flowers placed upon the graves of de-

The selectmen of all the towns of
this state should bear in mind that the
last legislature passed an act requiring
all the towns to provide check list, to
be completed thirty days previous to

after no one can vote for state and
county officers except in the town of
his residence, and not then unless his
name is on the check list. This is an
important change and should be noted
by both tie people and town officials.

The following, which is too good to
be lost, was handed us by q friend to be
republishcd:
SAY WAIT YOU MEAE. Let your
friends know that you love them. DO
not keep the alabaster boxes of your
love and tenderness sealed up until
your friends are dead. Fill your lives
with sweetness. Speak approving,
cheering words, while their hearts can
hear them, and while their hearts can
be thrilled by them. The things you
mean to say when they are gone say
before they 20. The flowers you mean
to send for the collins send to brighten
and sweeten their homes before they
leave them. If my friends have ala
bastcr boxes laid away, full of per-
fumes of sympathy and affection, which
they intend to break over my dead
body, | would rather they would bring
them out in my weary hours and open
them, that | may be refreshed and
cheered by them while ! need them.
| would rather have a bare coffin with
out Il flower, and q funeral without an
eulogy, than a life without the sweet
ness Of love and sympathy. Let us
learn to anoint our friends beforehand
for their burial. Post-mortem kind
nesses do not cheer the burdencd spirit.
Flowers on the coffin cast no fragrance
backward over the weary days of our
lives Elk.

The Interdependence Of Nature
Professor Huxley.l


The interdependence of all the phe-
nomena of nature is such that q SEEM
ipgly unimportant discovery in one field
of investigation may react in the most
wonderful manner upon those which
are most widely remote from it. The
investments Of science bear compound
interest. Who could have imagined that
a curious inquiry into the relations
Of electricity with magnetism would
lead to the construction Of the most
delicate instruments for investigating
the phenomena OF heat; to means Of
measuring not only the smallest inter.
walls of time, but the greatest depths Of
the ocean; to methods Of exploring
some Of the most hidden secrets Of
life? What an enormous revolution
would be made in biology if physics
or chemistry could supply the ply
siologist with means of max
ing out the molecular structure
Of living tissues comparable to that
which the spectroscope affords to the
inquirer into the nature Of the heaven.
ly bodies. At the present moment the
constituents Of our own bodies are
more remote from our ken than those
Of Sirius in this respect. In the next
place, the vast practical importance
of the applications of scientific
knowledge has created a growing
demand for technical education
based upon science. II this is to be
effective, it means the extension of
scientific teaching to all classes of the
community, and the encouragement and
assistance Of those who are fit for the
work of scientific investigation to
adopt that calling. Lastly, the attrac-
ton Of the purely intellectual aspects
of science and the rapid growth
Of a sense of the necessity of
some knowledge Of the phenomena of
nature, and some discipline in scientific
methods Of inquiry, TO every one who
aspires to take part in, or even to un.
derstand, the tendencies of modern
thought, have conferred q new status
upon science in the seats of learning.

NEW ORLEANS, January l5.-Some
time ago Joe Flowers, negro living
in Bienville parish, La, was attacked
by party Of white men and severely
beaten. The negro got hold Of wea-
pom and killed Dick Hayes, one Of the
assailants, and escaped to Mississippi.
A few days ago a party Of Hayes's
Deighbors discovered where Flowers
was living and went to that State and
arrested him. They conveyed him by
rail to Ruston where they left the cars
and cut across the country for
Vernon, with the ostensible pur-
pose Of landing Flowers in jail.
A short distance from Ruston, how
ever, they were met by another party
Of white men provided with rope, and
preparations were made to lynch the
prisoner. Flowers broke from his cap
tors and fled, followed by shower Of
bullets, one of which struck him in the
shoulder and another in the hand. He
made his way to Ruston, claimed
protection Of the authorities, and was
placed in Jail. Wednesday it was
apparent that an attack would be made
