4 Weeping Tree.

She weeping tree of the Canary is
lands is one Of the wonders of plant
life. 1t is of the laurel family and
rains down copious shower of water
drops from its tufted foliage. This
water often collects at the foot of the
tree and forms a kind of pond, from
which the inhabitants of the neighbor-
hood can supply themselves with a bev-
erage that is absolutely fresh and pura.
The water comes out OF the tree itself
through innumerable little pores stu
ated at the margin of the leaves. It Is
sues from the plant as vapor during the
daytime when the heat is sufficiently
great to preserve it in that condition,
but in the evening, when the tempera-
ture has lowered very much, consid.
cradle quantity of it is exuded in the
form of liquid drops that collect near
the edges of the leaves until these mem
bers so bend down under their increas-
ing weight, as to pass, for them, the
angle of the limit of repose, when the
drops tumble off on the ground below
In veritable shower.

UNCONSCIOUS FALL.
In w hich Adam Wise Fell Through "a
Piate Glass Window and Is
Seriously Injured.

In Which Adam Wise Fell Through !,
Plate Glass Window and Is
Seriously Injured.
At 1:3O Tuesday evening people in
the vicinity of Bucks hardware store
were startled by seeing a man turn, reel
and fall through the plate glass door of
the store. The attention of those who
did not witness the fall was attracted
by the crashing of glass and a crowd
gathered Immediately about Adam
Wise, the fallen and unconscious man.
Mr. Wise had been standing in front
of the store talking to Mr.. Frank
Wheeler. He suddenly became uncon,
sciOus and fell cutting his nose badly
and sustaining deeply punctured
wound in one knee. He was carried to
his office, still unconscious, where he re.
celved prompt medical attention after
which he was carried home where he
was resting easy next morning.
Mr.. Wise said next morning the
seizure came upon him without warn:
ing and that he was unable to assign
any cause for it. The knee wound is
the only one that is likely to prove
serious.

Our Nayy.

As compared with the great naval
powers OF Europe our fleet of war ves-
sells is inferior numerically. while the
enlisted force OF the navy Is hardly
large enough to man the ships already
in commission, or soon to be placed In
active service; but the ships are IN
questionably equal, and in some cases
superior, to any of their kind afloat,
while officers and men are second to
none in the world in intelligence, cour-
age and unelfsh and patriotic devo-
ton to duty.

Last evening the Fisk Jubilee singers
(colOred) gave musical entertainment
at the opera house under the auspices
of the Epworth League of the Nj. f.
church. The seating capacity of the
place was comfortably filled, and with
the exception of considerable ANNOYANCE
from the gallery fiends the entertain
ment was enjoye by all present. Those
who are familiar with the melodies of
the colored people both in church and
plantation songs know how to appre.
ciate their music We understand the
society cleared small sum by the en-.
tertainment
We are informed by Dr. jackson that
the report regarding Thos. Tobin, who
died in the insane asylum a short time
ago, being in charge of the train that
was wrecked at Battle Creek, Mich, is
not true. He had not been on that
road for several weeks before the dis
aster occurred. He also tells us that
there is on trial at Battle Creek, at this
time a man by the name of Adam Ar.
mold, charged with the murder of his
son, which will no doubt be as sensa
tional as the Haywood and Durranl
murder trials.

AN uNnoNoaEp HERO IN TOWN.

AN uNhONOREO HERO IN TOWN.
An elderly man might have been seen
riding along our streets, few days ago,
who richly deserves gold medal and
the gratitude of the community for
sterling heroism In civil life. For It was
owing to his seemingly reckless courage
and prompt calculation and acting at a
critical moment, whereby he risked his
own life, with the odds largely against
him, that many persons were saved from
broken limbs and death.
This man was Mr.. Albert Perry Blake
Of South Bethel, who has just been visit
ing Bridgton connections; well-to-do
farmer, q quiet, genial. worthy gentle.
man. The occasion was the Waterford
centennial celebration, twenty years age
this month. Mr.. Blake was then In the
prime OF life, weighed nearly or quite
200 lbs, and was muscular and power
full. There was great crowd present
all Of 1900 people. The exercises were
held at the Flat" on the grassy common
opposite the Waterford House, where
there was speakers stand, and long
rows OF plank seats.
The forenoon exercises were followed
by dinner to the crowd in q field lit
tie to the west Of the platform, and the
company was just assembling sgain Ia
front Of the stand, when horse tied
near an opposite stable broke away and
came plunging into the crowd near the
stand with the post and section OF ths
picket fence to which he was hitched
OF course Wild panic ensued.
There was one man who was cool ant
self-possessed, who rose to the cmer
gency. That VAS Perry Blake, who In
an instant took in the situation, decided
how and what to do, and did It. AZ thu
big, affrighted, desperate animal dashet
around the corner OF building. MIR
Blake took the shorter arc on the Other
side OF the building, sprang to her, grasp
ed her nostrils with one hand, and thu
halter with the other, and, TO the specta.
tors astonishment, brought her to {
halt. Had he missed his aim with eithel
hand, ii would have been "all day Will
him." AS the section OF the picket fence
hanging to the horse was on the side
next TO him. He took his life In hi
hands, as he we'll knew when he made
tit uNepNiaNS attehPt' bue ~ "o' -" y"
spiration to save the lives OF Others
which impelled him to that heroic act.
As II WAS, before Mr.. Blake could
reach the horse three persons were bad
" injured. viz. Andrew Woodbury. o
Sweden, leg broken below the knee:
daughter OF George Locke OF Norway
leg broken above the knee: and Franz
Hobson OF North Waterford, consider
ably injured. The wounded were born'
into the Browne (Artemus Ward house
where their wounds were dressed by
some six or eight surgeons, who fortu
nately were at the celebration.
Having accomplished his noble pur
pose. Mr.. Blake modestly and quickl!
mingled with the crowd, and very few
knew-not even the newspaper mel
present-the name OF the man 10 who's
valor and strength scores OF person
owed their salvation.-Bridgton News
