Mary, aged five, was watching her
mother dust the Encyclopedia Britain
where It stood a long phalanx Of
volumes on the bottom shelf Of the
bookcase.
What" she asked, "is an encyclo-
pedia?"
"An encyclopedia replied the
mother, 'is lot Of books that tell you
about everything you want to know"
The next day Mary, whose recent
studies at Sunday school had dealt
with the creation, was discovered
seated upon the floor turning over the
leaves of that volume Of the ency-
clopedia which bears the superscrip-
ton Edw-Eva.
What are you dojng?" asked the
grown-up intruder.
I'm looking for a picture Of God
making the world" replied Mary.

What Saved the Home.

Ia the American Magazine a man who has had twenty-five yearz' matri- monial experience says that he and his wife were growing farther apart and constantly quarreling. The family would have been wrecked had it not been for two things, which he describes as follows:
 First was the baby-a healthy. charming chiId--to whom we were in- tensely devoted. For months the baby was about the only subject we could agree upon. The other safeguard was our sense of huInor. I have since thought that no two persons should marry unless one or the other has R sense of bumor With us the sense of humorl usually came to the rescue at the most trying times. One or the oth- CT of es would be struck with the lu- dicrous feature of our quarrel and laugh, and pretty soon we made up."

Fountain Pens Old.

If fountain pens have not attained perfection in the present day It is not because their youth warrants their in discretions, for, according to a writer in the Pail Mall Gazette Nondonl, this form of combined ink reservoir and pen has been in use for over 300 years.
 B. S. Bates in his Touring In 1900" shows, he says, that travellers wrote with them at that time. In the fol- lowing century they appear to have been in common use, a dictionary pub Hshed in 1T54 defining fountain pen" as "a pen made of silver, brass. etc., contrived to contain a considerable quantity of ink and let it flow out by degrees. To use tho pen the cover must be taken of and the pen a little shaken to make the ink run more free ly.'1 British patents were obtained for fountain pens in 1899, one being grant ed to Joseph Bramah of Rock fame and another to F. H. Foelsch for a stylographic as well as fountain pen.

TaetfuI Dam Builder.

In speaking of the river regulations of the ancients Sir William willeocks, the noted English engineer, said:. "Cy- rus the Great controlled the Gyndes, a tributary of the Tigris, in truly original manner Babylonia was al- ready peopled. and lands were needed for his Persian troops. The Gyndes discharges 10000 section feet and runs thirty feet deep in a sandy and mo- bile bed. He could build no regulator, so he dug thirty canals, divided the waters of the river among them, closed the river by an earthen dam and com pleteiy controlled it. As he could nev- CT have induced his wild soldiers to dig these canals for any useful pur- pose, he took advantage of the fact that his favorite horse had been drowned in the Hood and urged his soi- diers to dig the canals and disslpate the waters of the river in such fash ion that it could never again drown a

The town council mem bers will meet as a. board of commis- sioners this (Monday1 evening and re- count the vote, but it is not believed there will be any material change in the count as returned by the official counters.
 The voting strength of the town is 1856, and 1492 votes were cast, show ing that only 227 electors failed to vote and most of these were not in town Tuesday, It is the largest vote ever palled in any election in the town of Westerly As evidence of the extra effort to get out the vote, three elec- tors who voted in Westerly in 1855, voted in the second representative dis trict Tuesday. They were Stanton Clark, William c. Rathbun and Sam uel P. Lawton.
 After the polls were closed the Town hall was packed, awaiting the result of the count.
