Every one has noticed them. I think
they may be classified in this way: 1.-The
roly-poly babyish woman, who fairly bris-
ties with pretty little unspoken remon-
s%trances when she is neglected in the matter
of getting a seat, and who "smiles through
her tears when her impotence is at last
rewarded.
2.-The reserved, digniied woman, who
takes things quietly, just as she finds them,
without even the culver of an eyelash. She
sometimes neglects TO say "Thank you r'so
intent is she on preserving her dignity
intact.

Occult

BY NJ. CAMILLE PLANTATION,
Famous French Savant.

1t is dangerous to believe and not to believe.
Very few men and fewer women have a mind so
constituted that they are capable Of accepting new
and unexplained facts without any sort of precon-
ceiyed idea regarding them. In general, one is dis
posed only to admit those facts for which one is pre-
pared by ideas already received. There is not, per-
haps, one human being in a hundred capable of regis
tering simply, freely and exactly, like a Photographic
apparatus, a new impression. Absolute independence
is very rare in the human race.
One well-obseryed fact, even if it contradict all
science, has more value than all hypothesis put to-
gether.

Some of the farmers resent the eff.

Citizens who were victimized by the slick stranger who secured several hundred dollars from unsuspeeting Fair Haven people and promising to send d number of publications sub scribed for, are sorry that Detective McAvoy did not find him in Spring field last Friday. From the informa- tion given by the Springfield police it was believed that the man arrest ed in that city was the sharper who was wanted in Fair Haven and in other parts of the city, for collecting money for a variety of publications and then never sending the publica- tiohs. It was stated last evening that some people here paid out as much as $6 to $S for several publications which were to be sent, a deduction having been promised for payment in ad- vance. Detective McAvoy found that the man arrested was not the man who was wanted here It was pret- ty slick piece of swindling business and the people victimized are pretty mad-that they placed and confidence in the man.
