Town Meeting quiet and Pesceful.

An hour of town meeting is the record
for Rockingham this year. The severe
storm made the attendance small, and
quiet and peace prevailed. Aside from the
chtosing of town officers, 500 was appro.
priated for Memorial day; 5000 for the
town library and 5000 for the cemeteries.
1t was voted to refer the matter of the
suit of the town against L. D. Lockwood,
for trespass on the Oak Hill cemetery
grounds, to the selectmen. A tax of 80
cents was voted, and the treasurer was
authorized to collect the town taxes, On
the motion of Tina Allbee it was voted to
give the Methodist conference the second
week in April the use of the opera house,
without charge, for such meetings as they
wish to hold there. 1t was voted to free
the senior class of the High school from
their obligation to the town, for the rent of
the opera house, when they gave the play
Bobby Shafto, which obligation was over
$50.

SOME FIGURES ON rnEIcrMrn
He Handles Immense Amount of
 CongeaIed Water Daily

From the Philadelphia Record: How'd you like to be the iceman?~ Snyder, the calculating barber, was ar- tiscally executing a quickstep on the razor-strop when the above little ditty foated in from the busy thorough fare, causing a smile of contempt to fit across his features. That simply makes me weary" he remarked, as with flourish he daubed the patrons face. You hear that latest acquisi- ton in the way of slang phrases re- peated by men of every station, just as if the iceman's lot was an earthly paradise. AS matter of fact, the tn- dividual who embaTks on career which involves the marketing of con" gealed moisture doesn't have to run around searching for his troubles. How many people do you suppose ever think of the amount of money that drips right out of the ieemans hands when the sun beams down on his heavily loaded wagon? Don't amount to much, eh? Well, you'll change your opin- lon when I bring up a few figures for 5OQl COn5ltC4 dl4Oi1. hOldl IillS O0S VI AsN ton of ice, I estimate that melting alone causes a dead loss of about 100 pounds to the dealer. That doesn't seem much, but when you calculate that about 100 wagons a day right here in town lose that amount the fig ures are amazing. One hundred thou- sand pounds at, say 10 cents Der =hun- dred. runs up the tidy little sum of S100. Three hundred and sixty-ffYe times $100 gives Us the annual loss locally of $36, 800. Takes a little nerve, doesn't it, to be an iceman? Then if during the summer these drippings could be collected I figure that they'd supply all the hospitals in town with ice water baths for sunstroke patients. Frozen into solid lump, the entire years drippings would make a cube as big as a ten-story office building Then, again. the waste when the cakes are cut is enormous, to say nothing of what vanishes into the air when the ice is Whisked clean with brush broom. But, without going into fur ther details, I think you'll agree that the man who peddles ice has enough trouble to worry him into an early grave. Tonic?"

Talk About Bugs

It seems to be an extraordinary summer for bugs. Chicago has mos quito pest, Boston has caterpillarS Philadelphia has a strangling bug cap able of choking a mouse to death. The kissing bug, oi course, needs hardly to be referred to. Strange stories are coming in concerning the exploits Of the bugs, A Coney island wheelman was recently knocked spinning from his bicycle by blow from bug. The other day negro was found in ditch in a New York town, where he had been disabled and thrown by some rowing bug that had struck him in the ar.=The one thing, and the only thing that makes one suspicious of the bug stories Of the season is the entire absence of the sea serpent from the prominent shore resorts.

Lunacy Increasing in England.

Dunacy shows an alarming growth in England. Statistics just published give 105,Q86 as the total of certified lunatics, an increase of 3,114 over the preceding year. This is the greatest annual ln- crease recorded by over 1000. The rate of recovery also shows backward movement, from 38.81 per cent to 36.S7. Agricultural laborers provide the 1arg- est proportion of lunatics, attributa ble to low standard of life and the use of strong, cheap Indian teas. Clerks furnish the next greatest proportion of lunatics. Here also hard, wearing. un- derpaid work and insufficient food Is the leading cause. It is contended that the increase in lunacy is more appar- ent than real, and is due chiefly to ths law regulating the notification of lu- natics, but experts agree that the stress Of modern life is the pTme factor in promoting l1naey.

kEYLEos LOCK.
Is the Latest Innovation Proposed 9os
 PostoHice Boxes.

Washington Times: There is more than $400.00O of the peoples money locked up iD postoffice keys, each and every keyhotder being required to put np with the postmaster deposit for his key. the amount deposited being re- turned when the box is given up and rent paid. Postmasters are required to keep a strict account Of the key de- posit fund, while the postoffiee depart ment here has regular division set apart for keeping this account. As 8 postal official puts it, there is a great deal of trouble and no money in the transactions, and the final outcome of the trial of the keyless locks which are to be tried in the principal offices of the country is eagerly looked for Tha department has long wanted key less lock, but none of the lock inven- dons until the present was regarded as Tn any way calculated to prove ae- eeptable. Contracts have been made for supply Of the new locks, which will first be tried in New York, Bos- ton, Philadelphia, Chicago and St Louis, as the largest and most impor- tant offiees,and then in St. Paul, Minn.; Cleveland, Ohio; Hartford, Conn; Madison, Wis, and Rockford, III. These offices will be fitted out as soon as the factory can complete the mak- ing of the boxes. If they prove in every way satisfactory to the department and to the patrons they will be placed in offices throughout the country, but not to the entire exclusion of the lock boxes. 1t is the belief of the postoff1ce department that the keyless box will pyove a blessing.

Make an In,2srestfns Find,

Some chalk diggers have made an interesting find of a skeleton at Swans combe, Kent, England It was that of a short, very thick-set man, and it Is thought he was probably Roman. A careful search was made for coins or weapons, or anything that could give 8 clue to the period or nationality of the skeleton. but nothing was fount except some fints, rudely shaped with some kind of splitting or chipping im- plement. The skeleton must have been where it was found for many hundreds Of years. It was in the heart of a chalk hill which had never been exca- Yated before

RA,slN MAKING IN CALIFORNIA
Process of Getting the Fruit in shape
 for Shipment.

The gang moves in a bunch, clip ping off the translucent clusters of muscatels, arranging them uton the trays to shrink and shriyel under the rays of the sun into the concentrated dciicacy we know. Behind them the i.Las : tgays lie, a basking array of shlls.f.t1ing fruit, and some one inter ssted showing the clusters together, that ne tray shall be honestly filled. for the workers aro paid by the tray. After two weeks exposure in the dry heat the Il. ed trays are ready to be turned so that the grape may be cured evenly. This is accomplished by two men, one on either side, placing an empty tray over the full one, dexter ously reversing 1t, then, carrying the upper one with them, repeating the process on down the row. It is at this stage in the curing that the grape ia most delectable. The amber is chang ing through ruddy stages to amethyst. and the sun-warmed balls are drops Of honey-double distilled, so sweet they make you long with great thirst for the red water tank shimmering in the sunlight fc 'ty acres away; but you must eat and eat, and go on ea.ting even while your palate is cloying with the sweetness. In another week the dried grapes are ready for the sweat boxes. These wide, open boxes con- tain from 150 to 160 pounds, and as the raisins become sufficiently cured they are sorted from che others and placed therein, the large, perfect clusters and the inferior, broken pieces in separate boxes. They are usually carried to a sweating house. a closed structure, in which they soften and moisten evenly, the drying having made the stems ex- ceedingIy brittle; or simply stacked in one corner of the packing-house to await the grading and packing Land of Sunshine.

Ages et Rris.

It is only possible at present to co.'s lect data from the duration of lives of birds in captivity; evidence otherwise must be unreliable, and it is purely a matter of theory as to whether the natural possible life is greater than that under the unnatural conditions of captivity. There are records of a nightingale having lived twenty-five years, thrush seventeen, a blaekbird that was still alive at twenty and 3 half, goldfneh twentysthree, and skylarks of twenty-four and twenty. Ravens, owls and cockatoos are popu- iarly supposed to live to a very great age, and the following records appear to be authentic: Karen, fifty; gray parrot, fifty and forty; blue =macaw, sixty-four; eagle owls, ffty-three, and one still alive at sixty=eight.
