Said Dudley Harris of the Secret Service

been seen since by any of the Government

Secret Service Agent Harris is very

to have been the chief manipulation in the

The United States secret service is leav-

The captain of the fishing steamer Far

capsizing of small fshing-boat outside

He picked up the boat and brought it in.
He said he thought its occupant was

Inquiry at the life-saving station failed
of any further information. The waves
dash against the rocks furiously where the
boat overturned, and man would have to

The matter of the removal of E. A. Bull

Tho Usefulness of u jest.

He stood upon the platform Of his
car serene and smiling, when every car
driver and truckman on West street was
swearing and cursing. The jam was
tremendous, and the street was packed
from curb TO curb. Yet whenever he
spoke it was with some good natured
Jest, and the truck drivers turned out Of
his way and let car IS go by. He hailed
them all with merry badinage, and the
surliest Of them grinned from ear to ear
and gave him back all that he sent.
"It's easy" he said to me confden-
italy. "When once you get man to
smile, he'll do anything you want him
to do. Did you see that surly chap driv-
ing the beer wagon? kept chatting him
until l got him to laughing. and when
a man once lets a smile chase over his
face, he's a goner. Itell you, my friend,
that even down here in West street good
nature will so farther in getting your
own way than all the yelling and ours
ing"
And the philosophical car driver
whipped up his horses and told the
charioteer Of the wagon in front that NO
man could stop things up as he did I'M
less he were from Cork. The wagon
turned aside, and the man grinned and
said that he was from Limerick. New

ALslNO HUCKLEeERRlES.
A Curlous Fruit Said to 10 Peculiar to
the State OF Wooden Nutmegs.

the State OF Wooden NutmeGs.
Farmer /. B. Crandall Of BoTah, six
miles west Of this city, came to town
recently with five quarts Of albino hue
kleberries, which he readily sold for a
round price to merchants and others
who fancy freaks Of nature. Mr.. Gran
dall's fruit was the finest sample Of
white hucklebcrrios ever seen in Nor
wich The berries were all large, hard,
firm Of texture, sweet and luscious and
about as white as milk. Albino berries
are extremely rare-in fact. about as
skeerce as hens teeth, " said Mr.. Gran
dali, after he had pocketcd 20 cents a
box for some Of the fruit.
There are not more than half dozen
places in Connecticut, probably, where
they grow, and it is not known that
they grow in any other state. There is
patch Of albino bearing bushes in the
billy town Of Salem, which adjoins Boz
rah; another in Hartford county, q
third in Windham county, and there are
two or three more in different parts Of
the state. The Salem albinos cluster
about the apex Of wind swept, treeless
knoll in the middle Of a heavy wood,
and the whole plot is not more than Is
or 20 feet in diameter. By many persons
it is believed that the berries are not al
binos, but distinct species Of whortle-
berries, since they never mix or ANAL
gamate with the common black buckle
berry. Neither are they greatly disposed
to propagate themselves or spread on
new ground. All the widely separated
plots are Of about the same dimensions,
while in the case Of the Salem patch it
is known to be Of just about the same
size now as 100 years ago. In most re-
spects the albinos differ not at all from
the black berries except in color, al
though some country people affirm that
when fully ripe they are trife sweet
er, with a more decided flavor. Like all
albinos, whether of the animal or yege-
table world, they are irradiated with a
faint pink hue, seemingly from light
glowing within the rind, which is as
beautiful as it is curious. Most Of the
albino patches yield not more than
quart of berries each.-Norwich Conn.

Cost Of Living In Paris.

An able statistician has been esti-
mating the cost Of living in Paris at the
present time and has compared it with
that Of 40 years ago. He shows that in
the ffties an average middle class fam
ily could do with a budget Of 100000,
or 900, annually. That did not mean
luxury, but it was sufficient for comfort
and required no economical engineering
for the purpose Of making both ends
meet. Nowadays the case is different,
and an official with a wife and three
children dependent on 100000 a year
has to work miracles Of saving in order
to avoid getting into debt. Accordingly
in less than half a century the condi-
tions Of life in Paris have been COM
pletely modified. Il is 10 exaggeration,
in fact, to say that prices have doubled,
and with them has increased the desire
for a moro luxurious mode Of living
than that led by the average Partisan Of
the fifties. The statistician has revealed
nothing new, but his figures serve to
emphasize the fact that the French cap
ital is the most expensive place Of resi-
dence in Europe. London Telegraph.

Leather Tires.

Two Frenchmen of Rheims have re-
Gently completed an invention which
they claim will in a measure revolution
ize the present pneumatic tire. They
build their wheels by substituting an
outer pneumatic tube made of leather
for the rubber tubes now in use. Their
invention has been taken up by the min
istry of war, which is now perfecting
the idea with a view to supply all the
military cycles with tires that will not
give out easily.
The resistance of leather is consider
ably greater than that Of rubber, and it
will better stand the pressure from
within and the exterior agents Of de-
struction, such as nails, hoops, roots or
sharp pebbles. 1t is not absolutely i'm
Preferable, but it is at least as good as
the fine steel band which was expert
mentally placed between the outer and
inner tubes, and which was pierced by
needles and tacks. Leather offers the
greatest impenetrability in relation to
its thickness without impairing the nee
essary elasticity tits further improved
by preparation which renders it inn
permeable 10 water. The leather tire is
easily repaired in case Of perforation--
any,cobbler can sew it up-and this re-
pair is permanent and not likely to get
out of order.
Other advantages claimed for the
leather tire are: Greater lightness, it
will not get ont Of shape as does rubber,
and it will not slip ON asphalt pavement
or wet roads The new material for the
tire seems to meet with great encourage
ment ON the part Of the military author

TeschIng Pheasants to Peck In ceyIOn.

Teaching Ihcasants 10 Ieck IN Neyloh'
Walking down a road one morning
with neighbor we suddenly noticed a
little ball Of fluff between my feet, and
could hardly avoid stepping on it, IS
it stuck close to me; almost immedl-
ately another appeared at my friend S
feet, and We saw they were newly
Matched pheasants, the mother probably
carried off by some wildcat. As it was
difficult to walk with these little things
running so close and in the way, we
lifted them into the short grass along
side, and hurried Oh some 80 yards.
On returning we had forgotten them,
but one ran ont, and so pertinaciously
stuck to my boots that, to save it, put
it into my pocket, and on cur arrival at
the bungalow tried to feed it with small
fragments Of hard boiled eggs, rice and
white ants. OF all these it took 10 no.
tice. Next morning the other chick was
found at the foot Of the bungalow steps,
having probably followed us unnoticed
the day before. l then called my ba-
bu, las 1 could not get them to cat,
and he said, "They must be taught. "
He put the gauze wire cover they
were under and tho crushed rice, egg,
etc, on a hard wood table, and taking a
pencil from his pocket and collecting
the eatables together, close to the edge
Of the gauze cover, he lifted its edge,
and, with the pencil point inserted, be-
gan sharply tapping among the rice de-
bis. The two chicks at once ran over
to that place and bent over, watching
the tapping, and, to our establishment,
they began tapping with their little
beaks the same way. and before long

The origin of "croft " itself, even more
than of its sister words, is "wrop in
mystery" 1t is a very old English
term, appearing in the charters or title
deeds Of estates as long ago as the reign
Of Edgar, where the phrase lat the
croft S head" is quoted by Dr.. Murray,
but it remained long unrecognized IN
the literary language. The old English
form, like the modern one, is "crOft, "
meaning an inclosed field. In lowland
Scotch it appears generally in the form
craft" which is still employed in
many derivatives, but the only other
Teutonic equivalent in the sister Ian
guages is the Dutch work "kroft, "
which means "a piece Of high and dry
land, va field on the downs, "a rocky
headland. In the north Of England,
according to Ray, the word "croft" i'm
plies neighborhood to a house, but in
the south it is applied to any small in
closure, near a building or otherwise.
DR.. Murray's English dictionary gives
several uses Of croft in early times,
though not for the most part in what
can fairly be called literature. AS he
stood in his croft, says a legal writer
Of the thirteenth century, whose spell
ing and grammar mercifully modern
ize. While Piers Plowman writes,
birds come into my croft and crop my
wheat " Early in the sixteenth century
Fitzherbert defines a curtylage what
ever that may be- as "a lytell croft or
court to put in catell for tyne. " In
the seventeenth century the phrase &C.
ours, "All Guild tenants shall have a
croft and a meadow" which sounds as
if it came out Of a crofter commission
report. But it was Milton who first en-
nobled the plebeian word by admitting
it frankly into immortal poetry. The
spirit in "Comus" says to the elder
brother:
