Ancient Eggs PRICED.

They do not think anything of an
egg in China, itseems, until it is about
100 years of age, old eggs being worth
as much in that country as old wine is
elsewhere. They have a way OF bury
ing the eggs, and it takes about thirty
days to render picked egg fit to eat
Some of the old eggs have become as
black as ink, and one of the favorite
Chinese dishes for iuvalids is made up
of eggs, which are preserved in jars OF
red clay and salt water.

A Question Of Pronunciation.

Americans who affect the so-called
English pronunciation of the letter "a"
in words like ASK" pass" and last"
are so much inclined, especially in Bos-
ton, to overdo the matter that 1t is well
to reprint the testimony of Baltimore
traveller who took pains while in Eng
land this summer to observe critically
the usage of cultivated speakers there
on this point. He found In effect that
their "a" was cross between the "a"
Of "ah" and the "a" of Eat" He list
ened carefully to the orthoepy Of Lord
Chief Justice Russell, Lord Rosebery,
and Lord Salisbury and to that Of the
eminent churchmen, and found that no.
where twas there any such broad and
deep pronunciation of words, and espe-
cially the letter "a as we generally con-
slider to be the English method" Their
pronunciation was almost Identical
with that Of good speakers in Baltimore
and New York.

A RIVERS BURDEN.

Areas of Land Transported from Place
to Place by the Mississippi.
The Mississippi has in the course of
ages transported from the mountains
and high land within its drainage area
sufficient material to make 100000
square miles of new land by filling up
an estuary which extended from its
original outfall to the Gulf of Mexico
for a length Of 500 miles. This river
Is still pouring solid matter into the
gulf, where it Is spread out in a fan
like shape over coast line of $50 miles,
and Is filling up at the rate Of &c., 000,-
600 tons a year, or six tons as much as
Manchester ship canal, and sufficient to
make a square mile of new land, al
lowing for its having to fill up the gulf
to a depth Of eighty yards.
Some idea of the vastness Of this OPP
Grafton may be conceived when the
fact is considered that some Of this soil
has to be transported more than 5000
miles, and that If the whole of 1t had
to be carried in boats at the lowest
rate at which heavy material is carried
on the inland waters of America, or,
say, for one-tenth of penny per ton
per mile over an average of half the
total distance, the cost would be no less
a sum than f23S,OO0,O0O year.
Through the vast delta thus formed
the river winds it's way, twisting and
turning by innumerable bends until it
extends its length to nearly 1000 miles,
or more than double the point to point
length Of the delta, continually eroding
the banks in one place and building up
land in another, occasionally breaking
its way across narrow neck which lies
between the two extremities, and filling
up the old hannel.-Longman's Maya

An Immense Shark.

Antoine Joseph, an old whaling mate
now stationed as cook Of the Cornfield
lightship, Essex, Conn, hooked the boss
shark of the season on Wednesday Of
last week. The monster measured from
nose to tip of tail IA feet Z inches, and
weighed about 500 pounds. When Mr..
Joseph noticed the shark under the
lightship quarter, he Immediately got
out the share fishing tackle and baited
the hook with round of Uncle Sans
mess pork, which Mr.. Shark very quick
ly made meal of and was lowed along
side of the ship. The gaffs were hooked
on to him and he was hoisted on board.
The sirloin steaks being removed, he
was cast back into the sea for the Man
tic parties to take pictures of or some
imaginative reporter to write up as
sea serpent.

Gables-a lovely, many-windowed
home far out on a point that juts into
the pulsing, shifting, mysterious wa
tiers of Buzzard's Bay-he evidently
had in view the desire to thoroughly
isolate himself when the opportunities
came to temporarily drop the stately
garb of his great office. 1t is as hard
a spot to reach, in a measure, as If ii
were situated in the heart Of darkest
Africa, for 1t requires the patience of
Job and the philosophy of Carlyle to
get to 1t by rail- Every twenty miles
on the way to Buzzard's Bay you have
to change trains, and BuZZard's Bay Is
but the threshold to Gray Gables. If
you go by an ocean route, there is still
an eight miles drive to Monument
Beach, unless you take semi-occasion-
al train. The railroad company has
built tiny pagoda-like station at the
entrance to the land that surrounds the
Presidents summer home, and has
placed upon a sign the words, "Gray
Cables" painted in strong white.
Around the station there Is almost
complete solitude, the spot being COW
cred with dense trees, and tangle or
heavy underbrush. A roadof ocean shells
and sand winds like a big snake up to
the 260 acres which surround Gray Ga
bles. This land runs out into little
cape, which is bluff-like in its forma-
tion, and at its summit are two six
foot towers, on top Of which are mas
sive powders, marking the entrance to
fifteen cleared acres. For hundred
feet beyond these, the underbrush has
been cleared. The Cleveland family
call this spot "The Grove" and it is
provided with board seats, and has
many quiet little hooks. where Mrs.
Cleveland and her three children, Ruth,
Esther and Marion, spend their leisure
in close proximity to small park sup
piled with deer. Beyond Is pretty

strike when provoked; the tic polonga,
on the other hand, is most frequently
the aggressor. The snake charmer, as
a traveller says, generally goes about
in company with juggler. They ap-
pear before the house, and after receiv-
ing permission to give performance,
bring forth their snakes usually three,
which they carry in baskets. The
charmer assumes Il peculiar posture,
squatting upon the heel Of one foot,
the other knee doubled up and pro-
jecting in front. He sways from side
to side keeping time with the monoto-
nous music made by his companion
with pipes.
After the playing has lasted few
moments the charmer unc0vers his
baskets and takes out the cobras. At
first they seem scarcely to notice the
sound Of the pipe, but presently they
raise themselves couple of feet from
the ground, the rest of the body form
ing kind of pedestal, and>sway to and
fro with the music. This they keep up

In the morning, shaves himself, gets q

his cat-boat. The President loses much
of that gravity that marks his public
life, once aioat. and Is bright COM
panIon In jolly good fellowship. The
Ruth has half-deck and tiny little
cabin. and while Cleveland steers, his
constant companion, Wright. manages
the sail. Mr.. Cleveland Is looking thin

UP behind, crushed up before, and thor
oughly disreputable-such hat as q
bank robber might adopt He has a
fine collection Of rods, and dotes on
bluefish, always taking lunch aboard
Of sandwiches, pickles, cake and water.
He is an angler Of the most persistent
class, remaining out way into the after
noon at times, flag hoisted on high
staff at the house telling when he is
afloat. The cat-boat goes eight miles
to find the Presidents favorite fishing
spot. Broiled fish Is a popular dish at
Gray Gables.
When he is not fishing, the President
enjoys drive to trout stream seven
miles distant, or one to the postoffice,
behind his team Of three-year-old beau
ties. Mrs. Cleveland accompanies him
In his trip after the voluminous mall
bag, always ready for him, as does she
and the children meet him at the dock
on his return from a fishing excursion.
On such occasions she wears a plain,
neat skirt Of covert cloth, and silk
waist. When they return the children
are taken to feed the buck and roe, or
allowed to hunt for blackberries, or
showing off their knowledge Of German,
in which Ruth is quite an expert. They
look over the cows and the vegetable
garden, or hail the only arrival that
breaks the monotony-the advent Of
the meat wagon from neighboring
town.
The President likes to be treated as
private citizen, and used to make oc-
casional calls in the vicinity with Mrs.
Cleveland, who followed up golf as an
amusement last year. This vacation,
however, they are more retired. Mr..
Cleveland does his own writing nights,
although Secretary Thurber is within
an hours call. Secret service guards
see that no one enters the grounds, I'M
less through an appointment by tele-
phone. 1t is said that prominent Min
lister Plenipotentiary and a Georgia
Senator of large repute were both turnr
ed down for venturing to intrude at
Gray Gables unannounced. They did
not even get ride on the handsome
$500 steam launch in which Mrs
Cleveland and the children take occa-
sional trips around the bay.

After the performance the charmer
will show that the snake has fangs
and can kill if a chicken or rabbit be
provided. When first captured the
fangs are generally removed, but rs
they grow out in very short time, the
charmers do not often trouble to re-
move them again. The men are not
at all afraid of them as they rely on
their music with great confidence to
gain control over the reptiles.
Every charmer carries with him a
snake stone which he believes is SOW
