Quarterly Report OF Benevolent Society.
For the first quarter ending
March 2S, $72.55 was collected
in dues; $4.15 donated; total
amount received, $76.60.
The following articles were
donated: Fifteen bundles of
clothing, one mattress and bed
ding. all of the value of $1,000.
Provisions to the amount of
$4.00 were donated. All these
provisions have been distribul-
ed to worthy persons.
Sixty-four dollars in cash
spent for provisions, stoves,
fuel and medicine for sixteen
different families.
Homes furnished for sixteen
different persons, and work Sc
cured for eight parties.
1t has been our aim to thor
oughly canvass the town for
membership, so that everyone
might know our object and
have an opportunity to help in
worthy cause. 1t has been
our aim to aid all that were in
need of help; and all who have
applied to us for help have re-
ceived it, if, after investigation.
we found them worthy, there
being only three parties who
have applied to MS that have
not received our assistance.
The society finally refused
to continue helping one family.
when we found that their cir
cumstances had been misrepre-
sented.
This society is non-sectarian,
and we desire the efforts of all
denominations who are inclined
to assist in our work. We
probably have not reached
every family that needed assist
ance the past winter, but we
have never failed TO visit al
cases reported TO US.
We have a membership OF
221, and 1t is our aim to collect
the dues through the summer,
so there will be funds in the
treasury for the coming winter
We desire to think all who have
aided us in our work, and espe
cially to the soliciting commit
tees. We had in the treasury

Wild Gardens.

A few years ago new idea was In
troduced into horticulture, known as
wild gardens. This simply means
that certain flowers were to be per.
mitted to grow wild, SO as to initiate
similar collections of beauty found In
u state of nature. These wild gardens
were of some extent, and would not
be practicable in limited areas; but
much could be done by allowing one
or two species of plants to become, IN
a measure, wild. For instance, one
may have group of some half dozen
trees, or perhaps less and plant snow
drops, crocuses, daffodiis, lilies of the
valley, er any similar plant that could
take care of itself in partial shade. and
leave them there to their own devices
from year to year. Little permanent
groups of this kind, suffered to take
on q natural character, add very much
to the pleasures of gar 1ening.-

Third Set of Upper Teeth.

Mrs. j. J. Lower, an aged lady, re-
siding at Orrville. Wayne County,
Ohio, is experiencing singular freak
of nature in the way of cutting her
third set OF upper teeth, she having
lost her original second set ten years
ago, after severe attack of sickness.
EARLY last fall she suffered greatly
from weakness of her eyesight and an
infiamed condition of her eyes. Since
then she also suffered from much
swelling and pain of the gums. The
result is large-sized eye tooth, which
is almost full grown, while other teeth
are rapidly pushing their way through
the gums. Dr.. Eugene D. Wager, vino
extracted aud made Mrs. Lowers arti-
fetal teeth, pronounces the case al
most unknown in the history OF den-
tistry Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Science at Fault.

Tn the trial OF q suit for SlO,00O
personal damages, at Columbus, Ohio,
a few days ago, the Judge decided that
the plaintiff must submit to an exam
nation by the x rays, as demanded
by the defense, to ascertain the nature
of the alleged injuries to the plain.
tifs's bones. On the other hand, a suit
has lust been commenced at the CHI
cago, for $4,000 personal damages,
against recognized expert IN the
operation of extracting bullets found
by the aid of the rays. The plaintiff
in this case had been carrying the
bullet in his breast for two years, and
although it did not trouble him, his
employer, physician, advised him to
undergo the operation. He alleges
that the expert kept his body exposed
thirty-five minutes to the rays; that
he suffered much while the bullet was
extracted, and as q result sore on
his breast two inches in diameter has
developed, which will probably never
heal entirely.
The injurious effects to patients
caused by the application of the X
rays have been heretofore noticed. In
some cases, it has been noticed, when
the head of a patient has been exposed
to the action of the rays, that at the
| points exposed to the raysthe hair has
come out never to grow again, while
in other cases sore has been devel-
oped, as in the present case. AS be-
tween carrying bullets or other foreign
substances in the body, Or sustaining
permanent injuries from the effects Of
the rays, it will be difficult for suffer
ers to decide "whether to- suffer the
ills they have or flee to Others they
know not Of" There is evidently
some hitch in the matter, and much
vet to be learned of the effects OF thu
rays puon the body. Prudent people
will naturally hesitate before submit
ting to their application until science
shall ascertain just how and when i

How the Lobster Feeds.

OF the two big claws OF the LOBSTER
one is usually slenderer and more
pointed than the other, which is thick
and chubby. OF the tooth-like pro-
iections in the jaws OF. the LOBSTER
claws, those in the slender claw sre
pointed, smaller, and far more numer-
Gus than those in the jaws OF the
larger claw, which are rounded ana
blunt.. The slender claw with It's
sharp teeth is used for Selling and
holding; the powerful, chubby jaw,
with its blunt teeth, for crushing.
The lobster eats crustaceans OF varl-
GUS kinds, CLAIMS and crabs and shrlmps
and SO on, vnd it catches and eats live
fish. It will eat dead fish, too, bnt 1t
nrefers live ones. 1t cracks the shells
Of crustaceans between the blunt
teeth of its crushing claw and then
oats the meat, with perhaps some
small fragments of tho she'll. IL
catches fish in its slender big claw.
The lobster may lie partly under a
rock. or concealed under some marine
vegetation, with it's big claws extended
and half buried in the sand. The slen-
der claw with the sharp teeth Is open'
like q pair of shears. One cutting
edge-that of the lower part OF the
claw, which is buried-is level WIN
the surface the other and simmer
part of the claw is raised at an angle
in the water. The lobster can work
it's cutting claw much more quickly
than it's crushing claw, and can close
it very suddenly.
Along comes a fatfsh, swimming
perhaps between the open jaws OF the
Holsters sharp claw, when there is
clear water. Then down comes the
upper part of the claw. catching the
flatfish about midway of its length and
maybe cutting it half in two. The
fiatfsh can squirm and wriggle. but
escape is impossible. Pretty soon the
lobster reaches the fish over to the
crushing claw, and in its more ponder
Gus jaws the fish's head is crushed
Then the lobster proceeds TO eat 1t.

"People" or persons"

A correspondent Of the Critic IS re-
minded by something "that there Is one
word which is misused by every jour-
nalist and every author wherever the
english language is written-the word
.people.'" The misuse complained of
consists in using people as the plural
of person." and an instance OF 1t Is
credited to Mr.. Howells, who Is criti-
icised for writing of three people" sit
ting in a room. The authority who crit
icises him points out that people" Is
collective noun, and can properly be ap-
piled only to nation, a tribe, class,
or community, and that such phrase
as fifty people were injured is STOP
py English" "For twenty-five years,
saws this complainant, II have kept my
eve on this little word people, and l
have yet to find a single English or
American author who does not misuse
it."
II seems to have occurred to him that
grammar is subservient to language,
and notNanguage to grammar. II the
hest British and American authors fol
the last twenty-five years have occa
sionally used people" in the sense OF
persons" there would seem to be war
rant for the suspicion that in the pres
ent status of the English language thai
usage is permissible. Persons" Is
hard worked word, and writer's whose
literary ear Is sensitive will hardly b.

at times by using people" in its stead
Whenever the misuse Of familiar wore

a Oueetion OF Ships.

Tho fundamental principle OF nASis"
Hon and therefore the controlling ele- |
mentary law of maritime strategy, IL
the physical law Of displacement-ena'
q floating vessel invariably weighs
neither more nor less than the quantity
of water which Its immersed part ois-
places. 1t Is a consequence OF this
law that the weight of ship OF given
size is constant Within certain limits
a builder may distribute the weight
as he pleases. He may assign so much
to hull, so much to engine Of propul-
sion and the remainder to cargo. Fol
a given speed, the weight OF engines
for ships of the same size will be much
the same. The builder, therefore, must
choose between assigning weight to HUI
or giving it to cargo. A very strong
hull means reduced carrying capacity,
a great carrying capacity means hull
of the lightest possible construction
To these elementary conditions is due
the difference between q ship or wa.
ord merchant ship; the merchant snip
must necessarily be constructed to car
nv the greatest weight of cargo possible
consistent with hull strong enough fol
navigation. and with propulsion suf'
ficient for the speed required in Its
business.
The moment the hull Is unnecessarily
strengthened the ship will cease to be
able to compete as a carrier with Other
ships of the same size and speed which
4, having lighter hulls, can carry more
cargo. A ship built with a hull spe
cially strengthened in order to with
stand the various shocks OF battle can
not in peaceful trade pay as com

Elsie has reached the age, her parents
think, where she should be taught
something of the rewards and punish
ments hereafter. The description Of
the angelic hosts especially interested
her. An angel, she was told, is that
part of us that lives forever, either in
bliss for its goodness or In torment for
wickedness. The other day she saw a
picture purporting to be that of an
angel. After studying it carefully, she
turned to her mother with: Mamma,
