stow an aim because, forsooth, she took
snuff! Why, would have plunked down
my last quarter to- have bought her
snuff. 1t took me right back to the time
when 7 used to take eight dozen eggs
to go to the village general store to ex-
change them for snuff to fill my mothers
snuff-box and buy a paper of pins"
"Where might that have been, pard-
ner?" asked the old boy with an ear

'That was in Huron county, O., in
the year 1886, or Whereabouts. And
can't remember when T ever failed to
get my mother her snuff" =:
"Eyther eggs was mighty cheap then
or snuff was dear. Why, you could get
hundred papers of pins with eight

but if anybody wants to tickle their

DIVORCES IN ENGLAND.

According to Statistics Man In Gem
orally the Aggrieved Party.
Publication of the divorce court sta
tistics of England reveals an amomaly
of interest; to those familiar with di-
vorce proceedings in this country. The
most surprising featureabout them-so
surprising, indeed, that were not the
figures absolutely beyond reproach, the
advanced woman would probably loud
~ protest against their fidelity-is that
the aggrieved party, in THESE n1atri
monial suits proves on about three &C.
casions out of five to- have been the hus-
band. Only 220 wives found OCCASION to
petition the court for release from the
bonds of matrimony, the same applica-
ton having been madeby 353 husbands,
The occupations of those who passed
through the divorce court seem also
worthy of note. Clerks, curiously
enough, head the list of suitors in these
causes, though builders and carpenters
bracke'ted as equal run a very good Sec
ond. There were 38 of the clerks on
the cause list during the year in ques-
ton and 80 each of the two latter call
ings. Painters and merchant seamen
ard officers follow next with. 81; sol
dDers and naval seamen with IS; farm.
ers with IS; coachmem, cabmem and
carriers with Is, and commercial trav-
elers with 10. The professions, it is
rather surprising to- find, come far be-
hind the trades. There are only ten
physicians and surgeons, five solicitors
andt--mirabile !dictu-two. journalists
The rear of: the list is brought up by q
solitary barrister.

Soldiers and Pastry.

The Rutland Herald of yesterday saws
"The Grant dedication special, bearing
members of the Vermont national guard
about 600 strong, reached Rutland ovel
the Bennington & Rutland railroad Thurs.
day morning about II o'clock. The boys
promptly divided themselves up into details
and made assault upon the various restau.
rants and hotels of the city. The scene al
the depot may be easily imagined from the
pastry statistics reported by the attendants
They made way with Is sandwiches, half a
bushel of doughnuts, 80 pies, and cups o.
coffee which were not numbered. Othe,
details raided the fruit stands, while few
repaired to the hotels" Some of these
soldiers tarried too long at the lunch
counters and missed their train and could
have been seen roaming about the street,

"Ihe New Eight Bells"

Lovers OF music, pantomime and scenic
effects will have treat in the production
Of Eight Bells" which will open at the
opera house, Thursday evening Nav 6.
This species Of entertainment, especially
the trick property part of it has an abiding
hold upon theatre-goers of high and low
degree, and helps to prove the assertion
that we are all children when the appro-
pirate moment comes around "Eight
Bells" in its rejuvenated state, is one Of
the funniest works of its class, and barring
slight tendency to give the susceptible
spectator an attack of seasickness, is thor.
oughly enjoyable. The play is certainly
inclusive enough in the variety OF amuse.
ment it offers in the course of an evening
1t contains a burlesque, a farce comedy, 4
musical comedy, pantomime and spec
tacular production. The great revolving
ship scene, the trick wagon, the hustlnl
octopus, the funny pranks of the SUDDEN
statues, the weird trunks and doors ant
chairs, are among the novelties.
The Byrne Brothers are wonderful,
agile and clever pantomimists. John +
Byrne, is the inventor of the mechanical
effects, which are truly marvellous, and h.
is also the author of the lines. All of TIN
brothers are agile acrobats, that would d,
credit to any circus. 1t is not hard t,
conceive that such people associated to
gether could keep things quite lively, ant
that is just what they do.

Keene Wood Rim Company Goes to Bethe

hetne WOOu XIII VOWpdny uOeS u DttHtl
The Keene wood rim bicycle business
which has heretofore been conducted in
Keene in connection with the business OF
the Keene Furniture company will shortly
be moved to Bethel, Vt. S. A. Peartt,
the principal owner in the business, has
recently bought the large tract Of wood
land, formerly owned by the Tweed River
Iron company, west of Pittsfeld village
and finds that one of the largest items Of
his expense in making bicycle rims is the
freight on his lumber and about three
fourths of this item can be eliminated by
having his factory in Bethel thus saving
the freight on the waste lumber. AS an
inducement for Mr.. Peartt to come to
Bethel the citizens have been making SUBJ
scriptions in money, labor and material
and have made pledges to something over
$4,000 which is to be an outright gift with
the exception that if the company does
not remain ten years employing at least SO
hands that the factory is to revert to the
subscribers or they receive their money
back with interest. Two or three acres OF
large meadow have been purchased, and
the business will be moved from Keene as
soon as possible. This company is doing
large business, and expects to do much
better next season.
