The city of Worcester is becoming
justly celebrated for the growing d.

she maintained the fame and reputa-

No matter what We may desire in the
various needs of manufacturing and
commercial life. we will find the same

discharge of the duties of ordinary av-
ocations, the ingenuity of man has pro
Vided many convenient and useful
helps which from their proven adapt-
ability, become of such common use
that we never stop to consider how
great and real is their value, or how
much time, expense and effort has been
expended in the development of their
production or the manufacture of the
machinery by which they are made.
The manufacture of lacks and nails for
use by shoe manufacturers and cob
blers has been brought to great per

returned to Massachusetts. At this time
the need of reinforcements in the Amer
lean army was so great that he with
one son enlisted for the war. The tide
turned soon, however, and peace being
declared and the army disbanded, he,
with his five sons, Zechariah, Asa, John,
Joseph and Benjamin, came to Maine,
then province. Four of these settled on
adjacent lots. Joseph did not take up
a farm in Norridgewock.
Benjamin and John lived and died on
the farm first occupied by them. The
other brothers went in different direc-
tons and their descendants are not nu-
merous.
The members of the family in this
section are descended from the two
brothers John and Benjamin. Three
only of their children are living, Rev.
Jas. p. Longley, son OF John, and Mrs.
Caroline Longley Bigelow and her sister,
Mrs. Sarah Longley Dinsmore, who live
in Norridgewock village, daughters of
Benjamin.
There are quite number of the sew
enth generation from John, the captive,
in this branch of the family tree, but
none, as far as we can learn, who bear
the family name.
The farms first occupied by John and
Benjamin have always continued in the
family and the reunion was holden at
the old home of John.

A NEUROLOGICAL Illusion at the
Eastern Maine State Fair.

One of the most interesting stories of
history is that of Pygmalion, the great
sculptor. 1t is brief:
HE once made an image so perfect
and beautiful that he became infatuated
with it; so much SO that night after
night he could be found in his studio, in
front of the image. praying to his gods
that it might oe endowed with life and
speak to him. One night he thought
he saw change in the statue.
He jumped up, and with his eyes almost
starting from the sockets, he beheld the
blood flowing through the image. The
muscles moved, the eyes commenced to
twitch, the mouth opened, she gasped
for breath and became living, beautiful
woman, and spoke To Pygmalon.n
Now. with the aid of science and a
great mechanical process, we are enabled
to turn solid statue, placed on Il pedes-
tai To II living, beautiful lady. Then
the next change is death. You will see
this beautiful woman, who has Just talk

skeleton remains.
Then you see the bones of the skeleton
crumble, and from the dust grows a
handsome bouquet, which Is handed to

Remember, all these changes are done
right before your eyes, on pedestal,
