NOW TIE "PETR0LEUM FACE"
Somewhat Undesirable Cast Of Fea-
lures Said to Re Becoming Pre-
valent in London.

Londoners, according to their indi-
vidual temperaments, will be Mortified
or amused to learn that they have pc
troleum faces
The petroleum face was discovered
by an American visitor to London, who
lays the blame for its existence on the
sitting motor-omnibuses which cause
us to screw up our faces as though
they were not there
From observation of a crowded part
of the city passed daily by dozens Of
motor-omnibuses the Daily Mirror
gathered definition of the petroleum
face.
The petroleum face is first of all alb
solutely devoid of mirth-no passen
ger on a motor-omnibns ever seems to
smile, and rarely speaks.
The petroleum face is screwed up
and wrinkled and anxious. The nasal
organ appears to be trying TO avoid
shifting the inevitable petrol; the eyes
are strained. as though the owner is
suffering some fear that "the worst
may happen.
People on the streets with petro-
leum faces fly in all directions to avoid
humiliation by motor-omnibuses or to
escape the perfume the venice exudes
The petroleum face is hard face,
it has no bloom upon it; nor has it
any soft curves. Taxicab men and
motorists are all suffering from it
They are examples of new, machine
made type of man.

Hens Not a German Industry.

Germany pays comparatively little
attention to poultry raising. For the
greater part of its supply of eggs and
poultry the empire is dependent upon
Italy France, Belgium and the Bal
kan States. The imports into Ger
many of eggs and poultry have in
creased marvelously since 1872, in
which year the combined imports Of
these two items amounted to only
$500 600 In 1880 they had increased
to IS, 100000, and in 1907, $37Sf5.7 $50
worth Of imported eggs and $12,730, 800
worth of imported poultry were con-
sumed, with exports that same year
amounting only to $313,500 for eggs
and s211, $50 cor poultry.
Farming people of Germany look
upon poultry raising as an unprofit-
able industry and the average Ger
man farmer considers it waste of
money to raise or purchase food for
his hens or to provide his fowls with
satisfactory quarters. And dark cor
ner Of barn or stable is usually con-
sidered amply good enough, and the
fowls must find themselves all the
food they require Household scraps
IN most cases are fed to the hogs It
is needless to say that under such
conditions poultry raising Is inded ur-
profitable.

Friday morning, July %, Mrs. Ransom
s.. Morgan passed away.
Deceased was very i'll in Boston during
the spring months, but was to all appear
ances recovering and came home looking
fairly well. A few days after reaching
here she was again attacked by the old
malapy and on the 22nd, just fourteen
days later, she passed away. She had
suffered from heart trouble for years, but
with constant loving thought and care
she had been .ided over the attacks. All
that love and care could do was lone for
her in her last illness, but she was not to
be given to us again and so went home.
Her happy, cherry laugh and ways will
be missed; ever looking on the bright
side OF life and so chasing away the
shadows for herself and for others.
The funeral services were held at her
home Sunday afternoon and q goodly
company of friends gathered to pay last
respects to one whom they loved. The
arrangements were admirably carried out
by Wallace Campbell and the service was
conducted by the Rev. W. H. Watson,
her pastor, who spoke ittingly and fsel-
ingly OF her loss and of the great grief
that had come to her husband and
friends. She was buried in the Rochester
cemetery amid loving touches of faithful
hands and hearts.
Friends from away to attend her funer-
al were her sister, Miss Clara Griffin, and
her cousin, Miss Julia Coole OF Glens

Death Of Harold E. HODGES.

Harold E. Hodges, youngest son OF
Charles l.. and Lucy 8. Hodges, died In
the early morning OF Friday, July %.
His malady, a joint attack OF appendicitis
and pneumonia, had lasted but one
week. His age was p years. He was
born and had always lived here, excent
while attending Vermont academy at
Saxtons River and while employed the
past year at the Sargent Osgood & Roun-
dy foundry at Randolph. The funeral
Saturday afternoon at the parents home,
at which Rev. Robert Clark oficiated,
was attended by relatives from Boston
and Chicago. Interment was here.
The young man who has been taken
from us was still in training for the seri-
Gus work Of life. Because of the lack OF
years., Of material accomplishment there
had been little, but OF promise there was
much. He was working for his first en-
ployers, and to their entire satisfaction.
In such high esteem was be held that a
member Of the firm has said, ave all felt
that one day Mr.. Hodges would be our
right hand man."
He had started right; be was a member
of the church, OF the Brotherhood end OF
the Y. NJ. c. A. Sincerity, earnestness
and enthusiasm we're the leading traits Of
his character. His many friends among
young and old bear witness to his attrac-
tive personality. And those friends will
take delight in thinking, that, had be
been spared, he would have become a
strong and influential man OF affairs.
