Y., Feb. |.—Under the head of “To Whom It May Con- cern” in the Deposit and Hancock pa- bers Mrs. Bertha Crawford, residing near the former village, says: “I, Bertha Ellis Crawford, hereby state that I have left Ford W.

He had a number of guests to din- ner, and he was doing the carving. He { had deftly taken two slices off the Joint, and he was turning off a third when the blade struck a skewer, made a sliding motion and came out at the top, with the result that the proposed slice looked like a'dead leaf curled up by the sun’s rays. He could not say intense things in the presence of his guests, so he froze his wife with a glance, dug the skewer out viclously, made a grim joke con- cerning the indigestibllity of roasted wood and ordered little Willle, who had made several attempts to speak, to keep silent or leave the table. His evident temper led to an embar- rassing silence, and Willle saw an opening that he could not resist. “Cook burned her nose orful!” he announced. 5 “Too bad,” said the mother, glad of any excuse for conversation. - “How did she do it?” “Why,” answered Willie very apro- pos, “trying to pull them skewers out with her teeth!”—London Scraps.

Aristarchus of Samos main- tained that the earth turned on its own axis and revolved about the sun, which doctrine was held by his con- temporaries as so absurd and revolting that the philosopher nearly lost his life B. C. 280. The wisdom of the an- cients was, of course, lost sight of in the darkness of the “middle ages,” and it took Galilei and Copernicus to re- store the old knowledge to the world.— New York American.
