In one of the quiet. pleasant. pictur-

ncstles the pretty. old-fashioned village
of windham. A century ago this was
one of the most important towns in the
State east of the Connecticut River.
Here were located the county jail. the
county courthouse, and other public in
stitutions. which. with its prominent
public men. raised the town to a position
OF influence and wide reputation.
During the last half century. or little
over. these institutions one by one have
been removed to more thriving centres.
bright and ambitious young men have
sought other and more promising fields
OF activity. and the town. once 80 i'm

and power. until It has become simply a
relic Of the good old times'-a typical
New England village. the every day ex-

voices In unison, Col. Dyer and Squire
Elderkin had been particularly active
against the French. The whole village
jumped to the conclusion that the
French and Indians were anxious to
capture these two leaders As the
outlandish shrieks seemed to increase
in volume. and to grow nearer. the last
doubt that the savagcs were upon them
passed from every mind
Col Dyer hurried TO the village

the changing church bell soon called the
villagers together. Squire Elderkin. bad

The Spring and early Summer OF 1853
was a season of intense anxiety for the
settlers OF New England. The memora-
BILE French and Indian war. with it's I'M
paralleled atrocities, was at its height.
Massacres, in which whole villages
were destroyed. were OF frequent occur
renee.
Windham had been especially stirred
up by the bloodcurdling reports that
were frequently borne from the north.
Several times rumors OF threatened in
vasion by the warlike savages and their
more savage allies aroused the town TO
wild pitch IF excitement. on these
occasions the villagers put implicit faith
In the Colonel's military sagacity and
leadership. He was always placed in
command. and his word was lawn
short, he was the Miles Standish of this
interior Connecticut town.
In early Summer OF this year the Con-
necticut settlers were called upon TO rem

against the French. The French forts
OF the north were now the objective
point. and Col. Dyer Immediately began
raising a regiment to help in the reduc-

forward as fast as they enlisted, while
Col. Dyer remained TO continue raising

No waiting For a Bite There.

Mr.. W. X. Reynolds, Jr., in letter
to his father from British Columbia
dated Nov. 1S, tells the following re-
markable story:
WAS at Duncan's two nights; spent
an hour at the Cowichan river each
evening catching salmon by the tail and
throwing them up the bank or back in
the river. | suppose you will think
this overdrawn, but it is fact just the
same. The river is literally swarming
with them, and the water can hardly
be seen for fish. The banks are COW
cred with dead fish, and the stencil is
horrible. The people are complaining,
but apparently nothing can be done.
caught about 40, one after the other,
and got pretty wet over it. The sport
is more exciting than fishing with a
rod. Every little slough in the river is
filled with them, places where the wa
ter is only six inches deep, but they
force themselves along very fast and are
fearfully strong. The average weight
is about 10 pounds, but there are many
heavier and few lighter. Halifax

A Chinese Legend About Tea.

There is strange Chinese legend con-
corning the tea plant. According to the
story, there once lived a very pious
hermit who passed the greater part of
his time in prayer and vigils. He was,
however, unable to keep awake as long
as he wished, and often found his eyes
closing while he was in the very midst
of his devotions. This naturally an
noyed him, and one day in fit of wrath
against this weakness Of the flesh, which
he seemed unable to overcome, he cut
off the offending eyelids and cast them
upon the ground. But his action had
been observed by god, who immedi-
ately caused a tea shrub to spring up
from the spot where the eyelids had
fallen. 1t is in reference to this, ac-
cording to the legend, that the leaves of
the tea plant are shaped like eyelids,
fringed with lashes, and possess the
power of warding off sleep.

An Actress whose Proboscis Was Too
Large Had 1t Shaved Down.
Miss Crystal Thornton, an actress,
submitted to peculiar surgical opera
tion at Roosevelt hospital Nov. 90.
Miss Thornton, whose home is in Cali
fornia, is a handsome young woman,
but in her opinion her appearance suf-
fered through what she thought was q
deformed nose, but which others re-
garded as nothing more than a pro-
nounced Roman nose. She determined,
however, to have the nose reduced to a
normal size and consulted DIR. Charles
McBurney with the view Of having him
perform the operation.
The surgeon, it il said, advised her
that IL the operation was performed a
scar might remain, which would per-
haps be more Objectionable to her than
her prominent nose. Miss Thornton
declared that she preferred the scar to
having SO much nose and renewed her
request that the operation be perform
cd. The patient was placed under the
influence of ether, incisions were made,
the skin laid away on either side and
part of the bone removed.
The wound was treated with anti
septics, the skin replaced, and in due
time the patient went home. She Wis.,
tied the hospital again two days later,
when the wound was found to be heal
ing nicely. Miss Thornton has since
that time remained at home, and un-
less some unforeseen accident occurs
will in time make her appearance in
public with a symmetrical nose, in har-
mony with the rest of her features

Somebody Lost q Hand.

A false left hand which Roundsman
Charlie Wendell found at the exit of
Manhattan field after the football game
on Thanksgiving day awaits a claim
ant at the Washington Heights police
station.
1t is incased in dark tan kid glove
and looks at first glance like keenly
severed real hand.
The theory is advanced by several
members of the police force that the
dummy was the property of some in
genious member of the light fingered
gentry, whose perfect hand was under
his clothing during the football gam
bols, but plying its chosen calling all
the more effectively. 1t is the general
impression that the hand was wrenched
from it's fastenings on the wrist of the
owner in the crowd as he passed out Of

ANTARCTIC EXPLORATION.
what DIR. Jehn Murray of the Challenger
Expedition Thinks About 1t.

what DR.. Jehn Murray Of the Challenger
Expedition Thinks About 1t.
An attempt Is being made under the
auspices Of the Royal Geographical So
ciety to renew interest in antarctic ex-
ploration. An important paper on the
subject was presented to the society
this week by DR.. John Murray Of the
Challenger expedition. He argued that
the continent at the south pole COM
prised 4, 900, 900 square miles and that
great practical benefits in the depart
ments of biology geology and physics
would be gained by its exploration. He
did not advocate a dash for the pole,
but demanded rather steady, syste-
matte exploration Of the whole southern
region with all the appliances of mod
ern investigators. The exploration
should be undertaken by the royal navy.
Two ships, not exceeding 1000 tons
burden each, should be fitted out for
three summers and two winters.
Early in the first season wintering
party Of 10 men should be landed some
where south of Cape Horn, probably
about Bismarck strait, at Graham
Land. The expedition should proceed
to Victoria Land, where second party
should winter, probably at Mac Murdo
bay, near Mount Erebus. The ships
should not be frozen in, but should re-
turn north. conducting observations of
various kinds toward the outer margins
of the ice. The position of the ice and
the temperature of the ocean should be
observed.
Early in the spring the wintering
parties should be communicated with
and re-enforced for another winter.
During the second winter deep sea OBJ
servations should be continued to the
north. In the third season the winter
ing parties should be picked up and the
expedition return to England. London

nrosrshen and Grevy.

In Paris, in the revolution Of 1880, q
law student was soundly kicked by one
of the kings officers for tearing down a
copy Of the ordinances placarded on the
wall. The officer was armed, the student
was not; SO the latter ran away. Nearly
, half century later--in 1879--the officer
called upon the student to bid him good
by, having just resigned the presidency
sf the French republic on account Of q
radical difference with the majority of
the national assembly on questions of
state policy. He combined with his
adieux, also, a graceful word of con-
gratulations on the students election to
succeed him in the presidential chair.
The student was Jules Grevy; the officer
was Patrice de MacMahon, who died
ripe in years and honors. Kate Field
