Burglars ut Bank

North East was startled Tuesday by the
news that burglars had forced an entrance
into the room in the Abrama building
on Main street occupied by Dirrickson's
private bank and had tried to blow open
the vault with dynamite at an early hour
in the morning. Frank Peach and the
Misses Thompson, who reside never the
bank were reused by the explosion about
8 A. NJ, and looking out the window saw
three men, but as the vault did not yield
to the explosion, the burglars did not
make second attempt but fed.

HABITS OF JAPANESE SAILORS.
Simple Characteristics Of the Mikado's
Fiqhting Men.

Japanese sailors on the mikado's
warships are thus described by Archi-
bald s. Hurd: These sailors of the
far east take things very much as
they find them, with q stoical calm.
They face danger with much the same
spirit with which they take their
pleasure; and in spite of the rapid
strides which civilization has made In
their country their luxuries are rev
and they are contented and happy.
They are devoted to simple sports. to
fencing and to acting; no one can ever
forget the dramatic entertainments on
board Japanese men-of-war who has
been privileged to witness them. Nor
does the memory soon become dim OF
one of these ships when decked out
in gala dress, with chrysanthemums,
cherry blossoms and other blooms typ
ical of Japan enlivening the grim as
pect of the decns. The men are adopts
in the making of imitation paper How
ers, which so closely resemble the
handiwork of nature that at casual
glance one hardly notices the decep-
ton"

Some Pointers About Three Important
Materials.

Character is supposed to he revealed

style of pen which the writer prefers.
A stub pen gives a more decided and
candid air to page than is possible
with a fine. needle-pointed pen, and If

Ink must be always black and the

story is going the rounds regard
ing a farmer who Is greatly troubled
with Observation-Disclosures On the way
home from town. as the story runs,
the thought came to him that he had
forgotten something. He took out his
notebook, went over every item,
checked y III, and saw that he had
made all the purchases he had intend
ed. AS he drove on he could not put
aside the feeling that there was some
thing missing. He took ont his note
book and checked off every item again,
but still found no mistake. He did
this several times, but could not dis
miss the idea that he must have for
gotten something. When he arrived
at home and drove up to the house his
daughter came out to meet him, and,
with look of surprise, asked: why,
where is maw?"

While he was in the office old Eben.
ezer Francis. a man said to be worth
sS,U00.O0O, then the richest man III
New England. came to consult him
about a small claim against some
neighbor. Fletcher interrupted his
consultation with my friend and lis
tened to MIR. Francis story. In those
days parties could not be witnesses
in their own cases. Fletcher advised
his client that, although he had an
excellent case, the evidence at his
command was not sufficient to prove
It, and advised against bringing an
action. Francis, who was quite avari-
cious, left the Office with heavy
heart. When he had gone Fletcher
turned to my friend and said: isn't

In Praise OF the Apple.

The apple is the most democratic
OF all fruits. The pomegranate is
priestly; the grape is royal; the or.
ange is luxurious; the peach and pear
are plutocratic but the apple belongs
to the populace. II is symbolic of the
country store and the corner grocery.
It breathes the free spirit of the Amer.
lean township and village. 1t has a
flavor Of old New England and yet a
pungency as of the South and the mid.
die West. 1t is mild, palatable, nour-
ishing and promotive of good fellow
ship and long life.-Atlanta Journal.

Wild Woman In the Alps.

The discovery Of a wild woman OF
the mountains in the Bernese Alps
Is reported. She was found by an Eng
fish hunter in lonely spot more than
10000 feet above the level of the sea,
starving and very scantily clad. She
tried to escape, and both before and
all persons who approached her. She
talked language which nobody could
understand. Her identity is still a
mystery, though she is supposed to
have been deserted by some band of
rowing gypsies and to have been wan.
dering in the Alps for many months.

Teach Names Of Wild Flowers.

A public museum at Brighton, Eng

should be followed elsewhere. Persons
are encouraged to bring in fresh
lunches of local wild flowers culled
during their walks to one of the Off
Gals, who arranges the specimens
each morning in glass vases contain
ing water and affiyes both the botan-
ical and English name. Thus visitors
are made acquainted with the flowers
which they have seen growing wild
but regarding which they have had no
information.

The Blue Juniata.

Wild roved an Indian girl,
Bright Alfarata,
Where sweep the water
OF the blue Juniata.
Swift as an antelope,
Through the forest going,
Loose were her sctty locks
In waving tresses flowing.
Gay was the mountain song
or bright Alfarata,
Where sweep the waters
OF the blue Juniata.
Strong and true my arrows are
In my painted culver,
Swift goes my light canoe
Adown the rapid river.
Bold Is my warrior good,
The love of Alfarata;
Proud waves his snowy plume
Along the Juniata.
Swift and low he speaks to me.
And then, his war-cry sounding,
Rings his voice in thunder loud,
From height to height resounding.
So sang the Indian girl.
Bright Alfarata,
Where sweep tn" waters
OF the blue Juniata.
Fleeting years have borne away
The voice of llfarata
Still sweeps the river on
Blue Juniata.

Dress for EnQlish Soldiers.

The question Of dress for the sol.
diers is still much discussed through.
out the British empire. The complaint
OF the officers is that regulations are
made so often as to keep them under
constant expense to have clothes that
shall conform to the rules. Some
OF the papers cite cases showing that
this or that detail of dreS, is changed
every two or three weeks, so that a
man no sooner gets his uniform from
the tailor than he must order another
because of some slight change in a
minor detail.
