attention to his weapon but came at
him and knocked him down and
paved him and no doubt would
have ended his life had he not taken
refuge in plum tree near by. AS
it was he had one ley badly crushed

PROFESSIONAL FOOLS.

The statement is corroborated by
the evidence supplied by history Of
the extraordinary affection borne by
kings TO their jesters-an affection
perhaps the result in part OF licensed
familiarity permitted to the fool
alone. Traces Of it are everywhere
apparent. Here and there magnifi

testified to the gratitude of the master
toward the man who had made him

be found in gifts such as the rich

presented by John the Good, the pris-
oner OF Poictiers, to his fool, Jehan

"BRONTIDI."
Hollow Noises That Came from Some
where.


Interesting acoustic phenomena
called, in Italy, "brontidi," have been
investigated by Prof. +. Alippi. of the
meteorological and seismical obscrva
tory of Urtino, Italy. These brontidi
are mostly hollow noises, resembling
the echo of distant explosion, and
are usually observed with a bright
sky and calm air. occurring rather
seldom in windy or rainy weather
They usually occur in the afternoon,
both in winter and summer. These
noises would seem to be of atmos
pheric origin. They do not produce
any physiological cffects of their own.
nor do they seem to be connected with
local earthquakes, though they some
times cause window pancs to vibrate
They are nearly everywhere consid-
cred as presages of bad weather. and
are pOpularly supposed to be due to
strong tides or storms at sea, whose
echoes are transmitted to distance.
Prof. Alippi has obtained his results
by means of "A circular letter I, which
2l1 observers havr replied and Il
OF whom had noticed the sounds rhe
observers in question were distributed
throughout the whole of Italy and its
African colonies
These noises do not appear to be
due to artificial causes such as mine
explosions or gun shots. as they most
~ occur in central mountain regions
where such causes are absent while
In some populated valleys where
mines are common their existence
IS never noticed. The author is NOT
inclined either to ascribe this phen
"menon To natural causes. such nc
winds, while the hypothesis some
times suggested of thunderbolts nm
der the horizon cannot be maintained
either, owing to the equal distribu
ton of brontidi over summer and
winter
There may be some connection he
tween certain brontidi and seismicoI
Phenomena, while another class of
brontidi may be connected with mete
geological phenomena; and in order
fully to elucidate this question. the
observations will be continued from

and Geodynamical Office. which in

you or some member Of your family

you call THE Doctor"-how many pre-
seriptions does he write for the
patient-three, four Ave or a full half
dozen
Why does he Go this, and then make
you spend still more money for some
special apparatus that you really
don't need ?
Is II not true he does It because he
isn't satisfied with an honest fee, be-
cause the interior part Of his metacar-
pus is afflicted with an awful itch
which nothing but your good money
can soothe. isn't 1t true he does it be-
cause he has just got to get a big fat
rake off on your prescriptions and all
other goods that he can make you
buy?
Look into this matter yourself, and
then determine in your own mind IL
you can afford to employ The Doctor.

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY
New Drug, PosIam, Now obtainable in
Small Quantities.

Since it's discovery one year ago the
new drug, poslam, has successfully
cured thousands of chronic cases of
eczema and other distressing skin
Affections. Heretofore poslam has
been dispensed solely for the benefit OF
eczema patients in large jars sufficient
for a months treatment. This was
found to be an inconvenience to many
thousands who use It for minor skin
troubles. such as pimples, blackheads,
herpes, acne. scaly scalp. complexion
blemishes. itching feet. piles, etc, which
require but a small quantity to cure.
To overcome this, and in response to
urgent appeals, the dispensers OF
poslam have been obliged to adopt. in
addition to the regular two-dollar
package. a special fifty-cent size, which
in future may be found on sale at Lee
& Osgood's Smiths and other leading
drug stores In Norwich or may be
ordered direct from the Emergency
Laboratories, No. 80 West 25th Street,
New York City. In all eczema cases
poslam stops itching with first appli-
cation. and proceeds to heal imme-
diately; chronic cases being cured in
two weeks. In less serious skin
troubles, results are seen after an over
night application.
Poslam is also on sale in Putnam at
Larue's; in Danielson at Woodword's;
and in Willimantic at Chesebro's.
Samples for experimental purposes
may still be had, free of charge, by
writing to the Laboratories for them.

cants who have to be looked after
The management was instructed to
utilize cots in the assembly room tenn
porarily, and It was decided not to de-
lay the admission Of any applicant.
President Leopold deLeeuw of Hart
ford was unable to attend the meeting,
owing to a severe cold. Vice Presi-
dent Selah G. Brakeman OF Southing-
ton presided.
II was decided to authorize repairs
to the barns Of the farm to be made
and IT was recommended that a new
barn be built. The officers and cor
porators have in mind the building OF
a rev dormitory. The water supply
is inadequate and it was decided to
enlarge this by building a tank OF
greater capacity than the one now in
use.
During the year there have been
seven deaths at the home. Six of these
were brothers Of the order and one was
a sister Of the Rebekahs.
