THE GANNETT GENEALOGY.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: In
the item giving an account of the death of
Luther Gannett, which appeared in your
issue of Jan, Both, it was stated that he
was brother of the late Rev. Ezra Stiles
Gannett. This is an error. His brother
was probably Rev. George Gannett of Bos-
ton. The writer of that item somehow got
the two confounded, which is quite natural
since they were both clergymen and both
being d. DIS and living in Boston so long.
Geo. Gannett was for many years a well
known teacher in Boston, and the Gannett
School, or Institute, was at one time one
of the leading institutions for girls in New
England.
In the Gannett Genealogy book these
entries may be found:
Capt Luther Gannett, born at East
Bridgewater, Mass, 1884 Settled at Bel
fast, Me-, 1920
His children were
Luther, born Jan. 26, 1914.
George, born Oct. 10, 1919.
Luther, Jr., married, as stated in the
item referred to, in 1889, Martha J. Eames
of Jackson, Me.
Their children were
Edwin Augustus, born 1910, died 1859.
Mary Jane, born 1S47, died 1S49.
Rev. Ezra Stiles Gannett D. d., was
cousin of Luther, but quite remote.
The parents of f. S. Gannett were Caleb
and Ruth, daughter of Ezra Stiles, Presi-
dent of Yale College
This Gap hnr A
graduated from Harvard in 1921, and was
ordained and installed as colleague of Rev.
William Ellery Claiming, ID. d., pastor of
the Federal street church in Boston June
80, 1924. Eighteen years after, viz. in Octo-
Der, 1912, DR.. Claiming died, when Mr.
Gannett became full paster.
In March, 1859, the venerable church in
Federal street was abandoned, and for
nearly three years the society led sort of
tabernacle life while it waited the compile
tion of the new and graceful building, since
known as the Arlington street church, one
of the most conspicuous and beautiful in
Boston. In this noble church he continued
his able and useful ministrations until near
the close of the summer of 1871, noble and
consecrated service of nearly fifty years.
And what prolific and historical years they
were
His death, like that of his kinsman here,
was tragic in the extreme. Saturday even
ing near the last of August he took the late
train for Lynn, where he was to preach the
following day. Six miles out from Boston
an express train from behind dashed into it.
No friend knew of it-nO one recognized the
poor disfgured face until the afternoon of
the next day.
He left two children Mrs Kate Gannett
Wells of Boston and Rev. William Chan
ming Gannett Of Rochester, N. Y, to the
latter of whom the writer is under Obliga-
tiOn for some Of the facts here given. B.

more than last year. No concessions are
made from the recent advance, but there
are still buyers who prefer to accept a
poorer quality at old prices Retailers re-
port large stocks, though not more than will
be required for the customary spring trade.
Local jobbing is especially good in rubber
overshoes and warm goods Hemlock sole
is still the best supported leather, and light
weights are in short supply. Tanners are

some hides at Chicago are again easier in

A very interesting program was given at
the meeting of the b. H. S. Literary Club

Longfellow's well known poems, "The

very pleasing manner. Mr.. Donald Glenn

a selection from Longfellow, the greatest of
all our poets. Miss Helen Dilworth had an
extremely interesting essay on "Maine
Katherine c. Quimby followed her with j.
w. Wheeler's song, ''The Old Town Clock"
and repeated the chorus in response to the
continued applause. Miss Pilsbury read
two poems from Holman Day, with short
introduction, and Mr.. Gould brought down
the house with selection from Laura E.
Richards. The program closed with piano
solo by Miss Evelyn P. Morrison, which was
executed with much skill. Mr.. Dunton
made few remarks, and Mr.. Howard fol-
lowed his example. At a short business
session before the program the minutes of
the last meeting were read, and two bylaws
relative to quorum and order of business
were adopted.

The Edinburgh Scotsman begs leave

duce it. a few drops of a solution of
carbolic acid added to -four paste will

When the effect of the acid has worn

going to the bad as rapidly as if ii had
not been treated antiseptically at all.
NIolds will grow in it, and it will decay

1t is in this way cold may act as an
antiseptic when it is used to preserve
meat and fish. There is no destruction,
but only arrest of germ life. If we wish
to kill microbes, therefore, we not only
have to use disinfectant, but we must
employ it in proper proportions and see
that it thoroughly attacks the germs
we wish to destroy. 1t is for this rea-
son that all attempts to kill germs
which the air may contain are worse
than useless. We cannot "disfnfect' the
air. If we could do so, we should re-
quire to saturate the air with our germ
icide to such an extent that to breathe
it would kill US.
We get an excellent example of this
fallacy of ''disinfecting air" when we
reflect that in using burning sulphur to

have to use it in such a way and in

Naming the Hymn.

A story is told of negro evangel-
ical minister who held night services in
chapel formerly used by the Angli-
can church. In a hymnal which had
been left he found an old familiar
hymn suitable for his sermon. but the
Roman number CXIX somewhat con-
fused him, and he was embarrassed as
to how to announce the hymn. AS was
the custom, he read the stanzas through,
seeming still confused. He then re-
read the first stanzas, which did not
seem to aid him in helping the congre-
cation, now very much bewildered.

himself up and seemed to grasp the sit

You feel the drops of sweat on your

Hiding Behind Big Words.

A mining expert recently described a
lode as traversing "a metamorphic
matrix of somewhat argilloarenace-
Gus composition" This means literally
"a changed mass of a somewhat clayey-
sandy composition" This in its turn
may be translated into plain English
as mud.
Why choke a puny fact with muir
derous polysyllables? Huxley and OAR
win, Lyell and Faraday could so write
as to be ''understanded of the people,"
and there is suspicion abroad in these
times that the big words so freely used
by small men are q device to conceal
ignorance and ineXact thought rather
than a proof of superior knowledge

Things Which Overcome n Writer
When Beginning an Article.
There is q feeling of timidity that
oftentimes overcomes writer when
beginning an article. AS in writing Il
letter, it is getting started that puzzles.
1t is the custom to begin with slow
moving piston and work gradually into
full speed until the flow OF words is
free. and then the difficulty with some
of Us is TO find the brake valve Again,
a writer sometimes discovers that his
beginning is more fitting ending, and
vice versa. The newspaper style is TO
throw general conclusions up strong
under the headlines, while the sermon
iZer reserves them until his final eli
max.
Thackeray remarked once that he
could never tell exactly what he was
going to say until his pen was in hand
and under motion and then did not fully
realize just what he was saying until it
was written. There is a sUbconsciOus-
ness that shapes writing as il does
This, l know, distmbs some
well known theories of speaking and
writing-as to weighing everything and
then measuring it out as druggist
compounds prescription-but my OBJ
servations are that the preparation is
more in getting full of a subject and
then letting the mind work free under
the impulse of the dominating idea.
There are as many ways and meth
DDS in writing and speaking as there
are individuals, and yet the fuudamen-
tai law ia the transmission of thought
and speech runs largely in the same
groove, whether it be the jargon of the
Hottentot or the polished periods of
the scholar. Human nature has its
own primitive impulses that defy all
rules of rhetoric and the power of ex-
pression-that is, the power, mind you
lis deeper seated than any artificial
formula of stylists. - National Maga-
