In response 70 q suggestion from
the members of the Hubbell band the
council made provision for the Install
alton of an additional street light on
Dunbar avenue TO be ready for use
by Saturday evening. In considera
ton of this fact the Hubbell band has
agreed TO give free open air concerts
each Saturday evening during the
summer season.
1t was decided that work would be
commenced at once upon the installa-
ton Of the five new hydrants which
were received a short time ago A new
trench pump has also been received
and is ready for use. 1t has been
stored i'm the shed recently erected
for the use Of the village for such
purposes
1t was decided that another meeting
of the council would be held on May
III, to consider sewer work which is
to be undertaken this year. 1t is al
most a certainty that considerable
work of this kind will be undertaken.

UNLISTED STOCKS.

J. A. Minnear & Co. say today:
Closing prices indicate considerable
buoyancy in the New York list. The
betterment is due to the success which
attended the efforts of several corpor-
ations i'm their finances. This move
was attended with better results than
was expected. A slightly easier tone to
the money market has also contributed
to the buying movement. 1t looks as
though these factors would carry pri-
ces even higher before any material
decline would be noted The copper
share market acted somewhat in sym
pathy with the New York list Anal

The selling pressure seerls to have
stopI ed for the time being and the
whole list shows tendency to rally.
The successful placing of several bond
issues abroad has greatly eased the
money situation and the big floor trad
ers are disposed to take the bull side
for turn. The short interest is large
and can easily be forced to cover. The
closing prices were at the highest for
the day and it looks as If the rally
would continue several points more.
We do not think, however, that the
basic conditions of the market are
much improved and we would take ad-
vantage of any rally which may come
to sell stocks.-Foster, of Paine, Web

Unhealthy to Dine Alone.

The solitary eater is always
tempted to take too large mouthfuls
and swallow them too quickly and
either eat too much or too little.
Eating is only one part of feeding
and without digestion is not only
useless, but injurious. Those who
eat in company have to devote a
certain amount of time to talking
and attending to each others wants.
This makes the period between the
mouthfuls longer and gives more
time for digestion, Then, again,
conversation at mealtimes usually
takes a cheerful turn, and the tone
of both body and mind is raised, the
heart and nervous system act better,
the flow of digestive juices is stimu-
lated, and larger amount of actual
nourishment is obtained from a
smaller quantity of food.

lad. "Aw'll go an see"
He returned again directly and,
addressing the shopman, said:

The shopman handed it to him,
smiling, and said:
"What is the difference?" ?"
"Well," said the lad, going to-
ward the door, "mi father says
there's same difference as there is
between you and a donkey, and that
is they're booath alike"

observed to pass each other in the
street without a greeting.

in astonishment, "have you and

PERILoUs WORK.
Dantsrs Of Railroad Surveying In
Mountainous Regions.

Sometimes the work of mountain
railroad surveying parties become:
intense and dramatic. The Chief
lowered into a deep and rocky river
canyon, is making rough notes and
sketches, following the character OF
the rock formation, and dreaming
dreaming the great dreams that all
great engineers, great architects,
great creators, must dream perforce.
He is dreaming of the day when, a
year or two hence, the railroads
paths all have crowded themselves
into this impasse and when the folk
who dine luxuriously in the showy
cars will fret because of the curve
that spills their soup and never
know of the man who was slipped
down over a 600 foot cliff so that
the railroad might find its way.
1t is then that the work of the
surveying party begins to have its
thrills. Perhaps to put that line
through the canyon the party will
have to descend the river in canoes.
If the river be too rough, then there
is the alternative of being lowered
over the cliff sides. Talk of your
dangers of Alpine climbingl The
engineers who plan and build rail-
roads through any mountainous
country miss not single one of
them. Everywhere the line must
find a foothold. That is the prob
lem that must be solved. Some
times the men who follow the
"chief" in the deep river canyons,
the men with heavy instruments to
carry and to operate-transits, lev
els and the hke-must have lines
of logs strung together for their
precarious foothold as they work.
Sometimes that foothold is lost, the
rope that lowers the engineer down
over the cliff sides snaps. The folk
riding months later in the cheerful
dining cars do not know of the
graves that are dug beside the rail
roads path.
1t is all new and wonderful, blaz-
ing this path for civilization; some
times it is even accidental. An en-
gineer, baffled to find a crossing over
The Rockies for a transcontinental
route, saw an eagle disappear
through a cleft in the hills that his
eyes had not before detected. He
followed the course of the eagle,
and today the rails of the transcon-
tinental reach through that cleft
and the time table shows it as Eagle

OLD BOARDING PLACES.
'Becret Drawers and Hidden Nooks In

Which Money Was Stored.
ut was the common opinion OF
yEriters on economies in the seven
teenth century that much currency
was hidden in ceilings, behind

often most ingeniously contrived.
1t is surprising how well these Sc
cret corners elude detection, even
when their existence may be ex-
pected or inferred. Some years ago
the wife of a Kentish laborer was
breaking up an old chest of drawers
when she discovered a secret COM
partment nearly filled with gold
cbins of the reigns of William III.
and George ii. The chest had been
purchased for a few shillings about
Twenty years previously, and the
fact that this little store of coins
had not been discovered earlier was
all the more strange, because in all
probability the drawers had been
several times repaired.

money is afforded by two old books

There are AGO more in two covered

door Of the little parlor there is a
can containing some milled money.
Two boxes full of money were
placed in two holes Of the great
furnace. from which they were to be
drawn by a long, crooked iron
standing behind the kitchen door.
In all ten or a dozen such hiding

was variously contained in boxes,
