An analysis of the strange mixture which spurted ten feet in the air when Henry (lagan was digging a flench on the Ahmzo Pavls place at Norridgcwock a few weeks ago show that it Is the finest peat.. So finely separated are the particles that the substance after the water evaporates from It is nearly all car bun It hardens quickly, and wher in this state burns readily. Hagan was digging a trench through a piece of low ground when he struck the vein. It spurted into the air with a rush that drove the men from the trench. The substance) was so fine that the men thought It contained oil, but the analysis -showed this con clusion to be erroneous. About ten tons are In sight, and !tis believed that there Is a still larger deposit under tha surface. These sup positions are borne out by thefact thnt the stuff spouted out like an oil well for a while, Indicating that somewhere it Is under great pressure from a clay or other deposit. Women FW-fore the Pope. Most people know that It Is etiquette at the papal court for women, what ever their rank, to appear in black, but few know that an exception to this rule Is made for the Pope's sisters and niece, all of whom are privileged to wear white at the audiences and Church ceremonies, hut the old ladies do not avail them selves of the relaxation of an ordi nary rigid regulation, though the niece makes a point of wearing white when attending parnl functions, her mantilla as well as her dress beln as white as snow. Another little known point of papal etiquette Is that women who come to the public or prtvate audiences must keep the right hand uncovered: indeed, tt is even more correct for both hands to be ungloved. in, Rival Irtgtiltle.
