If lliey are dumped here, and I make
a pretty penny out of them. Tliey are

"Corks are another perquisite of
mine. Many and many an old broken
bottle on this dump had a ?ood cork lu
It. I get 8 cents a pound for nil the

"Old shoes are never too oM to be
sold. They have always one (food

of good leather cut out of them nre
made Into purses and wristlets.
"Kggshells also have value. Some
thing like 1,(KI.()00 pounds of eggshell
are used every year In the manufacture
of kid gloves and print calicoes.
"Do yon see those e'ghteeu barrels

THE PORCUPINE.
In Ilia I.IUIiik For Suit nn Acquired
or a Nuturnl Tantef
Some men who were camping lu the
Adlronducks several years ago on
breaking camp lu the autumn left nn
old tub which wns saturated with
salt brlno. On returning to tho same
rump the next year they found that
the tub had been gnawed until little of
It was left. They were not long lu find
ing out what animal hail done the
work, for the camp was overrun with
Canadian porcupines. At night they
became such a nuisance that the camp
ers were obliged to kill them to protect
their property. The handle of a pnddle
was gnawed half through.
The explanation of their presence in
such numbers during that year, when
they had not been noticeably abundant
In the previous year, Is that they had
made a rendezvous of the camp, being
attracted by tho old brlno tub. On
this they feasted all winter and for
that reuson were greatly pleased with
m Ieeallty.
An Interesting query Is this: Is the
liking for salt an acquired or a natural
taste? Were they ever ablo to gratify
that taste to any extent before man
Have them a chance to do so? St. Nich

Florentine Ilcpuhllc.
The Florentine republic had n unique
method of dealing with Its too ardent
democrats. In 12U3 the state passed
the famous "Magna Chnrta of Flor
ence," to curb the cruelty and rapacity
of the lawless nobles, who, lu deOanco
of tho law courts, were accustomed to
flog and torture their dependents at
will. The act practically disfranchised
these titled harpies by a clause which
excluded them from tho Bignory a
body in the state correspondjiitf to the
British cabinet unless they renounced
their nobility.
This curious provision prepared the
way for a still more extraordinary
clause, which enacted that any member
of the democratic party who made
himself obnoxious to the government
and was by them declared to be "guilty
f treason to the common wealth" ahould
be given a patent of nobility and thus
at the same moment be raised lu the
social scale and reduced to a political
nobody at the will of the state'. Lon

The Nonrlahlno; Chcatnut.
The London Lancet finds that the
chestnut Is the most digestible nut and
cannot only take the place of the pota
to, as In France, where chestnuts, boil
ed and mashed like potatoes, make a
doliclous dish, but In reality they are a
more perfect form of food. According
to the Lancet's analysis of the potato
and the chestnut, the latter contains
less water, more proteld. more fat and
starch, but less mineral matter, than
the potato and Is more digestible than
the latter. Like the potato, also, Its
nutritive and. digestive qualities are
greatest when baked or roasted.
When It opt Ilea Die.
A Viennese naturalist declares that
nearly all reptiles that dlo from nat
ural causes close their lives between
nightfall and midnight, only a few be
tween midnight and morning and few
er still In daylight. Most reptiles seem
aware of their approaching death, seek
ing out particular places and tliere
awaiting the end, while thoso whoso
lives are spent underground come to
the surface before death.

The Verdict.
Records of tho ancient city of Gor
ireana, founded In 1040, better known
at the present time as York Harbor,
Me., contain many quaint and unusual
stories of the early life of tlie town.
At tho entnthee to York harbor a
bold promontory known as Stage neck
extends some distance Into the sea,
from which formerly lu stormy weath
er a temporary light in the form of a
lantern hoisted upon an uptight pole
was displayed as a warning to marl
uers. One dark winter night a sloop was
wrecked on these rocks. A survivor on
being questioned about the catastrophe
said:
"The vessel struck, turned over on
her side, and the skipper and another
barrel of whisky rolled overboard."
The local coroner was summoned,
anil tills somewhat startling verdict
was returned:
"We find that the deceased fell from
the lirastheatl and was killed, ne
rolled overboard and was drowuetl. He

Loonier Mortality IIIh.
A lobster lays thousands of eggs, .1
most of which hatch, but few ever live
to grow up. This Is not the fault of
the mother, for site carries them about
with her for nearly a yeur and with
admirable Instinct guards them as she
does her own life. When tho young
are sot free her duty Is done, for they
must then shift for themselves. Though
hardly largor than mosquitoes, being
about one-third of an Inch long, the
little ones leave their parents on the
bottom and swim toward the light to
the sttrfaee, where from one to two
months, If fortune favors thorn, 'they
lead a free, roving life. The open sea
Is a poor nursery for such weaklings,
which become the sport of every storm
and the prey of numberless hungry
mouths. Out of a brood of 10,000 It
would -be a rare chance for more than
one or two lobsters to reach maturity
or Anally to end their career lu tho
kitchen or the chafing dish. St. Nich

Stale Ilrcnd Una;.
A traveler says that a curious weak
ness of grownup Moors Is the love of
eating newly baked bread. The cald
of Azemmoor, In Morocco, discovered
that okl bread wus thrown away as
wuste. To waste food Is a serious of
fense In the eyes of a Moslem. The
cald of Azemmoor therefore issued a
bylaw prohibiting the baking of bread
upon ono day In each week. The citi
zens, he declared, must eat up the
bread already baked, and ho fixed
Wednesday as the "bltalah," or holi
day. The I.oniret Novel.

illiKllah Trlaon Pita.
Prison pits were vaults lu which
criminals in England were kept nt
ulglit, chained together. There was
one at Bristol which was in use us
lute at J815. Down eighteen steps. It
was only seventeen feet In diameter
by nine feet high, and seventeen men
wire consigned to it every night Even
uiore typical was Warwick jail pit,
which was occupied at least until 1707.
It was an octagonal dungeon twenty
one feet lu diameter uud almost nine
teen feet underground. In the middle
was a cesspool, and beside It ran a
steeiim of water which served the pris
oners for drinking purposes. To this
awtnl cell forty-two men were con
Blfcnatl every afternoon at 3:45, to ro
nwln there until" after daylight the fol
Ivwlng morning. The Inmates had to
sleep on their sides, and their Jailer
never visited them without guarding
hhmtelf with an antidote against sick
ness. ' The Ueodnnd.
Peodatid (Latin, Deo dandus, to be
given to God) was formerly in English
law any agent or Instrument by which
a person was accidentally killed and
which for that reason was to be given
to God Unit Is, forfeited to tho king to
be applied to pious uses and its value
distributed In alms by bis high almon
er. Thus a kind of expiation was ar
ranged 'for such fatal accidents as
sstxht be due to the fall of a Indder,
V toss of a bull or the heavy wheel
f a cart, wtieu the victim was, wlUi
ot any fault of his own, deprived of
ma Inst sacraments of Uie church. The
right to these deodands, which were
abolished In 184(1, was frequently
granted to individuals or annexed to
lands.

A Story of Tennyaon.
Dante Kossetti used to tell a story of
Tennyson, with whom ho was walking
one sultry summer night through High
Holhoru. They passed a building bril
liantly lighted up and from which Is
sued the sounds ' of Joyous music.
"What Is that place?" asked the bard.
"It Is called," replied Rossettl, "the Hol
born casino." "I shquld like to look
in," pursued the bard, "only I should
be nt once surrounded by a crew of
groundlings, who would mob nnd pes
ter and Jostle me." "My dear sir,"
quietly remarked Dante, "If you were
to get on one of the tables, announce
your name nnd recite three of your
poetic masterpieces into Uie bargain
probably not 2 per cent of Uie audi
ence would have the slightest idea of
wsso y.ou are."
Three Methods of Derlalon.
There are very few allusions to
storks In Latin authors, ' but one of
these Is Interesting. The birds have a
curious custom of snapping their bills,
making quite a sharp noise. Young
and old birds, both during and after
the breeding season, constantly do tills.
In Uie writings of Perslus there is a
reference to Uils habit. "There are,"
he says, "three favorite ways of derid
ing a man by putting Uie bands be
side Uie head like asses' ears, by put
ting out the tongue like a dog and
snapping the fingers against Uie palm
of Uie hand like a stork's bill." The
first two nieUiods of mockery are plain,
but what was Uie cause of Uie last?
