Timber Deal Under Consideration,

The North Adams (Mass.) Transcript
SAYS that H. A. Spencer, of Spencer
Bros, real estate brokers, has returned
from several days trip in Vermont
with representatives of a syndicate of
New York capitalists who have looked
over parts of 1900 acres of timberland
which they may purchase in the imme-
date future. The timberland lies in four
towns, Heartwellville Tin the town of
Readsboro), Woodford, Stanford, and
Bennington and contains plenty of both
hard and soft wood timber.
The deal will represent about $75 200
and everything looks most suspicious for
it's contamination, as the representatives
who viewed the property were greatly
pleased with it. If the deal is made it
will probably necessitate the extension
of the Hoosac Tunnel & Wilmington
railroad to Heartwellvillle. 1t is estima-
ted that in the tract there is So 600, 900
feet of good lumber which would cause
the building of at least two new mills
above Heartwellville which would give
employment to large number of men.

Shells Probably First Used for Pur.
pose in Prehistoric Times.

The suggestion is offered by cor
respondent that the domestic spoon
probably owes its origin to the she'll.
Shells, of the mussel, scallop, and oy-
ster, 1t is believed, were used in pre-
historic times as spoons and ladies',
the handle being formed of piece
Of wood split at one end to hold the
shell firmly. Some savage nations
make similar spoons up to the present
day, and the old Highland custom OF
offering whisky in a shell has been
probably handed down from genera.
ton to generation for untold ages.
Westman in his History of the
Spoon" gives Roman specimens, which
are very simple in design something
like silver caddy spoons-and are
much shorter in the handle than those
from Egypt. Those for common use
were generally made. Of bronze, iron
or brass. They clearly show how the
shell shape was retained, and their
marine origin Is also preserved in the
name of spoon cochleare derived
from cochlea. a shell or cookie. The
Celtic spoon also closely ressmbled.

bronze. The horns of various animals.
such as the OK. bison and ram. were
often used as drinking cups, and as
the material was found suitable. 1t
was sometimes used with wood. ivory,
metal, etc. for spoon making. Hence
the ancient expression: ITO spoil Q

Made Sure Pair Was There.

A through train stopped a few mo.
ments at small station the other
day. A passenger got OFF to walk
around little. AS the train began
to move again the passenger jumped
aboard, but just then he discovered
that he had but one overshoe. Think
ing that he dropped the other some
where on the platform, and. as the
train was going too fast for him to
jump of and recover it, he pulled off
the remaining shoe and threw it on
the platform, exclaiming: There.
that makes good pair of overshoes
for somebody" Entering the car, he
proceeded to his seat. There, to his
great astonishment, was his overshoe.
A look of intense disgust came over
his face, but he did not hesitate.
Quickly picking up the lone arctic, he
hurried to the platform, threw the
shoe as far as he could back toward
the other one. and shouted: by
jimminy. there is pair of overshoes
for somebody"

NOT Their Fault

A broad-minded dominic, whose par
ish was near the headwaters of the
Susquehanna, had among his parish
toner's a character who was more
punctual at the fishing-hole down the
river than he was at the church on
Sundays. Bright and early one Mon
day morning this Sabbath fisherman
called the preacher to the door and
presented him with a very fine and
tempting string of pickerel. The DOM
inie was very profuse with his thanks
for gift that was indeed welcome.
But; look here. parson," said the
man, still retaining the fish, those
fish were caught Yesterday. and may

Never mind that" said the dom
inie. stretching out his hand for the
string. There's one thing certain:
the pickerel were not to blame"
