Sabbath Day Lake grange at New
Gloucester. Me-, was dedicated recently
by State Master Gardner. To accom-
plish the ownership Of a new hall a
company was incorporated and stock
sold at $40 per share to defray the ex-
pense. This was disposed of mostly
among the members Of the grange. In
this there is suggestion TO other
oranges having q new building in con-
temptation. The hall is 33 by GO feet
on the outside and cost $1,000. 1t is n
neat and well arranged structure, with
dining hall and kitchen below, while
the upper story contains the main hall
and anterooms. There is fourteen
foot stage, with all the conveniences
necessary for theatrical and other per

mortem examination is held; the in
dications, however, point to poison
ing.
The career of this man, who was
known on three continents for his stu
pendous financial operations, closed
In startling tragedy. Even in his
life, which, with his rise from poverty
to enormous wealth, was full Of dra-
matte incidents, there was nothing
that could compare with the manner
Of his death. All London is thrilled
with the news of it. No such human
tragedy has been enacted in England
for many year.
An examination Of the body, made
at late hour last night, points
strongly 10 the fact that death was due
to poison. The postmortem examina-
ton will be held on Wednesday.

The Abyssinians drop on their knees
and kiss the earth when they meet. In
saluting woman the Mandinkas take
her hand. put II to their nose and smell
it twice. The Egyptians stretch out
one hand. then lay it on their breast
and bow the head. Among the less
civilized tribes of the old world. say
the Kalmucks and in Polynesia. the
custom of rubbing noses is pretty gen.
eral. Perhaps the most extraordinary
form Of salutation is to be found in
Tibet. where the natives put out their
tongues. gnash their teeth and scratch
their ears.

Preacher and ExhOrter.

There was an old darby preacher in
Virginia who would never become or.
dained, but was content to remain just
an exhorter. This seemed rather
strange to some of his congregation,
and one day they asked him about 1t.
"Well, it's dis way" said he. when
you's a preacher, you's gotter have a
tex an stick right close to it, but If
you's only a exhorter you kin branch"

THEY LOVED CHILDREN.
Great Writers Who Won the Hearts
of the Youngsters.


of the Youngsters.
It is one Of the most lovable traits
in many Of our greatest men that they
are as skillful in winning the hearts Of
little children as in captivating the
minds Of their parents.
Was there ever q great man who did
Dot love children? If there was, and
we have never heard or read of him, his
greatness was by so much the less.
Even Sam johnson relaxed his grim
ness into smiles Of pleasure when Bos-
wells baby daughter held out her arms
to him and pulled his hair when he
was not sufficiently attentive to her.
Byron, whose own child life had been
SO saddened and imbittered by love-
less mother, worshiped his little daugh-
ter Ada with all his passionate soul,
and history has no sweeter picture than
that of Southey singing his child to
sleep as he paced the floor with his cit
tie burden Of love- In his arms.
Lambs great heart had many a warm
corner for his child friends-all the
heart, in fact, that his sister Mary did
not fll-and when he took his daily
walk through Edmonton it was the sig
nal for all the little children to flock to
him for kiss, a kind word, or, better
than all, to take his hands or coat tails
and accompany him on his rambles.
1t is little wonder that Charles Dick
ems, 1.-The great hearted one," was idol
lied by the little ones; for there never
was a more entertaining companion or
one who could better make himself
child again. for their delight. There
are many staid men and women Of to-
day who recall with pleasure and re-
gret the romps they used to have with
BOZ" In the famous nursery at Gads-
hill.
Amonk great men Of later days Mr..
Lewis Carroll must be counted liking
of the children's hearts" That soil
tary, lovable mixture Of a man." who
was welded to mathematics and to
children, had few pleasures apart from
one or the other. His study at Christ
church was a perpetual nursery, its
toys and sweets and all that appeals to
q childs heart, and here or on river
picnic, surrounded by swarms Of his
young friends, the mathematical pro-
fessor was always a boy, as full of
fun and as ripe for mischief as the
youngest of his guests. May his rest
be sweet, this chief of children's lovers!
Oliver Wendell Holmes, most anna
BILE of "autocrats," was lifelong lover
of children and could skip back seven
ty years" at moments notice at
child's bidding. Could anything be
sweeter than the letter he wrote ac-
knowledging the photograph of one of
his little girl friends? MAY those
lips" he wrote, "speak what is pure
and true; may those ears hear but
what is good, and may those eyes al
ways Tirror soul as beautiful as
themselves"
