 THE SPECIAL TOWN MEETING. There was a rather small attendance at the special town meeting in town hall Saturday evening, not over one hundred being present. Yalesville was well represented.
 John G. Button was chosen as chair man, with the veteran O. l. Martin as clerk
 The Improvements of the highway and appropriations under the new state law for that purpose was the object of the calling of the meeting.
 Selectman George Cook and others from Yalesville were in favor of inn proving the highway beginning at the culvert and working south, instead of beginning at the Meriden line, as the road between that point and the culvert is already in fine condition and does not at present need the Improvements as uOeS IIe SeCIlOH DeIOW. A resolution was introduced to the effect that the Colony street, south of the borough, line be continued on the east side of the railroad track. Superintendent c. s. Davidson was present and showed a map of the pro- posed change in Colony street and the land recently purchased by the railroad company east of the track, which it is proposed to give to the town, providing the street is extended to the south on the east side of the railroad track and the three grade crossing abolished. The various points of the question were discussed and Judge Hubbard express \ ed his views on the matter, which were that there was a question as to the le- ! gality of any action that could be talk en aside from the improvement of the
 road from the Meriden line south as | the town meeting held last year voted
 to improve the road from that point
 south and under the call for the pres-
 ent meeting, which seemed to be inper- feet, there was no clause inserted
 which would warrant the resembling of
 the vote of the previous meeting. I After more discussion, in which it
 was evidently the sense of the meeting that another meeting be called by the
 selectmen with the objects of the same
 more clearly stated, it was voted to ad- journ.

Cold Storage on Fishing Roats

A curious experiment has been start
ed by French fishermen, who in order
to save expense have had a fishing boat
built which has cold-storage plant in
the hold. The necessary apparatus,
condensed into as little space as posi-
BILE, is placed between the decks and
has capacity of freezing fifty barrels
of fish a day. The fish are placed in
the icehouse as soon as caught and
when the cargo is complete the boat re-
turns to port, preserving the fish in ex-
cellent condition until they can sell the
catch to advantage at time when the
market Is not glutted by the forced sale
of other fishermen, who cannot wait an
opportune moment for the disposal Of
their catch.-Ex.

Mays Love Philter.

much use in rain, and it does spoil so

But one girl that l knew didn't care

covered sofa, which you could put your
feet on, right under the east window.
For long, quiet hour there was no
sound in the library except the patter,
patter of the raindrops outside, and
the rustling Of grandpa's big New
York paper.
Then. suddenly, question came
from the chint1 sofa.

The Resting Place of Columbus.

1t is generally believed that the
bones of Columbus repose under a
church in Havana, Cuba, but the re-
cent discoveries of an English author
make it very doubtful if he is buried
there. He was first buried at Valado-
lid, Spain. This was in 1906. After
wards his remains were transferred to
monastery in Seville. Between the
years 1541 and 1549-the exact year is
not known-the bones of Columbus
were removed to Hispaniola and bur-
led in the San Domingo cathedral.
This was done upon the request of Co
lumbus daughter-in-law, to whom he
expressed the desire to be buried in
the new world he had discovered.
when the island of Hayti was coded to
France, in 119J, the Spanish authori-
ties gave orders for the removal of the
bones Of Columbus to Havana, that
they might still rest in Spanish SOIL
"a caSket containing bones was, there
fore, removed, which casket was sup
posed to contain the bones of the great
idiscoyerer. Before this last remov-
al the bodies of his two sons had been
removed from Spain and inferred in
'tlc san IoILlHSO ctluPuTdl, uedT the
body of their father. The English au-
thor above referred to now asserts
that the body removed to Havana was
the body of one Of the sons of Column
bus, and that the body of the great
navigator still rests under the San Do
mingo cathedral. He describes, with
much minuteness, the finding of a
casket under the San Domingo cathe-
dral in 1877, on which was the name OF
Columbus. calling him the discoverer.
1t is known by letter which Column
bus wrote to the king of Spain, that
before his death he suffered greatly
from wound that would not heal, and
in this late-found casket, amid the per-
ishing dust of human body, was
found leaden bullet of an ancient
make. 1t is well known that a bullet
wound. when the ball remains, is very
difficult to heal, sometimes breaking
out into running sore. The English
writer is, therefore, very certain that
the bones of Columbus are still in

Composing Manure in Winter.

A good deal will be gained II the
winter-made manure is piled in heaps
and subjected to partial fermentation,
so as to make it's fertility soluble. 1t is
a fact that cannot be too frequently
remembered that fresh animal eXcre-
ment is never Immediately beneficial to
the plants to which it is applied. we
see this in the killing of heritage IN
pastures where animals have voided
their excrement while pasturing. The
following year surrounding this excre-
ment will be found rank growth OF
grass, which will generally be left un-
eaten, because smelling and tasting
too much of the partly -decomposed ma
nure. But let this same eXcrement be
composted to fine powder, and 1t Will
enrich several square feet, and the
grass will be of better quality for it.
The composted manure has all the
ammonia that the fresh excrement had,
and in available form for use. This is
especially true If either gypsum or Ger
man potash salts are put on the heap
to absorb the ammonia. Most stable
manure is deficient in potash. The
German potash salts, known to the
trade as kainit, is the best thing to
apply to the compost heap. 1t is not
caustic, like wood ashes, and therefore
will not hasten decomposition. Neither
will the kainit delay it. The ammonia
of the fermenting manure and the pot
ash will unite, forming nitrate of am
monia or saltpetre, which is one OF
the most powerful fertilizers known.
1t is very soluble, and all compost heaps
should be kept from exposure to rains,
which will speedily leach out their
most valuable properties.-Am. Guilt

Clock Needed Winding.

A jeweler of Tuscola. Mich, says that
during the last year one clock has been
brought to him seven times for repair
and each time all that was wrong with
it was that it needed winding. Each
time he explained the cause to the
owner but after few weeks, or some
times months, the clock, being neglect
ed, would stop, the owner would shake
it, blow in it and then take it to the
jeweler, who would astonish him by
winding it and handing it back.-Ex-
