II;, was given to the town after a controversy which lasted fifty years. In 1725 tile land now within-its bounds was grant ed to the colonists under the name of Peacock by the colony of Massachu setts: This claim was disputed by the colony of New Hampshire, which two years later granted this same land to Ithe township of Bow. 1733 Massachu Eetts incorporated Peacock into a township uamed Rumford, and for more than forty mrs a fierce legal controversy was ciAned on. No agree ment could be reached, and the mat ter was taken to the authorities in England, but even then there was no satisfactory nor permanent'settlement. In the face of an evident leaning toward the claims of Bow. both In England and in America,. the little band of colonists in Rumford- fought on valiantly. and in 17G5 an act of Incorporation was granted to the in habitants of Rumford. This was still highly unsatisfactory becAuse it only made them a parish in the town of Bow. The controversy continued until 1774, when it was finally settled and an independent town was formed under the name of Concord. It was due to the devotion of the little band of settlers to their cause and the unity which existed among them that the Independent incorporation of the town was finally obtained, and it was emi nently fitting that the concord which existed between them during the strug gle of nearly fifty years should be memorialized in their town's name. Ladies' Home Journal. DODGED THE WASPS. Simple Trick by Which the Woodsmen Escaped a Stinging. A man on his first trip into the wilds and marshes of an unknown country with the United States drainage engi neers was struck by a unique method they have to escape from the attack of wasps and hornets. The country traversed is generally covered with thick undergrowth, and a path has to be cut through this all along the line. So when a big wasp nest Is reached there is very little warning, some times the axmen cutting into a big one with their machetes. The person relating this experience was some sixty feet behind the ax men with the instrument when all at once the two axmen dropped in their tracks as if they had been lTruck by a thunderbolt. The max behind and the two- chainmen did likewise. While they were lying prone on the grass and wet marsh they heard what sounded like bullets zooing over their heads. One after the other they came with angry zips. When thing's had quieted down a bit work was con tinued, and the new man found that toescape from wasps or hornets the thing to do was to drop instanter. The insects seem to be so mad that they By in straight lines along a level and do not have time to hunt around for you. It Is said that hornets are not so prone to follow this rule as wasps; but the wasps never v-ary. Men have* been stung to death by hornets, and horses and mules likewise.-Chicago Record-Herald. A Record In Fletcherizing. If they learn the art of chewing even people whose food expense Is only threepence a day can make their meals last a long time. A chewer, according to dietetic experts, is one who chews all things so long as they have any~ taste left In them. Gladstone. we arel told, used to take thirty-two bites toj every mouthful of food. The modern school of ':hewers would regard thisf as dangerously rapid eating. "I haves tried chewing conscientiously," writes Mr. Eustace Miles. "A banana has cost S00 bites, a small mouthful of bread and cheese 240 bItes, a greedy mouthful of biscuit (while I was walk ing on a Yorkshire moor) over 1,000 bites. It still seemed to taste about as much as at first, but I knew that taste by then, so I swallowed."-Londonl Chronicle. Comforting.

One of the greatest disfigurements to the landscape as onme looks out the back windowv of the average house is the row after row of unsightly wooden fences wvhich rigorously mark off each twenty- tive or thirty feet cf land and constitute a barrier of exclusiveness very chilling in its effect on one s f-indly dispositionl. Thinki of the beauty of such an out look and~ the aesthetic humanizing ef fect such a display of floral wealth w~ould have on the minds of young and cld It might possibly result also in breaking down some of that proverbial coldness and hauteur which is said to characterize city neighbors.

Iluge and grotesque stone images stand and lie over the fertile surface of a deserted island far south in the Pacific. It is a place that Poe might have sung into existence or Rider Hag gard created for the scene of some fantastic romance. Even its name Easter island - seems more literary than geographical. Easter island, 2,000 miles from South America and 1,400 miles east - Pitcairn Island, has on all the forty-five square miles of its area less than 200 people. But it has other inhabitants, great masses of rock, GOO in number, each carved into the semblance of a human figure, the origin of which is a mystery. These statues weigh on an average from ten to twelve 'ons each, some of them reaching a weight of forty tones. A few of them stand on strong platforms 400 feet tong, and many similar plat forms stand intenanted. At the quarry, which Is a crater (for Easter island is of volcanic origin), a number of these images lie half form ed as the vanished sculptors left them. There is another crater where the crowns of the figures were made from rock of a different sort. Here, too, are found unfinished speclmens.--Church man. THE NORTHERN LIGHTS. It's a Mistake, Says a Scientist, to Say They Emit Sounds. German scientists are greatly inter ested in a discussion regarding new phenomena revealed by the aurora borealis, according to recent Norwe gian and German observers. People living in the northern part of Norway maintained that they often hea'r sounds accompanying the northern lights. These sounds are described by some as similar to the crackling of flames. Accordingly German and Norwegian scientists started out to investigate the phenomena, and one of them, Olav Aabakken, has spent a long time at the Halide observatory in Finmarken. Aabakken thinks that it is very un likely that any sound Is to be beard from the northern lights. He main tains that the human senses are nor to be relied on, especially regarding the phenbmena of sight. Aabakken says that the Idea of sound connected With the northern lights may result from the fact that these lights look like flames, and as people are accustomed to associate the crackling sound with flames the rath er uncritical observer of the blazing movements of the aurora borealis Is apt to think that he really hears the sound of those flames.-New York Press. His Cood Eye. A man who had lost the sight of both eyes jrained his hearing until he could tell by the sound of his footsteps on the sidewalks as he made his way about town whether "he was in the middle of the walk or at one side, whether he was walking past a brick or a frame house or a fence or open ground. He knew in what part of the town he was not only by his memory or sense of general direction, but by the difference In the "tones" of his footsteps, and he walked about freely, seldom running Into anything or any body. Some one in his presence once called in question his total blindness. "-Which eye do you think I can see withy' he asked the skeptic. "The left one, of course." was the reply. "I can see that the right one is blind." In reply the blind man merely opened his penknife and tapped the left eye with the little blade. It was a glass eye. Freaks of Nature. Mionument park, near Colorado Springs. Colo., contains some queer freaks of nature. Among the most sigular is a group of light grayish yellow sandstone pillars twenty or more feet high capped with a thin layer- of dark colored rock which re semble the tops of giant mushrooms which have shriveled and partially dried up. The dark colored capping being of a much harder (ironstone) rock than the pillars has to some ex tent protected the latter from disinte gration. Especially at nightfall is the travee impressed with the weird ef fet of these gigantic and grotesque forms, which in the uncertain light assume the attitudes of huge human or animal shapes.-Argonaut.

Tody Hamilton had an experience with an editor of a weekly paper In Michigan when he was general press representative with the Barnum & Bailey show that gave him a new view of finance. The big show was billed to appear at Owosso, Mich., and the contract agent with the No. 1 advertising car had failed to come to terms with the editor of a weekly at a little junction point twenty miles distant. Hamilton went to the little town, sought out the editor and prepared copy for a double column advertisement. "I'll give you $10 and twenty tickets for- two weeks' service in your paper, two columns, mostly cuts." said Ham ilton to the editor. "Oh, no, you won't! You'll give me $G3 or the advertisement won't go," replied the editor coolly. "Sixty-three dollars! Great Scott!" roared Hamilton. "That's more than your infernal paper is worth. I never give more than $10 and twenty tickets for our stuff jn any country weekly. Man, you're crazy, stark mad!" All efforts at persuasion failed. The editor remained obdurate. It was $63 or nothing. Finally in despair Hamil ton exclaimed: "Why do you make it $63? You might as well make it $163. It's just as unreasonable." "I'll tell you, friend.' -' d td~e eal tor calmly.

PLAGIARISM. Only a Crime When One Filches From the Commonpiace. Plagiarize all you please, provided you steal from the right sources, for the secret of individuality Is familiar ty with the masters. The great gen iuses were meant to be objects of plagiarism. To be plain, the more you absorb of a first class mind the more your own originality is fed. Plagla rism is only a crime when It is a theft of commonplaces from mediocre sources. Let the young musician soak full of, Beethoven. Wagner, Mozart and Men delssohn. That is the surest way for him to find himself. To absorb comic opera music is the way to smother, lose and kill himself. Let the young preacher preadh Bush. nell, Robertson and Brooks. So doing, he will come to preaching himself.. As for writers, there is truth'in the advice given by a great man that the best way to acquire a good style is to read Addison and exercise oneself In endeavoring to rewrite him. You cannot plagiarize the Bible, nor Shakespeare. nor Homer, nor Dante, nor Milton. These bare ceased to be men: they are humanity. . You can plagiarize Shaw, or Brete Harte, or the last "best seller." To isolate oneself from the mas ters is not the road -to originality: It is the road to vulgarity. "Few English authors." says m merton, "studied past literature more willingly than Shelley and Tennyson,. . and none are more original"-Frank Crane In Woman's World. Prehistoric Man In Belgium. Prehistorig man has been traced in several periods In Belgium. and. M. Putot, a Belgian geogogist. has made a novel attempt to estimate the popu lation at different stages. In the lower Aurignacian period five of Belgium's numerous caves seem to have been In habited, their capacity being fifty to sixty persons. In the Magdalenen, period the population was probably sixty. Retreat of the Ice permitted. leaving the shelters at the close of this period, and the settlers on the banks of the lakes may soon have , numbered 100 or 150. The coming of the Cervides forests perhaps developed a population of 1.000, which may have . increased to 4.000 or 5.000 at the be ginning of the polished stone age. New York Press. Whist. Whist undoubtedly is derived from the old game of trumps, which has a p~urely English lineage. There is no record of the origin of this game nor of its development into ruff and hon ors, which was the parent of whist The earliest reference to it Is believed to be in a sermon of Latimer about the year 1520. The name probably 1s derived from the "hist" or "silence"' which close attention to play demands of the players. Glasgow's Pavements.
