The Oldest Steamboat.

There was a craft in the marine

interested some, people as much as. II
not more than, the Half Noon and
Ciermont. She was the ancient Nor
witch. oldest of existing steamboats,,
built in the year 1886. when the art OF
steamboat construction had not pro-
crossed appreciably beyond that Oh
Fulton's days.
Indeed. many people who saw the
Norwich's gigantic freeboard, sur
mounted by a small pilot house and
an insignificant cabin. thought her
more primitive than the Clermont
herself. For many years the Nor
wich has been in honorable retire
ment. but a few weeks ago somebody
moved to resurrect her from the bone
yard in which she rested. along with
many another good ship that had
seen her day. and she was lowed out

Eludina the Officers.

Here is an amusing description of
one Of Balzac's periods of impecunios-
ity. Merry, the poet, great friend of
Balzac, was an inveterate gambler
and rarely left the card table before
daybreak. His way lay past the Cafe
de Paris, and for four consecutive
mornings he had met Balzac strolling
leisurely up and down dressed in q
pantalon n pieds trousers not termi-
mating below the ankle, but with feet
in them like stockings) and frock coat
with velvet facings. The second morn
ing Merry felt surprised at the coinci-
dence; the third he was puzzled; the
fourth he could hold out no longer and
asked Balzac the reason of these noe
turnal perambulations roundabout the
same spot.
Balzac put his hand in his pocket
and produced an almanac showing that
the sun did not rise before $3.50. Il am
being tracked by the officers of the
tribunal de commerce and obliged to
hide myself during the day, but at this
hour I am free and can take a walk,
for as long as the sun Is not up they
cannot arrest me"

Milk on a Stick.

In winter time milk goes to the buy.
ler in chunk instead OF n quart, says
q Glasgow paper. The people IN Sibe-
fria buy their milk frozen, and for con-
ivenience II is allowed TO freeze about
stick, which comes as a handle to
carry it by. The milkman leaves one
chunk or two chunks. as the case may
be, at the houses of his customers.
The children in Irkutsk, instead Of cry
Ing for drink of milk, cry for u bite
OF milk. The people in winter time do
not say, BE careful not to spill the
milk" but BE careful not to break
the milk" Broken milk is better than
spilled milk, though, because there is
an opportunity to save the pieces. A
quart of frozen milk on a stick is
very formidable weapon in the hand of
an angry man or boy, as It is possible
to knock person down with 1t. Ir.
kutsk people hang their milk on hooks
Instead of putting it In pans, though,
OF course, when warm spring weather
comes on they have to use the pans or
pals as the milk begins TO melt and
drop down the hooks.
