by Poultry Grit" On arriving in
Warren, n. H., we saw new sign,
THE Mica Crystal Co." As we are
interested in minerals we investgat-
ed. About 20 rods from the railroad
station we found on the hill miser-
able stone quarry of black mica (Bia-
tite) and quartz. There is more mica
than quartz. An enterprising COM
pany pay $500 annually for this
quarry, five times more than it is
worth for the same kind of stone can
be found in many places. The stone
is brittle and will take no polish, al
ways having a rough edge. In this
consists its value. The machines
grind the stone into coarse grit and
pass it over wire siveS. The result is
rounded pebbles from a small bullet
in size to the finest shot. 1t is pack
ed in bags and sold as poultry grit,
the coarsest for geese and turkeys,
the medium for ducks and hens and
the finer for chickens and canary
birds. This wonderfully aids digeS-
ton, especially in winter. Hundreds
OF tons are prepared and sold to go
to all parts of the country. This is
not all. The grinding makes a fine
stone dust which floats in the air and
then settles on the floor and is gath
cred up and sold as "Moosilauke
Polishing Powder" and tooth pow
der. There is no acid in it and moth
ing that Injuries the teeth or the most
delicate surface. This is more profit
able than an ordinary gold mine.

Eolga Tribune:-In Douglas county
the commissioners have placed all theil
seed wheat notes in the hands of a local
collection agency, and have had printed
a full list Of all parties who have Dor
r0wed seed grain from the county, which
list is to be placed in the hands Of all
grain buyers, so that the latter may
know what they are buying. A gooi
plan. Some people have less compunc
tons in beating a county than they have
in swindling IN individual. This seed
wheat deal will bear strict attention
from II county dads. By the way
where is the list Of those who received

does not need to be kept covered. Those
who pay taxes want to know who were
helped at their expense last winter.

Decoration Day at Bethel.

DSSoi otiOH Da) a. DStiiSls
At Bethel Cemetery Memorial Day is an
interesting occasion, becoming more so each
year as the large number of visitors attests.
Early in the day people begin to drive in
from the surrounding country and towns,
Middletown, Newark, Glasgow and Elkton
While many come to spend the day decorat-
ing graves, strolling through the cemetery,
sitting under the broad shady trees and in
social greeting-Others come and go during
the day and on till evening. There are some
times as many at 40 to SO teams here at one
tlme.
The Grand Army Post sent a delegation to
decorated the graves of their comrades
friends with sad hearts and willing hands dec
crate the graves of their loved ones who are
buried in this beautiful cemetery. The
cemetery contains about six acres tastefully
laid out in broad walks and drives-the hand
some tOmbs and monuments of white marble
rising above the carpet of grass so smoothly
and evenly cut, the choice flowers and shrub
berry the bright sunshine, all combine to
rob the grave of much of its sadness as we
stroll through this beautiful city of the dead
lis so well kept and so much attention paid
to it that there is nothing delapidated or
neglected in it. Almost daily during pleasant
weather some one visits the cemetery to lay
a flower on the grave of a departed one.
The location beautiful for situation, the char
acter of the soil dry and sandy, the attention
! given to it by the board of directors and the
gentlemen in charge have given it such pro-
minence that many from distance have made
it their family burial place. The bodies
Of men who have been prominent in church
! and State lie buried here.
