Pecan Hunts In Kentucky.

In the Kentucky bottom lands along the lower Ohio and its tributaries the apple orchards and sugar bush" are things of tradition, says the Indianap- oils News. Their places have been talk. en by the pecan, which yields much greater revenue. The pecan orchard Is usually distributed throughout one of those immense cornfelds of several hundred acres that formed the ante bellum plantations. Here they are en- riched by constant cultivation as well as by the fertilizer from the overflow of the Ohio that occurs always once and frequently oftener season. The pecan season opens special festivities Society in the neighboring towns and cities takes 1t up most enthusiastically with pecan "tours," picnics, dinners-in truth, all varieties of fetes that such in- gcnuity can originate. The right to gather the nuts is purchased and pro fessional climber hired. A woods din ner is the most pleasing feature of the occasion-bacon, chicken, broiled on spit before fragrant fire; Irish pota. toes and the real, old fashioned red sweets, onions baked in crater of hot coals kimmel rye bread, roasted cheese, gingerbread and crabapple cider from the farmhouse.

WRESTLING WITH RUSSIAN.
The Traveller Wanted . Towel and
 Finally Got It.

A. H. Savage Landor, in his book of travel, Across Coveted Lands," re- lates an amh.lng railway incident that occurred in Russia while he was en route to Persia.
 "Unable to get at my towels packed In my registered baggage and ignorant of the Russian language" he says, "I Inquired of polyglot fellow passenger what was the Russian word for towel. SO that could ask the guard for one 'Palatiensi,' said he, and I repeated 'palatiensi, palatiensi, palatiensi,' so as to impress the word well upon my memory. Having enjoyed good wash and shampoo and dripping all over with water, I rang for the guard, and, sure enough, when { man came could not recollect the word. At last 1t dawned upon me that 1t was 'palatin- ski and 'palatienski' asked of the guard. To my surprise the guard smiled graciously, and, putting on a modest air, replied, 'Palatinski niet paruski' CT do not speak Latin, l speak only Russian). and the more repeat ed 'palatinski,' putting the infection now on one syllable, then on the other, to make him understand, the more flat tered the man seemed to be, and mod esuy gave the same answer.
 '"This was incomprehensible to me un- til my polyglot fellow passenger came to my assistance. Do you know what you are asking the guard| he said in convulsions of laughter. Yes, I am asking for palatinski-a towel.' No, you are notv and he positively went into mysteries. Palatinski means "Do you speak Latin?" How can you ex- pect Russian railway guard to speak Latin? Look how incensed the poor man is at being mistaken for Latin scholar! Ask him for palatiensi, and he will run for towel.'
 'The man did run on the magic word being pronounced and duly returned with nice clean palatiensi. which, however. was of little use to me. for I had by this time got dry by the natural processes of dripping evaporation"

Three Curious Words.

Filibuster. freebooter and buccaneer are words curiously interrelated. The French and the English sea adventur- CTS once made common cause against Spanish settlements in the new world, and all three of these words came in time to describe the rude sea soldiers who despoiled the Spanish main and the towns upon the coasts of the Span. sh possessions. Filibuster Is said to be the result of an attempt to make French word of freebooter, and the English borrowed it back from the French because it sounded less frankly brutal than the English word.
 Buccaneer was originally French in form, and 1t meant at first one who hunted the boucan or wild cattle and hogs of the West Indies; then one who made jerked meat of their flesh, and finally, because this meat was used to provision the ships of the sea rovers, a dlibuster or freebooter.

First Love.

People who marry while very young nre apt to find our when it is too late that they have made the greatest mis- take in their lives and that, though It may seem very sweet to marry "the first and only love" this same first love" is the very last person in the world that they oight to have married.
 Some. indeed. may advise couples to marry before they are out of their teens and settle down b fore the distractions of the world caa attempt to shake their allegiance to each other. but this set ting down too often proves to be a mere temporary phase and is followed by an unsettled condition that lasts for the rest of their unhappy lives.

John Good was very seriously in
jured one morning last week at the
shop of the Wallingford Manufacture
ing company. He went downstairs, 1t
is supposed, for the purpose of oiling
the machinery underneath the first
floor of the building. Almost immed-'
lately the men noticed something
wrong with the machinery, went below
and found the young man lying on the
floor. His overalls caught in the
shaft, with which he made two revolu-
tions, and was then dropped, having
the clothing torn from the upper part
of the body. When found there were
no cuts or blood to be seen, but his
limbs were completely paralyzed and
his back severely bruised and spine
was badly injured. Good died in the
hospital Sunday.

the near future it is more than prob
able that large number Of men will
be employed. The Chair company has
felt the need of larger quarters for
some time past and the new acquisi-
tion will enable them to turn out
much larger quantity of orders than
heretofore. For the present the fac
tory in Wilmington will make only
certain parts of a chair, and they will
be finished at the Readsboro shop;
but in the future the chairs will no
doubt be completed in the Wilmington
factory.
