The state historian of New York in compiling some records brought to light some amendments to laws confirmed at Eye General Court of aSsiZes held in New Yorke, beginning on ye 9th & end Ing on ye Sth day of October, 1670." The following catches the eye:
 "Whereas, divers Complaints have been made of the great abuse of bring ing dead hoggs x Porke into this city & it not being discernible how long they have been Killd by reason they are too often brought frozen, so not ca pablo of being preserved by Salt which tends much to ye disreputacon of that Commodity when sent abroad, and ye Merchants who Export it into Warmer Climates, for ye reasons aforesaid it Is Ordered, That henceforth no hogg or hoggs shall be brought dead to this place either for sale or payment of debts, except it shall be in cask well Salted x Packt according to ye Law, otherwise smoak't or dryed of which all persons are to take Notice, as they will answer ye contrary at their Per rills."

The wreckers of sciIIy.

As far back as the time of Henry I. there were royal grants of "the islands and their wrecks," and fre,Aent was the phrase in centuries following. With royal encouragement, why should they not be wreckers? One Sunday, long ago, in Scilly, service was in progress when there came the cry of "WreckV' The men started from their seats. In moment there would have been a stampede, but they covered back as the minister sternly thundered warn ing. He strode to the door. Again his voice arose. Lets all start fair!' he shouted, throwing off impeding cassocB as he ran, while his congregation la bored at his heels. Most curious of all wrecks was that of a bark, with car go of beads, that went ashore 200 years ago. So generous has been the ocean with this treasure that throughout these two centuries it has intermittent ly been tossing beads ashore. yet so frugally that the supply is not yet ex- hausted, for in a few minutes search I found that some had been thrown there since the last search of the is- landers.-Robert Shackleton in Har- perS.

History on n Watch Face.

Almost the last work of the Belgian astronomer Houzeau was an article in which, while arguing in favor of a dec Imal division of time, he pointed out the origin of the double set of twelve hours represented on our watch and clock faces. The ancient inhabitants of Mesopotamia chose the number 12 as an arithmetical base because 1t has four divsors-viz, 2, 8. 4 and 6, while 10 has only two divisors-viz, 2 and 3. They counted twelve hours In the day and twelve in the night measuring the day by the progress of the sun and the night by the progress of the stars across the sky. This system, prevail ing over all others, has come down to us, and so our watches bear on their faces a souvenir of those ancient days when the sun served for a clock hand half of the time and the stars the other half

 to think that, in a general way, Perfumes that are imported are much better than Ameri- can-made Perfumes.
 This IS not true, how ever, as the highest grade to GoETTING's Perfume Is fuln equal to the very best imported perfumes as far as character, ,naturalness and deicacy of odor are concerned, while in last ing qualities they are jar superior.
 The reason is obvious we do not have to pay the enormous import duty

Rankes and His HOrae.

Animal trainers of the old days led adventurous lives. In 1900 all London was talking of man named Bankes, servant to the Earl of Essex, who had taught his horse to count and perform a number of feats, including mounting to the top of St. Paups cathedral, while ga number of asses" as the historian puts it, 'brayed below" Sir Walter Raleigh in his history says of Bankes that he would have shamed all the enchanters of the world, for whatso- ever was most famous among them could never master or instruct any beast as he did his horse." When Bankes took his horse to Rome both were burned for witchcraft.

 "It is just as true to-day as it was in the time of the Romans, of whom Shakespeare wrote, that the fault is not in our stars but in ourselves, if we are underlings.

As ornamental trees the beeches at tract attention primarily on account of their dignity of form and peculiar ly "clean" appearance; they give am- pie and spreading shade; the leaves are remarkably free from the insect pests, and they can generally be readi- ly transplanted. They thrive best in rich, deep, sandy loam, but will grow we'll in any ordinary soil. The trees attain a height of 80 to 100 feet. In the different seasons the beech pre- sents totally different pictures.

Miss Mary Eldredge says that for one thing she lives too far away from the place of the meeting of the sooials to hold any longer the position of president of the Ladies' Aid society of the Congregational church. She has been an efficient officer, so far, and the society will reluctantly aoce
 her resignation.
 Mrs. Ellen Griggs Danforth, daugh- ter of the late l.. D. Griggs and his wife, Mrs. Eunice Johnson Griggs, formerly of this town, died recently in Westfeld, Mass. The late MT. Danforth was Monson boy, going to the south as a soldier during the civil war, dying soon after it's close of con- sumption, leaving three children, one of which was the deceased.
 George Knight, who used to live with his father on the old Morrison place, near Daleville, and who sub- sequently, with his wife and little children, lived on the place now owned and occupied by Mrs. Essex and her son-inlaw, John G. Ryder, was suddenly killed early last week in Providence, R. l., by a trolley car. Years ago, before his removal to that city, he was tax collector for this town. He was a brother law of the late Lucius Eldredge.

 George P. Bugbee, the new agent at the railway station, has resigned his position on account of alleged over- work, including Sunday, and the low rate of wages. He will probably re- main on his farm which he recently purchased of Charles E. Nichols and wife, and we may have hotel accom- modations in town soon. We under stand that the vacancy occurred last Saturday evening, and that Harold Parkhurst was appointed to fill it. The public will be sorry to hear of this resignation, as MT. Bugbee had proved himself to be faithful officer of the road, and very accommodating to with all. MT. Parkhurst, it will be remembered, married Ethel Bur- dick, youngest daughter of Lee Bur- dick, Holland side, not long ago.
