The expected seldom happens.
When the jury in the case of the
Sloane-Paine company versus Sid
Roselhaupt ct al. was drawn yesterday
the attorney were surprised to see ID
men struggling for the II seats. "That
is going to be an unlucky jury" said
Attorney Robinson. "An unlucky case,
unlucky case" repeated all in the
room.
A second calling of the roll did not
relieve matters. Finally it was found
that when the name of Mr.. Peters was
called both Mr.. Peters and Mr.. letters

so unlucky a start, it took the Jury
but five minutes to decide that the

The humane society Of Rutland has
placed good long credit mark to itself
by yesterdays action in serving dinner
to about three hundred poor people col
lected in and about that city And the
society topped off its kindness by pre-.
senting each one of the three hundred
some article Of clothing. There is an
example of properly directed missionary
work, if it may be SO called. It is not
selfish to wish for the betterment or
those Immediately about one, the adj
vocates Of foreign missions to the con.
trary notwithstanding. Ones first duty,
it seems to us, is toward those neighbors
who are less fortunate than ourselves.
If then, after those immediately about
us have been attended to, there is money
and benevolence remaining, the next
duty should be toward the wider circle.
But we confess there is a very large con.
tract on our hands to alleviate, to a
small degree even, the suffering of the
people we are 50 prone to overloolc--the

Feeding Habits of Salmon.

why do salmon take a fly?" asks
Horace G. Hutchinson in his new book
on fishing. "This is question often
asked, the more so as scientists tell
us that salmon do not feed in fresh
water-a statement which, however,
cannot be accepted by anglers. This
is not a scientific treatise on the sub
ject, but we may fairly ask scientists
when we see salmon caught with
worm, prawn or minnow (Which they
often take into their outlets as a
trout will do), what they are doing
with them there? That salmon are
rarely caught with anything in their
'stomachs is quite true, but it may be
that it is only the hungry fish which
take fly or bait, and those whose
stomachs are empty. Or it may be
that the salmon's power of ejecting
food is so great in the struggle to free
himself that he elects everything in
his stomach. Well, then, why does he
take fly? Is it from curiosity? The
fact of catching him with natural bait,
which he is attempting to swallow, is
conclusive evidence that he does feed
in fresh water"

Poultry as Insect Destroyers.

There is one valuable advantage oil
keeping poultry on the farm that is
the vast number Of insects DESTROYED
by them.
If every insect caught by hen ir
a day were counted and an estimate
made of the number of insects eater
by flock of twenty-five hens, il
should show that hens are more use.
full in that respect than may be sup.
posed.
When busily at work scratching, the
hen secures many grubs and worms,
while the larvae Of insects also assist
in providing them with food
A flock Of turkeys will search every
nook and corner OF a field for insects.
and as turkey can consume large
amount of food it will make away with
a vast number OF them each day.
The active guinea is ever on the
search over the fields for insects. 1t
does not scratch, but every blade OF
grass is looked over, and it rarely
comes up to the barnyard to seek food.
It's industry prompts it to secure its
own food, and in so doing hundreds
of insects are destroyed.-Poultry Ad.

Size of an Atom.


How large is an atom? ''Perhaps
the simplest though not the most ,ex-
act way of arriving at rou ugh esti-
mate of the size of atoms is by meas
ur!ng the thickness of soap-bubble
film, where it is as thin as possible
Just before it bursts" says writer.
Such film, if composed of atoms,
must be something like pebble wall.
NOW, pebble wall would not stand
II 1t were not several pebbles thick,
and IL we had reason to suppose that
at was about dozen pebbles thick
we could easily make an estimate OF
the size of pebble by measuring the
thickness of the WALL That is the case
with the thinnest region of SOAP
nlm. 1t is found to have very def
mite and uniform thickness. It is the
thlnnest thing known, and by refined
optical means its thickness can be
accurately measured. 1t must contain
not less than something like dozen
atoms in it's thickness, and yet it is
only about the twenty-milliont CT an
inch in thickness by direct measure
nent; SO that the diameter of an
atom comes out between one two-hun-
dred- millionth and one three-hundred-
m!llionth of an inch. In other words,
from about 200,0OOO0O to 300,000,000
of atoms can lie edge to edge in a
linear inch"

Children's Right to be Heard.

Mrs. M. N. Van Vliet of Chicago has
come out in defense of the child at
home in opposition to the old adage
that child Should be seen, not heard.
Mrs. Van Vliet says child should be
heard as we'll as seen. She asks the
pertinent question, How can child
be expected to be all that an ideal
man and woman should be If for the
first fifteen years of it's life it has
known nothing but repression and
suppression, and it's opinions have
been scorned as of no weight and
value? Mrs Van Vliet argues, and
doubtless argues from correct prin-
ciples, that children have their rights
in the house as well as father and
mother. One of these rights is to be
heard. To be constantly suppressing
the impulse OF. the child to: give ex-
preston to its thoughts retards men
tai development, declares Mrs. Van
Vliet, prevents the cultivation of the
faculty of thinking clearly and speak
ing concisely and t1uently, and De;

which are so essential in the grown

MAGNESiA AS A WEAPON.
More Convenient and as Effective as
Revolver.


a Revolver.
Every man who is out late should
carry a bottle of magnesia water with
him." said Police Captain Burdine the
other day. There is no law against
it, and it is far more effective than a
pistol. 1t isn't concealed weapon,
and is just as deadly, when it is not
used as a medicine.
"Not long ago young fellow whose
business keeps him out late at night
was carrying home with him one OF
these bottles. 1t was in the pocket Of
his raincoat. Head down, he was
breasting the storm, bound for his
home port, when woman rushed out
of the darkness toward his port side.
''She begged for his protection Her
arms were extended, and she was COM
ing at him like football player ready

He side-stepped, and thought of the
bottle just in time to use it as a
burly individual doomed to starboard,

There was just time to hurl the
bottle into the fellows face. 1t ex-
ploded with report that sounded like
bomb. The man, terribly cut and
crying from the pain OF the acid in
his wounds, fed. The woman went
with him.

A hundred gifts in various shapes

pearance; toys, big ones, of course;
pieces of cotton, silk or crepe, invar-

affair If the baby is boy, yes, es-
pecially if it be the first son.
Parties coming with their congratu-

house the very next morning after
the announcement They will bring
dried fish or box of eggs to express
their good wishes, which will be re-
turned in some form Of present when
the baby is two weeks old.
