James A. Norton, a Farm Laborer,
Meets n Horrible Fate While in an
Intoxicated Condition.
James A. Norton, farm lsborer of Or.
ange, went to Birmingham Saturday with
his wife and one child, lad of twelve
years, in order to purchase provisions and
groceries. At about 1890 p. m. when they
started home Norton was in an intoxicated
condition. When they had got a little way
below Derby he had a little alteration with
his wife and took to the railroad track, his
wife and boy going on along the road. The
11:15 train from Now Haven was due about
this time, and was probably the train
which struck him. But before the body
was found the 1927 train from
Ansonia again passed over the
body, further mutilating it. In the
meanwhile his wife, becoming worried be
cause he did not put in an appearance
sent the boy out to look for him and her
self followed later. They met two young
men named Tymer, who said that they had
found the body of Norton 100 feet west OF
Tymer's crossing terribly mutilated. They
Immediately notified Medical Examiner
Beardsley of Birmingham. The limbs
were all torn from the body and wers
scattered along the track for several feet
from where the trunk was found. The
body now lies at Bedient's morgue- II
Birmingham awaiting the action of tn
Orange board of selectmen.
Norton was forty one years of age, anC
leaves a wife and four children.

NEW YEARS CALLS.

The fashion seems setting in for i'm
proving the New Years call out of ex-
istence. The advance of fashionable
progress is retrogression In common
sense. With our hurry scurry mode of
life, we have already knocked half the
poetry out of it, and it is really time TO
call a halt on the movement for wiping
ont what remain of the good old Gus
toms of our grandfathers. Why should
the fraternal, spirit-kindlng wish be
allowed TO mummify itself into q dry
conventionality? What we want is to
restore its old time genuineness and re
new its pious grace.

AN ANCIENT HERBARIUM.
1t Is Composed Of Plants Thousands o.
Years Old.

1t Is Composed of Plants Thousands of
Years Old.
The oldest herbarium in the world is In
the Egyptologist Museum at Cairo, and con-
sists of an nconspicuous collection Of dried
portions Of plants. These portions of plants
and flowers were taken from wreaths and
garlands in the collins with mummies. where
they were placed by the ancient Egyptians
as death offerings. and from edible plants.
which were set in earthen vessels on the
floor Of the sepulcher as the furniture of
the last resting place of their beloved
ones. Many of these floral remains are
so we'll preserved that after being
treated with warm water, they can be
handled like modern herbarian speci-
mems. The colors, too, are preserved
in a remarkable way. According to Garden
and Forest, the most important matter
in connection with these plants is their age.
The remains of funeral food are found in
tombs as far back as 5000 years before
Christ. Five hundred years later grains of
mustard seed, capsules OF flaxseed, gourds,
lentils, beans, figs, pine needles, juniper
berries and other edibles are found. The
richest acquisitions in leaves and flowers to
the herbarium were made from the tombs
constructed between the sixteenth and
eighteenth centuries, b. G. Among the flow
ers for the dead were the blue and white
lotus, the red poppy, the oriental hollyhock,
crown chrysanthemum, saffi0wer, p0ine-
granate flowers, willow leaves, grasses and
peppermint. Celery leaves came into
re acquisition later and onions leeks and gar
lie played an important part in the offerings
to the dead. One of tina general conclusions
drawn from this herbarium is that Egypt
has sustained no appreciable climatic
changes during the last 1000 years.
