NATURAL HISTORY.

SOME naturalists say the whale was once land animal and took to the wa ter for safety.
 SNAKES have the singular property of being able to elevate the head and remain without the'slightest movement for many minutes at time.
 IN building nests birds invariably avoid the use of bright-colored mate rials, which would add to the chances of the enemy in locating them.
 THE Venus belt is thin, flat mem- brane from one to two feet long, and about the width of a lady's belt. Its mouth is in the middle of it's body.
 A DEcAPITATED snail, kept in moist place, will in few weeks grow a new head, quite as serviceable and good looking as that which was taken away.
 VOLUNTARY muscles are almost al- ways red; involuntary muscles are gen. orally white, the most notable excep- tion in the latter case being the heart.
 DEws are less abundant on islands and on ships in midocean. Seamen nearing land can tell that fact by req. son of the deposits of dew on the vessel.

THEY WCULDn'T EAT FEM.

Sad Experience of Chicagoan Who Got
 the Peanut Concession at Antwerp.
 Americans eat a good many things unknown to Europeans and others which the people on the other side would not eat even if they had a chance. Bananas, sweet potatoes, popcorn and peanuts are almost unknown in Europe. A young Chicagoan did not know this, and it cost him several thousand dollars to find it out. He returned from the Antwerp exposition, where he experi- mented with the sale of popcorn and peanuts, and the stories he tells of his experiences are amusing.
 q knew the concessionnaires at the worlds fair in Chicago earned money out of nickel bags of popcorn and pea nuts," he said. 'The firm who had the concession here made something like one hundred thousand dollars. 1 had four or five thousand dollars saved up for good investment, and so when the fair closed here I made application for the sole concession of the sale of pea nuts at Antwerp. There were no com petitors and I got the concession. Now I wish I had not. l bought up all the popcorn and peanut roasters left over from the fair and went down south and purchased a car load of peanuts and made contracts for several other car loads to be shipped later on. But did not need them. The paraphernalia, to- gether with several hundred bags of old corn and peanuts, went over and l followed it. After weeks of hard work was ready for business. But there was none. Money is less plentiful in Europe than in the United States. Those people over there thought as much of five centimes as an American thinks of half dollar. 1 saw had to make low price for my stuff, so l put the popcorn and peanuts on sale at fifteen centimes bag, which is equal to three cents in United States money. Well, I had my hopes built up and be- fore 1 started to sell 1 dreamt of bags full of twenty-franc gold pieces and what I would do with them when I got back to Chicago. You can imagine my surprise when l saw what the first woman did who had induced her com panion to buy bag of popcorn. She bit piece in two, looked scared, and then exclaimed in French: Why, it is cork. The Americans want to poison us.'
 Her companion tasted the corn and jabbered something in French. and then took the whole bag and threw it away. When 1 saw this was ready to faint. One after another the popcorn bags found their way to the floor. My hopes shattered, 1 still had confidence in the peanuts. But they did not like them either. They broke the shells, took out the nuts, hull and all munched them and then cried 'b-r-r-r,' and the peanuts went the way of the popcorn. How did 1 come out? 1 came out and that is about all. I staid there six weeks, and after I lost all my money started to see some of the continent. Now, 1 am glad I am in Chicago, and don't want anything to do with pea nuts or popcorn in Europe hereafter It has been a lesson to me, and paid five thousand dollars for it, still I guess it is worth its price,

William Woodward Died While at His
Supper.
Last Wednesday night, VIM. H. Wood
ward was at the supper table at his resi-
dence, No. 543 North Laurel ST., when he
was stricken with apoplexy and died
without uttering sound.
Mr.. Woodward was a laborer, and had
been employed all day at the Cumber-
land Glass Works. After he returned
home he seated himself at the supper
table and was apparently in good health.
He had nearly finished his meal and his
wife had gone in the sitting room to get a
needle and thread. She heard her hus-
band groaning and thought he had
choled. She hurried into the dining
room, and her husband fell toward her,
and he died Immediately in her arms.
County Physician Thompson was sum-
moned, and after an Investigation found
the man had died from apoplexy.

LAMBERT EFFUsIvELY RELIGIOUS


For Third Time the Murderer's Execu-
ton Day Passes.
The hour for Theodore Lambert's ex-
ecution for the murder of Baker Kairer
passed for the third time Thursday, and
he is still very much alive. Instead of
walking in solemn procession to the gall
lows he was holding a sort of levee in his
cell in the Camden county jail. He was
as frisky as kitten and ate his meals
with such relish as he has not enjoyed in
many day. To his visitors Lambert
was effusively religious and full ofthank-
fulness. He played and sang good deal
during the day, and in the morning he
penned a note to the public, expressing
his appreciation of Gods services in the
case. His letter was made up Of verses
from the Psalms, and signed Nicholas
4. Lambert, a Child of the King, Thank
God.'

William Southard an Unhappy Young
After nearly years absence, William
Southland is again in Jail, and will remain
there in close confinement until some
time in February.
Sheriff Shinn went to Gloucester Mon
day morning and visited the City Hall,
and found Southland there. ''How are
you Billy" asked the Sheriff, and the
reply was, "How do you do, Sheriff.
No other words were spoken.
Monday, with his hands hand cuffed
behind him, the young man arrived in
Jail, and was Immediately locked up.
Southland told the Jail warden that he
had no cause to run away, and did not
know why he did so. AS soon as he
skipped away from here he went to An
derson, Indiana, and remained there un-
til a few weeks ago, when he became in
toxicated, and stole a ride East ON the
cars. On Saturday he went over to Glou-
cester for good time, and became en-
gagged in a fight, and his arrest followed.
