probation of this magnificent work,
and taken advantage of the wholesale

larity is not to be wondered at when
the subject matter Of the volumes IS
taken into consideration. and the fact
that the work is 50 thoroughly and
beautifully illustrated. No work here
tofore published has had an influence
SO broad. or would do so many people

Oriental COIOrs.

An oriental living in New York freed
his mind about our taste in colors with
a candor which was refreshing if not
agreeable. 1.-The favorite colors here
are pink, sky blue and corn yellow he
said. "All three are hideous. They
have no character, no history. In the
east we love strong colors,' especially
after they have faded into soft, remi-
niscent tones. Our pinks and light
blues and yellows are exquisite, having
originally been strong, rich hues. Look
at this magenta scarf embroidered in
gold which was bought in Damascus.
Is it not delightful? Yet compare 1t
with the magenta silk handkerchief the
Italian woman wears on Sunday. There
is that much difference between your
pinks and blues and ours. The trouble
with you people here is that you can
not stand strong colors. We love them.
You try to manufacture the tones we
wait for time and the warm sun to
make for us. New York Post.

Lives Spent ON the Water.

In Japan thousands are born and die
on boats without ever living on shore.
One of the most interesting features OF
japanese life is the manner of living in
boats and junks, thousands of which
frequent every bay along the coast.
The awkward junks always belong to
the members of one family, and usually
every member of the family, old and
young, lives on board. The smaller
sailboats are very narrow, and the sail
(they never have but one) is placed
very near the stern and extends from
the mast about the same distance in
either direction.
In these boats men and women are
born and die without ever having an
abiding place on shore. They wear but
few clothes except when it rains, when
they put on layers of fringy straw
mats, which give them the appearance
of being matched At night, if in har-
Dor, they bend poles over the boat from
side to side in the shape of a bow,
cover them with this straw and go to
sleep altogether like lot of pigs

Bees as Burglars.

1t appears that the monarchies Of
bees, well governed as they seem to be,
are afflicted nevertheless by organized
criminal classes-sneak thieves and
highway robbers. Some Of these robber
bees go in strong bands to pillage and
are able to storm and sack hive. Aft
er the slaughter they carry all the pro-
visions home. Some colonies Of bees
never work; they live entirely by rob-
berry and murder.
There are also thieves who creep un.
perceived into strange hives to steal
honey. If successful they return after.
ward with hordes of burglar bees,
break open the honey safes and carry
away the contents. But the most curl
GUS fact is that these bees can be arti.
ficially produced, according to Buch'
ner, by feeding the larvae upon honey
mixed with brandy.-London Tit-Bits.

Arctic explorers never tire of telling
how beautifully yellow the waters Of
the northern sea appear. To those who
live on the seashore in temperate and
tropical countries the stories of trav-
elers concerning the yellow waters Of
Greenland and Iceland are taken with
the prOverbial grain of SALT but SCI
entists have declared that the arctic
seas are Yellow, and it was Scores
by who first explained the cause of its
peculiar color. Perceiving that the wa
tiers were of an unusual color, he had
some drawn up and examined it with
his microscope. To his surprise, he
found that the color was due to the
presence of minute animalcules, each
so inconceivably small that single
drop of the water contained upward Of
10000 of the little creatures. At that
rate a pint of the water would show
170,O0O,O0O, each sporting about in his
place without disturbing Or crowding

Don't BE Afraid Of Originality.

Do not be afraid of being original,
even eccentric. Be an independent.
self reliant new man, not just one
more individual in the world. Do not
be a copy of your grandfather, of your
father or of your neighbor. That is
as foolish as for a violet to try to be
like a rose or for daisy to ape sun
flower. Nature has given each pc
culiar equipment for its purpose.
Every man is born to do certain
work in an original way. If ne tries
to copy some other man or to do some
other r4an's work he will be an abor-
ton, a miSfit, failure
Do not initiate even your heroes.
Scores of young clergymen attempted
to make their regulations by initiating
Beecher. They copied his voice and
conversation and initiated his GEES
lures and habits, but they fell as far
short Of the great mans power as the
chrome falls short of the masterpiece.
Where are those hundreds of imita-
tors now? Not one of them has ever
made any stir in the world-Orison

Only Medals For Bravery.

In the Japanese army men are not
promoted for distinguished conduct on
the field and officers do not assume the
rank of superior officer who may be
killed. By distinguishing themselves
they gain nothing but decorations. The
Order of the Golden Kite is most COW
eted honor. Every man seeks to obtain
it not only because it carries with it
certain monetary rewards, but for the
honor which it's possession bestows on
the wearer. No officer attains higher
rank except by going through the nee
essary course of study and passing the
examinations. Mere bravery cannot
bring promotion.

Cambridge

Sorting at the warehouse came to a
close on Tuesday when the force of
hands who have been putting up the
packing for O 81 Hanson cleaned up the
last purchase.
In letter received the fore part of
the week, Robe Dow, of Stoughton. in
forms our citizens that they have con-
cluded to lease the Cambridge railroad
to company to be formed here at home
to operate the road, practically accept
ing the terms agreed upon when meet
ing of the directors was held couple of
weeks ago. Mr. Dow wants them to
take the management of the road the
first of the month, which is altogether
too short space of time to organize a
company and assume management No
doubt if proper time is given, a company
can be organized in Cambridge, which
will assume this responsibility, but there
is no probability of any such organiza-
ton being perfected here which will
take hold of the road and run it on such
short notice.
One of the saddest accidents which we
nave chronicled in this vicinity occurred
last Monday afternoon when the little
twelve year old son of Mr. and Mrs Aug
ust Arndt, who reside on part of the
Cook farm IN the town of Oakland, lost
his life by being run over by an old log
land roller. The little boy was sent to
the field to work with fractions team,
and had only gone around the land a
couple of times when the team became
frightened and started on run up the
pri vate road which leads from the town
line road down to the Schiller farm
south of the Town Line creamery. Mr.
Griffin, the buttermaker at the cream
cry, saw the team running away and
came out of the house to stop them
which he did after thay had circled the
creamery. He then went to hunt for
the driver and a few rods down the road
discovered the little fellow, but life was
extinct, he having been dragged couple
of rods by the big, heavy log roller be-
fore it passed over his body. His watch
was found where he was first jolted
from the roller. He was badly bruised
and bad fracture found over his right
temple. The father, who was about the
barn doing chores, was called by Mr.
Griffin and came running down, only to
find the dead body of his son. Frenzied
with grief he picked up the little lifeless
and bleeding form and carried it in his
arms to the house where one of those
sad scenes, which no pen can picture
the father, mother, brothers and sisters
grieving over the tragic death OF one
who but few moments before had left
them happy, innocent child, to assist
in the daily work on the farm.
