The death of Mrs. D. Tibbetts casts
q gloom over our entire community ,as
she was loved by all who knew her.
She had one of those sweet, unselfsh
natures, forgetting self and working
for her loved ones and all who came

character. In the months of her in

Battlefield rxpewriters.

One of the novel features of re-
cent military tournament in Eng
land was the use of the typewriter
on the battlefield for the purpose of
recording messages from signalers.
1t is stated that the typewriter op-
orator was also an expert cyclist and
had his Remington mounted on the
handles of his machine. Riding in
and out among the horses and gun
carriages, which he did without the
slightest mishap, whenever he came
to a standstill he instantly braced up
the cycle by handy contrivance
and pounded away at the typewriter
while in the saddle. The message
when completed was sent to the com
manding officer in the rear by means
of trained dog.-St. Louis Globe

A pouble Headed Partridee.

Mr.. @. W. Dimiek, agent Of the
United States Cartridge company in
Boston, Gays that he has a double
headed partridge. Mr., DinicR found
the bird while on a fishing trip at
West Hartford, Vt. 1t was at that
time ornamenting farmers mantel-
piece. Before buying it he made in
duiries as to the genuineness of the
specimen, and with it secured four
affidavits from persons who saw and
handled the bird before it was sent
away to be stuffed. H. Hazen, sta
ton master of the Vermont Central
railroad at West Hartford, and his
wife; DR.. c, A. Sperry, the leading
physician of the place, and r. A.
Warren, son Of the man who shot
the bird, all took oaths as to it's gen.
uineness. Leban G. Warren, who
shot the bird, is dead, but the proofs
seem to be sufficiently complete to
convince the most suspicious. The
bird is female of average size, but
of unusually fine plumage, brilliant
and full of color, Both heads are
perfect. The bird evidently ate with
both bills, for both are equally de-
veloped, and the taxidermist who did
the mounting reported that it had
two msophagi leading into the one
crop.

Rare Confidence.

One of the officials of the Pennsyl-

magnificent bald head, was in a Phil

getting shaved. When he had fin

Caterpillars.

1t is a peculiar idea people have
that if they wrapa tree with cotton
it will prevent the caterpillars, the
most destructive pest we have on
trees, from climbing up into the
branches and feeding on the leaves.
The theory is all very well if the
facts were so. That is, if caterpillars
climbed up trees in the manner these
people say, it would be good way of
keeping them from the leaves. But
unfortunately caterpiHars do not
climb trees. They get there without
such endeavor The butterfly de-

Serious Business.

The following description of Boer
writing his name is quoted from Mr..
Montague's TALES of Nomad." 1t
is not impossible that some readers,
even in the United States, may rec
ogniae the picture;
In the old days the Boer seldom
used his pen, and when he did there
was regular commotion in the
house.
"Hush { Be quiet, all of you Drive
out the ducks, and the geese, and the
pigs, and the fowls. Father is going
to write his name"
And then the old gentleman, with
elbows squared on the table, would
seize the pen, with a flourish, and
putting on a determined look, as if
he were going TO tackle an adversary,
would bend down his head till it
nearly touched his left arm, write
his name, with many splutter, and
then, throwing down the pen and
pushing back the chair, would look
round with an air of mingled pride
and resignation and say:
Il have done it. Youths Com

Humility Of the Afghan Ameer.

The ameer of Afghanistan has just
published an extraordinary address
to the Afghan people, which shows
that even in semiciyilized countries
an absolute ruler feels that his abb
soluteism is the outcome of the pop
ular will. In the humblest terms
more like an electoral candidate
than a despotic sovereign de-
mands permission from his people to
visit London. He says that his visit
is prompted by zeal for religion and
the welfare of the Afghans,. and he
calls upon the people to assemble in
their village communities and to ex-
press their feelings and wishes freely
in writing. Whatever their decision
may be on the subject the ameer
says that he will obey it without a
murmur.
He then reviews all the events
which have taken place since he was
called to the throne and declares that
the happiness and prosperity which
the Afghan people now enjoy are the
outcome of the generous confidence
which the Afghans have placed in
his solicitude for the public welfare
and his paternal care of the hum
blest individual. No electoral ap-
peal in a highly civilized state can
possibly surpass this in affected hui
mility Paris American Register.

fact that Henry " of France, whom
Carnot greatly resenbled in personal
appearance, having the same nose, a
similar beard and much the same
figure, was stabbed by Ravailiac, who
jumped on his carriage wheel and
killed him. Similarly Henry III, the

by Clement, who pretended that he

Warm Drinking Water.

Warm water is preferable to cold
water as drink to persons who are
subject to dyspeptic and bilious com
plants, and it may be taken more
freely than cold water and donse-

Moths and Butterflies.

Some moths look very much like
butterflies, but there are two ways
in which you can always tell the one
from the other. Each have little
slender feelers growing from the
head, but the butterfy's feelers, OF
''antenn@," as they are called, have
knobs on the ends. The antenna of
the moth sometimes have tiny feath-
ers on them and sometimes little
spires, but they are never knobbed.
Then, too, in alighting the butterfly
always holds her wings erect, while
the moths droop or are nearly fiat.

WHAT ONE BOY THINKS.

A stitch is always dropping in the everlasting
knitting,
And the needles that I threaded, no, you
couldn't count today.
And I've hunted for the glasses till thought
my head was splitting,
When there upon her forehead as calm as
clocks they lay.
I've read to her till 1 was hoarse the Psalms and
the Epistles
When the other boys were burning tar bar
rels down the street,
And I've staid and learned my verses when /
heard their willow whistles,
And I've staid and said my chapter with fire
in both my feet.
And I've had TO walk beside her when she
went to evening meeting,
When wanted to be racing, to be kicking, to
be off,
And I've waited while she gave the folks
word or two of greeting,
First on one foot and the other, and most
strangled with cough.
IYou can talk of Young America" say, It'll
you are scarlet;
It's Old America that has the inside of the
track!''~
Then she raps Inc with her thimble and calls
me young varlet,
And then she looks so woebegone have to
take it back,
But there always is peppermint or a penny
in her pocket
There never was pocket that was half so
big and deep
And she let's the candle in my room burn way
down to the socket,
While she stews and putters round about till
am sound asleep.
There's always somebody at home when every
one is scattering.
She spreads the jam upon your bread in
way TO make you grow.
She always takes a fellows side when every
one is battering.
And when tear my jacket know just where
togo.
And when I've been in swimming after father
said shouldn't,
And mother had her slipper off according to
the rule,
1t sounds as sweet as silver, the voice that says
Il wouldn't.
The boy that won't go swimming such q day
would be foolr'
Sometimes there's something in her voice, as if
she gave u blessing,
And look at her moment, and keep still
as mouse
And who she is by this time there is no need of
guessing,
For there's nothing like u grandmother to
have about the house.

Ozone From Trees.

DR.. Kingsett, the chemist, is of the
opinion that ozone, the natural puri-
fer of the air, is produced in nature
by balsam trees-the pine, fir, larch
and eucalyptus -and it is for this
reason that those interested in hy-
gienic surroundings urge that such
trees be planted and cherished on
farms and in towns and villages.
