" Why Hermit Took Up Hermiting. A hermit was found dead in the cave in which he had resided for many years. When the cavern was ex- amined a number of quaint and curi- ous relics were discovered. A loaded shotgun bore a tag marked: ‘“Both barrels for practical jokers.” A bot- It bore the legend: “Poison fér the clammy-clawed pests who are always shaking hands and calling you ‘broth- er.’” A card identified a bunch of thongs knotted to a wooden handle as a “Knout for back slappers.”” Other unpleasant articles, like bowie knives, bludgeons, broadaxes, slungshots, raw hides, thumbscrews and so on dis- played labels designating them for epplication to the confidential whis- perer, the person who tells you for your own good, the nuisance who puts an endearing hand on your shoulder while relating an uninteresting re- miniscence, et al., which went only to further show the late gentleman’s state of mind. Being perspieacious, it was not hard for the visitors to decide why he had erased himself from the world and taken up the thankless job of hermiting. My Favorite Love Scenes. It find it a matter of great difficulty to select one particular love-scene as my favorite, writes Ellen Terry in the Btrand. I can at least say, however, that I have ever feit the deepest af- fection and admiration for the pas- sage in Romeo and Juliet in which Juliet makes apology for her maiden boldness. My reason for selecting this partic- plar passage is that it serves to show to the full the perfect refinement and delicacy of Shakespeare’s conception of the female character. In this pas- sage—and, indeed, in all the rest— Juliet’s heart, fluttering between joy, hope and fear, seems to regulate her ppeech in so beautiful a manner that the thought instinctively crosses one's mind that here, at least, the feelings of youth and of the spring are blended together like the breath of opening fowers. His Art Instincts. Jones had invited a friend to dinner and asked hin to carve a chicken that was placed before him. The guests set to work with a good will, but after & deal of muscular exercise was com- pelled to acknowledge himself beaten. “Where in the name of leather did you get that bird? “T don’t know,” replied the host, “unless it should prove to be the off- srring of some hard bolled egg™— Chicago News. —~— was grinding and clashing all the time; but a man on shore fired a gun, and everybody pointed and waved up- stream. The boatman never lost his nerve; he rested on his oars for a moment, glanced round, and turned the boat up- stream. Slowly at first, but soon gathering speed, he sent his frail craft hard at the ice. The boat hit the ice sguarely, and ran up it. It was his only chance, for if the mass had caught the boat sidewise, it would have smashed it like an egg-shell. Hanging to the punt, dragging it from one piece of ice to another, jump- ing some pretty wide gaps once or twice, and sometimes hauling the craft after him with the short line, he struggled on. It was the bravest thing I ever saw in my life, but I don’t want to see it done again. On both banks the peo- ple stood helpless; they could do nothing except watch, and some could not do that. Finally the intrepid boatman reach- ed the shore, and, needless to relate, he did not try to come back that day.

Special Counters Displayed BROUGHT HOME HIS DUCKS Bargain counters have been arranged Early Day Method of Catching the Birds in Great Numbers That Was Popular in Maine. including articles such as Ribbons, Silks, Velvets, Veil- ings, Ornaments, Wings, Fancy Feathers and Ostrich Plumes. A duck drive is what they called a novel way the early settlers took to capture the ducks that were plentiful In the early settlement of Maine. For a few days in August the birds could not fly, as they were shedding thelr feathers. The time was well ¥nown to the inhabitants of all the towns about Deer Isle and those who could come did not fail to be present. First a circle of boats was formed so as to partially surround them and others were stationed so as to prevent | the birds taking a wrong direction. Duck Harbor was the place selected to drive them into, it being narrow and extending half a mile inland. Be- gimning at the upper of the bay the boats were drawn in for several miles, As this went on more birds were over- taken and-as they reached their des- tination a large number were includ- ed in the drive. Reaching the shore at the head of the harbor, the ducks not being able to run much were overtaken and killed in large numbers. At one time g large drive was made and the birda pttempted to walk through the woods. to the other shore, but being unable to walk died in large numbers. This was the last big drive that was made. Birds that escape a great danger avoid the same locality.—Lewiston Journal. MUSLIN UNDERWEAR A large assortment of ladies’ Muslin Underwear will belclosed out at very low prices.

Most persons know the story that is told of Cleopatra to illustrate her luxurious habits of living—that she dissolved in her wine a precious pearl. No one seems yet to have questioned what must have been the effect upon the drink, but scientists scoff at the possibility of such solution. The fact is pearls are not soluble in wine. The most powerful vinegar affects them slowly, and never en tirely dissolves them, for the organic ‘matter remains behind, in the shape of & spongy mass that is larger than the original pearl.
