RoYcoTTE THE FAKIRs.

The business men of Clinton, Mass,
have agreed that in the future they
will place no advertisements in any
program or advertising sheet circulat-
ed by in or out-of-town parties. In
taking this step they say that they are
compelled by the demands that have
been made upon them the past winter,
and in fact the past few years, to re-
fuse to advertise in these affairs, and
in so doing they are following in the
footsteps of the merchants of Wor-
cester, Fitchburg and Leominster
This is all right. No tradesman who
refuses to patronize snap sheets will
have cause to repent his action..Ex.

HE CASA eRANnE VALLEY cANAL
Three aneer Tennessee Farmers.

There is in Tennessee a family of three sisters which presents some of the most startling peculiarities imag- inahle. The three sisters live together on a farm, their sole means of sub- sistence, and work early and late to earn livelihood. Two of them work in the field; the third does the cooking and other housework. There is but one period of the year when any member of the trio has anything to say to any other member. All during the winter, spring and summer they go about their business with the seal of silence on their lips. When fall comes and the crop is harvested they break the si- lence, aud then only to quarrel over the division of the proceeds. When each has succeeded in getting all that she thinks possible, silence reigns again un- til the next harvest time. The sisters, as you may judge, have made name for themselves. They are known far and near as the deaf and dumb trip lets, although such title is scarcely ap- propriate.-Washington Post.
