of the Cooperstown Courier in

members of the commission is

conclusively proves that great

The following from the Crystal
Call says the Milton Globe is
only q sample of farce comedy
known as the weights and meas
ure law: Last week the state
scale tester was at Crystal and
collected his fees. Tuesday Fair
banks. Morse Co.'s represent
alive came along and examined
the scale at the state elevator.
He found that the scale had sag.
ged on one corner, and would
bind. At this point it required
so pounds to move the scale. If
q load Of grain was drawn onto
the scale and the weights put on
afterwards, the load would
weigh so pounds more than it
should. BY testing the weights
he found three Of them incor-
rect, some too heavy and some
too light. The Fairbank, Morse
Co. representative had the scales
repaired and put in first-class
condition before he left. The
state inspector did not discover
anything wrong with either the
scales or weights aud passed
them as correct.

the tide cast up the fish, and on the
hills and in the valleys where the beast

the traveller reposes on the grass? What
right have mortals to parade these
things on their legs again, with their

that they shall return to dust again, to

The TERM "lpIoT.D
N the Original Greek 1t simply
Meant n Private Person.


Meant Private Person.
The word idiot is itself of interesting
eistory. Its primary Greek significance
was that of private as distinguished
from a public person. Our words
dion, idlosyncrasy, etc, are from the
same root. The idiot In Greek was sim
ply one not engaged in public affairs.
The beginnings of the degradation of
the word are shown in its application
soon to the common people as distin-
gulshed from the upper classes. 1t was
then applied to unprofessional and lay
people and soon became the slurring
Mile of the unskillfuI and awkward.
By slow degrees 1t became applicable
10 the stupid and at last TO the imbe-
ellie and idiot. AS late as the sixteenth
and seventeenth centuries the word
was still used in its earlier senses. This
long sad history speaks indirectly of
the pathetic history Of the imbecile If
he was not killed or starved to death
by neglect, ETC., be was usually reduced
to the condition of a beast either about
the house or fields or was actually

In caves, among wild animals, etc. In
1893 Itard took wild boy" found in
the forests of Aveyron and tried to
leach him. The ability of the wild
boys and wolf children to live and the
number that did so shows that idiocy,
as we have later learned, is of all de
grees and that a mind may be various
ly defective in some ways, even idiotic,
but In others with capabilities well pre-
served. Blind Tom, the pianist, and
the large number of mathematic idiots
are examples that show how far we
are from understanding the real nature
Of idiocy, and they more than suggest
the partial retention of sound mentality
Of the defective, the possibility of seiz-
Ing upon the one or few normal or even
highly developed faculties and per-
haps bringing others into coordination
with them and to normality The court

fectives, and they truly lived upon

THE VALUE OF oPALs.
1t Mainly Depends the CoIors

shown In the Stones.
Veins of Opals are usually met with
In soft formations where nothing above
ground indicates their presence. The
search for them, therefore, often re-
qulres considerable time But it is not
extremely difficult, for opals are gener-
ally found near the surface. Indeed, it
was thought for long time that they
were not to be found as deep as twelve
feet below the surface. This opinion
has, however, given way in the light Of
evidence, because opals of great value
have been discovered at depth of fifty
feet
The value Of opals depends upon sew
eral considerations, of which the prin.
cipal one is the color. 1t is important
that they should be bright and not pre-
sent streaks or spots alternating with
uncolored substance The most valua-
BILE are those which have red fires or
mixtures of red and yellow, blue and
green. Opals Of single tint are of lit
tie value unless the tint is particularly
striking and the figure beautiful In
deed one of the essential qualities Of
the opal Is the arrangement of the fig
ure, which sets off strikingly the hue of
the stone.
When the figure is quite regular and
distinct it is the more valuable, much
less so when the grain is quite small
and irregular. Sometimes the color APP
pears as single blaze or with figures
regularly spaced. 1t may then be of a
fine ruby red and is much sought after
but oftenest the uniform tint is only
green or reddish and has but little bril-
fancy
The cutting is very important for the
OPAL Thus thick stone will be much
less beautiful than thin stone, which,
on losing part of its volume, loses also
the figure. The foundation tint contrib
utes much to the beauty. 1t ought to
be transparent slightly milky and har-
monte fully with the different refiec-
tions of the opal, which, when it is real
~ beautiful, presents variety of hues
Infinitely pleasing to the eye.-Jewelers'

Cannibalee,
FiddIe-de-dee,
List to tate of the wild South Sea.
a great big chief
Once came to grief
in a way that was almost past belief.
He swallowed up knives
And tortured his wives,
For he seemed to have sixty or seventy
lives,
But never, oh, no,
Pain, sorrow, or blow,
Had given him more than minIte of
woe.
His hurricane will
Is byword still,
For every one chriStened him Terrible
Bill.
He spluttered and spat
Like a tiger cat,
And carried off scalps in his Sunday hat.
His eyes were bright
With a baleful light,
Like a couple Of searchlights out at
night.
And his teeth-great snakes,
How my pen still shakes
When | think how they gobbled up Par
son Blakes.
There came a crew.
With doctor. too,
To that Isle Where medlclne men were
few.
What a fame was his,
For he did great biz.
He mixed up seidlitz and made them
fizz.
| Till the chieftain's eyes
Spoke a loud surprise.
And the doctors clothes were god
disguise.
So he offered him rum
And a great big drum
To give him stuff that would fizzle ana
hum.
| The doctors pride
| Was gratified;
With the chiefs request he soon COM
| piled,
| Who gobbled up ten
| OF the first kind then
Just as "a sort Of specimen
| Then the carbonate lot
| He speedily got,
And after the first they quickly shot.

Still flicker and filter around tho'
