1, 1890. He was q years old and was mar
ried to Miss Belle G. Clark of Bethel Sept.
n, 1887. During his long and painful
sickness, his wife watched over him most
faithfully and devotedly. Life was dear
to him. He desired to live but as he saw
the final shadow gathering over him he
calmly talked of the change awaiting him.
He selected his bearers, appointed the
time of day for his funeral, the place
minister who married him, Rev. s. A.
Parker, to conduct the services and desir-
ed the Sons of Veterans to do escort duty
and perform their burial service at his
grave. Asking his friends to sing hymn
in which he Joined, he soon breathed his
last breath in peace and in firm faith in
brighter world. His family faithfully
carried out his requests. His funeral was
held in the church at South Tunbridge
last Saturday forenoon and the house was
well filed. More than 30 members of
Camp H. E. K. Hall at Chelsea were pres
ent and performed for the first time their
beautiful and impressive rites at their
comrades grave. The camp is composed
of young men who acted worthy of their
noble fathers who saved our country from
disunion and national ruin. A son Of
veteran is gone. Many years ago his
father and mother died leaving him to the
care OF his grandmother who looked to
him ia her old age for the same kind ser
vice of love which she gave him in his
childhood. He leaves many friends. All
have kind word to speak of him and a
tear to shed over his death in early man
hood. His character and good name are
comfort to those who knew him and are
the best evidence of being disciple of
Christ Com.

Tunbridge.

A special town meeting to consider the
text book question has been called for
Saturday, the nth. The list of school
books selected for use in this county is
not satisfactory and this town in common
| with others is inclined to kick at the ac-
tions of the servant of the people who Sc
lected the list. Some ready reckoners
who are abroad in the state are proving to
their own satisfaction perhaps, but not to
the satisfaction of all the people, that the
cost OF the change Of books, to each fami-
ly, will be almost ridiculously small
Many OF the fathers who have to buy
books for several children have learned
by experience that the statements OF these
ready reckoners will not be sustained by
the booksellers. They know that in the
past six years the contract rrices were not
maintained but that there was, nearly ev-
cry year an advance in the price OF text
books. These men do not propose to get
bit many times.

Not the First DiscOyerer.

Hendrick Hudson was not the first
white man to sail the Hudson. An old
French map by Dufosse has just been re-
ceived by State Librarian Howell at AL
bany, y. Y, which shows that the river
bearing his name was known as the
Riviere Grande before Mr.. Hudson and
his bold Dutch crew gided over the
waters of it in the Half Moon. This map
is of great historical value, establishing,
ms it does beyond question, the location
of what was called Norumbega. Pro
fessor Eben Horsford has lately given con-
siderable time to locating Norumbega, and
finally decided that it was in the eastern
part of Massachusetts. This map, which
was made in 1905, locates Norumbega
in the vicinity of the Grande or Hudson
River.

Sound Shadows.

Still more interesting than the expert
ments of Colladon were those made in
the Bay of San Francisco in 1874 by Pro-
fessor John LIE Conte and his son, Mr..
Julian LIE Conte The source of sound
was not such as would give a definite
pitch, like a bell, but the quick, violent,
single impulse due to the explosion Of
dynamite employed in the blasting of
rocks which INSTRUCTED the channels The
intensity of the shock thus propagated
was such as to be felt as blow on the
feet of person seated in a boat three
hundred feet or more from the decorating
cartridge, and to kill hundreds of fish.
Several vertical posts or piles, each about
a foot in diameter, projected from the
ground out of the water in the neighbor-
hood. A stout glass bottle was suspended
in the water about foot in the rear o
one of these piles, within the geometric
shadow determined by lines supposed t.
be drawn from the cartridge forty fee
horizontally away. The bottle was per
fectly protected from the shock of the ex-
plosion. 1t was then put in front of tn
pile. The first shock shivered it into
hundreds of fragments. Other bottles,
some filed with air and some with water,
were similarly exposed in various direc-
tons around the pile, and with the same
result-destruction, except wien within
the protecting shadow. The experiments
were varied by immersing stout glass
tubes, incased in thick paper, horizontally
across the direction of the sound-rays in
water, between two piles which were
aligned with the dynamite cartridge.
These piles were twelve feet apart, the
nearer one being forty feet from the car
fridge. Its shadow, therefore, just COW
cred the second pile, and included the in
termediate water, with the middle part
of each tube After an explosion these
protected parts were found to be IN
broken, while the ends which projected
on the two sides beyond the shadow were
completely shattered. The boundary be-
tween the regions of shadow and noise
was sharply defined on the tubes, even at
a distance of twelve feet behind the pro-
tecting pile.-Popular Science Monthly.

wo,rrN As cor.1ErroRs.

The avenues Of employment for women
are constantly increasing, says the Kansas
City Star. Already she has proved her
self q good clerk, Il good bookkeeper
and good typewriter, and the latest is a
female collector. st least a dozen
houses in Kansas City are employing
women in this capacity, and their num-
Der seems to be constantly increasing.
A woman may be boo41keepero or a type
writer and yet be the most feminine
creature imaginable, despite her business
relations, but the female dunner would
seem to be another kind of business
woman, and she brings forward very
promptly the question of how much dis
tinction must be made between a woman
and man in the same business. One
thing is certain, one cannot kick a lady
collector out of the office The female
collectors are for the most part Young
women, and, according to their employ
ers, they are as persistent and successful
in their business as men. Their mode of
operation, however, Is somewhat pecu-
liar, and they do not seem to go about
the collection of bill the same way as G
man. A reporter happened in an office
yesterday where fifteen or twenty young
men were working. While he was talk
ing with the manager a well-dressed
young woman walked in and inquired
for one of the young men. He was
pointed out to her, and while the whole
office watched her she walked over to his
desk and began conversation with him
in tone so low that no one could hear.
After talking for a few moments she
turned to go, and, raising her voice,
said:
'If you don't come in andsettle I'ltibe
around again on Saturday"
When she was gone the young man
came in for an unmerciful guyihg, and it
is safe to say he made desperate effort
to pay the bill before Saturday. She
was the collector for jewelry firm.
A merchant who had adopted the new
scheme was asked about it, and said:
IT find that my lady collector is persist
emit, faithful and trustworthy, and has
great success in making some very bad
collections, and 1 don't see why lady
should not be permitted to ask for the
payment of bill if she can do almost
everything else about an Office"

Gettlng Even Mith Chicken ThIeres.

A chicken raiser at Elmhurst, Penn,
lost thirty odd broilers last summer by
hen hawks. He found that the hawks
generally swooped down upon the young
fowl at about midday An old woods
man told him how to get even with the
big chicken thieves. Out in the lot near
his barn he planted a round post with a
fiat top Around the rim of the top he
bored gimlet holes two inches apart, slant
ing them outward a little. Then he got
some steels out of an old umbrella, made
them uniform in length, filed one end of
each to a point as sharp as a darning
needle, and inserted them into the gimlet
holes, with the sharp points up. Inside
of the circle of spikes he stood dead
chicken, placing its head as though it was
picking food Before the novel trap had
been completed an hour an immense
hawk swooped down after the dead
chicken on top Of the post, striking so
hard that five of the sharp wires ran clear
through its body. During the summer
eight hen hawks and big owl got i'm
pale1 on the sharp spikes, and the poul
try raiser lost no more chickens.

Comparative Areas of the Central and
South American Countries.

The coming of the delegates to the
Pan-American Congress makes it perth
nent to remind our readers that Centrel
and South America embrace an area a
little greater than twice the extent of
country in the United States and Terri
tories, and a population of about fifty
millions or about one sixth smaller than
the population of the Republic.
Mexico covers an area Just about equal
to that part of the United States east of
the Mississippi River, exclusive of the
States Of Louisiana and Mississippi, and
has 10, 200. 600 inhabitants.
The FIVE Central American Republics of
Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicar-
augua and Salvador cover an extent of
country about the size of the five States
of New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Mich
igan and Illinois, and have a population
equal to both New York and Indiana
Brazil's area IS somewhat greater than
that of the United States, exclusive of
Alaska, and her population is about that
of New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
The Argentine Republic, with about
half the area Of the United States, has
population not quite as large as Pennsyl-
vania.
Colombia is nearly equal in extent to
New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana,
Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin, with
population probably a little less than
that of New York State
Bolivia's territory is somewhat greater
than that of the Atlantic States, Pennsyl-
vania, Ohio and Michigan, and has a
population about Indiana's figure.
Peru is a little larger than the Atlantic
States and Pennsylvania, and her popu-
lation is about that of Illinois.
Venezuela Is larger than Peru by about
as much territory as is embraced in New
Jersey, and her population is about equal
to Indianas.
Ecuador could contain Ohio, New
York, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Hi
nois, but her population is not quite up
to that of Michigan alone.
ChiE's domain cut up would make
States as extensive as Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Indiana. Her population is some
what greater than that of Indiana.
Paraguay is big enough to include
Ohio and New York within her borders,
but her entire population scarcely exceeds
that of Cleveland.
Uruguay is not quite as large as Ohio
and Indiana combined, and has just about
the same number of inhabitants as Brook
lyn, n. Y.
The Guianas are English, French and
Dutch colonies. British Guiana, twice as
large as Ohio, has Just about the popula-
ton of Cleveland. French Guiana,
larger than Ohio, has about as
many inhabitants as Toledo. Dutch
Guiana, nearly as large as Pennsylvania,
has nt more inhabitants than Columbus

now TO Avop WRINKLES.

You realize that a wrinkle Is coming,
says a writer in the Philadelphia Times.
You don't understand it, and you like it
less. How did it get there9 Like the rest
of your sisters, you are of a nervous tenn
persment, and even when you are not
speaking you are moving your mouth.
Nothing so entirely tends to the forma-
ton of wrinkles as a continual biting of
theunder lip, a moistening of the lips
with the tongue or a drawing the lip up
at the sides which causes an ugly, super
cilious look, and which is the best friend
for the cultivation of wrinkles. Learn
the art of repose as far as your face is
concerned. You can look inteRigently
at things, and all the expression desired
may be in your eyes, but that is noireason
why any other part of your face'need
move.
Laughing and crying alike are said to
cause wrinkles. while a pleasant smile
never will, and the moral of this would
seem to be that its wisest to repress ones
feelings, or, as the darby mammies have
always taught, that "a loud laugh be-
speaks a vulgar mind" Avoiding this,
you are stamped well-bred, and the
wrinkles do not come.

His Wonderful Ears.

Everybody who travels on the Pitts
sars division of the Pennsylvania Rail
road knows Conductor John Dinges.
lie is one of the greatest jokers in the
service, and when not punching tickets
Is busy telling stories or perpetrating a
5oke Conductor Dingess ears are his
torical. They are remarkable not for
their size, but for their wonderful pliabil-
itv. :is favorite trick Is to double up his
ears and then stuff them farther into the
orifee. This makes them look as if they
had been mashed with a crowbar.
The other night, while the train was
speeding along toward Altoona as the
rate of fifty miles an hour, Dinges
doubled his ears and passed through the
fourth car. Nearly all the passengers
were ladies. They regarded Dinges with
amazement. The conductors face wore
4 look of superb Inconsistencies. One
old lady, with iron gray curlsand a pug
nose, could not take her eyes from the
lears. When Dinges passed through the
car again her curiosity was so great that
she could rot resist the temptation to
stop him.
s'What's the matter with your ears,
conductor she asked.
Nothing" he replied, innocently, as
he elevated his eyebrows, and the ears
flew back to their normal position.
The old lady nearly fainted.-PhIadet-

HOW TO ENTERTAIN WE'LL.

A hostess, says Mrs. John Sherwood
in Ladies' Home Journal, should think
twice before she invites people to her
house. She should be so geneDus as to
let her friends alone, unless she wishes to
treat them well. Then, having made up
her mind to invite them, she must re-
member that, from that moment she is
their slave If she has nothing to offer
them but cup of tea, she must make it
a ''beaker full of the warm south" by her
manner. In the smallest house, the
humblest surroundings, the hostess is
queen, and she must be gracious. If she
is not, she is q snob, a vulgarian and a
poor creature, no matter if herhusband is
millionaire, 4 president, or great
scholar. A lady should be very particu-
hr to specify whom she wishes to see and
no lady should go to.a strange house IN
invited, on the spoken belief of some
other person that she viii be welcome.
Still less should a gentleman presunsetoo
much. A young gentleman may be
taken by a married lady, who is all
powerful, to a ball, as she IS supposed to
endorse his responsibility, but it is
always better for him to leave discard,
and for him to receive,an invitation. If,
however, throughany misapprehension,a
person gets into a house lniuvited,
hostess should never show by word or
manner, that she observes it. The very
fact that a person has crossed her TIRES
hold gives, for the moment, that person
a claim on the politeness ofta hostess.
