Centenary of Samuel Owen.

Stockholm has been celebrating the
centenary of Samuel Owen, man
whose memory is still held III deep
respect on account of the impetus he
gave to the development of commerce
and navigation. 1t was by him that III
1916 the first Swedish steam vessel was
launched, his idea being taken from the
works then going on on the Clyde. He
used form of propeller, b 1t 1T did not
work we'll and in 1917 a Tessel with
paddle-wheels was launched, and Others
followed in rapid succession. Owens
Iabors endeared him to his work-people,
and mention is also made of his efforts
in the cause of temperance. An Ill
memoriam monument of granite was
unveiled at Stockholm Jew weeks ago,
In presence of large assemblage, the
King and Cabinet being represented
In the inscription on the monument
Owen is named 1.-the father of the
Swedish fleet" He was born in Eng
land in 1771, from which country he
emigrated to Sweden at the age of 20,
with G1OO in his pocket.

Twelve Children in Twenty Months

The SharpsviIle pa Advertiser
quotes the following statement from
another paper: eve have before us a
clipping from copy of Liberty Hall,
published in this city i'll 1916, where u
most marvellous phenomenon is related
the name of the physician being given
OF Mrs. John Kelley, of Mercer
County, Pa, who had just given birth
to five children, that being the second
effort of the kind within twelve months,
OF ten children born within the year.
And the Advertiser adds this; g Mrs.
Kelly, referred to above, resided IN
Lackawannock Township. Mrs. Wal
lace, now residing in this place, remem-
ber8 the circumstances of the birth of
the ten children very well, having been
present on both occasions DR.. Magof
fin, of Mercer, was the physician. Mrs.
Kelly died about Il year after this event,
but III the meantime had twins, having
given birth to twelve children within
twenty months Mr. Kelly is still liv-
ing. and now resides in Sharon.

Value of Enthusiasm.

Life is an inconceivably beautiful
thing, SO soon as we reach that point
whence we can look out uponit, through
a clear conscience, and character we'll
bufleted by experience. The one diff
fuses a pure heavenly light over all the
strange and complex mass which meets
the eye, the other tones down our en-
thusiasm without destroying its vlgor.
Enthusiasm is to the character, what
blood is to the physical life, without its
lassitude, and finally, death ensue.
Upon its quality, however, depends the
beauty or deformity of the life 1t nour-
ishes Ideality is at the bottom of the
true enthusiasm the striving after per
lection makes the great artist, the no.
BILE philanthropist, the self-sacrllieing.
The idealist soon discovers how easy 1t
is to appear civil, courteous, resrecta-
bic, virtuous how difficult to be truly
benevolent, tolerant, and charitable F;
but is never satisfied, earnestly engaged
in acquiring the best he sees.

gar over them, and pour boiling water

Put them In the stove and cook modcr-
ately fast until they are nicely Drowned.
The butter, sugar and water make a
nice sauce, which can be enriched with
more butter, and favored with nutmeg

PIEPLANT Pres. Never stew your
pic-plant before making Peel

half inch lengths, holding several stems
in the hand at one time With these

sized ple-moisten with a great spoon
full of water, dust over this a little dry
flour, TO thickon the Juice q little, cover
1T with the UpDer crust and bakeit slow

rich for some stomachs and there is a
way of dispensing with part of the SUI

Not by the use of soda No, indeed
But pour boiling water over your sliced
rhubarh. letting 1T stand ten or fifteen
minutes. Pour this Of and make you

How To Quiet Horses.

According to a discovery made by
Prot. Shift, OF Florence, discovery
which has been pushed beyond him by
many others, 1t was found that ii was
quite enough TO touch the nostrils of a
horse, simply passing the finger along
the side OF the nose. to stop the activity
of the heart and respiration, and stop
consciousness in a measure. He did
not find, but left another To find it..
that lnterchangcs between tissues
and blood Is also stopped. 1t is
well known now that most of those men
who succeed in quieting violent horses
put their fingers 10 that part. and
sometimes INSIDE the nose. Merely
touching these parts may have some
effect. It is not essential that the APP

prescription is to make a tea of wood

of water. Steep a short time to get the
strength, and pour down the throat
through a horn or thick glass bottle
This Will counterfeit the acid of the
stomach occasioned by over eating.
