AoRoBAT's WAY OUT.

Even II Locked In, Ne Was Deter.
mined to Fill Engagement.
A few days ago the doorkeeper of a
house in Razyezja street, st. Peters
burg, was astounded to see a man
jump from window in the third story
of the building and then, apparently
uninjured, proceed at "a brisk pace
along the street. 1t took some time
for the doorkeeper to recover from
his astonishs-ent, but when he did he
at once started in pursuit, for it
seemed to him that the fugitive must
be either dynamiter or a burglar
Several other doorkeepers joined
in the pursuit-for in Russia the door
keeper has the powers OF constable
and at the corner Of Giaz2ya street
the unknown Que was seized and
handed over to the police. He turned
out to be Japanese called Yokado,
eighteen years of age and member
of troupe Of Japanese acrobats who
were performing In st. Petersburg.
He explained that one of the servants
in the fiat where he had room had
gone away with the key after locking
the door, PROBABLY under the impress
sion that there was nobody in the
house.
Yokado waited more than an hour
for her to return and then, fearing
that he would be late at the music
hall where he was performing made
the perilous jump which had so aston.
ished the neighborhood. .$

Places Where a Genuine Surname is

Places here a Genuine Surname is
81 ". Never Even Heard.
In many places In Great Britain, and
especially In some Of the fishing viz
lagos of Cornwall and Of certain parts
Of Scotland such asthing4 as a genuine
surname is never even heard. Every
man III the place is known by a nick
name. Us 3s 81 j / lt
In most Of these villages this has
been brought about originally by the
fact that all the Inhabitants have only
had very few surnarnes among them.
One OF two prevailing families have
represented the population and have
married and intermarried till trying to
distinguish man by his surname has
only created confusion. And even
some Of the nicknanes have begun to
act IN the same way. At a village not
very far from Wick the writer knows
Of some fishermen who had originally
been nicknamed "Dumpy'' and had
left SO many descendants that other
specific; nicknames had been necessary
| to distinguished which Of the Dunn
|spys" was meant on given occasions. E Y
At another village not far from this
one several nicknames. have in the
same way become the only known fam
lily names. The writer was once in
the general shop here when small
boy came in and asked for some ar
ticle, stating that it was for Blower. 4
"Blower?" said the shopkeeper.
(which Blower? There are scores Of

OLD TIME zUULuGY.

The Queer Insects Lawson Discovered
In North Carolina.
/ In the Raleigh state library is an
interesting old volume presented by
President Madison in 1881. This quaint
book is the first history Of North Caro-
lima, written in 1741 by "John Lawson,
Gent" surveyor general Of the lords
proprietors. The history is well worth
reading, but perhaps the most enter
tanning portion Of its many pages is
that in which Mr.. Lawson describes
the flora and fauna Of the new coun-
try. He is evidently the ancestor Of
the railway conductor who decided
that, according to the rules Of the road,
"dogs is dogs and cats is dogs, but
turtles Is insects"
"We will next treat of Beasts" says
the historian. "The chief are the Buffe-
10, or Wild Beef; the Tiger; the Bever;
and the Bearmouse. The Buffelo is a
Wild Beast of America which has a
Bunch on his Back. These monsters
are found to weigh las am informed
by Traveller of Credit from HOO to
2400 weight.
"The Bat or Bearmouse is the same
as in England. I have put this among
the Beasts as partaking of both the
Nature Of the Bird and the Mouse.
Now I shall proceed to the known In
sects Of the Place
insects Of North Carolina: Allega-
tors, Rattlesnakes, Frogs, Vipers, Tor
tots, Terebin, Rottenwood Worms (etc.).
"The Alligator is the same as the
Crocodile. After the Tail of the Allie
gator is removed from the Body it will
move freely for several Days. have
named these among the Insects be-
cause they lay Eggs, and did not
know well where else to put them"

! FERN LEAVES.
They Are Valuable For Preserving Ar
ii % ticIes of Food. E@

They Are Valuable For Preserving Ar
# ticIes of Food.
The fern plant, which grows almost
everywhere, is an excellent preserva-
tive for packing articles of food, fruit,
etc. People who have lived in Eng
land know that the English have used
it successfully for many years. VAL
liable fruit, fresh butter, etc, are no
longer seen in the English markets
packed in grapevine leaves, but almost
always in fresh fern leaves, which
keep the articles excellently This is
done where grapevine leaves are to be
had in abundance. Every one posted
well in botany knows the high preserv-
ative power of fern leaves with refer
ence to vegetable and animal sub
stances. 49,
On the Isle of Man fresh herrings
are packed in ferns and arrive on the
market in as fresh n condition as when
they were shipped. Potatoes packed
in ferns keep many months longer
than others packed only in straw. Ex-
periments made with both straw and
fern leaves in the same cellar showed
surprising results in favor of ferns.
While the potatoes packed in straw
mostly showed signs Of rotting in the
spring. those in ferns were as fresh as
If they had just been dug.
Fresh meat Is also well preserved by
fern leaves. 1t would seem as if the
highly preservative qualities of fern
leaves are due to their high percentage
Of salt. No larvae, maggots, etc, ap.
proach ferns, as the strong odor keeps
them away.-New York Times. -
