BOY AND CIGARETTE.
lie Gets BADLY Mixed Up with a Barrel
Which Didn't Like Fire.

The venerable and familiar moral
tale OF the bad little boy who offered
the circus elephant a chew of tobacco
is far surpassed by the new and strict
ly truthful story of 11-year-old Harry
Manning of Waltham, Mass, says Har-
per's Weekly. Harry had been learn
ing to smoke ciragettes and one after
noon about a fortnight ago he was sit
ting on a barrel behind Northrup's
grocery practicng when he heard foot
steps Not caring TO smoke IN company,
he dropped his lighted ciragette into
the bung-hole Of The barrel on which
he sat. The statement is that when the
moral elephant in the other story re-
ceiyed the chew Of tobacco he seized
Tommy. the eyil-doer, by the coat coll
lar with the thumb and finger of his
trunk and threw him harshly out
through the roof of the circus tent. The
event in Harry's case was still more

NESSING The TIDES.
They should he Made to Furnish Flee
tricity 10 Large Cities.

The tides of the North and East
rivers produce power enough to gener-
ate all the electricity to light New
York and Brooklyn. TO do all the me-
chanical work in the factories and ma
chine shops and to run all the railroad
lines in the city and suburbs. says the
North American Review. This power
is wasted, as formerly all the power of
Niagara was allowed to eXpend itself
in profitless way. All that is required
is to store this immense power and turn
it into profitable use The problem
presented differs somewhat from that
of Niagara The tides are periodic and
not constant and the power would have
to be collected at the times of its great
est eXertion and stored FOR later use.
The Niagara people have already pro-
posed to run 4 line to New York to do
what the tides of the Hudson and East
rivers would accomplish right at home.
Either undertaking is a large one, re-
curing the expenditure OF millions of
dollars. But the results would more
than justify the outlay. An mex
haUstble supply of power from outside
would prove a blessing that could
hardly be appreciated to-day. The
present cumbersome delivery of coal to
factories and private houses would be
abolished, and a clean, neat, pleasant
method substituted. The plant could
be located at some convenient place in
the suburbs or along the river front
where the city air would not be Initiated
and poisoned by coal gases, dust and
smoke. What applies to New York and
Brooklyn would apply to many other
cities. The tides of the Delaware and
Chesapeake could be converted into ia
cNhaustible power to give the cities
along the coast a perfect and cheap
electric plant The great inland rivers
are not so constant in the summer sea-
son as the tides of the rivers and bays
along the Atlantic coast. The rush OF
the waters through the narrow inleta
OF our bays and rivers is so tremendous
that enormous machinery could be pro-
pelled at a cost representing a small
percentage on the capital iii the plant.
The present outlook is that the Niagara
Falls Power company will in time run
an electric conduit to New York to sup
ply the motive and lighting power of
the city and suburbs, unless some en-
torprising body OF capitalists under
takes to utilize the wasted power of the
tides nearer to home \ conduit cap
able Of bringing 100000 to 200. 900 horse
power from Niagara would cost more
than four-track steam railway. The

that as a general rule there is no need

tain troubles, such as those of the
throat and pharynx, or cases of perl

the doctor says that it is by no means
certain that it has anything to do with
the cancer of the lips or tongue. He
would allow to habitual smokers two or
three mild cigars even in cases of or
ganic affections of the heart, but would
exercise great caution in nervous az

Among the visitors who came down
to witness the joint debate that didn't
take place last Saturday We're Messrs-

Mr. Carl Wunsch entertained the au
dience with an interesting talk on the
German army as it is to to day.
The joint debate that should have
taken place at Nennig's last Saturday
evening was declared off, owing to the
failure ofthose who were to represent
the Stanhope Literary Society to put
in an appearance. A large crowd had
assembled to witness the debate and
much disappointment was felt at the
absence of the opposition and their
neglect to send explanations. Some
suspicious as to the probable cause
of their non arrival found expression,
but these suspicious We're perhaps TN
founded. Their reasons can only be
conjectured as no explanations have
| been vouchsafed.
The school board meeting held at
Nennig's last Monday was well attend

the discussions. The subject of ven
