Remember the Calico Carnival at
the M. E. Church parlors Friday night,
April Z. An interesting entertainment
has been arranged which will please
everybody. A good supper will be
served. Admission l5 cents.
AN exchange in a town not far

certain resident, whose name he did
not give, had better stop kissing his
hired girl, or he might be found out.
Twenty-seyen men called on the editor
and Immediately stopped their paper

domestic affairs.

rejected. Which three got in and why
was the fourth rejected? ANS. The
lamb had four quarters, the duck had
bill. and the frog had a green-baclS,

Mary's Little Goat.
Little Mary has a goat
Its hair is long and white,
1t follows Mary everywhere,
And is cuss to fight.
Little Harry came to play
With Mary's hairy pet,
Harry pulled the goats long hair,
Then Harry had to get.
Then Mary tried to whip it
The goat did only frown,
Which scared her and she tried to run
Now Mary can't sit down.

One Hundred and Twelve Pages Now,

The Boston Sunday Journal is again
going to give its readers more pages
and additional attractive features. Be-
ginning with next Sundays issue the
total number of pages each Sunday
will be liz, by far the greatest number
ever given regularly by any Sunday
newspaper. A new distinctive fea-
ture is added in 16 page bound peri
odical, illustrated by the expensive
half-tone process. The people and
events Of the week will be presented
as wildly and accurately in this way
as could be done by the photographs
themselves. Special departments, each
conducted by an expert in that subject,
will add to its general attractiveness
The Boston Sunday Journal is espe-
cially strong, also, in its sporting de-
partment, where 9 ,ch branch OF sports
is handled by an authority in that line.
For instance, Waiter S. Barnes, Jr.,
the Journals sporting editor, writes on
base ball; Allen Lowe, the well-known
horse man, is horse editor; Edward G.
Jewell, known as yachting authority,
writes on yachting subjects; SD.
wards" a prominent golf player, has
golf matters in charge; 1. S. Clark,
secretary of the Interscholastic Asso
citation, writes on interschOlastic sports.
The 1l2.page Boston Sunday Journal
marks the height of newspaper enter
prise.

A 1IPSY BABY.

- make Awakened by Drunken Elephant
Attacks and Kills Him.
There is man in Brooklyn who
keeps boarding house. There is moth
ing very strange about that, because
there are lots of people in Brooklyn
who keep boarding houses; but there
are very few people in Brooklyn who
would sleep well nights If they opened
their house to the kind of boarders
this man takes in. 1t is a boarding
house for wild animals. Circus peo-
pie and theatrical troupes that have
snakes or animals that they are not
using for the time in their shows hire
him to take care of them and board
them for so much week.
About six months ago "A baby ele-
plant was brought over from Burmah
and made Il summer tour, extending ln-
to the late autumn, with a travelling
show. Then it was sent to the Brook
Ign boarding house to spend the win
ter. The elephant took II bad cold,
and the landlord dosed him with whs-
ky and quinine from demiiohn. The
elephant did not like the liquor at first
but he soon acquired the habit, and
the other night feeling thirsty. he
Knocked the head off the demiiohn.
and sucked out all there was left
There was not enough to make him
dead drunk. but just enough to make
him feel big. and want to break some
thing and have II great time. In his
hilarity he overturned a glass-covered
case in which twenty-foot python
was lying asleep. The big snake was
angry when he walked up. and with
vicious sparkle in his little eyes, he
went for that tiDSy elephant and coiled
himself around its body.
AS the coils grew tense about the
elephant it trumpeted in agony. and
struggled to shake the python off; but
the snake had neither mercy nor fear.
The boarding house keeper was
awakened by the noise and rushed in
to the room, club in hand. He saw the
peril Of the elephant, and when the
snake raised its head angrily at his
intrusion, he hit it savage blow. The
coils loosened and the python fell TO
the floor The elephant gasped and
fell likewise, its ribs had been crushed
in, and in half an hour it was dead.
The snake was put back into its box,
but an hour later it was dead also.
The empty demiiohn in the corner
told the cause of the tragedy.
Alas, how many tragedies come from
the demijohn! Boys and girls think
they can play with it and take II glass
of beer or wine now and then without
danger, but it soon gets to he master,
and their ruin follows.

The City Council.

A special meeting OF the city council was
held Wednesday evening for the purpose
Of hearing complaints, IL any, from the
property owners in the sixth ward in re-
gard to laying concrete walk on Berlin
street, and also in regard to the street line
as run.
Eight representative property owners
were present All were agreed that walk
was needed and that six-foot walk was
narrow enough Two OF the residents while
in favor Of the Improvement, felt they
could not afford it at this time. Mayor
Senter explained that the city furnishes the
curbing and filling but for the cost OF $120
per square yard for concrete walks and 81
per square yard for driveways the abuttor
pays onehalf he being assessed according
to his lineal feet frontage.
In the matter of the new street line,
Aaron Bancroft and T. Il. Gordon regret
ted that 1t cut into their land as ii did but
did not complain They asked that the
city would go as lightly as possible and
that it desired to do nothing it could
avoid which would in any way incon-
venience any OF the property owners in that
ward
1t is proposed to put in a sewer main on
Berlin street the outlet of which will be be-
low the dam in swift water. The main will
be about fifteen inches in diameter and the
connections four inches or larger. Connec-
tions will be made at the rate OF $40 per
| house and will be made compulsory as the
council wishes to restrict the emptying OF
| sewerage in the river above the dam as in
| the summer 1t becomes q menace to health
Some Of the residents OF ward six, who
| already have good sewer connections with
the river, made at first a mild protest tC
| this plan and called the councils attention
to the state of affairs in this connection
| along the north branch
| Mayor Seuter explained that the city al
an early day would be obliged to put in 8
| first class sewage system, but it could moi
be done at present so 1t was the intention Of
| the council to work to this end whenever
| new main were laid.
| The council voted to authorize the mayor
| and city treasurer to borrow $1,000 Il
needed before the next meeting.
The following bills were ordered paid:
| Vermont Watchmau Company, printing
| 50; M. W. Wheelock, work done in 1898,
S109; county Jail tax, 81 978 81.
| Licenses were granted to c. III. Shipman
to build house in rear OF the old Judge
Keith residence; A. A. Stratton & Co., t.

| to peddle fruit from basket on the street

The baleful operation of the Dreyfus
affair is due, unquestionably, to the
fact that it was conceived in malignity
and fraud. One lie has involved an
other, until a huge scaffolding of per-
juries and forgeries has been reared
upon the original crime. There is, as
we have said, but just one way for
France to rid herself of a frightful in
cubus, and that is by righting the
primal wrong. We believe that this
conviction is now shared by majority
of Frenchmen.-New York Sun.

Saving Barnyard Manure.

So important is barnyard manure
to successful farming that although
recently discussed in these columns
we turn to it again Ito present some
results which careful investiga tions
have recently brought out. 1t is a sub
stance exceedingly liable to chemical
changes, and these changes may occa-
sion very decided loss of one of it's
most valuable constituents. The fer
mentaition to which stable manure is
so prone quickly generates carbonate
of ammonia, an exceedingly volatile
substance and one which passes off
rapidly into the air if steps are not
taken to prevent it. Two things will
check fermentation and therefore the
formation of carbonate of ammonia.
One is to keep the manure very solid
and compact and also quite moist. An
other is to dry the manure promptly
and keep it dry. The first is pretty
we'll secured by allowing manure to
accumulate in stalls under the ami
mails; their tramping will make it
