SAILORS PECULIAR MEAL.

sThe strangest meal I ever ate," said sailor," was dished up to me in the Yellow sea nine years ago. This meal consisted of an ostrich egg and a Japanese oyster.
 ssTherc was nine of us fell to, and the egg and the oyster made enough for all The egg was hard boiled. Cookie had shelled it. and it came on looking fine, all white and glistening, with a tart yellow sauce i'll the bottom of the dish. We sliced it down with a knife, the same as you would slice a turkey. It wasn't bad-a little eggy. that's all.
 "The Japanese oyster was nearly two feet long, Jap oysters is, you know, the biggest i'll the world. 1t was served raw and when the boat swain stuck his long carvin' knife in it, it shivered all over. and it seemed to me kind of low groan escaped it. It tasted fine.-There was enough left for n stew."- =-From the Seattle Post Intelligencer. &x T

SANDL AND RETIRED.
Missed But Two Drills During LasI
 Thirteen Years.

William Fl. SandIand, first lieutene ant of Go A, one of the most popular military men in the city, has been placed on the retired list of officers of the state of Connecticut at his owil request. He made application on July Is and it was granted yesterday A member of a military company who has been an officer for three years may be placed on the retired list, which makes him subject to calls for duty whenever, in the opinion of the commander in chief, his services arc required.
 Sandland's record as a member of Go A is the very best. During the 13 years in which he has belonged to the National guard, he has only missed two drills and on both occa sions sickness was the cause. This is a remarkable record, equalied by few men. He has been commissioned officer for eleven years. He joined Co A October 27, 1891, was appointed corporal November 1, 1892, commis- stoned second lieutenant March 15. 1893, first lieutenant December 20, 1889. He won the gold medal first prize for competitive drill among the officers ill May, 1892, and holds thir- teen EQdTDSQOOIeI UdIS dWdTQ6u. Ot the state for rife shooting. He also holds seven first class marksmen's bars for revolver shooting, which is sne more than any other Waterbury officer holds. He has been an excel- lent officer !, one of unquest1oned abil ity, and is held in high esteem by his superior and fellow officers and the men under him
 He has always taken an active part in athletics and was manager for several years of Co As crack football and basketball teams.
 He was secretary of Go A for three years and treasurer for eight years. He has been chairman of the commit tees which arranged the most success ful dances given by his company. He was interlocutor at the minstrel per formance which was given by Go A at Polls theater several years ago.
 He was not only popular with the members of Go A, but also with the officers and privates of Co G and oth- CT companies in the state.

In earlier days 1t was customary to put Nout, at taverns, bush, as sign that wine was sold there In those days the country was but thinly settled and there was few newspapers to ad- vertise in, so the people depended on each other to hear the news and to pass on the merits of their purchases. Now adays the people read the newspapers and look. there, not only to find the passing events, but also to find articles they are in need of, advertised.
