Maxims and AIottos.

Other things besides events repeat
themselves in history. Even our fads
and fancies find prototypes In far
countries and times. The mania for
illuminated texts and quotations which
runs riot in these days is nothing new
nor distinctive. When the English
mission Of 1904 forced its way to the
forbidden city of Lhasa and laid bare
the mysteries of inner Tibet, they
found that the native taste for illu-
minated mottos had been established
for centuries Lieut.-Col. L. Austine
Waddell TELLS OF the custom in his
book on the expedition.
The Grand Lama's spell. "Om mani
padme Huml"-Haill the Jewel Is the
Lotus Flowerl-is carved everywhere
on the rocks. Inserted stone tablets
and plastered posters bearing pious
sentences and texts in ornamental lib
etan letters are all along the way, to
improve the minds Of passing readers
These are mostly maxims OF a mora
kind. Some of these are as follows:
Speech should float forth freely like
q bird in the sky. and be clothed IN
charming dress like a goddess"
Speech should be bold as lion
soft as a gentle hare. impressive 6,

Fish Eating Ponies.

THE Shetland peasants, as soon a.
the cold comes on. turn their ponies
out to shift for themselves" said a
horse dealer. ION those high, rocky,
barren islands, amid the powerful and
cold winds of winter, the ponies live
on heather and seaweed, and it is indu-
bitable that in their hunger they even
soour the wild coast for dead fish. II
is this life OF exposure that gives the
Shetland pony his shaggy coat. What
gives him his kind and gentle dis
position is the fact that he is brought
up with the dogs and children-one
might almost say in the house,

WHEN WIDOWS PREFER TO WED.
French Statistics Raise Questions
Which Arc Hard to Answer.


Which Arc Hard to Answer.
The French have been compiling
some statistics as to the ages at which
women most frequently seek husbands.
The figures as published show that
widows Of 20 or younger and those of
husband as the maiden for her first
one. But between the ages of 20 and
80 the desire for a successor to the
departed one appears to be lacking.
Just what is responsible for this
state OF affairs cold facts and figures
fail to show" says the Washington
Herald, commenting on this phenome-
non. 1T Is not question OF mathe-
mates, but of heart pulsations, and as
yet no machine or instrument has
of Cupid and his wiles. 1t is need
less to go deeply into these figures,
but 1t is possible that between the
ages of 20 and 30 the widow is 80
charming and so attractive that her
suitors are SO numerous she Is I'M
able to decide which one to favor.
Then, again. 1t is possible that she Ia
content with her station, whereas pre-
vious to 20 she is so young as to feel
the necessity for some protector; while
after the age OF 80 she Is eager to
wed lest she be left without a life
companion owing to her advancing
years."

they are given here in FULL
There are hermit souls that live Withdrawn
In the peace of their self content,
There are souls like stars that dwell apart
In a fellOWleSS armament;
There are pioneer souls that blaze their paths
Where highways never ran;
But let me live by the side of the road
And he friend of man.
Let me live in a house by the side of the road
Where the race of men go by;
The men who are good and the men who are bad,
As good and as bad as l.
l would not sit in the scOrnerS seat,
Or hurl the CynicS ban
Let me live in a house by the side of the road
And be friend of man.
l see from my house by the side ofthe road,
By the side of the highway of life,
The men who press with the ador of hope,
And the men who are faint with the strife,
But turn not away from their smiles nor their
tears
Both parts of an infinite plan
Let me live in my house by the side of the road,
And be friend of man
| know there are brook -gaddened meadows
ahead
And mountains of wearisome height;
That the road passes on thro' the long afternoon
And stretches away to the night,
But still | rejoice when the trav lers rejoice,
And weep with the strangers that moan;
Nor live in my house by the side of the road
Like man that dwells alone
Let me live in my house by the side of the road
When the race of men go by
They are good, they are bad, they are weak, they
are strong,
Wise, fOolish-SO am l.
Then why should sit in the ScOrner's seat,
Or hurl the Cynics ban?-
Let me live in the house by the side of the road
And be friend of man.

"We are brought face to face in
this country with whether we shall
have cats or birds. The high cost
of food is not so much a matter of
Trusts as it is of cats, because we
cannot raise enough insectivorOus
birds. We have exterminated our
native cats and imported those which
are fully as destructive. l do not
mean the household pet cat, but those
which are allowed to run wild and
become pests. There are myriads of
worthless cats that kill an untold
number of valuable birds. Valuable
as insect destroyers, and therefore
of incalculable value to the nation.
This was said by Prof. Clifton H.
Hodge, Phi. D., of Clark College,
Worcester, Mass, in his Brooklyn
Institute lecture on problems of
American Game Birds-The Passenger
Pigeon, Ruffed Grouse and Bobwhite, !"
given in lecture hall, Academy of
Music recently, and the statement
was warmly appauded.
By actual count a bobwhite was
found to eat l 1,286 rose bugs between
a family's hours of breakfast and
supper, about ten hours, and these
were not all the insects consumed.
Fifteen minutes and few drops of
honey will generally succeed in tam
ing a young humming bird, and such
were said to make charming pets.

That our Town Council is able to
meet its obligations and do such
good work in improving streets, ETC.,
on its revenue from the Light and
Water Plant and a tax rate of 43
cents on the hundred dollars, is most
eommendable. Dover, Middletown
and other towns on a much higher
tax rate do not accomplish as much.

is considered, Smyrna enjoys about
as many comforts and benefits as our

MARK TWAIN.

There is genuine grief in Ell
rope and America because of the
death of Samuel L Clemens, who
passed away on April 21. He was
a great American man of letters,
the greatest humorist America has
known, man whose geniality
never forsook him, and he was
uniformly "a friend to man." His
books have had larger sale in
the last ten years than those of
any other man, living or dead. His
royalties have exceeded those of
any other American writer. He
received larger price per word
for his articles in the last ten years
than any other American. At
sixty years of age he lost every
dollar he had and went into bank
ruptcy under most depressing cir
cumstances. At that time he was
in sore financial straits in London
and some American friends sent
him $4,000 which, much as he
needed it, he courteously returned
to the donors. In the fifteen years
since then his income has been so
great that it is estimated that his
