SHE HAD GROWN.
The Woman Paid the Street Car Fare for
the Child.

The Woman Paid the Street Car Fare for
the Child.
Two women got in a street ca. says
the New York Sun, one with a long
legged little girl. She gave the con-
ductor two fares.
Five cents more. You'll have to
pay for that child, ma'am."
PAY for Laury? Well! we'll"
She opened leather purse to look
for pennies. With difficulty they were
fshed out separately. Meanwhile she
discoursed:
Dye see, Laury? I'm payin' for
you. Ye can't sit on mammy's lap any
more. She's always climbin' for my
knee"
Addressing the car: "She's our only
one. Laury, We must tell your paw
you're little lady now; we've been
paid for. Ye can't sit on mammy's
knee no more. Dear me, how time
flies" She took in the car with COM
prehensive glance, then turned on her
friend by her side. 1T don't seem no
time at all since Laury was born. Re-
becca, you remember, or was you away
from home? 1t was that warm. But
Laury's little lady, now. She's been
paid for"
aThe long-legged girl leaned shyly
against her mother, who put her arm
around the child and pressed her to her
side. The amused smile of the car
changed to one of sympathy, and a
lonely old fellow in the corner with
speckled silk stockings had a tear in
his eve

SUGGESTIONS OF THE TURKS.
They Are Not Contaminated by Western
Civilization.

lhty are NBN NOhtAlhlNaNeu DIV western
Civilization.
The superstition OF the Turks is no.
where so apparent as in their fear Of
the EVIL eye" Jugs placed around
the edge of the roof, or an old shoe
filed with garlic and beets lblue glass
balls or rings are a sure guard against
this illusion. Whenevera pretty child
is playing upon the street the passer-
by will say: "Gh. what an ugly
childl" for fear OF melting the evil
spirit against its beauty. The peasant
classes in Turkey are. of course, the
most superstitious, because theyare the
most ignorant. They have no educa-
ton whatever, and can neither read
nor write. STEAMBOAT is the only great
city of which they know. Paris is a
term signifying the whole outside
world. An American missionary was
once asked: I'm what part of Paris is
American" Yet it can be said that
that they are generally honest and al
ways patient They earn about six to
eight cents day. This will furnish
them with ellmeli end pilaff, and that
is all they expect. They eat meat only
on feast days, and then only mutton.
The tax gatherer is their only griev-
ance; they look upon him as a necessa-
ry evil. They have no idea of being
ground down under the oppressor's
iron heel. Yet they are happy because
they are contented and have no envy.
The poorer, the more ignorant a Turk
is the better he seems to be. AS he
gets money and power, and becomes
contaminated" by western civiliza-
ton he deteriorates.

1nrenuIty OF the Quail.

Quail leave the nest the moment they
are Matched. They have been seen
running through the grass with bits
of shell clinging to them. They do not
stay in the nest Il moment longer than
necessary to get their land legs" but
run away through the grass, followed
by the mother, who watches over them
until they are old enough to take care
of themselves. When suddenly sur
prised by man or dog the mother will
try to draw attention away from her
brood by running along the ground
with dropping wing pretending to be
wounded. The young quail flatten
themselves out on the ground and re-
main motionless. When the mother
has succeeded in enticing the object Of
her fear a sufficient distance from her
young she will suddenly rise and fly
away with the swiftness of an arrow.

MexIco's Earthly Paradise.

There is a section OF country in the
state of Vera Cruz, Mexico, having an
area of about 80 square miles, which is
locally known as heaven" The eli
mate is perfection itself; its water, air
and other general environments being
conducive to extraordinary longevity.
Within the 30 square miles comprising
this Mexican heaven there are more
centenarians than in any whole state
of our union. The papers mention it
as somewhat odd" that the recent flu
neral of man who died at l54 was
attended by his three sons, whose ages
were ia, 100 and l32 respectively.

THE sRERBROOKE FAIR.

Final arrangements have been
made with the different railways for
a special train service for the Sher-
brooke fair next week, and the asso-
citation is to be congratulated upon
having obtained much better train
service rates and excursions than
have ever before been granted in con-
nection with the fair. The Boston
& Maine will run special excursions
as far south as St. Johnsbury and
the Maine Central have made ar
rangements to run two special eX-
cursions by way of COokshire, and
the Canadian Pacific and all the
roads have given exceptionally low
rates. More entries have been re-
ceived for the main building than can
we'll be accommodated and in all
classes of live stock, etc, entries are
pouring in thick and fast. Never
were there brighter prospects for
gigantic success than for the coming
exhibition

AN A. p. i. LECTURE.

Rev. Hugh Montgomery of Lowell,
Mass, gave fearless and very inter
esting talk at Music Hall on Mon
day evening, on the A. P. A. move
ment, the causes which called the or
ganizati into being, and the neces-
sity for an earnest application of its
principles. Mr.. Montgomery is an
entertaining speaker, he had a large
audience, and he gave them great
many hard cold facts, to prove the
genuine need for organized devotion
to institutions entirely American.
The audience followed the speaker
closely and frequently interrupted
him with bursts of applause.

The Sherbrooke Gazette of August
24 contained the following: Lem
uel Farwell whose death is an
nounced in today's paper, for many
years filled the important office of
Crown Land Agent for this district.
About three years ago he had a
stroke of paralysis from which he
partially recovered SO as to enable
him to attend to the duties of his of
fee until about two years ago when
he became too feeble to continue its
active work. He was, however, re-
tained in the position until about six
months ago when he was relieved
upon an allowance. He remained in
the enjoyment of his mental faculties
and was able TO meet his friends un-
til four weeks ago when he had
further attack which confined him to
his bed until released by death on
the morning Of Thursday last, 23d
inst. He was a kind husband and
father, and a true, sincere and faith
ful friend. His death will be mourned
by all who had the privilege ofknow-
ing him. He leaves a wife and two
sons, viz, DR.. w. A. Farwell. of this
city, and Alberr L. Farwell, of ST.

4 SEVERE STORM.

One of the Severest thunder storms
that ever struck this section oc-
CURED on Saturday afternoon about
five O'Clock. The wind blew a per-
feet hurricane and drove the hail and
rain down in sheets. The storm par
took somewhat of the nature of a
cyclone, and large branches were
twisted off from several trees in diff
ferent parts of the town. Two or
three of the thunder crashes were
especially startling, and the bolts
struck in at least two places. c. J.
Humphreys house in Summerville
was hit, but no damage was done
except to one room, and the rafting
of stove lids and shaking up the Oc-
cupants of the house; a second bolt
struck the track near a signal rod
and split a tie in two. Gardens suf
lered not little from the force of the
storm.

fortunes OF the 100000 zealots who

ing word picture of that important
event in the worlds religious his

and her lecture will be upon that
wonderful empire Mrs. Todd is a
well-known literary lady and her
ecture will be worth hearing.
The entertainment by Prof. H.
L. Southwick and Mrs. Jessie Ell
bridge Southwick at Music Hall
Sept 81, promises to be entirely in
teresting and profitable. Prof. South
wick will deliver a lecture entitled
"The New Gospel in Oratory." Mrs.
Southwick, who is an old favOrite
here, will give a series of readings
which we feel confident in saying our
people will enjoy.
Frank D. Thompson, whose mys-
terious disappearance from 1rasburg
was recorded in last weeks CALEDO-
MAN, has returned home. His father
found him in Plattsburg, n. Y, the
first of last week. The boy was try
ing to find employment to earn mon
ey to paw up the debts of the Acade-
my ball nine. Judge Thompson had
searched Montreal and Malone, n.
Y, and found him after about a
week hunt.
During the digging of the trench
for the water pipes on Main street,
the workrnen unearthed a large cis-
tern which had been put in some
thirty years ago, opposite the build
ing now occupied by the town liquor
agency. The cistern was one used in
by-gone days for fire purposes. 1t
was a substantial affair, built to
stay, by A. S. Livingston. As there
is now no further use for it, the walls
were broken down to allow the lay
ing of the pipes in a direct line.
Gil Curry, Ham Brooks sensa-
tional trotter keeps on breaking rec
ords. At Haverhill, Mass, last
week he lowered the New England
pacing record on a half-mile track to
2.13. The time of the heat bv
quarters was 81, 1.O6a4, 1894, 2.13.
The finish was quite sensational.
Forty yards from the wire Reinsman
Brock threw down the ribbons and
let his horse come under the wire as
he pleased, making the mile in 2:13
fat. The local track record was
lowered 212 seconds, and a second
knocked off the New England half
mile track record Of PA.
The Y. NJ c. A. lecture committee
have decided to open their course
with lecture by Senator Gordon OF
Georgia, who will speak upon the
subject: Last Days OF the Confed-
eracy." He is regarded as the lead
ing orator of the South and his pat
riOtic speech in the sena te, at the
time of the Chicago riots, caused
more enthusiasm than any speech h
that has been delivered in the sena te
since the war. Among the other
talent engaged is Leland T. Powers,
dramatic reader; Rev. DR.. A. J.
Palmer, of New York, who has a
stirring war lecture; and Louis Ell
son, the ballad lecturer

A BIG FIRE.
The Factories of Jovite Piuard and B. F.
Rollins totally Destroyed.

The Factories of Jovite Pinard and 3. F.
Rollins totally Destroyed.
Another conha grafton visited this
town Friday morning and within
two hours destroyed $4,000 worth
Of factory property. The fire start
ed a little before 1 O'Clock and was
first discovered by Mrs. Walstein
Morris. When she discovered it the
flames were spreading all through
Mr.. Pinard's factory and had also
reached the Rollins shop. The bright
light was soon after seen at the de-
pot and the alarm rang at the
Avenue House box by Mail Carrier
Graves at about 1 O'Clock. The fire
undoubtedly started in the boiler
room of the Pinard shop and spread
with great rapidity through the
shop. When the fremen reached the
scene of the fire there was nothing
they could do except to protect the
adjoining property, and this they did
for several hours with a heroism
that is not excelled by the best train
ed hremen of our big cities. The fire
was the hottest that has occurred
since the great FIRE at the scale works
and the fremen had to face this in
tense heat for hours. Their efforts
were, however, re warded for they saw
aI II, ~1,@ II I,-l e
Sweeney and Daniel Thompson from
total destruction. All the buildings
adjourned the burning property and
none of them were damaged. Both
Mr.. Rollins and Mr.. Pinard are un-
stinted in their praise for our firemen.
Tovite Pinard manufactured wood
en- boxes and furniture and Mr.. Rol-
Inns made threshing and wood-saw-
ing ma machines. Both shops are wood
en- buildings and together with their
contents furnished an easy prey for
the flames.
Mr.. Pinard carried $4,000 insur-
ance and estimates his loss at about
$4,000. He employed about IS
hands and did large business. 1t is
doubtful if he will rebuild again.
Mr.. Rollins came to this town in
1S4S and began the manufacture of
horsepower machines in 1860. His
building had been erected % years
and he carried no insurance. When
business was good he employed
about dozen hands, but this sum
mer he has only had three. He had
just made extensive arrangement is
for manufacturing split pulleys from
his own patent, a branch of his busi-
ness that would increase the number
of his help and the volume of his bus
mess. He estimates his loss at $1O,-
900 and at least $500 worth of ma
chimes were burned up. He will re-
build at once and does not propose
to give up his life business even if it
mas been wiped out.
The fire was the brightest ever seen
here and hundreds Of people watched
the progress of the flames. The fire
men did not leave the place until sew
eral hours after daylight and were
called to the adjoining buildings sew
eral times during the night to extin-
guish sparks on the roof.
