She Couldn't Quite Understand Why the
 shopman Was So Gracious.
 A pretty story is told of Mrs. Harold Mccormick while she was Miss Edith Rockefeller, showing the simple manner lin which she regarded her father s great wealth.
 The incident occurred when she was | pupil at one of the fashionable New ] York schools. She, with a party of girls (irom her class, presented herself at a cer- { tain furniture dealer's to choose a gift Iim fayorite teacher. The price of the {petty writing desk, however, was more Ethan the sum in their possession. The &girls suggested that if the desk was ant they would forward the balance as soon as possible.
 I The proprietor very politely, but also Fiery decidedly, informed the girls that Do could not do as they asked. But. ," &hs saA Eff you can think of any New 4Yax business man with whom any of gOur fathers are acquainted and who Twill youch for you the matter may pos 3ibly be arranged "
 E Why" said the daughter of the treat petroleum magnate. "I think my apa has an office down on Broadway.

ELECTRICITY IN THE EARTH.
Ia It the Awful Force That Win Finally
 Destroy the World?


 "Take spade, turn np small quan tity of soil, hold portion ill your hand, hold it to your ear, then smell 1t. You will observe first a slight motion, hear a faint sound as of the moving of dis tant timber, and readily notice the odor of heat. Do you know that the forces held in your hand are from electricity i; that the earth for three feet deep is alive with the invisible power and forms the secret of vegetable life? Waves of electricity are constantly passing through the soil in unseen pillows, thus keepine the soil from souring, as the hillows of the ocean keep the waters from becoming stagnant. To demon strate this fact, go to some rock bound nool. dip out small quantity of the nolluted water, place it in bottle, cork and set aside in warm place for short time. Then take the bottle into dark room. shake the bottle, draw out the cork. .klnd you will see tiny forks of blue liehtning shoot out from the bottle, and if you keep perfectly quiet you will hear faint mutterings like thunder. This comes from the hintlike rocks prevent
 ino the unbroken flow of electricity through the soil and from the air be- coming charged and emptying itself in- to the water.
 "Electricity, as is being gradually shown. is fire--the fire of friction, if YOU will, the first known by the inhabit- ants of our globe. Look at an arc lamp and see its combined sparks as they emit from the cartoons so swiftly that they are taken for a regular flame of eye bedazzling light. In the ages to come the charge of electricity will keep on accumulating until some commotion E of the earth will cause it to ignite, when, in the twinkling of an eye. our world, with all it contains, will be en- E wrabped and consumed by confagra- B ton that will startle if not frighten the E inhabitants of other planets as they look E down upon the flaming mass and see E burn up one of the greatest works of the E Almighty's creation.

A Boston Preacher.

The Rev. Robert Macdonald is one of Boston S clergymen who may be describ- ed as sympathetic preachers. He has an easy presence ill the pulpit and face whose character denotes sympathy. When in the midst of a warm passage of his sermon, his words pour out in tor rent and by the very impetuosity with which he himself seems carried away he holds his hearers and puts his thoughts into the minds of those whom he has brought into sympathy with him. -Bos- ion Traveller.

Trouble In Putney.

A dispatch says: "Suit is to be brought
by the Racine Fire Engine company against
DR.. G. S. Foster, D. W. S. Munger, and
Capt. William Robertson, three of the most
prominent residents in Putney, to recover
the price of chemical fire engine. The
company claims that at a recent test these
three men, as a committee representing the
citizens of the town, expressed themselves
satisfied with the test and signed contract
to purchase the machine. The committee
agree that the test was satisfactory to them
selves, but that they never knowingly signed
a contract to buy the engine, and on &C
count of the fact that many of the citizens
were dissatisfied with the test, refuse to
advance payment for the engine. although
nearly a sufficient amount of money has
been placed in their hands for the estab-
lishment Of fire department. The bust
ness section of Putney has been persistent
for the past ten years in its efforts to estab-
lish fire department, and because of that
fact and the prominence of the contesting
parties lively interest in the outcome Of
the case is manifested.

"Service of thanksgiving for the %

ney as organist Of the church Of the advent,
Boston, Thursday morning, December 5,
1896" is part of dainty program brought
to our attention by John Williams. Mr..
and Mrs. Williams were present and say
it was one Of the prettiest services they ever
attended. Fully 1000 people were present;
in the evening the Massachu. etts choir guild
gave Mr.. Whitney complimentary ban
quet at the Brunswick. The Boston Jour
nal says that Mr.. Whitney became organ
list of the church of the advent in 1871 and
choir master in 1882. s'Under his tuition
many notable boy sopranos have been de-
veloped, the music of the church has at
tanned far more than local reputation,
and the compositions of Prof. Whitney
have enriched the church music of the
country" The professor has many friends
in this vicinity who will be pleased to learn
of his successes and bis increasing popu-
larity.

Death of Mary t. Stuart.

1t is scarcely too much to say that our
entire village is in mourning because of the
sudden death of Miss Mary E. Stuart. Be-
ing widely known, she was as widely be-
loved.
Her native place was Windbam. At the
age of seven she removed to this village
with her father and his family. At the age
of sixteen she graduated from the Bellows
Falls high school. After little time of
teaching she went to Vermont Academy
and graduated therefrom in the class of
1888. After her graduation from Vermont
Academy she accepted position as pri-
mary teacher in the public school of this
village, which position she held to the time
OF her death. For ten consecutive years
she taught in the same room. Then she
spent one year at Chicago University, and
last September returned to her old post,
preferring it. as she said, to any other po-
stion, because, because through her tamil
iarity with the work there, she could have
more time to devote to her home and to
her church. As teacher she was greatly
beloved by her scholars and by their par
ents as well, who ever felt that if in Miss
Stuart's care, their children would have
every possible attention bestowed upon
them.
AT the age of ! 5 she united with the Bap-
fist church of this village, and throughout
the period of her religious life she was ever
one of its most willing and efficient work.
ers In the Sabbath school, in the society
of Christian Endeavor, in the Woman's
Benevolent society, and in the Woman's
Missionary society she ever manifested the
most eager interest. She was also an ar
dent temperance worker, being for many
years member of and an officer in the
Sons of Temperance.
On Monday, November 90, only two
days after her stepmother's funeral, she
was stricken down with the same rapidly
working disease which had taken her away.
and on Wednesday afternoon, December
2, she rejoined the one from whom she
grieved SO much to have to be separated
Miss Stuart was characterized by very
much of the spirit of the Savior to whom
she early devoted herself. Faithfulness
was something she always sought for; sell
fshness was something to her almost un-
known. Her greatest delight was to do
someone some good.
The greatest sympathy is felt for her
father, S. w. Stuart, and for her imme-
date family generally. The funeral is to
take place this afternoon in the Baptist
church, her pastor, Rev. c. r. b Dodge
officiating. Beautiful floral offerings have
been presented by the church and young
peoples society, her Sunday school class,
the teachers of the public schools. her own
school the Sons of Temperance, Relief
Corps. and others.
