Easily Turned.

A small boy was asked to take dinner
at the home of distinguished profess
sor in Princeton. The lads mother, in
fear lest he should commit some breach
of etiquette, gave him repeated direc-
tions as to what he should and should
not do.
Upon his return from the great occa-
sion, the mothers first question was,
Harold, did you get along at the table
all right?"
'Oh Jes, mamma, we'll enough"
'You are sure you didn't do anything
that was not perfectly polite and gen

Old Cannon a Clock Weight.

The most unique clock weight in Maine
is that of the Baptist church at Cherry
field, an old smooth DO, cannon. The old
cannon was one of the old smooth bore
type and was brought by Gleason R.
Campbell from Boston on one of the re-
turn trips of lumber vessels. 1t was
brought to fire salutes, as the stirring
days of the Civil war were at hand. Aft
er announcing many Union victories dur
ing the war, at the surrender of Lee in
1865 it was taken out for final and
great salute. Robert l.. Wiley, soldier
of the war, who was at home on fur
Tough, was in charge of the cannon, and
through some mismanagement a prema-
ture discharge of the gun threw Mr. Will
ley high in the air, filled his face with
powder and tore one arm off close at the
shoulder, The old gun was then spiked
by the angry citizens and did no more
salute service. When the Second Baptist
church building was built in 1873 a
weight being wanted for the clock, the
old gun was used. For thirty years it did
clock duty until 1903, when it once more
received a baptism of fire and fell in the
ruins of the church contia grafton that
December. When the new clock was in
stalled in the new church building in
1906 once more the old cannon mounted
the tower to do clock duty.-Kennebec

King Edward as a Farmer.

The rich crop of prizes which the
kings cattle and sheep have won at the
Bingley Hall show, Birmingham, is the
latest demonstration of his majesty's
success as a farmer, of which he is so
deservedly proud. When the king began
breeding nearly forty years ago the
Sandringham farm lands were in an al
most hopeless condition, barren and
barely capable of cultivation. Today,
according to Rider Haggard, cit is a
wonderful farm, for nowhere is so much
high bred stock to be seen on the same
area" But probably nowhere will you
find such an array of plates and cups
won at shows as that which Sandring-
ham boasts. At single exhibition his
majesty once won no fewer than four
teen first prizes. In 1908 he captured
five first prizes and cups, in addition to
numerous seconds and thirds; in 1904
his prizes numbered twenty, in 1905 he
won a champion plate, a challenge cup
and eighteen other prizes, including four
frsts. while last year he took at the
Smithfeld show ten frsts, nine 'breed'
cups and plates, six other prizes and
several 'highly commendeds," and every
prize winner he has bred himself.-West-

PRAIRIE DU CHEN, Wis, June %.
Il Special. IA cloudburst, accompanied
by hail and a gale of violence passed over
the southwestern part of Wisconsin last
Saturday night, doing incalculable dam
age in a few hours. The path of devas-

STORM SWEEPS STATE
GREAT DAMAGE TO CROPS AND
ORCHARDS DONE BY GALE.
Small Hurricanes Visit Number of Wis
consin Towns, Demolishing Con-
siderable Property.

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, June %, 1908.
During the past two days, Wisconsin
has passed through siege of small tor
nadoes, severe wind and thunderstorms,
accompanied by hail in many instances,
which have wrought damage which
cannot possibly be estimated, and which
would amount to at least over a million
dollars. The series of storms began Sat
urday night with a tornado and cloud
burst, which swept over the southwest
ern part Of the state, inundating low
lands, washing out railroad tracks,
breaking down telegraph poles and
wires and running crops. Sunday,
storm squalls of minor Importance struck
several parts of the state, but yesterday
dispatches from the state show that
many cities and villages throughout Wis
consln were attacked by severe wind
storms.
A cloudburst broke over La Crosse
vicinity of that city greatly. At Mer-
rill, the buildings of the STANCE Lumber
company were badly damage by a sudden
violent wind storm, which struck the
city, accompanied by rain. Buildings
were unroofed at Appleton and plate
glass window fronts were blown in,
trees torn up and telegraph poles blown
down, the damage in the city, due to
yesterdays storm being estimated at
about $4,000.
Waupaca suffered during the day
from violent storm, accompanied by
hail and rain, and Kaukauna, the in
habitants of which city lay claim to be
located in a calm belt was visited by
a gale which ragged for over half an
hour, doing great damage to shade trees
and dismantling an elm tree seventy five
years old in Mitchell park. Crops were
badly spoiled, and orchards were dam
aged in the neighborhood of Wausaukee
during the day by a terrific gale which
blew for nearly half an hour.
The storm at Neenah scooped the wa
ter out of the water power canal and
the mills had to shut down for some
time. A party of Chicago fishermen
were caught out on the lake, and their
launch drifted for seven miles before
the tempest.
Weyauwega, Amigo and Eau Claire
all suffered to some extent from the
storm, which in some instances re
sembled a miniature cyclone. The wind
in each case broke down telegraph poles,
laid grain low and dismantled houses,
while the sudden downpour of rain left
the country partly inundated.
The storm Monday afternoon which
passed over Marinette was severe. Crops
suffered considerable damage and boats
at anchor in the bay there were driven on
the beach.

BLOW COMES UP.
MANY RUSH FOR SHELTER.
Today's Damage Is Slight, but Broken

Streets.
PLATE GLASS IS HARD HIT.

NEW RICHMOND, Wis, June o.
(SpeciaD.-Just ten days after the ninth
anniversary Of the tornado, which laid
New Richmond in ruins, almost wiping
out the city, a storm struck the city
early this morning, which because of
its similarity to the first attack of the
death dealing tempest of June II, 1899,
brought terror to the hearts of the in
habitants The first roar of the storm
with it's booming sound, and sharp
squalls which seemed to come from all
directions confirmed the people who had
passed through the tornado in the be-
lief that another disaster was about to
overtake New Richmond.
However. the storm this morning
turned to sharp rain squall, which
resembled a cloudburst in it's ferceness,
and rainfall exceeded an inch and a half
in a few minutes. The rain was &C
companied by hail, and sharp lightning
by deafening thunder.
Many Rush for Shelter.
The city, in view of the former expert
ence, when 125 people We're killed and
over 1000 injured, was almost paralyzed
by fear this morning. The wind came
up out of dead calm, the main currents
blowing from the southwest just as it did
on June IL, $780, Then a powerful
counter current came from the north
west, the currents seeming to unite over
the city. The cry that another judgment
of nature had fallen upon New Rich
mond seemed to have been communicate
ed to every man, woman and child, for
no sooner has the first terrific blasts
struck than people were seen running in
all directions for shelter. Many sought
refuge in cellars, and then before many
could get under cover the storm was
over, and the rain fell in torrents.
Today's Damage Slight.
The 1899 storm was perhaps one of
the worst on record of late years as 1t
swept everything clean in its path OF
twenty-five mics, doing property dam
age to the amount of at least a million
dollars, and practically destroying the
whole city of New Richmond.
1t was therefore with light hearts that
the people of this city looked upon the
comparatively slight damages done by
the storm this morning, which, however,
strewed the streets with electric lights,
trees and poles and telephone wires. a
few buildings were practically unroofed,
and the large chimney of the Catholic
church was blown down, while the heavi-
est damage done was to plate glass win

Height of Land. Depth of Sea.

The mean height of all the land now
above the sea is referred to by Lyell as
being 1000 feet. The mean depth of
the ocean is at least $4,000 feet, that is,
if exceeds the height of the land twelve
times. This is because the extreme
heights of the land, although probably no
less than the extreme depths of the sea,
yet are exceptional heights, while the
ocean meintains it's dapth over enormous
areas. Owing to the fact that the sur
face of the ocean to that of the land is
as two and a half to one, the ocean
would accommodate the whole of land

of Canada have been suspended as far as
the Pacific coast is concerned owing to
the fact that there was not enough Ca
