For years Rossini's body rested
In Pere Lachaise, and then city
OF Florence asked that it might be
transferred to the Church of the
Holy Cross In that city, where the
bodies of Galilei, Michelangelo.
Machiavelli, Alferi and other great
Italians are entombed. Consen'
was received from the municipality,
but the masters widow, Dona
Olympia, would consent to the
translation only ON condition that
when her time came her body
might be placed next to that of her
husband. This request was bluntly
denied, for the reason that only
Italians "who had achieved great
ness" could rest there. In 1878 the
widow, died and before her death
consented in writing to the removal
OF her husbands body to Florence,

THE VOICE IN THE DARK.
\ Memory Of Pickett's Brigade and
Niqht Attack.

Some years after the civil war q
gathering of veterans of both sides
was exchanging "reminiscences at 9
banquet given by the board of trade
of New York, writes Mrs. La Sale
Corbell Pickett in Lippincott's
The presiding officer was Colonel
j. j. Philips of the Ninth Virginia
regiment, Pickett's division. He
was speaking of night attacks and
recalled one in particular, not be-
cause of its startling horrors, but
because of peculiar circumstance,
almost resulting in the compulsory
disobedience of orders-the obey
ing, as it were, of a higher com
mand than that of earth. ;
''The point of attack had been
carefully selected" said Colonel
Phillips, "the awaited dark night
had arrived, and my command was
to fire when General Pickett should
signal the order.
"There was that dread, indescrib-
able stiffness, that weird, ominous
sience. that always settles over
everything before a fight. You felt
that nowhere in the universe was
there any voice or motion.
Suddenly TIE awesome silence
was broken by the sound of a deep,
full voice rolling over the black
void like the lllcws Of a great sea,
directly in line With our guns. 1t
was singing tive old hymn, Jesus,
Lover of My Soul.'
81 have heard that grand old
music many times in circumstances
which intensified its impressive
ness, but never had it seemed so
solemn as when it broke the still
ness in which we waited for the or
der to fire. Just as it was given
there rang through the night the

A SEA TRAGEDY AVERTED.

With the Titanic disaster still fresh in
the minds of the public, the escape of
the passengers of the City of Rockland
seems all the more lucky. The terrible
loss of life on the Titanic was due to lack
Of boat equipment, but could not be du-
plicated on the Rockland because the boat
capacity far exceeded the passenger list.
This was something more than luck; it
was foresight.
According to all accounts, although
there was much confusion on board,
there was no panic and the passengers
and crew rose to the. occasion as best
they could. The bulkheads saved the
vessel from sinking, but the Rockland
had no wireless, and there is something
which should be remedied. She had,
however, enough lifeboats and in general
was we'll prepared to meet the crisis.
The lessons to be learned hardly differ
from those pressed home by the Titanic.
The accident was due to the fog, and
fogs cannot be controlled by human
agency. That vessel should crash into
another occasionally despite the greatest
of care is one of the inevitable chances
of ocean travel and the only wonder is
that so few of them occur. Boston

Gov. Foss of Massachusetts has ap-
pointed John C. Sherman of Brookline
as his private secretary to fill the va
cancy caused by the appointment of his
former secretary, Dudley M. Holman
of Taunton, as member of the Indus
trial Accident Board. Mr.. Sherman has
been associated with the governor for
several years in business affairs, and
during the governors term of office has
been looked upon as his confidential ad-
wiser. He was in charge of the Foss
"bureau of experts" during the investi-
cation which the governor caused to be
made last year of the State departments
and institutions.
Mr.. Sherman was born at Bucksport,
Me-, in 1871, and was educated in the
common schools in Bangor, Me-, and
Washington, D. C. In 1882 1891 he was
a student in Victoria University, Eng
land. He was deputy United States con-
sui at Liverpool under his father, Thomas
H. Sherman. In 1885 he studied at
the Massachusetts Institute Of Technol-
ogy, graduating with the class of 1895.
In 1896 he took postgraduate course
at Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore;

sey's Magazine, assistant editor OF
Youths Companion and publishing agent
for numerical and manufacturing con-
Germs. At present he has private office
in Boston for compilation and publca-
ton of commercial booklets, mainly for
engineering and manufacturing concerns.

A GREAT DEAL TO EVERYTHING

A letter received by the writer from
a friend in California recalled the fact
that there is great deal to everything.
This friend is a progressive Republican,
one of the kind who are supposed to
favor the State wide primary, and yet
he was strong in his denunciatlon of its
working il his State. He said it was a
device of the Governor by which few
thousand longshoremen and |. w. VS..
could control the Presidential electors
and urged the Observer to fight against
it.
And some people in Maine have found
tons differ but little from those of the
caucus and convention; that members of
the so called old guard got nominated as
old-system. Senator Sanborn was a
candidate for denomination in this coun-
ty, going before the people on his record
ton, but was defeated by his party as
thoroughly as if it had been done by
delegates in county convention.
The Californian also found there was
more to woman suffrage than he had
supposed. He wrote; "Give the woman
the ballot because 1t is right, but don t
expect too much from them. We
thought they would hold this town dry.
but they were deceived by false lights
and Cotton went wet by $50, since which
time instead of times growing better
they have grown steadily worse"
The latter statement does not indicate
that the sale Of liquor improves business.
We have also noticed that when Cali
fornia towns advertise their advantages
they frequently include that of mo sa-
looms. Piscataquis Opinion.

A TWELVE-YEAR-OLD GIRL WHO Is
FAMOUS FOR MAKING BREAD.

According to the current issue of Farm
and Fireside the extension department
of the Iowa State College of Agriculture
has been sending out bulletins to the
thousands Of girls in their State Girls
Club, teaching them, among other
things, how to make bread and how to
judge bread. Then. as close for the
years work, girls of the State came to
the college during the winter short
course and baked bread there to see who
could make the best loaf of bread.
The article goes on to say:
"a number of girls tried, and their
bread was credit to the instruction
which they had received. The winner,
Lois Edmonds, of Page County, Iowa, is
but twelve years old. She is a happy,
wholesome, sensible little country girl Of
that marked ability which is not unusual
in the best country homes. Her bread
scored ninety-three points out of pos
sible hundred. which is considered very
high record.
Lois used the recipe which was sent
out to the girls by the Extension Depart
ment. She used flour manufactured in
her home county. The recipe is as
follows:
Two tablespoonful of butter, one
tablespoonful of sugar, two cupfuls of
scalded milk, one tablespoonful of salt
and half cake of yeast Compressed
Dissolve the yeast-cake in four table
spoonfuls of water that is no warmer
than fresh milk Scald the milk. Place
sugar, salt and butter in breakdown.
Add the milk when it is no warmer than
fresh milk Add the dissolved yeast.
Begin to add flour gradually, and beat
thoroughly as the flour is added. Beat
out all the Jumps, and make the dough
look smooth. Add flour until dough can
be worked without sticking to hands or
board.
"Knead lightly and with a quick
motion Of the hands until the dough is
elastic and you hear a swapping, crack
ing sound. Place the bread in bowl,
and cover with a towel. Keep warm
never hot and never cold. Let it rise,
until it has doubled in size. Then knead
again, and make into two loaves. Set
the loaves in a warm place, and allow
them to double in size. The oven should
be hot enough to brown piece of letter.
paper in from eight to ten minutes. A
loaf this size should bake about fifty
minutes, and the oven should be cooler
during the last fifteen minutes"
Lois is such little girl that she had
to get on her knees on the stool in the
cooking laboratory in order to reach to
knead her bread. At the Page County
Industrial Exposition she had the best
cake baked by girl under fourteen.

HADLEY A BIG MAN.

The man who came out Of the Chi
cago republican national convention
with the greatest honors was Cover
nor Hadley Of Missouri. Hadley was
an enthusiastic friend of Colonel
Roosevelt and his floor manager. He
performed his work so cleverly-and
at the same time so ~fairIy-that even
the opponents of Roosevelt conceived a
strong admiration for the Missourian.
When the Roosevelt bolt was finally
ripe-Hadley, the strongest supporter
Roosevelt had-called a halt. He pos
itively declined to wander off after
strange gods. He was for Colonel
Roosevelt-but first of all he was a
republican. He had gone to Chicago
hoping to nominate Roosevelt-but
falling in that he was too manly to
bolt a convention which he had
gone into with the nore ~ ~-.
results.
Hadley today stands ace high with
the average republican Of the United
States. Many of them will regret that
he was not nominated himself for the
presidency. A whole lot more gill
keep him in mind for the next four
years-and ne will be heard from in
1915. Hadley seems to be presidential
size.

THE COW.
-FGAB.G

Some one has said that the COW was
the foster mother OF the human race.
The following tribute to the cow by
Col. F. w. Wood, who says she is a
boon to mankind, will be appreciated
by the public:
OF all the animal friends of man, she
is the greatest. To her we owe the
most. If / were to take from the din
ner table what the cow has placed
there / would take the u Of milk wait
ing at baby's chair. I'D take the cream,
the cheese, the butter, the custard pie,
the cream biscuit. the steak, the smok-
ing roast beef, and leave you to make
a meal on potatoes, beets, pickles and
toothpicks. There is not a thing from
her nose to tail but that is utilized for
the use Of a We use her horns to
comb our hair, her skin pom our feet,
her hair keeps the plaster on the wall,
her hoofs make glue, her tail makes
soup, her bones are ground up and
fertilize the soil. Her blood is used to
whiten sugar, and her paunch makes
the finest kind of white cardboard and
false teeth. No other animal works
both night and day for man, for she
gathers her food in the daytime and
when we are asleep at night she brings
il back to re-chew and convert into all
the things above mentioned. 1t was
her sons that turned the first sod in
the settlers clearing; it was her sons
that drew the prairie schooner for the
sturdy pioneers who fought their way,
inch by inch. Who car say that much
of what we 1--WE to this noble animal,
the COW. Treat her well, for she is a
queen.
