A Tree That Grows Dishes.

iroe II nat crows Dishes.
 There is a tree in the West Indies that the natives say grows dishes '' It looks like an apple tree. They call it the calabash. It bears very queer leaves and large white blossoms that grow right from the trunk and larger branches. After the flower comes the fruit, just as our apples or peaches do. But this fruit is in the shape of a gourd, only stronger and very much larger. sometimes a foot in diameter The shell Is so hard that all sorts of big and little dishes and drinking cups can be carved out of it. Even pots and kettles are made and used over the fire, but of course they cannot last as long as our metal oues.-London Telegraph.

LOCAL FISHERMEN
PLANT $4,000
TROUT FRY
8 Consignments Received From
Massachusetts Hatchery
ALL IN GOOD CONDITION
Twelve Thousand Distributed by
North Bennington Men and Bal
ance In this Immediate Section

Nine consignments of brook trout
fry from the Plymouth, Mass, hatch.
cry were received here last evening
by sportsmen in the village and North
Bennington and were placed by the
men who made the applications to
State Fish and Game Commissioner
Titcomb in different streams in this
vicinity. In all there were $4,000 fry,
of which 10000 divided in two lots
of 5000 each and consigned to A. j.
Nash and =. w. Meagher were placed
in what is known as the Basin brook,
contributary of the Furnace brook.
The fry received in this village con-
sisted of seven consignments of 1000
each and were planted as follows: E.
b. Patterson, main stream; Claire e.
Soule, Bickford Hollow; l.. c. Holton,
Furnace Brook; Z. S. Higgins, Chase
brook; Jesse T. Carpenter, south
stream; W. E. Hawks, south stream.
The shipment was delayed through
a failure to make connections at Hoo
sick Junction and did not arrive here
in Bennington until after six o'clock in
the evening but the men to whom the
Try were consigned got busy" as soon
as the circumstances became known
and put out the little fish during the
evening.
The fry were in unusually good con
dition. The experiment of securing
fry and fingerlings from the Plymouth
| hatchery was tried some two years
ago and turned out so well that it is
probable that the future stocking fol
this county will be made in the same
manner.
Because of poor railroad connec
tons it is impossible to ship fry into
this section from the state hatchery
during one day and in order to make
the paintings successful it was founC
necessary to go out of the state fol
| the stock.

North Adams, May 19.-From about
o'clock yesterday morning until 6
o'clock last evening all trains that
we're hauled through Hoosac Tunnel

Like all we'll educated men and wo-
men. Mr.. Seitz lives within the shad-
ow of Harvard University, his home
being in Brookline, Mass, but he
started in the theatrical world as a
stagehand in the famous Castle
Square Theatre, Boston. He could
have started more auspiciously, but
with a cool Yankee determination, he
wanted to know what to do from the
ground up. While acting as stage
hand. he asked more questions of the
chiefs of every other branch, than
they ever expected anyone would. He
wanted to know what the electrician
was doing; he asked why the proper
ty man allowed certain liberties; he
