A SEVERE PRACTICAL JOKE

Not long since an acquaintance of ours had an Emerald Islander at work for him, and, being ln the woods one day with him, found a wild turnip and pulled it up. Pat asked what that was. Our acquaintance replied: "a sweet turnip, " and commenced pairing as he would a field turnlp preparatory to eating. After pairing, he cut off 8 slice and handed it in an indifferent way to Pat, who at ouce took generous mouthful. After chewing it very short time he rushed to spring near by aud commenced bathing his tongue, which only added to the excruciating fire. He then at tempted to scrape his tongue with his knife, but for time found no relief, and finally ill desperation he tarned to our friend and piteously besought him to take him home that he might "die on his bed like 8 man." After the intense burning sensation had somewhat sub- sided and he could begin to talk, our friend asked him how 1t tasted, when Pat very soberly answered.: "Be gorry, was iist agoin to say how good he was when he attacked me-"

Estimated That Trip to Europe Will
 Cost $I2O.
 The expense of air-shipping steadily decreases with experience. In operating a transoceanic service. one week would undoubtedly be allotted to each of forty eight annual voyages. The crossing would take but two or three days. En- zines and ships would be overhauled after each trip. 9
 Airships of 10000 cubic meters dis placement would need Jo be refilled twice month. A new process for pro- ducing hydrogen makes the infating of ships the size of the Zeppelin ". cost $526, as compared with $3,091 a year ago Gas drawn from the chambers and burned in the motors, to compensate for weight lost by the consumption of gaso- line would cost $155, leaving $198 for the gasoline consumed. Docking. over hauling and repairing between trips would not exceed $25O. An airship costs $144,6 500; it will last four years if regularly overhauled; credit of $500 for each trip would represent material that could be taken from an obsolete ship to refurnish a new one.
 A captain now receives $3,856 year; two helnsmen, each $2,410, and three engineers, each $1, ,446. This personnel would need to earn $3O1 each trip, but bv transferring the crew from incoming to outgoing ships. $200 would be con- servative estimate for wages. Roughly the expense of each trip would be about $1 ,203.
 If twenty passengers were carried at $120 each, the fare on a first-class steam ship, the returns would enable the air liner to pay handsome dividend and lay aside fund for better wages to more expert officers. The captain must be assisted by navigating officer, both drawing $8,00O to 5000 a year, accord, ing to the training and service demanded of them, which includes expert skill in astronomical and ndmeteorological calcula tions and wireless telegraphy.-Century Magazine.

TO TELL A HORSES AGE

 by an Authority.

Interesting Facts About Horses Teeth,
 by an Authority.
 The following valuable information in regard to horses teeth by H. H. Burlison D. V. S., of Bridgeport, appeared in the last weeks issue of the Newtown Bee.
 A horse has 40 teeth--2l grinders, 12 front teeth and 1 tusks. 4 mare has S6 teeth-24 grinders and 12 front teeth. Sometimes they have tusks, but not very often. At fourteen days old colt has four nipper teeth; at three months old he has four middle teeth; at six months he has four corner teeth; at one year the cups leave the middle teeth; at two and half years old he sheds his nip. per teeths three years old full size nipper teeth; three and a half years old he sheds his middle teeth; four years old full size middle teeth; at four and half years old he sheds his corner teeth; at five years old full size corner teeth; at six years old large cups in corner teeth. small cups in middle teeth, and still smaller cups in nipper teeth; seven years old cups leave nipper teeth; eight years old, cups leave middle teeth; nine years old, cups leave corner teeth; at ten years old, dark groove will make its appear ance on the upper corner tooth; at fif- teen years old the groove will be half way down the upper corner tooth; at twenty-one years old the groove will be at the bottom. The groove alluded to will be found on the corner tooth of the upper jaw running down the middle of the tooth. When horse is from four teen days to six years old, judge by the appearance of both jaws; when from six to ten years, by the lower jaw; and when from ten to twenty-one years, by the groove in the upper jaw, The above is the surest way in the world to tell the correct age of a horse.

VALUABLE ADVICE
From Writer in the Boston Post Re-
 garding Raising Green Mountains.

From Writer in the Boston Post Re-
 garding Raising Green Mountains.
 An advertiser in the Bridgewater h. dependent offers for sale green mountain seed and eating potatoes for cents per bushel, which has reused the man on the Boston Post who knows all about farming to offer the following advice to prospective buyers:
 If you are not already supplied with green mountain seed and eating potatoes here's your chance to get both cheap.
 Any farmer possessing tract of low land or swamp should look into this. Let him try raising green mountains and after he has grown mountain scenery on his farm, summer boarders will flock to the old homestead. As we understand it, green mountains will grow rankly without care or cultivation. All you have to do is to plant the mountain seed in long rows or ranges and they will grow to lofty eminences without further attention. They don't even need to be watered-the warm summer rains will attend to that A bushel of green mountain seed is sufficient to plant sev- eral acres and the cost (seven cents per busheD is ridiculously low. Besides, barren, stony land that won't raise any thing else will raise mountains.

sions that have been asked concerning this old relic. ..... .. ....
 The outside diameter of the tree where the bark was taken off was seventeen inches; inside the bark (which was half all inch thick sixteen inches. r Close examination revealed the fact that the tree was ninety years old, and by counting the rings we found that it's diameter 53 years ago, when the inscrip- tion was cut, was 1211S inches and the tree was then S7 years old. This explains why the letters and figures were not obliterated more by the growth of the tree, as it increased in size only three and half inches in the last 53 years.
 It is interesting to note the growth that was made each year during the life of the tree. The first thirty rings aver age nearly quarter of m inch apart, showing 8 rapid growth. Then they began narrowing until at forty they were only sixteenth Of an inch apart, at 50 less, and theY'continue to diminish until beyond 80 it was difficult to count them.
 From this it is evident that white birch trees attain their growth, practi- cally, within the first half of their life, although they may live hundred years.

Says Secretary of Agriculture James
 Wilson at Meeting in New York.
 James Wilson, secretary of agriculture went to New York last week to partici- pate in an informal discussion of the food-cost problem and its relation to the farm. He said that conservation of the soil, both East and West, would deter. mine future prosperity and promised government aid in any state movement to increase the productivity and improve the condition of the soil. He spoke be- fore the New York Produce Exchange.
 "When Eastern men of all classes realize that future prosperity depends on the rejuvenation of soils, it will soon be done," said Mir. Wilson. eve can not afford to buy food from foreign countries. We must sec to it that our Western faSms produce enough, not only for home consumption, but also to sell abroad and square up the balances of trade"
 Preliminary steps toward forming a permanent organization which has for it's purpose the cultivation of abandoned farms in New York and other Eastern states were taken at the conference A committee of seventeen men prominent in the business and financial world as we'll as scientific agriculturists was named to take charge of the project. W. O. Brown, president of the New York Central Railroad, is chairman.
 The organization will urge men from cities to return to farms and will especially induce immigrants, who were farmers in their home countries. to settle on farms rather than to remain in the big towns.

 The town has "had offers of $2500 for the present library property" That is true. but to get this amount, or any other, the town must give a clear title to the property. which it cannot do at present, The town has no deed on thls property; it stands in the name of Edmund D. Lawrence. MT. Lawrence gave this lot and building to the town by word of mouth at a town meeting. to be used for library purposes. But does this entitle the town to the privilege of selling it? And if so. can a deed be made for verbal bequest of this kind. when the records show nothing to indi. cate that the property belongs to the town?
 There are other phases of the situation by which the town would be sadly the loser to make the change now under consideration, but why discuss further details until the town acquires a legal title to the property which it wants to sell? A. QUERY.

LETTER OF EXPLANATION
From the President of the Canaan
 Choral Society.

From the President of the Canaan
 Choral Society.
 EDITOR NEWS:
 l would like to say a word concerning the children's festival i'll behalf of the Choral society. There has been some misunderstanding as to the relation of this entertainment to the society. When the directors were making arrangements with Mrs. Pitblado for the continuance of her valuable services as accompanist society should promote one of the en- tertainments given by Miss Gelbart and Mrs. Pitblado as part payment for her services. In the success of this festival, consequently, the Choral society is di- rectly concerned.
 In discussing what should be the form of the entertainment given, the direct ors were greatly interested in the child ren's play and encouraged Miss Gelbart and Mrs. Pitblado to work it up here It was felt that this would not only be an entertainment of unique interest t" the public, but that it wouldbe of specli.i value to the children. They are getting. and will get, not only great deal of pleasure out of it, but they are also get ting some splendid training il expl, s- sion and grace. "a.,'
 Nothing of this kind has ever been given in Canaan, and the difficulties of giving it.in asmall.town were not realized by the directors or by the ladies. If the simple costuming lays an unexpected burden upon any we are sorry, but feel that if the mothers will attend some of the rehearsals they will realize some thing what it means to the children and will feel compensated for the trouble.
 For the Canaan Choral Society,

Hen in Windsor Selects an Icehouse as

Ten m WlndSor SeleCtS an tCenOuSe as
 a Hatchery.
 The theory that hens eggs must be kept at a uniform heat of 100 to l03 de- grees has been "knocked higher than a kite" by the performance of a Windsor biddy. She "stole" her nest in the ice- house, Tn the several inches of sawdust that covered the tons of ice beneath. Then she deposited fifteen eggs and at once got busy ill an effort to reproduce herself. She left the nest in due time with fifteen fine chicks. Although a white Plymouth Rock, more than half her hatch were of a barred variety. Quite likely the continual dampness in- cident to the ice-pack had much to do with the completeness of the hatch, since the eggs must now and then have become quite cool while biddy hunted food and water.
