"Then, too, there are certain deduc-
tions to be drawn from physiognomy
that deserve serious consideration. For
example, you can set it down as an
axiom that blue-eyed men are invariably
susceptible and sentimental. They are
simply incapable of resisting feminine
fattery, are bowled over by an ardent
glance, and will stand more watching
than a chicken thief during the dark ol

cording to the anxiety it entails. but
for my part the effect is too exhilarating.

LIGHTS OF THE HAREM."
They Rap Two American Tourists Over
the Head with Pokers.

While the two Americans, Messrs.
Allen and Sachtleben, who made BIZ
cycle tour around the world, were in
Aradan, Persia, present from the vii
lage khan was announced, as they re-
late in The Century. In stepped two
men bearing huge tray filled with
melons, apricots, sugar, rock candy,
nuts, pistachios, etc., all of which we
must, of course, turn over to the khan
keeper and his servants, and pay dou-
BILE their value to the bearers, as a pres
ent.
This polite method of extortion was
followed the next morning by one of a
bolder and more peremptory nature.
Notwithstanding the feast of the night
before at our expense, and in addition
TO furnishing US with bed-clothes which
we really ought to have been pad to
sleep in, our oily host now insisted up
on three or four prices for his lodgings.
We refused to pay him more than a
certain sum, and started to vacate the
premises. Thereupon he and his grown
son caught hold of our bicycles. Re
monstrances proving of no avail, and
being unable to force our passage
through the narrow doorway with the
bicycles in our hands. we dropped
them, and grappled with our antagon-
lists. A noisy scuff1e, and then heavy
fall ensued, but luckily we were both
on the upper side.
This unusual disturbance now brought
out the inmates of the adjoining aqde-
ROOM In a moment there was din OF
feminine screams, and flutter of gar
ments, and then-a crashing of our pith
helmets beneath the blows of pokers
and andirons. The villagers, thus
aroused, came at last to our rescue, and
at once proceeded to patch up a COM
promise. This, in view of the Anna
zonian reinforcements, who were stand
ing by in readiness for second onset,
we were more than pleased to accept.
From this inglorious combat we came
off without serious injury; but with
those gentle poker taps were knocked
out forever all the sweet delusions OF
the Light of the Harem."

TO appoint, and their duties are to
be to investigate carefully the extent
to which tuberculosis prevails among
the live stock of the state, its cause,
and best means of prevention and

SO, 900 in this work. If person
refuses to comply with any rule es-
tablised the commission may apply
TO a Judge of the supreme court, set
ting forth the facts, and if the Judge
deems the rule wise and just, and its
violation proved, he may enforce it
by mandate as in chancery proceed
ings, and refusal to comply shall
constitute contempt of court.

MRS. OLIVE c. GEORGE.

Mrs Olive C. George, widow of the late Will
liam George, and one of the Oldest residents
of the town, died at her residence in Morris
vile, Oct. s, 1894, at the advanced age of 81
years.
She was born in Claremont, N. H., Sept. 20,
1907, and was the youngest of ID children
and the last survivor of the family Her pa
rents were Daniel and Mary Uves) Atkins.
who were among the earliest settlers Of owe
removing there from Claremont in sos while
Olive c. was mere infant. In 1923 she mar
ried William George of Morristown, and soon
removed thereto with him, where she passed
her days OF this marriage there were born
to her five children, all of whom, save a son,
Samuel W. George, of Boston, Mass, as she
herself expressed it, she lived to see buried.
As wife and mother she was one of the
best, caring for but little else except to make
happiness for husband, children and friends
To those she gave the activity of her best
days. Quiet and reserved in her manners,
amable il disposition, and retiring in her ma
ture, she mingled but little with society, pre-
ferring the quiet of her home and its many
cares to the s,r and hustle of society life.
Still her ready sympathy with the unfortu-
nate and the frankness with which she well
coined all who came to her home, made her
admired and greatly beloved by large circle
of friends and in her later years became IA
miiary and lovingly known as Aunt Olive
to ALL Her last hours respent at the home
she had known for years, and where she was
tenderly cared for by her granddaughter,
Mrs. Charles B. Cramer.
1t may be interesting to many to know that
she was cousin OF the now somewhat noted
Rhoda Stearns of Bighgate, probably Yer
monts Oldest lady, she having reached 102
years and still possessing her faculties to a
remarka BILE degree. In the hands of Mrs.
Cramer is letter written to Mrs. George last

The Right Prevails

The reelection of Mason S. Stone
to the office of Superintendent of Ed
ucation by the decided majority of
SO is triumph for the right, a COM
pliment to Mr.. Stone, personally, and
the act reflects high honor upon the
body which made the election and
stamped its work with such decisive
emphasis. Appeals to personal preju-
dice, to partisan political sentiment,
Misrepresentation and false accusa-
ton, were employed against Mr..
Stones candidacy for reelection.
Had the members of the joint assem-
bly, credited one of the charges made
against Mr.. Stone, they should not
have again placed him in the respon-
sible Office from which the States
public educational interests are d.
rected. How futile were these en-
deavors, how strong in the public
confidence the superintendentstand
the issues of the contest tell.
Now let peace descend upon the
schools. Their greatest need is peace.
In the whole list of subjects before
the Legislature, we question if there
is one over which there has been so
much strife, degenerating sometimes
into factious quarreliDg, as there has
been over the schools. For wears
there was bitter contest of systems,
and letterly there have been unseen
ly and demoTalizing squabbles over
the office of the supervisory agent
The recent contest was necessary, un-
less the people and their representa-
tives were to consent to MeXicanizing
the office of superintendent. That
matter has been conclusively and
satisfactorily settled and, happily,
in it's settlement many who have not
been able to agree with Mr.. Stone in
all things have participated in a
spirit of manly good-citizenship.
The same patriotic spirit ought to
prevail in the determination of other
questions relating to the schools.
The existing system should, and we
have no doubt will be left to illus
trate it's powers for good during an
other two years. The change from
the district to the town system OF
school management has been recog-
nized as measure rendered impera-
tive by change in population during
the last generation, in all the Eastern
States in which the district was orig
inally the unit. The Western States
began on the township system. Yer
mont has been the last to yield to
the inevitable. The change was IN
avoidably attended with some fric-
ton, and legislation may now more
properly be directed to those points
for which time and experience will not
provide a lubricant, than to efforts
to breast the inevitable current OF
events. Vermont should set her face
resolutely toward the morning and
the light in this vital matter OF pub
lie instruction.-Daily Journal.

Danger From Catarrh.

The most important feature about that
common complaint, catarrh in the head, is
its tendency to develop into some other more
serious and dangerous disease The foul mat
ter dropping from the head into the bronchial
tubes or lungs is very liable to lead to bron-
chitis or consumption, that destroyer which
causes more deaths in this country than any
other disease As catarrh originates in i'm
purites in the blood, local applications can
do but little good. The common sense meth
cd of treatment is to purify the blood, and
for this purpose there is no preparation SUI
perior to Hoods Sarsaparilla. The powerful
action OF this medicine upon the blood expels
every impurity, ard by 50 doing cures ca
tarrh and gives health to theentire organism.
