We Need the CnrfAM.

A Brunswick paper wants the curfew
to sonnd in that city to the end that
bad boys may be made to get off the
streets at night. If it would have that
effect some towns would like to keep
it sounding all day and all night, says
an exchange, and we agree with it.
Boys were bad in our day, we are ready
to admit, but they were not so "devil-
ish as as they are now, The old time
didn't have as much rope Jas boys are
allowed in this day and generation.
Parents had more time to look after
them. People were not SO bent on get
ting rich in those days and were less
disposed to allow their children to run
at large on the streets and rear them
selves. The curfew would run them
indoors at night, and that would result
in great good to them and prevent a
vast amount of worry sand anxiety on
the part of mothers. Give us the cur
few.

THE VERMONT ELECTION.
The Granite State Shows Greatly Increas-
ed Republican Majority.


The September state elections opened
Tuesday with Vermont, and although
no one expected any better OF the
Granite state than republican VIC
tory, yet the returns furnish some
food for reflection.
The only indication that the YER
mont election was expected to show
| was whether or not party lines are
breaking. We do not believe any one
will seriously deny that the returns
leave no room for doubt. Indeed, the
returns show that the democrat
ic party only received a compliment
sry vote.
The returns from seventy-one towns
give the republicans 1902 against
1919 for the democrats, and the
republican majority lin the Estate is
200 as against II, 1856 four years ago,
an increase of nearly 10000.
The house of representatives with
PA members will not contain more
than dozen democrats, and the senate
will be composed entirely of republic
cans.
AS above stated. the result indicates
nothing except that party lines were
broken and democrats, to the number
OF at least fifteen or twenty Thousand,
voted with the republicans, while the
populists and prohibitionists did the
same, the vote of these parties being
considerably less this year than hereto
fore.
Greater interest centers in the Maine
state election than any of the other
early contests, because that state is the
home of Mr.. Sewall, the democratic
vice presidential candidate. The Maine
election occurs on September 14th, and
while the state will go republican, yet
the result will be important as showing
to what extent the republican strength
in that state has been diminished or in
creased, and whether or not Mr.. Sewall
has any hope of carrying his own state
in the national election-which he does
not stand the ghost of chance to do.

BITTEN BY A SKUNK.
Trees as He Rushed Through the
Woods.

Allen Miller, residing at Moultrie set
Element, near st. Augustine. Fla. was
bitten by skunk on Wednesday and at
once gave signs of hydrophobia.
Before he was secured he bit his step
son badly, and ran through the woods
biting trees and everything coming his
way. He was tied to bed, and, in a
paroxysm, broke the leashing and escap-
ed to the woods, severely biting two of
his keepers, one dangerously.
Application has been made for the
sheriff and posse to hunt for and capt
ure Miller, who is raving maniac.
Women and children in the settlement
are telrorized, and as word is passed
about houses are barricaded against the
man, who, when last seen, was biting
cattle.

His Writing Reversed.

Drs. Richards and Gordon, Of
Quincy, held consultation Thursday
over the case of Postmaster Charles
f. Wilde, of Wollaston, which has
been puzzling the public during the
past week. After careful diagnosis
of the case the physicians decided
that he was suffering from congestion
of the base of the brain aud that the
disease had been developing during
quite long period. One popularity
of his mental condition has been a
change in his method of writing. In
stead of writing from left to right, as
he has previously been accustomed to
do, he has. during his sickness, when
attempting to write, reversed the
style and has written backhanded, or
from right 10 left. Thursday he wrote
his name in his ordinary manner, how
ever, which was considered striking
sign of improvement in his condition
by his physicians and friends. Boston

The Evacuation of Fort ontario.

On July 10 next will occur the one
hundredth anniversary of the British
evacuation of Fort Ontario at Oswego,
which was the last place over which
the flag of Great Britain waved in the
United States. When that flag was
hauled down the American flag took
its place, and ever since has waved
there. A public meeting of citizens
of Oswego, called by the Mayor, has
been held, at which it was determined
to celebrate this centennial, with a
civil day, a military day, and a So
ciety day, with sham battle and rep
etition OF the forts capture in 1872.
The Knights of Pythias are organic

to interest the Federal aud State au'

tennial, which has a National signih-

COrpses lented for pIsseectlon.

The terror that the average colored
woman has of the medical students
and colleges is absolutely overpower-
ing. Few people relish the idea of be-
ing carved up after death, but this
feeling seems especially accentuated
in the bosom of the colored woman,
especially if she comes from the coun-
try. Many of them cannot be hired
to go by a medical college after night,
for they fear being captured by the
students aud dissected alive. 1t is
hardly to be wondered that there is a
superstitious dread of the surgeons
knife. as so many 'stihs" are required
on the many dissecting tables OF tho
Louisville medical colleges. There is
large supply from penal and other
institutions, but the demand is great.
AS a result it is not uncommon for the
medical colleges TO rent corpses. The
body will generally be sent vita a note
requesting that the face be not mutt
lated. The remains are then placed
in the ootiln with the clothing prop
erlY arranged about the unmutilated
face, and none besides those who are
parties TO the transaction are any tho
wiser.-Louisville Courier-Journal.

Chief Fernow, of the Forestry
Division at Washington, D. c., makes
some valuable suggestions in his
eleventh bulletin. The bulletin
states that the South can make the
cultivation of the cork oak very prof
liable in time. We pay about $2,-
900, 900 n year for imported cork, and
prices are steadily rising. The Gov
ernment distributed cork oak acorns
in the South as far back as 1858, and
there are now standing several cork
trees in the Southern States, one of
them as far north as middle Georgia.
A large one is now standing in Mis-
sissippi City, Miss, and there are
probably twentyssin California. The
fact that the tree will flourish in
the South has been demonstrated.
The waffle tree, native of Australia,
is also recommended for cultivation.
1t belongs to the acacia family, and
contains more tannic acid than the
oak. 1t is propagated from seeds,
which are soaked until soft in boiling
water before planting. This tree will
do we'll in warm climates. This euca-
lyptus is recommended on account Of
its rapid growth, the value of the
wood and the oil contained in the foli-
age. Some claim that it is an antidote
for malaria. The bamboo deserves a
trial, maintains the Atlanta Constltu-
tuition. 1t is not a tree but a giant
grass, allied to our cane. One variety
grows in Florida, where it has been
known to grow foot day in height,
and reach twenty-five feet in single
season. It is in demand for many
useful and ornamental purposes. We
have been wasting our forests long
enough. Why not turn over a new
leaf and try the trees recommended by
ths Forestry Division?
