A fatal ARRAY occurred at Sandy
Ford, IN the Second Ward, during
the primary election last Tuesday.
Calvin Sharp was fighting with
Walter Allison, when Matthew
Perry attempted to separate them.
John Hugh Sharp, who is Calyin's
cousin, came up behind Perry and
stabbed him in the left shoulder
near the neck, either severing one
of the main arteries or stiking the.
spinal cord. Perry died twenty
minutes after receiving the. wound.
Sheriff Brewster succeeded IN ef-
fecting the arrest OF Sharp last
Wednesday, and he is now in the
Parish Jail, charged with the killing
OF Perry.

One Of the Nightmares Of John Ash
toms Curious Creatures of Zoology
Is the monktish. or sea monk. he being
indebted to both Aldrovandus and Stow
for his account. II the old writer's r
reliable. these monsters were quite
common in the North sea, the British
channel and along the Irish coast up
to the year 1414, when they are said to
have become extinct through the raw
ages Of a plague similar to that which
was affecting men at about the same
time. The superstitious of those days
believed that they were priests or
monks who had been cursed for some
crime and condemned by God to an
endless life beneath the waves.
Slows account Of one caught in 1857

man in all poynts and was kept in the
castle at oxford by the keeper thereof.
ALI manner of raw meats he did gladly

AcrObatfc Soldiers.

Clever and skillful is a feat which is
frequently performed by Italian sol
diers. Foreigners generally suppose
that it forms part of their drill. as they
eve perform it except when they are
In uniform. but it is really one Of a
series Of gymnastic exercises which
Italian soldiers have for many years
been accustomed to practice after their
regular drill is over. The feat consists
in piercing an object with the point of
a sword while the swordsman is in a
most abnormal position. That it is not
easy to do this can readily be mag
ined. Indeed a soldier must practice
steadily for months before he can feel
sure Of reaching the mark. Whether
the skill which he thus acquires will
ever be Of any practical use to him is
doubtful; but. as it is rather a pastime
than a military exercise. the soldiers
never think of asking themselves this
question.

The best way to feed corn to young
chickens is cracked or crushed.
A good dust bath will go far toward
keeping fowls in good condition.
Clear, raw corr meal wet with water
is not a good feed for young ducklings
at any time. q
Destroy the nest of a sitting hen as
oon as the chickens are n day old.
Give her a new nest and burn the old
one.
Separated early and raised up by
themselves, pullets are worth at least
% per cent more for use than IL al
lowed to run with a lot of cockerels.
On the farm If more than one breed
is kept it is necessary that they be
kept separate, and n or the other
must be kept confined part of the time.
1t is important TO keep the young
turkeys dry until they are about eight
weeks old. and even then they should
be strong and well developed. Damp
ness is almost always fatal to young
turkeys.

SAFE OPENING o
Implements of which Burglars New
err Even Get n Glimpse.

Implements of which Burglars Nev-
err Even Get n Glimpse.
"We have tools for opening safes"
said the foreman of the machine room
Of a safe factory. that no burglar
could initiate even If he got them. But
1t would be one Of the most difficult
things in the world for him to get even
a sight Of them. The tool DOT II
guarded as closely as a bank vault A
Waterman stays In it all night. We are
very careful about employing our men.
They must give bonds and have the
best OF references. The chance OF a
burglar getting into u employ for the
purpose Of learning our methods is
scarcely worth thinking about.
every frequently we have hurry calls
for a man to open a safe where the
time clock has gone askew or where the
clerk has forgotten the combination.
You can readily imagine that with a
bank or trust company II is an essen
tial thing to have the safe open before
business begins. When we send a
man out he takes a wagon load OF tools,
for he must open the safe without ruin
ing the lock, and he does not know pre-
cisely what the trouble is. He carries
a photograph of himself with our Gre
dentials on 1t. Nor will he open the
safe while alone. Some bank official
must remain with him, no matter nov
long the job takes. That is for our own
protection. Some very queer alleged
robberies have been charged to men
sent out to open safes.
ITO mechanics in IN business II IL
laughable to read that a full kit OF bur-
glars tools has been found beside a
safe. AS l have said. II would require
a express wagon to carry them, and
burglars don't work that way. II they
care to take chances by blowing up a
safe with dynamite II is another mat
ter; but those fellows nearly always
get caught.
"a police officer told me that burglars
make their own tools. The big crooks
are all spotted and are afraid to go out
and buy the material for them. Some
of them send their wives and children"

A SLEEP FANTASY.
The Confusion and Absurditfes ChIt
Come to Us In Dreams.

XMG CONFUSION ana ADSuFQ1r1e0 Tn1U
Come to Us In
If you would know what stuff dreams
are made of, read the following de-
scriptlon of a sleep fantasy from f.
Marion Crawford's novel, "Cecelia:"
Sometimes in meanderlng through a
maze of absurdities in which we feel
as madmen must, believing ourselves
to be others than ourselves.
Conceiving the laws of nature to be
reversed for our advantage or u ruin,
seeing right as wrong and wrong as
right in the pathetic innocence Of the
idiot or the senseiess rage of b ma
MAC, convinced beyond all argument
that the absolutely impossible is hap
pening before u eyes, yet never in
the least astonished by any wonders,
though subject to terrorS we never feel
when we are awake. Has no one even
understood that confused dreaming
must be exactly like h mental state
Of the insane? Inanimate things turn
into living creatures, the chat we sit
on becomes a horse, the armchair Is
turned into a wild beast, and we ride
a-hunting through endless drawing
rooms, which are full Of trees and un-
~dergrowth, till the trees are suddenly
turned into people, who dance and
laugh at US because we have come to
the ball In attire 80 exceedingly scanty
that we wonder how the servants could
have let us in.

Stone That Bends.

"Firm as a rock" "unbending as
flint" are phrases often used; but, as
a matter of fact. there is a sort of stone
that is as flexible as wooden fiber. 1t
is Of course very rare, and the few
specimens known are now in museums.
One of the finest is in the Hartley in
stitution, in Southampton, England,
having been found neal Delhi. India.
1t is lathlike in shape. about an inch
thick and two feet long. 1t is a partic-
ularly flexible specimen and can with
the hands be curved several inches
from the HORIZONTAL; otherwise it is
hard and mineral-like, having the grain
Of ordinary gray sandstone.

No ReptiIes In Newfoundland.

Every body knows that there are no
snakes in ireland. but very few know
that Newfoundland is just like Ireland
in that respect. and there is no record
that Newfoundland had a ST. Patrick
to drive the snakes off either. There
Is plenty of game in Newfoundland,
but not a reptile of any kind-snake.
toad, frog, lizard or even turtle. An
other queer thing about the province is
that while some wild animals are
abundant there no one ever saw a
squirrel, porcupine. mouse or lynx any
where within its boundaries. This is
all the more singular because the adj
joining provinces OF Nova Scotia and
Cape Breton have all these animals
and many kinds OF snakes and other
reptiles.

Religious Training of Japanese.

Little or no importance Is attached
to the religious training of Japanese
children. Whether the parents he
Buddhists or Shintoists II matters not.
for in either case the children rarely
take any part In the religious life OF
their parents or elders, and indeed
usually grow up in blissful Ignorance
as to what it is all about. True, they
may occasionally be taken to the tenn
pie and taught to rub their palms to-
gether, clap thrice and incline their
heads toward the shrine as they toss
their Offering of rim through the wood
en- grating of the huge money till.
They may have some vague notion
that there is something meritorious in
all this, but nothing more, although
every Japanese home has a latticed
niche, or k%amidana, dedicated TO the
service of the household Lares and
Females. or Daikoku and Ebisu as they
appear in Japan.
