Miss Sutro asserts that DR.. Merritt kid

simply acted for the best interests of her
father, and that as his legal guardian
she is entitled to the custody of his per-
son. Her reasons for removing him from
the old homestead was that she might
have him at her home, where he would
receive more careful treatment and with

some Curious Publfcas ions.


Here are few items about newspapers
and magazines which may prove interea-
ing: There is "a paper in Turin which is
printed in luminous ink. The smallest
newspaper known is published in Mexi-
60. It is called El Telegrama, and is
only four inches square. The japanese
newspaper shi Clio shue Dan Kwai
Zasshi is printed OH sheets of different
colors. The first number of the Illus
ztrated Quadruple Constellation was
printed in 1858. The second number is
not due until 1858, as the promoters in
tend to issue but once every century.
The first sheet measured s by s feet.

Fish Story Time Again.

David Kelly of Surry has had a queer
experience, and in consequence believes
that smelt will never die so long as it
is kept frozen stiff. Two weeks ago he
was fishing ON Morgan's bay, where he
captured dozen or more smelts, which
he left in a pail in his little shanty, ex-
pecting to return soon and resume work.
Being called to Boston to attend the
funeral Of relative he did not return for
several days. Then he took the pail filed
with snow and ice, in which were the
smelts, and placed it in tub, pouring
over it a few gallons of warm water in
order to get the fish out whole. He then
went to the village, where he staid three
hours. When he returned every smelt
was alive and swimming around in the
tub.-Lewiston (AIe) Journal.

CHURCH SEXTON A THIEF.
Self Acting Camera Brings Surprising
Results.

self-Aoting: Camera Brings Surprising
Results.
The novel feat of catching a chicken
thief by means of camera was recent
~ performed by Ralph B. Hyam, an
electrical engineer, who resides in West
Philadelphia. Finding that his henroost
was persistently raided, Hyam set up u
snapshot camera in such way that it
was focused directly on the entrance of
the chicken house. Near by on a saucer
was placed n charge of fashlight powder.
an ingenious arrangement of wires was
then run from a battery to the camera
and flash powder and thence to the door,
which when opened would work the cam
era and ignite the powder simultaneously.
It took Hyam two days to finish the job.
One morning last week Hyam found that
the coup had been broken open, although
the thief had evidently been scared off
by the flash of powder. Anxious to see
how the scheme had worked he at once
developed the plate and nearly tainted
when the face Of church sexton ap-
peared. That individual has confessed
to all the robberies and has promised to
make restitution to avoid arrest.-New

A young woman who lives IN a New
England name OF Maria Silbee was
ence with butterA es She happened
to be in the garden on warm day In
the fall. and noticed a brown butterfly
fiuttering about, somewhat languidly
among the few remaining flowers.
She caught it without much trouble
and carried it to her room, where the
windows were screened. and let il
loose. The little insect accepted the
situation, and conducted herself as II
quite at home. The substantial New
England name of Maria Silsbee was
bestowed upon it-though not eminent
ly appropriate. Maria's food and drink
was placed on the window sill. and con
sisted of u Imp Of sugar moistened by
a drop of water, and she partook OF
this by unfur.ing her long spiral trunk,
which resembled the hairspring of n
watch, and inserted the end. in the
sugar.
Maria was not fated to live in soli-
tude. One day there appeared In the
room another butterfly OF similar APP
pearance. but more sprightly in be
havior. No one could account for its
being there. unless the mnid had left
the screen up for few moments while
making up the room. The stranger was
named Jonathan Matthews. He was
far more veuturesome thnn Maria. ard
of not so docile n temperament. But
he was never seen to eat. Possibly 81
false feeling OF pride or difIidence re-
strained him from doing so In anyone's
presence.
The fame Of this young woman's two
companions spread abroad, and visitors
TO her room were frequent. This did
not seem 10 ruffle the equanimiiy Of
either. At last. Maria. indifferent TO
the joys Of worldly existence. settled
down in comfortable corner. and re-
mained there. to NIL appearances a
corpse. She had decided to hibernate
and hibernate she did for several
months. Jonathan, on the contrary.
was very active. Thus they remained
for most OF the winter.
One day Mnria awoke, but, in the
words Of Hamlet--"to die--to sleep---to
stay"
When the days became warmer and
the spring flowers appeared. In evil
