Two automobiles Were pretty well
stove up in an accident here, Sunday
forenoon. Frank Parsons, who was
driving the r. p. Niles car, and Frank
Spooner of Auburn with him, were
making turn on the Waterville road
around the wooden mill, when a smaller
car, Owned by a Newport man, with
his wife and child, were coming from
the Norridgewock road, making the
turn toward the bridges. The Newport
driver. evidently mistaking the course
Of the other ear, started across the
street and before Mr.. Parsons could
get out of the way ne was hit. lie had
anticipated the coming car and had
pulled over toward the corner of the
mill and the rear wheel hit the corner
OF the building, demolishing the wheel.
The other car hit broadside into the
Viles car. The greatest damage to the
Newport car was to the front and the
Viles ear lost running board. beside
breaking wheel and other damage.
The occupants We're shaken up, but no

A sociologist of practical temper
thinks that educational and social re-
form can be helped greatly by corn
mullins. Those who like corn mullins
will instantly agree that he is right
whatever form his suggestion may
take. 1t seems that he knows of a
school teacher who wrought wonders
in the blue grass region of Kentucky
by teaching school children how to be
clean and their parents how to cook
corn mullins. In other words, the in
habitants had to be raised to the corn
muffin stage. VIII it be so easy to
make those who believe themselves
above it conform to its Spartan sim
plicity and unfrenchified palatablity?

Decorative Stems.

The affection of ornamented open
shelves in dining rooms with "steins''
is a decadent imitation of a custom
in high favor in Germany when the
slversmiths of Augsburg and Nurem-
berg, in the sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries, devoted a large amount of
invention to the production of drinking
cups of various grotesque designs. In
Germany today, the cups that have
this ancient origin are greatly priced
by their lucky owners, and when oc-
casionally sold bring high prices.
Among the songs of Burns is one upon
n whistle used by a Dane of the ret
niue of Anne of Denmark, when she
came to England. This whistle was
laid upon a table at the beginning OF
q drinking bout, and was won by the
last drinker who was able to blow it.
The Dane conquered all corners until

To discover town under the waves
of the Mediterranean is not so Won
der provoking as it would have been
previous to ten years ago, when or
ganized researches disclosed the fact
that since the Roman dominion the
Neapolitan coast first sank about 50
feet and then rose about nineteen feet.
Scientists are now convinced that what
is going on in the Mediterranean is one
of those slow and majestic movements
that have raised continents from the
sea and sunk them under. All the
evidence for this slow earth change
can be seen by the tourist in the form
of grotto, cave, erosion lines high
above water mark and sunken Won
ders of buried forums and temples. The
great bath of one of the villas of Ii
berius that once stood on high cliffs is
now filled daily by the sea.

Though some people still believe in
witches. there is no longer any use for
the witch finder. Englishmen of ear
lier generations gave this person abun-
dant employment. sometimes fetching
the expert enormous distances to
cleanse an afflicted town. In 1919, for
instance, the magistrates of Newcastle
sent into Scotland for one who could
find witches, agreeing to pay twenty
shillhgs ($4S0) a head for all that he
convicted. His particular method con-
sisted in pricking the suspects with pins
and fifteen old women were duly exc
cuted as the result of his visit. The
most notorious of witch finders, one
Hopkins, was finally executed as d
wizard after trial by one of the more
painful of his own many cleverly de-
vised tests.

a PAINTING for Jurors.

The other day the jury of the Seine
district Paris. addressed a request,
such as only a French jury could make,
to the chancellery. To beguile the te-
diousness of the long examinations and
plcadings the jurors asked that above
the seats of the judges, on the walls
of the room, should be placed a copy
of Prudhon's great painting, Justice
Pursuing Crime" This picture was
painted a century ago to ornament
the hall of the court of assize. After
Napoleon, under the restoration. the
picture was considered to dramatic and
vas reclaced by crucifix. When the
republic, an enemy of religious en-
blems, came, the crucifix was ordered
away and in its place was nothing but
tinted wall paper. The keeper of the
seals did not refuse the request of the
jurors and placed before them the
painting which, it is hoped, may hap
PLY inspire them to do justice.-Indian-

The Order of the Thistle of
which Lord Haldane. lord high
chancellor of Great Britain, is
to be made knight, dates only
from the last day of 1903 Cen
turtles earlier, however, the thistle was
a national badge of Scotland, and the
origin of its emblematic use is ascribed
by tradition to the Danish invasion of
Scotland. The invaders planned a
night attack, and, marching barefoot.
had contrived to creep close up to the
Scottish forces unobserved, when one
of them stepped on thistle and ut
tered cry of pain. The alarm was
given and the attack failed Out of
gratitude the thistle was adopted as
the insignia of Scotland.
