A Blunt Query.

A good story is told Of one OF the dig
nitaries of the Scottish church. Before
he became known to fame he was min
lister Of n remote parish in Perthshire
and was not considered particularly
attractive preacher. At his suggestion
extensive alterations were made IN the
transept of his church, and these had
the effect Of sweeping away considera'
BILE seating accommodation. One day
after the alterations had been effected
he visited the church to see how II
looked.
"What do you think Of the improve
ments, JohnT he asked Of the beadle.
"Improvementsw exclaimed John IN
disdain. They're no improvements at

Dog. and somersa ults.

As there is more than one way OF
cooking a goose, so there Is more than
one method of teaching dog to throw
somersaults. But the most practical
and thorough manner is to fasten q
cord around the body Of the animal
close to the forelegs, and two people
should hold the ends Of the cord on
either side OF the unfortunate dog.
A third party armed with a stout
rope takes q position Immediately In
front Of the canine acrobat and with q
measured and mastery stroke flOgs the
floor at close quarters to the dogs
nose.
At each stroke Of the rope the dog
springs backward, and that movement
is the trainers golden opportunity. AS
the dog spring backward the rope pass,
ing under its body is jerked upward
and, although the first few attempts
may prove futile, the somersault Is &C.
quired in course Of time. An intelli.
gent dog soon sickens Of this order OF
things and throws somersaults with.
out the assistance Of ropes.

GREENWOOD.

The first thing to speak about this
week is haying, since every farmer is
busily engaged in it, either at home or
somewhere else. John Titus finished
up at home, Wednesday, and Thursday
morning he and Harry Cole commenced
cutting the grass on the James German
place, having previously bought it stand
ing. Mr.. Titus cut seven or eight tons of
hay more than last year, and the Bennett
place will cut nearly twice as much; but
the less said about the apple crop the
better. The time to talk about that was
last year.
And now the little black worm is feed
ing on the alders again, and apparently
more numerous than ever before. The
bushes look as though they were killed
by fire, and many of the leaves are
already fallen to the ground. The worms
eat only the edible part of the leaf, thus
leaving the skeleton to perish away, and
finally drop off.
There was a young Hebrew peddler
along here Tuesday, wanting old rubber,
as usual, and paying five cents a pound
for it. He was born in Russia 81 years
ago, has been in this country 10 years,
can speak good English, and read it to
some extent, although he did not know
a word of it when he left home. He
says his people are well used and con-
tented here in the United States, and
will never migrate to Palestine, however
much they may do so from other
countries. These sons of Abraham are
all well versed in the Old Testament
scriptures, but reject the New, and look
for Messiah yet to come.
Rev. Mr.. Rich and wife of West Paris
visited at the Bennett place recently. 1t
so happened that the folks were so busy
at haying that they could not entertain
them as they gladly would have done.
Hope they will come again when work
is not SO pressing, and promise to be less
worldly and more agreeable and spirit
ual on our part.
Yes, there is telephone in the air about
here, but not so much, it seems, as in
some other places. In addition to its
coming to the City from West Paris, it
extends through Richardson Hollow,
with branch to Stillman Coles on
Young Hill. 1t also comes into this
neighborhood from the Pond, 80 that the
families of Harry Cole, John Titus, and
Daniel Bryant, all live within speaking
distance. Furthermore, report says it is
to be extended on to Patch Mountain
and also through the Center to Locke's
Mills at some future day.
