AN INTERESTING RELIC.

One of the most interesting relics here abouts is an old sleigh owned by Jerome Grannis and Dr Marcy of New Preston It is the oldest pattern known of and is doubtless one of the ''old settlers" among sleighs. MT Grannis bought it at the Mannering auction, paying good price for it. He has had it repainted in the original three colors, decorated with the American eagle, stars and stripes and with the date "1776'' on the back, which is probably nearly correct. He has put in it new pole and he and the doctor drive gaily about in it behind spanking span of bays, greatly to the envy of the villagers. A string of old-fashioned bells accompany the sleigh. MT Grannis has priced this ancient vehicle at $50, and 1t is worth it to the right man.

Wanted Something Frisky.

SCOT something frisky?" he asked as he
walked into livery stable and called TO,
a saddle horse Something that will
prance about lively and wake fellow out
Of his lethargy, can ride the trick mule
in circus and can back anything that
wears hair They brought him out a
calico colored beast with vicious eye,
and he mounted it and dashed off. Before
he had gone two blocks the animal bucked,
crashed through high board fence and
plunged into a cellar, tossing his rider
over the top of an adjacent woodshed and
landing him on the ragged edge of lawn
mower They bore him home, straight
ened him out, and three surgeons came in
and reduced his dislocations and plastered
him up with raw beef.
A few weeks later he called at the stable
and said if they had a gentle sawhorse
with an affectionate disposition, bride
with curb bit and martingales and sad
die with two horns and crupper to it, he
believed he would go up in the haymow
and gallop around little where it was
soft, and it wouldn't hurt him if he went
to sleep and fell off, as he did the Other
day.-Washington Post.

A Close Call.


One afternoon, whils hunting, l was
caught by a passing shower. 1t came with
a gust and took me quite unaware. See
ing a thicket short distance from me,
I made my way to it to seek protection
from the pouring rain. The ground was
hard and dusty, and the rain had rendered
it in places very slippery. Reaching the
thicket, rested my gun upon the ground,
and bracing my back against large wal
nut tree gave myself up to meditations on
the ruined sport while waiting for the
shower to pass.
Standing thus, felt a strange spell pass
over me-a feeling such as 1 had never
known before, and which I cannot de-
scribe. 1 felt as though some dreaded
thing was about to happen, knew not
what.
Involuntarily raising my gaze, my eyes
became riveted upon a monster rattlesnake.
He was the largest snake had ever seen.
Somehow my hat came off, and / didn't
take it off either realized the danger
was in, but try as / would I could not
change my gaze tried to raise my gun,
but could not Then tried to move my
hand. NV foot, but each refused the brains
command. I was powerless to move and
completely scharmed'' by the snake.
Then slowly it came toward me with
its demon eyes still full upon me. When
within about four feet from me, it stopped
and gracefully coiled, and rising upon its
tail prepared for the final spring. Again
tried to free myself from the horrid spell,
but could not. With it's forked tongue ex-
tended it reared to strike, when it slipped
and fell and broke its neck. The damp
earth had saved me.-Kansas City Times.

Now It's AN Aluminium wedding.

The already long list of jubilees and
family celebrations has been enriched
by novelty in the line of wedding fes
Invites. The family and friends of a
rich manufacturer living i'll the neigh
borhood of Berlin deemed the interval
between the silver and golden wedding
to be altogether too long, and halvtng
it introduced last week an aluminium
wedding by offering the happy couple
on the occasion of the completion of
37% years of welded life choice va
riety of presents made of aluminium. If
this novel idea should take, the Alumni
um industry has great future before it.
The Prussian capital, of all German
cities the one most given to societies and
fetes of every posi- BILE name and descrip-
ton, has since gone even one better by
celebrating a seven year wedding, which
the friends of the parties, with true Ber-
lin humor, christened the jubilee OF tine
seven years war.-Paris American

Sympathetic Vaccination.

The Listener has heard of something
very queer and quite new to him. 1t
is sympathetic vaccination, which sew
eral people are said to have suffered
from. Without having been vaccinated
at all, but with vaccinated people all
about, you presently feel at times
singing or itching sensation in spot
on your arm where the doctor would
have vaccinated you if you had been
vaccinated. In some cases this sympa-
thetic vaccination affiicts only the left
arm, but occasionally it shifts from one
arm to the other, appearing first on the
left and then for time on the right.
1t is believed to be a nervous outgrowth
Of the continual complaints of vaccinat-
ed people and their everlasting descrip-
tion of their sensations. Boston Tran

WEARY.

I'm old, and the heat of lifes battles
Has bleached my brown hair till it's white,
And teardrops that sparkle light diamonds
Have stole from my eyes their old light
And low, where cold marbles are cleaning,
laid what the world gave to me;
But high, where the pure ones are waiting,
NV treasures again will sec.
Tonight have heard strains of music
that floated away long ago,
But some mystic spirit has caught them
To chant to me now, soft and low.
heard an old story tonight, too,
That memory fingered 10 tell,
OF youth that built castles in midair
That crushed hopes and dreams as they fell
I've seen an old picture of sorrow
A vessel that sank in the sea
But safe in the harhor of heaven
A fair sailor boy waits for me-
listen in dreams for his footsteps,
I almost can see his white land
AS it lifts from my heart LIES dark shadows
And points me to his spirit land.
o Time, am weary of travel!
Life's pathway is lonely for me,
And breezes that whisper about me
Seem filed with q voice from the sea.
And now l am tired-so tired
And some night I'll lie down to rest
And dream till l wake in the morning
In peace in the home of the blest.

A Murderer Sues For Libel.

A curious action is being brought by a
convict named Maradan, who was found
guilty a couple of years ago at Freiburg OF
attempting to murder his wife and SEN
fenced to eight years imprisonment, which
he is now undergoing. Some time after the
trial M. Edouard Rod, the well known
French novelist, made it the subject of a
story, reproducing all the incidents and
preserving the locality of the crime but at
the same time altering the names. This
story has been published recently in serial
form by Freiburg paper called L'Anni du
Peuple, and somehow this fact has come to
Maradan's knowledge in prison. The result
is that he is bringing an action for libel
against the paper, claiming 5000 francs for
damages to his good reputation"

as my servants, alarmed by the firing,
came rushing in.
On lifting the miscreant first killed from
the body of poor Charles, started back
as the light was reflected in something on
the face of my friend. A second glance
