UNITY.
John Pillsbury of this village was found be-
tween and 8 o'clock last Saturday evening
hanging from the ceiling of his stable. He
had been to Burnham to attend the horse race
on the ice that day and after returning home
had planned work for the next week. He was
down to the village only short time before
his death, talking with his friends, as usual.
He had done part of his nights work and had
returned to the house. Just before 8 o'clock
he said he was going to finish his work and he
went back to the barn. As he did not return
as soon as it seemed that he ought his mother
started through the shed to the barn. Finding
the door locked she called to him and on re-
ceiving no reply she returned to the house to
call his wife. Both started for the barn, and
not being able to break the door his wife went
around to the side door, As she opened it she
saw Mr.. Pillsbury hanging from beam by
rope SO long that his body was partly resting
on the floor. She and his mother removed the
rope from his neck and screamed for the
neighbors. They carried him into the house
and teephoned for the doctor, but life was ex-
tinct before he arrived. Mr.. Pillsbury was well
known farmer, was in moderate circumstances,
good health and seemingly happy and no rea-
son can be assigned for his taking his own life.
He is survived by his wife. son, his mother, and
six brothers and two sisters. The funeral SER
vice was held at theUuion churchTuesday after
noon.. :. Mr.. and Mrs. D. c. Webster cele-
brated the fifth anniversary Of their marriage.

MlSSIvES LONG IN TRANSIT
Correspondence Sent From Paris Dur ing Siege Took Years tc Reach
 the Consgnees.

What would Americans say if they received mail matter that had been de layed in transit for a lifetime? In France, few years ag,, letters for 300 persons were delivered-to as many of the addressees as were iv. ing-that had been mailed years be fore. They were delivered, moreover, ae the earliest possible moment; al- though the distance between the send. only few miles.
 During the siege of Paris by the Germans in 1870 the postoffice admin istration hit upon the expedient, in ad. dition to the balloons, of inclosing let ters in small zinc globes, water tight and dramatically sealed, and dropping them into the Seine. There they float. ed, if they were not captured by the Germans, down the river to the French lines, where net stretched across the river gathered them in. and they were sent on their way.
 Unfortunately for the French, the Germans discovered the character of these Zlnc noatS, ana as they cOuI0 n0S hope to see and fish out by ordinary means all the letters that went down thus, they stretched across the river. at Villeneuve Saint Georges, net of their own and effectually stopped this system of postal communication.
 The zinc balls and their use were pretty nearly forgotten, when. some years ago, fisherman found in the Seine, near Villeneuve, queer looking globe of zinc. With large knife he opened 1t, and found 300 letters, still legibile. and all dated December, 1870. They were delivered to the postal ar- thorities, and after this long wait in the river went on their way.-The Sunday Magazine.

c0L0Rs NOT BORNE IN WAR
British Troops Go Into Action With out the inspiration of the Regi-
 mental Colors.

The colors of the British army are made of silk, with gold-fringed edges and cords and tassels of crimson and gold, mounted on a staff eight feet seven inches long.
 To insure their absolute correctness in matters of detail and pattern, an fficial of the Heralds' College acts as inspector of colors." He has to furnish drawings and designs, and is responsible that an unauthorized de- parture is made from them.
 Every infantry battalion has two colors-"the wings" and "the regi- mental" The former is always of the same pattern, and shows the union jack on blue ground, while the lat ter has wreath of roses, shamrocks and thistles, with the regiments motto and crest, surrounded by a list of the various battles in which 1t has taken part.
 Regimental colors are no longer car ried into action, but are now left be- hind at headquarters when battalion proceeds on service. This has been the rule since the Boer war in 1881. A couple of years earlier two young offi- cers of the South Wales Borders were killed willie endeavoring to pre- vent the colors, of which they had charge. l falling i the hands of the ehemy at the battle of Isandhl wana.
