JAPANESE WAETZlNG MICE.

Perhaps the most curious of all the
strange. pets the Japanese affect is a
species of mouse that waltzes through
the greater part of the waking hours
of its life. 1t is said never to tire.
The japanese waltzing mouse is black
and white and has pink eyes Just
about the time when other species OF
mice are beginning to learn To walk
this curious rodent commences TO
waltz. ...--szz4sz.z-z-
If several of the dancing mice are
put into cage they will sometimes
waltz in couples and sometimes moro
than two will join in d mad whirl. so
rapid, it is said are their gyrations
that it is frequently impossible to tell
their heads from their tails. When
the floor of the cage is Dot smooth
so il is averred the mice actually
wear out their feet Japanese de-
clare that Waiting is as neces-
sary to the welfare of the dancing
mouse as midair somersaults are to
the tumbling pigeon. There is pro.
vided an upright peg, which forms =
convenient pivot round which the mice
can whirl. without such guide the
mice would not cover an area larger
than dinner plate in several minutes.
They easily spin under large drink
ing glass The true cause of the waltz
ing is a defective condition of the inner
ear which governs the equilibrium II
is associated with albinism-hence the
pink eyes. -Harper's Weekly.

Bingham, Me, Aug. 16.-(SpeciaD.--
The Centennial and Old Home week at
Bingham still had more enoyments to
offer, Thursday, when the Sugartown
School Association held its grand re-
union, and about 300 men, women and
children from all parts of the county
We're present.
1t was an event that will long be re-
membercd by those especially who at
tended the school at one time, though

miles from Bingham, and is the place
where one of the first schoolhouses of
the town was located 1t is near the
foot of a large hill. and now woods
have grown up so that pretty grove
is the result.
This interesting history of Sugar
town was given at the reunion. Su-
gartown. a hill in Moscow, was set

nephew, Abner. Reuben and Brown,
and Charles. All settled around this
picnic spot, and probably built the first

of his Democratic opponents and 9TH
ers were saving: Yes. the laws are en-
forced but 1t is costing the county a
lot of money! Sheriff AIo6ers said:
Now | want to tell you good people
this, that if in my Judgment it ought
to cost more in order to enforcer the
laws I shall spend more" He sighted
as an example of cost of Somerset
county and that OF. just the city of Wa
terviile in 1911, for arrests for intoxiea-
ton. He said that Waterville has the
same conditions of people and the city
is not but little larger than Skowhe
gar, and in 1911 1t cost the city of Wa
terville $4,000 for police work, and it
cost Skowhegan 5000 which vas for

Waterville there were T44 arrests for
intoxication, 422 We're committed to
Jail, while in Somerset county there
were "a arrests for intoxication and
five IN Skowhegan. This is a sample of
economy and the things that the Dem
ocrats boast of in the home of the
Democratic statesmen, the monarch of
the party. and the home of one of the
biggest institutions of learning in the
State.
