Aged Pedestrians.

Interest in pedestrianism has been
greatly stimulated among all classes
in this section of the state, says a dis
patch from Salem, Mass, by the re-
cent contest of James Hennessey and
Edward S. Rand, both of Salem, who
have each lived more than three score
and ten years. Both are widowers and
each follows the occupation of ped
ding small articles for livelihood.
One evening Rand and Hennessey
took part in a one-mile contest, the
latter covering the distance in eight
minutes, which is considered remark
able for a man of his age. The track
measured "a laps to the mile, and
both men went over the circuit like
young athletes.
James Hennessey was born in Kill
kenny, Ireland, Aug. 10, 1881, and
came to this country when a young
man. He is feet tx inches tall and
weighs $50 pounds, which is % pounds
less than he weighed a decade ago.
He has been interested in athletics for
more than half a century and when 80
years old could easily leap over an
obstacle 5 feet z inches high. He was
very proficient for many years in
hurting and a marvel at wrestling. He
is still very active and moves about
with an elastic step.
Edward S. Rand was born in Salem
seventy years ago, and has always
been interested in athletic sports. For
many years he was engaged in the
foundry business in New Hampshire.
OF late years he has been a conspic-
uous figure about the city with his
basket of edibles, which he disposes Of
in the shoe factories.

The Great Bed of Ware.

When Elihu Burritt, the learned
American blacksmith, went on his
walking tour from London to the
Lands End, he turned aside to see the
Great Bed of Ware, and might have
slept in it, but didn't.
This enormous bed is ten feet nine
inches square and seven feet six inches
high. 1t is made of Spanish oak, ele-
gantly carved, and is a wonderful spe-
cimen of antique furniture that for
three centuries has been the pride and
glory of the Saracen's Head at Ware.
The top is solid canopy of beauti-
fully carved wood, made in one piece.
At the base of each footpost are boxes.
It was the custom in old times for a
newly arrived guest who had never
seen it before to drink a toast to the
bed in a can of beer. Twelve persons
have slept in it at one time, and it is
asserted in the old chronicle that TWEEN
ty did SO at a pinch.

Natures Wise Provision.

Plants travel to astonishing dis
tances. The seeds stock to this OF
that article and are carried by ships
and by those that go down to the sea
in ships, from one end of the world
to the other. Sir Joseph Hooker re
lates a striking instance of this seed
carrying, which is perpetually going
on. ION one OCCASION" he says, land
ing on small uninhabited island near
ly at the antipodes, the first evidence
1 met with of its having been pre-.
viously visited by man was the Eng
fish chickweed, and this ! traced to E
mound that marked the grave of
British sailor, and that was covered
with the plant, doubtless the offspring
of seed that had adhered to the spade
or mattock with which the grave had
been dug"

Amateur Photograpny.


Let others sing of joys of song,
The pleasures that the canvas yields.
The music of the woodland throng.
The dear delight of streams and fields.
The joys of love and lovers pain,
These mar not my biography,
For have touched life's deepest gain
In amateur photography.
For me the hyposulphites bloom,
The golden chloride brightly CLEANS,
And in the sacred darkened room
The sodium crystals star my dreams;
Developers my spirit bless,
My porcelain dishes my pride;
I am newborn since 1 possess
Ammonium sulphocyanide.
1 photograph with joyous zeal,
And then implore my flmy prize
In rosy darkness to reveal
Its charming secrets to my eyes;
And then-oh, joy desired and dear!-
The film responds as implores
see the pictured face appear
And wonder who l meant it for!
o you with sorrow-laden heart,
Sick of your many changing cults,
No other craft, other art,
Yields such astonishing results.
weary wording, empty soul,
So long by doubts and fears distressed,
Leave love and fame to fate's control,
And buy a kodak and be blest.

Fortified Cat in Tree.

While out hunting the other day al
Urbana, O., Charles Keener and
Charles Maggie found a petrified cat
buried in the trunk of a decayed tree
The cat had probably crawIed into
the tree seeking place of refuge and
found itself unable to get out. 1t was
perfectly formed and had all the ap
pearance of creation of the paleozoic
period The surface is perfectly
smooth, having something of the ap
pearance of leather. The only evi
dence to show that it ever had hair
was the whiskers, which were as brit
tie rs icicles.
