Harbor.
The supper given last Wednesday even
ing by the f. l.. {. class of the Baptist
Sunday school was gratifying success 10
the boys of the class and their teacher,
Mrs. Harriet Curtis. The proceeds were
for the choir fund, and just cleaned up the
full amount subscribed by the class. The
teacher and class are grateful for the pat
ronage received.
The reception given last Friday evening
at Odd Fellows hall by Miss Emile
Young's dancing class was pretty affair.
The exhibition of dancing by the children
was greatly enjoyed, and showed correct
and careful instruction on the part OF
Miss Young. After, the children's exhlbi-
tion, the dancing became general, and
pleasant evening was spent.
The members of the ]. w. class of the
Methodist Sunday school are arranging
for social evening at the home of Walter

Refreshments will be served and short
program given. There will games for all,
and good time is assured A small fee
will be charged. Everyone is welcome.
Walter B. Horton, whose wife was Miss
Ida Barnes, formerly of Ellsworth, died
in Portland last week from injuries re-
ceived by a fall. MIR. Horton was EN-
ployed as engineer in the Baxter building
at Portland, and it was while engaged in
his duties in the engine room there that
he fell from the top OF boiler, fractaring
his skull. He is remembered here as hav-
ing been employed ON the steam dredger
which for several seasons worked In
Union river. He leaves a widow and in
FAINT son. The remains were brought here
Friday for interment.
Deputy-Sheriff John A. Stuart was
called to Phillips lake last week to in
vestigate the reported 1ooting Of cottages.
He found that six of the seven cottages at
the lake had been entered, very little
damage done, and few articles OF cloth
ing stolen. In one of the cottages there
was evidence that molasses candy had
been made. Deputy-Sherif Stuart be-
lieves it to have been the prank of boys.
The cottages at Phillips lake have been
broken into several times, often with
more serious damage and loss than this
time. The cottages are near the railroad,
the highway OF tramps, and there are no
shutters on the windows. Clothing, fire.
arms and canned goods thus exposed, and
the opportunity for warm bed, offer a
temptation which makes it surprising that
the camps are not broken into o:tener than
they are.

Life Without Microbes.

Microbes are not indispensable to all
life if they are indispensable to any.
The question has been definitely set
tied. A cage completely sterilized at
80 degrees was made and the open
ings of the cage closely stopped with
cotton and protected from the outside
by hermetically closed metallic cham
ber. Such manipulations as were nee
essary in opening the cage were made
by hands guarded by aseptc rubber
cloth. Into such a sterilized cage three
hens eggs were placed after having
been externally sterilized. The cage
was fitted with a glass pavilion or
chicken run, where the chickens could
develop during their six weeks sojourn
in the cage. In the cage were sterilized
air, pure water, sterilized sand and
sterilized feed. The experiment showed
that life does not depend upon mi
crobes, but that the vital work Of the
organism is easy and natural when
everything is sterilized.

TIGER PROOF HOMES.
Malay Houses, FraiI and Flimsy,
Sometimes Perch In Tree Tops.

Malay Houses, FraiI and Flimsy,
Sometimes Perch In Tree Tops.
The ordinary Malay house is built on
posts from five to seven feet high, but
one which I came across was perched
high up in tree. 1t was the home of
a man, his wife and family, and they
Informed me that it was placed in this
unusual situation so as to be out Of the
way Of the numerous tigers which then
infested the neighborhood.
AS tigers have been known to jump
eighteen feet in vertical height some
where about twenty feet is considered
to be the limit Of safety. The Malayan
house is fral and fimsy structure Of
sticks tied together with rattan thatch-
ed with palm leaves and walled with
plated bamboo or, as in this case, with
the bark Of trees.
1t is therefore an easy matter for
tiger with its great strength to break
into a house and attack the inhabitants.
Many instances Of this have been re-
corded in Malaga. In one well known
case a whole family were killed except
one man, who, climbing up into the
roof and thus escaping the notice Of
the tiger, was a Mortified observer Of
the cruel mauling and ultimate slaugh-
ter and deyouring Of his relatives

JOBS FOR THE INDECENT.
Swiss Method of Solving the Problem
of the Unemployed.

Swiss Method of Solving the Problem
of the Unemployed.
In Switzerland the people act upon
the theory that man who is unem-
plOyed is, If left to himself, liable to
become waste by being a subject of
charity and a tax upon the community.
Therefore the problem is considered as
an economic question.
The purpose is to assist the unfor-
tunate unemployed to secure work, not
only for the sake of his family, but in
the interests Of the state There is no
liberation for the loafer. Begging is
prohibited by the law, and vagrancy is
classified as a crime.
If an unemployed person does not
make serious effort to find work the
authorities will find it for him, and
he is compelled to perform it. If he
refuses he is placed in the workhouse,
where strict discipline is maintained
and every inmate is required to work
to his full capacity, receiving therefor
his board and lodging and from 5 to
10 cents q day in wages.
There are also institutions where
temporary employment is furnished to
persons out Of work, through no fault
of their own, and comfortable accom-
modations and some money compensa-
ton given until they can find more re-
munerative wages.-Chicago Tribune.

MURKY GREEN PETROLEUM.
Processes by Which II Is Converted
Into Refined Oil.

Into Refined Oil.
In it's original state petroleum is of q
murky green color. 1t is distilled in
pans with great furnaces blazing be-
meath them, and as the vapors arise
from the boiling liquid they are con-
veyed into pipes surrounded by cold
water in which they are condensed.
The first vapors condense into naph-
tina and those produced by further
heating give the burning oil. A very
small percentage of the crude oil put
into the pans or stills remains in the
form of tar, which by another process
is converted into paraffin and coke.
After distillation the refined oil is no
longer green, but is as transparent as
spring water and beautifully tinged
with purples and blues. 1t is not yet
ready for use, however, since it must
be washed" The fluid is emptied into
a large circular tank in which it is
treated with acids, these being poured
in and mixed with it by means Of pow
erful pressure from beneath.
When it has been well shaken it is
allowed to settle, and the acids then
separate from it and sink to the bot
tom Of the tank, taking with them
some of the tar that remained in the
OIL
The acids are then removed and the
oil is washed with salt water. Finally
it is bleached, and it is then ready for
the market.-Harper's Weekly.

A FossILIzED HUSBAND.
But Perhaps His Interior Was Harden
ed by Boarding House Fare.

But Perhaps His Interior Was Harden
ed by Boarding House Fare.
To the bride who is new before a
range her first biscuit is a most seri-
GUS undertaking. In recent case,
however, her first pancakes proved
more disastrous than all the green
hued soda biscuit ever baked by nov
ices at the art.
A young stenographer, recently mar
ried, took her husband home to board
with mamma. Mamma was real cook,
but the bride was not. However, she
was an artist in frying pancakes, which
she never ate herself because "the
greasy things just upset her." she said.
A few days ago she prevailed upon
her mother to permit her to make the
coffee and "some nice pancakes" for
her husbands breakfast. Daughter
was given full possession of the kitch-
en- so she could have all the credit.
The bridegroom ate heartily Of the
pancakes-in fact, he managed to con-
sumo all his wife cooked.
"What were you doing with this can
of plaster Of paris in here" asked the
mother an hour or so later.
"Can Of what?" replied the bride,
puzzled.
plaster Of paris" said her mother.
what made you take that down from
the shelfY'
By that time the young bride had
bounded into the kitchen.
'Is that plaster of paris?" she shrek
ed. "It's in a baking powder can.
Why, used that to bake dearie's pan
cakes. Heavens, he must be getting
mummified by this time" And she
promptly had Mysteries.
Grabbing a scarf, the bride, now pale
and excited, ran for the corner drug
store.
whats the antidote for plaster of
paris?" she walled at the clerk
"Never heard of any," he replied.
."You don't mean paris green, do you?
Who's been eating it?'
"My husband. And the worst of it
all is that fed it to him too"
Brand new husband too," mused the
pharmacist, soto voce. "How much
did he get of it,"
Between a dessert and a tablespoon
full, think"
"Well, let him have it. 1t will not
hurt him. You might give him an
emetic."
The distressed wife got little consola-
tion out Of these instructions. She also
could see that the druggist was amused
-heartless, unfeeling wretch that he
was. A brighter idea seized the bride,
and she ran for the telephone.
"Dearie, you are filed with plaster
Of paris. Run for the doctor and get
an emetic before it hardens in you,"
she shouted.
OF course the other end of the con-
versation could not be heard, but from
the number Of times she repeated her
command it was plain to be seen that
he was puzzled. Then she explained
how she had fed the plaster to him.
He said he was feeling fine, but she
made him promise to run for a doctor
nstanter.-Kansas City Journal.

Relics of PilIories.

Though the pillory has been abolish
ed, there are still to be found in vari-
Gus parts Of rural England relics Of
this old time. method Of punishment
One Of the most complete examples
may be seen within a few miles of the
metropolitan border. In the pictur-
esque village Of Roydon, Essex, not
only are the old stocks and whipping
post still preserved, but close beside
them stands also the wooden "cage"
in which the roysterer of bygone days
was incarcerated. Is there another

A cHANcERY ROMANCE.
Helping Friend, He Unearthed For

Helping Friend, He Unearthed For
tune For Himself.
Perhaps there is no more curious
chapter in the history of the chancery
courts than that Of two Pittsburgh
men. The first had claim to small
estate abroad, but he did not have the
money to pay the claim agency to
make a search, so he got friend to
back him.
This friends name was Peterman,
and the money he advanced was like a
grub stake-he was gambling on his
friends claim proving up.
One day when Peterman was at the
claim agency Office he came upon this
advertisement in the agency files: ''Pe-
terman (Albertus), musician, born in
Amsterdam in 1929, son Of Charles
Frederick and Henrietta Suzanna Gas
man. Left for Liverpool in 1856. He
is sought for Inheritance by M. Con-
tot, avocat, 81 Boulevard st. Germain,
Paris"
That was the inception of the ia
nous "Kinsey docks" case, the name
coming from the fact that the original
Peterman was last seen at Kinsey
docks, in Liverpool. The claim agency
took the matter in hand, traced Peter
mans lineage back and enabled him
to establish a good claim to an inher-
itance of 100000.
That was a case Of fortune being
thrust upon a man. - Lewis Edwin
