a Queer Town,

A communication postmarked Aque
tong, Pa. reached the nosegay editor
yesterday, containing a rather curious
bit of information. 1t is in reference
to a town in Bucks County which con-
sists of twenty-six houses, with a
population of fifty. There are, in the
first place, twelve old maids. There
were fifteen, but three died during the
past year. The total number Of
widows is seven, and there are six
single men among the householders,
three being bachelors and three wild
overs. -Four houses are unoccupied
and five are tenanted by married cou-
pies with children. The correspond
ent doesn't name the town, and while
the communication bears the post
mark Of Aquetong, it is dated Lahas-
ka, so the intelligent reader can pay
his money and take his choice. The
writer of the letters adds, naively:
IF you know of any town to equal
this I would be pleased to read about
it," Here's a chance for residents of
queer communities to spread them
selves.-Philadelp Record.

Where the Mississippi Water Goes.
Right at this stage of the game the
big river is more powerful than. the
sea, and is making the great Gulf Of
Mexico take a back seat. Very few
people will believe it save those who
are familiar with such things, but &C.
cording to the records of the river en-
gineers the Gulf waters are dominated
by those of the Mississippi River right
now.
The question has often been asked
by persons Of an inquiring turn of
mind, How far out into the Gulf does
the water of the Mississippi go? Ac-
cording to the records, one can at food
tide in the river drink fresh water
from the sea fifteen miles beyond the
mouth. This seems strange, perhaps.
but it is fact When the men were
at work on the great Eads jetties It
was common to see a man dip up hat
full Of water from the sea and drink
with relish. The force of the current
and the volume offit carries the fresh
water far into the Gulf, and the river
water being so much lighter than that
of the Gulf, it remains on the surface
for a long time. The discoloration is
noticeable for miles out to sea, and
the demarcation is as plain as that Of
the Gulf Stream.-Memphis Scimitar.

The Price of Glory.

The nation which worships Mars
must go deep into its pocketbook to
meet the exactions of the god OF war.
This year the British taxpayer must
provide S172,OOO,OO0 for the support Of
his army and about $1S00O0,OOO for
the maintenance of his navy and the
construction of new warships. That
is to say, every man, woman, and
child in the United Kingdom must
contribute about $3.50 to keep John
Bull in business as a world Power.
This is Mars bill with the empire on
a peace basis. There is no probability
that it will b9 less in the years to

He Tested Their ViqIIance.

The other night Second Warden r.
A. Mcpherson climbed the penitenti-
airy wall at Salem, Ore, to test the
vigilance of the guards. McPherson's
feat was performed at the risk Of his
life. for had he been discovered he
would probably have been shot. He
placed a ladder against the exterior
of the wall, climbed up, lowered his
ladder into the Jail yard and descend
ed. He went through the prison
shops, and as a final touch carried
away the coat and hat Of one Of the
guards. It was from this Jail that the
famous Tracy escaped last summer
and it is supposed that the rifle with
which he fought his way out was taken
into the prison over the yard fence

Married a Century AGO.

At Banjaluka, in Bosnia, lives a
man born so long ago that his birth
day has been forgotten, but in the year
1902 he was married and was, as his
certificate proves, over twenty years
of his age. He is supposed to be at
least 122 years old. His father, he
says, died at eighty and his mother at
125. The old man is still active. pos
sesses an unimp%red set Of teeth and
has smoked for the last hundred
years, but only chilbouque. Cigar
cites he considers harmful and refuses
to accept them.

That the seasons this year have been
unusual, and we might say unnatural, has
been demonstrated by circumstance
which has been brought to our no ice.
Mrs. w. l. Painter has been recently
gathering from her strawberry bed a Sec
ond crop of delicious berries. On last Mon
Jay We were shown a quart of fine berries
she had sent to COL Anderson. They
were handsome, perfectly matured fruit,
and Of as excellent flavor as they would
have been in the Spring or Summer time.

that appeal to the admiration of the
lovers of nature. In the center of each
flower could be seen the face of a
sweet voiced virgin. The unique cur.
