He ate his supper and to all appearances was as well as usual, conversing but few moments before with his family. A few moments after some one of the family had occasion to go in the sitting room and he was found in his accustomed chair with head bent forward gasping for breath. He was immediately laid on the lounge, but he was gone in moment. His funeral was held at his home on
 Thursday at 12.3O o'clock. His remains were inferred in the family plot in Mountain Grove cemetery, Bridgeport.

ROOM FOR THE TURKEYS AT HOME.

Occasionally one meets a man who takes certain pride, seemingly, in dis playing an immense amount of "nerve." It is demonstrated in different ways, but when man raises turkeys and allows those turkeys, week in and week out, to feed at his neighbours and eat his neigh bor's corn, when he, in fact, allows them to practically live away from home, then, 1 say, that man displays an immense, chronic, unadulterated and monumental ''nerve." No remonstrance would be made if the owner would offer to allow the thing to go on on a cooperative ba- sis, but when 100 per cent profit goes to the owner it is time someone institut- ed vigorous kick.-[*

A Fish with a Rubber Corset.

Forest and Stream speaks of curious
find in the Cape Ann fish market at
Gloucester, Mass. 1t was nothing less
than a mackerel with rubber band
around the body. The band had been
put on the fish when quite small and
staid there in spite of the rapid growth
Of the wearer. The fish s body under the
band did not grow, which caused de-
preston in the full grown body of about
B inches in depth. The depression was
covered with healthy skin in no way
unlike that on the rest of the body. The
fish measured in length ID inches, di-
ameter Of body each side of the depres-
sion, ~ inches; diameter of depres-
sion, inches. The fish was undoubted-
ly in healthy condition, and the band
was sound and could be stretched like
any other band.

We sometimes hear odd stories of
funny verdicts by country iuries, but it
is not often we really come across one
in the realms of fact. A Hawkhurst
jury which sat on poor old Iaborer pro-
vides us with Kentish sample of sharp
wit. The surgeon who made the post
mortem gave it as his opinion that death
arose from powerful irritant poison.
The jury had their own ideas and gave
a verdict that death was due to the in
clement weather! We have not heard
whether the case has been placed in the
hands of the county analyst, but it is
certainly new that cold weather and ir-
ritant poison are synonymous. -Roches-
