Well Represented.

Grangeville was represented by a
good delegation at the celebration at
Lewiston on Monday about fifty going
down to the new seaport. On account
of the rainy spell a good many others
from this section were prevented from
going. The trip proved to be tiresome
to those who returned the same day most
of the crowd coming back on the train
which left Lewiston at 1000 O'Clock
Monday evening and got into Grange
vile at five Tuesday morning. Those
who went down report that the affair
was satisfactory in every respect

Il. S. AUDITORIUM FRIDAY NIGHT

work, although they had to go without
their dinners for two weeks in order to
do it all The decorated table of the
yells and strong speeches of the
Delphians. Praise is due both to Miss
Brooks who coached the Baconians and
Miss Bakewell who coached the
Delphians for the success of the debate.
The individual medals offered by
Miss Bakewell and the pennant offered
to the winning side by Mr.. Rice in
couraged effort. Annie Norwood made
by far the best speech on the affirma-
tive and Mac Leonard of the negative
won the praise and admiration of all
present. Due credit for the victory Of
the negative also belongs to both James
Yates and Homer Eimers, not only for
their speeches but for their excellent
delivery. The Delphiars will receive
the pennant as reward for their work
and they certainly deserve it from the
standpoint of the debate work. This
debate, as well as previous literary
work of this year, has encouraged much
good work on the part of both teachers
and students, but it is only a starter
for much more successful work in the
future. Literary work has been revived
this year at the hands of Miss Bake.

Streets and Sidewalks.

The city is responsible for the keep
ing of all sidewalks, crosswalks,
streets in repair. In order that this
may be looked after in proper manner
| would suggest that the council make
provision for the appointment OF u
street commissioner, who should also be
peace officer; this official should be
required to regularly go over all the
streets of the city, and wherever there
is found a defective sidewalk, brfdge
or eross-walk or dangerous place in
the streets, that same be repaired at
once. 1t might be that it would not be
necessary to have such commissioner all
the time; and provision could be made
so that such officer be employed for
only such time as actually necessary.
The fact that many of the sidewalks of
the city are becoming old, and constant
ly needing repairs to my mind shows
that it is necessary that some person be
employed to look after these matters.
| believe that in street work, exper-
fence has shown that the best results
are obtained from the use of the drag
after rain; this dragging should be
done before the ground becomes dry.
In order that all sections of the ,ity
get the benefit of such dragging, 1
think that such work should be done in
all three wards of the city at the same
time; the member of the street CON-
mittee from each ward should be AL
thorized to attend to this for his ward
1t is just as economical to have three
men working at the same time in three
different sections, as to have one mar
!, working three times as long to cover
the same ground. Then with the three
men working the results will be Sc
much better, the streets will be dragged
instead a portion of them being cult
waited.
The macadam on Main street is badly
in need of repair, the council shouit
investigate and determine the best ant
most economical manner to make thi'
repair and then make provisinos TO

A DREAM

With an angel guide close at my side
floated high and far,
Till both gazed down on London town,
Where the starving people are
I heard their cry, and questioned: 'Why
Are sad souls herded SO,
When green fields lie meath q smiling sky
Where the fragrant breezes blow?
'Furrow and fen and wooded glen
I by the kings highway,
With their unused wealth and stores of health
Then why do these people stay?'
And the angel said, he bowed his head
AYE that Gods great plan.
AS the river and and the free,
So free was the soil for man.
''But the through wide passed,
And he branded one man chur,
And one man slave, and another he gave
The title of duke earl.
"And wood and field with their generous yield
He took from the of man.
Ave. he robbed the that the hounds might chase
In the lead Of an idle clan.
'And now look down on London town
And wherever Caste has trod,
There sorrow and crime keep step with Time,
But it is not the will Of God.
''For Gods good viii and His purpose still
Rule the Worlds estate
And Greed full grown, shall be overthrown
By the force of its own vast weight
''And the idle class from the world shall pass
As tares shah die out of the soi
And the land, like the sea and the sun shall be
Free-free for the use Of toll
''And he that hath let him listen and hear
For the sound Of groas,s
And the moan Of Right-in its battle with Might
He shall hear the falling Of thrones

Lonq Worda.

While our language does not contain such long words as are found in some other tongues nor so many words of unusual length, still we have several that are awkwardly long for converse tional purposes. We have ''philopro- genitiveness,' with twenty letterss fin terconvertibiIities, Z with twenty one; 'fntercommunicabiltt ' with twenty two; "disproport ablepess, with twenty three. and ranssubstantiation- a1ists' and "contradistinguisha abi1ity," each containing twenty-four letters. An effective little word is .'synacategore1 matic,'' as it manages to compress eight ssyllables into seventeen letters.
 The longest monosy ylIables contain nine 1etters,s and there are, four ex- amples, sfsplotched," 'squelched," 'strengths''y and sastretched''

Franoe,s National Museum.

The Musee Carnavalet of Paris is also known as the National museum, for it contains objects pertaining to the history of France and especially of the French revolution. The sacredness of antiquity clings to the building it. self, whiclt was begun in 1544 and enlarged in 1860 by Mansart, the famous architect of Louis XIV. In 1877 it became the home of Mime. de Sevigne, who lived there for eighteen years and after whom the street is named that faces the principal en- trance. Among the contents of this museum are fragments and statues from noted old buildings which no longer exist. There are also a weird portrait done in wax of Henry W, made the day after his assassination, and an autograph order from Louis XVI for the defenders of the Tuilerieg to cease firing. Things of historic in terest are numerous, but none more sanguinary than the copy of the con stitution of 1798. bound in human skin.

Story of a Postal Card.

Don't despise the badly written post al card, nloralizes a writer in Busi- ness. He received card that was written in q scrawl and showed signs of having been in the writer's pocket for some time after he had signed it. But it was answered just as if it had been written by a reputable business man. And it was. It seemed that the card had> been hastily written on the cars, put into the Merchant's pocket discovered several days later and then mailed. 'eWe have sfnce,'' concludes the writer, 'done very nice business with this man."

When Coins weretFirst Made.

Certain passages in the 'sIliad'' Of Homer would lead to the Inference that coins of brass were strdck asf ear 1y as 11S4 B. c. Tradition airms that the Chinese had bronze coins as early as 1120 B.C. But Herodotus, "the fa- ther of history" ascrfbes the .'fnven- tion"f of coins to the Lydians. about nine centuries B. G.. and there is no satisfactory evidence, that coins were known prior to that date.

De IisIe,s Tragedy.

An affair Of the youth of Rouget de Lisle, author of tEei ''darseillaise." is told by French journal. In 1870, when he was about twenty years old, Rouget dc Lisle.z a pupil of the mili- tary school. was deeply snitten with the charms of a. young girl of Courbe- voie, Mile. Camille, whose father was captain on half pay. The betrothaT was made the occasion of a family fete, in the course of which some fire works were to be set off.
 The future officer could not leave to others the care of touching off the powder. When the moment came to fire the principal piece, which showed the figure of his well beloved, he aE- proached k1vith 9 light in his hand, the guests meanwhile taking their places on a terrace opposite him. The piece was lighted, but a rocket badly direct ed struck the young girl on the fore head, and she died some days after in consequence Of her burns.

A Queer Fish.

A SaEUSGE 2" iSnr
 One of the queerest of odd creatures IS the mud skipper, or Jumping. fish, which inhabits the large rivers of In dia and the neighboring seacoasts- At ebb tide these little fishes leave the water to hunt for tiny crabs, flies. etc. and their strong pectoraI and ventral fins, aided by their tail. enable them to move bout easily and to climb upon trees, grass and leaves.
 With their huge eyes. seeming to pro ject far out of their sockets, they can see as well on land as in the water. They progress in short. quick leaps. ef- fected by sharply bending the rear third of the body to the left and sud denly straightening it. In color they are usually light brown, with dark bands. though they sometimes appear light green. They are easily caught and are much used in Burma.
