Deaths Euphemisms.

cannot tell when the custom arose,
but know that it was customary in
New England less than a century ago
to announce a suicide in the list Of
deaths by euphemism-as, ''In this city,
list inst, A. B. suddenly" 1t was so
common that on seeing such a notice
any one would understand at once that
the deceased had taken his own life.
Those were the days when newspapers
understood and respected certain de-
gree of reserve in regard to personal
feeling, whether Of joy or sorrow. In
dividuals had some privacy.
Another euphemism in regard to
death is the phrase, eff anything
should happen" Persons speak Of
making their will or making any def
mite arrangement concerning their pos
sessions, 'In case anything should hap
pen to them" The phrase is almost
invariably used where death is hourly
expected, certain things are to be done
or certain persons called, eff anything
should happen" meaning that one
thing is sure to happen.-Journal Of
American Folk Lore.

THE SENSE OF BEAUTY.
Cultivate 1t by Observing the SIX!
and the Landscape.

Cultivate 1t by Observing the Sky
and the Landscape.
The Oldest and readiest means of cul-
tiyating the sense Of beauty is habituaI
observation Of the heavens, for which
the only things needed are the open
sight of the sky and the observing eye.
The heavens are always declaring "the
glory of God" The noblest poetry Of
all nations celebrates the majesty and
splendor Of the sky. Psalmist, prophet
and artist draw thence their loftiest
teachings. Sun, moon and stars, sun
set and sunrise, clouds tossed and torn
by wind, floating or driving mists and
fogs, snow, rain and the clear blue are
all phenomena of the sky which will
afford endless delights to him who
watches them. The dweller on the
prairie or the sea has the best chance
at the sky, and the dweller in narrow
streets, hemmed in by tall buildings,
has the worst. This obstruction Of the
sight of the sky is one Of the grave
evils which beset a modern urban pop
ulation. City people run about at the
bottom of deep bitches and often can
see only narrow strip Of the heavens.
Fortunately the loftiest structures rear
ed by men are not so high but that a
moderate open area in the midst Of a
closely built city will give a prospect
of large sections of the heavens. This
is one of the great things gained for an
urban population by accessible open
spaces, such as parks, commons,
marshes and reaches or ponds Of wa
ter.
Next to observation of the sky as a
means Of developing the sense of beau
ty comes observation of the landscape,

Mrs. Ellen Chaplin Pease, widow of
Claudius B. Pease of Somers, died in
Chicopee Falls, Mass, Saturday, Oct.
IA, aged 81 years. Mrs. Pease, born
in Hampden, Mass was the daughter
of Sumner Chaplin and Harriet Cady,
daughter of Dea. David Cady, for
many years a deacon in the Congre-
gational church in Somers. Her
home previous to her marriage to Mr..
Pease in June, 1892, was in Hamp-
den, since which time she has lived in
Somers. Mrs. Pease possessed rare
character, unselfish to marked de-
gree. Her life has been one of self
sacrifice, ministering for years to an
invalid step-mother and later to her
husband in his declining years, with
unvariyng faithfulness. Always
thoughtful for others, seeking to
brighten the lives of those shut in
from the outside world, she gained
the love and esteem of all. She was
lover of flowers and was quite skill
ed in botany. Failing in health
shortly after the death of Mr.. Pease,
to be near medical treatment, she
went to the home of her sister in law
in Chicopee Falls, where her death
occurred. Funeral services we're held
on Tuesday in the Congregational
church at Hampden, of which she was
member, Rev. E. P. Root, now
pastor of the Congregational church
in Somers, by special request of the
deceased, officiating. Rev. Mr.. Root
was pastor of the church in Hampden
in her girlhood days. Burial in the
family lot in Hampden.

Darwin gave it as his opinion that
some plants can see, and an Indian
botanist relates some curious incidents
which tend to verify the belief. OBJ
serving one morning that the tendrils
Of a convolvulus on his veranda had
decidedly leaned over toward his leg
as he lay in an attitude of repose, he
tried a series Of experiments with a
long pole, placing it in such position
that the leaves would have to turn
away from the light in order to reach
it. In every case he found that the
tendrils set themselves visibly toward
the pole and in a few hours had twined
themselves closely around it.

A Way Some Women Have.

1 have heard that women are dis
honest in the way Of sending to mil
liners for boxes of hats on approval,
keeping them for a week, and, when
they return them with a note to say
that none suits, the owners find that
each has been worn once, if not sew
eral times, and this fact is betrayed
by innumerable pin holes. l certainly
myself have known women who are
not above sending for clothes on ap-
probation, carefully taking the pat
tern and getting them copied by a
cheaper dressmaker - Lady Henry
Somerset in Black and White.

Some years ago a tame long haired
goat formed part Of the regular crew
Of a passenger steamer on service be-

authorities discovered that it wore
false coat many sizes too large for it.
The goats own hair was clipped very
close. Round it's body were packed
cigars, lace, ETC., and then the false
coat was skillfully put on and fastened

Animals and Flesh Eating.

Arguing against the eating of meat,
an English writer remarks: almost
any animal can be made to eat flesh.
The kangaroo has canine teeth. Horses,
oxen and sheep may be taught to eat
flesh. Norwegian cows have been
known to eat flesh. Goldsmith saw
sheep eat flesh. A carnivor sheep Is
now in London. SpallanZani has
shown that a pigeon may be made to
live on flesh and an eagle on bread"

 Season in PuebIC.

The Noble Dramatic company on Saturday night closed it's summer en- gaEement here and viu leave in a'day or two for Pueblo, where it has been engaged for daily performances for the rest of the summer at MnneqUa park. This park is an amusement enterprise owned by the Colorado Fuel X Iron company and is one Of the chief pleasure resorts of that locality. The Noble company has played summer enga agements there for the last two seasons and is therefore no stranger to the patrons of the place or to the management
 Mir. Nohle last spring decided that | he would prefer to give Phoenix a trial and believed he could make a success of the Hardwick as a summer attraction. To that end he secured a.
 business arrangement with Mir. Hard
 wick and MT. Stechan ana en- deaVored to make t what he still believes it ought to be by reason of it's convenient location, a central at traction during the summer months. But the business of this city in the amusement line is not sufficient to guarantee financial success fer two good summer companies and in the. meantime fattering offers came to him from Pueblo, where he had previously done good business Negotiations were in progress for some time back but it was only during the perform ance of Saturday night that Mir. No bic received a telegram that decided him in his course and he immediately announced 70 the audience that that performance would be the closing or the engagement.
 Mr. Noble still retains his lease on the Hardwick garden and is not yet discouraged concerning his amusement enterprise here He will shortly go 10 Los Angeles 10 confer with Mir. Hardwick having in view the enterprise of plac- ing the Phoenix house on vaudeville circuit. What the result O. these ne- gOtiatiOns will be cannot yet be fore seen but if all goes well Mir.

 Some time ago he was informed br his manager at Magdalena that he had just shipped to him something morp than $1O0,000 iii gold, the recent pro duction of the mine. Without waiting for the arrival Of the gold. Col. Greene declared a dividend of $10O.000 and paid it over tS the few stockholders who were interested in the property. If they had> received no dividened all would have been satisfactory out the fact that they did receive. one filled them with suspicion;l they were not aware that the mine was producing yet though they expected l. to become a producer.
 Col. Greene was asked where this dividend came from. He explained about the shipment which he was e--- pe-tins and when it came it was found that there was SIPS. GOO of gold. St.lI the stockholders were not satisfied. They asked about the place the gold came from. EoI. Greene said that ne
