Hartford Man, Hit
 By Automobile, Dies

Middletown, Conn.,, Aug. S-A man identified es Samuel Malone, of 22 Jefferson street. Hartford. died at the hospital here today as result of be- ing run over by an automobile driven by Edwin P. Augur, of this city, in Cromwell this morning. Identifica- ton was made through the registry number of the motorcycle he was rid ing.
 The accident occurred at a sharp turn in tEe highway. As Malone, riding towards Hartford, approached the turn, Augur's machine appeared followed by another car which. was apparently trying to pass it. Malone evidently fearing that he would be caught between the machines, steer ed to one side of the road cutting across directly in front of Augur's s car. The motorcycle skidded on the hard pavement and its rider was thrown to the ground and under the wheels of the Augur car which pass ed over his chest and head.

E.rrinas Denote widowheod.

That India is land of curious GUS toms is confirmed by the Popular Sci ence Monthly. A widow, instead of wearing black crape, dons ponderous earrings made of solid brass. Since her widowhood is perpetual she is obliged to wear them the rest of her life. Each year another ring is added. The constantly increasing weight of metal stretches the lobe of the ear, to which it is attached, in an extraor- dinary manner. It is safe to say that no widow ever forgets the fact of her widowhood when wearing such a clumsy weight. +

Method In Their Madness.

After having her blood curdled bad ly by a thrilling story Mrs. Kurious was angry to find that it ended in an advertisement for somebody's tooth powder.
 With pout she threw the paper con taining the deception across the room.
 "What's the matter, dearie? asked her hubby.
 Mrs. Kurious told him her trouble and wound up with the remark:
 -"Now, Jeremiah. I know why the Chinese people begin reading at the end instead of the beginning. Their intelligence is greater than ours."- London Mail.

A Deadly Industry.

One of the most deadly callings and one of which very little is known is that of the workers in champagne eel lars. The work, which is light and without any obvious clements of risk to health, consists in turning over the bottles of champagne so that the wine may be clear and transparent and ab- solutely free from sediment. The men who do this work spend eight or ten hours a day in the dark wine cellars. turning over bottles by the thousand. This monotonous duty they discharge day after day in semidarkness, in a high temperature, unhealthy atnes- phere and absolute solitude. These combined conditions affect the nerves and health of the workers so seriously that few of them can continue at their posts until middle age.-London Mir TOT.

A silent City.

No industry brings the village of Gilthoorn, Holland, into touch with the world. It is almost wholly inac- cessible except by water, and the in habitants are shy and keep within doors, betraying not the slightest in terest in visitors. Indeed, Gilthoorn has been ikened. empty and silent in its green picturesqueness, to a place visited in a dream.-Argonaut.

Twenty Four Aeros
 In Somme Battle

With the British Armies in France, Aug. S-Work of British aviators re- gently has surpassed the widest flights of imagination.
 Aerial fights which attract sensa- tionaI attention are only an incident of the offensive campaign. Over whelming numbers of aeroplanes are concentrated on the narrow front of the Somme battle in coordination with a superior, unceasing volume of gunfire. The aeroplanes move in larger and larger fiotillas, and there have been cases with a dozen engag- ed in battle on either side.
 The German first line and second line trenches, headquarters, tbillets and supply depots of all kinds have been bombed. Not a village occupied by the Germans in the neighborhood of the front, has not had its aerial bombardment.
 Dry official accounts of the Aviason Corps and their aviators' jargon re- veal number of amazing feats every day. A pilot described an average experience thus:
 q first attacked a Roland, but finding a Fokker behind turned and manoeuvred under his tail. He fired one gun at very close range and the Fokker nose dived and went down with a spin. If it had gone down direct it would have been a crash err"
 Aviators felt the concussion 5000 feet in the air when a brigade of British aeroplanes bombarded Henin Lietard (northeast of Arras) with a
 
 When the German sheds and store house at Martinpuich were fired by incendiary bombs a vast pillar of smoke from the resulting confagra- ton rose to Q height of 5000 feet.

Julia, do you know what love is?"
 The love sick young man put the question in an intense voice.
 "Yes," replied the fair maid firmly.
 "But do you really know?" he asked again. Have you ever been the ob- ject of love as undying as the sun, as all pervading as the air. as wonder ful and sparkling as the stars? Have you ever loved and been loved Ike that, Julia"
 In an agony of suspense he waited for her reply.
 Have I?' she presently murmured staring thoughtfully into the glowing fire. "IfJyou will come up into our box room I can show you trunk full of letters and three albums full of photographs, and in my jewel case are seven engagement rings!" - Philadel- phia Inquirer.

National FIass.

If the question were asked which country's national nag had been long est in use the answer would be either the dragon banner of China or the chrysanthemum flag of Japan. The former has been used from a very early period, and the latter is as old as the present dynasty in Japan, which is the most ancient in the world.
 Among European national flags that of Denmark, q white St Georges cross on a red ground, is the most ancient having been in use since 1219. No other flag has existed without change for anything like tho same period as . national emblem, although there are royal standards that are older.
 The Spanish colors date only from 1785, and Great Britain's flag in its present form was first flown after the union with Ireland in 1891. The stars and stripes of the United States was first planned and ordered by Washing. ton of an upholsterer in Philadelphia and formally adopted on June IA. lI77. Spectator.

 According to the announcement, the Wright Co has entered into a contract to purchase all the stock which it al- ready does not own of the Simplex Automobile Go.
