Saved by q Wittieiam.

In February, 1844, when John Tyler was president, the Princeton made a trial trip down the Potomac under Cap tain R. F. Stockton. On board at the time were President Tyler, members of the cabinet. other notables and a large number of women. As was cus- tOmary at that time. salute was to be fired while passing Mount Vernon. Just as it was discharged the gun ex- plOded at the breech. killing five per sons and wounding several others. Those killed were Abel F. Upshur, sec reeary of state; Thomas w. Gilmer. secretary of the navy; Commodore Kennon, chief of the bureau of con. struction of the navy; Virgil Maxcy. ex-minister to The Hague, and MT. Gardiner, former senator from New York.
 William Wilkins. then secretary of war. was saved by a wittlcism. See ing the gun about to be fired. he ex. claimed jokingly. Though secretary of war. do not like this firing. and be- lieve shall run" He thereupon left his position directly beside the gun and had just reached safety when the bxplosiOn occurred.

Exciting Employment For Skilled Se- cret Service Men.
 The tracing of counterfeit bills back to the persons responsible for their ls- sue Is a curious and exciting employ ment. The expert assigned by the government to this work are among the most skillfuI members of the se cret service. The protection of the currency depends in large measure up on their efficiency. and the pains they take are almost infinite. The follow ing case is one Illustrating the diff culties which the secret service people meet and overcome:
 bank clerk in Cleveland had de. tected a counterfeit twenty dollar bill in the deposit of a small retail grocer. An expert was sent for and under. took the case.
 He found that the grocer had re- ceived the bill from shoe dealer, who had 1t from a dentist, who had 1t from somebody else. and so on. until the secret service man finally traced the bad note to an invalid woman who had used it to pay her physician. When questioned this woman said that the money had been sent her by her brother. who lived in New Orleans.
 The sleuth looked up the brothers antecedents and soon became con- vinced that he was the man wanted. The brother, however. soon proved to the satisfaction of the secret service man that his suspicious were unfound- ed. Indeed. it appeared that the mon ey had been received by the New Or leans man in part payment for rent of a house he owned in TittSburg. While the sleuth was q bit discOur aged. he couldn't give over the ease when he had gone so far. so he took the next train for Pittsburg.
 The tenant of the house In Pitts burg proved to be a travelling Oculist who spent most of his time in the mid dle west. The secret service man had the good luck. however. to catch him just as he had returned from a trip, and the man at once recognized the bad bill as one that had been given him by patient in Cleveland. the very point whence the sleuth started.
 The patient was a boss carpenter The secret service man got his address from the ocuIist and went right after the new clew. At this point he had premonition that something was going to happen. and he wasn't disappointed.
 The carpenter. an honest old fellow. said that he had received the bill from a certain Parker. The said Parker was the small grocer in whose bank deposit the counterfeit had turned up. The expert flew to the grOcer's as quickly as a cab could take him and found it closed. He had left town.
 Afterward it was shown beyond question that the grocer was the agent of an organized band of counterfeiters. His shop was mere blind. That the bill which he gave the carpenter should get back into his own funds after travelling all over the continent was one of those miracles of chance for which there is no explanation Chicago Record-Herald.

A Burning Glass In the Eve.

In the front part of each of our eyes 1B convex lens of great power and clearness. It acts exactly like a burn. ing glass. If person was made to look at the sun. say, for half a minute his eye would actually start to burn up. The lens would focus the rays of the sun on the retina. and that part of the eye would immediately scorch and later would burn to crisp. This can happen. however, only when one looks at the sun directly or in a mirror. If one holds pin between the sun and the eye and looks at the pin. although the sun is in direct line with the eye and although it's rays are entering the eye, the eye Is not hurt, because the rays are not focused inside the eyeball. This is the wonderful property the lens has. that of focusing objects at differ ent distances. The means by which 1t does this are it's power to change it's Chicago Record Herald

A Dean Ramsay Story.

Dean Ramsay's memoirs contain an anecdote of an old woman of Starth- spey. Just before her death she sol emnly instructed her grandnephew, "Willy. I'm deein', and as yell hae the charge O a l have, mind. now. that as much whisky is to be used at my flu neral as there was at my baptism"
 Willy. having no record of the quan- t1ty consumed at the baptism. decided to give every mourner as much as he wished. with the result that the fu- neral procession. having to traverse ten miles to the churchyard on a short November day. arrived only at night fall. Then it was discovered that the mourners. halting at a wayside inn, had rested the coffin on a dike and left it there when they resumed their journey. The corpse was a day late in arriving at the grave.

Sunday TravelinU.

Old time acts of parliament in Great Britain aimed to stop Sunday travel ing In 1869. for example. two men were found guilty of the crime of walking from Bristol to Bath on a Sunday and were at once fined 20 shil- lings t$4.SOI each. All business was at standstill on a Sunday. Nothing was allowed to be sold except milk. For all the traders of England the In1lkman. and the milkman alone. was allowed to pursue his calling for the whole seven days of the week.

Interest In Ancient Days.

As rule. the ancients drowned upon the idea of interest. They called it usury. and. except in the case of wardships and trusts, when the law insisted upon money being usefully in- vested they looked upon the man who lived by investments as bad char acter and his trade as A disreputable one. Even Aristotle, most advanced thinker in many respects. talked most energetically against money. calling it q 'barren thing, which could produce nothing without violating nature" It was not until the crusades that the money lender had any standing or re- spectability in Europe.-New York American

Middlebury joins with all Vermont in
mourning the death of Fletcher d.
Proctor. The people of the Green
Mountains had no truer friend, no
worthier example of manhood, no more
patriotic and devoted servant. He was
the best of Governors, not only because
he was keen-seeing and hard-working,
but because his eye was single to the
true welfare of the State, and because
his heart was pure in loyal endeavor
for its uplift.
They accused him of the ambition of
a political boss, but those who knew
him best understood that he never took
public place or accepted the mantle
of leadership except from high sense
of duty. His choice always was to
serve in the background.
Simple as child, loyal to friend to
the last, kind-hearted, generous, devout,
strong Vermont will not find his like
in many day.
AS trustee of Middlebury college, as
in every other trust, he was faithful
and efficient. The college had no wiser
or more helpful friend. No detail of its
administration was too small for him to
bestow his best thought upon it, even
in the midst of pressing cares.
He was man by whom young men
learned to be more manly, and from
whom they never learned mean or
ignoble thing.
We are gratified for the memory of
his noble life, and his taking away in
the prime of his years will remain one
of the most inscrutable of providences
as long as any of those who knew him
and loved him are spared in life.

Sandwiched in between state and
county fairs and shining with lesser
glory are the little agricultural gather
ings held here and there throughout the
state by the local oranges. Here the
keepers of hocks and herds and the
tillers of the soil, bring the firstlings of
their focks, without spot or bemish,
and the first fruits of the land, even as
in the DAYS of Cain and Abel, though
there is no sacrifice about it, but
spirit of friendly rivalry and pride.
The boys and girls have hand in the
affair, too, the boys bringing their pet
calves, tame chickens and rabbits and
the girls showing womanly pride IN
samples of needlework, tiny jars OF
preserves and jellies made for the
occasion under mothers supervision the
farmers get together to talk over the
success of certain crops, methods of
farming, ETC., and the women gladly
bring the best of home cooked food and
get up old fashioned dinners that make
you think of the meals mother served
when you were boy. All premiums
are honorary and no owner of prize
winning stock at the state fair goes
home with more genuine satisfaction
than the boy who leads his pet Jersey
calf home with blue tag indicating it
to be winner of first honorary premiu m
at the Grange fair. These agricultural
meetings are among the best agencies
to create and foster an interest in farm
and home life in the boys and girls who
are growing up on our Vermont farms.
