By the death of this worthy man on
Saturday last, May s, Canaan loses one
of its most respected and upright citi-
zans. He was born in Hartland, and
was the son of James and Hannah (Mc-
Causland) Church. He was happily
married in 1858 to Eunice Wheeler, of
Canaan, who survives him. lie spent all
his welded life on the farm where he
died. He was a fine representative of
the sturdy yeomanry of New England.
Energetic, industrious, and Christian in
spirit, he lived useful life, and served
his generation well. He was one of the
selectmen for eight years, a length of
service which indicates the confidence of
his fellow townsmen in him. He was
the father of large family of children,

Hiram j. and Miss Charlotte j. Church,
Canaan; William w. and Mrs. Cora NJ

sisters. The funeral took place on Tues
day afternoon at the Union church and
was conducted by Rev. G. V. Hanson.
The floral tributes were choice. A choir
led by A. F. Sanford furnished fitting
tribute of song.

The war between Greece and Turkey

are ratified between Greece and the
powers. The government at Athens &C
cepts the conditions imposed and ode
clares it will proceed to recall the troops
from Crete, adheres formally to autono-

of Greece to the hands of the powers"
In fact, Greece is in a position where she
can do nothing else. just how Turkey
will take the mediation of the powers re-
mains to be seen. Turkey is modelling
her troops and evidently has some mo-
tive for doing so, but just what it is, will
only be disclosed by future events.

About the Cube Root.

New York Herald: To find the cube
root of any given number of figures
off hand seems an almost impossible
feat. but yet it is simple enough when
one knows how to do it-so simple, in
deed, that any bright boy can learn
TO do it in a few weeks.
First he must know exactly what a
cube js-namely, that 1t is the result of
multiplying one number by itself, and
then multiplying the product by the
original number. Thus 8 multiplied by
s equals 9, and 8 multiplied by 3, the
original number, produces 27, which,
consequently, is the cube of g. The
cube root Of q is the original number
8. and to find the cube root is the re-
verse of finding the cube. The would
be adept at this art should first study
carefully the following figures:
Ix1x1- /; 2x2x2- s; 9x3x3- 81;
4x4x4- 81; 5x5x5-125; 6x6x6-216;
7x7x7-34S SxSxS-512; 9x9x9-729.
a close study of these figures shows
that multiplied in this manner by
itself results in s, that s multiplied by
itself has as a final figure, that 8
multiplied by itself has as q final
figure, that multiplied by itself has
8 as a. final figure, and that 4, 5, 6 z.ld
multiplied by themselves have their
original figures as finals. Hence the
artist knows that any sum given TO
him, the final figure of which is s. must
have as a cube root; that if the final
figure be 9, the cube root must be g.
and so on.
For example. give him the figures Of
"a. 0SS, and ne can at once tell that ~ is
the cube root, for the reason that "A
has 4 as a cube root, as the cube of
is g. while the cube of is 125, much
more than "a, and 0sS has as a cube
root. Or give him more difficult
problem, as, fer example, the figures
324. 369 Then he viii see at a glance
that 324 is more than ZIG, which is the
cube root of s. but is less than 343, the
cube root of z; therefore, the cube root
of these three figures IS 6. In like man

BEES HOLD A HOUSE.
Complicated Situation at Elizabeth,
New Jersey.


Elizabeth, n. J., Aug. 23..Bees by
the thousands have during the last few
months made honey and fourished in
a palatial residence in North Broad
street, abandoned by the owner for the
summer and the municipal officers are
very much worried because the bees
must be banished from the house and
every one shirks the dangerous task.
A contractor was ordered 20 overhaul
the house, make some alterations and
put it in good condition for occupancy.
With several men he began operations.
The shutters of the house had been
closed and it was dark inside. The men
CROPPED about until one found a gas jet
and struck a match. A humming noise
like a sawmill on full time was heard,
and the astonished men saw cloud of
angry bees descending upon them.
The men pulled off coats and hats to
fight the savage insects away. The
bees stung numerically and when the
men finally reached outer air they we're
in agony. The contractor was anxious
to get to work, as it was q, hurry or
der, but the men refused to go back
while the bees were there. The con-
tractor thought that by using sulphur
in a charcoal stove he could kill the
bees and proceed with the alterations.
He took the stove up to the house and
Colonel w. NJ Morton came along. The
colonel convinced the contractor that
he would be liable for cruelty if he
killed the bees and insisted that the
board of health could be forced to get
rid of the insects. The contractor
notified the inspector of the existence
of a nuisance and asked to have it
abated AS a result a special messen-
ger was sent with the notice to the
president of the Society of Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals to have the bees
removed.
The members of the society were
called together and they found it nee
essary to appeal for legal advice.
The board of health then took the
case up and decided that the health in
spector was just the man to do the
business. A member of the board
shouldered formaldehyde apparatus
and went to the house. The bees We're
waiting for him and he rapidly re-
treated, leaving the bee killer in the
hands of the insect enemy. The con-
tractor notified the city attorney that
the regular authorities had failed to
abate a nuisance, and he was going to
charge the city for the time wasted
waiting for the bees to be removed. 1t
is supposed that there are hundreds of
pounds of honey in the besieged house.
