RADIcALIsM in Vermont is rapidly run
ming to seed. It's Puritanic tendency
has cropped out in that State in man
ner not at all pleasing to one portion of
the people. The proprietors of hotels
in Rutland closed their houses a few
days since because they were heavily
fined for supplying their guests with
such liquors as they .sait Ike inibibing
There is another precious law in that
Radical State concerning hotels. Every
town that does not afford hotel is liable
to prosecution in its corporate capacity
for damages by every traveller who wants
meal and can't get it at hotel.

ONE of our exchange papers calls
attention to a very important subject.
The coincidence of the prevalence Of
fires and cold weather distinctly sug-
gests inadequate construction of aues,
chimneys and freplaces. Millions of
dollars in property might be saved an
nually if care was taken in building
hues and chimneys, SO as to guard
against the heavy fires built in ex-

more suited perhaps for children than for
those who are older grown; but there is a
lesson in the story which none will fail

the simple language in which 1t is taught ::
It was such pretty pool. Every sort
Of water plant grew there, from the tall
purple loosestrile and crimson willow
weed to the creeping money-wort, with
It's golden blossoms. The great white
water-liIIies liked to lay their sleepy heads
on its calm, clear surface, and forget me-
nots nestled along its banks. In the
evening the May flies could not resist the
pleasure of dancing there, though they
knew It might be dance of death for
were there not numerous pink spotted
trout watching for them below, and ready
to dart on them at moments notice
One evening at sunset lively little
trout was employing himself in this way
with great success, when he observed an
intelligent looking frog sitting On the
bank, half in the water and half out, and
croaking.
"Why don't you come right in % called
the trout. "You can't think how lovely
it is. And the May flies are just in per-
fection. Come along !'
eNo, thank you,' said the frog "I'd
rather not"

the trout, alphabetically.
"Can't /, though 7' answered the frog.
''Let me tell you that when human be-

CURING OFF THE WRONG Head
An old farmer was out one fine day look
ing over his broad acres, with an AK on
his shoulder, and a small dog at his heels.
They espied woodchuck. The dog gave
chase and drove him into stone~wall,
where action Immediately commenced.
The dog would draw the woodchuck part
ly ont from the wall, and the woodchuck
would take the dog back. The old gen
tIeman's sympathy getting high on the
side Of the dog, thought he would help
him. So putting himself in position with
the axe above the dog, he waited for the
extraction of the woodchuck, when he
would cut bin down. So an opportunity
offered, and the old man struck, but the
woodchuck gathered up at the same time,
took the dog in far enough to receive the
blow, and the dog was killed on the spot.
For years after, the old gentleman, in re-
lating the story, would always add, "And
that dog don't know to this day but what
the woodchuck killed him.
