The He Gossip.

Stockdale Advocate.
Don't you think that an old he
gossip can stir up more stint, in a
respectable community than can
40 polecats in a bunch of sheep.
The female gossip talks over the
back fence just to be talking aud
usually knows of nothing really
harmful even if she wanted to tell
it, prefering to, talk about how
Mrs.-looked Sunday, or how Mrs.
raises her children, but let an
old lie gossip get hold of a rumor
that some lady looked pleasant at
some man, or some such thing,
and he will fix up a scandal that
Newport swell set would envy, roll
it as a sweet morsel under his
tongue, and chase four blocks to
place his venemous poison where it
will do the most harm. The town
knocker is a saint beside the he
gossip.

a book store had a placard in the

A passerby remarked: That.

guys; they work for any old thing
and that keeps wages down. Think

Lightning Conductors.

The efficiency OF lightning conductors
is fairly well attested by the freedom
OF the great eathedrals and tall splred
churches from injury. st. Paul's and
Westminster abbey, for example. are
well protected and serve to safeguard
a large area surrounding them, Expert
ence in the navy is to the same effect.
In former days, before conductors were
employed. there was an annual charge
for damage to his majesty's ships by
lightning. Between 1910 and 1915, ae.
cording to Sir w Snow Harris, thirty
Ave sails of the line and thirty FIVE frig.
ates and smaller vessels were complete

"In village which is suburb OF
New Bedford" said Mark Twain, "a
friend of mine took me to the dedlca-
ton of town hall and pointed out to
me a bronzed, weather beaten old man
over ninety years old. DO you see any
passion in that old man said he to me.
You don't? Well, but can make him
n perfect volcano to you. I'll Just men
ton TO him something very casually
And he did. Well that old man sud
denly gave vent to an outburst such as
I had never heard in my life before. l
listened to him with that delight with
which one listens 10 an artist. The
cause of it was this When that old
man was Il young sailor he came back
from three year cruise and found the
whole town had taken the pledge. He
hadn't, so he was ostraciZed. Finally
he made up his mind he couldn't stand
ostracism any longer, and he went to
the secretary and said, Put my name
down for that temperance society of
yours Next day he left on another
three year cruise 1t was torture to
him to watch his men drinking and he
pledged not to. Finally he got home.
He got jug of liquor ran to the socie-
ty and said, Take my name right off.
1T isn't necessary said the secretary.

Many artists have the reputation Of

In view of the part that electricity

Creeping Salt.

Here is something in the course Of
natural phenomena that will interest
and instruct the little folk If they look
into it curiously: Into a tumbler half

and see how the salt creeps out Of the
water up the inside of the glass and
down the outslde-just like thing OF

when he was asked how in the world
they came to have such a crooked line
between two towns In his county
There's reason for this crooked line
You see. some of our towns establish
ed In pioneer times, when land was
abundant and people were few, had a
big territory. which was afterward
sliced off to make new towns. 1t was
so in the case you mention, and when
the cut off was made people along the
line of division were of different minds
as TO which town they wanted to be IN.
SO the legislature drew a straight line
between the two parts and then pro.
yided that persons dwelling on lands
adjoining either side of this line might
be In one town or the other, as they
should decide within ninety days after
passing the act Some went one way
and some the other, and the line was
all skewed TIP TO accommodate them. =

Tyeho Brahe the famous Danish
mathematician, was known as the
Wizard of the Golden Nose" While
at the university he lost his nose in a
duel and replaced it with a nasal or
gan of gold, held in place by cement
and pair of spectacles. This addi-
ton to his countenance gave him a
very peculiar appearance and caused
him to be much feared by the common
people, who attributed to him many
supernatural powers, largely on ac-
count of his remarkable nose.
