The Notse Habit.

The New Yorker contracts In time
what may be called the noise habit.
Noise with him becomes a dissipation.
His nervous system demands 1t. This
is illustrated by the sensations he ex-
periences when he goes into the woods
or mountains after a continuous stay
In the city for many months. His first
feeling Is one of loneliness; something
seems to have suddenly gone out of his
life. Every tree seems to say, "Why
have you been so hot and noisy, my lit
tie sir? His sensations are somewhat
akin to those of a drunkard who has
been under alcoholic stimulation for
long time and suddenly has his drink
taken from him. His whole nervous
system feels the lack of the irritation
and stimulation of the city noise, to
which 1t has become accustomed. The
stiffness actually appals and depresses
him.
The streets of New York are deep,
narrow channels, and they are growing
constantly deeper as the buildings in
crease In height. These large reflect
ing surfaces on three sides of him
make the condition Of the man in the
street like that of the workman who
suffers from reflected noise while he
hammers rivets on the inside of boil

Four and It's Multiple of Ten.

The number four was anciently es-
termed the most perfect Of all, being
the arithmetical mean between one and
seven. Oman, the second caliph, said,
-Four things come hot baek-the sp9-
ken word, the sped arrow, the past life.
the neglected opportunity" In nature
there are four seasons. and the four
points of the compass.
Forty, a multiple of four by ten is
one of the sacred numbers. The pro-
baton of our first parents in the garden
of Eden is supposed to have been 40
years. The rain fell at the deluge 40
days and nights, and the water re-
NAMED on the earth 40 days. The
days of embalming the dead were 40.
Solomon's temple was 10 cubits long.
In it We're ten LAYERS, each four cubits
long and containing 40 baths.
Moses was 40 years old when he fed
into the land of indian. where he
dwelt 40 years. He was on Mount
Sinai 40 days and 40 nights The Is
raelites wandered in the wilderness 40
years. The Saviour tasted 40 days and
nights before entering upon public life.
The same time elapsed between the
resurrection and the ascension.

PATRONS OF HUsBANDRY.
Annual Field Day at Lakewood.
Splendid Day and Big Rush.

All roads led to Lakewood, yesterday,
and all roads, electrics included, were
crowded with patrons and friends wend-
ing their way to the great center point
of attraction at Lakewood.
The following State officers were
present. Master, o. Gardner; lecturer,
W. j. Thompson; chaplain, S. F. Emer-
son; secretary, E. H. Libbey; ceres,

hogan were among the prominent mem
bers present.
The State Master could not arrive till
late In the forenoon therefore the sixth
degree could not belconferred until after
noon, the fifth degree having been con-
ferred upon % patrons before the arrival
of the State Master.
After comforting the sixth degree on
ITO candidates the people gathered at
the stand in the grove to listen to the
speaking. Scion band opened the ex-
ercises with choice selections and Mar
ager Fairbrother, in fitting words, wei
coined the Grange to Lakewood; o. A.
Salley, Master of the Somerset Pomona,
who presided, responded to the welcome
The first speaker was Mrs. Woodman of
Michigan, who spoke earnestly and
eloquently for a short time but her
voice soon failed her because Of severe
cold and she was obliged to give way to
w. j. Thompson, Lecturer of the State
Grange All who have heard Prof.
Thompson know what an interesting
speaker he is and his address on the ad-
vancement of the work of the Grange
and society at large was most warmly
received.
State Master Obadiah Gardner spoke
effectively to the large audience, which
concluded the speaking for the occasion.
The music by Scion Cornet Band was
highly complimented and the meeting
throughout much enjoyed. Many re-
grets were expressed that Mrs. Wood
mans illness prevented her from max
ing her address in full. A social dance
in the pavilion for the benefit of Skow-
hogan degree team closed the proceed
ings of the day.
The gathering was conceded to be the
largest ever in evidence at Somerset
Grange festival. 1t was a representative
one of the County as all sections were
represented by earnest men and women
of the order.
The Somerset Traction Company took
good care of the people at Lakewood and
provided excellent car service to and
from the grounds.

Arab and the Telephone.

We had a party of Arabs along with
US and took them all over great news
paper office. Everything was wildly
astonishing to them. They had imag-
ined that the Koran contained all the
knowledge and wisdom Of the world,
yet here were the telegraph. the tele-
phone the electrotype and the printing
press. The place was a veritable en-
chanters' castle to them. They would
never have believed in the telephone If
l had not called up their hotel and got
one Of their own party at that end Of
the wire.
The dervish who had come along was
bold as well as pious. When he heard
that his friend five miles away was
talking through the instrument, he
made a dash at 1t. He was greatly ex-
cited and yelled in a megaphone voice
He thought we were tricklng him, but
here was his friend talking Arabic. He
rolled his eyes at me In a despairing
manner and then began search for
devils, being quite convinced that the
phone was an invention of satan.-In-

The Races.

The August meeting of the North
Arson Trottng Association was held
Saturday afternoon, August 18th, after a
postponement of one week The day
and the attendance was all that the
management could ask for. 1t was a
large number that came from the sur.
rounding towns; the people on the line
of the Somerset Railway were well
represented. The trotting park is favor
ably situated to accommodate the pub
lie. Owing to the races at Pittsfield
and other places several of the horses
that would have been here Aug. 10th,
did not come, SO that the number in the
two classes was not what was expected.
The ball game Oaklands vs Madisons
was we'll supported by the lovers of the
game from both Oakland and Madison.
The game was easily won by the Oak
lands by a score of 10 to 3.
There were four starters in the 50
class, Fred F. drew the pole and won
the race in three straight heats, Jim B.
made close fight for second money in
the last heat of the race. OF the three
starters in the 2.27 class Tom Nolan
drew the pole it was a race to win from
the start but the clinton mare, Nancy G -,
was at her best and won the race.
Following is the summary of the
races.

Hoyt, with playwright friend, was
once witnessing the production of a
play-not his own-says the New York
Clipper. The leading man was well
known to be a poor study" and this
night was on very unfamiliar terms
with his part The voice of the prompt
er was continuously in evidence, though
this was overlooked, for the actor was
great favorite.
Just before the end of the act Hoyt
went out, but returned a moment later
just rs the curtain went down on deaf
ening applause.
"Who are they calling forY he asked
of his friend who answered by naming
