What's this thing Faith to cherish
Why Faith is shallow as a song!
In love and hate
One trusts in Fate
And Fate has often led us wrong.
Then, Faith in God. If we but knew
What theory of God is true
We then might see
Consistently
Some Of the :things we ought to do.

When the Odd Fellows building at
South Paris, which was recently
burned, was erected in 1878, a vault
was cut in the corner stone, according
to custom. and number of articles
placed therein. A copper plate en-
graved by John Pierce was placed
over the cavity. Parties have been
busy during the past week in tearing
down the remaining story, and on
Wednesday afternoon the corner stone
was uncovered, so that this receptacle
was accessible and the articles placed
therein AZ years ago taken out The
cavity had not been sealed up, only
the copper plate placed on top, so
water had entered and the contents
were wet and would not stand close
scrutiny, but they are to be dried and
placed in the corner stone of the new
Odd Fellows building. There was a
tin dish of coins, a copy of the by
laws of Mt. Mica dodge, an Oxford
Democrat and other papers, and last
but by no means least was 4 lock of
woman's hair, said to have been cut
from the head of Miss Grace Thayer.
John Pierce was present when these
things were placed in the stone, and
saw them taken out Wednesday,

Speaking of cooks and cooking and
Sherlock Holmes. the Daily Visitor
came into the sanctum and sat in his
accustomed seat, the conversation
soon turning to the first subject. Said
he:
1--WE once had a hired girl who
was learning to cook and soon be-
came proficient, so much so that she
would often ask me whether she or
my wife had cooked an article of
food. One day she served some ap-
pie pie and it was good. Said the
girl: Now, Mr., did Mrs. or make
that pie? and she thought she had
me. But, she had hardly asked the
question when L replied: Mrs.
- may have made this pie, but she
didn't put that nutmeg on it, The
looks of establishment on both their
faces was puzzler to me, until they
told me that such was the fact. My
wife had made the pie and the girl
had put on the nutmeg.
And then they in turn were puz-
Zled over how 1 had known they
couldn't see through it. 1 told my
wife, but it was long, long time be-
fore the girl knew. How was it?
Why, it was easy-no Sherlock
Holmes stuff to it, at all. You see,
I'd been eating my wife's cooking for
, number of years and knew some
thing about it. And, just as the girl
asked me who made the pie, l bit onto
a lump of nutmeg and 1 knew in an
| instant that Mrs. - had not put it
on that pie, for she didn't do her
cooking in any such way. See?"
And he went out the same door by
