A SHE WAS SURE Child’s Impolite Comment Justified by ‘, Visitor's Behavior. —_ When Carol was nearly four years old her parents had occasion to move into another past of town, and one morning when a strange little girl wandered into the yard Carol, who is an only child, was delighted with the idea of a piayfellow. “Good* morning, called out brightly. to play wiv me?” * The little girl, who was older and larger than Carol, stared and was dumb. 3 “What’s your name, little Carol proceeded. No answer. “Are you five?” Still no answer, “Are you six?” The child fidgeted and grinned, but remained silent' with her finger in her mouth.’ ’ Carol surveyed her calmly a mo- ment and then remarked emphatical- ly: “Well, I don't know y&ur name, and I don’t know how old you are, but I do know you aren't very smart for your age!”—Delineator, ONE THING i little girl,” she “Did you tome Fy < girl?” \ SOME LONG-WINDED PREACHERS.- Three Hours Once Considered Fair | Average Allowance for a Sermon. Dean Lefroy, who has expressed the | opinion that ten minutes is long enough for a sermon, would have met with_ scant sympathy from some di- vineg of past centuries. Thomas Hooker considered three hours a fair average allowance for a | sermon, though, on one occasion, when he was ill, he let his congregation off | Pausing at the end of | more lightly. 15 minutes he resied a while and then continned his homily for two hour} longer. Cranmer’s sermons were each a small book when set up in type; and Baxter, Knox, Bunyan and Calvin rarely reached “Lastly, my brethren,” under two hours. George Herbert once said: “The parson exceeds net an hour in preach- ing, because all ages have thought that a competeney;” but a certain rector of Btlbury, was of another opinion, for he never sat down under two hours. The squire, we learn, usually withdrew after the text was ahnounced, smoked his pipe outside and returned for the blessing.

Matrons of the west may be inter- m'hmmh”flsfimmafl- _2n native baby's morning toilet. ‘Any- thing over three months old is no long- er a “baby” to the native mater- familias, and is bathed with the siher children a samerous (generzlly brood), in the chill mo:amg air before sunrise. The little mite yells lustily while the cold water is splashed over its brown body, and generally con- tjnues the chorus when put aside to dry (towels do not form part of the household equipment). The bathing process finished, the infants are sub- jected to a sort of water cure treat- ment. The mother seizes a child, scoops up a handful of water, and using her thumb as a kind of spout, squirts it with extraordinary dexterity its throat. Protests in the shape of desperate strugglings are quite un- heeded; the steady stream of water | continues to pour down the child’s throat until the mother's practiced touch on the patient's distended stom- ach tells her that the limit of._capac- ,ity has been.reached. All babics are submitted to this treatment, which is believed to kave a most strengthening effeet. of Their Forests. fect that the boundiess desert of Sa- bara was once a garden supporting a mighty populatfon and doubtless the seat of what was then human civiliza- | tion. There is authentic history for it that the region called Mesopotamia was the granary of the east and the center of human“endeavor when Cyrus | the Great was king, but it is now a desert waste, and owls and bats in- habit the ruins of Babylon because of the denudation of the forests of that once splendid country. Spain paid a bigger price for the havoc she wrought Guadaiquivir than the Berber invasion i and the Moorish dominion cost her. The nations of western Europe— profited by it. In those countries tim- ber culture is as much a regular crop as potatoes in Michigan, corn in Towa, tobacco in Kentucky, or cotton in Mis- sissippi, and in at least one of those countries it is the law of the land that for every tree felled another must til it has attained to its zenith as a ‘plant. Clever Crabs. | The tree crab of the South Sea is- lands is akin to the hermit crab, but it is larger and it has its hind quar- ters sheathed in a shell. 1t is also known as the palm crab, because it climbs the cocoanut palm and picks the fruit, which it nips off close to the stem. It always takes care to choose a palm tree with plenty of stones at the foot, so that the cocoanut may be broken by the , fall. When the natives see that a crab is in a tree they tie a ruff of | grass around the trunk. When the crab comes down again he is upset by the grass and falls heavily to the ground, where he lies stunned. He is then killed with a stone ax ~his nippers are tied together and he is slung upon a spear to be carried to camp. The South Sea isianders roast the palm crab between two hot stones and consider the flesh a great delicacy. Consul General Richard Guenther of Frankfort writes that after lengthy ex- perimental tegie the German govern- ment will now proceed to establish alectric motor car traffic on 52 sections of the railgoad lines in Prus and Hesse. The estimated average speed will be 31 English miles an ‘hour, which, howewer, can be increased to 37 1-2 miles.

If honest confidence counts West- erly high school team will win in the basebal] game this (Wednesday) aft- ernoon, with Biflkeley school team of New London, and create a tie for the lcadership of the eastern division of the Interscholastic baseball league. The games between these teams on the ho grounds create more enthusias- tic interest than any other baseball games played ip the town, and it is believed there will be a record break- ing crowd at this important game be- tween the schoolboys. Not only are the players and the schoo] members confident of winning this game, but this confidence is shar- ed by almost every resident of West- erly. Burrows has been in careful train- ing for this game and has been spared from pitching for over a weke, in or- der that all his strength and skill as a baseball. twirler might be reserved for the game with Bulkele He has been in active practice, however, in other positions and with other teams, Jjust to keep in condition for this game, It wag cheering information to, the local high school boys that Pitcher Wall of Bulkeley had been presuma- bly weakened by being sent into the pitcher's box after the second inning contest with the New Britain high sehodl on Memorial day in News Lon- don. It is almpost impossible to find any man, woman or child in Westerly | | who is not strong in the belief that | the Whalers from .Whaletown will be fore.

This medal of | honor man s James A. Barber, who ! served as corporal in Battery G, First | Rhode Island light artillerv. He en- | 1y served as private. On December 29, £63, he re-enlisted as a veteran vol- of Persons Responsible for Born B.be—W«hdrBdk- unteer. He was wounded July, 1564, and was in the general hospital in Philadelphia for two months. He was mustered out of the service June 24, lfig;l':. r. Barber received his medal of Lonor for distinguished bravery be- tore Petersburg. At the solicitation of Captain Adams of Battery G, Gen- era] Wright consented to his selection of a number of volunteers from the battery to scale the enemy’s defences, get possession of their guns, turn them on the rebel forces, or spike and render them useléss, as circum- tances warranted. A movement so full of hayard required thorough prep- aration, consequently Captain Adams selected seventeen men, among them Corp. James A. Barber of Waesterly, and Private Charles D. Ennis, now of Ashaway, and although of the dan- ger of the enterprise the volunteers were eager from the fray, * The assault was made April 2, 1865, and was successful, the guns being turned on the enemy. The captain with his selected volunteers marched up with the corps until the opportune movement when, rushing with great impetuosity they scaled the earth- works and crowned their undertaking with success and without the loss of life. The moral effect of this deed of daring was inspiring and awakened the greatest enthusiasm. In recogni- tion of the value of this gallant and meritorious service Corporal Barber and his brave comrades received the medal of honor. i ——s The end is not yet in the finding of the dead body of a newly born child ir Shady lane, In the rear of a shed, last Friday. Dr. J. Howard Morgan, medical examiner, is satisfled that death was due to criminal neglect and exposure, and considered it a case for the attention of the coroner. He made official report to Coroner Everett B Kingsley, Tuesday, and farther Inves- tigation will be made as required by the statutes. Chief Bransfield is at work upon the case and it is said he has unearthed a clue that may tend towards the de- tection of the person who committed the crime. 250th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION of the Founding of Norwich, July 5th and 6th GO SLOW IN JUDGING OTHERS. Habit of Criticism Not a Valuable One ” to Cuftivate. \ Do not drift into the critical habit. Have au opinfon, and a sensible one, about everything, but, when you come to judge people remember that you see very little of what they really are, unless: you wihter dnd simmer with them. Find the kindly, lovable nature of a man who knows little of books. Look for the beautiful self-sacrifice’ made daily by some woman who knows nothing about pictures, and teach yourself day in and day out to ! look for the best in everything. It is the everyday joys and sorrows that go I to make up life. It is not the one great sorrow, nor the one intense joy, it 15 the acoumula- tion of the little ones that constitute living, so not be critieal for the lit- tle faults, and do be quick to find the little virtues and to praise them. So much that is good in people dies for want of encouragement. Their hearts are not open books, and as you must judge yourself some day, give them the kindest judgment now.— Exchange. Painless Death for Animals. How to destroy surplus kittens or puppies in a painless way, without calling into use the old-fashioned method of a bag and a pall of water is told in the annual report of the Lon- don Institute for ILost and Starving Cats. The directions are as follows: “Take a dish cover, place it where it can be pressed into the mold of the garden, or, in default of this, on an old cushion, so that the latter bulges out all around and makes the cover air tight. Place the animals beneath and pour four ounces of pure chloro- form on wadding. Push the wadding under the cover, hold the cover down for three or four minutes and then leave undisturbed for one hour. The body must be stiff before burial” Heavenly Shades. “I can't figure out what the meteor shades are,” said a shopper. “I passed about eight windows in one store, each window had a different color, | and each was labeled meteor shades. *They were reds, blues, yellows—all | the colors, in fact.” “Why,” said the fashion editor, | scornfully, “don’t you know the meteor shades reproduce the colors of the tail of the meteor. Don't you have me- teors where you come from?” “Yes, we have them, but they go so fast that all we can see in detail are the shades of night.” Despair at Seventeen. Oh,swhen I think we have only a single life to live, and that every mo- ment that passes brings us nearer death, I am ready to go distracted!
