Once upon a time-to be more pre-
else, in the latter part of the eighteenth
century-thre lived worthy Connect
cut divine named the Rev. Samuel
Peters. Peters was a picturesque per-
sonage in his way, but his fame rests
entirely upon the fact that he wrote q
book This is one of the most mar
yelous works ever issued from the
press.
1t was Mr.. Peters, for example, who
first discovered and made known to
1le world that the founder of Yale
'bllege was a Rev. Thomas Peters,
Violently one of his own ancestors;
hat at Bellows Falls the water flowed
b fast that 1t became as hard as mar
Bile, making it possible to float crow
bar upon it; that two most marvellous
quadrupeds, the "whappermocker" and
the "cuba" (evdently the ancestors of
Ihe jabberwock) roamed wild in the
Connecticut forests, and 1t is also from
Mr.. Peters that we first learn of the
famous incursion of the Windham
frogs.
But it was in the early Jurisprudence
of Connecticut that this expatrate
made his most interesting discoveries.
He informed his English readers-and
most of them believe the story de-
youtly to this day-that the citizens
of the state were forbidden by law
to make mince pies. TO play on any in
strument of music except the drum,
trumpet or jewsharp. and that every
male must have his hat cut round, 'ac-
cording to cap" the model preferably
being the hard shell of pumpkin

Sable Sheep.

Sable sheep are not frequently seen
in England, but ebony lambs are plen-
tiful in the Australian commonwealth.
A colonial fiockmaster had quite a
number of black lambs, and he folded
them in a range by themselves. He
found that black lambs might not re-
cur In a flock in generations and then
recur suddenly. For example, where
black ram was used in a flock Of white
ewes the product was white lambs,
with few exceptions, and where sire
and dam were ebony colored the lambs
were mostly white. And so the Aus
tralians gave up the attempt to found
a sable flock. Where wool is dyed a
deep color sable wool absorbs less dye
and makes more durable color. Still
black fleece absorbs more sun rays than
white, and black sheep are more seri-
ously affected by heat.-London Live

Perilous Mail Route.

The strange happenings on the Be-
wick free delivery route still continue,
and the carriers are becoming much
worried.
Three of them who drive the wagon
from Berwick to various points in the
country round have had thrilling expe-
riences, and the last is the worst OF
the lot A couple of weeks ago large
catamount sprang from a tree ut Car
rier John Jacoby's horse and seized its
head. The horse shook the animal off
and dashed down the mountain 10 Ber-
wick. Jacoby having all he could do
to cling to the wagon and trust TO
luck.
A short time later Carrier John Tres
sler's horse stopped short and SHE'D
into the bush. Tressler saw an enor-
nous snake in the road, which he de-
scribed as being as thick as mans
leg. 1t disappeared in the brush, and
is supposed to be n python which es-
caped from a circus at Berwick year
ago.

There is a tale to the effect that while
Hon. Thomas Bracket Reed welded
the gavel a gentleman took his little
boy to the gallery of the house of repre-
sentativcs. Looking down upon the
more numerous branch of the federal
legislature the child asked, "Father,
who is that large man sitting In the
pulpit with mallet In his hand?"
"He, my son." replied the fond par
ent, sis the house of representatives"
"And who are those other men sitting
in semicircies around him?" inquired
the tiny chap.

familias. - Champ Clark in Leslie's

Apprehension of being mobbed by the
'profane vulgar" amounted, as is well
known, almost to monomania with the
poet Tennyson. Many good stories are
told in illustration of this weakness OF
his. One of the best of them will per-
haps bear repetition.
Lord Tennyson was taking a country
walk with friend, when a fellow
creature was espled in the distance.
"We must turn back" said the poet.
"That fellow means to waylay US"
His companion persuaded him. how
ever, to continue on their path. They
caught up to the enemy and passed
him. He took no notice of them what
ever. "What an extraordinary thing"
cried the irate poet. "The fellow seems
to have no idea who | ami"

There is no end of evidence to be had

people that it is splitting hairs in sew
eral sections to say the law is uncon-
stitutional because Of the neglect OF
a clerk. The United States supreme
