A curious fact is the tobacco plants
habit of erecting its leaves at shutdown
and dropping them at sunrise. OF course
it is only possible while the plant is
immature-while the upper leaves are
not more than two-thirds developed
but it is SO marked as to make wide
difference in the looks of field ut
evening and ~ hours later. And the re-
suits are so beneficent as to make it
seem the result Of reason, for il the dew
fall is heavy it all runs down to the
stalk. trickles down to the root and
thus fortifies it against the blazing sun,
while if the leaves remained in pendu-
lous spread the moisture would either
drop from their points beyond reach or
Else evaporate in the morning sun

Alexander wadsworth Of Boston died
at his residence, 10 West Cedar Street,
in that city, on Tuesday, February 10.
Mr.. wadsworth was native Of this
town, and at the time of his death was
nearly % years of age, he having been
born on May 6, 1906. He attended the
academy at Fryeburg some so years ago,
and at the time of his death was probably
the oldest surviving alumnus OF the In
stitution. The funeral, which took
place on Friday afternoon, Feb. Is, was
conducted by Rev. Charles G. Ames,
pastor Of the Church Of the Disciples,
and WAS Of the simplest character. The
clergyman read the sd Psalm and other
selections from the Bible, and followed
the scriptural reading with prayer. He
pronounced brief eulogy upon the life
Of the deceased, saying that he felt
that here had been found an example Of
the noblest work Of God, for the life
which had attained to such maturity
had been one Of simple, honest faithful
ness-a life whose experiences were .
lesson Of trust and faith 10 the existence
beyond the present. Mr.. wadsworth's
death he considered as but the simple
completion Of a good earthly history,
after months of WEAKNESS and pain.
There was no music, and, with the
benediction and the committal service,
which was read at the house, the brief
service ended. The burial, which was
at Mount Auburn cemetery, WAS private.
Mr.. Wadsworth's vocation was that Of
surveyor.
