AN ISLAND OF WIDOWS.

OF the coast of Norway is a small
sland called Aarlud, which boasts The
unique distinction OF being peopled ex-
clusively by widows. The circum-
stances under which this state OF affairs
was brought about are no less curious
than distressing.
A short time nee a man arrived on
the island from Haugesund, on the
mainland, with his wife aud family, to
participate in the spring egg gathering.
While testing his ropes on cliff, pre-
paratory to commencing his search he
happened to make false step forward
over the cliff. He was instantly killed.
As there had not been a death on the
island since eleven years before, when
boy was killed by boulder from the
same cliff falling on him, the occurrence
naturally cast a gloom over the small
community established there. This
consisted of some thirty fisherman with
their familiee. AS mark OF sympathy
and respect all the men determined 10
attend the funeral of the unfortunate,
which was TO take place at the cemetery
a. HaugesuDd on the mainland. Bu
during the proceedings at the burial
ground q tremendous gale arose. When
the men returned to their smack the
storm was at its height.
After carefully considering the situa-
ton tne thirty fishermen determined to
sail for Aarlud, and having taken ad-
vantage OF the opportunity to repleDish
heir household supplies the boat was
rather heavily laden. Their progress
through the angry sea was most anx-
lousy watched by the people on the
mainland, who, when the boat had gone
the distance OF about nile and half
from the coast, saw hat The vessel wes
in great distress. Efforts were st once
made TO 90 10 its assistance, but the
heavy sea beat back every boat that
was launched. A few moments after.
ward he unfortunate smack plunged
forward into the trough of the foaming
waves and forever disappeared from
mortal view. Every one OF its Thirty
occupants was drowned, and on the
following morning their bodies were
found along the beach.
News of the disaster was as speedily
"a possible conveyed to the island.
Every wife in the place had, by the
dreadful event, been made wdow,and
out of thirty as many as twenty -eight
we're left without any means of fsuppoIt
These women are now receiving ASST
tAnce from the Norwegian government, =,
which is credited with the intention OF
settling number of single men on the
island as soon as arrangements can be
made. Uatil that is done, however,

stebbins' Burglary.

On Wednesday night the store oi
S. j. Stebbins & Co. was burglarized
of forty pocket knives, dozen razors,
strops, two reYolvers, and two bicy
cles, one of which was a second hand
wheel belonging to MIS-. Nicholay
Hasselo, which had been left at Steb-
bins to be repaired.
The robbery was committed some
time after daybreak. as Officer Ryan
informs us that he tried the doors
just before going to the 2:l8 tram.
and again a few minutes after four,
just as it was becoming daylight.
The robbery was not discovered
until the clerks arrived in the morn
ing and found window in the rear
of the store broken in and the goods
gone. Search was Immediately made
in the surrounding county for the
thieves and surrounding towns mott
fed, but no trace has been found of
the robbers as yet.

Blue Jay Tree Planters.

An old time Arizona woodchopper
says the blue jays have planted thou
sands Of the trees now growing all over
Arizona. He says these birds have a
habit of burying small seed in the
ground with their beaks and that they
frequent pinyon trees and bury large
numbers Of the small pine nuts in the
ground, many Of which sprout and
grow. He was walking through the
pines with an eastern gentleman a short
time ago when one of these birds flew
from a tree to the ground, stuck his
bill in the earth and quickly flew away.
When told what had happened, the
eastern man was skeptical, but the two
went to the spot and with knife blade
dug out sound pine nut from depth
Of about ~ inches. Thus it will be seen
that nature has plans Of her own for
forest perpetuation.

Late Hours In St. PetersburE,

Personally I know of no other town
where such late hours are the vogue
as in st. Petersburg. But your st.
Petersburger does not get up early in
the morning. At st. Petersburg the
music halls, which it is the fashionable
thing to attend after the theater-a
drive to them taking half an hour In a
swift sleigh-do not practically begin
till 12. Through the Neva at o'clock
in the morning you have to literally
push your way, and the favorite trains
for travellers are those starting about
s o'clock in the morning. These trains
save the Russian the trouble of getting
up early. He wishes his friends "good
night and drives down to the station
comfortably after supper without put
ting the house to any inconvenience

Br1ght,. Threat to Fits wife.

Two characteristic anecdotes of
John Bright are given in Sir Edward
RusselPs memoirs. which he has pub
ished under the title ''That Reminds
Me-"
Bright was supposed to be a total alb
stainer, but once when Edward Mall
was very nervous at the prospect Of
having to make an important speech in
the house, Bright said:
"Well, Mall, if I were you, I'd for
once go and have pint Of cham
pagne."
Mr.. Mail did as he was told, and the
result may be judged from the nara
tors comment that champagne on an
unaccustomed interior is not always a
curative or a tonic"
Bright rarely had any difference
with his wife," but occasionally they
were not at one about the children.
When they came to point of absolute
disagreement, he used to say:
''Now, 1 tell thee, If thou doesn't do
what I wish, I'll go straight to Mr..
Gladstone and ask him to make me
knight" to which the answer invar1-
ably was:
"Oh, anything rather than that"

FOUR TO FOURTEEN BUSHELS.
Returns from the Thrasller Fall Be-
low Expectations.

Additional returns have been com
ing in from farmers who have
thrashed during the past week,
although the week has not been
favorable to thrashing. It seems
that the wheat in the county is going
to yield four to fourteen bushels to
the acre.
II. w. Stone & Co., who had not
finished their thrashing at the time
of going to press last week, report
that the average yield Of their wheat
fields is nine bushels to the acre.
w. P. Fowler thrashed 502 bushels
of wheat from 81 acres. or an average
of ten bushels to the acre. Mr.. Fow-
Ter had a very fine looking field OF
wheat and fully expected an average
yield of twelve bushels. His barley
and oats each yielded fourteen
bushels.
Arthur Judd thrashed one hun
dred- acres of wheat, from which the
average yield was eight bushels to
the acre.
N.R.Spurr thrashed at his farm this
week, and procured three bushels of
wheat to the acre, ten of oats and
four and half of barley.
George Cogel thra7hed the first
part of the week, his different fields
running from eight to fourteen
bushels. The grade was No. 1, and
in fact most Of the wheat OF the
ounty will be No. l or good No. 2.
q The yields out in synnes are re-
ported to be very light, in many
cases not more than two or three
bushels to the acre. It is said that
in Framnas the wheat will yield ff-
teen bushels and oats forty.
In Rendsville and Donnelly, a very
heavy rain fell on Tuesday night,
and with the rain of yesterday, defn-
itely seals the fate of many fields in
that part of the county that have not
been cut.
Probably fifty per cent of the
wheat of the county is still in the
shock, and by the repeated rains it
has been shelled, bleached and
moulded. The rain of yesterday un
deubtedly injured great deal of
grain that had become dried and
