In many family. particularly in New England, sneeze is generally fol- lowed by a hearty God bless us," though little thought Is ever paid to the meaning of the phrase or why 1t is used. A curious explanation of the origin of the phrase Is given. It seems that several centuries ago au epidemic like our present influenza became rife all over Europe. the first symptom of which was violent sneezing. The pope at that time prescribed prayers against the epidemic and recommended cer- tain short ejaeulations, to be made when anyone sueezed in such a way as to show signs of having contracted the malady Hence all over Europe we have these calculations. practically of the same character.

ROCK MAPLE THANKED sHAD. Maine Recipe That Is Far Ahead of the
 Chesapeake Idea.

The man who discovered that a green rock maple slab was far ahead ee the green ash plank used along Chesa- peake bay for cooking planked shad is State Senator Henry P. Sharp of Mon- tieello. The secret was revealed by ac, eident. Years ago, when he was a woods foreman, he had great trouble in finding cant dog handles that would not bend. Ash and oak made excel lent handles. but as soon as they be- came wet the men who piled the logs bent them into fantastic shapes. Alter ten years of trial with all kinds of wood Mir Sharp learned that rock ma pie was the orly material that would remain stiff after i5 was water-soaked. As result of this every cant dog now has 3 rock maple handle. Two years ago this spring Senator Sharp went down the river and bought a dozen shad fresh from the weirs. On his way home he stopped at 0rono to visit the cant dog factory and have planked shad for dinner. As no green ash could be had for the pIanking, fresh and sappy slab was sawed of from the cat dog stock at ths mill, and to this the shad was begged, after which t was upholstered with thin strips of fat salt pork and placed upon the e0aIs to cook. The heat of the fire started the maple sap in the slab and made 1t sizzle about the shad, and bY the time the fish was cooked it was surrounded with a crystal wall of maple sugar. Men who helped eat tha first shad ever cooked fn maple syrup say it was something to remember for a lifetime They finished the entire fish ia short order, and then cooked an- other and another, using a fresh slab every time. Then they went and told their friends about the wonderful dish. Al present no one thinks about using white ash when green rock maple can be procured for cooking shad The men who are fond of planked shad cooked by the Sharp process are about to give the senator a dinner at a Ban- Sor hotel in order to convince him how thoroughly they appreciate hia dfscoyery.--New York Sun.

Queer Coincidenoss.

There is a little world Tn which ws live and the people most certain of this are these who have experienced strange eoineidenees which seem al- most impossible The New York Tel egraph relates some cases which are authentic.

 The stories of strange coincidences in the matter of the recovery of lost property are legion. Two years ago a lady staying at Long Branch lost a gold ring while bathing. A reward was offered and all the boys of the place raked the whole shore up in search Of it. But it was never found. The next year the lady was at Long Branch again, and while reading on the shore, never looking for the ring or thinking of it, she turned it up accidentally with her parasol

Paam frees in Cuba.

The royal palm of Cuba consists of tall, straight trunk of very fibrous nature, and supports a cluster of ten- hated leaves like a bunch of plumes on a long stick. The leaves are large and leathery. These leaves continue to grow from the center to a great length. When the leaves cannot grow any more they drop to the ground from the bottom of the cluster, thus making room for the new ones. which are always coming out of the center. It also yields. in the proper season, yellow flowers. The fruit cannot bs eaten.

THE oUICK-FfRING CRAZE.
vast Reaching the Point of Absolute
 Absurdity.


 Absurdity.
 The Austrian press, including even the military journal ReiehsWehr, has been giving prominence to the alleged invention of a remarkable qutek-dring rifle. says the London Globe. This truly wonderful weapon viii in the hands of trained soldier emit no fewer than 2.700 bullets an hour. or forIy=fiYe in one minute. Thus in an engagement which lasted several hours each soldier could loose of 3 eantload of ammunition, if he had it at his aI- bow; and an army Of 5000 men-a mere handful of men as continental armies go-wouId require 50,000 cart loads with the firing line h one seri- ous engagement For q campaign of invasion each soldier would require to be followed by a magazine; and a shell exploding in company would produce as many devastating explosions as there were men. If, on the other hand, each soldier marched with, say, his own 200 rounds. he could fire them all in less than five minutes and be left without ammunition for the rest of the engage ment. Such considerations are. of course, extreme; but they show that the 'reductio ad absurdum" of quick firing rifles is easily reached. Even uow the difficulty is to get enough am- munition to the firing line and to keep control of the fire. If rapidity of fire Is much increased without some entire ly new method of bringing up ammu- milton the occasional advantage of be ing able to pour in deadly hail of bull lets for minute or two will be dearly purchased at the cost of whole bri- gades perhaps being rendered .shors de combat" for want of ammunition at the beginning of fight. What applies to rifle fire applies also to artillery; and the armies which have been in a hurry to arm themselves with so-called quick-fring artillery before the ma chinery was perfect or the ammunition problem solved may find themselves in d worse quandary than if they had re- tained their old weapons
