weeks the Sunday morning services will
be omitted. The Sunday school and even

when both churches were closed for the
morning service.

Probably Not the Body of Mis-. Ts.hnn.

Late in the day Wednesday, when the
news OF the finding Of the body of the
woman at the Westmoreland ferry reach
ed here, it was thought perhaps it was
that of Miss Kate Teehan Of this place. A
sister drove TO Westmoreland that evening
and examined the clothing, receiving 80
good a description of the body that she
fully decided it was not that Of Kate Few
outside her immediate relatives knew of
her disappearance last October, but it is
ascertained that at that time, while stop
ping with her sister, she went out one af
ternoon saying she would be back to tea,
and since that time no definite trace has
Jeen found of her Once before she went
away in a similar way and was gone few
weeks only, and it has been thought she
would return again. She was about 80 years
old and in some ways the description Tailed
with the body found, but very definite lack
of correspondence in other ways decided
her sister negatively. She was the daugh-
ter of Thomas TeehAn, who died last year
at the soldiers home. Her mother died a
few months later. She has three sisters
living here, Mrs. Dennis brisbane, Mrs
Driscoll and Mrs. Rice. Kate worked all
last summer for Carroll A. Moore's family,
being with them at.Sunapee. In the fall,
soon after their return, she left them and
went to live with Mrs. Driscoll on George
street, and had been with this sister a week
or so when she thus suddenly disappeared.

about o'clock in which John Calvey, 10,
lost his life. In company with other child

The Request to Kurn HsttIn Homes.

The Request 60 Hurn HattIn Homes.
A large portion of our people are nat
urally interested in the permanent well
fare of the Kurn Hattin homes for boys at
Westminster and Saxtons River, and the
knowledge that these institutions have Just
received their first permanent endowment
of $4,000 by the will of the widow of the
late Geo w. Holbrook of Keene, is re-
ceived with pleasure. 1t means many
"more to follow" no doubt, and it is
most worthy cause. At the boys home 80
are now in the family, besides a number
under the care Of the institution who are
in good homes in the vicinity. At the Sax
tons River home there are 12 boys, and at
the girls home in Westminster are Is girls,
all cared for by the same able board of
management. 1t has been decided to es-
tablish department of Sloyd training at
the Westminster home, the farm house
across the road TO be devoted to this
branch, and a competent instructor is to be
secured. A number of applicants for the
position have already been there and
looked the ground over. The success of
these institutions is one of which New Eng
land, which is its field may Justly be
proud. Each year places it upon such ad-
vanced footing as IN commend it to the at
tention of those of the wealthy classes who
are looking about for a judicious benevo-
lence, or an opportunity for requests by
WILL which will do the greatest good in a
better citizenship of the world at large.

tive Physical and Mental Examination
at Rutland Tuesday.
A meeting of the commission appointed
by United States Senator Redfield Proctor
to select young Vermonters for appoint
ment as cadets at West Point and as alter
mates was held in Rutland Tuesday, Sena-
tor Proctor being present. The commits
sion was constituted as follows: j.
Southwick of Burlington, chairman; Prof.
John l.. Alger, superintendent of schools
in Bennington and county examiner; DIR.
Charles S. Caverly of Rutland, president
of the State Board of Health; Captain and
Surgeon William w. Quinton, U. S. A, of
Fort Ethan Allen, and Hon. f. G. Pratt
ridge of Proctor.
Each state is entitled to two cadets at
large in addition to one from each con-
gressional district, and these are appointed
by the secretary of war at the request of
the United States senators. Senator Jona-
than Ross has selected Merrill f. Wheeler
OF Proctorsville as cadet at large, the latter
having passed as alternate last year the
necessary examinations at West Point.
and Senator Ross requested the commits
sion to appoint an alternate for Mr..
Wheeler.
Nineteen young men ranging from II to
20, the age limit for appointees, presented
themselves for the competitive mental and
physical examination, which was conduct
ed at the court house and at the office of
DR.. Caverly. OF the 10 candidates 10
were rejected on account of physical de-
fects. Francis B. Upham of Bellows Falls,
a cadet at Norwich University showed the
most proficiency in examination, and was
selected for appointment as cadet at large
by Senator Proctor, and Bertrand D.
Barker of Poultney was selected as his alt
ternate. Paul R. Manchester of Pawle-
was recommended for appointment as al
ternate by Senator Ross.
Young Upham's success was a source of
qualification to his many friends in this
village. He was one of the most popular
boys of the Bellows Falls High school, from
which ne graduated last year. He has
been cadet in Norwich university the
past year. In addition to being a fine
student he is great lover of athletics.
DE was large point winner when the
Bellows Falls High school won the cup of
the Connecticut River Interscholastic asso
citation in 800, and at the field day at last
commencement at Norwich university he
led III six events.

Hose Companies May Me.tAeain.

The North Wslpole hose company feel
aggrieved at the result of the hose races
held on the Fourth, aud that unfair start
ing was responsible for the result. They
are confident that they can beat the Bridg-
man hose company in straight race, and
have issued to them challenge to run
over the same course with the same team,
any day they may name, and it is proba-
BILE it will be accepted. They offer in addition
to pay 500 if the Bridgman company can
make the same time given to them again,
with the same men and same rules, and
also they wager the 500 that they can
beat the Bridgman on the same course and
with identicslly the same teams. The
matter is causing some interest and as the
Bridgman men are not fellows who submit
TO such insinuations without trying their
best to hold honors, it is probable we shall
have some fun in the near future.

WANTED TO KICK A MAJOR.
Winston Church1ll's Little Joke or
Pompous, self-Opinionated
Omcer.

Among the assembled officers at a
recent supper in South Africa was q
very pompous, self-opinionated ma jor,
whose rank commanded for him re-
spectful hearing, but whose habit Of in
structing his brethren in matters mill
tary, both in and out of season, made
him rather unpopular. Winston
Churchill and the ma jor sat side by side
at the table, and the martial poten-
tate voiced his opinions in the usual
manner. Churchill bore the infict ton
dumbly for a season; then, taking adj
vantage of a pause, when the major
wanted to take breath, he said, very
complacently and irrelevantly: Do
you know, major, I met man this
morning who would gladly forfeit s so
for the plea sure Of kicking YOU"
Kicking me-, sdr!' roared the angry
major; kicking me! ] must ask you
to mention his name iimmed iaIely!''
sBut the fact is, major, i am not sure
that I ought to tell YOU replied
Churchill, with well assumed caution.
But Insist on knowing his name at

GREEKS WERE AUTHORS.
They Are Said to Have Been the First
to Employ Punctuation Marks
In Writing. 4

Z The art of punctuation was developed
gradually from very ancient times.
Creek scrihes before the Christian era
used wedre-shaped sign (V) to mark
. new paragr~ph. Later a paus in the
sense was indl-~ted by a blank space,
q point, and sometimes by a slight OBJ
.ique stroke or an apostrophe. In Latin
manuscripts the full points appear
first, and are vartora]y placed on a
level with the top, middle or bottom Of
the letters Tbs inveatlnn Of the mod
ern system of purctuAtsnn mas been at

marian of Alexandria. Jsrome used
sdgns (comm4ta and cola in his trans.
lation OF the Scriptures, while In early
Enghah and I1ah MANUSCRIPTS h e com
ma is used, and the fin al stop is marked
by one and sometimes two or more full
points. With the advent of printing.
punctuation was greatly improved and
systems tacally adopted about the close
of the fifteenth century, mainly owing
to the Vene tan printer, Manutius. It
is said that all the stops we now use APP

BETTER THAN FLY PAPER.
a Mouse in Philadelphia which
Catches the Pests and
- HATS Them.

A Tiny mouse that seems to have its
own way in all it cares to do has taken
up quarters in bulk window on Chest
nut street, Philadelphia. The window
contains a fine display of travelling
bags and dressing cases. and unoer
ordinary circumstances the presence
OF the little inrruder would not be
tolerated q minute. But this is not
an ordinary mouse. Instead Of cre-
atimg havoc and damage by gnawing
holes in the valua bile hags and grips
this particular mouse does a valuable
service to the firm by spending its time
In catching the flies that are un,ise
enou~h to come within re.ch. Every
evestg after the store ha. been closed
an the clerks have gone home crowd
gathers on tho pavement outside and
watches the httle fellow capture the
nnwary flies. 1t is q wonderful per-
Torrance, and go, quick OF movement
and keen of eye IS the mouse that a
fly rarely escapes that it springs for.
The mouse's mode is sirstple and eft
fectual. From crouchsng attitude
it waits until fly comes close enough,
then it straightens upon it's hind legs,
the two front paws, like tiny hands,
are thrust upward, and the unwary fly
is clutched and brought down. After
that the mouse eats the fly and then
gets ready to catch another.

Z NEW MOTOR.



From Germany comes the design OfA5
remarkable mot or that turns heat en-
ergy directly into motion through the.
int'e rmedi diary action Of electricity The.
machine is called q thermo-e electric mo-
tor, and works on the familiar principle
Of the electric motor somewhat mod
ifet to meet the. peculiar exigencies Of
the case. In action it is essen ~ an
electric motor, but one driving its cleo
trical energy from heat applied to it
through thermo- electric couples. IA
St,h ernlo o lectric couple is composed of
two dissi ar meta Is, such as iron and
copper. Any complete circuit made Of
two metals must necessarily have tive
functions of the two in it. a
If one Of these functions is heated
more than the other an electric current
will flow in the circuit, its amount and
direction depending on the nature Of
the two metals, the difference in tenn
perature between the two functions
and the resistance it encounters in its
path. On the motor machine the
couples are made of iron and nickel,
firmly brazed toget her. They are ar
ranged like the windings Of the ordi-5
4 nary electric motor, with one set sof
functions brought conveniently. to the
surface, where gas jets play upon them.
The other set are cooled by q rapid CIR
culation of air a bout them. engendered
by the rotation Of the machine. While
the e. motor is of>no practical value. it is
an exceedingly interesting exemplif-
cation of the ease with which energy
may be tran formed and retran sformed
