Worried Hinh Official.

Custody of the great seal is one
of the most important duties under
taken by the British lord chancellor
in return for his $4,000 year. This
responsibility gave Lord Brougham an
unhappy time during his tenure of
the chancellorship. When staying
with the duke of Bedford, in Scotland,
some of the women in the house
amused themselves by abstracting the
seal from Brougham's room. The
chancellor was SO frantic when he
discovered the loss that his tormen-
tors promised to restore it on condi'
tons. So they blindfolded him, hid
the seal in the drawing room, and
told him to find it. guiding him in his
search by a tune on the piano, which
grew louder when he drew near 1t
and softer when he drew away. AZ.
ter an hours scrambling the seal
was found in a tea caddy.

MANY HOUSES OLD MAlDISH
Seems to Pretty Well Express the
Idea Conveyed.

One Of the most repe1lent houses In

not one streak of color which was not
fright" Ida NJ. Tarbell writes in the
American magazine. 1t was MASTER
piece of correct furnishing, but it was
curiously limiting and sitting. You
could not escape the scheme. The in
elasticity of it hampered sociability-
and there grew on one, too, a sense of
unfitness. Its clothes were an ana
chronism! They were the only thing
which did not belong.
, There is an old fashioned adjective
which describes better than any other
this preoccupation with things, which
so often prevents a woman's coming
to an understanding of the heart Of
her business. 1t is old maidish. 1t
has often been the pathetic fate of
single women 10 live alone. To min
lister to themselves becomes their &C.
cupation. The force of their natures
turns to their belongings. II in strait
ened circumstances they gave their
souls to spotless floors, If rich to flaw
less mahogany and china, 10 perfect
household machinery. Wherever you
find in women this perversion-old
maidish is perhaps the most accurate
word for her-it is a sacrifice Of the
human to the material A house with
out sweet human litter, without the
trace of friends who have no sense
of beauty, but who love to give, with
out the scars of use and the dust of
running feet-what is it but a meat
less she'll?
This devotion to things" may easily
become a ghoulish passion.

INDIVIDUAL FACTOR IN HEALTH
Something to Which In This Genera.
ton Too Little Attention Has
Been Devoted.

The greatest event In medicine was
the discovery of the germ origin of o
large number Of diseases.
That discovery has already enabled
the world to stamp out several cpl.
denies, and in time will enable us to
stamp out all contagious diseases.
But for that splendid advance, a
price was paid-as always. A part
of that price was the neglect of the
individual factor in resistance to dis
ease.

SHOULD SHOW BRIGHT SIDE
Mr.. Balfour's Idea Of Literature Will
Be Endorsed by Many of His
Readers.

Mr.. Balfour, in proposing the toast
ner of the Royal Literary fund at the
whitehall rooms recently, said:
Il think that literature is less cheer
full now than 1t was when / was young,
1t may be because i am growing old
that ] take this gloomier view of lit
erary effort, but still i personally
like the spring day and bright sun
and the birds singing, and If there be
a slower or a storm, that it should be
simply passing episode in the land
scape, to be followed Immediately by
a return to brilliant sunshine, While
that is what prefer of course admit
that the great, the picturesque, the
striking storm is a magnificent sub
iect for artistic treatment and is
we'll worthy of the efforts of great
artist.
II am not quite SO sure, however,
about the dreary day in which nothing
is seen, in which the landscape does
not change, in which there is q steady
but not violent downpour OF rain,
DO not say that that ought not 10 De
treated as subject of literature, but
it is not what l ask of literature.
What 1 ask from literature mainly
is that in world that is full of sad
ness and full of difficulty, in which
you come through the day wear
led, in which you come back from
your work wearied, you should find
in literature something which repre-
sents life which Is true in the higher
sense of truth or what is imagined to
be true, but which does cheer us.
Therefore when ] ask you to drink the
toast of literature l shall myself soto
voee say not literature merely, but
that literature in particular which
served the great cause of cheering US

cause the mollusk to cover IT with
nacre and make it the nucleus Of q
pearl; but the largest part of the an
nual pearl-crop of the world is due to
parasites that normally pass a part
Of their life-cycle within the shell OF
the pearloyster.
Minute spherical larvae of marine
worms known as Cestodes become en-
bedded in the soft tissues, as many as
forty having been found in one Cey-
lon oyster. AS the result of irrita.
ton, the oyster forms protecting
sac about the intruder, and then, if
the larva dies, its body is gradually
converted into carbonate of lime, and
the pearly mass proceeds to grow
with the shell.
If the larva lives, it may pass into
the body of the strengthened trigger
fishes which prey on the pearloysters,
there undergoing further development
Ultimately it reaches the body of the
great rays, which in turn eat the trig-
gerfishes. In the rays the worms at.

REAL ORIGIN OF THE PEARL
Science Has Rudely Shattered Poetic
Idea That Has Been Held
For Centuries.

For many centuries, even until COM
paratively recent times, it was the
common belief that pearls were drops
Of dew that gained entrance into the
she'll Of an oyster, and were there
transpired into lustrous gema. Arab
and Indian divers still believe that at
certain seasons oysters come to the
surface and suck in the rain-drops
that later become pearls. Science,
however. has rudcly shattered this
poetic fancy, and discovered the real
origin to be a worm. DR.. Hugh NJ.
Smith gives some interesting infor-
nation on this subject in the National
Geographic Magazine.

mud or shell, a piece of seaweed or

NEEDED THAT OTHER ROOT
Patients Of Dentists VIII Appreciate
Story of "Nerve" That Comes

In Kansas City there dwells man
whose boast is that he has "the

The man with 1.-The nerve" suffered
from the pangs OF an aching molar
and at last sought out his friend the
dentist and announced that the tooth
must come out. The man with the

suggested that filling would relieve
the agony. but to no avail.

the nerve man." but want to warn

"I1l get that tooth the very first

the patients retort.

The professional man motioned his
patron to the operating chair and
selected the proper forceps. The cold
steel clamped firmly IN the tooth, and
with a slightly rocking motion the
dentist began 70 pull The tooth held
firm and it looked as If the dentists

No word or sign had been given by
the sufferer who then raised from

in his fingers and gazed at its three
roots in contemplation.
There was tone of real sadness
in his voice as he regretfully said:

WEST BRATTLEBORO.


Mrs. Lorena Howard Boyd died this,
Friday, morning at 8 o'clock in the home
of her son. Ruel G. Boyd, after a very
severe illness of four weeks. Mrs Boyds
maiden name was Lorena Jane Howard,
one of eight children of Burt and Mary
Burr Howard. She was born in Dover
Aug. 81 1910, and attended the schools
of that town and Wiliamsville. She was
married to George b. Boyd of Dover,
March 10, 1861, in the church at Dover
Centre. Fo" few years they lived in
Brattleboro- and then returned to Dover,
where they lived until Mr.. Boyd's death
in 1898. She remained on the farm with
her son, r. G. Boyd, until seven years
ago, when they went to Brooklyn. Her
son returned to this town and Mrs Boyd
spent the winters with her son, Dana h.
Boyd, of Brooklyn, and summers with
her son, r. G.. Boyd.
Mrs. Boyd is the last of her fathers
family. Her sister, Mrs. Abbie Bissell,
died last April in Keene. One brother,
John Howard was in the Civil war and
died in New Orleans. Mrs, Boyd was a
member of the Baptist church of Brat
tleboro, and 1t can be said of her that
she exemplified her Christianity in her
daily life. She was a devoted wife and
mother and a good neighbor, and her
home was the place of her greatest en-
joyment, She spent six weeks in Dover
in the summer with friends and took
much pleasure in visiting the scenes of
her youth. She leaves the two sons men
toned and one granddaughter, Mrs. Harry
Turner of Brooklyn.
The funeral will be held in the home
OF her son, r. G. Boyd, Sunday morning
at $50 O'clock Rev. DIR. John r. Cow Of
