MONUMENT TO A TREE.
Newell Proposition That is ncinE
Talked of In SEoburn, Mass.

\ Newell Proposition That is ncing
Talked of in Noburn, hIass.
From the Boston Transcript
1t is not difficult task to set people
ia king about monument in the memory
of almost any dead man in these times,
but it is not often that one hears about
proposition to erect monument to a tree.
Some people think that the tree that first
bore the toothsome Baldwin apple did more
for humanity than good many men who
nave been honored with monuments, and
so it is proposed to erect such monument
in Wilmington, two miles north of North
Woburn. The matter is being talked OF in
Woburn. and the people look with favor
upon the scheme. The Inscription will be
as follows:
This pillar, erected in 1895 by the Rum
ford Historical Association, marks the
estate where, in 1888, Samuel Thompson,
esq, while locating the line of the Middle
sex canal, discovered the first Pecker
apple, later named the Baldwin. Exact
spot $50 feet west 10 degrees north"
the apple first received the name Picker
because of the <Toodpeckers around the
tree. Thompson found the apple to be
new variety, and he and his brother Abljah
caused many trees to be grated with its
scions. 1t was through the influence of
Col. Loami Baldwin the celebrated en-
sineer, that the apple gained wide
celebrity, and soon became known as the
Baldwin.

Bound to BE Killed.

From the Atlanta Constitution.
1t was in the killing scene in Fra Diavo-
To- at the New Lyceum.
Fra Diavo!o had been shot. He was
mortally wounded, but he had TO kill Beppo
before he died. He had the gun to do the
job with, and. pale and exhausted, but
nerved with determination, he half rose
and pointed the gun at his old follower,
who had betrayed him.
1t was a thrilling moment. The audi
erce held its breath. Nervous people shut
their ears to stop the shock of the report.
Fra D:avolo pulled the trigger. There
was dull click, but no report.
Although dying, Fra Diavolo looked sur
prised. He was determined to kill Beppo.
ard he whacked away again. There was
another leaden click, but no report
The audience grew nervous. They wanted
the job done and over with. They didn't
relish the experience of being kept on a
strain listening for the report of a pistol.
Bravely the dying man .ricd it a third
time. There was no sound.
And then Lorenzo, who had no possible
excuse for killing Beppo, but who had a
good gun. stepped forward and exploded
his weapon in the direction of the man
no was waiting anxiously to be slaughter
ed. Beppo had to be killed, and Lorenzo
vas equal to the job. The curtain went
down and the audience laughed
A minute or two later there was loud
report behind the curtain. The bad cart
ridge had been made to work.

Keeping Everlnstipgly Mt 1t.

From the Electrical Review.
Genius is really only the power Of making
continuous efforts. The line between fall
ure and success is so fine that we scarcely
know when We pass it-so fine that we are
often on the line and do not know 1t. How
many a man has thrown up his hands at
time when little mere effort, little
more patience. would have achieved sue
cess? As the tide goes clear out, so it
comes clear in. In business, sometimes,
prospects may seem darkest when really
they are on the turn. A little more persist
ence, little more effort, and what seemed
hopeless failure may turn to glorious sue
cess. There is no failure except In no long
er trying. There is no defeat except from
within. no really insurmountable barrier
save our own inherent weakness Of pur-
pose.

Electricity for Deafness.
rom the Boston Transcript.

From the Boston Transcript
Many advanced aurists are now Investigate
ing the effect of mechanical and electrical
vibrations in curing deafness and various
diseases of the ear. A prominent New
York practitioner has invented an instru-
ment which gives a sustained note of reed
like quality over several octaveS of the
scale. Close to the instrument is tele-
phone trarsmitter, through which the sound
passes to a receiver at the ear of the pa
tient The exact pitch at which the ear Is
found to exhibit normal symptoms Is first
ascertained. and then the corresponding
note on the instrument is started and the
concentrated vibrations are allowed to play
on the ear drum of the patient for speci-
fed time every day. Another leading au-
rist is experimenting on the effects of vari-
Gus kinds of electrical vibrations in the
treatment of ear affections. and some
promising results have been obtained.
Whatever may be the outcome of these val
liable Investigations it is certain that ordi-
nary telephone conversation is heard much
better by some people than by others. even
where there is no manifest superiority of
the organ of hearing.

Tea and Coffee for Children
ON the Popular Health MAGAZINE.

Tea and coffee should be positively inter-
dicted to all children and there should be
no exceptions to this rule. In the families
of the poorer classes 1t is found that tea
and coffee are given freely to all children
and even in the better classes tea is used
too much. The parents take 1t and the
children naturally want 1t. and when the
parents are weak the children get it. Tea
is powerful stimulant. upsetting the di-
gestion, exciting the nervous system, which
predominates In the growing child and
causing nervousness, sleeplessness and
host of other evil effects. In England,
where tea is used much more than here,
many cases of tea poisoning are seen an
nualiy at the hospitals and dispensaries
Children, who are much more susceptible
to all such powerful stimulants, are much
more powerfully affected by these bever-
ages and consequently they should never
be allowed to use them.

School Directors Have a Tilt.

The school directors Of the town Of
Superior rot into scrap at the annual
meeting held at South Range Monday
afternoon. over an attempt to unseat
four of the sub-GIstrict clerks elected 4
year ago. At that time the following
were declared entitled to seats in their
resp ctive districts:
\. &. Mcdonald, +. c. Booth, I'm
Peterson, 4. X Breed, Darwin W
>coon, Jonn VAIL and John Hay. In
the last, the seventh district, Hay holds
over, the election then having been
allowed to go by default
The row, ii appears, resulted over q
division OF the offices of president,
vice president and secretary, when the
board should meet and organize. and
the Telegram of Tuesday reports the
matter a. follows:
The basis on which the attempt was
made to Gust The four members was an

of sub-districts was increased from
three 10 seven, and temporary appoint
ments we're made until an election
could be held. This -mecting, it Is
claimed 10y the opposition, Is irregular.
James Philbrook, one of the members
and secretary of the board didn't want
the contemplated action taken and SO
he locked up the books and records
and left town. The other members,
President Nellie VI. Russell and vice
President John Leggitt, held meeting
