BRET HARTE AS A HUNTER.
The Reassuring Message He Receiv-
ed After an Accident.

The Reassuring Message He Receiv-
ed After an Accident.
During the time he acted as United
States consul in Glasgow Bret Harte
occasionally INDUCED in days sport
with the gun, and it was during one OF
his shooting excursions that the famous
American author met with an accident
which might have disfgured him for
the remainder of his life, his face be-
ing badly cut through the recoil of an
overloaded gun. Fortunately the doc
tors skill prevented him from being
permanently marked.
Writing about the occurrence to his
friend, T. Edgar Pemberton (who
quotes the letter in his Tribute to Bret
Harte'), the novelist concludes his let
ter by telling Of an amusing effort
which was made to console him on &C
count Of the accident.
when the surgeon was stitching me
together" he wrote, 1.-The son Of the
house, boy of twelve, came timidly
to the door of my room:
""Tell Mr.. Bret Harte it's all right,
he said. He killed the hare"

THE NAME AMERICA.

lambs. So.

When 1t Was First Proposed For the
Newly Found Continent.
The name of America for the newly
discovered continent was first proposed
in the little volume put forth at st. Die,
in the Vosges, in the year 1907 by
WaldZeemuller, better known by the
HelleniZed form of his name, Hyla-
comylus. Three or four editions Of this
treatise were published at St. Die be-
fore 1907, and a few years afterward
an edition without date was printed at
Lyons by Jean de la Place. All these
editions are Of extreme rarity, and
probably that printed at Lyons is the
rarest of all, though the library Of the
British museum possesses two copies
Of it. 1t has never been suggested that
any maps were engraved to accompa-
ny either of the editions, but 1t has al
ways been supposed that the earliest
map with the word America" marked
on the new found world was the "Ty-
pus Orbis," engraved on wood for the
"Enarra tones Joannis Camertis in c..
Julii Solini Polyistora," printed at vi
emma in 1920 for Joannes Singrenius.
In this map the new world is represent
ed as long island, on which is the in
scription: "Anno d. 1897 haec terra cum
adjacentibus insults inventa est per
Columbian Ianuensem ex mandate re-
gis Castelle. America provincial"

Peat possesses wonderful antisep1c
and preservative qualities owing to the
presence Of tannin, iron and other sub
stances in it. Here is an instance: At
the time Of the covenanters, in 1888,
three men were shot at a place called
Crossgelloch on the moors above Old
Cumnock, In Scotland. In 1928, when
a monument was being erected to their
memory, the workmen came upon the
corpses rolled in their plaids. The bod
les were in exactly the same state as
when they were buried. The moss had
preserved them as If they had been en-
balmed.

Artificial Flowers.

1t was in Italy that demand for ar
tificial flowers first arose. This was due
primarily to a caprice Of fashion which
demanded that during festivals BIOS
SONS in and out Of their seasons should
be worn and also to the fact that their
color and freshness were stable. Later
on, in the middle ages, the artificial SO
far superseded the natural that both
men and Women decked their heads
with imitation flowers Of cambria, pa
per, glass and metal. The best artificial
flowers are now made in Paris.

Little Harry's affection for his old

Having bound herself to secrecy and
even CROSSED her heart" the old lady
was made the recipient of the follow

swillers, and there are horses belonging
to our company which will not leave
the delivery yards until they have had
their bucket of beer in the morning and
at lunch time. They have acquired a
taste for the beverage, and they refuse
to do their work until they have been
supplied. Now, l say the horses ac-
quired taste for beer, but guess am
wrong about that, for it is my candid
opinion that horses naturally love beer.
They seem to have the same taste for
1t that hogs have for mash and beer
from the stillhouses. 1t is well-known
fact that in running down and locating
Illicit stills in the mountain districts
the revenue officers are frequently aid
ed in their work by Watching the hogs,
