Grapes Grown Under Glass.

The grape of grapes for the table
is grown in Belgium, and under glass.
1t is in no Arcadian rustic spot that
this ideal culture flourishes, but in
the wideawake metropolitan suburb
Of Hoezlaert, near Brussels. Here
there is a whole region of glass-noth-
ing but glass over a wide vista The
spectacle is one of the shows of the
country for amateurs and sightseers
alike.
A good many lovers of table fruit
whose interest in the subject extends
no further than the dessert stand will
probably be surprised to learn that it
is from no native dollhouse, but from
Hoezlaert, that the great fruiterers
Of London, Paris, the Riviera, Vienna,
Berlin, ST. Petersburg, and mirable
dictu, even New York, receive the
bulk of their winter supplies. Every
Friday hundreds of chests of choice
fruit, admirably packed, are de-
spatched TO the United States alone
The price at Hoezlaert is a minimum
of Is pence a pound on the vine, with
fivepence added for packing. The
choicest punches are those that weigh
about two pounds.

Tales of CIemenceau.

When Geosges Clemenceau, the new
prime minister of France, was APP
pointed minister of the interior and
paid his visit TO the office he came
upon a secret document concerning
himself which set forth infinitely all
the details Of his political career and
innumerable episodes Of his life. One
item related to certain weekly visits
which he had paid to a mysterious
person, supposed to be an enemy Of
the government, with whom he spent
an hour or so on each occasion. The
mysterious one, as a matter Of fact,
was NJ. Clemenceau's chiropodist. and
the minister took pains to have this
grotesque information inserted in the
serious document.
A couple of months ago he knocked
a. the door Of the prison of st. LaZare
and desired the porter to give him a
little bread. He looked so little like
q beggar that the porter burst out
laughing. but at the same time prom.
ised the bread. Still he added, Il
don't think you'll like it," That is
exactly what | want to see" replied
the little old man. Il am NJ. Clemen-
ceau, the minister of the interior"
The porter looked scared as he me-
chanically handed the minister the
bread, then rushed wildly of to the
prison authorities.
VI. Clemenceau ate his frugal meal
in silence and, turning to the officials,
who had by this time assembled, said:
The bread certainly is not good A
complaint has been made and | deter.
mined to taste the stuff myself" Next
day new flour of higher grade replaced
the old and better bread resulted.

Cow in strawstack Ten DAYS.

Ten days ago William Howischer,
residing southwest of this city. lost
one of his mich COWS. and, feeling
positive that the animal had strayed
away, advertised his loss in the news
papers The advertisement, however,
failed to bring the usual results.
Howischer had abandoned hope of
ever finding his COW again, when, on
passing near a large straw stack on
the farm his attention was attracted
by noise which seemed to come
from within the stack. Securing a
lantern he travelled a long, dark pas
sageway in the stack made by the
stock, at the end of which he found
the missing COW, which had got fast
in the passage and could not extricate
herself. She was given her freedom
and does not seem to be much the
worse for her Observation-Disclosures

Cat Catches Her Own Fish.

Mr. and Mrs. E. f. Fllrbrother, re-
siding in Skowhegan. Ne, have a
beautiful coon cat, Buster Brown" by
name, about two years of age, which
brought home, at an early hour yes
terday morning, a spotted trout, eight
inches long weighing a quarter of a
pound. Buster" has been known to do
some successful fishing in Written
brook before, but has always eaten his
catch himself. In this instance he
seemed to take a pride in his achieve
ments and leaped up on the sill of the
window, about five feet from the
ground, where he waited until he sue
the household. On entering the house
he laid the fish on the floor with the
air of a well-trained dog that has re-
trieved a bird for it's master The
fish was still alive, and, when placed
in the water, swan about as though
entirely uninjured.
Buster" comes of a cat family
noted for it's gaming instincts. His
father, owned in Hallowell, Me-, once
brought home full-grown partridge.

SERVED UNDER HERO.
DEATH OF ENGlISHMAN WHO
FOUGHT WITH CARIBAlDI.
Gen John Dunno Rendered Distin.
guished Service to the Cause of
United ltaly-CeIebrated for
His Acts Of DARING.

Gen. John Dunno died Recently at
the Victoria Memorial Hospital Nice,
at the age Of nearly so. He began his
career in the English army, and in
the Crimean war distinguished him
self as an officer of Bashi Bazouks.
He left the English service with the
rank of captain, and in 1860 began his
romantic career under Garibaldi.
At the request of La Farina (who
was acting under Cavours orders) he
took with him to Sicily a Sicilian
patriot named Giacinto Scelzi, who
went disguised as his servant. Scelzi
was compromised in the patriotic
movement in Sicily in 1S4S, and prob
ably would have been shot if taken
The two landed at Messina, and then
took a small boat to a village on the
coast, where they were well received
and soon gathered volunteers, of
whom Dunno became leader.
Marching and fighting their way
across the mountaiNs, the little band
reached Palermo in time to take part
in the last day of the struggle before
the capitulatiOn of the Bourbon com
mander-in-chief Dunno took Scelzi
TO Garibaldi, to whom he also deliv-
cred a secret message written on a
small piece of paper which he had
been ordered to destroy if captured.
At Palermo Dunno raised and dis.
ciplined what h6nceforth went by the
name of the Reggimento Dunno or
Reggimento Inglese, but the men were
almost all Sicilians, chiefly Palermi-
tans. They fought splendidly on the
critical occasion Of the battle of Mil.
azzo, where their timely arrival saved
the fortunes of the day.
Later, on the mainland, they were
Incorporated in the brigade which
Dunno commanded at the battle of
Volturno, where he was so severely
be in danger. He was celebrated for
acts Of great daring, and at The same
time he always preserved the quiet,
gentle manners of high bred English
gentleman. Garibaldi trusted him en-
tirely, and no officer who served under
the Italian hero had more loyal de-
vOtion to his chiefs
He often said that Garibaldi's mill
tary ability had never been done JUS
tee to. He rated him as immeas-
urably superior to the generals under
him, but he thought well of CosenZ.
who was afterward minister of war
Gen. DUNES great desire was to be
received into the regular Italian
army; but though the commission APP
pointed to inquire into the claims of
GariHlldian officers reported highly in
his favor, his wish was never graft
fed, because, though he had shed his
blood for Italy and materially helped
to free her. he was an Englishman

AN EXECUTION IN INDIA.
How a Sentence Of Death Was Car
ried Out on Streets of 1Hyderabad.

The decision as to whether the
murderer should be executed or i'm
prisoned for life was, says the Civil and
Military Gazette in describing an exc
cution at Ryderabad of a Pathan who
had shot his hrother-in-law, as is
usual, left to the murdered mans rela-
tives, and his wife, the sister of the
murderer, voted for death.
On the day for the execution there
appeared in the streets band of
sweepers armed with leafy twigs, fol-
lowed by squad of the city Arab
police with fixed bayonets. Then
came the criminal, dressed in new
white garments, with a new halter
around his neck and new ropes at
tached to his arms. The ends OF
these ropes were held by policemen.
The ordinary thing is for the con-
demned man to walk, but in this case
he was SO overcome that he had to be
conveyed in a jutka.
On arriving at the fatal spot the
murderer was made TO kneel down,
while the policemen handed over
charge of the cords to the execution
er's attendants one OF whom, Selling
the end of the halter stood in front
of the felon, while others held the
cords pinioning his arms behind. The
executioner, brandishing broad,
heavy sword keen as a razor, in
Suggestive fashion, and prancing up
towards his victim asked three times
in a loud voice: who authorizes the
execution" The chief of the city po-
lice on duty thrice replied: THE
Amin"
Then an attendant armed with a
long needle pricked the condemned
man in the back, causing him to start
forward. At the same instant those
holding the cords laid themselves
bacA in opposite directions as in a
tug-of-war contest, with the result
that the wretch's neck was stretched;
and, following the reply OF the chief
of police, the executioners blade de-
seconded fair and true on the neck,
severfng the head completely.
