OBES OBSERVATIONS.
What He Sees and Hears During Hir
Travels.


Now that the fears occasioned by the
threatened bursting of the breastwork Of one
of the water company's dams have been al
layed some amusing stories are told of incl
terror. One is told of Squire Monaghan,
who is looked upon as one of the sages of the
First ward, and what he says goes" whether
it be political or other question. When the
mischievous shots were fired Thursday night
people who mistook them for signals that
the dam had burst gathered about the en-
trance to the temple of justice and with tears
in their eyes asked the squire if he thought
there was any danger. The squire was as
cool as a lump Of ice and in loud, clear cut
tones, told the people gathered before him
that there was no danger, that the shots we're
false and malicious. He was soaring high in
Websterian terms and had just said "Now,
my good people, return to your homes and
flresides" when a small boy dashed through
the crowd shouting, The water is coming"
The next instant the good people were like
an army without a leader. They scattered
in all directions and Squire Jack, with hat
in hand, was fastening towards his home as
fast as his legs could carry him. When he
learned that the report of the small boy was
hoax he laughed and said, "Oh, | was cool
enough and had the frightened people well
| in hand, but that lad took me completely by
surprise"

SERMON BY REV, ROBERT O'BOYLE
Copies Of the Beautiful Order of
Service Given the Attendants
as Souvenir Of the
Occasion

- !
sary of the Inauguration of Washington as
President of the United States The capacity
of the church was fully taxed as large
number beside the members of the camp and
regular attendants of the church were in
attendance. As souvenir of the occasion
there was presented to each attendant
handsome four PACED programme of the
services, printed in red, white and blue, and
bearing photograph of Washington and the
United States flag.
The following was the order of service:
Choir Anthem.
Invocation.

Sermon.
Text: II Cor 3,l7, "Where the spirit of the
Lord is, there is liberty"

At the top Of the programme was the motto
of the p o. S. of A., God, Our Country and
Our Order" and at the bottom, "First in
war, first in peace, and first in the hearts OF
his countrymen."
Rev. O'Boyle, during the sermon briefly
reviewed the history of America from the
colonial period to the present day and
pointed out three principal lessons to be
drawn from the history of the country He
said that the establishment of the Union did
not spring from a spontaneous resolution of a
body of people, but was brought about by a
divine necessity. God gave the people the
patriotic inspiration and brought about the
struggle and victory and independence and
he is now guarding it. To preserve
the glorious liberty and independence of this
land it is necessary that the people should be
educated, for that reason the American people
take great pride in the public schools. But
while we must always, as patriotic citizens
stand by the public school system, we must
also stand by the christian church. The
heart as well as the intellect must be edu,
Gated, and therefore the public schools and
the christian church must go hand in hand
in the glorious work.

Speaking of licenses reminds me Of the
emphatic remarks used by Judge Harry
White on Friday last when he was
asked to make an order for a hearing
preliminary to the tranfer OF a license The
Judge asked, Didn't these people know
before they got the license that they wanted
to sell out? 1t must be understood that the
court is not to be expected to make
merchandise of licenses, Why, it's preposter-

The pathway of the foreigner who schemes
to skip from this town without paying his
taxes is not strewn with roses. On Thursday
last three Polish fellows who wanted to go to
New York with the intention of sailing for
the old country, walked from town with their
luggage and upon arriving there they found
Deputy Tax Collector Higgins was a pas
senger on the train they wished to take.
To throw the collector off the track they re-
mained at the depot and made no attempt to
board the train. After the collector departed
they walked to Barry's Junction, only to
find Higgins there waiting to receive them.
They gave up the game, paid their taxes and
continued their journey by train and in
peace One of the men showed over $500 in
cash. ODE.

A QUEER PEOPLE.
Africans Who Bear n Very Close Resem-
blance to the Ape.

Africans Who Bear Very Close Resem-
blance to the Ape.
Strange stories are told of the Dokos,
who live among the moist, warm bam-
boo woods to the south of Kaffa and
Susa, in Africa.
Only four feet high, of dark olive
color, savage and naked, they have
neither houses nor temples, neither fire
nor human food. They live only on
ants, mice and serpents, diversified by
few roots and fruits. They let their
nails grow long, like talons, the better
to dig for ants, and the more easily to
tear in pieces their favorite snakes.
The Dokos used to be invaluable as
slaves, and they we're taken In large
numbers. The slave hunters used to
hold up bright-colored clothes as they
came to the moist, warm bamboo
woods, where these human monkeys
still live, and the poor Dokos could not
resist the attractions offered by such
superior people They crowded round
them and were taken in thousands. In
slavery they were docile, attached
obedient, with few wants and excellent
health.
These queer people have only one
fault-a love for ants, mice and ser
penis, and habit of speaking to yer
with their heads on the ground and
their heels in the air. Yer is their idea
of a superior power, to whom they talk
in this comical nature when they are
dispirited or angry, or tired Of ants and
snakes, and longing for unknown food
The Dokos seem to come nearest of al
people yet discovered to that terrible
cousin to humanity, the ape.

HEAVY ARTILLERY.
Ancient Guns That Threw Enormous Pro-
fectiles.


Ancient Guns That Threw Enormous Pro-
Jectiles.
In 1873 Mohammed H., In forming
the siege of Scutari in Albania, en-
ployed fourteen heavy bombards, the
lightest of which threw stone shot Of
$40 pounds weight, two sent shot of 800
pounds, two of 750 pounds, two Of $50
pounds, one of 1000 pounds, five of 800
pounds, and one of the enormous
weight of ], $40 pounds, enormous even
in these days, for the only guns whose
shot exceed the heaviest of these are
our s0-ton gun, throwing 1,700-pound
projectile; our 100-ton, throwing one
of 1900 pounds, and the 11O-ton, throw
ing an 1,s00-pound shot with high
velocity.
The stone shot of Mohammed's guns,
says Chambers journal, varied between
twenty and thirty-two inches in diam
eter, about the same height as dining
table; 1854 of them were fred on this
occasion, weighing, according to cal
culation of Gen. Lefroy's, about 1000
tons, and were cut out of the solid rock
on the spot. Assuming twenty-four
inches as the average diameter of the
shot fired at this siege, the total area OF
the surface dressed was nearly $4,000
square feet. At this siege the weight
of the powder fred is estimated by Gen.
LEROY to have been $50 tons. At
the siege of Rhodes, in 1480, Moham-
med caused sixteen basilisks or double
cannon to be cast on the spot, throw
ing balls two to three feet in diam.

HOW WE TASTE.
The Middle Of the Tongue Ii the Most
Sensitive.


Sensitive.
Strictly speaking, with the tip of the
tongue one cannot really taste at all
If you put drop Of oil of bitter almonds
on that part of the mouth you will find,
no doubt, to your great surprise, that 1t
produces no effect of any sort; you only
taste it when it begins slowly to diffuse
itself and reaches the true tasting region
in the middle distance. But if you put
little mustard or cayenne on the same
part you will find that it bites you i'm
mediately--the experiment should be
tried sparingly-while if you put 1t
lower down in the mouth you will swal-
low it almost without noticing the pun
gency of the stimulant.
The reason is, says the Yankee Blade,
that the tip of the tongue is supplied
only with the nerves Of touch, not
nerves of taste proper; they belong to a
totally different main branch, and they
90 to a different center in the brain,
together with the very similar threads,
which supply the nerves Of smell for
mustard and pepper.
That Is why the smell and taste OF
these pungent substances are SO much
alike, as everybody must have noticed,
a good sniff at mustard pot producing
almost the same irritating effects as an
incautious dose.
When one is trying deliberate expert
ments on the subject in order to test
the varying sensitiveness of the differ
entuparts to different substances it is
necessary to keep the tongue quite
dry in order to isolate the thing you
are experimenting with and prevent il
spreading to all parts of the mouth to
gether. In actual practice this result
is obtained in rather ludicrous man
ner-by blowing upon the tongue be
tween each experiment with pair Of
bellows. To such undignifed expe-
dents does the pursuit of science lead
the modern Psychologist.

THEY KNOW IT ALL.
Certain Women Who Think Themselves
Trnnvcfona0ina

Certain Women Who Think Themselves
Encyclopedias.
Have you among your acquaintances
one particular individual of the femi-
nine gender who knows it all? OF
course, you have, for her kind abounds
in wholesale quantities, and your circle
would have to be very restricted If you
did not happen to meet once in awhile
one of this disagreeable species, says
the Philadelphia Times
The strange part about 1t is that the
woman who thinks she knows 1t all is
generally the one least informed on the
subject she chooses to debate upon.
Those who are really competent to give
advice and state opinions are usually
silent unless their sentiments are ALSO
lutely dragged out of them, but the
woman who knows it all, according to
her own estimate, airs her views with a
lavishness that makes you long to slap
her. If such an action were but per-
missible.
She riles you continually, she never
rubs you the right way, and if she says
a thing is black you are possessed with
a desire to swear that it is white, even
though you know that for once she Is
right, and that black is black. She
poses as an authority on fashion, reli-
gion, social laws and customs, the rules
of card playing, and the science OF
housekeeping.
If you touch on theosophy she is right
with you, ready to correct any state
ment you may make. If you dabble in
the intricacies of politics she can give
you points on the tariff or the silver
bill, and so impresses you with your
own infinitesimal knowledge of things
in general that before long you actual
" hate the sight of her. She is not
popular, the woman who knows 1t all,
and unless she once in awhile will ad-
NIT an error or allow a correction such
a one is certain to narrow the circle OF
her acquaintance to those very few I'M
fortunates who cannot by any possibil-
ity get away from her.
