No Shame.

1t is Il misfortune to be poor, but
not crime-unless one keeps up APP
pearance at the expense of others,
contracting debts he cannot pay, etc.
This trying to seem what we are
not has become the bane of society,
and, like what is called mimicIy am
ongst insects, produces a nondescript
race difficult to define or assign to its
proper place in the order to which it
evidently belongs. OF course, we
are not advocating the exposure of a
mans business affairs to everybody
with whom he comes into business or
friendly relations; but we do hold
that he has no right to pretend to be
better off in worldly goods than he is
in fact; for to do so is deception
which is but another name for dishOn-
esty. By strict economy, and the
adoption of a manner of living suita-
bic to our means, the pressure of
of poverty may be removed in time
To be sure, it is hard to deny ones
self the luxuries of life, and resolute-
ly turn from all expensive pleasures.
But it must be done if wealth is to
be gained. There is pleasure in self
denial that majority of our people
never experienced, and it comes in
most gloriously, and is extremely sat-
isfactory to the one practicing it,
when he can say, 81 owe no man
and at the same time has
a hundred dollars in his pocket, but,
wanting some article costing two, he
refuses to purchase until, through
the other hundred is csb
tanned. 1t requires some corEagA~to
adopt such system of liviug
dealing, but it has this as a recon-
mendation, it is perfectly safe and
honorable, and deceives no one.

What The Balloon Has Done.

The proportion of balloon accidents
| to successful descents has, on the
whole, however, been probably small
er than should have been anticipated.
Blanchard, the first to take up bal
| looming as vocation, died in his bed,
in 1903, latter having made sc ascents
without accident. Many ascents have
been made in the cause of science !;
and the names of Green, who made
over 400 ascents; of John Wise,
who made the distance from St. Lou
is, Mo-, to Jefferson County, Ny,
1920 miles, in 20 hours of Gay
Lussac and Blot, who in 1904 made a
most valuable series of meteorologi-
cal and physical observations at the
height of 10, 90 feet; of Glaisher, who
rose to 1000 feet with the aeronaut
Coxwell; and especially, recently, of
the brothers Tissander,- all these
are familiar to every one.
In1794 the balloon was used for mil
itary purposes by Gen. Jourdan, who
secured continual observation of the
Austrian movements, and thus gain
ed the battle of Fleury. The French
are also reported to have used
the same method in the battle
of Solferino. A balloon corps was
organized by Gen. Mcclellan at the
outbreak of our own Civil War, 1861 !;
and the use of balloons was one of
the regular and daily means of OBJ
tanning information Of the movements
of the enemy. During the seige of
Paris, the balloon became the only
means of sending dispatches out of
the beleaguered city, and proved to
be very reliable. Of all the balloons
sent out from Paris, over 60 in num-
Der, but were lost; and they prob
ably, simply because they were des-
patched at night to avoid the risk
from the fire of the enemy, which, as
the event proved, was far less dan
erOus than darkness. Every govern
ment probably now has balloon
corps.

CIV hatIO clock is It?''

When | was a young lad my father
one day called me to HIM that he
might teach me to know what O'Clock
it was.
He told me the use of the minute
finger and the hour hand and describ-
ed to me the figures on the dial plate
until was perfect in my part.
No sooner was | quite master of
this knowledge than set off scamper-
ing to join my companions in a game
of marbles : but my father called me
back again.
''Stop, Willie said he; 81 have
something more to tell you
Back again / went, wondering what
else had got to learn; for l thought
| knew all about the clock as well as
my father did.
g Willie," said he, 81 have taught
you to know the time of day / must
now teach you the time of your life. !"
| waited rather impatiently to hear
how my father would explain this fur
ther lesson, for | wished to go to my
marbles.
1.-The Bible," said he, "describes
the years of man to be threescore
and ten or fourscore years. Now, life
is very uncertain, and you may not
live single day longer; but if we
divide the fourscore years of an old
mans life into twelve parts, like the
dial of a clock, it will give almost
seven years for every figure. When
boy is years old, then it is o'clock
of his life; and this is the case with
you, When you reach IA years old it
will be 2 o'clock with you and when
at 81, it will be 3 o'clock: at %, il
will 4 o'clock at So it will be o.
clock at AZ, it will be o'clock; at
40, it will be o'clock, should it pie
ase God to spare your life. In this
manner you may always know the
time of your lite, and looking at the
clock may remind you of it. My great
grandfather, according to this calcu-
lation, died at II o'clock, my grand
father at IL and my father at 10. At

Happy Adam and Eve.

When you come to think of it cool
ly and calmly after the lapse of all
these years; Adam and Eve were
pretty fortunate people. Adam new
er had to run dead beats with the
house dog. He didn't even have to
sit in the parlor and talk politics with
Ewes father. When they quarrelled
and Eve climbed tree, Adam didn't
have to write long letters and spend
hours of anxiety and postage stamps
to make it up. All he had to do was
to sit down under the tree and wait
until Ewes temper had recovered it's
normal sweetness. He never patron
lied confectionery stores; he merely
went to the nearest fruit tree, pluck
ed nice ripe pineapple, and present
ed it with his compliments. Theirs
was beautiful dream of welded life.
When Eve wanted a new dress AID
am went to the nearest fig-tree and
got it. And Eve never felt called
upon to mend a bursted button hole
or help Adam hunt his button
or take all the blame because he
stumbled over the rocking-chair. 1t
was monopoly on unadulterated COM
Portland if Eve had only had enough
feminine sagacity to lift up her skirts
and scream, and run when she saw
the snake,we wouldn't be having all
this trouble now.

and tied a string around the mouth
of it in chair. The good lady took it
and tied it on, and dressed herself for
| church. She bribed her husband to 90
with her, though he is sort of Bob
Ingersoll christian. As they went
down the aisle the minister was read
ing a hymn about "Sounding the
Loud Hosanna" and the lady went in
the pew first, and sat down while her
husband was putting his hat on the
floor. There was report like distant
thunder. You have heard how those
COMPOUNDED paper bags explode when
boys blow them up and crush them
between their hands.
Well it was worse than that, and
everybody looked at the husband
who was standing there a perfect
picture of Amusement. He looked at
his wife as much to say FNow this
is the last time you will catch me in
church if you are going to play any
of your tricks on me. You think you
can scare me into getting religion
The minister stopped reading the
hymn, and looked over his spectacles
at the newcomers as though it wonld
not surprise him if that bad man
should blow the church up. The poor
lady blushed and as much to say 81
did not know it was loaded" and
she looked the hymn-book over for
the hymn, and as the choir rose to
sing she offered one side Of the book
to her husband, but he looked mad |
and pious, and stood at the other end
of the pew and looked out of the
stained-glass window.
After the service they started home
and as they turned the first
corner he said to his wife; FWell,
you played the dickens on your watch
didn't you?' She said there was no
such thing in the Bible, but that she
would make that boy think there had
been no revision of the Bible when
she got home. We only got the story
from the husband. He said he didn't
know what it was that made the noise
until they got home, and after little
around his wife held up
a busted paper bag, and asked the
boy if he blew that bag up. He said
be did, but he did not know there
was anything about it. The boy and
MS mother and press board paid
visit to the back kitchen, and there
was a sound of revelry. Boys will be

1t was a California woman who in
vented a baby-carriage, which net
ted over $40, 900; while to Mrs. Cath
crime Greene, the wife and widow of
Washington's ablest officer, is due the
honor of inventing the cotton-gin,
which is one of those distinctively
American inventions the value and
Importance of which have been recog-
nized by the whole industrial world.
There is the reaper and mower, the
idea of which came into the brain of
Mrs. Ann Manning of Plainfeld, n. j,
to whom is also accredited a clover
cleaner. Mrs. Manning seems to
have stimulated the inventive genius
of her neighbors, for a few years af-
ter her reaper and mower was paten-
ted Mrs. Elizabeth Smith of the same
state took out a patent for an i'm
provement on this machine, being a
device for changing the knives with
out stopping the wheels.
One of the most complicated ma
chimes ever made is that for the man
ufacture of REINFORCED bottom paper
days. 1t is so curionsly ingenious
that how it was contrived passes the
ordinary comprehension. 1t was the
invention of Miss Maggie Knight, who
from it and other inventions in the
same line realized great fortune.
A street-sweeper of great merit was
devised and patented by New York
lady, who had a costly dress ruined
by the mud splashed on it from a de-
fective machine. Most remarkable
of all is the invention of Mrs. Mary
B. Walton for deadening the sound
of car-wheels. She lived near the
elevated railroad in New York, and
was greatly annoyed by the sound of
the roaring trains passing her house.
The most noted machinists and inven-
tors of the country had given their
attention to the subject without being
able to furnish solution, when 10, a
woman's brain did the work, and her
appliance, proving perfectly success
full, was adopted by the elevated
roads, and she is now reaping the re-
wards of happy thought.

Don't SCULPTOR the sake of
your children, don't scold. 1t is a
great misfortune to have children
reared in the presence and under the
influence of a scold. The effect of
the everlasting complaining and fault
finding of such persons is to make
the young who hear it unamiable,
malicious and callous hearted, and
they often learn to take pleasure in
doing the very thing for which they
receive tongue lashings. AS they
are always getting the blame of
wrong doing, whether they do it or
not, they think they might as we'll do
wrong as right. They lose all ambi-
ton to strive for the favorite opinion
of a fault finder, since they see they
always strive in vain. Thus a scold
is not only nuisance, but destroy
Ell of the morals of children.

Gentlemen Il called the attention Of your
predecessors IN office, through the columns
Of the Sentinel to an omission upon their
part in not giving to the public an annual
statement Of their receipts and disburse
ments and urged them to do 50 before re
firing from office. This request was not
needed, and now appeal to you to comply
with it. The law provides for such state
ment and it is as much your duty to furnish
it as il was theirs The books and nc counts
you have should furnish you with all the
necessary data Tor this statement and it
would not require much time for your
Clerk 10 prepare it,
The provision of the charter is clear and
proper. 1t provides for such statement as
all public receiving and disbursing officers
are required to make, and it is not enough
10 tell the citizens Of this town that the &C
counts have been balanced and that the
town is over four thousand dollars in debt.
What | want to know, and what the tax
payers of this town are entitled to know, is
how many dollars the old board received +,
and from what sources they received it, and
