Barn Burned.

The fine large barn of II. S.
Curry just southwest of Colgate
burned to the ground last Thurs
day afternoon. We have not
been able to get all details in re-
gard to the fire, but as much as
we can learn 1t was caused by
spontaneous combustion. Fire
started three or four times in
different places in the barn dur
ing the, day and from what we
can learn the fire caught the last
time under the floor and, was all
a mass If flames before it was
discovered. 1t was a heavy loss
to MIR. Curry as he not only lost
his barn but all his next years
feed. He carried some insur.
ance. "

Heavy Rain.

A heavy rain visited this sec
ton of the state last Monday. 1t
commenced to rain shortly after
supper Sunday night and contir-
ued for atleasttwenty-four hours
without stepping. Threshing
was stopped and it will be Satur-
day with the best of weather be-
fore flax threshing can be con-
tinued. If we are not favored
with at least three weeks of nice
weather from this on there will
be lots of flax that will rot in the
field.

Hopes Grain Market.

Hope is certainly one of the
best-if not the best-grain
markctin the state. 1t has been
a general round Of pleasure in
the vicinity of the elevators for
the past week or ten days. The
market, on flax especially, has
gone clear out OF sight paying
as high as 10 cents above market
price. Let the good work go on.
1t is good thing for the farmers
who have grain to sell.

The threshing engine belong
ing to Ed Gamelgard, who lives
about twelve miles southwest of
this place, exploded last Satur-,
day afternoon about 4 o'clock,
killing the engineer outright and
breaking Peter Jenson's arm
which will have to be amputated.
The engineer was standing on
the platform at the rear of the
engine when the explosion came
and Jenson was standing on the
tank pumping water. Lack of
water is said to have been the
cause of the trouble and the
pumping of cold water into the
red hot boiler. Both ends were
blown out of the boiler throwing
large pieces of iron for rods in
every direction. The explosion
was so great as to tear the feeder
off the separator and otherwise
racking the machine. 1t lifted a
hayrack half filled with bundles
and sat it off in the field a mum Der
of rods away, tie man on the
rack came out without a scratch.
: The engineers head was parti'
cally blown off. Thereport could
be heard for miles and it was
but a short time until a large
crowd was on the scene. a
threshipg crew working a mile
and halt away heard the repor
and Immediately went to theil
assistance and it was through
the efforts of the crowd that th'
separator and field of grain wer'
saved, as fire had caught in

The King Had to Borrow.

On q recent occasion King Christian
of Denmark, while out for q walk,
met one Of his courtiers who was re-
nowned for his stinginess. AS it hap
pened on a previous occasion, the
King had treated him, and it had
come to the royal ears that the cOur-
tier had not yet finished grumbling at
having been "bilked." Full OF desire
to repair the past, the King rushed up
to his subject:
Now, my dear count, am really
going TO stand treat on this occasion" !"
Then, 10 and behold as usual, on
searching for money, the King found
none! Luckily, at that moment he
saw through the open door the Crown
Prince and his equerry riding by. The
King rushed out and called to his SON.:
For goodness sake, lend me some
cash. I've stood treat to Count So
and-so again, and if he finds himself
done for a second time, he will raise
Il rebellion"
The situation was saved, but the
Court has not yet finished its laugh

Early New YorI,,s JournnIlsm.

A newspaper writer has discovered
that the first newspaper in New York
was begun on November 16, 1925; a
second one entered the field November
o. 1873. During the Revolution there
were five, which, by agreement, ap-
peared on each day Of the week, ex-
cept Sunday and Monday. Up to 1888
no daily had a circulation Of 5000.
Advertising agents were unknown.
The Sun, established September 3.
1888, was the first successful penny
paper. 1t soon printed four times as
many copies as the largest Of the dai-
lies, and its success made many iml-
tators. The editor of a daily had but
one assistant, and he rarely brought
in from the outside more than three
or four paragraphs in a day. The total
receipts of the chief newspaper in
1925 might have been S35, 900; in 1s45,
100000; In 1860, 100000; and in 1872,
$1,000,000, The trade and commercial
weeklies began as far back as 1870,
but most Of the strong ones were
founded just before the Civil War; and
had a very difficult time in getting
established.

The Caro- of the Hands in Cold weather.

The Caro- of the Hands in Cold Weather.
Any extreme temperature or either
very hot or very cold water is not good
for the hands. Warm water is more
cleansing than cold water A dozen
drops Of the tincture Of benzoin added
to a basin of warm water is beneficial
to the hands CASTLE or one of the fine
toilet soaps should be used. A generous
ather should be made and the hands
thoroughly rubbed with it. A rubber
fiesh-brush is a great comfort. A little
bran or oatmeal if put in the water has
a softening effect, and makes the skin
yelvety and pliable. Almond meal is
also excellent for this purpose. Care
in drying the hands is essential to their
good condition, especially in winter.
A soft towel will gather up all the mois-
ture and should be used in between the
fingers of each hand so that every part
may be thoroughly dried. After drying
the hands it is a good plan to rub in
little cold cream or almond oil, after
which, if they are particularly sensitive,
powder may be busted over them.

To Reach From Sea to Sky.

Diamond Shoal Lightship, No. II,
Captain Tawes, arrived in Baltimore
from her station to be installed with a
new electrical apparatus, which is to
send n th!rteen-inch beam Of light
from the ships deck to the clouds.
The clusters Of lights now at the tops
of the two masrs are visible thirteen
miles at sea, but it is expected that the
pillar Of light rising to the skies may
he seen thirty and forty miles at sea.
This new marine signal is the de-
vice Of Commander Albert Ross, in
spector o. the Fifth lighthouse dis
triCt 1t is expected that the sky
piercing shaft of light will also be
adopted at Fire Island, Sandy Hook
and Nantucket Shoals lights 1t is
not proposed to abolish the present
masthead beacons. As a guide to mar
iners coming in from sea, the thirteen
inch electric beam, reaching up in the
dome Of night, will be as far ahead Of
big electric beacons Of the first order
as the beacons were ahead Of oil
lamps. This innovation is not only Of
local but worldwide interest.-Balti-

He's pulling here and there,
And testing all the working parts
While listening to the prayer.
he runs a mighty big machine,
It's full of funny things;
A mass OF boxes, pipes and tubes,
And sticks and Stats and strings;
There's little whistles for cent,
In rows and rows and rows;
III bet there's twenty miles of tubes
AS large as garden hose.
There's scores as round as stovepipes, and
There's lots so big and wide,
That several little boys / know
Could play around inside;
From little bits Of piccolos
That hardly make a toot,
Shere's every size up to the great
Big elevator chute.
The organist knows every one,
And how they ought to go
He makes them rumble like a storm,
Or plays them sweet and low;
At times you think them very near;
At times they're soaring high
Like angels voices, singing far
OF, somewhere in the sky.
For he can take this structure that's
As big as any house,
And make it squeak as softly as
A tiny little mouse;
And then he'll jerk out something with
A movement of the hand,
And make you think you're listening to
A military band.
He plays it with his fingers and
lie plays it with his toes,
And if he really wanted to
He'd play it with his Aose;
He's sliding up and down the bench,
He's working with his Ahees,
He's dancing round with both his feet
As lively as you please.
/ always like to take a seat
Where | can see him 60;
He's better than a sermon, and
He does me good, / know;
I like the life and movement and
I IKE to hear him play:
He is the most exciting thing
In town on Sabbath day.
George W. Stevens, in Toledo Times.
