She was poStmistress of penzance.
Cornwall, and ruled her office with Il
hand of steel. She had two rules which
admitted of no oNception-she never
gave change. and She would not open
the Office window when BOX Closed
or Mail not Sorted" was placarded.
The sport-loving gentry often tried to
break through her cast-ron rules. Two
such attempts Mr.. Baines, sometime
inspector general of her majesty's
mails, chronicles in his book, "On the
Track of the Mail-Coach:"
A traveller wagered that he would
break through the blockade of BOX
Closed" He knocked so persstently
at the little window. that Mt last it was
opened far enough for him to thrust in
a bundle Of letters. lie thought for n
moment that he had won; but he didn't
know the postmistless, who flung his
letters into the street.
Then n colonel undertook to under.
mine the postmlstress's position on the
giving -of-change question. Present.
ing himself at the window, he rendered
n half-crown, requesting TO be supplied
with shilling's worth of postage
stamps.

"Oh, very well"' replied the colonel.
He withdrew for a minute or two,
and then returned with bag of sixty
pennies. Tapping gently at the win.
dow, he suavely said, "A penny stamp,
If you please, madam"
She fixed him with the glittering eye
of triumph, took the penny, gave the
stamp. and shut the window. A min
ute later there was u second knock, and
second request, "A penny postage

thirtieth penny the postmistress sur

italian Adventures in Abyssin,n.

italian Adventures in Abyssinin.
Comparable In many respects to our
Indian fighting, the disastrous cam
paign In Abyssnia has not merely
taught the Italians hard lesson, but
has supplied them with fund OF
stories OF individual bravery which
will prove bracink TO the national val
or, though the main result Of the cam
pnign is crushing to the national pride.
Men engaged In desperate conflict
with the North American Indians are
known TO save one charge In their rifles
or revolvers to be used on themselves
NJ the last eXtremlty-to save them
from Indian torture. 1t is estimated
that hundreds of Italians died by their
own hands in the battle of Adowa and
during the terrible days which followed
It for the same reason.
General Arlmondi Is known TO have
committed suicide I'm the presence of
his remaining men; but this was rather
from chagrin and grief than from fear
of torture at tic hands of the enemy.
Sometimes the Italian officers were
too ready 60 hasten their fate, and in
some instances they estimated too un-
favOrahly the character of their enemy.
Captain Ademollt and Lieutenant Me
narinl, after being both badly wound
cd, fell into the lands of the Abyssn-
ian chief, Schat. They expected TO he
put to death, hut through the intervcn-
tlon of the chief they were given drink
and set at liberty.
Soon. however, they were surround
cd by another band of about dozen
natives. by this time the two officers
had been Joined by an Italian corporal,
who had his rife Giving themselves
| up for lost, the two officers were about
to shoot themselves.
Don't be such fOols!" said the cor
poral. He led the way TO rock, and
| the three white men leaned their backs
| against It, Then the corporal proceed
cd TO bring down three or four of the
| Abysslnians to skilllully that the rest
took to light. Captain, lieutenant and
corporal all succeeded In reaching Il
place of safety.
The name of the corporal Is not pre-
served by the Italian papers which mar
rate this adventure, though he seems
! more worthy of fame than many men
of higher rank.

1t Is generally believed that hogs
cannot swim. but Capt. Alfred Plat Of
burlington, y. j.. says his can. Capt.
Platt owns q farm on Burlington
Island.
Several days ago he was looking over
his stock. when he became aware that
some of his hogs were missing. He
began Il search for the fugltlves. and
going down on the beach he was sur
prlsed to find dozen of them swim
ming around In the water.
He tried in various ways to coax thea
to shore. but in vain. After having
stayed In the water as long as they
cared to they slowly made their way
back to their sty without so much as n
glance at their owner.
\ few days later there were some
little pigs born, ana before they were
twenty-four hours old they were taken
for swim by their parents, who had
become 80 fond of the sport that they
visited the beach daily.--New York

in n Pennsylvania Mound.

Mound builders work of great value Is bo.
Ing uncovered q. McKee's Rocks, Penn.
Thomas Harper, who is superntending the
work, believes that the specimens found re-
comfy are not less than 1000 years old. aud
proves that they were made by the most an.
Client people that inhabited this country.
Bore avis or needles were included In the
find. and Mr.. Harper says they can partially
be restored. A tomnhawk, which he regards
az not being less than ten centuries old, was
also found. The same kind OF weapons are
found In tho British Is!es. Mr.. Harper says
the weapon is similar in appearance to the
naloith, which was used for striking. It Is
made OF gneiss. 1t Is considered an extra.
ordinary discovery.
The bone implement, or fiaher, is regarded
by Mr.. Harper as possessing unusual inter-
est. This is the implement with which prlm.
tive men, rs well as ancient people, made
flint instruments. Mr.. Harper maintains
that this Inst fnd proves that the mound was
built by mound builders. ~ .a ..N
