weigh them; how we could ascertain

"BiIIington,s Sea-

There is tangible evidence that the
pious passengers of the Mayfower were
not entirely without sense of humor.
Back of Plymouth over the hill upon
which they planted their cannon is a
large fresh water pond, perhaps mile
in diameter, which, it appears from the
records, was discovered by John Bill
lington while he was providing around
one night, probably on a scouting expe-
dition looking for Indians. In the morn
ing he reported that he had found the
sea in that direction and there was
lively dispute between him and the 9TH
er pilgrims as to the accuracy of his in
formation. He stuck to his theory with
the same tenaoity that he adhered to his
religion, and to this day that pond is
called "Billington's sea. . - Chicago

Irving md Dogs.

Some years ago, according to the Lon
don Ladies' Kennel Journal, Sir Henry
Irving had dog he called Midsummer
Nights Dream. He thought it was a
bull terrier and made present OF it to
G. w Childs. The animal was exhibit.
ed in Philadelphia exhibition, where
it attracted considerable attention This
reused the ire of the other exhibitors,
and they declared that Midsummer
Nights Dream was not bull terrier
but a half bred bulldog. One of them
wrote on a piece of paper, which was
attached to the dogs kennel Henry
Irving may know great deal about
Shakespeare, but he knows nothing
about bull terriers. -

A Boston broker boasts OF rather a

dropping in at the Office dispatched the
lad for some cigars, giving him 81

with four cigars. The caller commended
him for purchasing such good ones, and

six cigars with the remark, Ere's the
