Is There a Fire Bug in Montville?

The burning Of the barn and stable of
Deputy Sheriff W. A. Poland in Montville
Monday morning, Nov. 11th, was preceded
by petty thefts, as was the case in the fall
and winter of 1899, when thefts and fires
We're frequent and something like a reign of
terror prevailed The recent fire at Deputy
Poland'S was similar in one respect To that
at II. NJ. Howard's In both cases all the
stock was in the barn and the doors closed,
but when the families were aroused by the
fires some of the cattle were found out of
doors with the doors apparently fastened as
they were before.
Our report of the fire last week was nee
essarily brief and undereStimated the losses
sustained. Early Monday morning the fam
lily of Mr.. Poland were aroused to find their
barn and stable on fire, and it was so well
underway that they were unable to save
anything and directed their attention to
saving the house. AS stated above part of
the stock had been liberated, but the barn
door was still closed and fastened. In the
barn were 10 head of cattle, 3 horses,4 hogs,
90 tons of hay, 10 tons of straw, 100 tons Of
ensilage,3. wagons, and all the farming tools
of large and up-to-date farm. The loss is
estimated at not less than $1,000 and there
was but $3.50 insurance.
Mr.. Poland was in the city Tuesday and
we obtained the foregoing facts from him,
Sheriff Norton is Investigating the matter.
At the fire inquest held by the town Off
GERS Nov. 18th, at Deputy Sheriff W. A.
Poland's, the entire loss on Darn, shed, and
contents was adiudged to be $3.50. The in
surance was $3.50 on the burned buildings
and 800 on the hay Truly serious loss
for a farmer, but it is hoped that Mr.
Poland will rebuild, as the farm is one of
the best and most productive in town.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

As there was no business to come before
the meeting of the B. Il. S. Literary Club
last Friday evening, aftek the announcement
OF the program for the next meeting the
evenings entertainment was begun. Miss
| Evelyn T. Morrison read an amusing story
entitled "Seraphena," and was followed by
| Messrs. Talbot and Webber in banjo and
harmonica duet In response to hearty
encore Mr.. Weber sang, with the two
instruments as an accompaniment. Mr..
Gould, who was to have given a recitation,
was absent. Miss Chamberlain sang s'Beau-
tltul Dreamer very prettily, and responded
to an encore. Miss Ethel French recited a
short poem entitled "Sir Cupid in very
pleasing manner, and Miss Pilsbury read
1.-The lmp's Matinee short story by
Josephine Dodge Daskam. Miss Mayo re-
cited Holmes sold Man of the Sea- and
the meeting adjourned after singing several
selections.
If there are in the Belfast High School
those not sufficiently interested in its prog
reSs and advancement to attend the meetings
of the Literary Club, certainly common
decency should prevent them from disturb
ing its proceedings. We hope that those
who participated in last Friday nights

AustraIia,a stony Desert.

The great stony desert of north Aus
ralia was discovered by Captain Sturt.
an Australian explorer, in 1856. 1t
is north of the river Darling and is
about 800 miles long and 100 broad.
consisting of sandy dunes or ridges.
Its want Of trees, except along the
creeks, gives the country a sterile ap-
-pearance. These ridges were probably
formed by the joint effect of winds and
a gradually retiring sea.
According to Captain sturt. these
waters were gradually lost by eyapora-
ton or carried to some undiscovered
sea. The only vegetation, growing scan
tily, are prickly acacias in full bloom,
all of stunted growth. Water is scarce
except in the creeks which are shelter
ed, and this is generally brackish.
Few travellers care to traverse this in
hospita bic desert.

KISSING The HAND.
The Practice Was Instituted by the
Early Roman Rulers.

The Practice Was Instituted by tho
Early Roman Rulers.
The practice of kissing the hands
was Instituted by the early Roman
rulers as q mark Of subjection as much
as one Of respect, and under the first
Cesar the custom was kept up, but
enly for time.
These worthless conceived the idea
that the proper homage due to their
exalted station called for less familiar
modes Of obeisanee, so the privilege
Of kissing the emperors hand was re-
served as a special mark Of condescen-
sion or distinction for officers of high
rank.
No such restriction, however, was
placed on the emperors Themselves,
who, If they wished to confer signal
honor on any Of their subjects, kissed
either the mouths or the eyes Of those
they wished specially to favor, the kiss
generally mdmasing some promotion
or personal satisfaction for some
achievement.
Roman fathers considered the prac-
Gce OF kissing Of so delicate nature
that they never kissed their wives in
the presence of their daughters.
Then, too, only the nearest relatives
were allowed to kiss their kindred Of
the gentler sex on the mouth, for in
those days, as now, kissing was not a
mere arbitrary sign, but it was the
spontaneous language of the affections,
especially that Of love.
Under the Romans if a lover kissed
his beuothed before marriage she In
herited half OF his worldly goods In the
event of his death before the marriage
ceremony, ana e She died her heritage
descended TO her nearest relatives

Among all people the sucking of the
wound has ever been considered the
most effective remedy Of immediate
application for snake bites. In Africa
d cupping instrument is employed in
emergencies of the kind to. draw out
the poisoned blood. The ancients fol-
lowed the same methods, ard when
Cato made his famous expedition
through the serpent infested African
deserts he employed many savage
snake charmers, called '.psylli,' to fol-
low the army. They performed many
mysterious rites over men who We're
bitten. but the efficacy Of their treat
ment appears to have consisted in suck
ing the wounds.
