NEWS AND NOTES.

WHEN acorns are short out West the
hogs are put at half-mast.
EXPLORER Stanley is said by compe.
tent judges to have adopted the customs
and manners of the tribes which he has
discovered
JIMMY LIND made 100000 in Amer
lea, which sum has been doubled by iu-
dicious investments made by her hus-
band, Mr.. Goldschmidt, who is con-
verted Jew.
A WOMAN testified in Reading court
that often, while her body slept, her
spirit wandered to various distant places,
including heaven and hell but the jury
wouldn't believe her.
IT is ascertained that there are nearly
seven hundred Indians now ON the war
path. They comprise the Bannocks, the
Nez Perces (who were whipped few
months ago., the Shoshones, and the
Piutes.
In the good old times in Virginia the
Governor of the State once issued a
proclamation forbidding a woman to be-
troth herself to more than one man at
time. Men are not 50 plenty now-a-
days. Many girl is glad if she can
betroth herself to even one man.
HAVING regard to the number of
persons bearing the name of Smith in
England, it is somewhat remarkable
that there are, besides Lord Darlington,
but four holding three thousand acres
and upward, only three Browns and
but two Robinsons. There are seven
Joneses.
The atmosphere of London is vitiated
by the fumes arising from its innumer-
able coal fires. In a paper read before
the Society of Arts it was estimated
that the coal annually consumed in
London is over 100000 tons, equal at
one per cent. of sulphur to 10000 tons,
or as oil of vitriol, to 245,000 tons.
This is more than five times the amount
given off from all the sulphuric acid
works in the country.
The London Truth says very point
eddy if those spindle shanked, splay-
footed, narrow-chested, knock-kneed,
understood, ill-shaped hobbledehoys
that are to be seen loafng about the
neighborhood OF kingston-on- Thames in
badly fitting and much soiled uniforms
are to be taken as fair specimens of
our much Wanted British reserve forces,
we can not think they would prove very
serviceable auxiliaries in case of a really
great emergency"
PROOFS of former explorations are
found in various parts of the Black
Hills region, and it is probable that gold
was discovered there about thirty years
ago by several separate parties of adj
venturers, all of whom we're killed by
indians. The b mes of men and beasts,
mingled with rusted mining tools, were
in one place discovered within a rude
fertilization of rocks. In another spot
rotten sluice box, made of hewn
tree, showed that mining operations had
been carried on.
JOHN BAILEY and Henry Combs,
granddaughter of Ex-Governor Combs, of
Kentucky, we're students at Johnson's
Academy, near Bristol, Virginia. Both
were admirers of the same young lady,
and the Kentucky youth made the most
progress in his suit. The two young
men met alone in grove one day re-
Gently, both armed with pistols. They
fired five shots. Combs fell mortally
wounded by shot in the abdomen, and
died in few moments. Bailey is at
large. Both were popular and talented
students, ard the affair has cast a gloom
over the entire college.

The custom of kissing the Pope's toe
was introduced about 70S. Adrian
caused money to be coined with his
name, 70S. The first Pope who kept an
army was Leo TX, 1854. In 1877 Greg
DRY VII compelled Henry Nv, Emperor
of Germany, to stand barefooted in the
snow at the gate of the Castle Of Canosa.
The Pope's authority was established in
England in 1919; and in 1851 Henry II
held the stirrup while Pope Alexander
Ill mounted his horse. In 1871 Ceies-
tine III kicked the crown from off the
head of the Emperor Henry vi to show
his prerogative of making and unmaking
kings. Kissing the Pope's toe and
other ceremonies were abolished by
Clement XIV in 1878. The Pope was
deprived Of the remains of his temporal
power in December, 1870.

ARTIFICIAL flower makers have pro-
duced faithful copies of peas in the pod,
strawberries imbedded in natural leaves,
and trailing sprays of the scarlet-fewer-
ing bean, with the bean and the scarlet
flower on the same stem. One of the
most original bonnets of the season was
composed wholly of strawberries at their
various stages Of growth from small and
green to large and brilliant red. The
leaves in which they were partly hidden
were so strictly copied that they could
only be detected by the touch.

ing enough fuel on to keep them burn

thirty men to build q strong fence at the
hole, thus keeping them in the Enclosure.
He has slaughtered a great many, but
there are about one hundred yet. He

The recent growth of Paris is in re
markable contrast with former years.
In the reign of Henry III, during the
sixteenth century, it contained about
$4,000 houses. About two hundred
later, in 1850, the number had only in
creased to 100000 In 1917 there were
but 26,751 in 1884, $4,000. In 1873,
after a lapse of only forty-four years,
there are 1928. IL IT,

l think perhaps the little readers of your
paper would like to know how the children
of Grange No. ~ enjoy their meetings. We
used to think chat Grange night was pretty
dull, when our papa and mama and big
brothers and sisters went off to Grange and
came home and talked about the nice time
they had, it made us feel a little bit jealous.
But they finally concluded to admit the lit
tie ones once a month, and now we look
forward to the children's night with a great
deal Of pleasure. | do not know that ! can

When we go we have to stay in the school
house, which is a very short distance from
the hall, until they get through with bust
ness. Of | ever live to be a Granger | will
remember how long the hours seemed while
we were waiting. although we generally
have nice times while in the school house.)
In Il little more than an hour they called
us. The first thing was some select reading
by MIR. Bull, which was rather too deep for
Us, but we heard others say that it was very
good. Next was a song, 1.-THE Child's
'Wish,' by four little girls, Lizzie Hayden,
Alpha Wright, and Nellie and May Switzer,
soprano, and Horace Bull, alto then a
couple of declamations, and also a song by
Master George Hayden IA little boy eight
years old), "An Old Mans "Reminiscences"
which was received with much applause.
We enjoyed 1t very much, and were sorry
when they said 1t was time to go home. |

CHURCH NOTES
Those Fire Escapes.

A correspondent of the Sunday Times says
that with the exception of the third window of
the Museum, there is the sane chance in case
of fire to go upon the roof Of adjoining build
ings there ever was. Then have the managers
and agents of the Museum Systematically de-
ceived the papers and the public; for they
have re peatedly assured the people of Portland
that the theatre is better protected than any in
New England. The assurance contained in
these words was given to the PRESS by the
Museum agent as long ago as December, 1876,
and we were Furthermore told by him that fire
escapes had been constructed leading from the
Museum auditorium to the fiat roofs of the
adjacent buildings. Either these platforms
have been removed or they never existed. If
they have been removed, our statement the
other day Is correct. If they never existed, the
Museum people have been guilty of misrepre-
sentation with the view Of begniiing audiences
into an unsafe building. The PRESS having
assured its readers in good faith that the
Museum was provided with fire escapes, felt
bound to state as soon as it ascertained the
fact, 10 justice to itself aud to them, that the
escapes had been removed or were not in exist
encs As to the permanent and ample means
of egress," to which the Times correspondent
alludes, it is sufficient to say that similar
statement was made in the papers, on the
authority of the Museum, as long ago as 1876.
He can Judge, for he is familiar with evidence.
how much confidence the people can have in
the erection of fire esca pc that has been over
year in buil1ng, and is not flashed yet
Indeed, SO general is the apprehension of fire
that the matter has been brought to the atten-
ton of members of the city government, which
body will probably consider the advisability of
revoking the theatre license.

MRS. CHURcHTLL's LEcTURE.-IIast evening
Mrs Churchill of Providence gave very in
teresting temperance lecture at Plymouth
church. She did not have as large congre.
CATION as her lecture deserved. Her subject
was "Perilous Times," and in opening she read
from the third chapter of I'd Timothy; "This
know also that in the last days psrilous times
shall come. For men shall be lovers of their
own selves, covetous, boasters proud, Sc, Sc %
She thought the present was perilous time
and the chief reason for ii was that SO many
children are allowed to grow up 10 ignorance
and vice. She cited the case of the noted GRIM
inal known as Margaret, the mother of GRIM
inals," who directly and indirectly has cost the
city of New York million and fourth of
money the last seyenty-fvs years. The tale of
| boy eight years of age who has been often
| seen intoxicated in our own streets was related
The lecture was carefully prepared and
| showed evidence of much care in preparation.
1t was equally as we'll received by the congre-
| cation. Mrs. Churchill is an ardent worker 10
l the temperance cause and she is well received
/ wherever she is heard. She is good speaker
| and held thu attention Of her auditors closely
| throughout. At the close of her lecture a lib
| eral contribution was taken up for the Wo-
| mems Temperance Union.

Thomas, T. G. Hersey, Geo. W. Woodman,
Jacob Mcclellan and Charles E. Jose. Mr..

administration of the past year, compliment
ing both the Mayor and the Boards. He cited

squared up and nothing allowed to lap over in-
to the coming municipal year. Besides this
$4,000 had been carried into tha sinking fund
A resolution pledging the full support of the
party to the candidate was passed, and the
meeting adjourned.

The citizens of this village enjoyed quite a
musical treat on Wednesday and Thursday
evenings of last week, in the form of an Old
Folks concert, given under the auspices of the
Congregational society. The parts consisted
Of solos, duets, quartettss and choruses, all of
which were excellent, both in selection and
execution. Nearly one hundred singers partic-
ipatsd in the exercises. A flower table from
the Conservatives Of our florist, Mr.. Burr. add
ed much to the second evenings entertainment.
AT the close of the concert on each evening
the audience was invited to bountiful supper.
Those who ought to know said the costumes
were elegant-undoubtedly our great-grand.
mothers would have thought them fine, we
prefer the dress of rs. The financial o5jec,
of the concerts was to raise money with which
to cancel debt on the parsonage of the Con
gregatonal society, and the success of the
concerts is largely due to the enterprise of the
pastor and leading ladies of that society.
