His Coat of Arms.

Scotchmen are gifted with kind of dry
humor that is difficult to initiate. This
member of Parliament from Edinburg was
asked by publisher the other day for
facts as to his coat of arms and other
heraldic devices. He replied that they

DR.. Morus, after an examination of

High School Notes.

Mr.. Willie HAYES '9s, has been
dangerously i'll for the past two weeks.
Mr. Blaine 5. Viles '9S, entertained a
party Of school-mates at progressive
whist on the evening OF Mar. :.
Mr.. Harold L. Hanson, 5. II, S. %,
Colby %, recently paid us a visit. We
understand sPaysou' is doing good
work at the popular institution Of learn
ing
Are you friend to the High school
and its interests If SO please attend
the concert for the benefit Of the
Juniors. Remember the date, March
20.
Hereafter, the whistle blown on
stormy days will have no effect on the
High school On many days we would
be able to attend when the weather is
not such that the younger pupils should
be exposed.
1t is to be regretted by the members of
80, that the Committee and Trustees
did not see fit to grant their request for
class day. But there were many and
good reasons why the old order of
things should not suffer change. The
principal reason in defense of the old
way is, that the citizens of our town and
our especial friends have deep interest
in our graduation and the work we are
doing for ourselves.
On Friday, Mar l3, occurred in Mil
burn Hall, the recc ,tion to the students
of Arson Academy, by Skowhegan High
School, an event for which we have been
preparing and looking happily forward
to for several weeks. In spite of the
drifted roads, about fifty students from
our sister school were present at an
early hour. The Skowhegan pupils ar
rived in good time to welcome our
guests. The first part of the evening
was spent getting acquainted and in
social conversation, the orchestra mean
while playing an impromptu selection.
The regular program of the evening
opened with selection by the orchestra,
pieces, Prof. c. A. Rogers, director.
This was Immediately followed by an
excellently rendered tenor solo by Mr..
Barry. The third number on the pro-
gram was beautiful piano solo,
played with excellent effect by Miss
Alice French. We next had the pleas
ure of listening to a guitar solo by the
talented young soloist, Miss Elsie
Walton The Senior Quartette, com
posed of Mr.. Barry, Mr.. f. w. Turner,
Mr.. Grover Mr.. Chas. Viles, who made
such chit upon their first appear
ance as quartette at High School re-
ception, now came forward with a Sc
lection which discounts any which they
have ever given before. The Quartette
was followed with violin solo, Mr..
Mills. The program was concluded
with the Chatauqua Square, fancy
dance given by eight young lady mem
bers of S. II. s., the music being per-
formed by the orchestra. Refresh
ments, consisting of sandwiches, cake,
ice-cream, coffee and sherbet were now
served by E. X. Delano, caterer. 1t was
an early hour~-in the morning-when
our guests took their departure, all de-
claring it most enjoyable evening. AS
for S. Ii. S. we put it down on our calen-
dar as one of the most pleasant events
in the annals of our school life. NJ.

Liona and Bicycle.

Itwas an odd and startling adven-
ture that befell the Rev. R. P. Ashe,
a missionary in Africa, while tour
ing on a bicycle.
He had got far in advance Of his
porters, and was spinning along at
a pretty good speed, with his eye on
the path, when suddenly he heard
noise as of animals galloping be-
side him. True enough, on glancing
to the right he discovered three
magnificent lions keeping him com.
pany.
They were 30 or 80 yards to one
side, and kept along with him for
perhaps 100 yards. Then they stop
ped, looked at him for a moment
a strange being he must have looked
in their eyes-and bounded away at
right angles, still stopping now and
then to look back, till they disap-
peared in the long grass.-Youth' 8

When the Jews Had Three Eyes.

W1Gn CQ6 O6W6 G16u 1uEco Gycbs
The Jews of eastern Palestine and
Asia Minor have a queer tradition
which has survived from ancient
times and tells Of a remote period
in their history when every fully
developed Israelite was equipped
with three perfect eyes. The two
main optics were situated in the
front part of the head, just as Jew
ish and other eyes are today, but
the third-the one that made the
early patriarch a monstrosity-was
located in the back part of his head,
just above the nape of the neck in
the edge of the hair. This wonderful
third eye in man was not "evolut-
ed" out Of existence, as useless or
gans generally are according to the
ideas of the progressive soientists),
but was closed by divine injunction
on the day when Moses was given
the tables If stone on Sinai.
You remember that Gods COM
mand on the day that the tables
were renewed was to the effect that
no man should be seen in the vioin-
ity Of the holy mount. See Exodus
xxxiv, 8. The believers in the three
eye tradition say that Moses supple
mented Gods command by order
ing the faithful who were enoamped
in the valley to turn their heads
from the mountain. This they did,
but took good care to uncover the
eye that was situated in the back
of the head. Moses, noticing this
show of duplioity on the part of his
followers, asked God to close the
third or rear eye, and since that day
the Israelites, in common with the
remainder of humanity, have been
forced to depend on two eyes only.
