Worth Preserving.

country place is slow to lose them, at
least in tho eyes OF the old inhabit
ants.
A gentleman who had bought au
abandoned farm on tho outskirts of
q small town found dilapidated
"carryall' in the barn, whose best
days were evidently so far in the
past that be considered it quito
worthless.

farm with him to look the barn and
house over with view to reshin-
Cling them. ITS too disgracefnl to

4 Novel Instrument Of Death.

According to tradition, ZENITH, tho
legendary king of Scotland, was al
lurel to his death in most novel
manner. Kenitil had slain a son
ard brother Of Fennella, who to be
avenged ordered WilIns, a famous
silversmith, to construct a death
dealing statue of silver.
In its right hand the statue held
basin and III the left hand an apple Of
pure gold, both set with diamonds
and other precious stones.
To touch tho apple was to defy
death, it being ~ arranged that any
une guilty OF srch vandalism would
lie Immediately tidtlled by poisoned
rrrows shot from Openings in the
body Of the sta ne.
ZENITH was invited TO inspect the
wonder and, us Fcnnelh had hoped.
he tried u pluck the precious imita-
ton fruit. When bis hand touched
the apple he WAS wounded by the ar
rows and died where no fell jew

Rloodless italian Battles.

As rule the art of war was prao-
iced in 1920 with little too much
regard for rules; it was hide and
seek behind specific bulwarks rather
:han warfare. AS Voltaire says, the
soldiers of the land were distributed
between such and such condottieli as
if they were professional harvestcrs.
Tho captain Of mercenaries upon
,ne side tried his best to outmancuver
the captain Of mercenaries OIL tho
other side. If he succeeded in getting
the enemy into corner from which
he could not escape, except by
desperate engagement absurd to
think of, he sent off n bo1nbastic tale
of victory to his employers and
asked for an increase of pay. And
to make sure that his success should
furnish no excuse for cessation of
hostilities and the signing of treaties
of peace (Which meant iislnissal he
straightway shook hands with the
captive general and set him and his
army at liberty, SO that the campaign
might be continued.
This was the light in which the
condotticri viewed their responsible
ties. Nor was it difficult to live
through y career Of battles without u
wound ut time when such counsel
az the following was esteemed sage
enough to offer to the STRIPPING sol
der: "You must know that to secure
yourself against artillery you must
be either out of its reach or behind a
wall, or behind y rampant. And,
moreover, see thar the wall be thick
enough" etc. -Macmllan's Maya

What " Farmer Accomplished.


From q farmer in Virginia some
years ago l received a request that
he might send me a package Of col
orcd sketches of Wild flowers and
that ! would verify or rectify his de.
termination of their names.
Inquiry developed the fact that he
had reached adult age rs farmer
when he began to feel the need of
some subject Of thought and interest
outside Of his daily work.
Without any scientific help or
knowledge he set about collecting
and naming the birds Of the Shenan-
doah valley. Not satisfied with
stuffed specimens he conceived the
idea Of painting the birds he collect
ed. With 10 artistic knowledge or
instruction he ordered paints and
brushes and srt himself at work, and
today there ar" very few artists in
the country who can paint birds
with so much IF artistic grace and
scientific accuracy as he.
After a few years, having trans
ferred to paper all the birds of the
leg1on, he procured "Gr,ys Man
ual" and began TO study the plants
of the valley, first determining their
names and then painting them. He
accordingly sent on q package of
.4,lorrd sketches. artis,ically attract

HOW BAGGAGE Is HANDLED.
The system Employed on One EaiiroaA
In New England.

The System Employed on One EailroaA
In New England.
1.-THE summer tourist business of
Maine, rs we are able to measure it
by our baggage, has increased from
u to Is per cent n year for the last
four or FIVE years, :" said General Bag
gage Agent Towle, of the Maine Cen
trail, the other day.
The amount of baggage carried is
Z very gupd measure of the number
Of persons travelling. On an average
two persons &C with every piece of
checked baggage, but the number of
pieceso baggage cannot be depended
ON as an exact indication of the
absolute number of persons travel
ing, since the system OF returns
adopted 10y the railroad gives on
some routes two reports for each
piece. Bit for the increases OF
volume of travel from year to year,
the baggage returns are n very good
measure. The months for the tourist
travel are July, August and Septeln-
her,"
Mr.. Towle'ssystem of handling the
baggage of the Maine Central system
is simple and effective. Every train
baggage master and every station
agent makes a daily report Of every
piece Of baggage that he has handled,
describing its nature, whether trunk
orvalise, the number and kind OF the
check placed upon it, the place
whence it starts and its destination.
The return forms arc uniform in cv-
erything but color. Those for the
main line are white. except for that
portion east Of Bangor and on the
mountain division, which are buff.
Tor tho branches blue forms are
used. In g large case, with pigeon
hole for every station, are filed the
station agents daily returns; the
train returns are separately filed.
If passcn ger loses piece of bag
gage Mr.. Towle's Office is informed,
the number of check and name of
station whence it started being given.
The clerk steps to the case, takes the
return Of the station from its pigeon
hole, finds the baggage reported and
a complete description of it, and the
train on which it was put. He then
turns to the train report and finds
what was done with it and the sta
ton where it was put off. The re-
turns of the second station will show
its receipt. In less than five min
utes the piece of baggage is located
if it has simply gone astray. OF
course if it has hccn stolen there
must be further search.
As all evidence of the thorough
ness of the system it may be men
toned that for all tho great amount
Of baggage handled in four months
by the Maine Central there was but
one piece for which it is responsible
that it has not been 0hle to account
for successfully. - Portland (Me.)
