Curious Old Indian Signs.

About five miles above Morven is a
mystery which the people of that com
munity cannot explain. In hummock
near the river are two complete circles,
one ninety and the other 140 feet in diane
ter, the smaller circle inside the larger.
These circles, which are much like those
left by a circus performance, are COM
pletely barren Of vegetation of all kinds.
These circles have been there sihce the
recollection of the oldest citizen, and
none know how or when they came
there. 1t must be that they are Indian
signs, relics of by-gone days, when tha
savage warrior was lord of all he sur
veyed.-Rao0a (Ga.) Telegraph,

Potatoes for Starch.

The annual "potato raid" is in pro-
gress in Aroostock, Me, as the starch
factories are beginning their seasons work.
Says the Boston Transcript "This is
one of the most novel sights TO be wit
messed in this section of the country-the
long line of teams hauling the potatoes
to the factories and standing waiting their
turn to unload. There is a great crop in
Aroostock this year, the largest for many
years, in fact, and there will be good
supply for the factories, as the latter are
paying very fair prices. There are about
forty factories in Aroostock County and
on its border, and as they use upward of
two million bushels yearly, it is seen that
potato raising and starch making in Aroo-
stock are industries of considerable mag
nitude.n

Suicide in the Red Sea.

The Orient liner Lusitania, which has
just arrived at Plymouth, England, re-
ports the suicide in the Red Sea of a
beautiful young girl, Miss B. Mcknight,
who took passage at Melbourne and was
going to England to be married. She
was observed to be depressed in spirits
when the vessel had only been a week or
two at sea and was heard to regret that
she had consented to wed. When the
Lusitania was in the Straits of Bah ell
Msndeb one night Miss Mcknight sud
denly broke off an apparently agreeable
conversation with some of her fellow
passengers, and, mounting the rail, leaped
into the almost boiling waters of the
Red Sea that never falls below ninety
six degrees. The steamer was at once
hove to and boats were lowered. The
search continued for two hours. Moth
ing, however, being seen of the suicide
it is supposed she was eaten by shark.

According to the New York World,
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher grows more
beautiful as advancing years and grow
ing feeblenoss take possession of her.
She sits IN a beautiful bay window sur
rounded by birds and flowers, and
dreams of the days when she and
''Henry" were struggling along in lit
tie Western village, trying to keep the
pot boiling aud the sermons written.
But those were long ago days! Now,
though in comparative poverty, Mrs.
Beecher has enough business engage
nents to keep her from actual want, and
y she could fulfil one-half the orders
that come to her she would be a rich
SoInau. Every publishing firm in the
country has asked her TO write the life
her dead husband, but owing to her
'tb she has refused them all.

Civilization works havoc among wild
animals that are killed for the service of
mankind, laments the New York Star.
The buffalo has almost entirely disap-
|peared, and now it is said that there are
,robably less than one hundred thousand
|seals in existence, and that, at the pres
ent rate of slaughtering, in few years
the species will be exterminated. 1t may
become necessary for the Government to
institute decisive measures for the pro-
lection of the seals, unless we are willing
to see them wholly disappear.

A BUILDERS LESSON,

"How shall l a habit breakr'
As you did that habit make.
As you gathered, you must lose;
AS you yielded, now refuse.
Thread by thread the strands we twist
Till they bind us neck and wrist;
Thread by thread the patient hand
Must untwine ere free we stand,
As we builded, stone by stone,
We must toll unhelped, alone
Till the wall is overthrown.
But remember, as we try,
Lighter every test goeo by;
Wading In, the stream grows deep
Toward the centres downward sweep;
Backward turn, each itep ashore
Shallower is than that before.
Ah, the precious years we waste
Leveling what we raised in haste,
Doing what must be undone
Ere content or love be wonl
First across the gulf we cast
Kite-borne threads, till lines are passed,
And habit builds the bridge at lastl

FROM THE JAPANESE.

$50 young, he cannot know the way"
Thus heard mother say,
At the close Of summer day;
But he knew the road, it seems,
Into the shadow-land of dreams.
And she wept above his clay,
Since, though young, he knew the wayl
Gone where summer moths resort,
Or small boats that leave the port,
Sailing over the stormy brine,
As, with this long sleeve of mine
Under the gloom Of alien skies,
dry my weeping eyesl
If / could be where the billow whirls, y
In lacquered skif, with paddle OF pearls
Young no more, but old and gray,
You may be sure I'd know the way.

Life Of Trees.

Recent information gathered by the
German forestry commission assigns to
the pine tree 500 and 700 years as the
maximum, 425 years to the silver fir,
275 years to the larch, 245 years to the
red beech, 2l0 to the aspen, 200 to the
birch, 40 TO the ash, 145 to the alder,
and 130 to the elm. The heart of the
oak begins to rot at about the age of 300
years. The holly oak alone escapes this
law, it is said, and there is a specimen Of
this aged 40 years in existence near
Aschadenburg in Germany Chicago

The Modem Form of the plnno.

The invention of the modern form of
the piano dates back to about the year
100. The spinet or reotangular-shaped
instrument was called a Yirginal. 1t is
frequently stated that this was done to
compliment Elizabeth, the Virgin
Queen, but this cannot be true, as it is
found mentioned among the instruments
Of Henry VIII, It is more likely that it
was so named because intended as an
instrument for young ladies' st. Louis
Republic.

The Champion Ahead

The Champion Evaporator, that is manufac.
tured by The G. II. Grimm Manufacturing Co.,
Hudson, o is pronounced by all who have used
it to be the best, quickest and cheapest Evap-
orator in the market for the manufacture OF
Maple and Sorghum Syrups, and Cider and
Fruit Jellies. The Champion consists of series
OF from to separate pans, any one of which
may be removed quickly from its place when
finishing or cleaning. The Regulator keeps the
sap at whatever depth is desired, and requires
no watching. The Portable Siphon is the only
true way for clarifying and transferring syrup,
as it keeps the sap at uniform depth and main
tains steady flow. Giving their entire atten.
tion to evapnrators,this company are constant
ly adding Improvements, and this year the
Champion still holds its place ahead of all COM
petitors. For full particulars and testimonials
