A Queer Regulation.

a novel rule regulating the riding of
bicycles on the sidewalks has been de-
vised by the board of selectmen of the
town of Stonington, Conn. No one
will be allowed to ride wheel on the
sidewalk between the hours of six p.
IN. and six a. m, but during the day all
bicyclists will be unmolested while on
the sidewalks, provided they dismount
when within so feet of any pedestrian.
Thus if a rider prefers to use the side
walks during the day he must not for
get that when he sights pedestrian it
is his duty to dismount and wait until
the person on foot covers the required
distance of so feet. Then he can again
mount to pursue his way without fear
of falling into the hands of the con.
stables

ager and actor, one Sunday in the win

his little playhouse, 'Auf den Hausen,

on the bills was "Kabale and Liebe."
The audience consisted of one solitary
person. Nevertheless, Waltersdorf i'll
sisted on beginning the play, 10 the cha
grin of his company who expected
that the empty playhouse meant a
holiday for the actors. They took the
widest liberty with the text, and
scarcely word reached the audience.
Thereupon the solitary audience stood
up and demanded that the play should
be duly rendered according to the play

manager to policeman, who lurkcd be-

a MONSTER PUDDING.
1t Was Built on Savage Island, in Il
Village of Liku.

1t Was Built on Savage Island, in the
Village of Liku.
had been ten years on Savage island,
and meant to come to England on
visit, but before leaving went to each
village to say "good-by" to the people.
We had been three weeks from home
when we got to little village called
Liku. The evening after our arrival
there was terrible commotion-men,
women and children were running
about-carrying sticks. some logs of
wood and some big stones. The men
began digging a long, shallow trench
with their sharp-pointed sticks. The
boys brought big stones and firewood.
These were piled up all along one side
of the trench. The wood was then set
fire to and was soon blazing, while the
stones on the top were getting hot.
While the fire was burning one side
little bundles of something white and
soft were being undone from the clean
leaves that contained them. This was
the paste out of which the pudding was
to be made.
There were no flour, suet, eggs, milk,
plums or currants in it. 1t was the
paste of a native vegetable called taro,
and old cocoanut, both grated very fine
and mixed together. A long pudding
cloth was laid along the side of the
trench, and in it the pudding was care
fully wrapped. 1t was not calico or
linen, but nice clean banana leaves.
Over this long cocoanut leaves were
plated. When the stones were hot
enough some were quickly laid along
the bottom of the trench, then the long
pudding laid on top of them and then
some more stones at the sides and on
the top. Some girls had brought
heaps of leaves to lay over the top to
keep the heat and steam in, and the
earth which had been dug out of the
trench was thrown over the top. The
cooks and puddingmakers all went to
sleep and left the stars to watch their
cookery. Next morning at eight the
whole village was astir, men, women
and children, all in holiday attire.
1t was soon uncovered and was found
TO be well done. Long poles were
brought and laid the whole length.
These were fastened to the pudding by
small vines, canes, etc. 1t was then
rolled out of the trench on one side;
short sticks were made fast crosswise
to the poles and all was ready for talk
ing up. About one hundred men and
boys then raised il on their shoulders
and with one tremendous shout started
toward my house, accompanied by the
whole village. L measured it before
carving and found it was two hundred
feet long-two feet longer than the
monument of London is high. Itmeas-
ured thirteen inches in circumference.
1t was soon carved into pieces four
yards long, and these were distributed
ali over the land, men carrying as much
pudding as their strength would allow
to distant villages.-Spokane Review.

A Willy FROG.
BY Crafty Stratagem He Saved Himself
from Being Swallowed by Snake.

By Crafty Stratsgem He Saved Himself
from Being Swallowed by a Snake.
The south branch of the Raritan river
runs through Clinton, n. j., and along
the picturesque Lehigh Valley railroad.
l. is famous for its black bass, turtle
and water pilots and its wooded shores
are great resorts for fishing and picnic
parties. At Kershaw's mills there is
large dam, overwhich superfuous water
empties into a sort of raceway. Huge
rocks and powders support this dam,
and, during a dry spell, when very
little or no water is running over the
dam, huge, ugly-looking, brOwn-col-
ored water snakes use the rocks for sun
baths.
Itwas at this point that Mick Samp-
son witnessed singular scene recently.
He was watching the snakes and had
his eye on an old fellow who, he de-
clares, had scales on him like a sala-
mander, when his attention was drawn
to frog that was hopping along on the
bare ground between the rocks and the
river. The frog was nearing the snake,

frog had evidently ''been to school"

said Mick" for as soon as the frog
came in reach he sprang for him. The
frog, seeing him, essayed to get away,
making a high leap toward the water.
Put the snake was too quick for him
and got between him and the water.
1t was then that the frog manifested
his schooling. lie picked up a twig
about four inches long and held 1T in
his mouth like a bit. / wondered what
for and when 1 ascertained said l to my
self:

1.-THE snake seized the frog by the fore
leg and, lengthening out, proceeded to
get outside of him. He opened his jaws
and wriggled forward. In went the
frogs leg and hen,after many efforts,
the snake got the frogs nose and part
of his head in until he came to the twlg,
which, extending an inch beyond and
across his own jaws, queered him and
saved the frog. The snake writhed and
wriggled frantically. He relaxed the
muscles of his jaws, but all in vain.
Il laughed so hard and so long that
l became weak in my knees and had To
sit down and rest before l looked for "A

quickly down upon the snake, who was

with one strong, well-directed blow

and his jaws relaxed, the frog backed
out, dropped the twig, looked up at me
and gave a croak of thanks. Before l
could reach him he gave two leaps and
