HE SWORE.
And This is why He swore.

An ale-loving habitant of a nearby
town visited New Hampshire a few days
ago and after RECALLING himself with his
favorite beverage, had a large jug fill
with it. He came here and left his team
at one of the stables while he did some
trading. When he came back he lifted the
jug to his lips but suddenly paused in dis
way, for it contained nothing stronger than
aqua pura. An investigation showed
Kelley cure graduate in such state of
innocuous desuetude that there were sus-
pisions the he was outside the contents of
the jug The owner of the jug hied back
to New Hampshire and when he returned
the s'""zto ale AGAIN contained refreshinc.

Valley Fair Races,

The Greenfield fair will be held the week
before the Valley fair and the exhibition
by the agricultural society at Athol the
week following the Valley fair. An effort
will be made to have the three societies CO.

in this way a large number of entries may
be secured. 1t is probable that one of the
special attractions at the Valley fair will
be running races.

ELECTRICITY AS A FAD.
American and Other Notabies Who Have
Taken Up with tho Study.


The number Of wealthy persons in
this country who study electricity as
O hobby or means of recreation is be-
coming large, and 1t Is believed that
with the now universal practice OF
including electricity as part OF tho
curriculum at our schools and col
leges the ranks of such amateurs are
destined to receive many important
accessions. In Europe the young Em-
peror William Is said to be among the
devotees Of electricity, while the zest
with which the marquis Of Salisbury
and his nephew, Arthur Balfour, go
in for electrical work is well known.
In New York city one Of our very rich
young men spends much of his time
and money in the Improvement
Of electrical launches; and ranother
wealthy member of an old family In
the interior of the state has made val
liable researches, including some on
the consumption of carbon In the pri-
mary battery, as a step toward get
ting electricity directly from coal.
Note is now made Of the diversions OF
New York banker at Schroon lake,
where this electrical amateur has
built and maintains for himself and
his neighbors a beautiful little cleo
trio light plant, and where he oper'
ates an electric launch, an electric
dingy, a search lights laboratory aud
some other trifes In this way, not
only is steady amusement derived but
many useful hints and points are
picked up that the commercial con.
Germs are glad to anvil themselves Of,
and not little interesting work of
real scientific value Is also the result

The Ciir From which the sisemore
Band Shot Down Travellers.
On the left bank Of the Holston
river in Hawkins county, Tennessee,
Is cliff which has some local fame.
1t is Of solid sto ne, perpendicular
from the base up and is something
over hundred feet high. From.the
top Of 1t ,the country Is visible for
miles and miles, affo riding grand
view of the hill, mountain and stream.
A few feet back from the edge are
still plainly to be seen the earthworks
forming the rendezvous Of tho cele-
brated SiEemore and his gang Of des-
peradoes. From tho top of the
cliff they commanded full
view Of much used public
road, together with two fords
above and below, and d great number
of hnpless soldiers as well as private
citizens who had lucklsssly incurred
their anger fell victims to their un-
erring rife bullets as they attempted
to pass all uncon scious of danger.
Very near this cliff is little cave at
least q mile deep, on the sides of
which are written the names of once
prominent people who have hong since
passed away, the dates running back
perhaps a hundr ed years. In one Of
the caverns is perfect little table
formed OF a fiat rock. During the
war this cave was used by some sol
diers as a place for making saltpeter,
the hoppers being still in state Of
preservation, the earth looking as il
Il had been dug but recently.

There is, Of course, but one United

matter of fact the designating title
which we are in the habit of assign

by four other nationalities. They

succeeded New Granada in 1861; the
United States of Venezuela in 1894,
and the United States of Brazil, which
