The night before graduation at
Thornton Academy, Saco, a year ago
the building was entered and one of
the tiles in front of the fireplace was
removed In its place was put sim
liar tile marked with the symbols
go The tile has remained in p0-
stion during the past year until re-
Gently when it was removed by order
Of the trustees. The reason given for
its removal is that members of the
class graduating wish to put in
another tile inscribed with the figures
1900" the trustees coming to the con
clusion that it was hardly advisable Il
allow every class to remove tile from
the fireplace. since it would not BE-
many years before it would present q
rather inIrtistic appearance.

SparrOyvs XIII a Cat.
From the Providence Journal.

From the Providence Journal
The ivy which climbs the north wall of
the United Congregational Church in New
port. X L., furnishes a retreat for thou
sands of sparrows. a cat had noticed the
birds, and no doubt conceived the not unrea-
sonable idea that here she might possibly
find a nest with toothsome young bird in
II. so pussy climbed the ivy and reached
point where she had seen one of the birds
disappear amid the thick leaves. Stretch
ing out its paws where II supposed a nest
would be loud chattering ensued and q
myriad or sparrows darted out and attacked
the cat with fury.
1t was indeed vicious onslaught. They
pecked and chartered and fiuttered at a
great rate and the cat was bewildered To
free itself from the assault the cat spit and
fought and howled, but II was Of no use,
the birds kept at 1t until their enemy fell
TO the ground. This did not stop the combat
of the birds. They kept pecking away until
they were tired. The cat did not move and
occasionally a sparrow would drop to the
ground safe distance from its enemy, as
II to see IL II was dead Some little time
afterward a witness Of this strange struggle
went to the spot and found that the cat
was dead. Its eyes had been literally dug
out and Its head was a mass of bleeding
wounds.

OILERS HAVE RISKY WORK.

Need of fabrication Keeps an Army
of Men Employed.
From the Chicago Chronicle
The job of the oiler Is by no means en-
viable these midsummer days In Chicago
when the mercury refuses to lie down even
in the night time. In the overheated rooms
where engines and machinery are pounding
away the engineer and the fireman are the
only persons who have to stand any more
heat than the oiler. In big establishments
there are such vast numbers OF wheels,
shafts, pistons and other moving points Of
contact which need frequent fabrication
that one man Is kept constantly employed
pouring oil into the places needed In some
Of the extremely large manufacturing
plants where there are acres Of machinery
the services Of more than one man are re-
quired to perform this task.
The oiler not only has job that Is un-
pleasant In the summer, but one that Is
also more or less disaxreeable and danger
less movement and the man may come In
contact with a piece Of swiftly revolving
machinery that will hurl Nm to death In
second. Every minute OF his time Is spent
with death-dealing vigor AS Is often the
case. time and long experience lead to care
lessness and many oilers while engaged In
work have been caught in cog wheel or
killed. fatally injured or MANNED for life.
The oiler becomes SO expert In his work
that by touching point OF contact he can
tell from the degree Of heat whether or not
the place needs Intoxicating. In some in
stances a point becomes so hot that 1t is
necessary to stop the machinery and let
the heated spot regain its normal tempera-
ture. II a place is iHot too badly heated
the oiler can reduce the temperature by the
use of tallow. Irtri s
Sometimes the unusual heat is caused by
the presence of some foreign substance or a
bit of worn-ofr metal in the journal. This
must first be gotten out before the tallow is
applied. Down the oil hole leading to the
journal the oiler places a scraper. and as
the axle revolves all of the foreign matter
Is scraped or against this instrument.
Then the tallow is pressed in
After the tallow the OIL and the metal
VIII shortly resume Its natural tempera-
ture. Too great heat arising from insult
ficient oil or from the presence Of some for
eign body in the journals is the only serious
difficulty for which the .oiier has to watch.
The offer must have olfaetory nerves to
which the odor of oil Is not distasteful or
else he must train them, to that state of in
difference. for from morning until night
his nostrils will have to encounter the un-
pleasant smell. Constantly the oil Is on his
hands. On his overalls and can that Is
continually In his hands u always giving
