A KNOW NOTHING ALARM.

The Waterville Mail tells the follow
ing story about the steady oll TO ough of
KendalPs Mills-which is not bad for
country latitude.
Mrs. Soberly went to bed precisely
at nine o'clock, thinking it passing
strange that her good man.had not made
his appearance just ten minutes before.
Of course he would be home in min
ate and half, or two minutes at furth-
est, and Mrs. Soberly left a lamp burn
ing on the hall table. There it burnt
and burnt-but she must tell her own
story, as she told it next morning to
about thirteen of her most confidential
friends.
Well, there that lamp burnt and
burnt, till as near as l can guess, twas

~ A little girl had been playing in
the street until she had become pretty
well covered with dust. In trying to
wash it off she didn't use enough water
to prevent the dust rolling up in little
balls upon her arms. In her trouble she
applied to her brother, little older than
herself, for solution Of the mystery
It was explained at once-to his salts
faction, at least:
"Why. sis, you're made Of dust, and
if you don't stop, you'll wash yourself all
away" d
This opinion, coming from an elder
brother, was decisive, and the washing
was discontinued.
