The stove of the Future.

"That looks neat" was the remark to
the stove man "What is itY' sit is the
new gas stove. The day will come when
all the world who can get at it will want
to do its summer cooking by gas, and
maybe its winter cooking as well. This
stove, you see, has burners for all the
stove holes and two ovens. 1t admits cir
into the gas at the point of combustion
and makes bunsen fame of each. We
ran all the burners full blast for two
hours the other day, having the meter
taken before and after, and it cost ex-
actly twelve cents. We can raise ket-
tie Of cold water to boiling in seven min
utes and all you have to do is touch a
match to the gas and your fire is going.
Handsome, too, isn't 1t? Looks like a
stylish fancy range. Lewiston Journal.

The Pre-rrontal Region of tho Brain.

The Preferential Region of tho Brain.
Modern Psychologists regard the pre-
frontal part Of the brain as the seat of
character and intellect. After the re-
moyal of this part in dogs and monkeys,
no paralysis Of any muscles or loss OF
ssensibility occurs. but singular changes
in the behavior, emotions and character
Of the animals have been observed. They
become livelier, restless, impatient, irri-
table, quarrelsome and violent. Their
movements seem purposeless, and their
attention to what is going on around
them, and their intelligence, are dimin-
ished.
These observations have been con-
frined by similar phenomena in the case
of human beings The well known
"Crowbar case" described by the Amer
lean physician DIR. Harlow, is one in
point. A young man was busy tamping
u bursting charge into rock with n
pointed iron rod, when the charge sud
denly exploded and the rod entered his
head under the angle Of the lower jaw,
came out in the frontal region, and was
found some distance off covered with
blood and brain substance. He became
childish, willful, tickle and restless and
suffered loss of intellectual power.
Gradually, however, these symptoms
Disappeared; he recovered and lived for
thirteen years. His skull is preserved
in Harvard university. Berlin Cor. Lon

A clever Customs Trick.

A good story is told of a clever trick,
by means of which some Russian Jews
have cheated the custom house. Stimuli
taneously at two frontiers very large
case came to each, but was not claimed.
After the regulation time had elapsed
they were opened and found to be gloves
and ordered to be sold at auction, ac-
cording to law. A Jew, ON looking at
them, cried out they were all right hand
gloves and of no use to any one Conse-
quently they went for next to nothing
and for far less than the tax would have
amounted to. Needless to add that the
case at the other frontier contained all
the left hand gloves, and Of course they
wero bought by confederate

A slender, bright eyed, well dressed

Tn,osh,,, IN syria

On the outskirts of each village is a
level space OF ground of sufficient size to
answer the requirements of the village
which is known by the name of the ba-
yader, or threshing floor. Each farmer
and peasant has his own particular por-
ton marked off by row Of stones, and
this portion is religiously handed down
from father to son and jealousy guarded
from encroachment. Hither the various
crops are borne ON the backs of camels
or donkeys as soon as they are reaped in
the fields, and they are there piled up
into separate sacks to be threshed out in
turns.
The threshing is q long and tedious
process, occupying several months 1t
commences about the beginning of June
and often is not completed till the end
Of September or even in some cases till
the middle Of October During all this
time the threshing floor presents lively,
busy and most picturesque scene The
process is a very primitive one, being
identical with that which was in vogue
in the times Of Old Testament history.
Nay. the hieroglyphic representations ON
Egyptian monuments show that the
same method was adopted by the farm
ers of Egypt at least five thousand years
ago.
A fiat board something like the bot
tom of a sleigh, with small sharp pieces
of basalt firmly let into its under sides,
is driven round and round upon the sur
face of the corn, which is spread out in a
circle of from six to twenty yards in d.
ameter, according to the quantity to be
threshed. A boy rides on the board and
drives the horse or oxen as the case may
be. Meanwhile one or two men stand
in the middle, and with three pronged
wooden forks turn the corn over SO as to
expose all portions equally to the action

THE uNKNowN.

We strive to pierce the vast unknown
To probe It's inmost heart
While all about us lies world
That would 10 us impart
More knowledge of its joys and griefs,
Unsensed by senses duh,
For, in our flight TO other realms,
We fail TO see and Gull.
Fair 1owerlets of the rarest hue
That blossom on our way;
We do not feel the pulsing waves
That DER the heart strings play.
Affection, sympathy for man,
But surge on rock girt shore;
AS oitadelimpregnable
We close and guard the door.
Lies all around a stranger world,
Its wonders little known,
For we, In blindness, pass the bud
To pluck the flower full blown.
'Twere well to learn the lesson here
Lies mysteries to solve
In harmony, each day, to live
Tho truths that lives evolve.
To know In heart our brother man,
To feel with him akin;
To read in natures face the love
She daily ushers In.
To make q realty OF this life
Proves the great corner stone,
When this the known world we exchang'
For that we term unknown.

Nine Pittsburg Brothers Work Novel
Scheme to Dress Well.

Nine Pittsburg Brothers Work Novel
Scheme to Dress Well.
Avery popular member of the depart
ment of public safety is noted for the
great variety of his wardrobe especially
in the matter of hats and neckties, and
it has been source of wonder to his
friends how he managed to follow so sue
cessfully i'll the lines laid down by Berry
Wall, moro especially as his salary, while
good, is not extrayagant, and he is
known to have horror of running bills,
especially tailors' bills.
On Monday evening he dropped into
Central station, with q particularly lurid
necktie, that put to shame the electric
light and made the glittering brass rail
ing in front Of the captains desk somber
by comparison. He was asked where he
got the object lesson in primary colors,
and in a burst of confidence told the fol-
lowing story:
''You see, it's not altogether my fault
I'm wearing this necktie. l am of a re-
firing disposition, and it makes me ner-
vous when pass young lady on the
street to have her look at this necktie
and then stop and listen for thunder.
But this is the way it Isl; There are nine
of us boys, and we all live at home.
There is little difference in our size, and
the same hat, collar or shirt will fit each
and every one Of us. Now see how it
works.
''The first one up in the morning has
the choice of nine outfits. From what
is comparatively an infinite variety of
clothing he can select that which suits
hirs best--and he generally does 1t. 1t
is warm, sunshiny day, and he chances
through the clothing clearing house and
picks out light suit, patent leather
shoes, u straw hat and fancy necktie,
probably leaving in their place heavy
winter wear, all splashed with mud.
''The next to arise will take his choice
of the remainder of the clothing, and SO
ON down the list, until the ninth and last
gets up. He has no choice. He simply
takes what is left. If he has exception
ally good luck he may find u complete
suit, but it is exceptional. The proba-
bilities are that each garment represents
different suit of widely separated eras
of construction, all more or less in need
of repair. We are philosophical, and
the last one to arise usually takes an in
ventory and then goes into dry dock for
repairs, or, in other words, goes back to
bed while buttons are sewn ON and rents
are closed.
after telling you all this it is hardly
necessary for me to say that was the
last one of the family to get up this
morning. The result is / am wearing
baseball shoes, black dress pants, u white
vest, lawn tennis shirt, pea jacket and a
straw hat. The necl1tie is all right l
would have oversight myself this morn
ing, but it was so loud it woke me up"

a LITTLE GIRLS GUESS.

Her brow Is puckered with wrinkles,
She ponders deep problems, tits plain,
Does our pet, while we wonder what fancy's
Agog IN that bright little brain.
She stands at the window and watches
Where nature, all grlmy and gray,
Smiles dimly and struggles but vainly
To shine thro' the dust OF today.
Her face 1t lights up on n sudden;
Whatever the load that oppressed
Her mind, tits cast Off, She cries "Grandms
guess God Is taking a restr'
why, Bessyl" shrieks grandma, In horror;
But Bessy responds: well, just
Guess If God was a-malEin' folks nowadays,
He couldn't spare quite so much dust,"

THEIR BUSINESS BOOMING.

Blake & johnson to Erect Il Factory
On North Elm Street.
The Blake & johnson Manufacturing
company. whose factory is located on
East Main street have purchased the
Blakeslee property on the corner OF
Sparks and North Elm streets. The
company found it necessary to enlarge
their capacity for turning out their
goods, but could find no land near their
present wor Ks. Some weeks ago the
kingsbury property on North Main
street was looked over by the directors,
who also had in view the Blakeslee
property.
The latter site suited the directors and
at meeting yesterday it was voted to
purchase it. The land has 21O feet
frontage on Spark street and about the
same ON North Elm street. The prop
erty is owned by Ralph N. Blakeslee.
The company vii at once make prepa-
rations to erect a large five story brick
factory. This is another indication of
the prosperity of Waterbury industries.
The price paid for the property is not
announced.
