proves. In personnel perhaps the best
citizenship of no town is better reflected.
At the same time, there is a suggestion
upon the record already made that old
fogyiSm is not dead. The order for
limestone is an instance. The town has
spent thousands upon thousands within
30 years for limestone and vet the his
tory of the futility of those thousands
does not yet teach us that money for
limestone in " torn Of THIS Sj.r is money
wasted. The track travelled and beaten
by Il generation of human feet is worn
out and too narrow for this age.
Couucilmcn should give their work
more and profounder study: indeed. it
should be continuous lesson running
through day-school into night school.
In other words, COuncilmen should not
wait for pav-mcetiugs to meet, but should
often as practicable assemble and far
from the madding crowds ignOblc

for perntnUcot, not transient municipal

of which he is Justly proud, he is
citizen worthy to preside over those
called to administer the towns affairs.
In politics, once demOcat, he left the
party in 1896 as IA protestant against un

populism.

George s. Wilson is a native of the
town, born March %, 1868, and has
never lived elsewhere. He is il house
builder-by inheritance as well as trade,
always having employment under his
father, A. J. Wilson, the veteran
builder, until Il few years ago when,
with his brothers, he joined in the pur-
chase of the business, now conducted
under the firm name of Wilson Bros
Until last year he had never taken any
part in politics. He was then placed by
his party on the democratic ticket for
Councilman and later enjoyed the pre-
ferment of those who constructed the
"Citizens" ticket. With this combina
ton i'll his favor he was easily elected
Mr.. Wilson is attentive to his duties
and gives the towns affairs his best

fairs than some of his colleagues. Be

With nice little family he resides on Il

Much of what is stated of Mr.. Wilson
can be repeated Of Charles H. Hamill
The latter, also democrat, was nomi-
mated on his partys ticket, his name
subsequently placed on the "Citizens"
ticket, and he also thus elected. As a
hOld-over he. too, is well posted and
takes leading part i'll Council pro-

and restaurant-kecpcr, and succeeds at

A lecture delivered by DR.. Victor
Horsley in England on "The Action of
Alcohol on the Brain" showed how
fibers connect all parts of the brain so
that it acts as whole. 1t was desired
to find out whether the brain as a
whole works as well with alcohol as
without. One way of testing this was
by testing the reaction time, the length
taken in perceiving given signal. He
tried complex experiment. showing a
signal with a number on it which was
not to be signaled back unless it was
above ten. This took longer, involving
association of ideas, and the time from
the very first was prolonged by alcohol.
Professor Horsley said that chloro-
form, ether, nitrous oxide and similar
narcotics acted in the same way. AL.
cohol produced dissolution of the
nerve centers.
Kraepelin had tried the action of al
cohol on muscular power by means of
the pressure dynamometer which was
squeezed at regular intervals. After Il
rest alcohol was taken, and at first
there was little increase, soon follow
ed by notable decrease. Under the
Influence of tea there was no decrease
at all. He showed a diagram con-
structed by DR.. Aschaffenberg repre-
senting the amount of type set up by
certain compositors in a quarter of an
hour before and after taking alcohol.
The amount was made less by alcohol.

Kent and Burr.

James Kent, whose famous "Com-

ed with Blackstone as the greatest
textbook on law, was a great admirer
of Alexander Hamilton, and when the
great Federalist was killed by Aaron
Burr in a duel he became the mplaca-
bic enemy of the latter. One day long
afterward when in New York the
Judge saw Burr on the opposite side
of Nassau street. He went across the
street as fast as his years would per-
init and. brandishlng his cane in Burr's
face, shouted:
You're scoundrel. sir. scoundrel,

Burr proved equal to the emergency.

ground and then said in his calmest
professional tone, "The opinions of the
learned chancellor are always entitled

Cologne Cathedral Was In Process of
Erection 032 Years.
While the first stone of Cologne ca
thedral was laid on Aug. 10, 124S. and
the body of the edifice was not opened
until Aug. 10, 1S4S 600 years later to
the very day, it was not, however un-
til Aug. 10, 1880, that the splendid
structure was finally reported complet-
ed, having thus occupied in building
the record time Of exactly 632 years.
The castle of Kingsgoberg, which
stands at the southern extremity of
Jutland, took 204 years from the laying
of the foundation stone to the rigging
of its masters banner on its highest
flagstaff. Its foundation stone was the
skull of its builders bitterest enemy.
Three months after its laying Count
Jhorsing, the builder of the castle. was
killed. His son was then in swaddling
clothes. He did not continue his ia
ther's work until aged 81.
On his twenty-fifth birthday he was
thrown into prison by the son Of the
man whose skull lay in the earth of
Kingsgoberg's foundation stone. In
this manner master after master of
kingsgoberg was stopped putting an
other stone toward the completion of
the founders work till civilization in
teryened.
Restormel castle, in Cornwall, took
30 years to build, of which period ex-
