In former times the Appearance «( « whale in the river Thames was consid­ ered ominous. One was caught off Greenwich three months prior to the death of Oliver Cromwell, and the com­ mon opinion was expressed by Heath In his "Flagellum." "It pleased God," he remarks, "to usher in his end with a great whale three months before, June 2, that came up as far as Green­ wich and there was killed." Evelyn, IN his "Diary," under the date of June 3, 165S, mentions that a whale was killed off Greenwich and that it drew an "infinite concourse to see it by wa ter, horse, coach and on foot from Lon­ don and all parts." According to Rob­ ert Hubert, in his "Catalogue of Nat- oral Rarities," the tongue of this whale was exhibited daily for some time at the "Miter, near the west end of St Paul's church." In February, 1857, another whale was caught in the Thames, and in the Times of that month appeared an ad­ vertisement for a piece of ground, some 40 feet by 00 feet, "on which to exhibit a whale." The piece of ground adver­ tised for was found in the Mile End road, and the whale was exhibited un­ til March 1-i. In the same month-- namely, on March 21 -- expired the house of commons, which had been elected in 1852. : MM HIGHWAY COMMISSIONKR. I hereby announce that I »M a candi­ date for re-election to the office of high­ way commissioner and ask the support of my friends at the ooming township election. 88-tf JOHN H. FREUND. "-D FOR TOWN CLERK. Being well acquainted with the duties connected with the office of town clerk after several years experience, and being confident that I am well fitted for the position, I hereby announce my candi­ dacy for re-nooination, and respectful­ ly solicit the support of my friends at the town caucus. CHAR. R HARMSEN. DURING the year 1902 the smokers of tiie United States consumed 6,900,000,- 000 cigars, including clear Havanas, cabbage and hickory leaves. FCSSS§§:< ISR#V PV»- THE friends and admirers of WM. R. Hearst, proprietor of the Chicago Amer­ ican, think that he is endowed with all the qualifications that should constitute tne make-up of the president of the United States, and it is likely that he will become a democratic candidate. There is no doubt about Mr. Hearst's executive ability in conducting news­ papers, but that does not make him a statesman by any means. He is called the working man's friend by loyal re 1 ti­ ers of the American. If snch is the case perhaps be can do the workingman more good through his paper than AX president He has recently been elected to congress from a district in New York. His ardent supporters should wait until he develops some of the latent states manship qualities in his make-up. The new boom is not taken seriously by the more conservative members of the dem­ ocratic party. m? - ir~~~ The best pill 'neath the stars and stripes; It cleanses the SYSTEM and never gripes.

A western editor pays this tribute to a type which has not its fair share of song and story: "The bachelor repre­ sents the most congenial and big heart­ ed type of our commonwealth. His name, while held in public derision by a host of people, will always remain closely interwoven in the history of pioneer life. He it was who pushed out into the wild and woolly west at a time when the buffalo, Indians and coyote were lords of the prairies and by persistent efforts and under priva­ tion and want led a heroic life by converting vast areas of the barren wilderness into fertile lands of peace and plenty. Then, without aid of femi­ nine piety to keep vigil over his every­ day acts, this sturdy empire builder remained at his post blazing out the path of fame and introducing thrift and civilization in his wake. Like the cowboy he is slowly passing into his­ tory, but his fame is as farreaching as civilization, his name Indelibly stamped on the pages of history, while the hum­ ble dugout with its original environ­ ments will appear in scenic pictures above the footlights of future genera­ tions." FU With at On one of the times when Barry Sul­ livan, the GRGFET Irish tragedian, was playing HAMLET a certain clever low comedian named Hoskins was the gravedigger. After answering Sulli­ van's question, "How long will a man lie in the earth ere he rot?" Hoskins proceeded with the business of illus­ trating his reply. Taking up Yorick's skull he spoke the words of the text: "Now, here's a skull that hath lain tn the earth three and twenty years. WBO^ DO you think it was?" Nay, I know not" replied Sallivan as Hamlet. This skull, sir," said Hoskins, "was Diavolo Antonio's, whota Booth fought in this city!" The house roared with laughter, while Sullivan stamped and fumed, ex­ claiming; "Yorick's, sir! Yorick's!" No," said Hoskins coolly, when the tumult had subsided, and taking up another skull. "This is Yorick's skull, the king>s jester; but t'other's Anto­ nio's, just as I told you."--Kansas City Independent Bottom of • Sea F»HI*g «*t. Scientists tell us that counting from the sea level, the lowest body of water on the globe is the Caspian sea. For centuries its surface has been gradu­ ally settMbg down until now it is eigh­ ty-five FWT lower than that of its near neighbor, the Black sea, which also lies far below the level of the oceans. The common conclusion all along has been that the Caspian was simply losing its waters by evaporation, but recent in­ vestigation shows that this is not the case. Soundings made and compared with records of soundings made over 100 years ago reveal the astounding fact that there is even a greater depth of water now than then. This leaves but one hypothesis that would seem at all tenable--that the bottom of the sea is actually sinking. There is much speculation in scientific circles as to what will be the final outcome. MM Paper Not Made From Mee. Rice paper is not made from rice nor from rice stalks, nor has it any con­ nection whatever with rice. It is of Chinese manufacture and is made from the pith of a certain tree resem­ bling the elder. The pith is extracted from the tree in large cylindrical mass­ es, and with sharp knives the Chinese pare off the cylinder till instead of a cylindrical form they have a large flat sheet This is pressed and other sheets added until the required thickness is secured. The paper is then rudely sized and is ready to use. It was called rice paper under the supposition that when it was first introduced into Eu­ rope it was made from rice stalks, and THE name has never been changed. HOLCOMBV1LIK.

The ripen­ ing of cheese, upon which depends its flavor, is due to the action of bacteria, which are ever present in milk; also in the rennet which is used in the manu­ facture. Cheese which has been im­ properly handled is apt to accumulate deleterious bacteria. Cheese has great nutritive value. It yields nearly three times the ambunt of caloric yielded by moderately lean beef. Penlaa Athlete*. ItRHIf and skilled as western ath­ letes are, there are some respects in which the athletes of the east, and es­ pecially those of Persia, surpass them. Their skill is due to the fact that they do not rely on brute strength, but on adroitness, which they have ac­ quired after years of strenuous train­ ing. They know the function of every muscle in their bodies, and they are not regarded as experts until they are so well trained that they can perform with ease any feat which depends for •nccess not only upon their strength, lmt also upon the proper play of their muscles. They are not as bulky as some of the well known athletes of Europe and America, but on the other hand, their bodies are wonderfully symmetrical, and all their movements are mdlt graceful. In wrestling and swinging clubs they, especially excel, and, no matter how' •Xpert they may be, not a day passes that tfcaj do sot practice for several iBdlgBant. Clara--Well, aunt have your photo­ graphs come from Mr. Snappeschotte'S? Miss Maydeval (angrily)--Yes, and they went back, too, with a note ex­ pressing my opinion of his impudence. "Gracious!

In Brittany when a housewife begins to knead dough she makes a cross with her right hand, the left being placed in the trough. If a cat enters the room, it is believed the bread will not rise. It is supposed that certain women can cause the dough to multiply itself. On the coast of the channel the dough is adjured to. imitate the leaven, the mil­ ler and the baker and to rise. The oven is a sacred object and con­ nected with crowds of superstitions. The oven is dedicated, with ceremo­ nies. In certain places in Brittany the wood is watered with blessed water. Bread must not be cooked on certain days, as on Holy Friday or during the night of All Saints, when the ghosts would eat it The Introduction of Forlca. Forks are articles of such common household necessity to us that we hard­ ly realize that there was a time, and not so long ago either, when forks were entirely unknown. A knife was used at the table to cut up food, but the food so cut was afterward conveyed by the fingers to the mouth. Rich and poor alike were accustomed to this method and so thought it perfectly cor.. ct. It was about the year 1000 and in the reign of James I. when forks were first Introduced into England. This "piece of refinement." we are told, was de­ rived from the Italians. La grippe coughs yield quickly to the wonderful curative qualities of Foley's Honey and Tar.

AYEK CO., Lowell. Mass. Serpent Worship In India. Serpent worship, once very widely diffused, survives in India. Sometimes when Hindoos flnd a cobra in some crevice in the wall of their house it will often be reverenced, fed and pro­ pitiated, and if fear or the death of some one bitten by it induces them to remove it they will handle it tenderly and let it loose in some Held. When Hindoos are bitten, they have far more confidence in their magic spell or "muntra" than in any medicine, even If they do not scruple to make ase of medical aid. REAL ESTATE TRANSFER8.

It often seems to vork though no one has ever old why. When mothers are worried oecause the children do not £ain strength and flesh we say give them Scott's Emul­ sion. It is like the penny in the milk because it works and because there is something astonishing about it. Scott's Emulsion is simply i milk of pure cod liver oil with some hypophosphites especially prepared for delicate stomachs. Children take to it naturally because they like the taste and the remedy takes just as naturally to the children be­ cause it is so perfectly adapted to their wants.
