Mr; Waldo says that at Bridgeporta large amount of seed is being sold and there ha ve been as many as twenty boats lying in the harbor all at once this season, buying seed. Not only will there be a large amount of seed marketed from the native oyster beds, but the natural beds promise to yield large quantities of small oysters. These oysters wintered excellently and - are turning out very good, as a result of the catch so far. He says that there have 'been seasons when the famous Bridgeport and Stratford beds yielded 500.000 bushels of good seed for. the market. ‘ . deuce. Senator John H.

I gave him a 25 cent bottle of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, says W. P. Holden, merchant and postmaster at \Vest Brimfield, and the next time I saw him he said it worked like a charm. This remedy is intended especially for acute throat and lung diseases such as colds, croup and whooping cough, and it is famous for its cures. There is no danger in giving it to children for it contains nothing injurious. For sale by E. P. Weed, druggist. -—An advertisement in the GAZETTE is a, sure winner. Try it and be con- ,vinced. Ts.;EvEx 'ing BLOOD SPOTS IN APPLES. Peculiar Phenomenon Noticed In a Per- ticular Variety of Fruit. _ A peculiar species of fruit in the Nor— wich (Conn) market is the “Mike” ap- ple. It has a. fair skin, an excellent flavor and is extensively propagated thereabouts. Each individual apple exhibits somewhere in its pulp a. red speck. like a. tinge of fresh blood, and thereby hangs a. strange legend. The apple. says the New York Her- ald, obtains its name from Micah Rood, a farmer who lived upon the outlands of the Connecticut town in the eight- eenth century. The son of Thomas Rood, one of N orwich’s early settlers, Micah tilled the soil with all the zest of youthful ambition. . ' But of a. sudden his habits changed; "he grew idle, restless and intemperate. He lost all interest in both work and workshop. His cattle were neglected and his neighbors shunned. Some at- tributed the change to witchcraft; oth- ers to insanity. ‘ Winter wore away, spring returned,- and the orchard of Micah Rood burst into blossoms. On one tree, it was then observed, the floWers had turned from white to red; The superstitious neighbors wondered, especially as Rood seemed drawn to this. tree by some re- sistless. fascination. . August came and the red blossoms developed into fruit. When the large yellow apples fell from the branches each one was found to cOntain o. well defined globule, known thereafter. as “the drop of blood.” The freak of, the apple tree deepened - the mystery of Micah’s behavior. Con- jecture followed surmise, and soon it was remembered that during the pre- vious fall a foreign peddler had passed through Norwich and passed the night at Micah Rood’s. He had never been seen again. the young farmer had murdered him for his money and buried the body under the apple tree. _ Search was made for the body of the stranger, but in vain. Nor was any trace of his stock found among the pos- sessions of the unhappy 'Mieah. If a load of crime rested upon the con- science of the suspected farmer it never forced a. confession from his lips. His. farm drifted gradually into decay, and, too broken down to reclaim it, he wan- dered about town, disordered in mind and body. He died in 1728, but while the blood- spotted apple continues to grow his name and history will be perpetuated. THE QUICK LUNCH. It Is Responsible for the Prevalence of ' Indigestion. The prevalence of indigestion in America has been variously accounted for, iced water and sweets being two of the favorite explanations. But as a. matter of fact it is not so much what one eats as the way in which one eats it which works the mischief, and in America the way is a. standing affront to the art of gastronomy. For in what other country than America, as a writer in the London Critic very pertinently asks, would the legend “Quick Lunch” . prove an attraction to the hungry " man? A foreigner (especially if he were a. British workman) would regard it in the light of 'an insult. .A Frenchman will do anything in a hurry except eat, and, in consequence. his digestive ap- paratus does its duty. But the aver- age American seems to think that the time spent at table is wasted. Indeed, the writer in the Critic declares that it is the commonest thing to see- men bolting their food at a. lunch counter, not to get back to the business, but in order to loaf about the streets till the mid-day interval is spent. Even those who enjoy more leisure show a. similar disregard for the high art of dining, and an American lady has been, heard to say that she thought the nicest way . to live would be to go to the pantry when you were hungry and take a bite ’ of something, but that to sit at table was a. sheer” waste of time. “Ten min- utes for refreshments,” in fact, was her idea of rational refection. least is one of the things which we manage better in the eifete old mother country. Record breaking is all very well, but it is a. bad-ideal to aim at where speed in eating is concerned. Here, at any rate, the policy of Glad- stone is above reproach. His Specialty.. Perhaps to be admired for mistaken virtues is harder to bear with patience than not to be admired at all. There isastory of an artist whose clouds were very highly approved by the public until they learned that the strokes were intended to represent a. cascade. Another instance of mis- taken appreciation is told of the painter; constable. He was ‘one day leaving the Royal academy where he had been busy with his colleagues of the hang- committee in arranging the pictures for the exhibition, and at the door he met Sam, the porter, who had been helping with the mechanical part of the work. They had just been mov- _ ing into place one of constable’s own landscapes, painted in his character- istic manner, and full of the spots of light which he was accustomed toin'h? troduce into his pictures. :~ . “Well, Mr. Constable, sir,” said Sam “that’s a picture of yours, sir! Wonder- ful, sir!” “Glad you approve of it, Sam,” said the artist, feeling in his pocket for a Shilling wherewith to en- courage Sam’s taste. “Wonderful. sir!” repeated the man. “I never see snow painted so natural in all my life!” Bringing the Moon Down. It is a very difficult but highly inter- esting undertaking which a. certain M. Mantois has in view for the Paris exhi- bition of 1900. He proposes to con- struct a. telescope nearly two hundred feet long, with an object glass more than four and one-third feet in diame- ter. By means of this enormous lens he hopes to bring the moon. to all in- tents and _ purposes, within six miles of the gay French capital, and to be able to throw the image of the ‘moon, as it would look at that distance, upon a screen night after night in a. hall hold- ing half a. thousand spectators. Some one suggested that' Here at. . - u l , . DABIEN. The Darien selectmen were taxed $7l.59 costs by the clerk of the court in the famous mandamus suit. Yesterday they appeared before Judge Hall of the Superior Court and asked thnt the costs be reduced. He knocked off 815. So; loot-man Waterbury who favpred hold- ing a special meeting to elect a collect- or, thinks he should be exempt from pflying any portion of the costs. 'The court wouldn’t pass upon that question. +.—_—_ SEVERAL English writers have en- deavored to prove that the Indians are the descendants of the Ten Tribes. Most of the arguments are drawn from customs-which the authors in question regarded as peculiar to the Jews, but were, in fact, common to the early stagesof the human race. " 4QUR NATIONAL WEALTH.
