Tortoises Climb for Grapes.

Tortoises are known to be able to
live for a long time without food. 1t
was also believed hitherto that they
were rigid teetotalers. This belief,
however, has been rudely dispelled by
the discovery that they are veg fond
of grapes. The proprietor of vine
yard in Algiers had noticed for some
time serious depredations golng On in
his plantation. The Waterman he had
engaged reported that mysterious
noises were heard in the place at
night, and consequently refused to
stop any longer on the spot. But the
master determined to inquire into the
matter for himself, and, much to his
surprise, he found large number OF
tortoises climbing up the vines with
an alertness of which tortoises are or
dinarily thought to be incapable, and
making the most of the good t ags
which the gods had provide -. lem.

Ex-Gov. Paris of Maine Has Musket
With Unique Record.

WIFI q unique ncCOTu.
In the old home Of ex-Gov Albion
Keith Paris at Paris Hill, Me-, are
many curios picked up by members OF
this representative family in all quar-,
tiers of the globe. But the most highly
priced relic is flintlock musket that
did service through the revolution and
is to-day in a good state of preserva-
ton.
1t has been in the possession OF the
Paris family for over 125 years, and
has been fired on every independence
day. 1t was first notably discharge
when the declaration of independence
was signed.
Every July 4th since that memoi
has observed this patriotic custom
and saluted the anniversary OF the
country's birth by loading the antique
arm and firing it just at dawn.
The old home on Paris Hill Is now
occupied by Nine. Columbia Paris
and her daughter On one occasion

bers of the family happened to be
away from home on July 4. son

Ex-Gov. Paris received = n'nsket
from his father, Samuel ''arris, who
was an officer during the revolution
The musket was used on the British
at Bunker Hill and carried all through
