A Painful Accident.

On Monday morning about O'Clock,
while Charles L. Bennett was at his work
in the drying room of the pulp mill, a
spear, used to push along on the dryer
roll to cut the paper from the roll ran
through the fleshy part of his thigh. The
spear is very sharp, 6 or 8 inches long,
and made fast to the end of a wooden
handle about 10 feet long. Bennett tried
to cut the paper from the roll, and failing
to get it off with the spear, he went in
between the reel and roll, and in the ex-
citement left the spear with the point
projecting toward him. The pulp had
wound round the dryer to such an extent
that it began to crowd the big iron roll
from its position, and Mr. Bennett was in
great danger of being crushed to DEATH
He made a rush for safety, and his leg
came in contact with the spear with such
force that the steel passed through his
thigh, just grazing the bone.-Abbeal.

The commencement exercises of Bridge

by Miss Lillian Pattin, followed by many
selections from the orchestra, numerous
dialogues, declarations and songs.
The Rev. F. B. Short of Wilmington
delivered very pleasing and instructive
address. 1t abounded with wit and origi=
nality of speech, changing into more
solemn words and very seasonable advice.
He received loud applause and vote of
thanks from the audience. A handsome
bouquet was presented to him after the
conclusion of the entertainment.
The conclusive number was the vale

installation of Rev. David E. Shaw,

The much needed rain yesterday
married to some extent the pleasures
of the installation ceremonies at
West Nottingham and reduced the
number of persons to witness the
impressive services.
The large church was filed with
people, many from a distance, to
witness the imposing ceremonies,
Notwithstanding the heavy shower
of rain which commenced about
eight o'clock in the forenoon, that
no doubt prevented many from be-
ing present, who, had the day pro-
missed to be fair, would have added
to the large audience. Several fine
singers had volunteered their SER
vices and the choir enriched by this
addition contributed much to the
pleasures of the occasion.
Rev. S. A. Martin, ID. D., of Lin
coin University, preached the SER
mon in place of Rev. M. w. Jaco-
bus, ID. D., of Hartford Connecticut,
who was prevented from attending
by sickness.
Rev. S. A. Gayley, d. D., made
the charge to the people, and Rev.
j. B. Randall made the charge to
the pastor. DR.. Gayley was mod
orator of the meeting.
The ceremony yesterday was in
some measure a Oath church ami
versary as well as the installation
of a new pastor, the church build
ing having been commenced in 1900.
The building has been several times
altered and enlarged.
Rev. James Magraw, D. D., was
the first pastor, whose term of
service ended with his death 81
years after, in 1885.
Rev. George Burrowes was the
second pastor of the church, whose
death occurred a short time since
in San Francisco, at the age of S3.
The pastorate of Mr.. Burrowes con
tinued till 1850 when he resigned
on account of dissensions which
which sprang up between a portion
Of the congregation and pastor.
Rev. A. A. Hodge succeeded Mr..
Burrowes, and was installed May
18th, 1851, whose pastorate was of
short duration, lasting but about
four years, or till August 1866.
Rev. Samuel A. Gayley, D. D.,
was installed June Is, 1856, and
after pastorate of 81 years he
preached his farewell sermon on
Sunday, June 4, 1898.
At the conclusion of the services
announcement was made from the
pulpit that a bountiful collation.
had been provided-enough for all
and would be served in the
chapel, and all were invited to par
take of the free lunch which was
fringed with ice cream and cake as
dessert. The proverbial hospitality
of the West Nottingham ladies, was
eXemplified in the bountiful provi-
sion for this occasion.
The proceedings of the meeting
of the Christian Endeavor held In
the afternoon were too late to get a
report in time for publication.

seareity of Hair Not a Sure Indication of
 Intellectual Visor.
 1t is commonly believed that absence of hair outside skull indicates the presence of intellect within Perhaps no one would go ao far as to say that every baldheaded man is clever: but most people certainly think that clever and learned men are often bald Xvi dence Of this belsef abounds in art and literature, and in the converse of every day life. The typical savant is repre- sented with cranium like billiard ball. save for q graceful fringe of snowy hair disposed aii around al tue level of the ears or thereabouts: while the man Of actiop the hero the warrior is allowed, by way of contrast. to keep his hair on as long as he pleases. both in time and space The ulterior causes Of badness are obscure. but the immediate process is no doubt a degeneration of the hair bulbs which is due to failure of nutrition and implies impaired vitality or d loss of vigor. The point needs no argH- ment. though plenty of medical evi- dence could be brought to support it. if necessary. It is universally reeog- nized that an abundance of hair gives look of youth and vigor, badness one of age and decay.
 This single feature will make man of seventy appear stronger than many a man of fifty. Everyone will admit this with respect to physical zvigor, but not of mental. Yet the two necessarily go together to a great extent and this is where the popular mistake comes in. What is vigor9 If does not lie in muscular strength as many may sup pose. but in a sound condition of the whole machine and it's several parts. and more particularly of the nervous eenters in the brain, which move. con trol and regulate all the rest. Loss of vigor means a corresponding impair ment of brain power; and though the higher centers, the seat of intellect, may not suffer obviously at first. they eventually do so. Other things being equal, the sounder man is all through the better instrument he makes for the performance of mental no less than physical work; and when his hair begins to go it is sign that he is not osound as he used to be or might be. True, he may have gained in knowledge and experie nee, and may so far be a better nan Intellectually than he was before; but he is not so good d man as he would be if he had kept his yigor while ae. quiring his knowledge. Of two men, equal in mental ability, the one who retains the more yigor possesses in a corresponding measure the greater in tellectual potency, whether it takes the form of superior energy in the present or more prolonged period of aetivity-that is to say, q green old age This seems to be the correct view on physiological grounds; and surely it is borne out by experience.-St James Gazette.

CURIOUS STORM PHENOMENA
How Birds Are stripped and Trees Rent

II ow Birds Are Stripped and Frees Rent te
 Pieces.
 Among the most astonishing effects of whirlwinds must be reckoned the wells upported facts that, on their ces. sation, birds exposed to them have been found stripped of their feathers, and people with every shred of cloth ing torn from them. These effects eau not possibly be ascribed to the wind, The force necessary would have suflieed to transport the objects away bodily.
 Numerous similar occurrences were observed in France in the tornadoes whic,l prevailed there three years ago, and these were gradually bsought nn. der investigation Over the whole re giou affected, trees were found rent in manner which could not possibly have resulted from the wind These were, first oaks split down the cen ter for length of twenty to twenty five feet; second, poplars and beeehes, for lengths of from six to twelss feet, were shivered into sticks of uniform thickness flor example. beech tree sixteen inches diameter, was split into more than five hundred sticks a centi- meter thick, two centimeters broad and three and one-half centimeters long); tfird, frs and other resinons trees had their stems cut clean through, leaving almost even surfaces.
 These phenomena, and others of kindred nature, can be'ascribed only to electricitF. 4Iow else could we explain the case of two casks standing along side each other. one ot which, the filled one, was completely destroyed (expIoded). while therother, the empty one, remained uninjured?--N ', Ad- vertiser.
