CHEAP FOOD IN MAINE.
Many of the newspaper.articles
on the cost of yachting are gross
ly exaggerated. You can live
very well on the Maine coast at a
cost of four dollars a -week per
mouth, says Country Life in
America. This involves catching
a certain amount of fish yourself
and likewise digging clams and
quohogs. I assume, however,
that you will find those pursuits
a part of your pleasure.
Fresh vegetables, fruits, eggs
and wonderful milk may be ob
tained of the natives at mirth
provoking prices. For example,
a peck of green peas picked while
you Avail may cost 21).cents, or a
quart of milk a-ml a half peck of
new potatoes may come to a
quarter, with rhubarb and soda
'biscuit thrown in to make good
measure. Fresh meats, of course,
can be had only at the larger
harbors, but unless truly epicur
ean in taste you will be content
to fill out the menu with occa
sional canned supplies.
ABSINTHE BONBONS.
Recently the cantonal govern
ment of Vaud, Switzerland,
passed a law prohibiting the sale
of absinthe. As the people of
Vaud were the best customers of
the Neuchatel distilleries, these
were badly hit by the law, and
eo sot about out maneuvering it.
The result is “absinthe bon
bons,” which are now being
placed ou the market. Four of
them will make a drink when
broken into a glass, and a spe- j
cial law will be required to pre- !
yent their sale.
Not a Bargain Counter.
Office of the county t reasurer.
The fair taxpayer picks up her
receipt, but thinks there is more
change coming to her.
“Is that all?” sin1 asks.
“Yes, ma'am,” replies the cash
ier. “We’re not giving out trading
stamps to day. Next!”—Chicago
-Tribune.

Barbarous ancient custom.
An English court lifts sen
tenced ft woman to imprison
ment because she refused to
speak during a trial. The old
penalty for remaining mute un
der similar conditions was being
pritesed to death. The form of
sentence set forth “the prisoner
shall be laid in some low, dark
house, where he shall lie naked
on the earth and one arm shall
be drawn to one quarter of the
house, with a cord, and the other
arm to another quarter; and in
the same manner let it be done
with his legs; and let there be
laid upon his body iron and
stone, as much as he can bear—
or more.” There the man had
to lie. On the following day he
was given three morsels of
bread without water; on the fol
lowing, water, but no bread.
And this was his diet until he
died.
STRANGE COINCIDENCE.
Readem—Hello, old man!
You’re looking smiling find hap
py’this morning. What’s the
cause?
Writem—Why, my new play
was presented last night.
Weren't you there? Too bad.
Really, you missed the greatest
first night of the season. The
audience applauded till their
hands were sore.
Readem—Good! Shake!
Writem—Much obliged, but
I’m breaking in a new pair of
gloves and my hands are rather
tender.—Pacific Monthly.
KNEW WHAT WAS THE MATTER.
Cynicus—The two-faced deity
should have been a goddess in
stead of a god.
Francus—Why?
Cynicus—Well, women are
more often two-faced than men.
Francus—Oh, I don't know
about that. I don’t think they
fire.
Cynicus—Well, I do. They
