A Nice Little EIopement.

There's a rather FUNNY circum-
stance connected with the elopement
here last week." remarked the To-
quacious landlord of the tavern in a
remote Sussex village, says an English
paper, addressing n cyclist who had
stopped for refreshment
a young man who hadn't known
her so very long ran away with the
squires daughter and a day or two
later the old gentleman sent this mes
sage by letter to his new son-in-law:
All is forgiven. Come home
"To this the young fellow tele-
graphed the reply:
All won't be forgiven until l have
kicked you well for letting me elope
with your daughter. You'd better not
be at home when come, that's all!"

There is wonderful cockatoo In ope
OF the islands of the Indian ocean, near
New Guinea. Ii Is as large as full
grown pheasant, and IL is of a jet black
color The bird Is remarkable for its
immensely strong bill and the clever
manner in which ii is used. The bill
is as hard as steel, and the upper part
has a deep notch.
Now, the favOrite food of this cocka-
too is the canary nut: but there is won
derful ingenuity required to get at 1t,
for the nut Is something like Brazil
nut, but il is ten times as hard. In
fact, IL requires the blow of n heavy
hammer TO crack IT, 1t is quite smooth
and somewhat triangular in shape.
Nature appears to have given the
possessor of the wonderful bill some
intelligence TO direct its powers, for
the cockatoo takes one of the nuts
edgewise in It's bill and by a carving
motion of its sharp lower beak makes
a small notch on it. This done, the
claws, and, biting off a piece of leaf,
retains it I'm the deep notch of the up
per part OF the BILL Then the nut is
seized between the upper and lower
parts of the bill and is prevented slip
ping by the peculiar texture of the
leaf. A sharp nip or two breaks off a
tiny piece of the shell Of the nut The
bird then seizes the nut in its claws
and pokes the long sharp point of its
bill into the hole and picks out the
kernel bit by bit.-Savannah News.

Easy Cure For Cold.

DR.. Nassauer, an English physician
of note, describes an easy cure for
cold ~ the head.
Take a solution of permanganate Of
pota ssium-enough TO cover the tip Of
a small knife in half liter OF water
nd put few drops in warm water
50 that it becomes faint pink. Blow
the nose and alternately wash out the
nostrils with the solution allow il to
run out at the mouth. Then dip a
bit OF cotton wool in the solution,
wrap it about the finger, and rub the
nostrils. Stuff pieces OF dry cotton up
the nostrils and pour the solution up
the nostrils until the cotton is satu-
rated. Lett remain an hour.

REPAIRS ON CONY HOUSE.
Extensive Improvements To Be Commenced
This Week. on This Popular House.

The Cony house in this city. since
it has been under the management of
j. p. Randall, the present proprietor.
has been one of the most popular and
successful holtelries in Maine enjoying
a very large share Of public patronage,
especially among commercial travellers
who have found its central location
very handy for their business. Mr..
Randall, realizing that none but an
up-to-date establishment can long sue
coed, has arranged for various addi-
tions to be begun at once and pushed
to an early completion and which when
fully carried out will make the Cony
house second to none in Maine.
Among the improvements proposed is
an entire new system of plumbing. new
bath rooms both for general use and
also connected and opening out of
suits of rooms. The dining room and
office are to be entirely renovated and
decorated in the latest style. new steel
ceilings and new gas and electric fix
lures added 50 when completed the
present rooms would hardly be recUg-
nized. All the sleeping rooms are to be
gone through and everything put in as
good shape as money can do it, The
furnishings. beds, etc. are all to be re-
newed and improved and a great va
riety of minor changes made all OF
which will enable Landlord Randall to
furnish the guests with as good enter
tainment as they will receive at any
hotel in the State
The demands of the travelling public
are constantly increasing and it is to
keep abreast of these requirements
that Mr.. Randall has made his plans
TO meet the wishes of the most par
ticular. The improvements which will
be begun. this week, will be pushed to
an early conclusion and all finished be-
fore July |. The house will be open
all the time and guests will be incon-
venienced very little while the repairs
are going on.

A Saturday Night Row.

There was a slight mix-up at the
City hotel. Saturday evening. about 80
o'clock. between Landlord Bowman
and John Cronin, Cronin had been
drinking and his story greatly differs
from Mr.. Bowmans. Mr.. Bowman
says that he twice pushed Cronin out
of the hotel after he had been told to
keep out. He further says that he did
not hit him but simply took hold of
his shoulder and put him out. Cronin
says Mr.. Bowman struck him and cut
deep cash down the front of his nose
which freely bled. How the cash
came there is a mystery which will be
cleared up in the municipal court, this
morning, for Cronin was using vile
language after being put out. and was
arrested.
