Peculiarly Related.

The relation between the crocodile
and the bird trochilus on the banks of
the Nile is peculiar. This bird per.
forms two services for the crocodile.
1t enters it's mouth and dispatches
there the worms and leeches which
trouble the crocodile; it flies rapidly
away, giving vent to a peculiar cry,
when the ichneumon. the enemy of the
crocodile. approaches. thus apprising
it's companion of the ichneumon's pres
ence. In return the crocodile shakes
it's tail whenever it wishes to close its
mouth, thus giving the bird warning.
The crocodile in no wise recompenses,
but contents itself with respecting the
person of the little animal.

slightly or noticeable.
A little camphor and water should be
used as a wash for the mouth and
throat if the breath is not sweet.
Dissolve a little salt in the alcohol
that is to be used for sponging cloth
ing, particularly where there are grease
spots.

Of the best remedies for toothache. II
your iodine is too strong from age di
lutte it with little alcohol.
AS far as possible iron by the thread
that is, pull the material straight
and endeavor to move the iron tn the
same line with the thread Of the cloth.
Candy should not be stirred while
boiling, and the favoring should not
be added until candy is cooked. Granu-
lated sugar is best for almost any kind
OF candy.
A small table. round or square, can
be made into a beautiful ornament by
covering the top with velvet, plush or
satin and lacking on ribbons OF various
colors. with gilt crescents or stars at
the ends.
Dried fruit, IL soaked twenty four
hours instead of over night, is made

little grange peel added to prunes,
peaches and dried apples adds much
to their flavor.

fighting power was looked on as a
great piece of daring. Her first encoun-
ter with British man-of-war in the
war OF 1872 gave the young country a
thrill of power and made it feel that in
its budding merchant marine there was
a future pregnant with hope and
strength. There were not many ships,
even among those of the old nations
of Europe, that could have done what
"Old Ironsides" did when she captured
the Guerriere, on Aug. II. 1912. She
gained the reputation of being a clever
ship when she eluded whole squad
ron of Britishers, and she became
known as inyincible by the long line of
victories.

Capt. Hull, who was her commander
in the most notable of her engage

and the story of that engagement will
endure while there is union jack in
existence. The Guerrero was a larger
ship than the Constitution, but the fight
lasted only thirty minutes The Brit
ish lost seventy-nine men. whereas the
American lost but fourteen. When
Capt. Hull brought his prize into Bos-

proclaiming him the hero of the day,

BY the Governor.
BYRON BOYD,
Secretary of State.
Sincerely Mourncd.

Those who knew the late Seth L..
Milliken sincerely mourn his death and
the great less to this district, lie served
so faithfully. 1t is sorrow that
obliterates partisan lines and 1t is felt
keenly by men of all political views.
In serving the interests of his constit-
uents Mr.. Milliken drew no partisan dis
tinctions. His death, moreover, is d
shock to the people. Notwithstanding
that alarming report of his condition
sent out Saturday night. This report
had reached but a comparatively small
part of his district, so that news of the
death will, perhaps, be the first which
many will hear. In this city until ll.5o
Sunday evening all the reports received
indicated that he had passed the crisis
and was more comfortable. How false
was this hope, so fondly cherished, all
now keenly realize. The insidious and
terrible disease had gone beyond the
reach of medical skill. 1t appears that
he had become weakened by uHuue eA-
ertions in the early stages. struggling
with mdomitable purpose so character
istic OF him not to yield to it and to
perform the work which he felt must
be DONE Not until the disease had
fatal hold upon him did he take his
bed. He died in the prime of his
powers and in the performance of duty.
The loss is mourned not only by rela-
tives and friends but by the State,
which has received credit from his bril-
liant abilities, by this district with it's
substantial proofs of his faithfulnesg
and efficiency, and by the Maine dele
cation of which he was a helpful and
congenial member. He was kind and
affectionate husband and father, he
was a true friend and generous in his
impulses toward all, accordingly it il
not surprising that all feel in his death
the sense of personal loss, sorrow
that is sincere.

Another Warning.

tt would seem, after the publicity

at the time and ten years later by the
trial of the men charged with the
crime. that nearly 90 years later bank
ing institutions in small places woulo
not still remain in such exposed cohdi-
ton. an incentive to even the mex
perienced bank robber. 1t certainly Is
to be hoped and, it would seem. ought
to be expected that the small COM
munities, like Somersworth. N. H., VIII
profit from the awful experience
afforded by that tragedy of last week.
The location of the bank, the sense OF
security which leads the villager to re-
tire at night with windows and doors
unlocked, afforded the encouragement
for Just what happened at Somers-
worth, as they did at Dexter 20 years
ago. Nor was there in town anyone
skilled in the work of experimenting
criminals, no one to take immediate
and effective measures for pursuit
These conditions invite the attention OF
the rascals who find supervision OF
them in the larger cities bar to sue
cessful operation. How the petty
criminals swarm over the country is
appreciated to some extent at least by
the people of this State where every
summer a series of petty burglaries eX-
cite general feeling of alarm, which,
however, owing to lack of protec-
ton and absence of any system
fer detecting the knaves, results in
nothing. The only reason that the
greater criminals do not operate more
extensively in the country where such
easy opportunities are afforded is prob
ably because their haunts, movements
and methods are known to the police
of all the larger places so that they
dare not make any extended campaign
into a territory where the risk would
for them be great and the booty com
paratively small. The lesser lights,
however. seem to operate in the coun
try places with impunity. 1t is time
the rural communities realized that the
New England of today is not that of
half century ago,when the hired man,
usually a neighbor. could be taken into
the family. when all the precauton
needed was directed against soina
munity. who preferred to steal his
provisions rather than work for them.
The marvellous facilities for apprehend
ing criminals have been attained since
that time but in too many places there
has beaa made no effort to take adj
vantage of them.
