Found $1,000

In going through the effects Of Miss
Anna Webb, who died at her nome in
Port Penn last Friday, her relatives
found $1,000 hidden away in isolated
spots in and around the premises. Some
of the cash was found in old stockings
and salt bags, and $3.50 of the money
was in gold coins. Her relatives were
greatly surprised when they discovered
the money, as none of them ever
dreamed of her possessing this wealth.

The oId .pavs at l4arvard.

Tn his HStory of Harvard, Arthur Stanwood Pier quotes a curious anec- dote by Professor Sidney Willard Of the class of 17es Tn spite of it's age, the story has some very modern fea- tures
 The students, who boarded at com mons, wrote Professor Willard, were obliged to go to the kitchen door with their bowls or pitchers for their sup pers, where they received their modI- cum of milk or chocolate in the vessel that each held in one hand and their piece of bread in the other and repair ed to their rooms to take their solitary repast. There were suspicious at times that the milk was diluted with a mix ture of q very common. taste1ess fluid, which led a sagacious Yankee student to put the matter to test by asking the simple carrier boy why his mother did not mix the milk with warm water instead of cold.
 'sShe does, replied the honest youth.

I6hnIIiInu snannatti.

There is a popular belief to the effect that the Neapolitan eats his spaghetti by delft process of wrapping thirty or forty inches round the tines of his fork and then lifting it inboard, an ell at a time. This. is not correct The true NeapoIftan does not eat his spaghetti at all: he inhales it. He gathers up a loose strand and starts 1t down his throat He then respires from the dia- pnragm, and, like a troupe of trained angleworms, that entire mass of spa ghetu uncofIs itself, gets up off the plate and disappears Inside him en masse, as it were and makes him look like a, man who is chinning himself over set of bend portieres. I fear that we in America will never learn. to siphon our spaghetti into us thus It takes a nation that has practiced deep breathing for centuries Irwin s. Cobb innSaturdaE Evening Post

Mahogany Trees.

True mahogany is distinctly native of tropical America, but occasionally small specimens have been found in southern Florida and similar freess never reaching the height of the Amer ican relative. have been found in India Mahogany has been planted in south ern Florida, southern California and Mexico, but only as an orna mental tree, for it is of such slow growth and re quires for full maturity such natural surroundings that for commercial pur poses it would be impossible of culti- vation. It is a giant among even the giants of a tropical forest. It towers sometimes to a height of 100 feet The trunk is often fifty feet in length and twelve feet in diameter, and 1t divides into huge arms and throws its shade over vast extent of surface. The pre- else. period of growth is not accurately known, but when large it changes little during the life of man, the time of it's arrival at maturity being estimated at POO years. Houston Post.

Money In a MeItina Mood.

The Spanish owner of a Mexican ranch in the days of President Diaz conducted soap factory, this being common among the big ranchers. who in this way use the waste product of the emile and sheep busdmess- He ran q general store and paid his men in soap. which could be turned in at the store for the necessaries of life. The soap was soft, and 1t melted or wasted away so that it's purchasing price was much decreased when It was weighed in at the store against other commodf ties. The ignorant peons had heard vaguely of Diaz, and eventually they mounted their horses and rode 800 miles to the City of Mexico A house servant would have turned them away, 1t is related, save that the president happened to see them through a win dow. He ordered them admitted and heard the story in great wrath. His verdict against the oppressor was that all back wages. irrespective of the soap currency, should be paid them and oth- CT reforms instituted on penalty of confscation of the ranch.-New York Times.

Westn,ineter Abbey,a Prizenahter.

Observant visitors to Westminster ab- bey may have noticed in one of the groups of statuary near the north door of the edifice a remarkable arm on one of the figures. Not a few people have thought that 1t was an exaggerated model og a slimb, but as matter Of fact it was actually modelled from the arm of verger at the abbey, named John Burton, who at one time was champion prizehghter Of England Burton was the deans verEer, and on one occasion he was asked if he would like to be buried In the abbey. Burton replied in the aairnative and also ask ed that the fact that he was champion prizefghter Of England should be fn- scribed on his tomb. To this the dean actually consented, but when the time came it was decided by the chapter that the inscription should be omitted. Burton, however, was buried In the abbey, although there is nothing on the tombstone to indicate who or what he was.--London Opinion

Fiji IsIanders, Sugar Cane Dance.

A very curious and exceedingly clev- CT dance may be witnessed in Fiji call ed by the natives '.the sugar cane meke,. or sugar cane dance. It rep resents the growth of the sugar cane In the first figure the dancers squat low on the ground, shake their heads. shut their eyes and murmur slowly and softly an unintellig1ble sentence. Gradually they all stand up together, growing taller and taller, and as they grow they wave their arms and tremb1e all over from ankle to head, like the tall, tasseled cane waving in the wind, and stil1 they keep on chant ing louder and louder. The last fig ure represents a series of combats meant to symbolic the exactions of the chiefs, who compel the sfkaisi, ' willing and unwilling, to come and cut their crops-London Standard
