WHO The ABLUENoSES9 ARE
Explanation That Possibly May End
a Miseonceptlon That Has Been
Widespread.

Lots of you folks in the states,y
said Thomas F. Mccartney of st.
John, N. b., the other day, "call every
body from the maritime provinces
'bluenoses'. That's not 1t at all. It's
only the Nova Scotians that we call
SO. And it's not because the people
there have blue noses, either.
Il have met people here who really
thought that folks down east were so
called because their noses were al
ways blue on account of the cold, raw
climate they suppose prevails there.
1.-THE fact is, the term 'bluenoses'
was first given to the inhabitants OF
the CORVALLIS valley, who were the
original raisers of a potato called the
'bluenose,' from its blush skin. This
potato was shipped to the states in
large quantities, and the naRe of the
potato became the name of the PEG.
pie who raised It."

SAVED BY PRESENCE OF MIND
Mr.. ". NJ. Hamer Meets With Auto
Accident While Coming Out
From BennettSviJIe Mon
day Morning.

Presence of mind saved Mr.. w.
Nj. Hamer from serious and probab-
iy fatal injury while he was leaving
Bennettsville in his automobile
morning. Mr.. Hamer spends his
Sundays in Bennettsville where his
children are staying with their
ston. Monday morning while a
short distance out from Bennetts-
vile on his way to Dillon Mr.. Ha-
mer rounded sharp curve al a
lively gait and there loomed up in
front of him another machine 60
ing in the opposite direction. At
this point the road is narrow with
Il deep ditch on both sides. The
machines could not be stopped and
Il collision seemed inevitable The
only chance of escape was to plunge
his machine into the ditch and act
ing on his first impulse Mr.. Hamer
quickly shifted the steering wheel
of his machine and drove il into a
ditch six feet deep. The car WITS
pretty badly wrecked and MIR. Ha-
mer received several painful bruis-
es on the face and head The wind
shield was scattered and one of the
front wheels was crushed like an
egg she'll. T he other car was a
light machine and if Mr. Hamer
had not steered his heavy car into
the ditch the smaller car would
have been demolished.

Dining With q Lioness.

Miss Ellen VelVin, in the Febru-
airy McClure's, speaks of the ex-
cessive danger to the trainer that
lies in many of of the tricks per-
formed with trained lions.
Another trick was one in which
the trainer took a long strip Of
meat, put one end of it in his
mouth, and let the ltoness take the
other in hers. Hardly anyone in
the audience realized the terrible
danger of the act. To allow any
wild animal to put its face in such
close proximity to the face of a per-
son is in itself dangerous; but to
give { also the opportunity Of snap
ping or biting at such close quart
ers is, in my opinion, foolhardy.
This act generally passed off
very quietly, and 1t was not particu-
larly popular with the audience, but
one evening when the lioness was
In a bad humor she missed catching
the other end Of the meat and in
staBtly sprang for the trainer. The
table between them probably saved
his life, and he had the presence OF
mind to throw the piece of meat a.
way from him; but even then che
tore his throat and nearly killed
him. Few people In the audiencs
realized that there had been any
accident at all, 30 quickl was the
act ended and both the trainer and
the honsas out Of the arena"

that the cardinal question OF his
guilt or innocence be proposed
again TO Pantchenko. The court
granted the motion and the formal
question OF the indictment was
again read. Once more the old
physician replied that he was guilty
OF Bouturlin's death.
Meanwhile Gen. Bourturlin, faith
er of the slain Count, threw bomb
into court by declaring that he was
furnishing money for the defense.
He explained that he consented TO
do at the. solicitation OF his daugh-

Gen. Bouturlin said that at first
he distrusted De Lacey and warned
his daughter against him, but after

magnetic influence. Nevertheless, he
had warned his son not to go hunt

him in the forest.
The De Laceys came from Ireland
and won distinction in the Crimean

There is, OF course, a woman in
