Ready for the Wrestle.

The Ruggles rotary plow which the Milford, Attleboro and Woonsocket street railway has been expecting for some Time, has come. The plow was made by The Peckham Motor Truck and Wheel Co. of New York, and is some. thing entirely novel in this town. In. stead of having a nose in front to divide the snow and throw it to one side, there are fans, constituting a sort of auger, which bores its way into the snow, picks it up and throws it through a fun- uel, which may be pointed in any direc- tion wished. These fans or blades come round and just miss the rails, and as they are ahead of the wheels, and as they do not have to be pushed through the snow, it is almost impossible to stall the plow, unless the motors blow out. The plow cannot be used to any ad- vantage in the streets of the town, as the snow would be throwo all over the side- walks, buildings and the passershy, but in the opeu parts of the line it is one of the greatest improvements ever intro-

duced here. It is provided with four R. I.

Jonah.

Mine people think the book of .Jonah ought ttet to have been put into the Bible, being subject to ridicule, But I can draw something from John which I think is profitable for correction. Jonah was told to go tu Nivevah and preach to that wicked city Ele went to the shore, strolled up and down and found a ship hound for Taisus He went aboard and paid his fare, being not disposed to steal a ride or cheat the shipment of its due, and hard fure he found. tou, In this he wax worthy of imitating.

A tempestuous sea arose, his sailors became alarmed, and when that happens yok tany look out for breakers. They searched for the cause and found the trouble to be with Jonah. He became convinced te was the guilty que and was willing le make all the restitution possible, even to being thrown over. board.

We may suppose one peti- tion in his prayer may have heen like this: "Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation and uphold me with Thy free spirit, then will I tench Transgressors thy ways and sinners shall be converted unto Thee " Some people think they cannot always find a place to pray. .

His prayer was beard, he found him- self of dry ground. He arose and went to Ninevah, obeying his Master's call. What may we suppose the style of bls preaching was, for he brought wicked Ninevah on its knees. Now, if some of our modern preachers would put inoro dynamite into their ministrations of the gospel and let King James' version alone they might see better results of their tvreaching, even to those similar to Jonab, and when they visit a dying parishioner they will not find a dour shut agniust them.

There was then only one church in Franklin and only tbirteeu houses in a mi'e circle now occupied by this pros- perous town. It was from the teachings of my good mother and the patriotic les- son, at the log cabin which kindled the fire of patriotism in my heart and prompted me to be the first volunteer from this, my native, town, on the fil- teenth of April. 1861, for the defence ut our glorious flag and country. Since my first military experience our country, as well as Franklin, has made great strides. We have extended our possessions west

Dean 20, Alumni 5.

There was a good sized audience pres. ent at the opening of the basketball sea son at Dean gymnasium on Saturday evening, when Dean played a team com- posed of members of the alumni. There was brilliant playing on both sides, but it must be said that the Dean boys sbowed their superiority at the start and main. tained it throughout, their skillful work being duly recognized and receiving bearty applanse from the auditors at various stages. Tbe teams were made up as follows:

Dean-Forwards, Marshall and Thomp- 800; center, Gallison and Towels; guards, Bucknam and Jenness.

Alumni-Forwards, Wyckoff and S. Fiske; centers, Foster and Cosseboom; guards, Moors and Mason.

"There is only one thing I'm sorry for," said Fred Holtzhauser, one of Dewey's returned gunners, "and that is that I ever shipped under an assumed nnme. I was out five years on the San Francisco and the Olympia, and after I get my Manila bay medal, I'm going to bnve my right name substituted on the records of the navy department." "What made you ship undrr a false name ?" he was asked. "I was quite a boy when I shipped," he replied. "Whenever anyone asked me my name after I got away from home, it was so long and unusual that people made me spell it out for them three or four times, and it annoyed me and them. Then I made up my mind to take an- other. n short and American name. which I did. I hear that quite a lot of fellows are having their proper names substituted on the record of the navy department.“

A European scientist announces that if he applies an electric battery to the brain of n man in the proper fashion that man will become twice as smart as before. The scientist elaims to have naed the idea upon small schoolboys. The report says he took ten pupils and sat five of them in a species of electro- cution chair. The other five he sat on ordinary wooden benches. Electrified youngsters, he said, learned the multi- plication table twice as fast as those who were not insulated. Ile does not explain exactly why this happened. but the render is left to infer that the elec- trle current jabbed the ideas into the young brains; in other words, made the brain conductors of ideas instead of miscondnetors. We may ret see every school in the land provided with the new idea injector. Then the right idea may be implanted.
