The pro- ceeds of the sale will go toward repairs on the horse sheds. It being the wise policy of the officers of the church to incur no indebtedness, it is sincerely hoped the sale will be well patronized. —A GAZETTE ad.’ will pay you. er DARIEN.

Chadderton’s barber shop remained open, while Silli- man’s drug store, Koch’s. barber shop, Northrop’s ice cream parlors and Fan- cher’s confectionery store were closed.

In regard to the top dressing of the newly gravelled road in. the center, which was indefinitely postponed on F. W. Bruggerholf’s mo— tion, at Saturday’s town meeting, some voted for the postponement believing that they were voting in favor of the dressing. They were suprised when informed as to what they had‘been vot- ing for.

The Morgan & Wright single-tube quick-repair tire is guaranteed not porous. This is on account of the way in whiCh it isymade. Nearly every rider has heard of tires that “leak like a. sieve.” ' Many tires rot," because water gets into the fabric between the two layers of rubber. The Morgan & Wright fabric is proof against moisture. Everybody knows how comfortable Morgan & Wright tires are, and yet how seldom they puncture. This is due to the fabric. . Ask any bicycle dealer whether other tires last as long 'as Morgan 8: Wright tires. Ask, also, what the Morgan & Wright guarantee means.

The size of the English w-ar horse reached its maximum in the reign of Henry VIII., when the relations of body armor to “hand guns” were anal- ogous to those of the early ship armor and cannon before the “high veloei-i ties” were obtained at Elswick. There was good reason to believe, says The Spectator, that by adding a little to the thickness of the coat of steel the soft low-velocity bullet of the day could be kept out. So it was for :1 But the additional weight re- quired a still larger horse to carry it. The charger had to be armored as well . as his rider, and the collection in the Tower of London shows the actual weight which it carried. The panoply of Charles Brandon, Duke of Sufiolk, the brother-in-law of Henry VIII, still exists. That of the horse covers the whole of the hindquarters, the back of the neck, fore-head, muzzle, ears, shoul- ders and chest. It is exactly like a piece of boiler plating, and fastened by rivets. The rider sat in a saddle in the front of which was a steel shield 10 inches high, covering the stomach and thighs as the "bre:1stwork” on an iron-clad's deck covers the base of the turret. The total weight is 80 pounds 15 ounces. To this add the weight of the rider’s armor, 90 pounds 9 ounces, and of the rider himself, say 16'stone (224 pounds) ‘3 3.1 the total is 28 stone 12 pounds 8 ”Liza's, or 494 pounds 8 ounces.
