A Bit of Bangor Property.

There is one piece of real estate in
Maine which is entailed so far as such
property can be in this country. 1t is
known as Dundee, and is situated in
the town of Limington. In 1868 Francis
Small bought it with other lands from
the Indians, the original deed being yet
preserved in the family. Having de-
scended from. father to son for several
generations, Humphrey Small purchased
small section of his fathers land,
which he named Dundee, and he stout
ly affirmed that Dundee should remain
in the ownership of the Smalls forever,
and that it should be allowed to become
a forest again. Twice he was offered
more than double its value, but although
hard pressed for money be remained true
TO his declaration.
On the 2Sth of November this proper
ty will have been in possession Of the
family 224 years, and to commemorate
this and also to celebrate the centennial
of Limington, which was organized in
1899, the family had a reunion and pic
mic recently. Next year they propose
to celebrate their 225th anniversary with
a larger gathering, to include all of the
Small family that can be gathered to-
gether. Bangor Wing and Courier.

The Nearest Star.

One of the most clearly defined figures
in the sky is the Northern Cross, which
you will find at about s o'clock now
directly overhead. 1t would be hard
for you not to identify it, The head of
the cross, the bright star Deneb, is
toward the northeast, and the foot, Al
bireo, is toward the southwest. Thus the
whole figure lies along the milky way.
The cross has no special NEUROLOGICAL
history, nor indeed has the constellation
Cygnus (the Swami Of which it is part.
But Cygnus is famous for containing
the star that is nearest to us of all the
stars seen from this hemisphere, sixty
one Cygni, as it is called. 1t is faint
star Immediately under Deneb and in
the direction of the Square of Pegasus.
The astronomers have obtained the
parallax Of this star with something
like accuracy, and they find that it is
about $50, 900 times as far from us as the
sun is distant from the earth,-Philadel-
phia Times,

Architecture at the Fair.

The architectural standards of the
average man are the best buildings he
has seen. To show him the possibilities
Of beautiful construction is to enlarge
his aspirations and make him dissatis-
fed with inferior jobs He might cross
the seas and travel thousands Of miles
without getting so effective an archi-
tectural lesson as he will get at Chicago.
He will not only see admirable buildings
there, but he will also see some pretty
bad ones, and having the good and the
bad side by side he will have so much
the better chance of learning which is
which, and wherein consists the excel
lence or inferiority Of either.
The fair buildings have cost a great
sum of money, and most of them are
only for temporary use, but we miss our
guess and our hope if they do not prove
in the end one of the most beneficent
educational investments that have been
made in this country, and as lasting in
their ultimate results as stone and iron
could have made them. Harper's
Weekly.
