Boston Holiday Dish.
From the Boston Herald.

For some reason there was q falling off In
the demand for roast pig on Washing ton' s
birthday. Not that roast pig is peculiar to
that particular day, but that it is a favored
Boston holiday dish. Families that never
think Of 1t at any other time will give 1t a
try on holiday, and the marketmen cater
to the notion Stalls that never have them
on sale generally will have them just before
the holiday. Piggies were rather scarce this
year, but they pervaded the market on
Thursday and were a distinct drag Every
body dealing in meat had some, but many
got sadly left The holiday coming a
Friday, and in Lent at that. is supposed to
account for the change-a combination that
might have but did not occur to the traders
generally.

Cricket Players on Skates.

From the Glasgow News.
dozen years ago today-the date was
February 20, 1s95-a cricket match was ac-
tually played on Loeb Lomond. So keen
had been the frost at this particular period
that the Queen Of Scottish Lakes" was
covered with a substantial sheet of ice, and
the day In question being favored with
bright sunshine goodly gathering graced
the vicinity of the bonnie, bonnie banks
to witness the novel spectacle OF cricket
match on ice.
The wickets were placed on wooden stands
fixed to the frozen surface and all the play
ers were mounted on skates. IN oygone
times cricket has been played under similar
Conditions south of the Tweed, but the
game above referred to is probably me only
one of its kind that ever TOOK place IN
Scotland. ssf
