WHITE hucKLEeERRIEs.

The Odd AIbino Fruit Found Here
and There in New England Nooks.
Farmer Williams, of Gardner's
Lake stepped into somers Brothers
market the other day bearing a
small wooden measure under his
arm that undeniably had something
very precious.
Just look a-here, Henry he said
to the elder Somers, did yeever
see any white huckleberries?"
whereupos he whisked white
cloth off the face OF his measure and
showed half pint of genuine Aibino
fruit. White huckleberries areyery
curious novelties and extremely
rare, rarer even than white black
berries or snowy red and gray SOUR
rels. The local papers published
few lines about Mr.. Somers' white
huckleberries, and then all day
bevies of citizens, most of whom had
never heard of such q thing before,
strolled into his market and squinted
at them wonderingly.
The berries Enthusiastically were
genuine Albinos. They were OF q
pale, transparent hue, and had the
same flavor, perhaps trific sweeter
than that of their Jet black kith and
kin. Neither are they altogether
new thing. There are, maybe, half
q dozen places in the Nutmeg state,
with a few in other New England
states, where they have thrived year
after year for century, but in ey-
cry instance in a contracted little
place that is barely more than rod
in diameter.
Sometimes they grow on a small,
rounded knoll top, and then again
on swampy land. There are, at
least, two spots in the old hill town.
of Salem, whence came Mr.. Williams
with his fruit, ten miles westof Nor
wich, one being near Williams home,
on the shore of Gardeners lake, and
the other at Dodge Hill, in the
woods.
Always they are found growing in
ordinary huckleberry pastures, also
In the midst of the black huckleber-
ry thickets, and yet a little apart
from them. They are simply
straight-out freaks OF the vegetable
Kingdom, q sample of what grand
dame nature can do in moment Of
ennui, perhaps.
They are no better to eat than the
plain black huckleberries, to be sure;
nevertheless, a man or boy who
knows Of q patch of them will travel
miles to gather them, and pick the
bushes clean, too, of the odd, pale
fruit. They fetch eighteen cents a
quart in the market any day on the
part of customers who are fond of
oddities. IN. Y. Sun.

Baby Stopped All Business.

On Ninth avenue, near Ninety
third street, the other afternoon
maid was slowly walking with lit
t4e tot of apparently two years of
age. Around the corner hand
organ was drumming away, and an
Italian cast wistful glances upward
toward the open windows. A big
butcher was unloading ice and see
ing that he got full measure. The
rival grocers near by were jealousy
regarding their respective sidewalk
displays. A policeman idly twirled
his billy in front of the opposite sa-
loon.
The baby stopped and looked up
and down and all around for the mu-
sic. Then it suddenly began to step
round and round to the merry waltz.
The chubby face took on that pecul-
iarly serious expression characters
tic of some dancers, and the infan-
tile mind was wholly absorbed In the
business OF the moment. The
butcher and his man paused, the
rival grocers looked at each other
and grinned, the policeman stopped
swinging his club and smiled, pass
ers fingered at a respectful distance
while the amused maid waited,
said nothing aud chewed gum. All
business was suspended for a min
ute. Then the music ceased and the
tots face broke into a seraphic smile
as 1t toddled down the street.-N.

Queer Way of Counting.

The Indians Of Guiana have a Gu.
rious system Of enumeration. They
count by the hand and its four
fingers. Thus, when they reach five,
instead Of saying SO, they call it a
hand" Six is, therefore, hand
and first finger" seven, ''hand and
second finger" Ten is "two hands, :"
but twenty, instead of being -four
hands, is a man" Forty is two
men, and thus they so on by TWEEN
ties. Forty-six is expressed as two
men, a baud and first finger"

Look Out for Your silk Handkerchief.

An ingenious st. Louis girl has
for some time been collecting silk

until she now has enough for a
couvre-pied, which is SO convenient
TO throw over the lounge. The
handkerchiefs are Of various colors,
ranging from black to white, and all
of them IRE marked with the initial
or monogram OF the River. Some of
them, of course, were embroidered
when she received them and others
she has decorated in any manner
that suggested itself to her fancy.
In some the initial has been deli
cately etched; several have been put
In with the artists brush, the letter
delicately entwined with forget-me-

squares are put together with fancy
stitches in gold-colored silk, form
ing most effective decoration.
When it is all finished it will be
lined with pale gold silk with an in
terIining of thin batting, delicately
perfumcd, and will be not only a
useful article, but a beautiful
souvenir of many happy hours and
pleasant friends. - Detroit Free

Interesting Ordnance Experiments.

The Armstrong Company, of Eng
land, has shown some very interest
ing experiments with the latest ord
nance. A six-inch gun was fired four
times in twenty seconds, an eight-inch
gun three times in thirty seconds. A
torpedo WAS driven satisfactorily with
cordite as powder. There was
search light which would keep its
beam upon an object no matter how
violently the vessel rolled. A ten
inch thirty-ton gun, when 1t was
fired, opened the breech screw by the
recoil and wound up spring, which
when released, would close the breech
again. A47-100 field howitzer anchored
itself after the first discharge by driv-
ing spade-shaped plate into the
ground, after which its recoil was met
by jacket which surrounds it. A
quick firing field gun, which anchors
itself in similar manner, fired five
rounds of scrapnel in fifty-three Sec
onds. A ffteen-pounder mountain
howitzer could be taken to pieces SO
that no part of it would weigh more
than 200 pounds. 1t was screwed to-
gether in five minutes. A six Inch
gun, with light portable disappearing
mountings for a siege train, could be
taken apart so that noportion weighed
more than three tons, ten hours being
required to mount it, A six-inch naval
gun fired five rounds in sixty-nine Sec
onds, each time at different range
and target. A plate of special steel
designed for a shield received rife and
Gatling gun fire at 100 yards range

plate hitherto used was penetrated at
every shot, the Gatling gun almost

Horace Greeley and His Bride.

"When Horace Greeley was first
married and brought his wife home on
visit sugar party was given in their
honor on q neighboring farm. All
the guests had arrived, and we were
looking out, watching for the belated
bride and groom. At last we saw
something appearing in the distance.
AS this same object came nearer, we
discovered it was the old white horse
of the Greeleys, slowly picking his
way through the mud. On his back
sat the bride in a brilliant yellow frock,
with green velvet belt, and behind
her, wrapped in his famous white over
coat, sat the already famous editor. Ii

Mr.. Greeley came home every year,
and after day or two on the farm,
would start to walk miles and call on
people. He was never known to knock
at a farmhouse door. No matter
whether he knew tho inmates or not
he would push open the door, walk
right in, sit down by the fireplace and
fall to discussing crops and Other
