NEW YEAR'S DAME BRILLIANT GATHERING AT SAWKILL HOUSE Miss Grissman Gives Prettiest Afiair of its .jiia Ever held in Milford. From every standpoint the New Year's Dance at the Sawkill Hinise was a grand success. Miss Crissman received with Mrs. Crissman. She wore a blue silk dlreotoire dress and pearl ornamci ts. The bull room was beautifully dec- oratedfWith ground pine, laurel, and hemlock. There, were twenty- four dances in all the? waltz and two step predominating and the barn dance and lauciers were not forgotten. Excellent judgment was used In the selection of the numbers and this compiled with Miss Maude Klein ex ceptional rendering resulted in the Boor always being crowded. After the tenth number, refresh inents were srved. Then the dancing continue! until three and terminated in a Virginia Reel, in which all the oouples J lined. Among the dancers were Miss Crissman, Dr. and Mrs. Kenworthy, Miss Alio Baker, Miss Dorothy Baker, Miss Alfreda Brnnnan, Miss Blanche Cross, Miss Edna Klaer, Miss Marie Choi, Miss Alicia Emerson Miss Elsie Mott, Miss Jeannette Mott Mr and Mrs. George Bull, Miss Anna Klaer, Miss Bertha Klaer, Miss Lilly St John, Miss Stnll, Miss Bull, Mr. and Mrs Dudley Ryman, Miss All nette Lyman, Frank Cross.

The protection of farmers and others who are exposed to the heat a great deal is ' serious and difficult matrer. Cancer Is on tue increase, and farmers furnish a large propor tion of the cahes, many of them being due to the direct etiecta of sunlight on the face and bands. A full Teard for the farmer is inoat desirable for his protection. Marriage und Wisdom. Some women will believe anything you tell them until you marry them. Origin of the "lilac Hand." There was a historical foundation for the name "black hand," accord' lug to Everybody's. Back fn Inquisi tirn riays in K'tain there was La Mano Nera. a secret society whicb foiglit the government and ths the church. It passed, and the se cret sociutles of southern Italy wers Its heirs. Twenty years or more ago a falpa report was ratcd in Spain that I. a Mano Nera bad been revived. The story lingered In t'-ie brain of a Herald reporter, and one tine day he attempted to rejuvenate waning Interest In a puzzling Italian mur der cr.se by speculating as to the lori'iir-' to life of the "black band" among Latin Immigrants In Amert ca. The other uewepsners Sfclsad oa the lioa eagerly and kept It gulag. POINTING THE BONE , Queer Superstition of the Native Illarks of Australia. The native blacks of Australia are steped In superstition. A black fellow will on no account go near the spot where another black has been burled. He has a deep rooted aversion to one particular bird the wagtail becrfuFB, he says, "him all day talk, talk along a whltt feller, tellum all about black feller," and no opportunity Is lost of killing these little birds. Many tribes "bury" their dead by sticking them up Into the forks of trees and there leaving them till th flesh has either dropped or been tak en, leaving the bones clean. These bones are then taken down, the larg er ones burled and the smallest hand ed round as keepsakes to those senar- ly related to the deceased. Should one black fellow wish the death of a rival or enemy he points the bone at him. This means that he takes one fef his late relation's bones from his dllly bag and points It, in the presence of witnesses, at the man he wishes to get rid of, all the time pouring forth threats and curses. Strange as it may seem, the one pointed at will often languish and eventually die, perhaps in a month, perhaps' In a year, for no sooner, is the bone pointed than he makes up his mind to die, and there is no sav ing him. How Hair Grows. , A single hair, which can support a weight of two ounces,- is so elactlo that it may be stretched to one-third of its entire length and then regain Its former size and, condition. Dr. Pincus has measured the growth of hair by cutting off circles about one Inch in diameter from the heads of healthy men, and so comparing the growth of tne patches with that of the rest of the hair. He found that the growth rate generally became slower' after cutting; that In some cases the hair on the patches grew at the same rate as the rest, but that it never grew any faster.. The ordinary length of the hair on the head rangos between twenty two Inches and about forty-flve inches, the latter being considered unusually long. It has been calcu lated that the balr of the beard grows at the rate of one line and a half a week; this will give a length of six and a half inches in the course of a year. For a man eighty years of age, who has been a clean shaver from early maturity, no less than twenty-seven feei of beard must have fallen before the edge of the razor. nu inner of the Mart. On directing the eye to the celes tial vault the impression made upon the mind is that of an Incalculable number of stars being visible a host which our arithmetic will not suffice to reckon. But this is an optical il lusion. The twinkling and disorder ly position of the stars confuse and deceive the sight. An ordinary eye. It has been estimated, will only dis cern at one time about 3,000 stars In onr firmament under tbe most favorable circumstances, and includ ing both hemispheres there will not be more than 6,000 visible to a keen and experienced gaze. Using an instrument of no great size little more than two laches wide there have been not less than 310,000 stars charted in the north ern half of the heavens alone. It is calculated that the total number viBible In the entire celestial vault with tbe aid of the larger telescopes would mount up to 77,000,000. Inquisitiveness Reward. When the train stopped at the lit tle Southern stai.on me Northern tourist sauntered out on the plat form. I'here were tbe uBual : um ber of sunbonneted women, tall "crackers" and stray dogs. Under a scrub oak stood a lean animal with scraggy bristle. The tourist was Interested. "What do you call iatT" "hs queried of a lanky native. " "That be a Laws," elucidated the other. ' "What kind of a og?" "Kabzohbach hawg." "That so?" "Yeas, tiat's so." "Well, what In tarna'.lon is he do ing rubbing against that treat" "He's stropping himself, mister, jest stropping himself, and If you aaky tiny inure loui questions arounr. nera we'll pull you off tne trafn." An4 the tourist wisely withdrew. A New Method of Electric Wei ding, L. S. Lachman haa devised a new process of electric welding which makes it possible to employ steel In stead of malleable Iron in the manu facture of numerous articles. Aa two unequal sections cannot be weld ed together satisfactorily Lachman has one piece cast with a projecting edge and tbe other with a point. I' he two projections, forced together by a hydraulic press, are Included in aa electric circuit, of Wu'ich they form the segment of highest resistance. Hence, when a strong current Is caused to flow through them, they are heated nearly or quite to the melting point and, oeiug subjected to great pressure, quickly become welded together, and attach them selves to each other more firmly than they could be attached by means of rivets, because there Is no break la the continuity of tbe metal. ltreeeh-Loadera. Breech-loading cannon were among tbe earliest used. We find them on English and other ships as early as tbe last quarto,- of the fourteenth century, and therefore much before the time of the buccaneers. Ths cannuu was a mere tube, bound witli heavy Iron rings, and was loade4 by the Insertion of the "gonne Cham bay" an Iron pan containing the charge, which fitted into and closed the breech. These guns were very clumsy affairs In comparison Wit the modern breech-loader, but tat nrtnclpla w the . HE WAS NOT THANKFUL My neighbor Cooley suffered a good deal last winter from rheuma tism In his breast, and his wife was badly frightened about It for tear It should end In consumption. Cooley could not be Induced to try any rem edy for the trouble, and Mrs. Cooley was nearly worried to death about It. At last she determined to try strate gy. She mad a dry mustard plas ter and one nlrbt while be was asleep she sewed It jpon the Inside of hi' undershirt, so that It would just co er the rheumatic place. Cooley dressed himself in the morning, wholly unsuspicious of the presence of the plaster, and went downstairs. At the breakfast table, while he was talking to his wife, he suddenly stopped, looked cross-eyed, and a spasm of pain pasted over his face. Then he took up the thread of the conversation again and went on. He was In the midst of an ex planation of the political situation, when all at once be ceased again, grew red In the face and exclaimed: "I wonder what In the No, It can't be anything wrong." Mrs. Cooley asked what was the matter, and Co--.. ay said: i "O, It's that infernal old rheuma tism again; come back awful. But I never felt It exactly the same way be fore. Kinder stings me." Mrs. Cooley said she was sorry. Then Mr. Cooley began again, and was just showing her how the rav ages of the grasshoppers In the west, and the potato-bug in the east, would affect the election by making tbe peo ple discontented, and so likely to strike at the party In power, when he suddenly dropped the subject, and jumping up, said: "Thunder and lightning! what's that? Ouch! O, Moses! I feel's It I had a shoveful of hot coals lntlds my undershirt." "Must be that rheumatism, getting worse," said Mrs. Cooley sympatheti cally. "O, gracious, no! It's something worse than rheumatism. Feels like burning into my skin. Ouch! Ow-wow-wow! It's awful! I can't stand It another minute. I believe It's cholera, or something, and I'm going to die!" "Do try to be calm, Mr. Cooley." "Calm! How can a man be oalm with a volcano boiling over under bis shirt. Oo 'way from here. Get out of the way, quick, while I go up stairs and undress. Murder-r-r-r-, but it hurts! Let me get out, quick!" Then he rushed up to tbe bedroom and stripped off bis clothes. His chest was the color of a balled lob-.-ter; but he couldn't for tbe life of him tell what was the matter. Thea his eye rested upon something white on his shirt. He picked up the gar ment and examined It. Ten minutes later he came slowly downstairs with a dry mustard plaster in his hand. while thunder clothed his brow. Going up to Mrs. Cdoley, he shook the plaster under her nose, and said In a suppressed voice: "Did you put that thing In my clothes?" . , "I did It for the best, John," she said,. "I thought " "Oh, never . 'mind what you thought. You've taken tbe bark clean off of my boiom, so I'm as rsw as a sirloin steak, and I'll probably never be well again as long as I live. That lets you out. You play do more tricks like that on me. Now, mind me." ' Then he slammed the door and went out. Mrs. Cooley doesn't know to this day exactly what effect the grasshoppers are going to have oa ths election. N. W. Weekly. Bca of Velvet Bine." The Mediterranean sunset Is one of tbe glories of the world. Tbe tea Is a velvet blue. When evening comes ths clouds forsake the sky and the sun takes on tbe color of molten gold, gliding the purple waters aa tbe great glowing disk approaches the level line of tbe horlton; wide waves of crimson Intervene across the azure heavens, and sea and sky leap together in a vivid embrace of color. The sun vanishes, the sea turns from gold to silver, and the sky growt crystal clear. Thea night falls slowly down. PONT 6ET RUSTY. s Keep Yoar Body and Soul Clean By Working them. The machine that Ilea idle Is far more liable to Injury than the ma chine that runs. Air and dampness do more damage than wear and tear. Let tne machine remain Inactive a while and the coat ing formed by the coroslon soon covers the bright metal and the parts become stiff and cranky. A man neglects rue working parts of his body. Normally these parts should be exercised. He indulges his members In lateness. Whatever vi tality and working force they may have bad when la continued use, neglect causes tne maculnery to run stiffly. It Is tbe rutt. A man may neglect to exercise his working brain forces. He may have ever so quick a mlud, but If he does not use his mental machinery the rust of Idleness Is soon over it. A man may neglect to use the moral forces that are In him. There la a weakening somewhere. The ma chine lets down. And soon tbe parts are rutted. When the primary or tbe conven tion or the ballot-box working parts of government are neglected the rust collects. Tbe machinery works poorly. It may break down. Keep your body working without friction by systematic exercise. Keep your mind bricht by using Keep your sonl clean by worklug And so for society nine-tenths of Its evils are caused by the idlsnest t t aicoasarv working naru, TAILORS WHY pay as much for a ready made suit, as for one made to your measure?
