The baby cyclone that passed through
this section of the golden northwest on
Sunday last first visited Mr.. John Trub-
shaw's where 1t played havoc with a
frame building used as COW barn. This
accomplished, short run brought it to

partially removed from its foundations,

ARBoR DAY PROCLAMATION

The custom of designating an annual
Arbor Day has already become honored
by time, and the welcome recognition
and observance of it by the citizens in
several of the commonwealth of our
Union.
1t has extended from year to year and
now prevails in many states and will, it
is believed, embrace our whole country
in the near future.
No measure can be devised which will
contribute more to the value, attractive
ness and beauty of our Vermont towns,
villages and homes, than the judicious
Improvement of the economic adornments
of nature which may be so readily utili-
lied by all.
The so general and earnest response to
the executive recommendation Of last
year by the people of the state, demands
that day be again designated for united
progression in the work then so syste-
| matically organized and prosecuted
| throughout the towns and villages.
Therefore, in obedience to the popular
| will, and in the hope that the practice
may become general with Vermonters, as
it has with the people OF other progress
i've states, do hereby designate and set
apart Saturday, the oath day of April, in
/
Vermont. And 1 recommend that the
| people prepare for its observance by an
interchange of views, and by further or,
ganization, discussion and distribution OF
Information on the subject, that the la
bors of the day may be directed towards
intelligent and enduring results.
/ invite all societies, associations, army
posts, schools and individuals to devote
the day to the planting of trees, shrub
berry, and the vine, for ornament, com
fort and use in the parks and commons
as well as by the private home,-aroune
the public buildings and society halls
on the school grounds, by the church
| around the cemetery, and along the road
sides and the village streets.

A terrible cyclone passed over St.
Cloud and Sank Rapids, Minnesota,
one day last week, destroying nearly
100 lives and an immense amount of
property. At one place where a
marriage party had gathered, the
bridegroom, clergyman and nine
others were killed outright. The
storm was like all cyclones, and
swept up everything in it's course fol
miles. On the same day places in
Iowa and elsewhere were visited
with the same terrible storms, though
the loss of life was less.

Grenade Fire Extinguisher." This
is simple contrivance-merely a
glass bottle filled with liquid which
by itself and the gas created by it
will extinguish any ordinary flame
instantaneously. The grenades are
thrown upon the fire, the bottles
breaking by the fall, when the liquid
escapes and the extinguishing gas
does the work. A few of these gren-
AIDES about the premises would put
out any fire that had not practically
enveloped building in flames, and
all will see the propriety of this
simple defense against the great
danger of fire.
Whereas, in view of the loss we have
sustained by the decease of our friend
and associate, Minnie A. Hunt, and of
the still greater loss sustained by those

therefore be it

to the memory of the departed to say
that regretting her removal from our

with the family Of the deceased on the

VENTILATION.
The Best Mode of Keeping Dwelling
Houses Supplied With Fresh All.


Speaking upon the subject of the VEN
tilation of dwelling houses before the
Toronto Sanitary Association, Mr.. David
Dick controversial the theory that the
be drawn off by outlets placed at the
floor level, which is the French practice.
He pointed out that, in view of the prin-
ciple of the diffusion of gases. it is inn
possible to expect that carbonic acid, al
though the heavier gas. viii so far sep
arate itself from the other components
of the atmosphere as to be susceptible
of withdrawal at low level. Accord
ing to Mr.. Dick, the only factor to
be regarded in ventilation is tempera-
ture. The air is cold at the floor line
and warm at the ceiling, the difference
in rooms artificially heated or full of
people beng seldom less than twenty
degrees Fahrenheit Owing to this
tendency Of heated air to rise,
and to be supplanted at the floor
line by cold air comingin from CT evices
in the doors and windows, etc, MIR.
Dick considers that room can not be
properly warmed solely by the radiant
heat of a fire The heat from this
source should be helped by some means
for preventing the draughts of cold air
on the floor.
With this view, Mr.. Dick advises that
rooms should be provided with many
inlets for warmed fresh air at the floor
line. the effect of which would drive up
all impure air toward the hotter stratum
near the ceiling. An outlet at the cell
ing line would then carry off the whole
of the vitiated air AS the warm air be-
gins to rise as soon as it enters the room,
the more it is sub-divided into separate
inlets the better, because it
will ascend by the most direct
line to the outlet; and there
fore a number of small streams will
move the general body of air in the room
more effectually than one large current.
which would be likely to pass through
the body of air without affecting any,
thing that did not happen to be directly
in its path
The temperature of the infowing air
should be moderate, and its velocity
low. 1t is desirable, however, that there
should be only one outlet for foul ali
from an apartment, because If there
Were more than one the draught nj ght
be unequal, and then one would pull
against another, causing a flow OF air
down one and up the other, instead Of
from the proper inlets. OF course, the
one outlet need not appear as such in
the apartment, as its mouth may be con-
cealed by perforated cornice or other

A Foolish "Fling".

Never before in history, it may be
safely said, did the conquered even in a
civil war administer upon the rewards
paid for the services of the conquerors.
This unique spectacle is afforded by the
presence of Secretary Lamar at the
head of the Department of the Interior,
and consequently the arbitrator of Union
pensions Never before in history did
the conquered speak with enthusiasm
of these rewards paid to the men who
conquered him; or declare that they
might well be greater, and that they
were the most sacred obligations of the
Nation. Never before in history was
SO frank and generous sentiment dis
torted and mutilated by political OPP
ponents who never shed anything more
terrible than ink in such conquest.
This has been done by some of the
Republican organs, one of which SAYS
of this defense of the pension system
by an ex-Confederate, that lit glows
with eli the ardor of an enthusiast who
would like to see IT extended to the fel-
lows who fought on the other side.
There is not a line or word or hint
Ii Secretary Lamars report, suggest
ing that he wishes pensions extended
to 1.-the fellows who fought on the other
side He knows too well-if the Phil
adelphia Press. the author of these
words, does not-thaf even if he did
wish it the Constitution absolutely for
bids it.-Detroit Free Press.

ALASKAN LEGENDS.
The Story of the Creation rs Told BY the
AlRskans.

Alaskans.
In his report of the Point Barrow Elk
petition. Lieutenant Ray devotes some
attention to the Alaskans and their le-
gends- During the long winters nights,
when food is plenty, he says the natives
delight to meet at the council house,
or at different igloos (huts). and over
their work repeat the legends of their
race, which have been handed down
from father to son. These legends
60 back to the origin of man, and
they tell with careful detail of time
when there were no men in all the land,
but a spirit called ..A-se-lu'' dTe1t here
alone. He made the image of man
in clay, set it up ON the shore of the sea
to dry, and, after it was dry he breathed
upon it, and gave it life, and sent it
out into the world And he called
the dog from long way off to go with
the man, that he might help in
travelling. After a time the spirit
made the suktu (reindeer), and sent
him out into the laad. and the
teeth of the deer were like the teeth of
to the spirit and said: The deer is bad;
called in all the deer, and removed all
the front teeth from their upper jaws,
since which time men have lived on deer.
and the deer have lived on moss and
grass. Then the man asked the spirit
that there might be fish in the rivers and
sea- And the spirit took piece of pine
and a piece of balsam. and sat by the
river where If emptied into the sea, and
whitfield long shavings from the pieces
of wood. and the stlavings fell into the
water, and the shavings from the yellow
wood became salmon, and those from
swan away.
Their faith in these legends is very
strong, and they are extremely opposed
to any expressions of doubt or ridicule.
1t is only by gaining their confidence
and sustaining from any expressions Of
doubt in their presence that they can be
induced to talk about their people or re-
peat their legends. We heard but one
legend that referred in any way to the
regions of the northward 1t was said
that many years ago a man from Nuwuk
was caught in the moving pack that was
setting to the northward SO rapidly that
he was unable TO return to the land.
After a great many days, more than he
could count, he came to a land where
dwelt a strange people; they spoke q
strange language and dressed in deer
skins like the Inyu. He remained with
them a long time, but, wishing to return
to his people, he left them one winter
and started south over the ice, living
upon the seals he caught by the way,
and renewing his boots with their skins.
The journey was so long that he wore
out fifteen pairs of boots in returning to
Nuwuk Christian Union.

Beyish Nature.
Close by the center of attraction in

the fence the mother was at the gate
with shawl over her head, and a
boy. about ten years of age, stood in the
door holding baby nine or ten months
old in his arms. By and by the baby
began to kick and squall, and the boy
called out:
Say: nam! Jim's a-howlin't''
Yes. know" she replied, but /
want to see these policemen knock
somebody"
Hes gettin' red in the face and

he tossed the kid up and down.

mother without turning her head.
