rible accident occurred in Springfield
township. Deputy Sheriff T. j Quail
ly was moving his threshing outfit to
Nels Ramsey's farm, and was assisted
by Thomas G. Haugen, the former
managing the levers and the latter
the steering apparatus. In going
down a hill the draw bar or tongue
broke and the separator crowded onto
the engine, Haugen was crowded for
ward so his head was struck by the
revolving fly wheel and his brains bea-
ten out, causing immediate death.

though he was badly squeezed he es-
capped with three broken ribs.

Foolish Ideas Of American Society

That some English people believe
Americans capable of any sort of
freakish notion under the guise of en-.

In a recent issue Of an English weekly.
The writer, woman, says that an
American friend tells her that "a new
Yankee notion is h crazy social at
which the idea is that everybody and
everything should lNok and act as in.
sanely as might be The costumes.

cording to this chronicler at a recent

In jelly molds, Jam pota or dust pans;
the vegetables In cake baskets, the
blancmange in fire shovel, the ice

were filled with mustard, the jellies

was in a pickle bottle, the sugar in the
salt cellars and the salt In the sugar

have been roasted were boiled, and
salt favored food which Is usually

At Least slowed Kind Heart.

There was worthy Irish member

that request for financial assistance
was never reused. But his checks
had one little drawback-they were
never honored. The shortcoming nat.
urally in time became known, but 1t
did not affect his popularity. A visitor
to the district, hearing of the mem.
ber's popularity, asked leading poll.

Proper Weiuht or Children,

In children at the growing period"
we are assured by recent medical
writer weight is quite thu most impor-
tant indication of genera! health that
we can have. The importance of keep
ing careful and systematic record
Of weight at this time canint be ex.
aggerated. Snch observatioiA. taken,
say, at intervals of two weeks apart
for several years, are OF great value
to the physician in furnishing ib'orma
ton regarding the child's real eondi'
ton of health. A growing child the
writer goes on to say, should weigh
at 5, about a pound for every inch nj
its height and after this the increase
should be about two pounds per inch
of growth. or little more. When
weight exceeds this it is rather sign
of good health than otherwise.

Ny Bud.

One day the Gardener gave me,
A fair and only child.
He gave IT to my keeping.
To cherish undefled:
1t lay upon my bosom.
1t was my hope. my pride.
Perhaps II was an idol
Which | must be denied.
Fear Tot." methouRht He whispered
"Thy cvd shall be restored.
! take II but to plant II
In the garden of the Lord"
Then bid me not to sorrow
As those who. hopeless. weep,
For He who gave hath taken,
And He who took can keep
For just as 1t was opening
In glory to the day,
Came down the Heavenly Gardener
And took my bud away.
Ye. not In wrath He took Il,
smile was on His face,
And tenderiy aud kindly
He bore 1t to It's place
And night and morn together,
BY the open gate of prayer,
I'll go unto my darling
And sit beside her there;
l know twill open for me.
Poor sinner though | be-
For His dear sake who keeps IL,
Who keeps my bud for me.

Component Parts Of an Atom.

The atomic theory has been aban.
doned by all; the atom Is known posi-.
lively to be decomposable. 1t is tho
number of its corpuscles, or ions, that
determines the character of the atom.
An atom made up of 700 corpuscles
Is hydrogen atom; one of IL 200 cor
puscles is oxygen, etc. But what are
the corpuscles? Sir William Crookes
points out that in 1875 that daring
spirit, William Kingdom Clifford, ad'
vancing upon some vague specula-
tons of Faraday and Sir William
Thomson (now Lord Kelvin. wrote
definitely: There is great reason to
believe that every material atom car
ries upon 1t a small electric current
II It does not wholly consist of this
current"

Profanity Was the Dukes.

Archbishop Howley, who lived in the
eighteenth century, most unjustly got
the reputation Of swearing like a
trooper. The explanation is that the
Duke of Cumberland who fought the
battle of Culloden and who was un.
spsakably profane, once went in quest
of the primate to get his assistance
about certain bill which he disliked.
He returned to the house of lords,
saying. ITS all right my lords. I've
seen the archbishop and he says he'll
see the promoters to - before he'll
vote for the - bill" AS a matter
of fact all the adjectives had been
supplied quite in the ordinary run Of
conversation of the Duke. \

For the sake of the dear old times, dear.
Let US meet as we used to do;
Let us wander across the meadows.
Where the skies are always blue,
Let us meet IN the soft sweet twilight

Let us talk and sigh as we used to.
For the sake of the good old times.
For the sake of the dear old times. dear.
Let us wander away and away,
Let us count not the hours feeting,
But let love have all time In Its sway;
Let us meet where the birds are sing

Where nature whispers its rhymes.
And where all the world Is music
For the sake of the good old times.
For the sake of the dear old times, dear
Let me tell the old story to you,
The same that I'm always telling.
The same that will ever be true;
Come give me the same sweet answer
In voice like those silvery chimes
That down In my dear heart echo,
For the sake of the good old times.

French engineers have declared II 10

Town Children In the Country.


From London come amusing reports
of the impressions Of poor children
taken to the country for holidays by
philanthropic associations. One little
girl, who was spending few days In
the country, wrote home that 1t was
pretty and green and cool. but 1.-The
flowers amt as nice as the ones on
the hats in Commercial road" The
most picturesque comments are those
that touch on the workings OF nature,
like that of little girl who explained
the phenomenon of the wind blowing
all the time by pointing fOrefnger
along a neighboring ridge and saying:
