Buried Loaf Twenty.flve wears

Buried Loaf Twenty-Five Years Old
twenty-five years ago Timothy Mon
ahan, of Bath, Steuben County, pur.
chased a farm near Portage Bridge.
He has lived on the farm ever since.
On part Of the property was a. piece Of
heavy timber, which Monohan cleared
off twenty years ago. In field where
this timber stood Monahan was digging
ditch few days ago. To do this he
had to dig through deposit of gravel
four feet deep. At that depth he I'M
covered what he at first thought was
big stone nearly round, but on striking
it with his pick to loosen it he was sur
prised to see the pick pass clear through
it without meeting any resistance.
Monahan then picked up the supposed
stone and his amazement was great to
find it to be loaf of bread The loaf
was in perfect condition, even to the
crisp, brown crust. 1t was as soft,
light and moist inside as if it had just
come from the oven. Tho loaf broke In
two as he was removing it from its
bed in the gravel. He fed half of it to
his dog, who ate it greedily. The other
half of the loaf Monahan carried to his
house, where it is now, wonder to the
neighborhood Monahan declares that
I the ground where the loaf was found
had never been broken during his quar-
ter of a century on the place-Buffalo

Boyhood owes a debt of gratitude >

Boyhood owes a debt of gratitude
"The British Medical Journal" which,
in one of its recent issues, explodes the
fallacy with regard to early rising.
Courageously turning its back on all
the wisdom of the past, and in fragrant
contradiction with all those writer's of
moral essays concerning greatness
achieved by early rising, this leading
medical authority takes the part of the
sleepy youth against his wakeful par
ents. We learn now that it is natural
and proper for elderly people to rise
at or a. m, because their vascular
system has become stiff; but that it is
equally natural and proper for the
healthy boy to keep his bed till 8.
Henceforth boys must deny them
selves such violent delights as rising
with the lark, and their elders must
cease encouraging them in SO vicious
practice.

Some things about the administration
of city affairs in Boston may not be
all that they should be, but the pro-
posal to do away with the city council
will not better the matter 1t will only
place the government further from the
people. The danger of corruption is
always increased when power is con-
centrated in few hands. Such power
naturally tends to concentration, and
this tendency is one that ought to be
discouraged instead of being fostered
by legislation If the people have not
enough public spirit to keep the Off
Gals honest when they have the right
of self government, there will be no
improvement by taking the power from
them The political bosses who will
rule by autocratic power will be then
subject to no restraint.

1t is probable that the report sent
from Pueblo to Canada to the effect
that pleuro-pneumonia exists among
cattle in the southwestern states is, az
department officials believe, mere
echo of the report that the disease ex-
listed in Kansas That report, how
ever, was shown to be without founda-
ton in fact. Canadian officials may
watch very carefully all cattle import
ed from the United States, but it Is
not probable that they will discover
pleuro pneumonia, for Investigations
by the department of agriculture, 1t Is
claimed, have failed to show the ex-
istence of single case of that disease
in this country in the last two years.

An American education which does
not comprise patriotism as one of its
branches is lacking in an essential fea-
ture 1t is incomplete. Especially is
this true In our republic, wherein "all
men are born free and equal" In any
country where government rests on
the consent of the governed-and this
alone-it is important to its future
greatness that love of home and coun-
try, the flag and all it represents,
should be underlying principles per-
manently fixed. And nation where
this love is grated, inculcated, and
purtured in the hearts of the young and
rising generation, there need be no
fear of a lack Of loyalty on the part of
its citizenship, to meet later on any
emergency which can arise, hostile to
its institutions or threatening its sta
bility.

DR.. Westbrook Farrer, Of Biddeford,
Me-, is said to be physician in active
practice, though 9S years old, and, still
more remarkable, to be in the habit Of
visiting his patients regularly on bi,
cycle. He attributes his exceptional
vigor at the advanced age to the use
of wintergreen tea, of which he is said
to be an ardent advocate.

Queen Victoria has sixty pianos in
