An overcrowded steamship sailed away.
The third day out, a husky miner came
Up to the clerk, and, calling him by name.
He said Your ship is crowded, sir, n heap
Too much for me; find me u place to Sleep"
The clerk responded, with a stately smile:
''Sleep where you've been a-sleeping all the
while"

quick.

He's convalesced, and now, since he is
stronger,
He swears he won't endure it any longer"

Tea leaves should never be thrown
away. They are excellent cleansers
of woolen fabrics, especially carpets.
Sprinkle them over the carpets just
before sweeping. They can also be
put to other uses. When few days
old pour boiling water over them and
leave until nearly cold; strain and use
the water for washing paint. White
paint may be easily cleaned by rub
bing it with flannel that has been
dipped into whiting.

The boys got their heads together
and from that time forth Mr.. Law
rences life became unbearable. One
night, when he came in late, he found
his doors and windows nailed shut and
was compelled to sleep in Goldth-
waite's room. He was subjected to
many other annoyances. One evening
when he attended a dance at hotel
at North West Hampton he found that
his dancing pumps had been stolen
from his satchel and replaced by
pair of dusty goloshes. Lawrence.
however, bore these indignities with
the stoicism of an Indian chief.
The end of the three weeks brought
with it the time of Lawrence's de-
parture, but strange to say there was
little happiness among the young men
over that fact. They had come to
the conclusion that Lawrence had won

thing" said Chauncy.
Nothing" said Grey. Eyes, we
have; we have succeeded in bringing
them closer together. If we had kept
on much longer we would have had
them engaged. That is, If they are not
engaged already"
"Oh, don't let that worry you," said
Dwight, who became angry when any
one spoke of Miss Kennedy being en-
gagged.
The boys were all seated in the sum-
mer-house near the winding pathway.
Lawrence was to leave on the 10 o'clock
train, and it was already 9 O'Clock.
Miss Kennedy and Lawrence had not
been seen for some time and Gold
thwaite was also missing. There was
no moon and it was quit dark. Chaun-
cy and his companions sat silently in
the summer-house, every man putting
gloomily upon pipe. There came a
sound of laughter from the porch and
second later three persons came
strolling down the driveway. One
was Miss Kennedy, the other two
were Goldthwaite and Lawrence. One
was walking very near Miss Kennedy.
He was Goldthwaite. Lawrence SEEM
ed content to fall into the background.
He carried a dress-suit case in either
hand. AS they reached the summer
house, Goldthwaite looked back at
Lawrence and said:
Say, Jack, it was blamed fine of
you to turn in and help Edith and me
out the way you did. The boys would
have killed me had they known that
l was engaged to her before she came
here, but we were not quite ready to
announce it at first and did not dare
to afterward. Your a good actor,
Lawrence, and l see no harm in your
flirting with a sfrl even il she is your
sister-in-law. You came at the right
time; l could not have kept the secret
much longer. We will follow you to
the day after tomorrow"
Then they passed on to the depot.
The summer-house remained as
dark and as quite as the abode of the
dead. Far into the night shone the
glow of the embers in dozen bull
dog pipes, and when the damp mid
night breeze began to set in from the

Foucault's famous demonstration of
the earth's diurnal rotation by means
of a pendulum. made at the Pantheon,
in Paris, in 1851, is to be repeated un-
der the supervision of NJ Berget, as
sistant to M. Poimcare. Workmen are
now busy, says a correspondent of Ma
ture, making the necessary prepera-
tions. The pendulum itself is ball of
lead weighing about GO pounds. 1t
was used in 1869 by M. Maumenee for
observations in the Cathedral of
Rheims. The demonstration consists
in the fact that the heavy pendulum
ball, once set in motion, will continue
to swing for several hours, and that
while the plane in which it swings
remains constantly the same the
earth's movement of rotation causes
an apparent twist of this plane so that
the direction of the swing slowly
changes with reference to the points
of the compass.

An astonishing decrease in the tin
sile strength and ductility of bronze
at temperatures above 400 degrees
Fahrenheit has been reported by Prof.
G. Bach of Stuttgart. With an alloy
of 81 percent of "copper" four of zinc
and five of tin, these properties were
reduced about percent at 400 de-
grees, but about so percent at GOO de-
grees. This discovery suggests eau
tion in the use of bronze for engine
parts in contact with superheated
steam.

Oils CT chamomile, rosemary, cumin,
illicum anisatum and rose are found
by Dubois to phosphoresce in the cold
on agitation with an alcoholic solu-
ton of potassium hydrate. The differ
ent behaviour of oils of geranium and
pelargonium gives an easy means of
recognizing substitutions of these oils
for oil Of rose. Turpentine oil does,
not phorphoresce when fresh, but
sometimes does so when old The
most brilliant effect is shown by aescu-
lin a glucoside of horse chestnut bark.
In the cold alcoholic solution of potas-
sium hydrate this substance sparkles
for hours, brihtening up with every
movement of the liquid, and giving an
intensity of light in direct proportion
to the purity of the aesculin. In no
case, however, is this phosphorescence
equal to that of cultures of marine
photo-bacteria.

its of various American cities, he has
decided to again reside in New Haven,
and having purchased of The Pease-
Lewis Co. the original agency, resumes

complete and accurate information re-
garding all European and Coastwise
steamship lines, and also represents
Raymond & Whitcomb Co.

ing foreign drafts for any amount pay
able at sight almost everywhere
abroad, and supplying the exceedingly
convenient Cheques" of the American

Sudden Death Of james l.. Ftszgibb"ns
James L. Fitzgibbons, employed as
a clerk in the master mechanics office
of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford Railroad company, was at
work as usual Saturday morning when
suddenly he toppled over onto his desk,
dead Mr.. F'itzgibbons was about forty
years old and married. Up to the time
of his death he had evidently been in
his usual good health. He resided at
No. 1853 Congress avenue, where news
of death was taken to the widow,
whose crushing loss has the deepest
sympathy of ALL
The deceased was we'll known in rail-
road circles and leaves numerous
friends to mourn his untimely loss.
After he had been stricken DR.. Bergen
was summoned and later Medical Ex-
aminer Bartlett was called and said
that Mr. Fitzgibbons had died from
heart disease.
THE LATE MRS. JOHN GILBERT.
The recent death of Mrs, Catherine
Stowe Gilbert, the beloved wife of Mr..
John Gilbert, has removed from this
life a truly beautiful character and
Christian woman. Mrs. Gilbert was
stricken some twelve weeks ago with
apoplexy, and after many weeks of pa
tient suffering died at her late resi-
dence, No. 1865 Whalley avenue,
Mrs, Gilbert's maiden name was
Catherine Stowe Boothe, and she was
the daughter of the late Mr.. and Mrs.

SELF EVIDENT TRUTH.
Value Of Advertising Needs No Demon.
stratlon in This Day.

Twenty-Five years ago there were
any number of business men to be
found who said that advertising does
not pay. But these have disappeared
utterly from the larger marts of trade
They either failed in business or they
died of envy and grief, the former be-
cause of the success of their rivals
who realized that their own business
was going to the "demnition bow
vows" as Mr.. Mantaliui would
say. The few that survive are restrlc-
ted to the small towns, and these
are too lazy to wait upon the few
customers who enter their place of
business. In geometry one finds
what are termed axioms which need
no demonstration, for the reason
that they are self evident truths. 1t
is automatic that advertising does
pay. This means practical, common
sense, business advertising-judici-

Old Fiddler Played and Called.

Owing toIone of the secret or
ders having a call meeting and
the presence of the grand officers,
also the establishing of a ladies
degree to that order; and the
protracted meeting of Rev. Cox
and Sparks circus at Madison
vile all happening on the night
of the Old Fiddler's Contest,
there was nothing like as large a
crowd as would have been other
wise. However there was a
moderately well filled house and
an appreciative audience. The
old bow scrapers were repeatedly
cheered and frequently called
the second time. After the con-
test a little spread was enjoyed
and quite a nice time was had
all round. In the single contest
Mr.. Jap Sisk received 1st prize
and r. p. league 2nd. Earring
ton won the prize over Hopkins
vile and Christian county over
Hopkins. There were enough
prizes furnished by Darlington
merchants for all the contestants
and each received one.
On account of lack of space we
cannot give the names Of the
contestants.
