BENEDICT ARNOLD RELIC FOUND.
A Mute But Eloquent Reminder of the
Well-Known Traitor.

Mute But Eloquent Reminder of the
Well-Known Traitor.
Those of us interested in early Amer
lean history, whether absorbed at
school or acquired by maturer read
ing, recall Benedict Arnold, his bril-
liancy and treason, perhaps more vivid
ly than almost any prominent. figure
of the. Revolution, says the Lewiston
Journal.
The students of those times recall
that Washington sent him with 11O0
soldiers on the Inflated expedition to
Quebec in ..1775 by the, way of the Ken
nebec River. through the forests of
Maine. Two miles below Gardiner, in
Colburn,s' yard; his command halted
long enough to construct 200 bateaux
with which ne proposed to transport
troops and supplies through the North
ern waters. -.
A week ago ]. Rafter and, Abbot
Lord, Gardiner business men that fish
the river for sport, brought up in their
great sturgeon net, directly opposite
where the bateaux were built, an an
Choir, or grapnel, which is. undoubtedly
a genuine Arnold relic. ), The. stalk is
some four feet long and carries FIVE
curved arms welded to- its base. 1T
was evidently fashioned of wrought
iron, over an anvil.
These anchors were thrown out
ahead of the bateaux, by which means
they were pulled through rapids and
swift water: For 129 years the anchor
remained in the waters of the Kenne-
bee, to now. come to light, a mute but
eloquent reminder of the man who be-
trayed his country. ~

ADMIRAL'S WORDS CARRY WEIGHT.
DANGER IN A wATERsPouT.
Passed Close to Ocean Liner, Almost
CAUSING a Panic.

Causing a Panic.
Such passengers of the Koenigin
Luise as had never seen a. waterspout
had an opportunity of looking one
over, as that vessel was nearing port,
and looking 1t over at such close
range as to cause many to shrink back
In alright
1t was on Monday noon and on the
outer edge of the Gulf Stream when
the spout was first discovered. 1t
was about five miles distant and broad
off the starboard bow. The word went
round that a waterspout was in sight,
and the 500 passengers who were pre-
pairing for luncheon hurried on deck
to see. The captain, with his chief
officer, Joined the fourth officer, who
was keeping watch on the bridge, and
narrowly watching the swirling mass,
calculated that it would clear the ves-
sci and that it would not be necessary
to alter her course in order to avoid it.
The spout rapidly drew near, and
with base bubbfing and frothing went
swirling by short so feet under the
stern. making as it passed loud hiss
! ing, which was described like that of
escaping steam.
Just then rain squat came by, and
after it passed the spout was seen
estern, dim and shadowy. like a long
waving ribbon suspended from the
clouds.
Captain Volger estimated. the pyra-
nlo-shaped base to be 20 feet in diam
eter and the body about feet in
thickness.-New York Herald.

thought maybe this might have some
thing to do with my trouble, so
shifted to tea for awhile, but was not
better, if anything, worse.
at that time I had baby four
months old that we had to feed Oh the
bottle, until an old lady friend told
me to try Postum Food Coffee. Three
months ago l commenced using Post
UNI, leaving off the tea and coffee, and
not only have my headaches and ner-
vous troubles entirely disappeared, but
since then I have been giving plenty
OF nurse for my baby and have
large, healthy child now.
II have no desire TO drink anything
but Postum and know 1t has benefited
my children, and / hope all who have
children will try Postum and find out
for themselves what a really wonder

Hog. 81 Days in a Well.

Howard G. Garrison, a prominent
farmer of this county, was in town
recently and had remarkable Incl
dent to relate. On the night of the
18th of June ne lost a fine 800 pound
hog. He searched high and low, but
could not find trace of the animal.
He finally gave up the hunt, coup
ling the disappearance ofthe hog with
some emancipation day barbecue.
Some one had occasion to look in an
old dry well, ten or twelve deep and
100 or 200 yards from his house. At
the bottom he discovered the hog, ap-
parently unhurt. 1t had been in the
well thirty-two days without food or
water.
Mr.. Garrison threw down an ear OF
corn, but the hog would not. eat. He
then lowered a bucket OF milk and
bran mixture, which proved to be
more to his hogship's taste. Mr.. Gar
rison. has decided TO feed the hog
down in the well for. a day or two.
and then raise it out by filing in the
well.-Belton Correspondence Calves.

American Tourist Calls Attention 10
Railway Gang at Prayer.
I have often remarked the fervor
Of the Mohammedans. says Jerome
Hart In tho .Argonaut. Their strict
attention to their religious rites In
unique among denominations, SO fan
as my observation goes, for when the
hour Of prayer comes, whether they
find themselves In public or not, they

mire a man who has the courage OF
his convictions, religious as well az
political. and the unaffected devotion
Of the Mohammedans has always i'm
pressed me.
On the outskirts of Cairo one day
we saw row of workmen on the
railway lining up just as the muez-
zin's call to prayers rang out from
an adjacent mosque.
Look" cried l. There is another
instance of Moslems' devotion to their
religious rites
How so?" was asked. What do
you mean? What are they standing
in row for?'
ITO pray" | replied, sententiously
Don't you see they are facing toward
Mecca"
Now they were all standing in a
row. AS | spoke-as IL at given
signal-they all went down.
~See!" / cried. They are prostrat-
ing themselves. In moment you will
see them begin to bow toward the sa-
cred city and go through all the elab-
crate forms of Mohammeoan prayer.
All. is it not interesting to see a
group of ordinary workmen interrupt
their toll in the middle of the day
and turn to their religion?"
We were all much impressed. was
particularly 80.
But as we gazed on them, with re-
fex religious interest, the row OF men
arose. With a unanimous grunt they
rose, bearing on their shoulders q
long steel beam, which they proceed
ed to. walk away with down the rail-
way track.
An awkward silence followed. / i'm
agined / heard faint snickering, but
I affected not to observe 1t. There are
moments when 1t is just as well not to
Bio too observing.

BATHING IN ENGLAND.
Objections to Costumes Worn Where

Objections to Costumes Worn Where
Men and Women Take Dips.
Mrs. Grundy. descending upon Bex-
hill, has enlisted the services of the
corporation in a crusade against the
use Of improper" bathing costumes.
says London Mail.
Mixed bathing has always been the
custom at this popular watering
place, which is more continental than
mosG- English seaside places. This
week, however, there have been COM
plants from a colonel as to mixed
bathing and a protest from the prin-
cipal of ladies' school regarding the
bathing costumes worn. The appear
ance among the school pupils of a
man wearing bathing slips" or ordin-
airy bathing drawers, generally used
by gentlemen ct the seaside seems
to have caused alarm, at any rate to
the principal, and request has gone
forth to the bathing machine pro-
prietors and the owners of beach
cabins that university costume, ex-
tending from the neck nearly TO the
knees, be used. No regulations have
yet been made by seaside authori-
ties az to the color or material Of
which the costumes worn by lady
bathers are made, although at Herne
Bay, it is said, white costumes are
objected to. A few fair bathers have
appeared at Morecambs this summer
in white PONCE silk, which, although
perhaps an unusual costume, Is evil
IDENTIFY much more comfortable than
thick, heavy dark blue serge. At
Clacton some time ago a protest was
made and allowed against a fur cos
tune for which the material seemed
to have run short. A morning or two
ago, about 10 O'Clock, some young
ladies undressed on the beach, and
caused mild sensation. The police
interferred after they had dressed,
and told them that in England ladies
were only allowed to battle from ma
chimes. They seemed surprised.
