In the HnhMtfh slate library Is un IntorwitlNjr old vol u mo nnwuted by rrutitdiiut MndlHoti lu 1831. This quaint book Is tln Hint history of North Con Ihm, written In 1741 by "Mtx Lawsou, (ii'iit," a surveyor jicmpihI of the lords proprietors. The ItlHtorjr Is well worth rvndliitf, but perhaps the most enter (nliilng portion of Its mnny pages I" that In which Mr. Lawson describes th flora ami fuuim of the new coun try, He Is evidently the ancestor of tho railway conductor who decided (hut, according to tho rules of the road, "doss Is dog aiid cat! Is dogs, but turtles Is InscK ts." "We will next treat of Boasts." says the blstortun, "The chief art the Buffo- lo, or U'UJ lU-i-f ; the Tyger; the Deter; niul tho Bonrumusc. The Buffelo Is Wild Beast of America which has a fluucli ou his Buck. Theso monsters arc- found to weigh (as I am luformed by a Traveller of Credit) from 110O to 2 W0 weight.

Thsy Are ValusbU For Preserving Ae tlolis of Food, the fern plant, which grows almost everywhere. Is sn excellent preserva tive for packing articles of food, fruit, etc. People who bsve lived la Eng land know that tho English have used It successfully for msny yesrs. Val uable fruit, fresh butter, etc., are no longer seen In tue English markets pscked In grapevine leaves, but almost Always lo fresh fern leaves, which keep the articles excellently. This Is done where grapevine leaves are to bf had In abundance. Every one posted well In botany knows tbe high preserv ative power of fern leaves wllh refer ence to vegetable and animal sub stances. Oa the Isle of Msn fresh herrings are packed In ferns and arrive on tbe market In as frenh a condition ss when they were shipped. Potatoes pscked In ferns keep many months longer than others packed only In straw. Ex periments msde with both straw snd fyrn leaves In the snme cellar showed surprUIng results In favor of ferns. Wlillo tho potatoes packed In straw mostly showed signs of rotting In tho sprlug,. those In ferns were as fresh as IS .1. J. ...A I .... II UVf UIIU JUKI VVVIl uug. Fresh meat Is also well preserved by fern leaves. It would seem as If the highly preservative qualities of fern leaves are due to their high percentage of salt.

Well, your letters ore all safe. Tho villagers rarely write letters, and as I have to rldo on my donkey four miles to tho railway station to catch the mall train yon don't suppose for one moment, Cj ym:, l!i:it I cm going to undertake this pilgrimage every day with your stupid letters?

Martin Littleton, the famous lawyer of New York, Is one of a family of nineteen children, so they say, born to a heritage of poverty and pluck. When he was a small lad down In Texas he fell Into the creek one day, and Mi chael, the next younger brother, ran whimpering to Littleton, the elder: "Dad, dadt Martin Is drowning!" ' "Martin, Martini" repeated the father of nineteen. Then he turned dubious ly to hla wife. "Norn," he Inquired anxiously, "have we d Martin?" ' It Grew and Grew.
