Many New England farms are know a
to the people in the surrounding country
y the names of former owners, who
Itcrhaps moved away or died many years
ago. Martin Baker tame from "York
etate" to live on a tine old Vermont
farm.
The farm had tieloned to Ids cousin,
another Daker, and the present owntr
wa.s cultivating it, as he said, "to the
very top of the notch."
lie painted a mu for the barn, which
announced to all beholders that this was
"Mountain View Farm," but to his dis
gust he heard his new proierty Fiokeii
of on every hand as "th old Uatchelor
place."
His patience was greatly tried by this
fact, and at last he broke out in a rage
one day when a farmer who lived a
tshort distance from him was explaining
to a newcomer that he, Martin Baker,
was a man who was "fixin up th old
Batchelor place an caPlated t' hev it
known th' kentry raound."
"1 ain't calculatin to have it known as
the 'Batchelor place, though, I can tell
you!" blazed Martin Baker, turning upon
his petrified neighbor.
"Haven't 1 lived on the place over a
year now? Didn't I buy it and pay hard
cash for it? Didn't I buy the stock, and
the pasture land, and the wood lots, and
the meadows, and everything that ever
belonged to Bav liel or? My cousi n didn't
own all the land, but I do. I've bought
every inch of it and paid for it. What
is there 1 ain't done in the buyin line in
regard to that farm, and why don't the
folks call it by the name I've given it?
It mads me!"
"1 see it doos; I see it doos," replied
the old farmer calmly. "Ye see, friend
Baker, ther's jest one way ye've over
spee'lated a grain. Ye ain't bought all
of us old folks' ree'lections; an I'm
afeard ye won't be able to f r a year or
so, t' put a low figger on it. I cal'late
it's one o' them few cases wher' time

Companion.
Origin of the Lone Star.
Colonel J. F. Troutman, of Fort Val
ley, Ga., a courtly gentleman of the old
school, gave this interesting history:
About 1835 Captain Mirabeau B. Lamar
organized a Georgia company, of which
Justice Lamar, of the supreme court,
was a member, to go to Texas to fight
for her independence against Mexico
As this company passed through Knox
ville, Ga., Miss Johanna E. Troutman,
sister of the colonel, then a beautiful
girl of eighteen, presented the company
with a silk flag, embellished only with
the "Lone Star," the flag and the em-
blem being her own conception. This !
Georgia company distinguished itself
for bravery, and was allowed to retain
two specimens of plate, a huge silver
spoon and fork of antique design, cap
tured from Santa Anna.
When the Lone Star was adopted and
placed on the seal of the state of Texas
this company, by unanimous vote, at the
instance of Captain Lamar, presented to
Miss Troutman these articles of silver
plate in honor of being the author of the
Lone Star emblem. Captain Lamar was
afterward one of the presidents of the
Texas republic, and in his honor Lamar
county was named in 1810. Miss Trout
man afterward married a Mr. Pope of
Montgomery, Ga., and died a few years
since, leaving one son, H. B. Pope, who
now lives at Rome, Ga., and has in his
possession these two pieces of unique
silver given to his mother. Dallas

Smoking in Church.
The custom of smoking during church
service was not confined to the laity and
minor clergy, for it is recorded that an
archbishop of York was once reproved
bv the vicar of St. Marv's. Nottingham.
for attempting to smoke in the church
vestry
The Rev. John Disney, of Swinderley,
in Lincolnshire, writing on the 13th of
December, 1773, to James Grainger,
says: "The affair happened in St. Mary's
church, Nottingham, when Archbishop
Blackburn was there on a visitation.
The archbishop had ordered some of the
apparitors or other attendants to bring
him pipes and tobacco and some liquor
into the vestry for his refreshment after
the fatigue of confirmation. And this
coming to Mr. Disney's ears he forbade
their being brought thither; and with a
becoming spirit remonstrated with the
archbishop upon the impropriety of his
conduct, at the same time telling his
grace that his vestry should not be con
verted into a smoking room. All the
Year Round.
A Philosophic Frenchman.
About half past 11 one night the con
cierge, in delivering a letter at the door
of M. Meilhac, noticed that the entrance
hall was full of smoke, and that flames
were issuing from a wooden panel. He
immediately alarmed the other families
in the building and sent for the firemen
stationed at the ministry of marine,
who were quickly on the ppot. The
flames were extinguished without great
difficulty.
In the course of the excitement M.
Meilhac proved himself to be a philos
opher as well as a talented librettist.
On being told of the fire he asked
whether the pompiers had been sum
moned, and on hearing that tliis pre
caution had been taken, replied: "Well,
it is their business to put the fire out. I
shall not get out of bed.' Paris Cor.

alleged cures ui imagination, which, im
all doctorr. know, is worth to.n of medi
cine in m:i:iy ca-es. It weins an estab
lished fact, however, that a man who
for years has been tortured with respi
ration several times as rapid as the
normal, and who had consulted many
eminent physicians without relief, got
rid of his trouble between dawn and
dark of a single day after an application
of prayer and holy relics, and that all of
his ailing acquaintances have ever since
kept the priest's door ajar, some of them
going away in the belief that they have
been permanently benefited.
The worker of these alleged cures,
who attributes his succesa to divine aid,
is a stalwart man of fifty years a man

Restitution.
A builder in Avise, a village in Cham
pagne, was arrested by two gendarmes
and taken to Chalons, where the judge
d'instructiou commenced the conversa
tion in tho way usual to his calling by
saying, "You are a thief and an assas
sin." After this polite greeting he went
on to remark that a murder, accompa
nied by theft, had been committed in
the neighborhood, and a small boy had
given it as his opinion that the builder
was the murderer.
The poor prisoner naturally felt indig
nant, and declared he was ready to
prove an alibi. But of course he was
not believed, and every day for three
days he was marched through Chalons
and Avise with handcuffs upon his
wrists. At the end of that time the
judge d'instruction said to him: "We
were wrong. Your innocence has been
proved. You are free."
"Yes, disgraced and ruined," added
the poor builder. "Who do you think
will employ me after seeing me led
through the streets handcuffed like a
felon'r" The heart of the man was
touched. "True," he said, "we have
done you an injury, my good man." And
he pressed into the hand of tho builder
a ten franc piece. Paris Letter.
Electricity from Wind.
Owing to the comparative scarcity of
water power in many parts of England
for the generation of power for elec
trical purjKjses, attention has been given
to wind powei", of which the country is
well supplied. A small experimental
plant has been in operation at a flour
mill near London, the windmill supply
ing sufficient power to run a small dy
namo. The current is used to charge a
storage battery, from which a number
of arc and incandescent lamps were
lighted nightly. Although the current
obtained was small the experiment was
successful in demonstrating the value
of this form of power for generating
electricity. Electricity.
Making Jewelry in State Prison.
The authorities have decided to begin
manufacturing pearl buttons and pearl
jewelry in the southern Illinois peni
tentiary, which is located in Chester.
Warden Murphy has returned from Au
burn, N. Y., where he engaged three
experts to superintend the work. Ar
rangements have been made for the sale
of the entire product, and the manufac
turing will be done on the state's ac
count. One hundred convicts will be eia
plo3'ed in the industry, which, it is
claimed, will not antagonize the free
labor of the state. Cor. Jewelers'

Two Singular Accidents.
Annie Delamater, the eleven-year-old
girl who was choked to death Sunday
afternoon by swallowing a small rubber
toy balloon, was buried from the residence
of Mrs. Kane, 70 Henry street.
The child's father, a widower, who
boards in Williamsburg, while going up
stairs in the house where the corpse lay
at 3 a. m. on the day of the funeral, fell
backward down a flight of 6tairs. An
ambulance took him to Gouverneur
hospital, where it was found that both
legs were paraiyzea, ana ne is now in a
critical condition. New York Sun.
A Walking Engine.
A New York genius has evolved a cu
rious kind of a traction engine that has
both wheels and legs. The end of the
machine to which the six legs are at
tached is supposed to be the rear of the
engine. The legs are operated by ec
centrics and they work in pairs. The
feet are shod with blocks of rubber to
enable them to take hold of the ground.
The originator of this novel species of
draft animal confidently asserts that it
will go astern as well as ahead and will

Successful Hunting.
One day last week while George J.
and Pat Wynne, of Oglethorpe county,
were out hunting, the former found "a
couple of partridges on the ground, and
wishing to kill both, fired at them. He
was more than surprised on going to
pick them up to find that he had killed
not only the two he saw, but seventeen
others besides, none of which he had
seen. Savannah News.

An unusual amount of inventive tal

Washington. She was then but four
teen years of age. Washington was
only sixteen. He had never visited the
low country near Williamsburg prior to
this, and therefore could not have mwt

said that ho fell in love at sight with

VVaah Fruit Before ICatlng It.
The following curious instance is re
ported by M. Schnirer of the ease with
which consumption germs may be dis
seminated. While at work one day in
the laboratory of Weichselbaum, he
sent for some grapes to eat. The fruit
had been kept for some time in a basket
outside the lavatory and was covered
with dust, so that the water in which it
was washed was black. On examining
it he reflected that, inasmuch as the
neighboring street was traversed by con
sumptive patients going to the clinic,
the dust probably was charged with
tubercle bacilli. To settle this, M.
Schnirer injected into three guinea pigs
ten cubic centimeters of water in which
the grapes had been washed. One ani
mal died in two days from rieritonitis,
the two others died on the forty-eighth
and fifty-eighth days, respectively, pre
senting marked tuberculous lesions,
esecially at the place of injection.
The water in which the grapes had
been washed was taken from the faucet,
and the glass containing it had been
sterilized; neither the boy who had
bought tho grapes, nor tho merchant
who had sold them, was consumptive.
The cause of the infection was, beyond
doubt, tho dust on the graiies. This ex
periment illustrates the danger arising
from the dissemination of desiccated
tuberculous sputa in the air. Hall's
Journal of Health.
A Kort of Digital I)freKloii.
Did you ever notice when a man
smites his thumb with a hammer while
putting down a carpet under wifely
supervision and criticism how quickly
he thrusts the bruised and throbbing
member into his ready mouth? People
think it is becuuse tho application is
soothing. Hut no; it is an involuntary
movement, same as winking. The man
cannot help it. Nature knows what the
man would be apt to say under the cir
cumstances, and so she has provided
him with a stopper and lias ordained
that whenever he hits his thumb hard
enough to hurt and it doesn't take very
much to nearly kill a man when ho is
doing something he doesn't want to by
a sort of interlocking system the thumb
flies into his mouth and stops him up, so
that he can't say anything. Some men
whom you and 1 know should be pro
vided with an extra thumb which thfy
might carry about in their hand all the
time it wasn't in active use. It would
be a great thing, wouldn't it? Robert
J. Burdette in Ladies' Home Journal.
An Anecdote of Washington.
It was while plunging through the
"leaden rain and iron hail," at the battle
of Monmouth that Washington's horse
was shot under him. The chief coolly
stepped from the prostrate charger, and
having received from the hands of an
attendant orderly a fresh horse, ready
caparisoned, he turned to the sable lxdy
servant who followed him close through
all dangers, and without the presence of
whose ebon visage a picture of Wash
ington and his family would not bo
complete, and quietly said-
"Here, Bill', take the saddle from
that dead horse and look out for it."
And then he dashed away to direct the
planting of Oswald's battery.
"Golly!" exclaimed old Billy, as he
related the incident to one of the family
on his return home, "who ebber did see
such a man as Mas'r Washington? Who'd
ebber 'a' thought ob dat saddle but him?
I tell ye, mas'r remembers eberyt'ing
eb'ryt'ing down to de bery littlest."

A Lover.
