UNAPPREClATED BANANAS,
some SuIerstitions About Haddooks and
Fern Roots.

some superstitions About Haddocks and
Fern Roots.
The banana possesses wonderful sus-
tanning properties, and yet years ago,
in the warm countries where it flour
ishes, the banana was thought of so
lightly that it was allowed to waste If
not eaten by the cattle.
The plant itself was valued simply as
shade for coffee trees, between rows
of which it was planted.
Somebody once told me, says writer
in the Gentlewoman, that the Span
iards used to regard the banana as a
forbidden fruit, because they detected
in its heart the transverse section of
the cross.
remember, too, how one of my early
governesses used to delight me by
showing me the cross and the apostles
in the center of the passion flower; and
the other day friend told me of some
curious symbolical marks to be found
at the back of the neck of the haddock,
indentations similar to those that
might be caused by the finger and
thumb, the supposition being that the
haddock was one of the fishes picked
out of the net on the occasion of the
miraculous draft of fishes.

1t is truly characteristic of the warm

protest should have been raised any
where against the grant by the Suez
Canal company of an annual allowance

Escape.
Especial to the PRESS.)

West Baldwin, July 26.-As Mr. S. E. War
rem was returning Wednesday night from
East Sebago, person suddenly jumped out
from the bushes beside the road and at
tempted to stop the horse. Mr.. Warren
having just before met a man who used
some pretty harsh language to him happened
to be on the lookout for trouble, and as he
jumped for the horses head Mr.. Warren
used the whip and reined the horse in such
manners that the carriage knocked the
highwayman down. Mr.. Warren was some
what alarmed, but when the unknown per-
son discharged two chambers of a revolver
in his direction, and he heard the bullets
whistle past his carriage, it is needless to
say that he was in a great hurry to get
home. About mile further on Mr.. Warren
was again ordered to ''hold up'' by another
unknown, but he only piled the lash more
furiously than before and again escaped.
The highwaymen who attempted to hold up
Mr.. Warren are supposed to be tramps, as
many of that gentry have lately beer seen
in this neighborhood.

HORRIBLY MANGLED.
The Body of Geo. Chresley Found on
the Railroad.
He Fell From the Train Bringing the
Circus and Was Not Discovered
Till Morning-Four Freight Trains
Meanwhile Passed Over Him.
Especial to the PRESS J

y
Berlin Falls, July 26-"Can you tell me
when the circus train will pass through
hereT' was the question George Chrestley
put to more than one of his acquaintances
last evening, and when asked what he
wanted of the train he replied: want to
see it." He was missed after a while and
was supposed to have gone to bed. This
morning the Grand Trunk section men
made CHASTITY discovery. They found the
mangled body of a man on the track, and
notified the local authoritis. 1t was soon
identified as that of the man who was so
anxious to find out when the circus train
was to pass. 1t is supposed that the unfor
tunate man made an attempt to board the
circus train, with idea of making sure
OF being with it when it made its next stop.
1t is possible that he tried the old tramn
dodge of riding between the cars, and that
that he tried to get on later train, and
allowing that the circus train killed him,
then at least thrae other trains passed over
the body during the night. When found the
body was almost in the centre of the track.
There seems to be no doubt that death was
the result of an accident, for while
Chrestley was an erratic sort of a man he
never would have dreamed of committing
suicide. He lost his life simply because he
was determined to see the circus. He came
here last winter and was a yard workmean.
He is supposed to have formerly lived at
Rochester N. Y, where a brother is be-
ieved to be at the present time. He was
much liked and his death was shock to the
whole community.
