read. He looked for considerable oppo-

One of Fields Yarns,

Here is a paragraph which Eugene Field, who enjoyed making fun of his friends, once printed in his famous col umn of "Sharps and Flats:"
 "Dr. William F. Poole, the veteran bibliophile, is now in San Francisco at tending the meeting of the National Librarians association. While the train bearing the excursionists was en route through Arizona a stop of twenty min- utes was made one evening for supper at rude eating house, and here Dr. Poole had an exciting experience with tarantula. The venomous reptile at tackled the kindly old gentleman with singular voracity, and but for the high topped boots which MT. Poole wore se- rious injuries would have been inflicted upon our friends person. MT. Fred Hid, our public librarian. hearing Dr. Poole's cries for help, ran to the rescue and with his cane and umbrella suc- ceeded in keeping the tarantula at bay until the keeper of the restaurant fetch ed his gun and dispatched the malig- nant monster. The tarantuia weighed six pounds. Dr. Poole took the skin to San Francisco and will have 1t tanned 50 he can utilize 1t for the binding of one of his favorite books"

The metric system offers the great ad- vantage of being based upon the decimal notation, the same as our currency, and It's terms or denominations are written in the decimal form, the lowest denomina- tion at the right. The system derives it's name from the word meter" the stand ard unit of length, this unit being fixed as the one ten-millionth part of the dis tance from the equator to the pole, meas ured on the surface of the earth, meter being equal to little more than 39 ordi- nary inches. The unit of surface measure Is an ''are," of volume "stere," of ca- pacity ''liter," and of weight "gram." |" these terms being derived from the Latin and Greek. The higher denominations of each table are formed by prefixing to the standard unit the Greek numerals "deka" for 10, "hecto' for 100, "kilo' for 1000, etc. For sub -multiples, or low CT denominations, the Latin ordinals are used, "deci" for one-tenth, ''centi" fol one-hundredth, etc. These prefixes fur. nish the key to the whole system, since the name at once shows whether the unit is greater or less than the standard unit and how many times greater or lese. Thus, one dekameter denotes 10 meters and one decimeter denotes one-tenth of g meter. These terms and the order being once understood, the whole system be- comes clear and easily remembered.-Les. ke's Weekly.

Oxerreached Himself,

There is no man more pleasantly sit uated than the country editor, so call ed, who has well equipped printing office in a good town, with fair share of the county printing, good circula- tion and plenty of jobwork and adver- Using. It may be that he takes turn occasionally at working the press, mak. ing up the forms or even setting his own editorials in type, but he takes an honest pride in being able to do these things. He is willing to give every man his due, but insists on his avn rights and dares to maintain them.
 Such an editor was Colonel Blk of Boomtown. A customer whom he knew as close listed man came in one day to get hundred sale bills he had or dered the day before. The editor hand ed him the bills neatly tied in pack age. The customer united the string, laid the bills on the imposing stone'' and proceeded to count them.
 Editor Blk watched the count. When 1t was concluded. there proved to be six over and above the hundred. With out word Blk took the six extra bills off the pile, crumpled them in his hand, threw them into the office stove and smilingly bowed his crestfallen patron out.-YOuth's Companion.

A hearing on plea in ab. atement was had in the case of savings bank of Stafford Springs against John Shea. The plea was finally withdrawn. There was @ hearing on the foreclosure suit of Consider Risley of Vernon against F. Romaine Tucker of Rockville for a claim of $6482.

Smiledge received judgment for $S5 in the borough court of Stafford Springs, but appealed the case. Decision was re- served in both cases by Judge Case.

A TnnHt, Marro.

Stories of brute toughness and Ho- merle endurance are tenderly preserv. ed in the folklore of the water front how, for instance, Scipi0 Flanagan, ''the biggest nigger in the business" l" supported the entire weight of an inn mense packing case. weighing upward of 1900, on his prostrate body. The negro held the hand truck to receive the case, which in the hands of half a dozen men was being balanced at just the right angle to slip into place. But 1t hit the edge of the truck and knock ed it away, and the negro unluckily lost his footing and fell fat with the great box on top of him. He shrieked in terror and groaned, it was said, like siren whistle. but when a gang of fifteen men lifted the thing bodily and pulled him out all he did was to screw his fists into his eyes like big child, stretch his long limbs grotesQuely and return to work. Of course he talked about this feat for many day.-Frank Leslie's Monthly.

It is inexplicable how the old delu- sion that man cannot eat one quail a day for thirty days holds it's own. Any man can eat one quail day for thirty days. At Lawrence some years ago Will Upton ate two quails day for more than thirty days. For the first week or two he starved himself with the idea that he must keep up an appetite. After that he sometimes ate three or four of the birds in day.
 Another old fraud on the public is the belief that horse cannot pull a sack of sand at the end of a two hun dred foot rope. Any COW pony in Kan sas will go off on lope with such a sack.-Kansas City Journal.

Our answer Is: They are easier and more pleasant to take, more mild and gentle in effect, and more relia- ble, as they can always be depended up- on. Then they cleanse and invigorate the stomach and leave the bowels in a natural condition, while pills are more harsh in effect, and their use is often fol- lowed by constipation.
