"a q whole, but there shall be great and
tremendous and tender things in it. :"
Il is interesting to trace through these
letters the gradual evolution Of oharao-
tiers and scenes that have charmed mil
lions of people since. In one Of them he
says: "Gerard is just now getting to
France after many adventures in Ger.

-Denys, Burgundian soldier, cross

Never was hope better founded. Since
those words were written many and

sayings and doings Of this adventurer,
with his everlasting Courage, lie diable

told, was woman. "When he met a

How many have ever noticed the
skillful way in which many insects dis
guise themselves when in danger from
some larger animal or bird? Probably
you have all observed that the caterpil-
lar "plays dead" when he is disturbed,
and that many insects choose for their
homes some tree or shrub whose bark or
foliage matches themselves in color.
There is certain variety of moth,
quite common around elms, which fixes
its wings SO that they closely resemble
spots or ichens on the bark OF the tree
and can only be detected by trained
eye. Another moth, whose principal
colors are pink and yellow, arranges
itself ON the blossom of a primrose SO
as to wholly escape notice. In the East
Indian islands there, is spider which
reposes on the upper side OF a large leaf
in such shape that it perfectly resenl-
bles decayed matter.
A hunter in tropical regions tells OF
seeing cricket pursued ound the
trunk of tree by a lizard. Suddenly
the insect settled itself in small de-
preston in the bark, spread out its
wings slightly and fattened itself sc
that the lizard actually orawlea over il
and went away without ever knowing
what had become of it.-Lewiston Jour.

DR.. johnson in his Journal mentions
the interesting fact that he had on y
certain day had "palfrey for dinner"
Now these three words have caused not
a little trouble to the critics, and for
this reason, that they know not what
palfrey really lie. 1t has been suggested
that palfrey is clerical error made by
the doctor himself for pastry, but the
doctor wrote 80 legibly, and there 10 SO
much difference between the words pal.
frey and pastry that this position 10 not
at all tenable.
Palfrey Is defined in Johnson's cele-
hsAted dictionary as "a small horse fit
for ladies, !" and some have thought that
the doctor (whose feats "a o trencher-
man were notorious) may have brokesa
o record on the day In question and dis
posed of a small horse All these aud
other cOnjectures are wrong, and we
will proceed to give the correct explana-
tion.
The word paifrey (sometimes pamfrey
by the interchange Of and mn Ia still ip
pse among the Iustics Of Scotland and
the north of Ireland, and means young
cabbages when they first come TO table
In the spring. Spoh cabbages have not
begun to "close'' or become solid In the
center. They are generally spoken of al
"early pamfrey" and ere considered A
luxury. DR.. johnson probably picked nj
the word from his friend Boswell o.
from some other Scotch acquaintance. -

"Once, when Long John Wentworth
was mayor Of Chicago. says The Jour-
nal of that city, ga hot campaign was
in progress. The rough element was
showing signs of turbulence, and Long
john knew that the police force was
totally unable to cope with it if there
should be riot. There wasn't much of
any police force in those days. The few
officers that there were didn't have any
uniform outside of plug hat. On the
front of this was semicircle of tin,
with the man q number on it.
"There was no money to pay for ad-
litional officers, SO Long John be-
thought himself of bright scheme. He
had figure 90 added to the number on
every one of those hats. On election
day the different members of the force
were stationed conspicuously where the
trouble was most likely to break out
The roughs saw the numbers, $3.50, ;
1890, $780, ETC.. where they had be-

American Words.

Many English words are taken direct
~ from the Spanish. When You speak
of Piccadilly collar, you are not using
slang The "piccadallo" is a collar
which at one time was worn by all men
of position in Spain.
A few years since many American
cities boasted of companies Of volunteer
soldiers called grenadiers.
The first grenadiers were In Grenada.
Our marines, of whom we are specially
proud just now, got their name by clip
ping the last syllable off "mariperos, y
which is the equivalent Spanish word.
Rye bread without caraway seeds
would not be rye bread tall. Caraway
is a purely Spanish word, derived from
"alcara hueya.'
The hammock on your verahda got
its name from the Spanish ''hamaca, -
although that is not purely Spanish
word. Columbus got it from the In
dams 400 years ago. ..
There are many other examples.

day evening at his home in Middletown.
He had been in feeble health for some
years, and grip, though in a mild form,
was more than he could withstand. John
Williams was born in Deerfield, Mass.
Aug 80, 1917 He was educated at the
academies at Deerfield and Mortified,
and at the age of fourteen entered Har-
ward college. He was brought up Uni
tartan, but at the age of fifteen became an
Episcopalian, entering Trinity college,
Hartford, in the junior year, where he
graduated in 1885. After pursuing his
theological studies in New York and Mid
dletown he was ordained deacon when
81. At "a, having returned from study
abroad, he was received into the priest
hood. His only parish was at Schenecta-
dy, n. Y; from which he was called to
| become president of Trinity college. In
| 1851 he became associate bishop OF Con.
necticut, and fourteen years later bishop
of the entire diocese. He was dearly be.

death removes great power for good

mills at Wales, and later formed part
nership with Julius Converse at the Or
cuttville mill. In 1878 he sold this mill
to bis brother. J. J. Ellis, and devoted
his attention to the South Monsoon mill,
which he had built in 1879. This prop
erty he improved gradually and built
fine residence near, which he has since
occupied. Mr.. Ellis met with many
losses by fire and flood, but by persever-
ance and hard work was rewarded with
success. There are many testimonials
to his generosity in and about Monson,
among which is the Universalist church
