The province held by Gorges after
the division of the New England terri
tory he named New Somerset. He
sent out his nephew, William Gorgess
as deputy governor of the domain,
which extended from the Piscataqua
to the Kennebec. He assumed rule
over the fishing hamlets there, and
held a general court at Saco
The citizens of Sandoval, ILL.,, will
not allow any negro to live in their
town. Several weeks ago two strange
negroes were employed by new car
penter who was not acquainted with
the color-line law of the place, but it
did not take him long to learn it when
seventy-five of the ''best people, OF
the town waited upon him and threat
ened to lynch the negroes if they did
not leave at once.
OF most stones rigidity is one of the
marked characteristics and it is hard
for uniformed people to believe that
there are any stones that can be bent.
There are some, however, that are
more flexible than wood and bend
readily under slight pressure without
breaking. The most abundanto of these
is itacolumite, or flexible sandstone,
which is found in large deposits in
Brazil
The mosquitoes have made a raid
on Maryland this summer in unusually
large swarms, especially in the vicinity
of Drums Point. F. w. Dixon, who was
bothered by them, was told that if he
would burn tobacco stems in the house
they would leave, and he tried it. The
remedy was effectual in that it not
only drove the mosquitoes out, but the
entire family, for he burned down the
house.
The members of the Alliance of La
fayette county, Miss, several days age
passed this resolutions: I'VE will make
our sub-treasury at home, store it with
corn, hay, oats, fodder, pork. potatoes
peas, cabbage, turnips, onions, beets
rice, parsnips, molasses, pinders, and
then, if we have any time left, we will
put in one or two bales of cotton. Their
we will have a sub-treasury that will
be of some benefit to u.s.
"A farmer away down in Somerset
county, Md, finds that his straw i.
worth more than his wheat. He pro
duced $50 bushels of wheat on SO acres
or about 10 bushels to the acre. which
at the price ruling when the calcula
ton was made indicated for the crop 6
value of s12 per acre. His straw
weighed two tons per acre and was
worth So per ton, or SIG per acre. The
aggregate value of the grain was s403
of the straw, 1923.
-Thirty-two schemes for site fo1
the proposed international exhibition
in Paris in 1900 have been considered
by the commission having the matter
in hand. 1t is considered most likel,
that the site of the exhibition of 1SS!
will again be selected, although the
available space will be greatly en-
larged. 1t is proposed in one scheme
to include the Tuileries gardens, which
would give space for an exhibition
twice as large as the last. The Fife
tower would be an attraction.
-Genea]ogy is still favorite topic
of conversation south of Mason anG
Dixon's line, and many an old lady car
trace her own and her neighbors' de
scent for many generations back. The
southerner's family pride has, however
this mitigation, that with fine courtesy
he takes it for granted that his guest
or the friend Of his guest has the same
genealogical claim to respect and con
sideration as himself. To be sure
everybody cannot be a Breckenridge O,
a Mason, but doubtless every mar
whom a Breckenridge or Mason meets
in the company of his friend has g
family tree concealed somewhere about
him.
