HOSTS IN GRAY.
Confederate Reunion at Louis.
vile Largely Attended,
Old Veterans Present From All
Over The United
States.

Louisville, May 3O.-The tenth
annual reunion of the United Con-
federate Veterans began to-day at
noon in the splendid new hall erect
ed for this occasion by the people Of
Louisville. The ex-Confederates
and the other visitors have found
Louisville swathed with bunting,
the stars and bars of the Confeder-
acy predominating. The building
in the business part of the city that
is not gaily bedecked is so seldom
seen that it lis hardly noticed, so
generally have the business struct-
Vres been decorated. Besides pro-
yiding hall especially for the use
of the Confederates, Louisville has
appointed committees of her most
prominent citizens to see to the
comfort of the visitors, and so far
the work has been splendidly done.
Tomorrow proceedings of the re-
union will be merely opening exer-
cises. The only real business that
will be transacted will be the APP
pointment of committees on creden-
tials and resolutions. Each divIs-
ion commander will appoint one
members of each of these committees
and the real business of the reunion
will be inaugurated Thursday
morning when these committees
make their report.

Relic Of the Days of the pretender.

A little south of the c0unty-house
at Burlington stood 100 years ago
small Indian village. which is marked
on the old maps of Northern Pennsyl-
vania as Oschanu. Many interesting
relies of q bygone civilization have
been found in the grounds where this
Indian village was, near the country
house. When the excavations were
made for the foundations of the coun-
ty-hous., among the relics found were
a number of coins that bore different
dates IN to near the advent Of the
white man in Bradford County. Sew
eral of these coins We're presented to
the Spaulding Museum at Athens.
Two coins belonging to Superintend-
ent II. W. Putnam are Of bronze, one
an English halfpenny Of the reign of
King George l., and the last a larger
piece, which is very singular in its
makeup and history. On one side it
bears an Irish harp, with crown
above it. On the reverse side is
room containing n table with money
upon it. A hand is extended toward
the table, as If to take the coins. An
armed man with a drawn sword
threatens the hand, and above in an
are of the circle are the words:
Touch not, says Kildare" The
piece be..rs the date OF 1745, which
marks the year when the young pre-
tender, Charles Edward, was trying

The friendships into which women
drift during a summer in the noun
tains or when idling about Europe are
sometimes not mere erhemera, but
have the permanence of the house built
upon the rock. Your friend must to
some extent at least sympathize With
you in pursuits and aims. Your point
of view and hers must not be alien.
You may disagree in opinion, nut in
sentiment you must meet or you can
not coalesce in friendly relationship.
For friends must neither be like ivory

thistles, bristling with needle-thrusting

Rats For philadelphia.

The spectacle of mangled rats and
mice lying along the trolley tracks
throughout the city has occasiOned
lately considerable surprise. This
surprise has not been due to the spec
tacle itself, for 1t is an annual one,
but to the lateness of its appearance
this year. Every year, in the autumn,
mangled rats and mice that the cars
have run down, and other live ones
skulklng about, are TO be seen on the
streets OF Philadelphia. They are on
their return to cover after summer
spent in the grain fields of the coun-
try; they are fleeing from the coming
winter cold back to the houses which
they had deserted in the spring.
Usually they make this migration in
the beginning Of October This year,
however. the long-continued warmth,
which has kept the fields green,
caused violets to grow and trees to
bud has much delayed the rodents
return to town. They are coming in
in hosts now, though, and 1t is while
they are looking for houses to live in
that the trolleys run them down

The period known to the Chinese as
the "highest antiquity" is stated in
their annals to be 1852 B. c. 1t is
interesting in this connection to follow
DR.. William Hales's researches. He
claims, in his work on the Analysis
of Chronology" the creation to have
been 5411 years before the Advent and
the Deluge 1855 years before IT, and
in his opinion the beginning of Chinese
ancient history was 1903 years after the
deluge, forty-seven before the death
of Noah, and 300 years previous to
the confusion Of tongues.

and the road that skirts the sea.
Now, one day, with no set purpose

went into the country. The road lies

A woman in Durham, on getting up
one morning, heard most peculiar
noise In the pantry. She was aston
ished to find that snake had its head
and part of it's body through the han
die of a china jug. Both sides Of the
snake-that is, the portion on each
side of the handle-were bulging out.
Then she discerned what had hap
pened. Some eggs had been lying on
the shelf, and the snake. after hav-
ing swallowed one, had crawled partly
through the handle of the jug-that is,
rs far as the swallowed egg would al
low-in order to get another, which II
had also swallowed. Naturally enough
il could not then so either forward OF

woman was just going to call her hus-
band, when the reptile gave desper-
ate wiggle, and in doing so fell on the
floor with a bang, handle and all. But
the fall broke both the eggs in its
