TATTOOING FOR HORSES.
Suggested ms Better Than Branding
ms n Means of Identifying
the Animals.

Own ers Of pure-bred registered an.
lmals are often bothered by the ques-
tion of how best to mark them, to dis
tinguish them in case they stray, and
to establish their identity under any
circumstances. The central expert
ment farm at Ottawa, Ont, suggests
tattooing in place of the more usual
Branding. The branding iron not only
frequently leaves an unsightly and dis
figuring scar, but it fails to serve every
purpose. since it indicates the owner
rather than particularly identifies the
animal. The tag and button devices
commonly used in the ear are usually
source of annoyance, due to the
aptitude they display for attaching
themselves to everything they may be
brushed against.
Various live stock associations. says
the Springfield Republican, have de-
viscd at one time and another more or
less ingenious, and less or more salts
factory devices to insure Identified
tion, but nearly all are open to the OBJ
lection that they fail in short time
to serve the end in view.

dlers of Karlsberg are to be met with
all over the valley of the Rhine. But
these must yield the palm in numbers
and enterprise to the musikanten, of
the Hartz mountains. who have made
the whole world their own. They are
not so often seen on the continent as
they formerly were, but they go to
England, the Cape, Australia, the
states, Canada, Brazil, Argentina, and

Many traveller in desert lands, when

season it stores up large quantity OF
water for the subsequent dry one,
when all the ground is parched with

is protected with long wiry spines
curved into hooks at the end, yet SO
strong and springy that If large
rock be thrown against them they re.
main uninjured. If the spines be
burned off one may, by long and tedi.
Gus effort, cut through the rind with a
stout knife; otherwise nothing but an
AK will ena BILE him to get at the interior
of this well-armored plant.
When the top is removed and hol.

with water-cool and refreshing,
though blistering sun may have been
beating upon the tough skin above II
all day. The water when first obtained
has whitish or smoky tint, but when
settled is as clear as crystal.

New Business Interests.

The office building and storehous :
which remained after the burning of tho
Wilder oilcloth factory, q few years ago,
are being repaired and placed in general

Hiram C. Winslow.

The people Of this community were
greatly shocked and saddened, Tuesday
morning, by the death of Hiram c.
| Winslow, which occurred, late Monday
, night at his home on School street. Mr.
Winslow had apparently been enjoying
his usual good health and retired, al
about 10 o'clock Monday evening, SEEM
ingly as well as ever, but he was I'M
able to sleep and kept tossing and turn
ing for about an hour. Finally his wife
spoke to him and as she did so noticed
a peculiar sound in his throat. she
arose as quickly as possible and sum-
moned help, but before anybody arrived
he had been dead several minutes, evil
IDENTIFY having passed away about the
time she first spoke to him.
He had always resided in this place,
having been born here in January, lS4l
and was the eldest son of the late Al
fred Winslow He served in the Civil
war for a term of nine months, having
enlisted in the 21st Maine Regiment,
and was made sergeant of his company.
After he returned from the war he en-
gagged in the harness business at the
upper village. and later in connection
with this became member of the firm
of A. Winslow & Co, grocers, in which
he continued until the present time.
He was united in marriage about 81
wears ago to Miss Ellen COrnforth OF
this place, who survives him. For more
than % years he had acted as town
clerk, being the second to hold that
office in this place. In politics he was
a staunch Republican, and in religion,
though not a member of the church,
he was constant attendant of the
Uniyersalist church and a firm believer
in its faith. Mr.. Winslow was proml-
nent in the Masonic order, being
Knight Templar, and was also mem
Der of Oakland Lodge, A. o. U. W., and
Sergeant Wyman Post, G. A. r.
He was a public-spirited man, inter-
ested in everything pertaining to the
welfare of the town and ever ready 10
respond when called upon for aid. In
his death the community feels a sense
of personal loss and he will be sadly
missed by all Besides his wife, one
sister, Mrs. w. II. Wheeler, and one
brother, Chester Z. A. Winslow, sur
vive him.

As there is now necessity of dis
tinguishing between the old and the
new City hall, some are calling the
former the Town hall and the latter the
City hall. and it seems to be pretty
good distinction. To the older citizeIrs
the term Town hall is a familiar one
and they recognize at once what build
ing is meant, and of course everyone
knows what City hall now means. AS
the older building was first and longest
a town hall and the new building has
only been a city hall. the two names
seem good. Meanwhile City Barn is
on the shelf among the relics.
