Slaves In 1855.

Slavery existed in nearly all of the
English colonies from an early period
until shortly before or soon after the
Revolutionary war, and the African
trade was openly tolerated by the
British government. In 1856 there
were $4,000 slaves in the colonies,
scattered from New England to Geor-
gia. Slavery was not prohibited in
Massachusetts until 1850, nor in Yer
mont until 1777. The United States
census of 1910 showed 80 slaves in
Connecticut, 1851 in New Jersey,
1907 in New York, 795 in Pennsyl-
vania and 10S in Rhode Island.
Slavery was gradually abolished in the
northern states, but in 1920 there were
still 81 slaves in Connecticut 1851
in New Jersey, 1O,SOS in New York,
211 in Pennsylvania and 4S in Rhode
Island. The census of 1850 showed
the disappearance of slavery in all
the northern states except in New Jer.

New Bells Made Like Old,

We have often heard of the beauti-
full silver tone of very old church bells
In Europe and some have even been
bought at great price and brought to
America. 1t was supposed that after
a bell had rung regularly for one or
two centuries some mysterious quail
ty was developed, and the beautiful
tone could be acquired in no other
way. An ingenious American studied
the problem, however, and decided
that the silver tone was simply due
to the fact that the clapper Of the
bell had worn itself and the bell by
continued striking, until the two fiji
closely together and that the shape OF
the metal and nothing else determined
the tone. He began to make bells by
casting them so that the clapper and
the bell fit each other properly, and
the mellow silver tone was obtained al
once. Today we are manufacturing
such bells and selling them abroad

WAS AHEAD OF HIS TIME
Peter HeuIein, Who Made the First
Watch, Accused Of Witcheraft and
Thrown Into Prison.

There is in existence today a letter
dated April %, 1927, from Martin Lu-
ther to Father Frederick Pistorius,
the last abbot Of st. Aegiduis in NJ
remberg, in which he thanks the alb
bot for the gift of watch, and adds:
Il feel compelled to become a pupil
of our mathematicians in order to I'M
derstand this unique timekeeper."
Never before had he seen such an OBJ
ject.
As he was familiar with clocks,
what he meant, evidently, was that
the time indicators on the clock were
different from those on the watch
which had been given to him. 1t is
quite probable he had in his posses
sion the first watch made by Peter
Heulein, or at least one of his first
ones. This Peter Heulein was black
smith and lOcksmith and devoted his
time. to mathematics and watchmak-
ing, for which he was thrown into
prison charged with witchcraft, which
was, then one of the easy ways of dis.
posing of a rival or of a person who
did things out of the ordinary
But Peter persevered, and the name
of Heulein and Nuremburg is preserved
by a monument in his native town.

Worry Really Wicked,

Worry is really an evidence of lack
Of self-confidence and of faith in the
power that runs the universe. 1t is
q lack of faith in the power that, pro-
vided you do your part, will always
bring things out better than you posi-
bly, could by yourself alone. Why
should you worry, why should you
fear, why should you be anxious, when
Gods vision and omnipotence are al
ways ready to guide and serve you?
There never has been an instant in
your life, my friend, which you could
have safeguarded or provided for with
a thousandth part of the wisdom with
which God has guarded and provided
for it. 1t is really a reflection upon
him to be anxious about the future, to
dread poverty and sickness, to worry
about your business, to fear failure
in your undertaking.-Orison SWEET

ABUSE OF WILSON THE KEYNOTE.
(ElizabethtoWn News.)

Those who will take the trou-
BILE to read the speeches made in
the Chicago Convention and the
platform adopted, will find the
keynote of the Republican party
is abuse of Wilson. Down with
the President" is the slogan of
the party. 1t is being shouted
from coast to coast, and those
who are most vehement in the
denunciation, including Senator
Lodge, have not one single good
reason to base their hatred on
except that Wilson is a Demo
crat.
When the President rose to
the great emergency which con-
fronted the Nation and the civil
lization of the world, the Re-
publican party damned him be-
cause he was so proficient in the
hour of trial.
When he brought back from
Europe the Peace Treaty, wrung
by his masterful mind from the
greatest statesmen of Europe
to secure permanent peace anC
to destroy forever the German
Kultur, which threatened civil
cation, the Republican party
damned him because he had no
asked the counsel of its mem
bers.
When he lay sick in Washing

Immense Rubies.

An immense ruby, weighing 400
carats, is reported to have been found
in Burmah, but it was broken, into
three pieces, and the report is that
one of them was sold uncut in Calcut-
ia for $233, 1873. A fine ruby, known
as "Groga Box" or the Dragon Lord,
weighed 45 carats in the rough, p
carats after the cutting process, and
was said to be the finest of its size
ever seen. In 1887 a stone of 49
carats was found and in 1890 one OF
304 carats, according to Bauer, who
treats the discovery of the 4O0-carat
stone previously mentioned as simply
an unverified report.-Philadelphia

ed at the emaciated and en-
feebled President struggling
back to health in the White
House would have been treason
if uttered two years ago, but are
now rolled under their tongues
as sweet morsels of political pre-
judice.
They have poisoned the very
atmosphere with their foul as
pensions of a patriotic President,
whose achievements entitle him
to rank with Washington and
Lincoln, when they dared not
have uttered them while our
boys were charging through the
Argonne forest and making the
German power crumble to an alb
ject surrender.

party to criticise the acts of the
other party and to point out the
mistakes it has made.
But malignant abuse of the
President never won an election

LAMB THAT GREW ON TREE
According to the TaImud, Remarkable
Plant Furnished Food for Our
Very Remote Ancestors.

How often is the wish expressed
that money grew on trees? Why not
wish for lamb to grow that way, for
according to the Latin translation Of
the Talmud of Jerusalem, that ancient
book of law and customs, wonderfully
tender and eatable lambs did grow on
trees.
This work, remarks a writer in the
New York Evening Sun, tells Of a
plant called the jeduah, which was
formed like a lamb. From a bunch of
rather coarse, thick leaves there is
sued steam on which the zOOphyte
grew, SO the story goes. In every re-
spect it was formed like an animal
suspended on a stalk within the radius
of which it graZed. 1t devoured all
the heritage which it was able to reach
within the circle of it's tether, and
then unless some overventurous ami
NAL came near enough for it to snatch
the lamb would die of starvation.
Our remote ancestors hunted the
lamb at great risk, for historians tell
US that the lamb had not earned its
reputation for gentleness then. 1t was
extremely ferocious, especially if it
had exhausted its provender. The
only way to overcome it was to cut the
stem by well-aimed darts or arrows
sent from a safe distance. Once the
stem was severed the animal fell to
the earth soon to die, and the sue,
cessful hunter could safely come forth
to carry his game back to his cave
home

MANY ROADS TO KNOWLEDGE
For Instance, impudent Fake Resulted
In Opening Up the Field of
EIectro-Therapy.

Along the road that leads to knOwl-
edge are scattered many fake-shOps
which as a rule do a f1ourishing and
profitable business. For the chief
weakness of the human mind is credu-
lily.
But by curious paradox, the foolish
ness factories every now and then
produce something that proves of sub
stantial usefulness to science.
For example, in New England many
years ago a man named Perkins in
vented what he called a magnetic
tractor" for drawing diseases out Of
folk. 1t was shaped like a pair Of
cOmpasses, with one leg of silver and
the other of copper. When the two
points were passed over the afflicted
part Of the body the instrument was
supposed by some electrical means to
alleviate or cure the trouble.
The tractors" undoubtedly did
benefit many people; also Perkins,
who sold them for s. apiece. They
made such a sensation that scientists
took the matter up, investigating II
thoroughly and proving that magma
ton did the work. Blindfolded per
sons were relieved of pain by the con-
tact Of a couple Of pointed sticks Of
wood, which they mistOok for the in
Strument in question.
The whole business was plain fool,
ishness. Nevertheless, the interest
IT awakened led to the first opening UP
Of the field of electrotherapy, discov'
cries of which have proved of such
immense importance to medical sci.
ence.

COW is uncertain in it's moving, lOlling

sheep trots, and bleats as it passes,
while the goat springs alOft almost
needless of it's footing. The gait of
birds on the level varies great deal.
There is a sort Of majestic carriage
in the rock, stepping over crumbling
furrow. The red-fOoted pigeon trips
IT daintily; the heron stands, as if to
think, and moves with stateliness with
in it's narrow bounds. The dog casts
a careless foot, scattering dust or mud
without thought; while the cat ad-
vances a dainty paw, as If distrustful
of the ground. The hen scratches, and
pauses to look round, as If bewildered /;
while the peacock lifts its foot with
seeming pride, and as if the earth
were hOnOred by its moving upon 1t
at all. The pig takes ground anyhow,
and without needing, turning about,
careless whether right or wrong. The
little mouse scurries across the COM
mon path with something Of the pas
sivity of a blown leaf; while the rat
assumes the ground to be its own pos
session, and prowls about with conf
dence and unconcern. OF all animals

upon its heritage, and breasts it the
whole day long. AS Wordsworth not
