Frank W. Pierson is having his

Street Commissioner for two years
at salary of $1,000 per annum. He
had been bookkeeper of the Depart

Leslie V. Christy has been pro-

5000 a year; he now gets a raise Of
$500 a year.
The Plumbing Inspector, Edward

has held this position for several
years. There are several individ-
uals after this position and we see
no reason why he should be retain-

The following folklore is from Liphook,
Hants. A child born in cnul will al
ways be a wanderer so long as the oaul Is
kept and, moreover, being unable to sink
in water, cannot be drowned. An old
woman told my niece lately of her brother
who was 50 born, and SO potent was the
influence of the caul that when his mother
triet; to bathe him he sat on the surface OF
the water and II forced down came up
again like cork There seems no doubt
that this was fully beloved and related In
all seriousness The mother had kept the
caul stretched Oh sheet of note paper,
and whenever her son was in danger it be-
came wet and soft, but 1t remained dry
and like dried bladder so long as he was
safe. 1t got destroyed somehow, and soon
after the brother, sailor, was shipwrecked
and drowned

Mastering a Savage Dog.

Preaching stories naturally predominant
In the Rev. DR.. Newman Halls "Autobi-
ography," but here is one of secular cut
which is we'll worth quotation.
One day during Mr.. Halls pastorato of
church in Yorkshire he was chatting
with farmer about the best method of
self defense when attacked by a savage dog.
"Tako off your hat and hold it in front
of you," advised the farmer. 1.-The dog
will at once bite the rim. Then kick vio-
lcntly under your hat, and, the distance
being exactly that of your leg, the toe Of
your boot will strike the lower jaw of the
dog, who will at once go off in great pain.
The very next day Mr.. Hall was cross
ing field, when fierce dog ran at him.
There was no refuge near. He had no
stick. He remembered his lesson. In an
instant the dog rushed bowling round the
field, and the grand old dissenter, with q
very slight wound in his hat, went his

WILD ANIMALS.
they DO Not Fear Man Until They
Learn His Power.

Learn khhb I'VWGEs
There is an old story that any man can
COW q wild animal by merely gazing into
its eyes.
This theory Of the power Of the human
eye is all well enough SO long as 1t Is not
tried OH an animal big and fierce enough
to kill the experimehter. All accounts
agree that, except where they hive been
hunted, wild animals do not fear man
at all.
A British resident in Guiana once gave
Cornish gold seeker a lift up the river in
his steam launch. As the launch was
small the nl6ner slung his hammock on
shore each night. One morning he COM
planned Of the noise the frogs had made.
Some Indians of the crew laughed at
this and said, "Oh, tiger sleep with old
man last night!' What the miner had
heard was the purring or snoring under
his hammock Of puma, whose tracks and
the outline Of Its sleeping body were yet
visible.
Upon Long island, except during tho
hunting days, the deer enter farmers
barnyards freely and show no fear Of man.
In tho Yellowstone park, where animals
are protected from hunters, they are very
chummy. Tho elk and blaoktail come
to the keepers houses to be fed. Even
brown bears hang around and forage
among the scraps thrown out by tho hotel
keepers.
Dangerous animals have the same bold
ness where gunpowder is unknown. When
Berends crew were on their first voyage
a polar bear came among the sleeping crew
and bit sailors head off. Why should
he fear the puny little creatures'
Beyond tho Zambezi and Shire rivers,
where white men and guns arc few, lions
and leopards will do what they will do al-
most nowhere else-kill men when hun
CRY and when not cornered.
Where animals are fully acquainted with
firearms neither lion, tiger, bear, jaguar
nor any other animal will attack man ex-
cept when cornered, it is true. But ami
mails in wild life have 10 such fear Of the
weak little biped that can neither run,
climb nor fight as we'll as they.-New

In deadlock which has held up the Levy

/ There was a meeting Of the court this
morniug for the purpose Of finally pass

ono that gave the Company the right 10

vote, the deadlock followed.
The courb first considered the original
resolution of the Company and upon mo-
! tion on Mr.. SCOTS action it was Indefinite

II Every member Of the court voted
against the measure.
/ Mr.. White then offered tho following
resolutions.
I Resolved that the New Castle and Della
ware City hallway Company DO granted
the right to cross the causway below
New Castle on the river side but not tho
bridge OH said causway and providing
they put a fat rail on said causway, and

providing they put fiat rail on said cause

! Of this privilege"

! adoption of the resolution, while Messrs
4 Scott and Gallagher voted against it. Mr..
Msaloy refused to vote either way, never
theless Mr.. Scott declared the resolution
lost.
RMessrs. Scott and Gallagher in defense

Rodney which they believed right, They
were not deslrous o. seeing the County
put to great expense in defendinga law
suit which Mr.. Eiles declared would re-
splt IN the event Of the court granting the
privilege.
p The clause In the White resolution ex-
empting the county from any liability for
/ damages growing out of tho construction
Of tho road was worthless, said Mr. Gala
cher. He hold that the court had not the
right to grant such u privilege and II 1t ex.
oeeded its authority by doing so, they
most certainly would BIO held accountable
for all damage resulting.
In defense of his resolution Mr.. White
said hs considered that tho court had the
right to grant the company the use of the
four miles Of caussway between tho towns.
Nj. Lynn was of the same opinion. Mr..
Aealey said that while he was favorable to
the company he did not care to vote either
way on the resolution. There was no fur
ther discussion. whereupon Mr. Scott de-
fclared the resolution loss. This action
caused Mr.. White to question MIR. Scotts
authority to do 50 when the vote was tie,
bu. the ruling stood. The court after.
