The Bursting OF Dam Near East Lee,
Mass, Results In Terrible
Calamity.
Twelve or Thirteen Persons Drowned and
Property Worth S25o,0OO Ut
terly Ruined.
LsprIngfeld fMass.l } tolegram.l

An awful calamity, the result of careless
ness, took place this morning at the village
of East Lee, in Berkshire County. The
dam at Mud Pond Reservoir gave away,
causing the death of eight people, and
wrecking property valued at $3.50, 900
or $200,000. The dam, which was situated
two and one-half miles from the village,
had shown signs of weakness for some
time. The persons responsible or owning
the privilege OF its water supply had been
notified, but nothing was done. The pond
covered many acres of swamp, and was in
creased from its original limited size by
extensive dams built by club of manufact-
urers as storage place for water. The
torrent where the dam burst gushed forth
in resistless stream and rushed down the
valley, outlying out channel from fifty to
two hundred feet in width. The villagers
got their first news of the accident by see
ing the flood pouring down the street, the
water being from four to five feet deep, and
bearing with it trees, parts of houses and
barns, fences, wagons, and every form of
movable property. The people fled to the
slopes of the valley, along which the tor
rent was pouring, and saw the houses
moved and toppled about like chips on the
river.
There was not much of life or many
buildings to be lost till the village was
reached. Here il wrenched Edwin Sturgis
barn, swept away bridge spanning the
brook, which is but small as it runs natur-
ally from small pond, and then rushed
down the channel of the stream on which
the dwellings and manufactures are located.
Couch q Oakley's millwright shops, John
Dowd's mandatory of paper machinery,
and A. N. Whites carriage shops were all
destroyed.
Mr.. Whites family consisted Of himself
ana WtrS, 40 ssAAd 40 ~1l, a: II,
their daughter Ida, and baby son. They
were in bed when the food struck their
house, and were all killed by the crash of
the building and also sunk in the waters.
Theodore King and wife and Mrs. Chas.
King rushed from their house to escape,
and were carried of by the flood and
drowned. The house was not destroyed.
Simon Dowd, 60 years old, was drowned.
Further down the stream John McLaugh-
Inns machine shops, Harrison Garfelds
Forest and Farmer Decker Sabin's place
were ruined. The boilers and all basement
machinery were taken out by the flood. and,
though weighing tons, were carried like
corks. John Veran's paper mill was also
gutted in the basement.
The food passed East Lee and went on
down rhe road, destroying lawns, gardens,
fences, and moving smaller buildings, but
had not power to utterly wreck large
house, though the damage done amounts
to many thousands of dollars. Probably
the total loss will exceed $4,000.
A great many hands are thrown out of
employment. There is much excitement
and grief.

British Races.

DR.. John Beddoe has published the
results of thirty years. study of the
races which make up the population Of
Britain. He takes county by county
from the Shetlands to Cornwall and
examines all available statistics after
personal acquaintance with the inhab-
itants, measuring heads and noting the
color of skin, hair, and eyes. He places
great reliance on the latter, thinking
that "the color OF the hair is so nearly
permanent in races of men as to be
fairly trustworthy evidence in matters
of clinical descent; and that nearly as
much may be said for the color of the
eyes" Artists will find curious con-
clusion in his volume-namely: that
the darker-skinned portion of the pop
ulation of Britain is gaining on the
blonde. He holds that the Gaelic and
Iberian races of the West, mostly dark
haired, are tending to swamp the Teu-
tonic of England by reflex emigration.
This may account for the wide differ
ence found by the tourist between the
average Briton whom he sees and the
typical Briton of the pictures.

The jews in America Americans.

1t is mistake and blunder to make
Judaism in America anything but
American. Maintain it as Polish, Ger
man, Portuguese, Hungarian, or Rus
sian, according to the ideas of foreign
rabbis and laymen who continue for
eign, and you ALLEVIATE young Israel.
Young American-born Jews and jew
esses, as rule, will never sympathize
with foreign phase of their faith.
There may be certain pietat for their
parents sake, but warm conviction and
enthus asm will be lacking. Here, on
American soil, we propose to drop
what is local and provincial. We shall
carve out as good record as our an
cestors in other lands. We do not
wish to concern ourselves with foreign
shibboleth. We shall maintain Jewish
essentials, but we shall think for our
selves and act for ourselves; for Eu-
rope has little to offer toward the solu-
tion of problems which it, too, finds of
profound difficulty. American con-
servatism should not allow itself to be
measured by the foreign rule.-Je,0ish
Messenger.

The Agreeable Guest.

The Swedenborgian theory that each
person has his sphere" which is per-
ceived AS an effect of whose cause one
is ignorant, is theory quite borne out
by experimental experience. Cur likes
and dislikes are very largely founded
on matters as intangible as were the
reasons of DR.. Fell. Nowhere is this
truth so strongly felt as when receiving
a guest in tete-a-tete in ones own apart
ment. The friend who is what the
Italians call sim paticG, a quality for
which there is no English equivalent,
Is the rarest of blessings. One does
not expect this of the average five hun
dred friends who may yet be very en-
tertaining, and be each warmly re-
garded by the hostess. But there is n
type of woman who is the most dis
agreeable of guests, and from whom
one turns away instinctively without
being able to give any very tangible
reason why. Out of sight she may not
be altogether out of mind, nor by any
means outside the circle of ones
friendly wishes for her best prosperity
and enjoyment. But in personal pres
ence she is an irritating and jarring
force. 1t is the woman who is so crude
and obtuse by nature that she does not
even know she is crude; the woman to
whom the fine art of conversat on
is as unknown as is the sculptor's
power to the stone-mason; tho
woman who goes rough-shod over
all your preferences and tendencies,
and is so crude that she never dreams
wherein her rudeness lies. Her con-
versation consists largely in series of
direct questions, and of the most inap-
propriate conclusions drawn from tho
answers she forces from you. Her
presence is like a material weight in
the atmosphere, and on her departure
you are ready to ring the Joy bells of
relief. In delightful contrast is tho
agreeable guest, the woman whose cul-
tivation is so fine that it invests her a.
with an atmosphere; whose converse
tion is that of subtle art, so suggestive,
so stimulating, that it opens vista of
all high and delightful possibilities.
Calling upon her you are entertained
not with conventional remarks of wind,
or weather, or social movements, but
with some fine thought suggested at
the moment. Perhaps you have had
an experience of this kind you will
never lose out of your life. You had
called on lady whose parlor was in
the hands of the decorators, and whose
paintings and bric-a-brac were, for the
time, removed, with one exception.
On the mantel rested a fine French
photograph Of Millet's picture of the
earth-a stretch of level land, the sun
sinking below the horizon, and in the
far distance a shepherd with his flock
The picture is new to you, and in reply
to word of comment the hostess ex-
presses her recognition of the subtle
spiritual meaning portrayed in this
work, and you go out from your call
refreshed, uplifted. It was only q
word, a glimpse, yet il opened to you
new vistas. Such friends arc gift of
the gods, and such experiences are
among tho endearing influences OF life.

A REVERE BY MOONLIGHT.



The world Is wrapped In calm ropose,
And night puts ON her sable gown,
The moon above the hills Is rose,
And twinkling stars are shining down.
The afr is laden with perfume,
And ON the breeze sweet odors blow
OF flowers that ON the hillsides bloom,
And I'm the woody dells below.
The cricket chirps within his cell,
The bull-frog lends his doleful croak,
The FREELY lights his way TO tell,
The night-owl screams nom out the oak.
The sheep-bell tinkles I'm the fold,
The cows within the barnyard lie,
"he watchdog barks warning bold
AS some belated swain goes by.
The gentle zephyrs kiss my brow
And drive away all thoughts Of care;
My life IL free from trouble now,
And rest and peace instead reign there.
A holy silence round me clings
As the night does about me close;
Great Joy and happiness 1t brings,
And nils my soul with sweet reposo.
The hush Of calm and silent rest
Envelops now the sleeping earth;
The sons of toll are sweetly blest
With happy dreams OF JOY and mirth
Oh, what a blessing Is the night
That steals upon us unawares;
II heals the wound of Hunger's bite,
And lulls to rest our weary cares.
In Dreamland's soothing, kind embrace
We sleep the peaceful hours away,
And visions bright and lovely trace
Till night becomes a golden day.
And when lifes curfew sadly tolls,
And we no more see days bright beams,
All let us hope our ransomed souls
viii sleep the sleep Of happy dreams.
