Keen up Prehistoric Bite.

The herds midsummer fire at Dur
ris, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, is an
interesting survival Of a prehistoric
rite which dates back to pagan times.
This survival" is perhaps partly due
TO the generosity of Mr.. Alexander
Hogg, a native of the parish, who 1874
years ago left a sum of money for edu-
cational and charitable purposes, and
"ten shillings annually for ever to the
herds round Cairsi,ee for their mid
summer fire." Every year since then
the bonfire has been lit on midsummer
eve. Ale is Distributed to the specta-
tors. and each Of the local herdsmen
receives a silver coin.

Bio Order Fell at the New
COOmbS Garage

A day or two before Christmas while
O gang Of workmen was engaged In
hois ing into place a big iron truss 10
feet long and weighing thee and one
half ton at the Coombs garage now in
course of construction at the corner of
Pine and Pacific a guide rope
slipped aud the huge piece of metal
crashed to the ground. That no one
was injured Is almost miraculous.
Much damage vas sustained by the
girder In its fall and will cause a delay
of several weeks in the completion Of
this building. An expert from the
Belmont Steel and Iron company of
Philadelphia, where these supports
were manufactured, was SEN for to
make an inspection of the wrecked
girder to see what may be done toward
its repair. The plant of this steel COM
pany is at Eddystone, Pa. The latest
ne VS. is that the manufacturers them
selves will send an equipment and a
crew to Wildwood to erect the five big
trusses necessary to support the roof
of this building. Each truss weighs
three and a half tons, and is said to
have cost $503 free on board Wildwood,
or a total of $2.515. The damaged truss
will be taken apart and returned to
the plant for reconstruction. 1t was
bent or twisted in its plunge. 1t is
reported that S. w. Coombs' son
George, who had stepped inside the
brick walls to watch the men at work,
was only about ten feet away when
the crash came. ~

True Friendship.

Two are friends who have learned
to interpret Alright the silences that
fall between them. They know that
the understanding is complete and that
words are unnecessary to an explana-
ton. 1t is a relief when n may
without reservation trust and be
trusted, though nothing is said. We
might, indeed, learn from our humble
dependent the dog a valuable lesson
of implicit faith that does not need
the medium of writing or of speech.
