There Is the New Englaud golden brown kind, baked, with plenty of corn fed pork und something more than a dash of "molasses, for some 24 hours, over a slow, steady fire.

Beans are -the great staple of tho lum ber camps, of the coasting vessels and vherever convocations of hungry men gather together to sotisfv their appe tites, But about the great and only institu tion of Blue Hill. It was aBf back in tho sixties when the Linscotts went to Blue Hill. They were brlckmakers from llnckensnck. One of the family, while on a visit to some of his people In Blue Hill, chauced to get mired in n mud puddle and while scrap ing the clay from his boots noticed that the consistency and grain was that of the finest brick clay. He prospected a little and found that the hills about the place were of the same kind of clay and that and of prime quality was close at hnnd. Blue Hill bay was a natural harbor. There was a steady demand for bricks everywhere, and so it was that the Lln ecotts went to Blue Hill and. started the brtrltmnklttjr business. The llackensnck people were enterprising, and their crew of employees grew larger and larger until It absorlied nil the available natives, and It was necessary to import men from the neighboring towns. This necessitated a boarding house, and so it was that Mrs. Llcscott's big four story frame house be came the shelter of 40 or M nblcbodied men with enormous appetites. They were Dot particular as to the menu so long as there was plenty of food, and Mrs. Lin Scott'blieans were pronounced just about right. Although the house was equipped with a spacious I. rick oven, what with the bread and pies and puddings and other things the capacity was considerably Strained. Mrs. Linscott was complain ing of this when her husband, "Ole I)nve" Linscott, said he'd see about it. He talk ed the matter over with the foreman, and so It happened that one Saturday ufter noon when work was a little slack the crew turned to and built an enormous arrangement in the Linscott doorynrd. It was like a huge brick oven as much as anything else. They called it a "benn kjll," because it was not much of any thing else. The ftrelxx was arranged to take four foot wood, and the arrange ment of Hues und drafts was the result of many conferences nud the consensus of opinion of nil the expert brick burners of the works. "Build 'or big enough," said David, and It was big enough for hundreds of benn pots. The "kill" was n great success. Noth ing was ever seen like it. No such beans ever tickled the palate of a hungry brick worker as came out of the Linscotts' benn kiln. Then the neighbors' began to bring their benn?, just as a sample order. And when they brought them once they did again. Finally the "kill" became so extremely popular that thrifty David thought there might be a chance for a "spee'lation," nnd so a fee of a cent per pot was established. And this was the origin of the kiln. The original structure bus been rebuilt and altered many times. The Linscotts got rich and moved back to New Jersey, tut thflr successors kept up the kiln. The price has been advanced with the in creased price fit wood, but the custom Las not fallen off, as more people have moved in, end the town hns become a fa mous summer resort. And now of a Friday night all the youngsters of the village may be seen about inset heading for the "bean kill" with the family benn pots. Id the summer time buckboard loads tt guests from the bine liiK inn drive down and peer into the fiery furnace Where "Shadrach."

A Com plicated 'abject Successfully aad Practically Discussed. "Woman," eald the old codger during one of his meditative spells, "is per petual paradox, a chronic conundrum wlthont an answer, an unknown quan tity possessed of unexpected possibilities, a perennial prlre package of peculiar po tentialities, a couveutlclo of characteris tic contradictious aud au auiaranthiut aggregation of other attributes which are not alliterative. "She is man's greatest earthly blessing and the cause of most of his misery. She Is his chief Inspiration to tht achlevcmeut of all that Is good, grand and glorious In this world and at the same time a lubor saving device to heir him make a fool of himself. She soothci his tired nerves with the coo of her gen tle voice, but she always has tho last word Iu every controversy with btin and, incidentally, about VI per cent of tho pre ceding conversation. She brings him luto the world aud In a few years later talks him to death. "Most of muu's trouble la caused bj womau, but so deftly does she pile tht load on him that whenever his burden ol trouble is lifted he wunders uueasllj about hunting for more; otherwise thert would I very few second wives. Sht will cheerfully go to the stake for tht truth's sake and lie about her age with out even being asked. She will grovi weary of au indulgent husband, but will cleave uuto death to the man who beati her regularly. She will break her heart because a man does what she dou't want him to and love him all the better for ec doing. "She scorns nil advice in the selection of a husband, but takes two other women along to help her pick out a hat. The less actual comfort to tie obtained from a thing the more enjoyment a woman gets out of its possession. At 10 she is a young woman; at 23, if still unmarried, she Is a girl. She will face the grim specter of death without a tremor and swoon at the sight of a mouse. The ouly time she ever does what you expect het to do Is when you expect her to do Just what you ihm't expect her to do. The sole reason why she does anything It simply liecausc she dou't know why she does it. Shu jumps at conclusions and always lunds ou them squurely, for the simple reusou that when the conclusion skips to one side, thinking to avoid her, it gets exactly In her way. She Is the dearest thing In all the world aud the most aggravating. She Is as she Is, aud that's all there is to do about it. The only man who ever fully understands a woman Is the man who understands that he dou't understand her and has got sense enough to let It go at that. fuck. CEREMONIOUS OLD PEOPLE. Thejr Are Scandalised by the Lack ol Iteancct Shown Xowadaya. Every now and then an elderly married couple will le met who address each oth er with the statelliiess that was custom ary half a century ago. The husband Is "Mr. Smith" to the wife, and the wlfo It usually "Mother" to the husband. Nothing less conventional is ever heard from then Indeed, neither might hove a first name for all the use that his better hall makes of It. "1 Just couldn't call your fathei Charlie," a quiet little woman said the other day, In answer to her dnughter'i Killings. "W by, It wonldn t be respectful I never did in my life, and I certainly wouldn t now, when you all are grown." "But what did you call him when yon were engaged?" persisted her Inquisitor. "Yon surely didn't go around then calling each other Mr. Smith and Miss Jones. "We didn't always," replied tho little woman evasively, "but I liked to give him his title even then it s more respectful much more respectful." "I'd ruther have more affection and less respect," said the daughter rebelliously. "It doesn't sound as if you had anything but a bowing acquaintance with him when you say mister all the time. In going to call my husband Fritz, whethet It's his name or not, it has such a jolly air." Aud the average married couple of this day und age, with n fine disregard for respect and old fashioned courtesy usual ly call each other by n nickname of vary ing degrees of beauty and which has oftentimes a remote connection with the one given them In baptism. But, aftet all, one likes .this way better than the stiff conventionality which led a woman all through a married life of CO or 40 yenrs to address her liege lord as Mr. Smith or Jones or Brown, Just ns though he were verily her master nnd she were living in mcdiu'val times when exaggerat ed politeness marked the Intercourse be tween men and women.

CLEVER WAV IN WHICH THE KING SNAKE DOES THE JO& A Battle to the Death la Which LlRhtnlnc Swiftness aad Muscle Were More Than a Match For Ven omous Fsims That Couldut Strike. If the rattlesnake Is Justly called the king of America's woods aud rocks, yet his crown is not held without danger, since lie is hunted diligently and success fully. His fangs lire indeed deadly, aud he wears a tine suit of armor, but the deer and the wild hog uever fall to at tack him, aud he has an enemy of his own kind still more dangerous to him. Snakes may be divided Into three class es, those which are venomous, the con strictors and those which are wither. Vnless the second of these are wonderful for their size they secure little of our at tention, and yet they are generally beau tiful in colors, most graceful In action and often among our best friends. In Florida we have two constrictors es pecially noticeable, the slack racer, which grows to the length of 12 feet and makes a business of warring on rats, aud the king snake, whose mission seems to be the extermination of the rattler. One day I was returning from a day's hunt, at pence with the world and myself, when I heard a squirrel scolding as if he were a wurd politician the night before election. The noise he made was so loud and Insistent that I turned out of my way to see what could be the matter. I found the little fellow on the trunk of a pine about ten feet from the ground, jumping about as if In convulsions. He would flourish his tail wildly, scold In anger, threaten au assault, ruu back a little way up the trunk and then return and scold again. I looked carefully and saw that his an ger was directed lit a rattlesnake that lay coiled at the foot of the tree. The snake was compressed into a ball, from the middle of which Its rattle sounded con tinuously. Its blazing little eyes were fixed unchangingly upon those of the squirrel. The buxx, bur.x droned on the summer nlr with a sleepy effect, but tho squirrel scolded In an ever ascending key. But for the hint of the squirrel's eyes I could not have located the rattler. His color nnd his variegated markings offered but little contrast to his surroundings. His monotone of noise was indefinite, nnd to sight as well as In Bound he seemed ouly a blur on the background of dark sand on which he lay. Was the squirrel only curious to satisfy himself ns to the character of that strange object or was he hypnotized? I hove often amused myself by exciting tho violent curiosity of the little animal, but never did a waving or jumping object awaken such intense and painful emotion as the rattler always demands. I knew what must follow soon that the squir rel's cries would grow weak; that he would grow dizzy and finally tumble from the tree, hang a moment by one claw and then drop Into the Jaws of the living death that lay in wait. I had raised my rifle to save the little fellow, when the trogedy wns Interrupted from another quarter. Swift ns light a form raced on the stage. It wns clothed in a gleaming coat of beautiful white aud black spots. It shifted nud shone like a necklace of pre cious stones, nnd I knew the king snake claimed a victim. The newcomer was smaller than the rattlur, its ground color was a greenish gray, and the spots scin tillated In the sunlight which sifted down upon the scene from the tangled branches overhead. At the first rustle of its ap proach the rattler lost oil interest in the squirrel, which ran back into the tree. The king snake held his head high nnd raced round the rattler In a wide circle, while the rattler tried to slink nwny. The king darted forward as If to attack, and the rattler threw himself Into a coil. The king wus again nwny nnd racing around with a swiftness the rattler seemed una ble to follow with his eye. The rattler was cowed already. His crest was low ered, his buzz, buzz was Jerky and un even, and although he presented a very different appearance from the self confi dent arbiter of the woods which he bad seemed when I first saw him 1 could think of nothing but some human bully surprised In the act of torturing his help less victim and suddenly compelled to face nn adversary worthy of his strength. The king snake seemed to enjoy the situ ation as a cat does her cruel dallying with a mouse. Bound nnd round went the king snake, and the rattler followed the movement till its neck was twisted. Whenever it attempted to turn, the king would spring forward, and it was evident that the first failure of the rattler in swiftness would be the signal for muscle to clinch with venom. The king would race from left to right nnd then reverse, nnd if the rattler failed to follow that would be the end of him. This happened, and I saw the king Iu the nlr, but could not catch the strike so Instantaneous was it. There was a confusion of flying pine needles Iu n cloud of white dost, nnd I saw that two Inches of the king's coil was about the throat of. the rattler. Over anil over they went, the king's head above that of his enemy and a curve of Ills lmdy acting as a buffer to keep up the motion which enabled him to take another turn nnd still another. And so the struggle continued till the rat tler could not writhe freely, and he was held ns a vine wraps n tree. ' When he lay still, the snake began to uncoil himself slowly, nnd nt every mo tion of his enemy the constrictor's folds contracted nnd crushed with killing ef fect. Even when there was only a quiver of the tail the king still gripped the throat. It was plain lie had a wholesome respect for the fangs that were still terri ble. As a last precaution the king ap plied his nostrils to those of the rattier nnd repented that several times as if to detect the faintest breath. Satisfied at last, it released its enemy, but still watched, ready to resume its hold nt the slightest si;:u of life. There I left him, keeping grim guard over the body of his vanquished foe.

"Speaking of delicacies." snld an old rcterao of one or the Louisiana r-giments the other afternoon, "the highest living that ever fell to my lot was during three weeks In the winter and sprlug of 1"5 that I spent In the trenches at Peters burg. I don't mean to sny that the bill of fare would greatly appeal to mo now, but at the time of which I speak I thought I was living In royal style." The reporter to whom he wns talking remarked at this polut that, while he had not been there at the time, ho had al ways understood from those who had that tho trenches of l'etersburg did not afford much scope for the gormand. Then the velcran continued: "It came alnnit In this way: There were eight of us In our mess, and all of us ex cept one had managed to get through the winter with some sort of coveriug for our feet. We called them 'shoes' then, but I don't suppose that the term would be used by ninny people of the present generathn who are used to pateut leath er, Tlcl kid and tan shoes. The eighth muu, however, hod gone barefooted from November, 18(14, until the middle of Feb ruary, 1S0.Y I dou't know how It came about, but he was finally issued a pair of new shoes. The day the shoos were given we all gathered about him and ex amined them with curiosity, and, it must be confessed, a rather envious Interest. Our messmate looked at the shoes, then at his bare feet aud then at us, as If de bating a serious problem. TTieu he snld: 'I'll tell you what we'll do. I've gone barefooted for so long that I reckon I can stand it now until summer. If two of yoa fellows will tnko these shoes aud trade 'em off for something to cut, I'll moke a contribution to the bill of fare of the mess.' "That night two of us slipped out from the trenches, got through the Yankee lines aud went 20 mill's out In Dinwiddle county to a gristmill. We suecivded In trading the sIum for two bushels of cornmeul and bore it back Iu triumph. Well, sir, for two weeks our mess lived like lords. Three times a day we hnd common 1 'coffee, cornnieal cakes and cornmeul gravy, and I reckon when we surrendered at Atomnttox wo were the eight fattest Confederates Grant ever got hold of." Louisville Courier-Journal, SAILORS AS SWIMMERS. Why Jack Tnr Drowns When He Falls Overboard. "In The Stnr recently," sold a captain In the Uulted States navy, "I saw a dis patch which recounted' the death by drowning of seven men in a single day In the wateis surrounding New York, of whom two were sailors, one a potty offi cer on a yacht. "To a landsman It appears strauge that nil sailors are not swimmers, but the converse of the proposition Is more apt to be true, and men ashore, especial ly those who live near water, can usually swim. "Jack ntlont does not take kludly to water, and, though he speuds his life up on it, he seldom gets In it, nnd when he does he is apt to go down. I explain the Incongruity by advancing another one. which Is, that they do not have the oppor tunity to learn, nnd they are, as a rule, disinclined to do so In auy event. Throw a man overboard, and if he has not learned to swim he sinks. All of the lower animals swim naturally, from au elephant to a kitten or a puppy. Man has the same sustaining power, but the mental Influence of the fear of death is so overpowering that he flounders, his mouth and lungs fill with water, and he sinks. "lecp water snilors, always on ship board, cannot learn ns a mnn may ashore. The latter learns when a hoy or goes to the liench or river nnd picks It up stroke by strcke, but there is Initially a bottom upon which his feet may rest. No such opportunity Is offered on board of ship with the fathomless ocean be neath the keel. "In the United States and other navies swimming is a compulsory part of a sea muu's education. Our landsmen aro trained by expert swimmers. They are placed In slings In the first lessons and dropped from the boom into the ocean, where they nre taught the stroke. Some of our jackles have no nptltudo and at liest make Indifferent swimmers, while others take to the water like ducks.
