NEGLECTED. BAYBERRIES.
limo Was When the Crop Was Eager.
Iy Harvested.

Years ago when the first frosts had
come Connecticut people went out to
pick the punches of bayberrics to make
the pale green wax candles which
when burning gave out the aromatic
smell of the leaves that the pickers
crushed in pulling off.
We nj longer pick ~bayberries for
company candles for the winter time.
Except a few romantic souls who gath
er berries enough to make a candle or
two for old memories, a few faddists
who want to try to make bayberry can
dies by some discovery or other in a
magazine and some stanch old New
Englanders who love to get out In the
pastures on a crisp fall day-these are
all who gather the bayberries now.
Left to themselves, the clumps OF
bushes have spread out and in some
cases overrun whole pastures. In some
parts Of Connecticut the bushes have
grown very tall.
In Branford, on the coast, there are
almost bayberry trees, as many can be
found growing along the highways ten
feet tall and some wen taller. These
bayberries must be very old. You ear
not help wondering how many crops
have been picked off them in years
past.
AS early as 1Ti7 the town records
show that the gathering of bayberriss
on the highways and common was for
hidden before Sept, 10. A fine of 10
shillings for each violation was the
penalty. 1t appears that the wax from
the berries was used in making a
backing and a salve and hat bayberry
wax continued an article of trade in
Bradford down to the last fifty years.
Human nature being about the same
one century to another, there was
probably in 1717 a great complaining
OF people who picked the berries DE
fore they were half ripe or got up
mornings before anybody else had n
chance" hence the regulation and the
fine.
But what a b~reathless, hurried bay
berry picking 1t must have been the
morning of Sept. 15!-Hartford Cou-

DANGEROUS FISH.
Ways of the Green Moray of Bermuda
and the Devilfish.

When one speaks of dangerous fish
the first that come to mind are the
shark and the octopus. But neither of
these Is really formidable to fishermen,
The shark never attacks Il boat and the
octopus very rarely.
A much worse creature than either
shark or octopus is the devilfsh-a
large ray that is common In the warm
waters Of the Atlantic. This fish
grows to a weight Of a ton and a half
and, besides formidable teeth, Is arm
ed with q horrible barbed and poisoned
spike in the tail. 1t has often been
known to attack boats.
A fishing party In a launch succeed
ed in harpOoning Il of these fish In
the bay known as Arkansas Pass, Tex
as. The brute lowed them eighteen
miles out to sea and very nearly upset
the launch. 1t was twenty-five feet
long and weighed 5000 pounds.
A very nasty customer Is the green
moray of Bermuda. This rather re-
sembles a conger eel, but Is green In
color and savage beyond any fish that
swims. An English marine officer. fish
ing off Bermuda a year or two ago,
hooked a large specimen and began to
pull 1t in.
His negro boatman, his eyes staring
with fright, begged him wildly to cut
the line. The officer at first refused,
but when he saw the fish turn ON itself
and with a crunch of saw edged teeth
bite q large piece out Of It's own body
he came to the conclusion that 1t IA
not a nice thing to have in a small
boat.
The swordish is a dangerous crea-
ture. Sword6sh are caught for the
sake of their oil and flesh, especially
along the Atlantic coast of the United
States. They are harpooned I'm the
same manner in which whales used to
be killed. Quiet enough until attack
ed, the swordfsh then seems to go
raving mad and fights with unmatched
ferocity.-LondOn Answers.

STORIES OF TENNYSON.
Showing Some Of the Odd Ways of the
Famous Poet.

Famous Poet.
In the memoirs of the late William
dillingham;. the English poet, appear
some interesting "reminiscences of Ten

was at Twickenham, where Tennyson
was then living. He says: soon came
In a tall. broad shouldered, swarthy
man. slightly STOPPING, with loose dark
hair and beard. He wore. s~pectacles

spectral figure. The great man peered
close at me and then shook hands cor.

one, but looked much older"
In 1886 Allingham visited Tennyson
at the latter's home, Farringford, In
Freshwater. Isle Of Wight. One morn
Ing they were talking on the downs to-
gether, and Allingham said that he felt
happy. Tennyson said gloomily, I'm
not at all happy-very unhappy" The
reason, as Tennyson afterward explain
ed. for his particular unhappiness was
his uncertainty regarding the condition
and destiny Of a Allingham was
very anxious to photograph him ON
this visit, but Tennyson positively re-
fused. you make bags under my
eyes," he said.
At another time during this visit, as
Allingham writes, they talked of
dreams. "Tennyson said: In my boy
hood l had intuitions of immortality
inexpressible! have never been able
to express them. ! shall try some day

Of that kind, whereat Tennyson, being

COUNTY SEAT REMOVAL
IN GRAHAM COUNTY.

It would seem that Cochise county
is not the only one in Arizona where
the question of county seat removal
is attracting attention. over in Ora
ham county the people have been talk
ing about moving the county seat for
more than twenty years and the fol
lowing from the Clifton Copper Era
would indicate that ,le question is
still live one.
ct has been remarked that the
eastern end of the county does not
poll a greater vote than the western
end and for the benefit of thise who
do not know the Era has secured fig
ures that may not be exactly correct,
although they will answer the ques-
ton. The vote of the eastern end of
the county is estimted at 1922 and the
western end at 1869 or majority of
253. This should convince the people
of the county that unless the county
seat is conceded to this end of the
county in the near future, Graham
county win most assuredly be divided.
Already many people are talking
about the dissention that is bound TO
exist in a county in which there is
interested both mining and farming.
However, old Graham has been get
ting along pretty good in past years
and should remain intact if possible.
Instead of letting the Stafford people
take the lead, why should not the citi-
zens of the eastern end get together
and circulate petition asking for an
election to decide the question. It is
rumored that this move is now on
foot and the petitions viii soon be in
circulation. The vote viii decide
where the county seat should be. The
majority will tell US where they want
the county seat This is a matter
which the valley napers have been
talking about for some time, but it
always seems to be between Stafford
and Solomonville, overlooking the fact
that the eastern end may get in and
take the plum. Now that the ques-
ton has been started by the valley
people, why not have the election
called and settle It for good"
