Every public school has its own Pc
culiar customs and slang, but Eton
seems to be particularly well supplied
in this respect. At Harrow it is or used
to be the height of cheek for boy to
turn up his trousers till he had been
three years in the school. At Eton 1t Is
lust the other way, and it is part or the
school etiquette for boy to turn up
his trousers, to keep the bottom OF his
waistcoat unbuttoned and if he mas
need to use an umbrella never to roll II
up. .

common to other schools. but most OF II

How the Armada Fought.

The Spanish officers behaved with
the desperate heroism which became
the countrymen of Cortes and Santa
Cruz. and never did Spanish soldier or
seaman distinguish himself more than
on this tremendous day. There was no
finching, though the blood was seen
streaming out of the scuppers. Priests
went up and down under the hottest
fire, crucifix in hand. confessing and
absolving the dying.
But the engagement from the first
preserved the same character which
had been seen in those which had pre-
ceded it. The Spaniards' courage was
useless to them. Their ships could not
turn or sail. their guns were crushed
by the superior strength of the English
artillery, they We're outmatched in
practical skill, and, close as the ships
were to one another. they could not
once succeed in fixing a graphing iron
in an English rigging. Thus, while
their own losses were terrible, they
could inflict but little in return. They
had endured for five hours to be torn
TO pieces by cannon shot. and that was
all.-Spanish Story of the Armada.

Every one will want to read 1.-THE Let
ters from Son to His Self Made Fat herr.
They are the answers to the mos famous
book of the year, "The Letters OF a Self
Made Merchant to His Son" The fathers
letters were wise in their simple puilos-
ophy, keen in native wit and eloquent in
humor. The sons letters in reply are all
that the fathers were, and more, for the
son inherits all the fathers vigor, and
with the training OF a college education
he deftly turns the tables on the old man
in way which should make the fathers
heart glad. The sons letters are among
the best humor of a decade, and the
readers of the Boston Sunday Herald
are assured a rich treat of American
humor. The first letter will appear Sun

A Terrible Revelation.

Nj. Sarcey was at one time very
shortsighted, but successful operation
made him long sighted to an extraor-
dinary degree. This restoration of his
sight was not altogether an unmixed
blessing For the first time since his
childhood he could see things at a dis
tance. His home, that he thought so
fine, was found to be neglected and
dirty; his precious china was Clipped
and cracked; his books were soiled and
torn. But the crowning blow came
when q grand luncheon was given to
celebrate the restoration of the critics
sight Women were invited in great
number and came In their very best.

the Odeon, were represented by their

BLUEHlLL INN SOLD.

Bought by G. s. Truax, of New York,
for Summer Home.
The picturesque Biuehiil inn, in the VIII
lage of BluehilI, which as summer hotel
has had checkered career ever since 1t
was built dozen or so years ago by the
late George H. Slower, has been bought by
Cbauncey s. Truax, welI-known attor-
ney OF New York city.
Mr.. Truax with his family, which con-
sists Of wife and three children, passed

enough to be thrown from his horse, and
break his leg.
This accident, however, did not prevent
him from appreciating the charms OF
Bluehill as summer resort, and finding
the inn property In the market, he opened
negotiations for its purchase, and the
zeal was closed last Wednesday.
The inn is situated on the high ground
on the west side Of the village, overlook
ing the bay and harbor. To the left rises
Bluehill mountain, and in front and to
the right may be seen the magnificent
bills on Mt. Desert Island.
The inn will be used this season In its
present shape, but it is understood that
In the fall 1t will be separated and re-
modelled. 1t now contains on the second
and third floors fifty-two sleeping rooms,
while the fest floor Is divided into
spacious hail, parlor and dining room,
writing room, office, bar Der shop, kitchen,
laundry, etc.
There are four large fireplaces on the
| first floor, and several suites OF sleeping
rooms. The entire building is lighted by
electricity, from a plant built by Mr..
Slower when the house was erected.
1t is handsomely and extensively fur
nished. After his death, the house,
among other property, went to his heirs
and as they had not the same love for the
spot, or interest in its success, it has not
been well patronized, and for the past
three summers has not been opened at all
The coming of Mr.. Tuax to BluehilI as
a permanent summer resident will doubt
less be followed by others equally

Letter to Tinker Bros. ,
ELLSWORTH,

Dear Sirs.: You take interest in your work
and you want every stroke of the brush to do
all that 1t can.
Devoe Lead and Zinc makes every stroke Of
the brush count. Mixed paint wastes fifteen to
eighty per cent, of every stroke-depends upon
the amount of adulteration in the mixed paint.
That's what we mean by ''fewer gallons.
We can't dwell ON every reason for using Devoe
Lead and Zinc. There are too many.
f r. Bowman. Girard, Pa, writes
MIR Burt Young bought one gallon of Devoe
Lead aud Zine IN halves to paint rooms on
which he had always used one gallon of mixed
paint; one. alt gallon of Devoe did the work
and he returned the other half gallon.
Yours truly,

TWO OBLIGING MEN.
Each Was the NictiAn In "a Street Cnr
Fare Transaction.

1t was in Boston street car. When
the car stopped at a crossing, a lady
got up and went to the door. AS she
rose there was the chink of q coin on
one to stop her she was out of the car
and across the street Two ladies who
had sat next to her looked with anx-
ious indifference on the floor. One of
them leaned slightly forward, but said
nothing. Just as the conductor was
reaching for the bell rope a young man
car. He caught the lady who had left
the car, handed her the coin, ran back,
caught the step of the car as the mo-
tors began to sing in crescendo and sat
down breathless. One of the two ladies
opposite him leaned forward and said
coldly, Young man, whatd did you do
with the nickel l dropped?S The pas
sengers Uttered. An old man at the
other end of the car turned to his
neighbor. THAT reminds me-" he said,
"of something that happened to my
wife years ago.
''It was before the days of conduct
ors, when we used to drop our nickels
into slot, and they ran down groove
to the box behind the driver.
"My wife had started out with lit
tie change and one of those trouble
some five dollar goldpieces which used
to be more commonly in circulation
than they are now. Her eyes were not
good, and so she was nervous about
her goldpiece and had it on her mind
all the way downtown.
when she took a car for home, she
met a friend and grew interested in
conversation with her. She put her
coin in the slot absentmindedly. The
driver turned as it struck the box. You
remember the coin fell into q glass
compartment first, and then the driver
pushed a lever which sent it into the
strong box below.
"As my wife heard the click of the
lever she thought of her five dollar
goldpiece. She looked in her purse.
Sure enough, it was gone. She went
forward and spoke to the driver. He
said he hadn't looked very carefully,
but he thought there were only three
nickels in the glass receptacle when he
pushed the lever.
My wife insisted. The driver said
If she would ride to the end of the line
the cashier at the station would open
the box. This meant journey of two
miles beyond our street, and my wife
was i'll a hurry.
IAN old gentleman who sat by the
door said he was going to the end of
the line and offered to give her $4.93
cents and get the goldpiece at the sta
ton. My wife thanked him and took
the money. When she got home, she
found the five dollar goldpiece in the
lining of her purse.
Next day | went to the station. The
cashier said an old gentleman had made
him open the box. There was no gold
piece. The old gentleman had left in
a rage, refusing to give his name. He
said he had been swindled and did not
want to be known for fool.
