H., For Which Port- i land’s Fate Had Been Planned. One of the causes of the Revolutien- ary war, and quite as important a one as the stamp act, was the wanton de- then part of the town of Falmouth. It was said that the patriots might have forgiven Lexington and Concord, but that the razing of this town, which { had been peaceably inclined until then, incensed the colonies beyond measure. One prompt result was the immediate formation of a. Maine regiment which was added to the meager forces of the Continental army. ‘Not so generally known, however, is the tradition that it was.due to the fascinations of a beautiful woman that Portland was destroyed and-an- other town ‘preserved, When the British commauder. Cap— Canceau, ‘anchored with his fleet in Portland’s itiner harbor, he did not re- veal to her Citizens that the unscmpu- lous little god of love had been his pilot. . Instead, on a bright October ensign on his fleet and at 9 o'clock began a bombardment that lasted un- interruptedly until 6 o’clock at night. Portland was unprepared for such a visitation, and there was no attempt at defense, the inhabitants simply swarming the streets with their ox ecarts and horses and attempting to seek safety by flight to the open coun- try back from the water front. So close did the assailing vessels ap- proach that under cover of the bom- bardment they landed sailors who per- vadéd the town, setting fire to such buildings as had escaped damage from Captain Mowatt had completed the sac- rifice he desired to lay before love's shrine three-quarters of the town was totally destroyed, including the mu- nicipal buildings, churches, public l- brary, fire engine houses, warehouses, wharfs and shipping. All that be left was a handful of the poorer hovels, every residence of im- portance being bombarded or set on fire and 5,000 inhabitants left shel- terless at the approach of winter. To make it practically certain that aid could not come to the seaport by wa- ter he destroyed all but one wharf and took with him on his departure all the i{vessels anchored in the harbor that had been spared from the torch. Truly he had a glorious bonfire and in explanation he exhibited instruec- tions which read: “Come opposite the town with all possible expedition, and there burn, sink and destroy,” but the gossips of the time said that these or- ders originally related to Portsmouth, N. H,, and that it was due to a woman that they were not carried out as writ ten. Captain Mowatt and his fleet had anchored off Portsmouth harbor some time previously to his assault upon Portland, and while there he had-gone quietly on shore and secretly visited the family of the royalist (or Tory, as the colonists called them), Nathaniel Sparhawk. Nathaniel had a daughter, a girl of eighteen, famed the country round for her beauty as her fathér was famed for his obnoxious loyalty to King George, and when the sailor cap- tain saw her he proved an easy con- quest (like most sailors where pretty women are concerned), and he found it necessary to be rowed from his ship many times in order to spend the even- Ings with attractive Mary.Sparhawk. Her wit, beauty and brilliancy of tonversation fascinated him and was abandoned, and Portland suffered in the stead of the town which held the charniing little loyalist. - So what one historian termed *“a wanton, indefensible assault upon an undefended and peaceful city” came every volley from the fifty guns of Mowatt's fleet doubtless carried his tholights back to the lass who had won | | his heart.

It can be stated with perfect truth that a lump of sugur may be turned into diamonds. Not all the substance of the sugar, of course, will enter into the composition of the gem. but only the carbon that it contains. Sugar consists of carbon united with oxygen and hydrogen. The carbon can be easily separated out, and in certain ex- periments for the production of dia- monds this sugar carbon has been ers- ployed. The diamonds so produced titute of commercial value, they are real diamonds, and the chemical result achieved would be no large as the Kohinoor. The hope has often been held out that an improve- ment in the process of manufacturing diamonds '‘may be effected whereby the ‘necessity of dissolving the carbon in molten iron may be dispensed with, and the required combinatioh of great pressure with great heat may be brought about by some such opera- tiop as squeezing the carbon between red hot metal plates.

John Hays Harhmond, the mining engineer, met him in prison in South Africa at the time when Ham- mond and other prominent men wére held as captives by the Boers in con- ‘mection with the Jameson-+aid. The engineer and the Irishman became well acquainted. “Probably--you wonder why I'm here,” said Sullivan one day when the thermometer bad gone as high as 115 in the shade. . “Well; I'll tell you.

Vegetables in Tudors” Time. ‘What did people eat before they had the potato as a staple article of diet? tables that we have now. Of Loudon- ers in the time of the Tudors, Sir Wal- ter Besant tells us that they ate let- tuce as a separate dish before the meat, used turnip leaves as a salad and roasted the turnip itself in wood ashes. Horseradish and carrots were known to them, and capers were serv ed boiled in oil or vinegar. Cucum- bers, radishes, parsnips and cabbages also figured at the Tudor meal table, for which. by the way, they boiled their oysters and spread their beef with honey. It would be fun in these days to eat—or refuse—a Tudor meal.— | London, Chronicle. { A Whistler Story. ‘When Whistler had pot yet reached the height of his fame a milionaire called at his studio and wanted his wife’s portrait done. “How much will you charge me, Mr. ‘Whistler,” he said, “for a lifesize pic- ture of the madam?” “My price,” said Whistler, “will be $2,500.” The millionaire took up hig hat and stick. “Why,” he snorted, turning to go, “you expect to be paid for your work as if you had been dead four or five hundred years!” Seai Oil Ice Cream. an ice cream made of seal oil into which snow is stirred until the desired consistency has been obtained:; then frozen berries of different kinds are added.
