GOOD LIGHT-The new electric lights were
burned for the first time last Monday and
were voted great improvement. They make
twice as much light as the old Pickering gaso-
line lamps which were only 16 candle power,
while the electric lights are 80 candle power.
There has been some talk of the Town Com
missioners taking backward step in contract
ing for lights which only burn until one
O'Clock. This arises from mistaken impress
sion in regard to tie contract with the gaslight
company. 1t only called for lights until one
O'Clock, but from the nature of the materials
used, the lights did not go out promptly at
that time. OF course it was impossible to
calculate the proper amount of gasoline to put
in lamp to burn exactly till one o'clock, and
so it frequently burned later, as the error
must be on the right side. Itwould certainly
be better to have the lights burn all night,
and it is to be hoped that arrangements can
soon be made to do so, but We must cut ac-
cording to our cloth, and not endeavor to do
too much at once

The late Octave Feuillet had, it appears
an antipathy to railroads. Even In latel
life he persisted In travelling by postohaise,
and when his father high official In St
Lo, died about the close of the empire
Octave Feuillet made ready for the jour
ney to his childhood's home, but he had
not the courage to face locomotive. Az
his wife did not share his feeling, he sent
her on in advance, and for himself hired 4
carriage for the journey, which would take
him two entire days, a proceeding with,
out doubt utterly iDcomprehensible to an
American born under the shadow of the
electric pole and trolley wire, who would
welcome transit by pneumatic tube If he
could reach any point few seconds soon

AN ACCIDENTAL RIDDLE.
The Remarkable Second Reading of
Original Verse.

The Remarkable Second Reading of al
Original Verse.
1.-Two young women, for whom hat
written several riddles and puzzle yarns
having asked for something harder ,
writes Christopher L. Ward of Whining
ton, Del, Il sent them the following orig
inal riddle:
When you seek harder question
To unriddle, your suggestion,
lam sure, itself suggests its answer plain.
1t has puzzled many sages
OF many lands and ages,
But no doubt you will not tackle 1t in vain
1t will be seen that by taking the first
letter of the first line, the second of the
next and SO on for five lines the word
woman is made They deciphered this,
and to my unbounded astonishment point
ed out to me the further fact, which they
had discovered, that the letters immediate
ly following those which mado the con-
cealed word formed the word 'hussy.' In
writing it intended it only to contain
woman and had no idea that l was hid
ing any other word in similar manner.
When we consider the chances against
any word being accidentally formed in
such q way and the infinitely greater
chances against such q word being an op-
probrious synonym for the word inten-
tionally concealed, the fortuitous combi-
nation of the letters forming the second
word must be regarded as very extraor-
binary coincidence and ono worthy of note
in these days of arguments deduced from
literary ciphers. New York Critic.

DOWN IN A COAL MINE.
Lights and Shadows, Jests and snarls
Among the Black Diamonds.

Among the Black Diamonds.
All at once, far ahead, shone a little
fame, blurred and difficult of location. 1t
was tiny, indefinite thing, like wisp
light. We seemed to be looking at it
through great fog. Presently there were
two of them. They began to move to and
fro and dance before us.
After a time we came upon two men
erouching where the roof of the passage
came near to meeting the floor. If the
picture could have been brought to where
1t would have had the opposition and tho
contrast of the glorious summer time
earth, it would have been a grim and
CHASTITY thing. Bhe garments of the men
were no more sable than their faces, and
when they turned their heads to regard
our tramping party their eyeballs and teeth
shone white as bleached bones. 1t was
like the grinning of two skulls there in
the shadows. The tiny lamps in their hats
made q trembling light that left weirdly
shrouded the movements Of their limbs
and bodies. We might have been con-
fronting terrible specters.
But they said, Hello, Jim," to our
conductor. Their mouths expanded in
Bmiles-wide and startling smiles.
In a moment they turned again to their
WOTh " HeH Guo llSHtS OIL our parry IT,
enforced their two lamps, we could see
that one was busily drilling into the coal
with long, thin bar. The low roof ON
inously pressed his shoulders as he bent
at his toll. The other knelt behind him
on the loose Jumps of coal
He who worked at the drill engaged in
conversation with our guide. He looked
back over his shoulder, continuing to
poke away. when are yeh goin t. meas
ure this up, Jim?" he demanded. DO
yeh wanta git me killed."
well, I'd measure 1t up today, on'y 1
amt got me tape" replied tho other
well, when will yehf Yeh wanta hur-
ry up" said the miner. II don't wanta
git killed"
"Oh, III be down on Monda'."
"Hump!"
They engaged in a sort of alteration in
which they made jests.
you'll be carried out O. here feet first
before long"
will I?''
Yet one had to look closely to under
stand that they were not about to spring
at each others throats The vague illu-
mination created all the effects of the
snarling of two wolves.
We came upon other little low rooted
chambers, each containing two men-a
miner" who makes the blasts, and his
'laborer," who loads the coal upon the
cars and assists the miner generally. And
at each place there was this same effect of
strangely satanic smiles and eyeballs wild
and glittering in the pale glow of the
lamps.-McClurc' Magazine.

SURPRISE Box PARTY.-A crowded house
attended the concert given by the Churchville
Presbyterian Sunday School, in the new hall
at Mt. Zion, last Tuesday night. A feature
of the occasion was giving of package,
containing a prize, to each purchaser Of an
admission ticket. The supply became ex-
hausted, however, as the attendance was con-
sderably in excess of what had been antici-
pated. The programme consisted of song
and chorus by the Keen Quartette medley, by
the Bel Air Mandolin Club recitation, by Miss
Carrie Webster solo, by Miss Coale; medley,
by the Mandolin Club recitation, by Miss
Webster duet, by Misses Colburn and Coale
song and chorus, by the Keen Quartette. The
patrons were greatly pleased with the enter
tainment.

diseased portion of the ear There is only one
way to cure Deafness, and that is by constitu-

is the result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to its nor

His allwise rulings has deemed it best to re
move from us our friend and co-worker. We
sadly miss her from her accustom place
She has gone; but our hearts are cheered with
the happy consolation that to the ethereal sou
there is no death.
In the early spring, when the trees and flow
ers were about beginning to bud and blossom
she gave her heart to God and her hand to the
Church. Her beautiful and useful life. so free
from Ostentation, seemed to unfold and deVel
Cd with the blooming flowers casting a radi

ness not its own. Hers was life of Christian
devotion: ever ready and frequently foremost
in every good word and work. As the summer
waned she continued steadfast in faith and
loyal to the church. Little did we think that
when the time for leaves to fall and flowers tt
wither at the north winds blast had CONT
Death would claim her for his own. During
her last illness, although unconscious because
of extreme pain, her voice was often raised in
songs of praise, and such beautiful sentiment:
as Not now, but in that better land. Some
time! some time, Wen understand" being
stamped upon the mind, would issue forth
even when reason had left its throne.
She passed peacefully away shortly after the
midnight hour, surrounded by her loved ones
The jewel had left Its setting of clay to deck
an immortal crown in Heaven.
We laid her to rest in Rock Spring cemetery
and as the tremulous voices of loving friend:
were chanting Wen never say goodbye in
Heaven" all that remained mortal of Mamie
was covered from view.

When loved ones cross deaths sea,
That when our labors here are ended,
