BY the annual report of Miss Lotta
Feek. librarian Of the Pendleton pub
lie library, it is shown that during
the past year 1878 volumes were
used by the patrons of the library
during the year. The annual report
is given below but the explanation is
made by Miss Flech that the report
does not deal with the money from
the city tax nor from the Sturgis
fund, the financial statement being
merely a statement of the desk fl
nances:

A LIMESTONE BOULDER.
The Third Vermont Marker Is Not
Of Meteoric Origin.

The boulder which marks the site
of the enlistment of the Third regi-
ment at the Fair Ground has at
tracted much attention because of
it's peculiar composition and it has
even been intimated that it was of
meteoric origin. Some of our local
biologists became interested in the
matter and sent a small specimen
of the stone to the state geologist,
Prof. G. H. Perkins of Burlington
and our readers will be interested
in his report which follows:
f'The specimen of the boulder APP
pears to be silicious limestone
which contains some mica and quite
little iron. think it is probable
that the protuberances are largely
iron. It is not in any way meteoric
or like a meteor in appearance or
character, nor is any more like lig-
mite, which is imperfect coal.
Judging from the small sample
seen I should think that the stone
is simply bit of sort of limestone
which is found in many places in
eastern Vermont

Dean Victim Of
Heart Disease

New Haven, Aug. 2S-News was
received here yesterday of the death
of Prof. Edward Lewis Curtis, D. D..
Yale divinity school, and formerly
dean, while on board ship on the way
from Castine to Rockland, Me. Pro-
lessor Curtis was on his way home
after vacation spent in Maine. His
death was due to heart disease and
came as a complete surprise.
Professor Curtis was accompanied
by his wife and Professor and Mrs.
Philip E. Browning of this city. He
was born in Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct.
10, 1853. He was a son of Rev. Will
liam Scranton Curtis, who was at one
time president of Knox College, Him
Hamilton college. He graduated from
Yale in 1874 and from Union Theo-
logical seminary in 1879. He studied
in Germany from 1879 to 1881.
In 1886 he received an honorary de-
gree of Phi. D. from Hanover college,
Indiana. and five years later D. d.
degree from Yale. On April 81, 1882,
he was married to Miss Laura E. Ely
a daughter of Rev. b. E. S. Ely
Professor Curtis was an instructor
at Ottumwa, Ia, from 1881 to 1886.
was professor of Old Testament liter
azure and Exegesis at Mccormick

FIRE CHIEF RECOVERING
NICELY AND WILL BE
ON DUTY AGAIN SOON

Fire Chief Edward Mooney is re-
covering nicely from the hurts sus-
tanned when his automobile slowed and
hit tree on the way to the fire at
the garbage reduction plant Saturday
morning.
The chief is able to sit up and will
be out of the house in a few days,
his doctor thinks.
The chiefs car. which is. at the Lo-
comobile factory. will be repaired and
in the hands of Chauffeur Searles,
ready for service, tomorrow mornin.
At the garbage plant today it was
stated that it is impossible to tell
just how soon the plant will be in
commission again. That depends on
the length of time reqpsred to get the
material for new conveyors to replace
the burned ones. In the meantime the
city garbage will be buried on the
town farm.

To see horse when out at pasture
rolling on the ground and endeavoring
to turn over on his back is a common
sight, but how many people have no
ticed that in doing this he observes
an invariable rule? The rule is that
he always rolls over either at the first
or third attempt-never at the second
and more than three attempts are
never made. In other words, If the
horse succeeds In rolling over at the
first try, well and good-that satisfies
him. But il the first attempt is fail
ure the second one always is Then
he either rolls quite over at the third
or gives It up. He never makes a
fourth. II horses are rolling ON slop-
ing ground they usually roll uphill.
This is more easy Of explanation than
the strange custom regulating the
number Of attempts. AS to this no
adequate reason has ever been offered.
Will those ingenious people who tell us
why dog turns around before lying
down and why ducks walk behind
each other in string instead Of
abreast explain why horse never
makes four attempts to roll over and
never succeeds at the second lex
change.

began the first pair when he was TWEEN
ty-three years old, and when he In
fshed the second pair he was seventy
three. Excepting the three statues out

doors represent his labors for half
century. These doors, declared by
Michaelangelo SIT to be the gates Of

A lJsAf,,T pAe%

Despite the fact that the spider, next
to the mouse, Is most violently stimu-
lating to feminine sensitiveness, it Is
an insect Of very good character. It
feeds exclusively upon other freshly
killed insects, and they are the kinds
denounced by sanitary authorities, the
housefy being its favorite quarry.
His service in reducing the numbers
of this pest is considerable, because
the spider is always busy, and he is
present in countless numbers. says
Leslie's Weekly. The reason why he
is not more frequently seen is that he
is retiring in his habits and shuns hui
man society quite as much as that
shuns him. He seldom bites anything
but food, and even when in self de-
tense he does assert himself the result
Is no worse than mosquito bite or
bee sting. The touching story Of ''The
Spider and the Fly" was evidently in
tended to invite sympathy for the fly.
