A Portable Electric Fan.

The electric fan Aas come to be
such an indispensable element of com.
fort, if not Of existence, during the
summer months that new and i'm
proved farmes are constantly making
their appearance. One Of these adds
the very decided recommendation OF
economy to that of efficiency. Its
first COST with battery complete, is
small. and the cost Of operating it
afterward is put at two and three
quarter cents an hour. 1t is claimed
that the battery will last ten weeks
without renewal at one hours work
daily, or ten days at a steady opera
tion of seven and . half hours per
diem. It is designed to be suitable
for the parlor or dining table, being
both ornamental and noiseless. It
will not drop grease on the tablecloth
or carpets, for its bearings are self
oiling and carry on their own lubriea-
tion without loss Of the lubricant.
The whole outfit packs up in small

The Origin of the Ear.

When the fish came ashore, it's wa
ter breathing apparatus was no longer
Of any use to it, says McCIure's Mag
azine. At first it had to keep it on,
for 1t took long time to perfect the
air-breathing apparatus which was to
replace it. But when this was ready
the problem was. what to do with
the earlier organ?
Nature is exceedingly economical,
and could not throw al this mechan-
ism away. In fact, nature almost
never parts with any structure she
has once made What she does is to
change it into something else. Com
versely, nature seldom makes any
thing new; her method Of creation is
to adapt something old.
Now when nature started out to-
manufacture ears, she made them out
of the old breathing apparatus She
saw that if water could pass through
a hole in the neck, lound could pass
likewise, and she set to work upon
the highest up of the five gill-slits
and slowly elaborated it into hear
bng organ. There never had been an
external ear in the world till this was
done, or any good ear at all.

Consequently the sailors put water
and provisions into a boat, and stole
away, but it may be well here to state
that they met with fate worse than
! that Of their companions, for adverse
winds drove them on shore where
they were captured by the Indians
and put through the most excruciat
ing tortures.
In the morning the savages on the
land observed a single individual ap-
pear On the deck Of the TonQuin and
apparently signal them to approach.
With some trepidation they put off
and cautiously neared the vessel, but
meeting with no opposition they
clambered over the rail-

sure of their prize they quickly began

when he felt sudden jar followed by
terrific explosion, and found him.

plunged into the water of the harbor
Rising to the surface, a scene of
ruin and death awaited him. OF the
200 or more Indians who had CLAIM
bered to the deck of the ship scarce
one remained uuinjured, while the
noble craft itself had been rent to
atoms, and her shattered and riven
timbers ioated about, all that was
left Of the once gallant vessel.
Lewis, the clerk, had effected a
most terrible revenge. He had waited
until the Indians had swarmed on
board. and then. with torch ip hand,
had dragged his wounded body to the
magazine and without hesitation
dropped the flaming brand into keg
of powder, which exploding, hurled
himself and his enemies to destruc-
tiol.
Months afterward this sad story
was brought to the trading-pO at
Astoria by the faithful interpreter
Lamazee, and a shadow of gloom
overspread the feelings Of the COM
pany which was not dispelled until
the arrival of Mr.. Hunt with the

Miners Don't Like 1t.

A resident in New York, who
passed nearly twenty-five years in the
anthracite ceal mines Of Pennsylva-
MIA, says that few miners can easily
shake of the horror that seiZes man
upon finding himself alone at the bot
tom Of a mine, with the. knowledge
that there is no other human being
within call. 1t sometimes happens
that MINER. absorbed in his work,
suddenly realizes that all but himself
have gone. The place is as safe from
ordinary accidents then as at any
time, and no. other living, creature
more dangercns than a blind mule
shares the miners solitude but he
finds,it impossible long t. keep of
the pressing terror, and, half
ashamed, but eomple tely conquered,
he picks up his dinner pail and grOpes
his way to the upper air.

The Puzzle.

They thought more of the Legion
of Honor in the time of the. first Ma
poleon than they do now. The EN-
perOr, it is said, one day met an old
one-armed soldier and asked him
where he lost his arm.
''Sire, at Austerlitz
sand were you not decoEated:'
$40, sire"
'aThen here is my own cross for you;
I make you chevalier.
'tYour majesty names me cheyalier
because I have lost one arm. What
would yocr Majesty have done if ]
had lost bOth?"
ssOh, in that case / should have
made yOa officer of the Legion
Whereupon the soldier Immediately
drew his sword and cut off his other
arm. Now, there is no particular
reason to doubt this story. The only
question is, how did he do it?

THE HEART OF THE TREE.

What does he plant who plants q tree?
He plants the friend OF sun and sky;
He plants the flag of breezes free;
The shaft of beauty, towering high;
He plants q home to Heaven anigh
For song and Inother-croon OF bird
In hushed ana happy twilight heard
The treble of Heavens harmony
These things he plants who plants tree.
What does he plant who plants tree?
He plants cool shade and tender rein,
And seed and bud of days to be.
And wears that fade aud flush again;
He plants the glory Of the plain;
He plants the forests heritage;
The harvest of a coming age;
The joy that unborn eyes shall see
These things he plants who plants tree.
What does he plant who plants tree?
He plants in sap, ara leaf, and wood,
In love Of home and LOYALTY
The far-cast thought of civic good
His blessing on the meighborhood.
When in the hollow of his hand
Holds all the growth Of all our land
nation growth from sea TO sea
Stirs in his heart who plants tree.

High School Debate.

Some weeks ago the junior class OF
the high school challenged the seniors to
to debate on the question:: Resolved
that Napoleon was a patriot and a
lover of France" The seniors were to
take the affirmative side, and the juniors
the negative. The seniors having ac-
ceptec the challenge, the debate occurred
Tuesday afternoon February 21st, in the
assembly room of the high school, before
three judges. Mr.. Hamilton, DIR. Dubois
and Miss Ramsdell who were chosen by
committees acting for the two classes.
The disputants on the affirmative were,
Misses Gertrude McNutt and Mary Blu
chanan and Madison Cleveland and
Julius Syfford; on the negative, Misses
Clara Chase, Susie Warren, Samuel Tuve
and Joe Petit. Each disputant was
allo wed fifteen minutes, and as nearly
every one occupied his full time. the de-
bate was somewhat long, but was
listened to by all with keen interest.
1t was evident from the FIRST that the dis
putants had read extensively, and had a
grasp of the subject truly praiseworthy.
The thorough knowledge of Napoleon,
and of his times which all gained, as
well as the practice in expressing their
thoughts so clearly and forcibly as to
convince their hearers, is of inestimable
value, and will be practical benefit to
them in the future.
Mr.. Hamilton in rendering the decision
of the judges which was in favor of the
negative, complimented both sides upon
the careful preparation they had made,
and the manner in Which they had con-
Quoted the debate. The vote of the
school on the merits of the debate stood
81 to 50 in favor of the affirmative.

rhe Literary soc1etx.

At the parlors of, the Congregational
church on Monday evening one OF the
pleasantest meetings of the series of the
literary association was held. After the
disposition Of routine business, and prior
to the arrival of the essayist of the even
ing. DR.. Dubois, Rev. ]. A. Wood sug-
gested that discussion of the annexa-
ton of the Sandwich Islands be INDUCED
in. The subject brought out a lively ex
preston of opinion pro and con,
Messrs Petit and Hamilton being the
chief speakers. In the midst of what was
rapidly becoming most interesting de-
bate, DR.. Dubois arrived. and the
president declared that further discus
sion would be postponed till the next
regular meeting. Business recurring up
on the regular order, DR.. Dubois read
thong htful and carefully prepared an
alytical paper upon Daniel Webster. He
dealt only with his public and official
career and utterances, and placed him
easily first among the orators, Ameri-
can, English and ancient. His personal
overwhelming and magnificent presence,
the charm of his delivery and the mas
sive logic of this foremost of statesmen
of his age was viyidly portrayed.
The paper throughout was listened to
with the closest attention. At it's close
the audience felt that little was lett to
discuss, so far as the paper was con-
cerncd, but it was supplemented by
disjointed and running comment upon
his personal characteristics, interspersed
with anecdotes and incidents illustrative
of the character of the man. 1t was an
and profitable meeting.
At the next meeting, week from
Monday evening, DR.. Rich will read a
paper upon the care and preservation of
the teeth, and it will be of such practical
value that no one with teeth to preserve
can afford to miss it.

Recognized Merit.

1t is not only the pride of Sank Cen.
tire that she has so many strong repre-
sentative firms in different lines of bust
ness, but it is a ground of advantage in
that these firms are cooperative in the
welfare and prosperity of all. Of the
business houses Of Sank Centre none
stands deservedly higher than that of
Dean & Co., dealers in agricultural ma
chinery. For more than ten years this
firm has taken leading position and
has earned a reputation not only at
home but throughout a large area of
contributing territory, which has served
to bring scores of people to the city to
deal with them, and incidentally with
dealers in other lines. 1t is acknow~
ledgedly the leading firm in agricultural
implements in this part of the state, and
by its consistent policy of enterprise, en-
ergy and liberality. it enjoys trade
which is simple tremendous. It's moving
spirit, w. S. Dean, combines within him
self all those qualities which inspire alb
solute confidence and respect. Honora-
BILE to the last degree, affable and kindly
in his bearing on all occasions, wide
awake and enterprising, foremost IN all
private and public enterprises tor and in
behalf of the city and the country tribu-
utary to the city. he is highly esteemed
and universally respected. In business
he has shown comprehensive grasp
which has extended his business far and
near. The firm has always carried
enormous stocks, not only of farm imple-
ments and machinery, but in finer goods,
such as buggies, cutters and carriages
of all sorts, and has always maintained
its reputation of selling only such goods
as could be honestly commended and
guaranteed. Backed by capital and ad-.
ministered with energy. the firm has
prospered, and its dealings have always
been such that the entire community has
rejoiced in its prosperity. Its branch
house in Melrose, under the efficient
management of Mr.. Rain, has been con-
Quoted along the same lines as it's bust
ness here, and the firm has been peculi-.
arly fortunate in attracting to its inter
ests so competent, trustworthy and en-
tel prising manager. The season of 1898
promises to be even more prosperous
than any which has preceded it.
