One of the growing customs among
fraternal orders has been the setting
apart one day in each year for the hold
ing Of services in memory Of their dead
and Of visiting their graves.
The Oddfellows observe the beautiful
custom and each year call the name Of
the departed members and decorate the
graves.
There were about eighty Oddfellows
and Daughters of Rebekah present in
their hall Sunday afternoon together
with many invited guests who listened
to fine address appropriate to the coca
sion by Rev F. T. Porter, after which
the two cemeteries in the city were visit.

The Lighting situation.

The floods of last week made bad
work for the electric light companies and
they were put to large expense in saving
their plants from destruction. The Spen-
Ger Light Co. was put out Of commission
entirely but the Citizens Co. were able to
supply light and power. They will. how
ever. be obliged to close down for day
or two after tonight in order 10 give their
power house and water wheels an oyer
hauling and cleaning up.
The Spencer Co expect to 60 into SER
vice again tonight Their plant at Smyr-
ma and water wheels suffered greatly by
back water, leaving tons Of mud and de-
bris which caused much damage and ex-
pense in removal The breaking of their
dam at Klddvllle which was used as a
reserve water supply when necessary,
deprives them of that source OF power
and they say that consumers OF lights
must be extremely careful about using
them more than is actually necessary or
the company will be obliged to cut them
off Many people are apt to leave lights
burning where there is no necessity for
it, all night, all day and in rooms when
not needed. A little caution and judg-
ment in the use of lights will assist very
much in giving better service.

BEAGLE HAD HoMlNG INSTINCT.
Travelled Long Distance to Reach His
Former Master.

County Commissioner Henry p.
Mann of Baltimore county. who lives
al Orangeville, near Baltimore, Is
credited with telling the following
story of the return OF a beagle hound
to Orangeville, from Kent county:
about three years ago | gave away
a beagle hound, which was taken to
Kent county. One night recently |
and my family were amazed to see
the dog walk into our home and take
position near the stove, 1t was very
cold and hungry.
IL cannot account for how the dog
got here unless II crossed the bay
from Rock Hall to Baltimore county
and walked thence to my home. The
dog had frequently hunted in the por-
ton of the county through which 1t
had to pass, If 1t came all the way
from the bay shore.
This is no more remarkable than
a homing pigeon flying 500 miles
back to his home. Sun.

Ancient Canadian Castles.

To Americans castles are associated
with the storied Rhine, picturesque
England or France and Spain, but 1t
is interesting to be reminded by the
st. John Up. 4. ID News that there
are a number of ancient Canadian
castles still existing the chief ones
being ST. Ours, Rimoush, st. Eus-
tache, Lotbiniere, Monticello, Ste.
Marie de la Beance, Vaudreil, Rou-
Vile, and, most interesting of all. the
Chateau de Ramezay at Montreal.
The latter was built In 1865 by Ger
trude de Ramezay, at that time gov
ernor of the district of Montreal and
knight of the Royal and Military Or
der of St Louis. From him was de-
scended the last French governor OF
Quebec, at the time of the capituls-
ton In 1859.

After school Closes Then what

One week more and school will be out,
and the parents will be face to face with
the problem of what to do with the boys

main point is to keep both we'll employed.
Lay out course of work for each and
see that it is followed. Hold them re-
sponsibe for the careful and punctual
performance of this work This is the
formative period for both boys and girls
and it is essential that they get habits Of
industry, thrift, independence and self
reliance, Those who have no employ
ment get habits Of Incidence, selfshness
and dependence upon others and run a
chance Of being worthless, vicious and
criminal. The boy who has employment
during vacation which throws RESPONSE
bilities upon him is the boy who masters
his lessons in school and wins laurels in
the battle of life. Good, honest work
makes boys manly, while life of idle
ness makes loafers, store box whittlers,
grumblers, kickers, tramps, buns, an
archists and enemies to society The
girls who are kept busy during vacation
are the ones who are bright energetic,
happy and clean minded students, often
winning honors in their classes. The So
luton of the vacation problem is up to the
parents. Give both boys and girls en-
ployment if you would make them good

How Brown Bears Catch Salmon.

Alaska's brown bears near the Der.
ing sea live largely on salmon and
are extraordinary fishers. Before be
ginning to fish they always place
themselves on the downward side Of
the river. "They seem to smell the
salmon by some extraordinary
means" says a hunter, "and then be-
gin dashing In and out of the river
at some shallow place, rarely failing
to catch fish They bring ii out on
the bank and devour 1t, If possible
selecting some thick patches of
bushes and grass in which to make
their meal, which does not take them
long"
