Ballyhooly Lemonade.

| Mr.. Balfour has in his day been
the victim of the irrepressible lob.
byist. During his tenure of the Irish
seoretaryship he received one morn.
ing in March (being st. Patrick s
day. at the house of commons an
oaken octagonal shaped box about
ten inches in length. On the box be-
ing opened bunch of shamrocks
with a card bearing the inscription,
"From sincere admirer," was
found inside, and underneath layer
of some white compound, through
which could plainly be discerned a
steel spring. Mr.. Balfour is not a
timid man, but the contents of the
box were sufficient to excite unoom.
Portable thoughts Of dynamite and
Internal machines in the mind of
the bravest.
The chief secretary, therefore,
deemed it well before further ex-
plorations to send for an official of
the house of parliament who is bit
of an analytical chemist, and on his
arrival they both set to work to un-
ravel the mystery in Mr.. Balfour's
room, much to the terror of the pri-
vate secretaries, who were momen-
tarily expecting terrible explosion.
For moment the chemist was puz-
zled, but putting particle of the
compound upon his tongue he dis
covered that it was simply sugar i'm
pregnated with lemon.
On turning the box upside down
out rolled an antiquated corkscrew,
spiral spring and a we'll worn nut
meg crater, and on the bottom was
a paper bearing these words: "Buy
the whisky yourself. You can then
concoct the famous lemonade of Bal |

How the Human Race Is Vanishing.
A study of the military records of |
Europe proves that in 1910 the aver.
age height of man was feet inches.
During the following 100 years this
average decreased to 5 feet z 1-2
inches. In 1890 the average was only
5 feet 6 inches, and in 1920 it was but
5 feet 5 inches. At the present time it
is but 5 feet 8 1-2 inches. 1t is an easy
mater to deduoe statistics from the
above figures to prove that human
stature is gradually on the decline.
Figuring upward, using the same
ratio, we find that Adam s sons and |
averaged 16 feet inches
in height, and at the opening of the |
Christian era the average height was
q fraction over 9 feet. Looking into
the dim future, we can see a time
only 1000 years hence when human
stature will be reduced to an average
Of only 15 inches. Louis Repub.

produced for the community of 500 souls
who will dwell in this home by that
time.
The engine will also be attached as
occasion requires, to the deep we'll where
pure soft water is brought up from some
eighty five feet below the surface to be
used for drinking and culinary purposes,
and the tank on the top of the hill will
be kept filled supplying good pressure
of water in the Underground mains and
pipes which distribute this refreshing
healthy water throughout the home.

ture already up and enclosed.
Some of the old buildings are being
moved to improve the general arrange
ment of the place, more in accord with
its increasing size. We noticed in par
ticular new street being surveyed east
and west which will be delightful. 1t
has been christened ''Juno Avenue. =
In fact, the general aspect of the whole
scene impressed us very much like the
growth of an embryo city during the
booming days of '.auld lang syne'.
The members speak with enthusiastic
praise of the new cOmmandant. \ more
military character has been added to the
institution. At the last meeting the
board ordered that every member of the
home shall wear uniform at all times eX-
cept when on fatigue duty, and that of
the officers shall show the Insignia of
their rank. The board also fixed the
rank of each officer rs follows: Com
mandan: G. NJ. Cunningham is colonel !:
Surgeon E. II. Schellack is major:
Quartermaster John W. SidlOw is captain
and Ad jutant S. H. Thomas is first
lieutenant. Hereafter when these
gentlemen appear on the streets of
Dode City, it will be noticed that the in
sigma of rank will appear upon their
uniform.

MEMORIAL SERVICES.
Held at Plymouth Church in Memory of
Miss Susan S. Rich.

A touching service il memory of Miss
SuA'an S. Rich, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
Andrew J. Rich, was held at the Ply
mou til church yesterday afternoon. Rev
Mr.. ate, pastor of the First Baptist
church, officiated. The floral offerings
were many and beautiful. All the
church societies with which Miss Rich
had been connected were represented by
some token of affectionate remembrance.
After the reading of selections from the
Scripture, and the singing of appropriate
hymns, Mr.. Gate said, From the human
point of view, death is hard to under
stand. A career has closed, and then
it is said of a man, he succeeded in life.
Perhaps that means that he was
successful business man; perhaps that
he was an original investigator; but the
highest and best meaning would be
His life was victorious through Christ
On the human side the more we think
of the mystery of death the farther we
are from q solution, but the closer we
get to the standpoint of Jesus Christ the
more we feel that our lives are IN His
ndUuSS
by his words, And no man shall be able
to pluck them out of my hand From a
human standpoint death seems to end
all. We know no finally like that OF
death, bus from the standpoint of our
Lord we know that it is not the real
end, but rather the real beginning.

A Result of Liquor Fines.

Bangor, January 5.-Penobscot coun-
ty is now entirely out of debt. The last
outstanding hond has been paid. and
next Tuesday, at 2 P. M, the pleasant
ceremony of burning the bonds will take
place at the county commissioners Office.
Members of the Penobscot Bar and few
invited friends will be present. This of
course places the county in the best Of
condition financially. but in addition,
WI. Wood, chairman of the county
commissioners, informed reporter today
that the amount of unpaid taxes was
larger than ever before at the beginning
of new year, and that the county has
the tidy little sum of $25, 900 in the treas
ury. 81 will also state" said MIR. Wood,
that during the last six years we have
reduced our tax from $500 to $4,000,
or nearly one half. We consider this a
pre- tty good record"
