like the babbling Of one talking in
his sleep, or like muttered prayers.
But he is neither dreaming nor per-
forming his devotions. He is debating
to the boys at the loom the colors of
the thread that each respective work

strand on which he Is working. The
lads obey his commands as mechan-

Why Navy Blue.

The blue color so prominent in the
uniforms Of almost all marines is of
hoary origin. Vegetins, in his fifth
book on the military affairs of the Ro-
mans, traces the origin Of this color
to the Veneti, an ancient people dwell
Ing near the coast of Biscay and well
versed In seamanship. 1t was custom
airy among them to paint their outgo-
ing ships as well as the masts and sails
with a blue color; alse their soldiers
and sailors wore blue uniforms. Ac-
cording to our author, the Latin word
"Venetus," which was both the name
Of the color and that of the people,
points to its origin. From the Ven
Ell the custom was adopted by the Ro-
mans. Thus the son of Pompeius, af-
ter defeating Caesars fleet in a naval
battle, wore the navy blue, although
entitled to the purple. The Venetl
were subdued by Caesar after Sc
we're maritime war in So B. G.

MYSTERY SOLVED
Death of Pvt. Bernis w. Powers
Cleared up by Facts Sent Con-
gresham Frank Greene

BENNINGTON, June 12-The
mystery that has surrounded the case
of Private Bernis w. Powers son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Frank l.. Powers of
North Bennington, has been definitely
cleared up by letter received from
Congressman Frank L. Greene. The
letter contained copy of a special
cable sent from France to the adj
jutant general stating that Private
Powers of Company B, 10Th engineers
was found dead on railroad track
at Saint-Julien-du-Sault, Yonne, on
December 81 and was buried at that
place.
The boys father, Henry Chase, the
local agent for the Red Cross, and
Congressman Greene have been at
work for some time endeavoring to
unravel the mystery. Mr.. Chase
learned from the captain of the boys
company that Private Powers had
gone on furlough December % and
was seen in Paris on December 30.
His name was kept on the company
roll until February 7. This was all
the definite information that could be
obtained until the receipt of the tel
egram last week announcing the
young mans death and stating that
particulars would follow. The young
man was an only son and "a years
old.

Ants on Peonics.

For a number of years many persons
In various parts of the country have
complained of ants destroying the buds
on the peOnies.
To rid peonies of these ants, cut a
circular piece of heavy paper or heavy
cardboard, about two feet In diameter,
and put hole in the center just large
enough to allow the stem or main
stalks of the peOny to pass through,
and then slit from the center to one
edge, 20 enable you to place the circu-
lar rim of paper round the plant.
Smear molasses on the surface of
the cardboard, and then scatter little
arsenic powder over the sticky mo-
lasseS.
The ants will eat of the sweet as
they go or come, and it will not be
long until you have stopped the con-
slant stream of destructive ants from
visiting the peony buds.
In some localities similar trouble
has been experienced with ants on
dahlias, and the same remedy may be
successfully used.
If a very thick solution of arsenate
Of lead is used with plenty of mo-
lasses, it will do the same work as the
arsenic.

Guard the 7-houohts.

"Thoughts are things" We do not
see them as they fly hither and

we see the disease germs Of the street
and those that are inhaled IN shop and
car. The irritable, gloomy mood, the
discomfort and pessilnisn that steal
away courage and hope, are things
that we can no more keep wholly to
ourselves tlpn we can keep a conta-
gious illness if r"e carry ii among our
fellows. Frctfuness makes others
irritable, and gloom, like pestilence,
Will make itself felt through the entire

If one would have friends she must

likewise, we must put self in the back
ground occasionally and show to that
"some one" that we want to be her
friend. - New York Evening Tele-

months. All sorts of speculations have
been rife as to the reason for the ex-
tensive protection that has been ac-
corded this statue, one of them being
that there was a Jacobite at the office
of works. The probable reason, how
ever, is the undeniable beauty of the
statue.-London Mail.
