

One by one our fondest memories are
shattered. 1t has always been thought
that the Hudson river was discovered by
the old Dutch navigator whose name it
bears, but at q recent meeting of the New
York Historical society Rev. B. f. De Costa,
d. D., read a paper in which be presented
evidence hat what was known as New
Amsterdam and is now New York was set
tied before Hudson sailed up the river. He
also said that the voyages of Verrazano in
1926 and Gomez in 1926 reached the Hud-
Boil, and that a recently discovered Saman-
cas- map proved that the harbor of New
York was mapped out by the English be-
fore Hudson started on his voyage, and that
the claim Of the Dutch that they made the
first settlement on Manhattan Island in
1923 was unfounded, for a Frenchman, Gu
liam Vigne, by name, had already settled
there with his wife and three daughters
Newport News.

about the only things that man Is able to

"You don't understand me. l mean that

"Oh, moi The only rule you must follow
is not to open the box except between the
going down and the coming upof the sum-"
was the way the gardener answered.

"No. You must keep the box dry" re-

She Got the Half Cent,

A Portland woman sold a pig to a butch
er the other day, and he killed it on the
premises. Now it is a superstition with
some butchers that to cut off a pigs tail
insures the preservation of the meat. The
pigs little tail was cut off. But the WON
an was on the watch. She picked up the
tail and gave it to the butcher TO be
weighed, saying, Il van pay for the whole
OF him." But the butcher got even with
her. The reckoning came to half IL cent,
probably because of the addition Of the
tail. She wanted the half cent, of course;
she always does. So the butcher placed a
cent on the block, cut it i'll two with his
~cleayer, and gave her the half cent.

In some Of the English chalk hills
where shepherds feed their focks,
wells are few and far between. Now,
as water is as necessary for sheep as
for human beings. how is it got?
Hundreds Of years ago very simple
plan was employed for the purpose
Of collecting water; and this plan is
in use to-day in certain parts OF
England A pond is formed and
made water-tight by filling in its
sides with clay. II proper care has
been shown in choosing a situation
for the pond. it will be found that
enough water gathers in It from the
rain, dew and evening mists that
hang about the hill to satisfy the
wants OF the sheep. In fact 20 ex-
cellent do these ponds answer their
purpose that many of them on the
Hampshire hills are never dry.
