THE SMALLEST VILLAGE.
Long Island Town Has a Populate
&c Ten

Long Island Town Has a Population
of Ten.
Fire Place, the tiniest village in the
world, has a population of ten. Every
man in the place is an office holder.
The Tom Thumb among villages is
located on the extreme end of Long
Island It contains but two families,
named Miller and Parsons, who farm
and fish, as their fathers did before
them.
Small as Fire Place may be. it is
very notable from historic point of
view. The first house was built in
1899, and the two old homesteads in
which the Parsons and Miller fami-
lies are living were built twenty-five
years before the Declaration of indie
pendence was written.
Both houses are filed with memen-
tos of bygOne- days There are quill
written parchments recording contracts
made with the Indians. In each home
/ al old grandfather's clock ticks Oft the
! seconds.
/ When the country nearby was first
inhabited it was the custom of farm
! ers returning by boat from New York
/ to light a signal fire on the extreme
/ point Of Long island.
| Thus the spot became known as Fire
J Place and the name was officially IN
/ scribed on the records of Suffolk county
( and on the county map
! 1t has its board of trustees, composed
of three memb ers-twO MilleTs and one
Parsons. Whatever other government
it needs it gets from the town OF
SOuthold.
The ten citizens Of this village fur
iuish an excellent example of those 81
more pretentious communities by the
J pleasant and peaceful manner in Whlcf
they conduct their affairs, both pubic
and private Although the Miller par
ty is now in majority of one Pollu
cally. the Parsons party mas hopes, d

The age of London and the immutable
system OF affairs is illustrated by the
fact that 999-y year lease expired here the
other day and the property was taken
possession of by the original lessor, the
chapter of Westminster parish. The les
see was the town, and the property has
been in its possession contiI& lily since
the original lease was made. do not
think such a thing could occur in any
other city. but there are said TO be several
similar leases about to expire. which
were MAJ at very near the same time.
Another interesting fact is that a bank
note Cor S5 issued in 1916 was presented

A Restful Remedy.

Rev. DR.. Hills, pastor Of Plymouth
church, Brooklyn. is evidently not a
success in maintaining the congrega-
ton that Henry Ward Beecher so
long ministered to. II he were he
would not be going around the coun-
try lecturing on the decadence Of re-
ligion as reflected in the absenteeism
from church services. One of the rea-
sons he gives for non-attendance at
church on the part of the people Is
that tired feeling" The American
young man, after a hard weeks work,
is too weary to arise on Sunday morn
ing and sleeps until noon. That keeps
him from church. To overcome this
Mr.. Hills would have half holiday
on Saturday SO that the young man
could go to bed early in the evening
and get sufficient rest to be up Sunday
in time for religious services.

Venezuela is country where nature
makes millionaires; and some OF the
best of the money is now coming to
citizens of this country who have been
down there and used their eyes to
good advantage. The greatest COM
pany of Venezuela has capital OF
100000, 900, and its headquarters are in
Minnesota. There are gold mines
which have produced 35,00O.000 and
paid $23 900 to their shareholders.
The richness Of its forests is beyond
calculation, and they will last for CEN
turtles. 1t has gold, silver. precious
stones and a hundred things which
mean wealth and which the world
wants; and as matter Of fact its re-
sources have scarcely been touched, so
great are they.

Mucous Lining and Music.

It's mean to tell this joke, but it is
too good to keep. A popular society
matron has a daughter who has beau
tiul voice and is very pretty girl.
She has never taken singing lessons,
and some of the singers have been
consulted by her as regards their
terms. One of these instructors has
talked a lot to the mother about CIV
ing her girl lessons. and assured her
that he was the fellow to develop that
voice until it would be a peach"
He argued the matter over and over
again every time he saw the lady and
finally she said: Il wish my daughter
to learn to sing, Professor High Notes,
but she is not well. She is suffering
constantly from sort of indiges-
ton, and 1 don't think she feels we'll
enough to take the lessons"
Pooh, pooh, my dear madam" re-
piled the professor. Nonsense! With
my teaching and ten cents worth of
cream of tartar she will be cured at
eAce." -...
And yet that obstinate mamma has
not struck the trade. Maybe the
daughter has objected to the ten
cents worth of cream of tartar
