TOOK HIM FOR A REPORTER.
The Awful Mistake Made by 8 Boston
Hostess as to Josiah quincy.

The Awful Mistake Made by 3 Boston
Hostess as to Josiah Quincy.
A good story is told in connection
with Josiah Quincy that will be ap-
preciated by all who know him. Some
time ago he was at an evening party
given in one of the most exclusive
Boston houses, and, according to his
wont, he stood aloof, preserving a
1nien of cold Indifference to his sur
reundings. speaking to no one and no
one addressing him. Finally the
hostess, one of the grand DANES of
society, saw the lonesome figure, and
not being able to recall who he was,
went in haste to her husband and
questioned him. The husband looked
and looked again, but he did
not know him either. then the
hostess in great alarm whispered
she must go ct once and
find out, for she believed him to
be a reporter! Approaching the IN
known guest she said, with an air OF
much severity:
''This is a very quiet house; we are
very quiet people and we do not car c
to have any notice made of our re-
ception for the newspapers.
'Madame!' Numbered this dis
tlnguished citizen, II an Josiah

NEVER A DAY APART.
Twin Daughters of a Man Who Fought
at the Battle of Bennington.

u -
at the Battle of Remington.
Up in Peterboro. N. H, a pictur-
ssque village in the spur of the White
mountains, lives two sisters who; are
perhaps the most remarkable of amy
twins now living. They are El4nira
and Elvira, the daughters of Abner
Fife. who was one of the General
Stark's Green Mountain boys, and
who fought in the battle of Benning-
ton when only 16 years old. The
twins were born in 1911, making them
now SO years of age. They have
never been separated. Each has be-
co &c necessary to the existence of
the other. Their tastes are alike
and q their habits identical Even
in early childhood their traits
similarity in taste extended
even to the matter of food, each car
ing for the same dishes. When fac
tories made their appearance in the
neighborhood the twin sisters went
to work in one of them, and for sixty
years toiled side by side at a mini
mum daily wage of eleven cents and
maximum of ninety. A lifetime of
hard work had not been so remun-
Grated as to enable them to live with
out outside assistanc e, so the sisters
decided their little plot of ground to
the county in consideration of being
taken care of for the remainder of
their days. Physicians are of opinion
that should one of the sisters die the
other. because of the extraordinary
bond of sympathy existing betwee q
them, would be likely to follow soon

Tons of Fish Burned Tn

j. w Nash, of the Minnesota State Fish
and Game Commission, says that fishermen
actually catch the sturgeon for the roe and
throw the fish itself away.
Il was told said he, that in Lake
Nemegen last year ons firm caught tons of
splendid sturgeon, and after stripping them
Of the eggs, threw what thousands would
have been glad to get on heap and burned
them.
IF this policy is allowed TO continue a
few years there viii be lakes without fish
When | was up on the northern border
few weeks ago to issue licenses for the
pound nets, l was told that a certain fish
company was practcing this ruinous fish
ing in Rainy lake and other lakes. Ny in
formation comes from two men and as they
said the fishermen had no means of preserv
ing The carcasses, assumed that the same
wicked waste of fish is coming on this year
as last All that is used is the roe. 1t is
shipped to Europe to be made into caviar
The roe is packed into kegs and salted 1t
Is shipped in that condition TO Germany to
be mace into fayorte dish found mostly
on saloon lunch counters and eaten with
bread i'll the shape of sandwich. The roe
sells for about $50 a keg and the caviar is
bought in quantity at from 40 to so cents,
according to the condition of the market. -

a HAND-sHAPED ORANGE.
b gs to the Osage Variety-Even
the Iinger Nails Are There.


the Finger Nails Are There.
The five-fhgered orange is queer thing,
says Pearson's 5 Weekly. 1t grows in exactly
the shape of a human hand, with thumb
and four fingers 1t is a half-open hand,
that Of this curious fruit, and the close re-
semblance to the lean, long nailed hand Is
startling. Even the nails are identical,
hard-pointcd aud claw-like, tipping the
orange fingers with u length equal in some
cases to three inches.
1t is no interloper in a wcll-regulated
family of oranges, but a regular member,
belonging to the Usage variety. 1t has
a family name, and a Christian name of
its own, but its pet name is ''five-fingeFed
orange and nobody but the botanist
cares to call It by the one, which meaus
the same thing.
The tree itself is a ragged little shrub,
that does not average more than five or
six feet in its native Japan. 1t does not
grow straight as a properly behaved tree
is supposed to do, but is curved every
where. 1t would be very difficult to find
two consecutive iuches in the entire
tree whose line of direction is the same.
Even the branches grow in spiral forms,
so that the width of the tree is often as
great as the height. The fruit itself is a
light yellow color, pure lemon hue. grow
ing greenish toward the stem. The size
is immense, considered relatively to other
oranges or to the size of the tree, the largest
ones measuring when mature fully ten inches
from the wrist to the point OF the middle
finger, including the nail.
The fruit is not eCible-none of the Usage
variety is-but what it lacks in being unable
to tickle the palate, it more than makes up
in good perfume. The strange thing con-
nected with the perfume is that it is the
fruit and not the flower that is most odorous.
The fruit when ripe is so redolent that its
scent tcanbc recognizeda fuIlmilefrom where
the orange is growing.

One day on q Third avenue elevated
train I sat next to a young man who
made such a bungling attempt to get into

and said:

than that or quit"
I'm what business?" he asked.
"Picking pockets"

top" he complacently observed as he be-
gan to read his newspaper.
He got off at 1Ath street and then began
to feel around. / found that he had taken
my gloves, handkerchief, bunch OF keys,
notebook and the only $40 bill that 1
possessed / went back to look for him
and beg his pardon and tell him to con-
tinue in the business but he was not to be
