Health Officer DIR. M. F. Prime and
Selectman N. M. Lewis were called to
the place known as the Joseph Water
man farm near Harry Fisk's Thursday
night on account of the death of O. P
Miles, whose body was found that
night. Mr.. Miles lived alone, had not
been seen for few days, and one of
the neighbors went into his house and
found him dead. 1t was judged from
examination of the body that he had
been dead two days. His shoes were
OFT and he was lying on the bed, appar-
emily having lain down in the evening.
Mr. Miles was man 73 years old,
and was afflicted with valvular heart

now owning it are interested in

ideal places for homes. The object of
the syndicate in buying this property is
not to make great amount of money,

at reasonable prices so as to induce
settlers to build, giving all fair and
equal chance. 1t is not proposd to sell

the laying out the streets and building

Up in the Crawford aher country
the trees got out of the bad spell of
weather in fine shape and will bear
heavily this year. In some few of the
orchards, the owners report slight
damage, but not enough to effect the
crop. The freeze helped the grower
out by thinning his trees. We find that
the case in some of the orchards here,
but the cold wave run in streaks and
did more damage to some than others.
Taking the present outlook into con-
sideration we can look forward to a
good year, the best we have had for
the past four years and it takes away
that gloomy look which we have seen
on the faces of the people for the past
two weeks. The danger from frost is
now considered past for this year and
spraying and pruning is the order of
the day.

The Sway of the Typewriter.

The typewriter Is playing an i'm
portant part in civilizing the world
The latest invention in this line is a
machine capable of transcribing the
Japanese ideogram; but typewriters
imprinting Arabic, Syriac, Armenian,
Hebrew and other Oriental languages
have long been used.
In Turkey the printing of anything,
from circular letter to a book. can
only be done under permit from the
government. Therefore, typewIiters
which imprint Turkish or Arabic
characters are prohibited from pass
ing through the custom-house. New
erthelecs, the increasing demand has
somehow produced a small supply.
Bagdad, a city of 100000 inhabitants,
has twenty machines, all of which
write Arabic. In Syria, one Of the
most polyglot countries in the world,
Syriac, Arabic and French writing
tyDewriters are used by many of the
business houses. Persia, which uses
the Arabic script, is learning to adopt
the typewriter. To go farther east, a
number of Hindustani writing ma
chimes are now used in Bombay and
other cities of India. Chinese seems
to be the only language which still re-
sists the typewriter's endearments.-

CHAPTER VIII.

Fragile, waxen faces, that take the
stamp of youth most delicately, are
also those which olden quickest under
the pressure of moral or physical sick
ness. l have myself seen such one
lose youth and bloom forever in the
space of four-andtwenty hours of
sudden mortal anguish. When Jane
Grand came down to meet Clifford Mo-
hun next morning, her face was more
altered by this one night of weeping
than many women's would be by the
wear and tear and commonplace suf-
fering, Of half score of ordinary
years.
Mohun was startled at the alteration
in her. Miss Grand's beauty was pre-
cisely that quality with which lie was
In love; and it shocked him to see the
capabilities of plainness already latent
in her girlish face.
"Jane, are you ill?-my dearest Jane,
what in the world is the matter with
you?'
She walked quickly to his side, and,
before he had time to rise. threw her
arms round his leck-she SO shy and
reticent even of loving words!-and
kissed him!

How q Submarine Dives.

All submarine vessels are brought
to a condition or readiness to sub
merge by taking in water ballast in
suitably arranged and controlled
tanks. This causes more of the boat
to sink below the waters surface, and
finally leaves her with only a small
part of her conning-tower out of
water. The remaining part above
water represents what is called "re-
serve buoyancy." This buoyancy var
les generally from 200 to 1000
pounds, depending upon the size Of
the craft; and 1t Is to overcome the
permanent tendency to rise repre-
sented by this reserve that pressure
is brought to bear upon the sub
merging rudders or the aeroplanes
in order to make the boat sink after
she is once put in motion.
Now, the amount of water that
must be taken into submarine ves-
sci to bring her body sufficiently be-
low the surface for readiness to dive
constitutes one of the two prime dis
tinctions between the submarine and
the submersible. In the submarine
only from five per cent. to twelve per
cent of her total submerged bulk lies
above the surface when she is in her
lightest condition, and, accordingly,
nearly that percentage of water bal.
last must be pumped into her tanks
to bring her down to the required
condition preparatory to running sub
merged. In a submersible, on the
other hand, two, three and even four
times this percentage Of water ballast
must be pumped into her tanks in
order to reduce the vessels reserve
of buoyancy SO that she may be forci-
by made to sink out of sight. 1t is
the height out of water or reserve
of buoyancy of the submersible which
gives her her superior sea-keeping
qualities, which permits the vessel
to be driven safely on the surface at
higher rates of speed, and which con-
tributes in other ways to the effic-
iency, the habitability and the mill
tary value of the craft.-Harper'
Weekly.

A TALE OF TWO BEARS.

This happened in Canada, and is q
good illustration of the luck which
attends children, fools and drunken
men. About two years ago l, with Il
large band of cowboys like myself.
was on a roundup" when we met a
riderless "bronc," which we recog-
nized as belonging to one Andersen, n
Swede, who had lately settled in the
district. Someone had seen Andersen
riding toward the foothills that morn
ing, and we according turned in that
direction, fearing some accident had
happened to him. We came upon
him a couple of miles or SO from the
foothills. He was very busy and hav-
ing the time of his life with two bear
cubs. He was in a very dilapidated
condition, as his clothes were re-
duced to rags, his face was scratched,
and the sole and heel of his right
shoe were missing. We relieved him
of the biting, scratching little fellows
and eagerly interrogated him. This
was what he told:
MAY coo, she get out. Ay go
hoont 'er, tank maybe she 90 in dar,"
pointing to a wooded gulch in the
foothills, "and Ay go in after 'er. Ay
tank Ay see two black dog. Him
climb tree. Ay tank him bay funny
dog, go up an see. Ay get up tree.
then see big animals come out de
brush an climb bar. Ay catch little
bar, tie him togedder. Ay throw lit
tie bar down, maybe big bar go down
after i'm. Big bar go down. Ay go
down, too. Big bar grab little bar.
Ay tank little bar bay nice pet. Ay

gcdder with an run for horse.

He run. Ay wrap rope around he
horn an hang on. Big bar get sole

get off to see. Horse run away. Lit
tie bar, he scratch may"
Some of the cowboys refused to be-
lieve him. Upon investigation. how
ever, it was found that he had told
the truth. The only thing that saved
him was the fact that the bear was a
young one and the two cubs her first.

A Field Marshal of Thrift.

Harper's Weekly, reviewing Rus
sell Sage's life, calls him field mar
shall Of thrift, rather than a great
captain of industry. 1t says:
Russell Sage was nothing momen-
tous as a captain Of industry, but he
was a field marshal Of thrift. He was
an amusing person, neutral-tinted as
to most things, fond Of money for its
own sake, and good at getting and
keeping 1t. The most significant fact
that is back of the careers of most
of the great money-getters is that
they wanted money early and wanted
1t very much. 1t was so with Uncle
Russell. He was poor when he was
a boy, and made up his mind that
he would not be poor when he was
grown up. Accordingly he worked
hard and was very saving. More
over, he was smart, a great deal
smarter than common. What he put
his hand to, went. He was success
full as a grocer's clerk. as a grocer,
a trader and a politician. He bought
and sold horses in the intervals Of
business, and made money even at
that. One gets better notion of the
quality of the man from reading
about the first half of his life, when
he lived in Troy, and was laying the
foundations of his fortune, than
about the last half, spent in New
York, for he was already rich man
when he came to New York Gin
1859. 1t was his misfortune that
he learned SO thoroughly to save
money that he had not left in him
the power to learn to spend 1t. That
is one of the risks of forming early
habits of thrift.
