A Sparrow,s aFirst Aid"

An English sparrow carrying material
for nest in the caves over stones drug
store hit against a telephone wire We'd
nes1ay morning, and bird and load fell
to the sidewalk with a thud. The bird
was stunned, but its wings fnttered
and there was feeble effort On its part
to get out of the way OF pedestrians.
A few persons stopped and watched the
exertions Of the injured bird and made
comments on its condition. While they
we're talking another sparrow flew from
somewhere and rested on the telephone
wire which caused its mates undoing.
After surveying the crowd and looking
at the injured bird the other sparrow
dropped from the wire to the one on
the sidewalk With its head perched
to one side the newcomer saw that first
aid to the injured was needed at once
and grabbing the headfeathers Of the
disabled bird in its mouth it tugged
and tugged until the unconscious one
was in the alleyway There the res
cuer kept watch over the rescued until
the latter was revived by aid other than
human, and then both resumed work
on the nest, which was completed dur

WHY NOT A LITTLE MORE eau
TION?


Perhaps the lighting and telephone
companies hold the lives Of their em-
pioyees Of no great consequence, and
like the general on the field of bat
tie, reason that there are plenty Of 9th
ers to take their places. a few weeks
ago Burlington lineman was working
on top Of one Of those poles which
support the wires. The pole broke off
close to the ground and the workman
fell with it, receiving injuries from which
he died after lingering along for few
weeks. Two days ago another accident,
identical in nature, happened in the
same city. Fortunately the lineman
was warned of the condition Of the pole
before he had reached the top by a
cracking sound, preceding the swapping
off Of the rotten timber. Having made
only half ascent, he slipped part way
down and fell the remainder of the
distance. He escaped injury, but only
by the closest margin possible. The pole
was found to be "much decayed" at
the base. These are two illustrations of
what may happen at any time and Of
what IL happening at intervals all too
frequent. a few years ago there was
similar accident in this city, in which
the lineman, although not killed, was
so badly battered that he was unfit for
work for long time, and If we re-
member correctly his suit against the
lighting company for damages is still
pending in the courts. It would seem
that these frequent warnings would
teach the need of caution to the COM
panies which, under the present con.
ditions, use these slender monuments,
commonly called poles. Just a slight
expense Of time and money would deter-
mine whether the poles are in a satis-
factory shape to bear the weight OF
one man or more. II the companies are
not moved BY the motive of humanity,
they ought surely to be touched in their
pocket books through the suits that are
constantly being brought against them.
There would be money saved to them
ii they would from time to time make
an inspection of their poles. Besides,
there is the thing of more Importance,
human life.

road Track.

Rutland, May is. Frank blanchard
Of Sanford, Me, the II years old boy,
who confessed to putting ties on the
Rutland railroad track az Brandon last
week tuesday, and who was brought

bail yesterday afternoon. One OF Blan-
chard's brothers. who lives at Sanford,

home at Sanford
The brother states that for several
years the boy has had commissions dur
ing thunder storms and this was demon

Johnson's Lighting.

A special corporation meeting was
convened Saturday evening, May 10, to
hear the report Of the committee that
was appointed at the annual meeting
TO ascertain the approximate cost of re-
pairing the present electric lighting
plant at Johnson, and of securing the
Ithiel falls power and equipping a
plant at that place.
Enos Sherwin reported for the con,
mittee that $4,000 would repair the
present plant, but that it would not
then be sufficient for low water. The
committee estimate that the Ithiel falls
power could be equipped for 1900 as
the maximum cost.
It was voted to authorize the com.
mittee to purchase or secure by the
terms of corporation the Ithiel falls
powe and to proceed to equipt the same
This makes the corporation debt about
$4,000 At one time the village debt
was $4,000 and in ten years It was re.
dnced to about $4,000.

1t is well enough and good business
sense TO work one Of the pairs Of fire
horses on the streets, but it seems to
be poeE policy to take the team So
far away from the central station that
it would be useless in case of general
alarm. For instance the second pair
Of horses we're half a mile away from
the station when the general alarm was
rung in yesterday. Since the second
pair draws the hook and ladder truck
it Is easy to be seen that the hook and
ladder truck would be OF slight use
after wait of the time necessary to
drive the team from the street work,
hitch to the apparatus and then make
the run TO the scene of the fire. The
value Of that piece of apparatus is large
~ at the beginning OF the fire, perhaps
next to the chemical in Importance
If the horses are to be worked on the
streets, would it not be the better poll
cy to use them on the streets contiguous
to the central fire station and leave
the work farther away for the other
teams employed on street work2

Hints for Marrying.

June is first choice.
In Holland girls prefer to become
blushing brides in May.
About an eighth of Scotch marriages
take place in June.
One-seventh of the Swedish marriages
occur in "the month Of roses"
Germany fayors April, regarding ii
as the first of the spring months.
February is first choice in Italy, espe-
cially the period preceding the begin
ming OF Lent
Russia's favorite marriage month is
January. So marriage, ike death, has
all seasons for its own.
