-The annnal meeting of the Stafforf

 The annual meeting of the Stafford Agricultural Society at the Stafford Springs House on Saturday last was very well at- tended, although the day was unpleasant. The premium list was turned over to The Press for publication, after very little overlooking, and any complaints will be heard and needed corrections ordered at the adjourned meeting which was voted in connection. The old officers of the society were reelected, B. T. Converse, the secre- tary, declining to serve longer, owing to his removal from the, village, and it was voted to defer the election of his successor until the adjourned meeting. A vote of thanks was passed to Mr. c, for long and efficient services, and he was added to the board of directors. Mr. Converse was active in starting the society and has been a worker in it eyer since its organization. The treesurer's report showed gives re- ceipts of the late fair to be $4, 800. The premium list printed in this paper is copied from the books, and presumed to be cor rect W. D. Holman was elected to q membership of the state board of agrieul- lure. @1'5 % asi4-'

A German paper quotes Ranger Ge- rucke, of Breslau, as saying the story of German forest trees reaching 1000 years of age is fable. Even the age of the so-called Historical" trees-700 to 800 years-is not established, while no Ger man tree has reached such an age in . sound condition. He says that the great est age is reached by coniferous trees and not by foliage trees. The oldest found tested by the annual rings have reached an age of from 500 to 570 years, these trees being the red pines of the Bohe- milan forest and the pines of Finland and Sweden. The silver frs in the Bohemian forest showed an age of 429 years. The larch, as found in Bavaria, has given an age of s74 years. The oak appears to be the oldest of leafing trees, the oldest ex- ample being found at Aschaffenburg- viz, 40 years. The oldest red beeches are 245 years (Aschaffenburg) and 226 years (Weiswasser). The maximum ages of other trees are as follows: Ash, 17O years; elm, 13o; birch, 16o to 200; asp tree, 210; red alder tree, 145; maple tree. 224.

An Ofiio man'by the name of Samuel V. Essick has invented san electrical type writer which transmits messages by wire long distances, and it was, exhibited to . number of capitalists, electricians and newspaper men in New York recently. It is a simple arrangement with keyboard, which, when key is touched, brings the right letter down on sheet of paper which moves along automatically at one side, so that words are printed as by an ordinary type writer, and the machine at the other end of the wire acts in unison, printing the message in the same way. It does all the work of the operator at the ordinary telegraph instrument. It is in tended by the company, which owns the patent, to put it in use in the manner of the Bell telephone instruments, connec- tions to be made at central office. Mrs. Jones, of New York, will be able to cal
 up Mrs. Brown, of Philadelphia, and while Mrs. Jones is talking Mrs. Brown can be dressing the baby and reading the message from the machine. Every read CT of message has it duplicated for him co1f ~.

A head and face like a Bartlett pear, nose spreading all over like batter cake, or two or three maca- rooms run together, no eyes, and mouth that made one think of jelley fish or some such thing that squirms and opens and shuts that one sees in the aquarium. Oh, I declare, was perfectly dumb, and felt like fool. I could not for the life of me think of anything to say"

A London Public School.

One of the miserable districts of Lon- don is to be found in Somers Town. Blocks of Improved Dwellings" and sundry measures taken by the parish ,su- thorities have recently reformed it to . considerable extent. Yet it remains . haunt of poverty. The petty tradesmaD is the aristocrat of the neighborhood. The police in it's streets are all picked men. The swells who go ''slumming" through it, according to the fashion of the season, are looked at by the patient eyed poor with the same wonderment that butterflies in it's alleys would create.
 In the midst of this sordid district stands handsome new Board School. It is as large as an average fortress of an cient times Its bounding walls contain a space of two acres. Within the intri- cacies of the play-grounds and covered courts and ground floor passages the visit or becomes bewildered. It reaches . height of many stories. And here, every day 9, 200 poor children are being endow- ed with the inestimable benefit of sound education. It is indeed quite town in itself, filled with Lilliputians, who can exhibit at times remarkable free dom of speech and action. Their psrents chiefly come under the following catego- ries: laborers, 355; cabmen, 97; coalmen, 9s; charwomen, 7s; joiners, 30; portera 45; painters, A; carmen, A; stokers, 90; bricklayers, S1; gas stokers, 25; stable men, 25; blacksmiths, 25; factory men, 23; needle-women, 2a; shoemakerA g. i; slaughtermen, 21; railway servants, a1; costermongers, 19; bakers, 17; milkmen, 16; tailors, 10. Among the others are sweeps. potmen, cat's-meat vendor, huckstArs, drovers barmaids, barbers plumbers, sailors, nsangle-wem etc, etc. The social state of the people send ing children to this school may be indi- cated by the single feet that, out of their number, 415 families ilthabit only ono room apiece, and l,OSe ishabit hosnes of two rooms.

B. B. Barnhill, of Joggin's Mines, Cumberland county, Nova Scotia, has under construction an immense raft for the purpose of carrying to New York about 3, 900, 900 superficial feet of piles, logs, spars, hardwood timber, and boards. Its dimentions are: length 40 feet, width fifty-five feet, depth thirty five feet, and it will draw twcnty-one feet of water. The raft is being built upon a well-constructed cradle, which will be launched with the raft and re- moved from it in the water, leaving the raft with its chains and binders to sup port itself. The structure is torpedo
 shaped at the bow and stern, and cross section amidships will be of the form of an ellipse. When completed it will weigh 5000 tons. The weight is so dis tributed over the four sets of launchways as to exert pressure of eighty pounds to the square inch, which is about two thirds the pressure allowable on ordinary launchways. About one-sixth of the cargo has been slowed. When completed the cost will be about $2O, 900. The raft is to be lowed to New York by an "ocean tramp" or by two tugs, as soon as launched, which will be about mid summer. Should Mr. Barnhill's engi- neering skill prove equal to his enterprise and courage in planning an undertaking so novel in operation, he will have pro- vided cheap method of water carriage for the products of the forests. Many persons view the scheme with increduity, and predict that it will be failure.

Bill Nye on Halos.

the halo which you say you see in so many pictures is not worn at the present time anywhere, especially in this climate. In the early history of the world people went bareheaded, then they began to wear the halo, and after that gradually adopted the laurel wreath, and later on the plug hat.
 People seem to have grown less and less robust as the country grew older and civilization advanced farther and farther. A cherub would fly for days with a pair of light summer wings and never feel the cold, but gradually people began to leave their measure for clothes, and then the next jump was chest protectors and fur overcoats. It's all habit; and yet a man who would attend winter carnival at St. Paul wearing nothing but an old fashioned halo with hole in it would attract attention

Apache Characteristics.

The Apaches and kindred tribes are among the most cautious fighters on earth, and also among the most desper- ate. Near the close of last year band of Chiricahuas numbering eleven killed twenty-one friendly Apaches living on the reservation, and twenty five white men, women and children. Their supe- riors as providers in war probably never existed. The army officers in Arizona declare that the Apaches are the ideal scouts of the whole world, with their hawk eyes, stealthy motion and sensitive ears. Though undersized, they have broad, deep chests, muscular limbs, and small, wiry hands and feet. They march about four miles an hour, haltlng after few hours' tramp long enough to smoke cigarettes. If no matches are at hand they bring fire in from eight to forty-fve seconds by rapidly twirling between the palms hard, round stick fitted into circular hole in another stick of softer fiber. They will march forty miles a day on foot across dry plains and precip- itous mountains regardless of the tiercest heat. The Apache finds food where the Caucasian would starve. He can catch turkeys, quail, rabbits, doves, field mice and prairie dogs; feast off dead horse; gather acorns from the stunted mountain oak roast the Spanish bayonet or cen tury plant, and strip the fruit and seed from the cactus; dig the wild potato or bulb of the tule; raid the nest of the ground-bee; or, if driven to it, keep down the pangs of hunger with the inner bark of the pine or the roots of wild plants. With the rife and bow he has a life training. 'sEvery track in the trail, mark in the grass and scratch on the bark of tree explains itself to an Apache. He can tell to an hour almost when the man or animal making them passed by, and, like hound, will keep on the scent until he catches up with the object of his pursuit."
