"Hot-Pot~ As Bridal Gin.

A recent wedding at Whitburn-
b: -the-Sea. a picturesque little fish
ing village to the north of Sunder-
land. has called attention to an an
Client marriage custom prevailing
at this place. which, so far as is
known. is absolutely unique in the
kingdom.
The custom consists In the villag-
ers providing a "hot-pot" and pre-
senting 1t at the church door as the
bridal party leaves, says Home Chat.
The contents of the "hot-pot" are
n mixture of beer, brandy. eggs and
ginger, made very hot The gift
is considered great compliment.
There is an instance on record of no
fewer than 10 "hot-pots" having
been sent to newly-marrted couple
who had won great popularity.

SWALLOWS RAPID FLIGHT.
Has Speed Of Hundred and Twenty
Eight Miles mn Hour.

The French scientific weekly, Ciel
ct Terre. prints an interesting arti-
Gle about the speed OF several birds,
as observed by August Verschurin,
Of Antwerp. The rapidity OF flight
credited to the swallow GOO feet q
second) seemed exaggerated to him
and he undertook some experiments
on his own hook.
He sent several baskets OF pigeons
TO Compeigne. France. and in a sepa-
rate cage a swallow which had its
nest under the gable roof of the rail-
road station at Antwerp. At 100 In
the morning, all the birds we're lib
Grated at Compeigne; the swallow
took a northern direction as quick as
eral spirals in the air before they
started in the same direction Tho
swallow arrived at It's nest in Ant
werp ut S.23, a number of witnesses
bling present at It's arrival.
The first pigeons only arrived at
their destination at l1.30 of the
same morning. The swallow had,
therefore. covered the entire distance
of 146 " miles in one hour and IS
minutes. which is equal to a speed
OF 12Sk miles an hour. or about 1S9
feet a second, which Is about double
the speed OF an express train.
The pigeons only reached speed
Of IS miles an hour or As feet a Sec
ond. 1t may be gathered from these
figures how rapidly the migratlons OF
swallows take place. as with the
speed given above 1t would require
only half day to fly from Belgium
or central Germany TO northern
Africa.

Protection for European Bison.

The preservation Of the wild bison
of Europe, which finds its last place
of refuge in Russia, is now attracting
attention in that country. Wild BIZ
son are now to be found only in the
imperial forest of Bielowjesha (in
Polish Bialowicza). In the Govern
ment of Grodno, In Russian Poland,
and in the valley OF the kuban, in
the Western Caucasus.
In neither domain can they be
said to exist In state of freedom.
for In the one case they are carefully
preserved by the Car and In the
other placed under the protection OF
tho Princes of the Empire, 1t is true,
however, that In the Caucasian re-
g!on the bison still roams at Will as
Wild animal, though the great mobiles
on whose estates IL Is found claim II
as their property.

As some do not seem 10 fully un-
derstand the circular letter recently
sent out by US, we wish TO explain
more fully.
ln the first place, we sent this let
ter TO every male voter in the county,
and not, as some think, only to those
In our debt.
Oar object 10 going upon cash
basis, Is TO enable US TO sell at one
price to ali, which we think Is the
only straight way OF doing business.
1t Is pretty well known that under
the credit system merchants have
two prices; one for the cash man,
the other for the credit buyer. Now
We have reduced the prices on all
goods that would stand ", and we
propose To stay by one price without
deviation, on the principle chat one
mans money is AS good as another's.
We expect To extend credit TO
worthy people, Just as much as we
ever did; but, as they will purchase
their goods at the same price AS the
spot cash people, we propose to
charge interest on accounts running
over thirty days. Unless man runs
q very long time account, his goods
then will be cheaper than under the
old system. We are not adding In.
terest TO accounts run prior to Jan.
1907.
In conclusion, we do not expect
that we will make money by this
change but we do think that the
one price system Is the only square
way OF doing business--and q square
deal is what We want TO give, aud
hope TO receive.
Yours truly,

Jennings and Jack Sampson at the

Jim jennings must not he FAR FROM
thirty pounds the heavier OF the two,
but Jack Sampson made up In actiy-

Jennings had the physical force To
lift Sampson from bis feet and throw
him over lis shoulder, yet like the

In the catch as-eatcu-can plan of
wrestling 1t occurred 10 the writer
that strength and scientific training
would count for more than activity.
Most of the time the contestants

OF his person was up in the air.
This ended the bout. The contest

contestants were most gentlemanly
