GETTING THE NEWS.
Method Adopted at the Outbreak of
the Revolutionary War.


the Revolutionary War.
In contrast to the workings of the
newspaper of the day and of the rap
id transmission of tidings without the
aid of even Il wire to guide the mes
sage is a document printed in the Berk-
shire Courier at the beginning of the
Revolutionary war. But evidently peo-
pie were as eager then as now to hear
the news.
'For the Purpose of getting Speedy
and Certain Intelligence from the
Army at Boston. We the Subscribers
hereby promise and agree to Ride from
this town to birmingham or Sheffield
by Turns so as to bring Intelligence
from thence each Day (the Sabbath eX-
cepted) and to Report the same at the
House Of Mr.. Josiah Smith-And in
Case no regular method is come into
for bringing the News to Said Tyring-
ham we promise to bear our proper
tionable part of the Expense in pro-
curing Intelligence from Springfield
twice in each Week-Witness our
hands this 3rd Day of May 1775."
Following this agreement is a list of
days, with the names of the citizens
who were to be riders. Jacob Van
Deusen, who agreed to be the first
man to ride to birmingham or Sheffield,
was to go for it on Monday, May s,
and Mark Hopkins was to follow on
Wednesday, the service from that time
on alternating, except as to the Sab
bath, which compelled no news in
rerval of two days in the week.

SUPERFICIAL SENTIMENT.
Secret of Power Lies In Intensity OF

Secret of Power Lies In Intensity of

Superficial sentiment is without vital

allure. Feeling and emotion have their
degrees. We are serene when our feel
ings are in the temperate zone, indig-
nant when we pass eighty-three, furi-
Gus when we reach blood heat, mad at
boiling point. When feeling falls be-
low 90 we become Indifferent, and
when it reaches freezing point we are
heartless. An emotion that does not
attain the seyenty-sixth degree is hard
ly worth recording. AT summer heat
the rarest flowers begin to bloom and
nature becomes poetic. While the tenn
perate is the proper sphere for pure
reason and scientific observation, it Is
rarely, if ever, proper for the highest
achievement in any art. In the world
Of art imagination and feeling are not
content with a serenity that touches
the borders Of indifference. Tie crea-
tive instinct is never effective unless
at a certain pitch of enthusiasm. 1t Is
the sharp, clear, brilliant current of
thought that electrifies the brain. But
an idea is worthless unless we can find
a form to hold it. In the best work
idea, form and feeling appear to the
beholder as one. An electric bolt seems
a cold thing, yet stroke of lightning
will consume more at one flash than
an ordinary fire would consume in an
hour.-Francis Grierson in Critic.

Burma Customs.

Two ceremonies in Burma mark when
childhood stops and manhood or wom-
anhood begins. The boys have their
thighs tattooed and the girls their ears
bored. The boring of a girls ears is
commenced with needle, and the
puncture is gradually increased until
the tip Of the finger can be introduced.
The enlarging process is the one car
ried out in the Polynesian islands,
where a native can carry a good sized
knife hanging in the lobe of his ear.
The ugliest mutilation is that of the
Eskimo, who punches a hole in his
cheek and puts bone stud into 1t. The
Burmese boy suffers great pain from

Attempt to Take Life Of a Watertown
Business Man Proves Successful.

WATERFOWL, S. D., July 5.-An
attempt to take the life of J. Carl
SOuthwick, a business man of this city
and former grand chancellor COM
mander of the knights of Pythias of
South Dakota, was made in peculiar
manner.
In the basement of Mr.. Southwick' S
block is a small furnace which is used
exclusively to heat water. In this fur
mace someone put a quantity of black
powder, and when Mr. Southwick at
tempted to start a fire in it he was
seriously injured by the explosion,
which blew the windows out Of the
basement and the plaster off from the
partitions.
Fortunately not one of the many
pieces of flying iron struck him so as
to inf1ict a mortal wound. but the pow
der which blew into his face injured
his eyes severely The motive for the
attempted killing is a mystery, and no
clue to the guilty person has been
found.
