RELICS OF CHAUcER.

uahIe.


From The London Chronicle:
The quincentenary of Chaucer's death
falls on the 18th of this month, if we are
to believe his tombstone in Westminster
Abbey. 1t is doubtful if tombstones al
ways tell the truth but here there Is
really no other evidence, and so the date
is accepted. We are thus on the eve of
very interesting celebra ton, and where
could it be more fifty observed than at
the British museum.
Go to the kings library and you will
find that all the Chaucer memorials
which the museum possesses have been
specially arranged in half a dozen cases.
To wander round these, looking at the
manuscripts in their blue, red and gold,
or at the earliest Chaucer editions print
ed from type, would, in any circum-
stances, be an hour well spent; and in
our case the journey was made under
the escort of an official of the museum,
learned in all that relates to Chaucer
As everybody cannot be so favored. the
obvious thing is to pass the information

A sToRK THAT FIGURES.
West Virginia Family Shows Ten
dency Toward Arithmetic.


Chicago Record: t+I
Down in West Virginia the other day
1 learned of an astonishing domestic
incident which is worthy the attention of
biologists and believers in the doctrine
of heredtty. About g. year sago Dorothy
and Parthenia Freeman, twin sisters liy-
ing in Breeder, a mining village near
Huntington, We're married to Walter J.
and Howard e. Swanson twin brothers,
engaged in the lumber trade. The cere-
mony took place inatl1e village church
The double wedding was attended by the
entire population for miles around, and
was widely commented upon in the news
papers because of the peculiar circum-
stances. 1t is not often that twins marry
twins.
On Oct. 16 last, at up. M, Mrs. Walter
]. Swanson gave birth to three babies,
all girls, weighing together twenty-seven
pounds. Half an hour later her sister,
Mrs. Howard E. Swanson, in the same
house, gave birth to three boys, whose
combined weight was thirty pounds. Both
the mothers and the entire team of
babies are as we'll as can be expected
under the circumstances
Mr.. Swanson, the father of the girls,
is Democrat, and has shown his devo-
ton to his candidate for president by
naming them Willie, Jennie and Bryanie,
while his. brother and brother-in-law is
a staneh Republican, and has named
his three boys Hanna, Mckinley and
Roosevelt. A. B. White, the Republican
candidate for governor of West Virginia,
and Judge John H. Holt, the Democratic
candidate held a joint debate at Breeder
two days after the six little ones came
into the world and acted as godfatf1ers
at the christening, Mr. White standing
sponsor for the three Republican boys
and Judge Holt for the three Democratic
girls, although the Judge declared that
it must not be taken as a precedent or as
evidence that he isIin favor of trusts.
Judge Holt, who sfs the authority for
this story, says that fits just the ordin-
airy luck of the Dkmoeratic party in
West Virginia. whose 4najority is being
rapidly cut down by immigration, He
says that nearly every5xoter that comes
into the state nowa6ayazis Republican.

REPLY FROM RUSSIA.
AngIO-Ger Agreement Meets the
Cars Approval.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 6.-The text
of the Russian reply to the Anglo-Ger-
man agreement note is published.
The first point, providing for open ports
on the rivers of the Chinese Literal, is
faYorably received, as 1t does not alter
existing treaties.
The second point is all the more in har-
mony with Russia's intentions, as the
integrity of the Celestial empire is the
fundamental principle of Russian policy.
As regard the possibility of violation
of this principle, in the third article, Rus
STA refers to her note Of May &c, and re-
peats her declaration that such violation
would compel Russia to modify, as cir
cumstances might require, the attitude
she has taken.

SHIP THa BE ST.

II is impossible to estimate the Ices
sustained by growers through the per
nicious practice of shipping inferior
berries to market, but no one can deny
chat it must be enormous. The Gull
berries seldom reaIiz9 much more than
cost, and even while they mey bring
an apparent profit, yet the loadir g
down of markets with inferior fruit
must have the effect of depressing the
price OF prime stock, which otherwise
would have sold at satisfactory figures.
Good berries have only one oonnpeti-
tor, and that is the culls. Fancy stock

value when an over supply of poor Der
ries is disposed of at any old price that

PITT COUNTY A soCIAT1oN.

Correspondence Of the Progressive Farmer.
Put County Tobacco Go Rers' Asso
cation held a largely. attended and
very enthusiastic meeting few days
ago, in Greenville.
J. J Laughinghouse, President of
the County Tobacco Growers Ass7cia'
Eion, called the meeting to order and
made a splendid speech. Secretary
a J Moye read minutes Of last To
oacco Growers meeting.
The roll OF townships was then called
and ell were found represented.
The first work Of the meeting after
organ zing was to appoint committee
on resolutions, which consisted OF J.
8 Harris, J)hn Flanagan, Ct. 7. Tyson
and /. q. Little.
The first resolution reported reads as
follows:
"ResoIued, That we, the farmers Of
PuE county, do not believe that the
farmers agricultural interests of our
State receive due recognition in our
Safe Government and law making
overs regar dless Of which parties
are in control of State eff4iTs. As a
partial illustration of this we invite at
renclon to the personnel of the Peni
tentiary B)ard which has control of
the State farms, and also the Board of
Agriculture, bo h Of which boards
should be composed exclusively OF
farmers"
THIS was killed because, forsooth, it
looked like ''going into politicsr'
Nevertheless, your correspondent
would like to commend it to Pro
gressive Farmer readers,
The folio Ring resolutions were then
read and adopted. The meeting asked
that they be r f3rred to the committee
on plan of action appointed by the last
State meeting with the request that
they be embodied with the Jordan
plan, These resolutions are as follows:
RESOLVED, That the most practical
and feasible plan Of thwarting the
methods of the trust is the encourage
ment and patronage of inc dependent to
bacco factories
That we pledge ourselves to use
all honorable and legal means to eG-
courage the use of goo5s manufactured
by independent factories.
8. That the President appoint a com
mitsee of two in each township TO con
fer with the merchants Of their re
spective townships and take the names
of 6 IL merchants who are willing, and
those who are not willing, to CO oper-
ate with ua in this struggls for COM
mon Justice against tha power OF
Iegalize1 ty ranny, and report them to
the President, who will publish them
10 any of the State papers that he may
deem proper, and that the merchants
