A Quiet Fourth.

The glorious anniversary OF our inde-
pendence as nation was ushered in with
the usual accompaniment OF bell-ringing
and other demonstrations suited to the
occasion.
A large bonfire lit the darkness Of the
| night In the vicinity OF the railroad yard,
| and drum corps came out and contrib
uted few choice selections to the general
pandemonium.
The spirit Of mischief was also abroad,
secreting signs, Juggling off doorsteps and
otherwise making 1t interesting for the
peaceful citizen, who forty years ago
might possibly have seen some fun in 1t.
With the coming Of DAYLIGHT, however,
Sabbatarian stiffness settled over the vii
lage, relieved now and then by the ubi-
quitous urchin armed with firecracker.
A good share Of the inha bitants went out
of town to celebrate, and the remainder
INDUCED in picnics.
The members OF the Rebekah lodge with
their friends, the Odd Fellows and some
other invited guests, celebrated the glo-
rious Fourth by picnic in Mr.. Smiths
grove on Prospect hill. 1t was very
pleasant and successful affair as the threat
ened rain did not come. About sixty peo-
pie were present. The ladies served an
elegant and bountiful dinner, and he
would have been a very odd fellow in
deed who did not enjoy it. At the close
OF the feast, the Rev. Homer White read
patriotic poem, entitled "Ballad of BEN
nington Battle.n Swings and hammocks
were provided for the children, the young
men engaged in game of baseball, and
some OF the older men renewed their youth
by game Of quoits. A beautiful view OF
the village and surrounding country is
had from this hill, and after social after
noon the picnickers left the fair scene
with regret
A smaller party, composed Of young
people, spent the day very pleasantly in
grove on another side of the hill.
In the Sault Hollow grove, the Good
Templars rallied to the number of 200, and
passed a most delightful day in picnic
fashion. The program as printed in these
columns two weeks ago was quite faithful
ly carried out, the only change being the
substitution Of a drum corps for quar-
tette. The able address delivered by the
Rev. George l.. Story of Milton was lis
tened to with both pleasure and profit,
and the other exercises of the day were in
harmony with the occasion. Mrs. Morse
Baker of Granville, N. Y, was also pres
ent and spoke very acceptably to the peo-
pie. In the evening, a large audience
gathered in the Christian church to listen
TO an interesting program. +. Il. Carter
of Boston, who was to have been the
speaker of the evening, was unable to be
present, and an excellent address was
made by the Rev. Seward Robson in his |
place. Mrs. N g. N 'Gregor sang three solos
with great effect, and Miss Eethelynd |
Gould gave recitation, "Lotties Mes |
sage which was received with applause.
The basket part of the picnic was thor
oughly enjoyed, and, altogether, the mass
meeting was pronounced genuine sue

similar mishap not long ago.
A piece Of lead, weighing twenty-five
grains, and more than half an inch long,
was removed Friday morning from the
arm OF A. Curby, where it had been EN-
bedded for thirtytwo years. The oper-
alton was performed at the Office OF the

The lead was a piece of the bullet that
wounded Mr.. CURLY the 18th OF May, 1854,
at Drury's Bluff, when General Butler was
attempting to push his way into Rich
mond from the rear. Mr.. CURLY has car

but the arm began to pain him lately and
it was thought best to have the operation
performed.

Those Silent Whistles.

Coming home few days ago from a
short absence was greatly oppressed as
time came in the morning for the mills to
open not to hear a single whistle calling
men to work.
For three successive days listened to
that impressive silence with increasing
burden of mind 1.-The expression of that
burden is put into these hasty lines.
For the first time during my residence
in Randolph has this unusual silence of
the mill whistles been heard. They tell
us 'sshere is music in the air." but | never
realized as now that there was so much
music in these steam whistles. MY
ears long to hear their morning calls again.
/ have been proud of them and the evil
dences which they represented, when
friends have been at my house and one
after another OF these mills have signalled
to their men, '.Time's up-Fall in Every
man to his work now"

the undeyeloped enterprise, the unem-
ployed capital>of the village will very
tous opportunities for their use go by
without Improvement

According to one authority, the word
dollar" is corruption of the German
word "thaler," the form in Dutch be.
ing "daalder. All these different forms
were derived from Joachim's Thai, a
Bohemian town, where the count of
Schlick, A. d 1918, coined some ex.
cellent pieces in silver of one ounce in
weight. From the name of the town
came Joachim's thalcr, applied to the
above named coins as well as that of
schlicken thalcr Hence, Joachim's
thaler pieces were first contracted into
Joachlm's thalers and then into thalers.
These coins gained such reputation
that they became pattern, so that
others Of the same kind, though made
in other places, took the name, the word
assuming different spelling through the
low countries, reaching Spain as dol.
lars, and through its provinces trans.
mitted to the western hemisphere, where
it was applied to coins prior to the
adoption Of the federal currency. In
coinage the word dollar is favorite
being found, under various spellings, in
almost every part of the globe.

CANDLE POWER.
How to Measure the Lighting Force and
Effect of Flame.

Efcct Of a Flame.
This question and its answer have
been until recently of interest to scien-
lists only. But since one method of
lighting is competing with the other
for superiority the question of lighting
power has seemingly become public
matter How many candle power? The
question isvery simple and yet mysteri-
Gus to the layman.
For measuring the lighting power the
most reliable results are obtained by
means of grease spot. In its most sim
pie application the experiment can be
tried easily at home. A sheet of white
paper with a grease spot in the center
is put into frame and placed between
two flames of different lighting power
for instance, between all ordinary
candle and u lamp
When the frame is equally distant
from the two uncqually bright flames,
the grease spot can be seen plainly Oh
both sides. By moving the frame with
the sheet of paper slowly toward the
less brilliant Hght-that is, the candle
1t Will arrive finally at a point where
the grease spct has apparently disap-
pcarcd On both sides Of the paper This
deception must always occur when on
both sides of the paper IA equal bright
ness prevails and 10 siao light exists.
Having reached this point, it can be
asccrtaincd how much stronger is the
light Of the lamp than that OF the can
die.
If the candle is 90 inches distant from
the paper and the lamp 60 inches and
yet the brightness on both sides of the
paper is the same, then the light of the
lamp will be as strong as that of nine
candles. The calculation is based upon
tho distances, the figures of which are
multiplied by themselves and then di-
vidcd-here for instance, 60 times so
divided BY 20 multiplied by 20 equals 0.
This, of course, is the NEST primitive
method for measuring light, but it is
the principle for all the delicate instru-
ments used in the laboratories Pear.
