Tho increasing business of Ellis &
Wise at North Guilford has obliged

drying purposes in their cloth board

promising.

carloads of lumber, mostly pine, yearly.
The three lobster pounds at New

A Japanese superstItIon

Writing extensively of dragon flies
tafcadio Hearn says in his book, "A
Japanese Miscellany" of "the dragon
fly Of the dead"
sUnlike the equally weird name
"yurei-tombo. or ghost dragon fly the
term shroai-tombo does not refer to
the appearance Of the insect, but to
the strange belief that certain dragon
files are ridden by the dead, used as
winged steeds.
"Erom the morning Of the thirteenth
to the midnight Of the fifteenth day of
the old seventh month-the time OF the
festival OF the Bon-the dragon files
are said to carry the hotoke-sama, the
august spirits Of the ancestors, who
then revisit their former homes. There
fore, during the Buddhist All Souls
children are forbidden to modest any
dragon flies, especially dragon flies
that may happen to enter the family
dwelling.
"This supposed relation Of dragon
flies to the supernatural world helps to
explain an old folk saying, still current
In some provinces, to the effect that the

How Frederick stopped Dueiing.

When Frederick the Great assembled
the Prussian throne, fatal duels among
officers were Of daily occurrence. He
resolved to put an end to the practice,
and he did-for a time; as long as he
reigned, in fact He issued an edict
that any officer fighting a duel and
surviving would be shot or hanged.
Two officers appealed to him to be
allowed to try to STAY each other.
Granted on two conditions, that he (the
king should chose the ground and be
present at the encounter. Accepted.
Frederick chose the ground, attended
the "meet" and took his seat behind
the fine new gibbet he had erected in
honor Of the occasion. The combatants
approached his majesty, saw the glib
bet, became puzzled and embarrassed.
"What may this mean, your gracious
majestyT they ventured to ask.
at means this" was the suave reply
"that the man who survives will be
hanged as high as Haman on that Glib
bet"
There was no duel.-Pall Mall Ga
zette.

A popularity of that most beautiful
of South African antelopes the spring
box is that it always leaps over hui
man tracks. 1t is at once exceedingly
shy and marvelously active, and the
reason for this strange antc is its in
tense suspicion Of any possible enc
mics, among whom it has come to rec
ognize man as the most dangerous.
1t is not only with human tracks
that the springbOk goes through this
performance, for it does the same with
the tracks of lions or even when 1t
gets wind Of a lion. The leap is ex-
ceedingly graceful, and the animal COW
ers from twelve TO fifteen feet at each
bound. 1t drops on all four feet at
once and Immediately rises again, max
ing a clear spring without any run.
Its usual gait when not pursued is
light springy trot The springbok usual
" travels with its nose to the ground,

scent of enemies.

The shark Is a Slow Swimmer.

One Ill service nature has done the
shark-namely, that Of placing TRAN
puJar fin on his back which acts as
danger signal and gives warning OF his
approach. Happily the shark has not
been gifted with sufficient sagacity to
be aware of this popularity, for had he
been so he would unquestonably aban-
don his habit of swimming close to the
surface Of the water and would In that
case be enabled to approach his victim
unobserved. The shark is a slow SWIM
mer for his size and strength.
Byron observes, "As darts the dol
phin from the shark" But Byron was
a poet and does not appear to have
been a close observer of the habits of
inhabitants of the water, or he would
have known that q shark would have
no more chance Of catching a dolphin
than a sheep would Of overhauling a
hare. A shark will keep up with a sail
ing ship, but it is as much as it can do
to follow in the wake Of fast steam
er, and a torpedo boat would be able to
give it points.

wEpNEsDAY EVENING, FEB. ~, 1902
We Grow Old In Pieces.

The general impression is that the
body grows old uniformly. From birth
till the age of twenty-five it grows In
size and weight. from twenty-five to
fifty It remains stationary, and from
that period 1t decays. Observations OF
expert psychologists show as that this
impression is not a correct one.
Each organ begins to age independ'
emily, each has It's period for the
change, and these periods differ with
the various organs and do not take
place coincidently, as we may have
supposed. The body attains its great
est size during the third decade and
remains in about the same condition
during the fourth and fifth decades,
that is true, but the brain reaches Its
greatest size in the second decade, the
kidneys reach their maximum size dur
ing the third decade, the muscles, skel-
eton and intestines during the fifth, the
heart and lungs in the eighth decade.
Increase or decrease In the size or
weight Of the body consequently is
not due to simultaneous increase or de-
crease IN all its parts.

PuehIos md the Compass.

Among the Pueblo Indians six points
Of the compass are recognized, and
each has its color. North is yellow,
west is blue, south is red, east is
white, the upper regions are many col
ored and the lower regions are black.
All the prey gods are represented by
their images in these six divisions.
For example, there is the yellow
mountain lion of the north, the blue
mountain lion Of the west, the red
mountain of the south, and so on.
Likewise it is with the other beasts,
and thus a very considerable number
Of deities is formed. All Of them must
receive worshipful attention lest they
get angry and revenge themselves for
the neglect.

Maternal Love of the whale

No other member Of the animal king
dom displays more maternal affection
than the whale, especially If its calf Is
harpooned. The harpooner neverthrows
his harpoon into the little one with the
the intention of killing 1t, for If this IS
done the mother will instantly forsake
It II alive and struggling, however,
the dam can be easily entlced toward
the boat to meet its fate. Knowing
this, the whale fishermen always strike
a calf If possible and thus often make
captures that could not be effected IN
der other circumstances.
AS soon as the dam becomes aware
of the sharing Of her young she rushes
toward It, encourages 1t to swim away
and even assists It by taking 1t under
her I'm. She seems to lose all regard
for her own safety and boldly attacks
the boat containing the whalemen or
circles about It totally regardless OF
the harpoons that are hurled st her and
enter her flesh.
