MORE OLD STUFF
PRESENTED Us
Ed Weaver and A. A. Sessions Bring
In Papers and Ledger Made
When U. S. Was Young

The Republican is in possession o
some printed matter brought in b,
Ed Weaver which has a history. On
of them is what appears to be a gen
uine copy of the Ulster County (Nev
York; Gazette, the date being Jan
uary 4, 1900. One page has blacl
column rules in honor of ex-Presi
dent George Washington, who haC
passed away on Dec. Ia, 1893, at the
age of IS years. The advertisements
in the publication are mostly IL
the form of readers. The letter "s''
as used in those days had the ap-
pearance of our letter "f'' and we
reprint one small ad just to show
how far we have refrigerated in Civ
ing notice to the world:
NOTICE. Came to the fubfcriber,
young heifer, about one year old
laft fpring, marked with a piece cut
off the right ear, a ftar in her fore
head and white under the belly The
owner by paying charged if defired
to take her away. Seth Mofier, Kingf-
ton, January 4, 1900"
The issue contains accounts of bat
ties which the English, French, Aus
TRANS and Russians were then en-
gagged in and also accounts of the do
ings Of Congress. John Adams was
the President at that time.
Another paper was the Sun of New
York, Sept 8, 1888. 1t is four pages,
three columns in size, and the price
was zone penny" 1t also contains
some interesting accounts of events
which were of interest at that time
The last document is copy of
the New Years address of the Peo-
pies Press, which also contains an
almanac for the year 1S4S and the
poem is signed by Thomas T. Scott,
carrier, "The Printers Devil"
All this is being put away by the
folks for future use.

Best WEIGHT Gnessers.

Butchers are the worlds best
weight guessers. The butchers diff
cult trade gives him a skill in
weight-guessing that is almost in
credible.
1t is a commonplace thing in
meat shop to see a butcher seize
hold of huge red round of beef and
slash off with a great knife four
pounds just, or two and a half
pounds just, or six pounds just, ac-
cording to the order.
The buyer of meat wants to get
the weight he asked for, no more
and no less, and he wants this
weight in one piece, not in one big
and two or three little ones.
To satisfy the buyer the butcher
has been compelled to acquire ex-
traordinary skill in judging just how
much a certain portion of round OF
meat weighs, and in cutting off that
portion smoothly and accurately.

SIMPLE LIFE IN 1CELAND. .
No Liquor Manufactured, No Jafis
and Only One Policeman.

No Liquor Manufactured, No Jaffs
and Only One Policeman.
There are no manufactures in the
country. Each home is factory and
every member of the family hand.
Shoes are made from goat skins.
The long stockings worn over these
in wading through the snow are
knitted by the women and children,
and even the beautiful broadcloth
comes smooth and perfect from the
hand loom found in every house.
This simple life is conducive to a
state of high morals, higher proba-
bly, than in any other part of the
world. There is not a drop of liquor
manufactured on the island, and for
the $4,000 population there is but
one policeman. There is neither q
jail nor any place of Incarceration
for criminals; nor yet is there a
court in which high crime could be
tried.
The percentage Of crime is so
small that it does not warrant the ex-
pense of keeping up a court. When
criminal trial becomes necessary
the offender is taken to Denmark to
answer to the law for his misdeeds.
The women are among the most
advanced in the world.

usEINe PEAT EoR FUEL.
Fires Kept Burhlng 400 Years
h with this Earthly Fuel.

rtreS kept burning 2Uo Years
with this Earthly Fuel.
In this twentieth century, with its
wireless telegraph and other wonder
full inventions, more and more atten.
ton is being given to peat as a sub
stitute for coal. The principal scien-
tif1c schools. such as the Boston
School of Technology and the Univer-
sity Of Wisconsin, have devoted con-
siderable time to experimental work
with a view to solving the problem.
Pliny, the Roman historian, says that
q German tribe pressed with their
hands kind of messy earth which
they dried and burned for cooking pur-
poses and for warming their bodies"
Beckman. in his History of Inven-
tions,' mentions a letter of sanction
by Abbot Ludolph in the year 1I3, per-
hitting nunnery near Utrecht to
dig peat. The same authority in
forms us that the words "turbo" and
"turfa" occur IN certain land grants in
the years 100, 1191. 1901. 1910. In
the laws of Scotland as early as lao
mention is made of extensive traffic il
this fuel. Charred peat was used in
the Freyberg smelling houses in the
year 1850 and in England in the early
part of the seventeenth century.
In England to-day there are domes-
tic fires burning In Yorkshire which
for centuries have never been allowed
to go out. This is particularly true
of certain estate at Castleton, in
Whitby district, where the fires have
been burning constantly for 200 years,
and a farm house at Osmotherby, in
the same district, has not let it's fire
go out for 500 years.

OFFICER oBEYED ORDERS.

"Join at Once" Orders of Superior
are Carried out Promptly.
"A smart young officer belonging to
O cavalry corps in India was sent on
sick leave to the convalescent station
Of Simla, and, while recovering his
health among the hills there, was rob-
bed Of his heart and in return capti-
waited the charming thief. The young
fellow proposed and was accepted,
and with all possible dispatch the
welding day was fixed. But the colonel
of the expectant bridegroom's regi-
ment was strongly opposed to the lieu
tenant marrying, and telegraphed an
unwelcome "join at once" to the amor
GUS sub.
The chagrined soldier handed the
peremptory message to his fair one.
She glanced at 1t and then, with a be-
coming blush of sweet simplicity, re-
marked:
Il am more than glad, dear, that
your colonel so approves of your
choice; but what a hurry he is in for
the wedding. don't think can be
ready quite SO soon, but I'll try, for,
of course, the colonel must be obey
ed"
"But you don't seem to understand
the telegram, sweetheart" said the
lieutenant. 'Tt upsets every plan we
have made. You see, he says. 'join
at once"
Certainly. he does, DEAR" replied
the lady, looking up with an arch
smile, "but it is you who don't seem
to understand 1t. When the colonel
says join at once what does he mean
but get married Immediately? What
else. indeed. can ne possibly meant"
What else, indeed, daYling?" de-
lightedly exclaimed the ardent lover,
rejoicing in the new reading, which
he received with the utmost alacrity.
So as hours had scarcely passed be-
fore the colonel received the follow
ing: Your orders have been carried
out We were joined at once"
