EAST HEBRON,

Rev L. d. Tibbetts passed the Sab
bath in York County. He has not en-
gagged as yet, but is expected to locate
in that vicinity, is the report.
Mrs. Carrie Cannon supplied for Rev.
Mr.. Tibbetts last Saturday. She sup
plies for few weeks in the Adventist
church, and her husband, Rev. Danville
Cannon, filled the place at Mechanic
Falls for her. She has been able to
preach but few Sabbaths this winter on
account of i'll health. Mrs. Cannon
gave very practical discourse adapted
chiefly to the young. Her husband was
a local preacher in this place few years
ago, and Mrs. GammOn's many friends
were very pleased to meet her and listen
to her from the pulpit.
The last report from Edward j. Bon
ney was that he had not gained any and
was very sick. Mrs. Bonney is sick
with the grippe and unable to sit up.
Sherman's wife was with them last week
if not now.
Every one is busy with the teams, and
We cannot hear often from the sick.
Fred Packard is said to be quite ill
but thought not seriously so.
Dea. and Mrs. Fuller are up around
the house once more. The deacon is
very anxious to get out again, but is still
unable.
Charles Trundy from Mechanic Falls
and Henry Whitman have cut Mr.. Caleb
Farris' pulp bolts and are hauling them
TO the station for Rumford Falls.
Isaac Marshall has been quite sick
with pneumonia, but is gaining of late.

BUTTER AS A MEDICINE.

For Thin, Weak People.

For Thin, Weak People.
Butter Is so common q commodity
that people use 1t and scarcely ever
think what wonderful value lies at
their hand in the pats Of dainty yellow
cream fat. OF course they know that 1t
is useful in many branches Of cookery
and that without its aid the table
would be bare of it's thinly rolled bread
and butter, Its delicate cakelcts and Its
other usual accessories. Beyond these
uses the value of butter is thing only
vaguely thought Of.
But this delicate fat Is as valuable
as the dearer cod liver oil for weakly
thin people, and doctors have frequent
" recommended the eating Of many
thin slices of bread thickly spread with
butter us means of pleasantly taking
into the bodily tissues one Of the pur-
est forms Of fat it is possible to get.
Butter is carbon, and all excess OF
It Is stored up as fat in the body. II
gives energy and power to work to
those who eat heartily of it. So 1t is
not economy at table to spare the but
ter, even to the healthy folk. For any
one afflicted with consumption butter
cookery. If plenty Of fat can be digest
ed, is ore Of the best ways Of curing
the disease If it is in Its early stages
or of keeping it at bay if advanced.
Butter is not simple fat. cJl:posed
Of merely one sort. 1t Is a mixture OF
no less than seven different sorts of
fats, and 10 more complex oil can be
taken than this Is.

Altogether it makes possession upon

An Odd Use For the Pin.

An odd use that the pin was put tc
long ago was that Of checking the In
temperate habits Of the English. st
Dunstan conceived the idea of dividing
the tankards out Of which the liquor
was drunk into eight equal parts. each
part marked with silver pin. The
cups were generous affairs. holding
two quarts. Consequently the quantit!
from pin to pin was half a pint, and
the regulation was that the drinkel
stop at pin"
Roisterers. however. prevented the
purpose of good st. Dunstan and estab
lished the rule Of good fellowship,
by which the drinker was to stop only
at a pin. II he drank beyond. he Lac
to 60 on to the next mark. AS 1t was
difficult to stop exactly ut IL pin The
vain efforts always excited III .:cl
mirth, and the trial usually ended will
the draining Of the tankard.

How a Diamond Cut. Glass.

It has been ascertained by series Of
experiments that diamond does not
cut out the glass, file fashion, but
forces the particles apart, so that a
continuous crack Is formed along the
line of the intended cut. The crack
once begun, very small force is neces-
sary to carry it through the glass, and
thus the piece is easily broken off. The
superficial crack or cut need not be
deep. A depth. according to fine meas
uremcnts, Of a two-hundredth part of
one inch is quite sufficient to accom-
plish the purpose, so that the applica-
ton Of much force in using the dia-
mond only wears out the gem without
doing the work any better.
Numerous stones, such as quartz ana
other minerals, when ground into
proper form, will cut glass like a dia-
mond, but are not so valuable for that
purpose, lacking the requisite hardness
and soon losing the sharp edge neces'
sary to make the operation success.

MAN is NOT MONARCH.
His Senses Are Less Acute Than Are
Those Of Aaimals.

ri. Senses Are Less Acute Than Afs
Those Of Aaimals.
Mans vaunted faculties are far less
acute than some Of the lesser crea'
lures.
The human eye Is a wonderful piece
Of mechanism, with Its little bundle Of
nerves that in some mysterious way
make INSTALLATION possible. Yet this
eve, with all its delicacy OF discern
ment, is but a circumscribed organ al
compared with the eye Of the eagle
which sees infinitely farther than car
any human eye. The same is true Of
the human ear. The rats and the mice
that haunt our houses, the squirrels
that caper about the woods and the
nunberless other little animals al
hear better than we do. They may moi
trace refinement in sound as accurate
lv as can man, but for catching SOUND
ut long range theirs are the ears mos
perfectly constructed.
The sense of touch is more accurate
" developed elsewhere in the animal
kingdom than in man. No man made
device for measuring water pressure
EQUALS that of the fish, whose sides al
strung with nerves register the water
pressure correctly every time and In
form his fishship just how much nc
can stand and when to move up OF
down.
A dogs sense Of smell is always re
spected by man. who frequently, as IN
the case of a hunter, relies on 1t to sup
plement the findings Of his own less
active olfactory nerve.
When It comes to the human voice

GREENWOOD.

"Calm was the day, and the scene de-
lightful." The day was last Tuesday
and was so calm that when standing on
height of land, the sound of four axes
could be plainly heard from as many d.
rections, but not from the four cardinal
points of compass. The fact is, Wood
man isn't sparing the tree worth cent,
as the poet commanded him to, but cut
ting it down more rapidly than ever be-
fore, since it first numbered the ground.
But it was stated in the second clause
that the scene was delightful, and SO it
was for winter, the night of the year,
but of course not to be compared to the
season in autumn when the forest leaves
take on all the prismatic colors, and
many other shades that the prism never
tried to produce. There was also a
woodpecker drumming away, down in
the valley, on an old hollow tree, and
that is said by some to be sure sign of
a spell of weather. That looks quite
reasonable, but cannot vouch for the
truth of it, having never made that de-
partment of nature special study.
