NJ 'K|NLEY HOME.
Being Converted Into a
Hospital For the
Sisters
NOT MANY CHANGES

The Mckinley home on North Mar
ket street which was recently pur-
chased by two philanthropic citizens
of Canton as a hospital of the Sisters
of Notre Dame, is now being COM
pletely renovated and undergoing ex-
tensive repairs preparatory to its in
tended use. The work is being car
ried on under the supervision of those
who will have charge of the place.
The front lawn is at the present
time torn up with an excavation for
new sewage and water pipes. The
plumbing of the house will be in part
changed to suit the new conditions
Many of the rooms are being repias-
tered and some of the interior wood
work is being renewed.
In the northwest corner of the sec
Ond story several sections of the sid
ing and roof of the house have been
removed and are being replaced with
sections of glass. Opalescent glass
is used up to about five feet from the
floor and the remainder is plain glass
the exception of a new board here and
there is the only case in which the
exterior appearance of the house will
be changed In general it is still Can
tons old landmark.
The interior order Of the rooms
will not be changed much. They will
be arranged into wards in the manner
found in any we'll appointed hospital
The drive at the side of the house
will remain as it has always been.
The flower gardens in the lawn will
be kept up as they have been former
Iy. The sisters are working on these
at the present time.
The work which has been going on
for some time will probably be finish
ed soon. After the house itself is
again ready for use, It will be some
time before It will be furnished and
ready as a hospital.

CANAL FULTON.

Canal Fulton, Aug. 11.-On Friday,
while w. B. Anderson, who resides
on the John Miller heirs farm, two
miles south of this place, was blowing
his plow struck an obstruction,
which he thought to be an ordinary
stone, and from the metallic sound
he thought his plowshare was shat
tered, but upon examination he
found the point to be intact. He then
tried to investigate the obstruction,
but as it was still deeply imbedded
in the earth he plowed on around,
and was then enabled to dig it from
the earth. Seeing 1t was no ordinary
stone, he brought it to town, and all
who have seen it are of the opinion
that is is a part of meteor. 1t is 30
inches long, of an irregular shpe,
being nine inches wide at one end,
and one-third distance from that end
it takes toward the other end termi-
mating In blunt point. 1t weighs
48R pounds. When struck with a
hammer it produces clear metallic
sound, is of a grayish color on the
surface and black within. Lewis
Shafer, student at Heidelberg Col
lSSSj says II very ulueH resembles
specimen of a meteor in the museum
at his college. It is recalled by an
old resident of the locality where it
was found that some 25 or 80 years
ago a meteor was observed to de-
scend in that locality 1t was located
on hillside, the large end being
farther in the soil, the small end be-
ing struck by the plow. 1t Ia on ex-
hibition at F. NJ. McGrues drug store,
where it is attracting considerable
attention.

RoUT OF A GAUDY YOUTH.

WOmaz who Tried 10
Avoid Htm.

The young man who occupied a seat
on the bench in the corner drug store
seemed well satisfied with himself. He
had pulled his trouser legs well up TO
preserve their careful crease and was dis
playing a generous section of gaudy |
stockings above his low-cut patent |
leather shoes. His hat was pushed to !
the back OF his head to give full effect
to parted bang that looped on each !
side over his forehead. His turnover
collar pressed well against his chin and
was decorated in the center by dimin-
utive plaid bow His cuffs were large and
glossy and he seemed conscious Of every
one OF these details and to approve OF
them perfectly, relates the Chicago
Daily News.
He had just lighted cigar at the
swinging gas jet over the counter and
its smoke seemed to annoy the woman
who was also seated on the bench wait
ing for her car. Perhaps it was the
smoke and perhaps it was the general
effect of the young man.
A puff of smoke floated over to the
woman and she coughed-coughed loud
ly and pointedly-but the serene com
placence of the youth was in no wise dis
turbed. He turned around a little
stiffiy, because of the collar-and the in
dignant look that he received ought to
have been enough for him. II was not.
however, and the woman rose and
walked to the other side Of the store.
At that moment the door opened and
a stout elderly woman with several
bundles and three children entered and
made for the bench. The young man
did not move at first, but one of the chill
dren kicked against him with her
swinging feet and he shifted little, re-
adjusting his trousers. The action drew
the childs attention to the stockings
and she pointed to them. See, mann

The other children slid of their seats
to obtain better view of the gorgeous
hose. The young man turned little red
but continued to smoke. The woman
who had left the bench seemed please'
and interested.

continued the stout woman.
The children drew little closer t.

MOSQUITO IN WINTER.

Fresh for Business in Warm
- weather.

A fresh contribution to mosquito lit
erature is a pamphlet issued by the
board of health of Belmont. Mass, for
the instruction OF the people OF that
town in dealing with the nuisance. 1t
is written by William Lyman Under
wood. lecturer in the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. The pamphlet
advises the use OF kerosene on all wa
ter where the mosquitoes may breed
and of pyrethrum powder in the house
to kill or stupefy the adult mosquito.
Prof. Underwood says:
1T is very generally believed that
mosquitoes bite but once and then die.
This is sometimes so; but unless they
are killed in the act of biting they usual
ly live to bite again. The female mos
quito (for it is only the female that
attacks human beings) bites many times.
1t is owing to this fact that they are
able to convey the germs OF malarial
fever from person to person.
THE vast majority OF mosquitoes
never get human blood for food. In its
absence they live upon the bloods of
| birds and other animals, and. when they
are not to be found, upon the juices OF
young and tender plants.
at is not known just how long mos
quitoes can live, but their average life
is much longer than is ordinarily sup
posed. Thousands OF them live through
the winter alternating OF asleep in DARK
places in barns or house cellars. II
