Needed a Lawn Mower.

There was but one tonsorial chair In
the village barber shop, and 1t was oc-
cupied by a stalwart fellow, evidently
a blacksmith. Judging from the stub
born growth of beard, the patron could
not have shaved but once week on an
average. for the growth was like a
scrubbing brush. The barber made q
lather, placed it all over the countenance
Of the recumbent blacksmith, stropped
the razor vigorously and sailed into his
work. After he had struggled long and
dangerously over his patron he felt
constrained to say:

Because it Is an elementary thing to

fear life, so exorbitantly do they pur-
pose to enjoy it. Philip Gilbert Ham

When Photography Was New.

When photography first began they
used wet plates and sitting required
eight or nine minutes. A man once
went to be taken, and the phOtogra-
pher put in his wet plate, demanded
perfect immobility and took off the
cap.
During the long exposure the pho
tographer left the room a moment. On
his return everything seemed to be go
ing all right. But when the exposure
ended and he rushed to his closet to
develop the wet plato there was moth
ing on 1t but blur.
Very much Disguised. he showed this
blur to the sitter.
"You must have moved" he said.
The sitter looked at the spoiled plate
and laughed in amazement.

Artificial Ears.

Artificial ears are so skillfully made
that they may with difficulty be dis
tinguished from natural ones, it is said.
When the person who has lost an ear
applies to the manufacturer for a sub
stitute there is made a mold of the re-
manning ear. If there be left any part
Of the other a mold Of that part also
must be taken to assist in the fitting
of the artificial Manufacturers assert
that no two ears are alike and that it
takes skillful workman to prepare an
ear from the mold or molds. When
finished, says Harper's Weekly, the
new ear Is pasted on the stump or sim
ply set in the position Of the lost ear.
1t is really only the first artificial ear
that is expensive, the chief cost per-
tanning to the making of the mold.
Vulcanized rubber, which can be bent
and twisted. has been found to consti-
tute the best material for the making
Of artificial ears.

Rutland, July q. But for the quick
action of an Italian who saw 18-year-old
Ellen Holmes when she jumped into East
Creak this afternoon, the girl, who is an
adopted daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. John
l.. Holmes, would probably have
drowned. When she was taken from
the water it was thought she was dead,
but by continued work of DR.. G. H.
Gebha, DIT, the girl was finally revived
at the Rutland hospital.
The attempt at suicide was made fol-
lowing a quarrel. Miss Holmes has
been in the habit of leaving home with
out permission and staying in the houses
of neighbors for two or three days at a
time. She left her home Friday of last
week and had not been seen since.
DR.. Gebhardt administered restora-
tives to her as she lay on the bank of
the river but not until after an hour s
work at the hospital did she regain her
senses.

ADDISON COUNTY FAIR.
Premium List Issued this Week
Announcements.

The annual book of the Addison
County Fair was issued on Wednesday.
1t gives indications that the coming
fair wi Il be the biggest and greatest in
the history of the Addison County Agri-
cultural society. No other county in
any New England state has held so
many consecutive fairs and no county
fair equals it in all of its proportions.
Among the announcements made by
Secretary Frank c. Dyer of West Sails
bury are these: Mr.. Fred A. Upton of
Rochester, N. Y, who for the past
four years has been the starter in the
races, will again officiate in that cap
acity this year, and there will be sew
eral races on each day of the fair,
when will begin on Tuesday, August
26 and continue through Friday, Aug
ust 29.
There will be balloon ascensions each
day, with triple parachute drops, and
this is announced as one of the most
thrilling acts ever presented in Yer
mont. On the vaudeville stage every
day Starretts horse and pony circus
and Mile. Berneice and her Polar bears
will give continuous performances.
1t is expected that Andrew Elliott of
Gault, Ontario, who was the Judge of
cattle last year, will held the same po-
sition again.
One of the star exhibits will be made
by the U. S. Morgan horse farm, under
the direction of Superintendent w. F.
Hammond. The animals in this exhibit
will not be shown for premiums, but
just to show what is being done under
the management of the U. S. Depart
ment of Agriculture for the interests
of the farmers and breeders of Nor
gan horses, especially-in the state
made famous by Justin Morgan and his
descendants.
AS previously announced there will
be no membership tickets for man and
lady sold this year, but there will be
compensations in various ways, one of
which will be the admission to member
S. ..p Is the society, with its accompany
ing advantages, for charge of twen-
ty-five cents.
