MY last visit to Maine was So years
ago." said Senator Gibson to Port
land newspaper man after he had ex-
planned the objects Of his present visit.
Last Saturday I arrived in Brown
field. Very few of my old friends are
now living. I went to Fryeburg and
North Conway and also saw few
people whom l once knew. There Is a
marked change in these towns which
has been produced on account of the
tourist travel. What particularly at
tracted my notice was the rapid
growth of trees of all kinds and I have
been perhaps as much impressed with
that as anything that / have seen. The
pastures of my boyhOod are now COW
cred with thick forests. The lumber
business in Maine will always be a
great and profitable industry. All of
the country between Portland and the
White Mountains is one great growing
forest and the rapidity with which, the
trees grow surprises me"

He Barred Newcastle.

When Edward VII as Prince of Wales
visited America in 1850. Canada went
wild over him. and in Detroit and
Chicago the crowds were so dense
that the party could scarcely reach
their hotel. So many were the recep-
tons, dinners and other social func-
tons in which the prince participated
that he finally broke down through
sheer fatigue and overexcitement. The
Duke of Newcastle, who was the
princes companion. decided. therefore,
to stop off on their way to St. Louis ut
Dwight Station, a quiet village famous
for it's shooting. The prince brought
down a bag of II brace of quail and
four rabbits. But the pleasure of the
day was marred by the following Incl
dent:
AS the royal party approached a
farmhouse an Enthusiastically British
settler appeared at the door and invited
every one except the Duke of Newcas-
tie to enter.

sworn that you shall never set a foot

Accordingly the party passed on, and

landlord. had to forego the honor of en-
tertaining royalty under his roof.

History of the aHiss.s

There is not an actor, an actress, a
vocalist or other public performer, in
GLIDING the politician, but must be in
terested in the hiss and its origin.
DIR. Ainslie Hollis in The Humani-
tartan tells. under the title of Before
Babel" of his researches as TO the pre-
vailing language before the confusion
of tongues
Referring to the aforesaid awesome
word. he writes: Perhaps the sibilant
SIS (st, is. shl is one of the oldest sounds
in animated nature, as it undoubtedly
is one of the simplest to produce.
"NocaliZed in the English hiss Chist,
hush we find the pure sibilant adopted
by beasts, birds and reptiles as an ex-
pressiye of the warning in times Of
stress
Even the crustacean cirrhipeds can
produce the sound, when there is an
adjacent source of danger although
they are not supplied with a proper yo-
cal apparatus. ..
Besides acting as a warning not to
its own kith, some predatory animals,
as, for instance, some Of the smaller
carniyora and certain snakes, utter
the sound in a minatory manner to
ward off Objectionable intruders from
their lair.
Equivalent in the former case to the
expressions Keep quiet Stand STILL
a hiss is construed in its more widely
known sense among animals of differ
ent species as Come forward at your
peril impressing a visitor in search of
hospitality much in the same way as
did the legend Cave canem,' on the
threshold of a Roman mansion"
The paragraph concludes sagely: sour
English hiss is mainly restricted to the
use of dissatisfied playgoers. The
sound here retains it's primitive mean

The garrison of Goruckpoor in the
province of Ondh. India. in the year
1862 consisted of 1900 men, and about
half of these were split up into small
detachments and stationed here and
there in the north to keep order among
the hill men and punish raiding daeoits.
Dacoits are bands of robbers under
command of q chief who holds a re-
ligious influence over them. and they

CANAAN, CONN. THURSDAY APRIL A. 1901

In a week the strong, sssTvSs:-e man
was becoming a mental wreck. He
turned TO us for pity and sympathy.
but we had little TO give. He had been
brutal in his vengeance.
The surgeon looked upon the case
at first as some disorder OF the brain,
but later on acknowledged that 1t was
something beyond his medicine. No
one else could see the specter. The
colonel would say that ii sat beside
him or stood in the door. but there was
nothing for other eyes TO rest upon.
He would draw his sword and cut and
slash and thrust at the specter. but he
could not harm il. BY the surgeons
advice the colonel returned TO Goruck-
poor. 1t was reported as case Of
breaking down over mental anxiety,
but hundreds of people came to know
better. The specter followed him back,
followed him to the house of n friend,
sat with him through every night and
logged at his heels through every hour
of the day. He could no more shake
it of than he could change the color
of his eyes. He made the gamest sort
of fight. knowing that his future career
was at stake. and at length all men,
came TO pity him--pity him and avoid
him as one accused. He was medically
treated. given brief furloughs and
every effort made to build him up. but
at the end of eight months, every day
and every night of which had been a
terror TO him, he ended by blowing
out his brains
Was it case of a man haunted by
spirit seeking revenge? 1t was not
so reported officially. but from first to
last and from the highest to the lowest,
and this includes two surgeons, it was
fully and firmly believed that 1t was,
and the uncanny affair had a great
influence over other officers in their
future treatment of the natives.
