THE LIBERTY CAP.
Ifa Significance Dntes Away Back 10
EnrIy Greek Times.

From very carly times one Of tie dis
tinguishing marks Of slave. both IN
Greece aud oriental countries general.
ly, was the lack Of any covering for
the head Accordingly the cap came to
be considered the insignia Of liberty,
and Wien slaves were given their free
dom they we're presented with cap as
an emblem of IT, In Sparta tie helots
wore a cap Of dogskin, and this was
reekoned badge Of servitude. but
upon gaining their freedom this vas
replaced by a cap Of a different ma
terial, Of another shape and ornament
ed with flowers. A similar custom
was observed in Rome, where the pres
entation of the pileus. or cap, was al.
ways a part Of the ceremony Of manu-
mtting a slave; hence arose the prov
erb, "Seryos ad pileum yocare." Also
on medals the cap Is the symbol Of lib
erty and is usually represented as be

the case of the conspiracy against Cae-
sar. it was intended as public inyi-
tation to them to embrace the liberty
that was offered them. The Goddess
of Liberty on Mount Ayentime was
represented as holding cap in her
hand as a symbol Of freedom. The
Jacoblns wore a red cap during the
French revolution. and in England
blue cap with a white border is used
as a symbol of liberty. The custom
which prevails among university stu
dents of wearing a cap is said to have
had its origin in wish to signify that
the wearers had acquired full liberty

Bounds IF Cemetery LIT
E,fnhIi-Ilrd.

In coLutc iou With Frauces Lowe and
NJ. l.. Parsons, adj lining property own
ers, the selectmen have recently had
survey made of the cemetery lot on
Parkman Hill, owned by the town, aud
caused suitable markers to be placed at
the LOT corners. This lot contains slight
ly over twenty acres l. was purch ased
by the town, of Lednder pooler ia 1871
for $500 Those who recall something
about the transaction say that the pur-
chase was made because at the time il
did not seem likely that land adjoining
the South Cemetery could be bought to
enlarge it much beyond the area that il
then occupied. Some years afterward,
however, the town was able to buy
quite large tract adjoining the South
Cemetery on the west, extending the
limits to Mcclellan street. For this
reason it has never been necessary to
utilize the Parkman Hi, lot for GENE
terry purposes. While lots in the south
Cemetery are being taken up quite
rapidly it seems probable that it will ue
sufficient for the needs of the town for
twenty years.
When the Parkman Hill lot was pur
chased in 1871 it was largely cleared
land with here and there a clump of
pines Three fourths of the land is now
covered with pine and they are of such
size and are growing 30 rapidly that the
value of the lot with the growing tim Der
is judged to be twice what the town
originally paid The trees stand SO
thick and the roots ill the ground TO
such an extent that ii seems to make
the use of the land for burial purposes
impracticable. on account of the difficult
ty which would be encountered in max
ing excavations. Even if the land was
cleared at once it is said that it would
take 40 to 60 years for the roots to de
cay and leave the ground suitable for
the purpose.
The land is to the north and near the
road over Parkman Hill, not far from
! the residence of w. Scott Parkman Ii
is beautifully situated with an outlook
up and down the Kennebec valley. SO
far as location and natural beauty are
concerned it would be admirably adapt
ed for the purpose for which it was
originally intended.

One Eyed Giants.

Sir John Vaudeville saw all sorts of
queer things and wrote about them in
his celebrated book of travels. 1t was
in 1886 that the yeracious John visited
a certain group of isles (yles he called
them) which was inhabited by race
of one eyed giants. OF them he says:
'In one of these yles ben folk Of CRATE
stature, as giantes, and they been hide
GUS for to loke upon. An thei han but
on eye, and that Is in ye middyl of ye
front" He also tells of another one of
these "yles" inhabited by a race Of one
legged dwarfs, each having three eyes.

Needles are all made by machinery.
The piece Of mechanism by which the
needle is manufactured takes the rough
steel wire. cuts it into proper lengths,
files the point, 1attens the head, perces
the eye. then sharpens the tiny iustru
ment and gives it that polish familiar
to the purchaser. There is also a ma
chine by which needles are counted
and placed in the papers In which they
are sold. these being afterward folded

Municipal Court.

Captain Walter Brooks OF the Skowhe-
gan salvation Army WAS the defendant
in proceedings at the Skowhegan Num-
cipal Court Monday morning. He had
been arrested on complaint of Fred E.
rripp, the charge being assault and bat
terry. The complainant alleged that
Captain Brooks, on the evening of Sep
tember 10 h, without cause, attempted
to eject him from the Salvation Army
hall, where services were being held.
From the defense it appeared that Mr..
Trip did not rise when the audience
was requested to do 30 during a song
service and, upon being specially re-
quested to conform to the custom OF the
meeting in this respect, refused to do
so. Captain Brooks claims he notified
him that he must comply with the GUS
tom OF the place 10 this particular and
that, as he refused to do so, be WAS war
rsnted in his attempt to remove him
from the hall.
After hearing the evidence presented,
Judge Bachelor rendered a verdict OF
not guilty, taking the ground that any
one attending the meetings Of the Saliva
ton Army must conform to the rules
established by that organic alton.

TIMBER PRESERVATION.
The Most Perfect Method Is Also the
Most EApenaIve.


Most Expensive.
Telephone poles nearly always decay
at or Just below the ground line. The
upper portion Of the pole, permanently
In the air, rapidly drying after rain, is
practically always dry and is rarely
found decayed The butt Of the pole,
deeply buried IN the ground, is in a
permanently damp condition, but oxy-
gen being excluded il is seldom badly
affected. Close to the ground line the
soil retains the moisture and keeps the
wood constantly damp where il is eX-
posed to the air and to the heat Of the
sun which IS just what its little vege-
table enemies like. but If the albumen
in the wood can be rendered unfit for
food the wood tissues offer practically
no support to fungi. Timber preserva-
ton amounts. then. to poisoning the
food supply Of the destructive agencies.
Preservation of timber is attempted
in three ways-by seasoning, either
natural or artificial; by outward me
chanical means, such as charring IL fire
or the applications Of antisepticS on the
surface of the stick, and by impreg-
mating the wood with antiseptics. OF
these the last is by far the most i'm
portant. The most perfect method
which is also the most expensive-is
the injection of dead oil of coal tar In
to the whole fiber of the pole.-Hart-

Six Hundred Year. without a Doctor.

According to Pliny. Rome tiourished
for 600 years without q doctor. 1t is
maintained by some. however, that
when making this statement Pliny was
not aware that certain Greek physi-
clans resided in Rome at least during
a part of the period named. But there
is certainly no question that in the
early days of its history physicians
were very scarce in Rome and doubt
less because there WAS little occasion
for their services. With the advance
of civilization maladies have multi
piled, and with the increase of disease
there has been proportionate increase
of physicians.

A Child Wonder,

The French Academy of Sciences In
1929 examined the case of u French
lad only seven years old who, in all
respects save that Of intelligence was
the equal of man of twenty His re-
markable physical development began
when he was two years old. At four
he could do the farm work of a boy of
fifteen or sixteen, and at seven he was
n fully grown man. Although his
physique was thus remarkably deyel-
oped, his intelligence was no greater
than that of children of the same age.
He died before he was twenty. As is
usual in such cases of premature de
velopment, his strength faded away
and he became prematurely old before
other men would attain maturity.

Ther Lnve Dante.

A magnificent upper chamber Of the
municipal palace Che Palazzo Vecchio)
In Florence is set apart in memory Of
the great poet Dante. To it each of the
sixty nine provinces and all of the lar
ger cities and towns of united Italy
have contributed a banner in his hon
or. There are over 300 Of these ban
ners in all and the donors, in eager
emulation, have tried TO make each Of
fering more beautiful than the others.
The banners are of the differing colors
of the provinces and bear their arms in
exquisite embroidery or IN paintings
by the first living artists. The fervor
of the homage paid here to the immor-
tai Italian poet stirs the heart Of even
the passing stranger. Whatever the
tealousies or estrangement of these
people, beside his tomb they are united.

The First of Them Was Esta bIished
In Paris In 1765.
For a long time inns and eating
houses in France were only intended
for the benefit of travelling people, for
the people took their meals at home
and restaurants were unknown. The
first enterprise of the kind was found
ed in Paris in 1865. A citizen by the
name of Boulanger opened in the Rue
des Poulies an eating house where
soup, meat, fowl and eggs were sery-
ed A chronicler relates that meals
were served there on small. round
marble tables and everything was scru-
pulously clean.
Over the entry to this first eating
upon which were the Latin words, We
mite ad me omnes quae stomacho labo-
rats, ct ego restaurabo vos' Come
unto me all we whose stOmachs need
attention, and l will restore them.
This is a parody on the we'll known
Biblical quotation, Come unto me all
We who labor and are heavy laden and
l will give you rest" only in place Of
labor and heavy laden he said, whose
stomachs need attention" The word
"restaurabo," from the Latin ''restau-
rare" (restore or refresh). was the
main characteristic of the new estab-
lishment and gave 1t its name. Bou-
langer amassed large fortune. for
his enterprise proved eminently sue
cessful, but he was soon initiated, some
of his imitators becoming more famous
than be.
