US Parker's, and the Misses Amy and
Hattie Fisk, of Montpelier, at H. D.

Oour correspondent last week tells us
that Abel Camp is the oldest person in
town and Patty Clark next oldest. The
Lamoille County Directory disproves
of the statement and says Jabes Holden
and Hannah Warren, residents of the
town, were both born A. d. 1900, and
consequently are older than Abel Camp,
who, the record says, was born April Is.
1901; also Leonard Grimes, born March
I'd, 1904, is older than Patty Clark, who
was born IN september, lSO6. P.

;unsfroke BY Electricity.

4 mighty interesting and suggestive &C.
count OF what may be called sunstroke by
electricity was recently printed in The.St
James Gazette. At the CreuZot foundry
in France Gn electric, furnace is used, in
which the light equals that of 100, 600
candles, and Che heat is such that steel
melts like butter in few seconds. Now
people standing at distance of q few
yards feel no heat, . thermometer five
yards away does not indicate much in
crease of temperature. Yet subtle in
fluence is at work, and a spectator who re-
mains for an hour or two is said to eX-
perience "a burning sensation, with more
or less pain in the neck, face and forehead,
the skin at the same time assuming COP
perry red tint. Later symptoms are head
ache and sleeplessness. Afterwards the
skin of the face gradually peels of in
broad flakes while the complexion is left
of fine brick color" The symptoms are
those of continued exposure to hot, bright
sunlight. In extreme cases they are those
of sunstroke, though the only apparent
agent has been intense light.
As to this it must be remembered that the
quality of radiant heat is to pass through
the air without appreciably raising its
temperature. When it meets calorific
body that body is heated, as illustrated in
q room warmed by glowing fire The
air may not be warmer than so degs.,
while the furniture is warm to the touch,
vet no sense of chilliness is experienced,
because the body and its clothes have the
property of absorbing the heat thrown out
from the fire In the same way the in
tense heat of the electric focus may exert
it's influence at distance. The value Of
the observation, if it is correctly reported,
lies in its suggestion as to the way in
which sunstroke of the indicated type is
produced.-Public Opinion

Oysters for Chicago.

The pleasing intelligence is made public
here that nearly all the oysters which Chicago
spieures and others have been eating are sub
jected to such vigorous hydropathic treat
ment as to render them practically without
flavor. 1t IS explained that the 'shuckers"
in the Baltimore packing houses in opening
the oysters throw OF all the liquid, as they
are paid SO much a gallon for 'solid meats :"
The oysters are then thrown into a larger
colander holding about a barrel, and as soon
as it is filled stream Of cold water in the
shape of spray is turned upon the oysters
for a considerable length Of time, for the
purpose of bleaching them and bloat-
ing them The practical effect of this is
completely to deprive them of their original
flavor; but, as if this was not enough, large
piece of ice is put in barrel and the oysters
are then poured into the barrel and the
barrel headed up. In this condition they are
shipped to Chicago. Over 100 carloads Of
oysters were shipped to Chicago from Balti-
more last year, and after being subjected to
the cheering process of an all rail ride to this
city their condition is in no wise improved

Singular Trio on Broadway.

In upper Broadway is frequently seen a
singular trio. Its most striking figure is a
man servant, Of the English pattern, who
wears high hat with band of cloth around
It and dark blue coat, reaching to his shins,
and doubtless covering more emphatic iv-
cry. He is as stiff as though frozen by the
blizzard, and his countenance is utterly e1-
pressionless. He carries two umbrellas under
one arm. The next person, taking them by
size, is prim looking woman of 10, whose
plainness Of dress is very careful when you
como to look at it critically. The third
and important person is girl of 10, jaunty
in dress and air, and with a distressing
self consciousness considering her youth.
Her hand rests in a proprietary manner
on the arm of the woman, while the man
servant walks deferentially yet pompously
behind them. The child is going to fash
ionable dancing school for private lesson.
The woman is her governess, who instructs
her in most of the branches Of education, and
who is now escorting her to the dancing
master. The lackey goes along ostensibly to
protect the extra precious heiress, but really
to give impressiveness to the procession as a
sort of drum ma jor.-New York Sun.

How the AncientS Gamhled.

Lanciani forwards to the Athenaum an
account of the gambling tools found in q
tomb near Perugia. Italy. Glass spheres
Of various colors,. SIC small hemisphere
Of glass in blue, yellow and white, and SO
marbles" Of an elliptic form, are puzz-
lers to the antiquarian. There were SIX
teen bone labels four inches long, with a
word on one side and number on the
other. The first twelve numbers in this
game appear to have been unlucky, since
the names given them on the labels up to
that number are spiteful or scurrilous, as
if the gambler personified the throw and
liked to call it by some villainous term.
No. Is is neither good nor bad, hence it Is

History of q Locomotive.

There lately entered the Grand Central
depot the other day q locomotive with a
tragic history. 1t was the locomotive
which drew q train to the first frightful
railroad accident that ever occurred. Up
to 1S4S, while there had been some catas-
tropics on the railroads, there had been
none accompanied by great slaughter, but
that year this engine drew part of a
train on the New Haven road into an open
draw at Norwalk and caused great loss
Of life. The accident was the sensation
Of the year. The engine was 1shed out
and repaired, and has been running on
the road ever since.
A singular circumstance connected with
this accident is that it indirectly proved
the fortune of the man whose incorrect
signals caused it. He fed and settled in
western Pennsylvania, and was the vic
tim for many years Of remorseful reflec-
tions on his carelessness. But it was this
man who first dug an oil well in what is
now the oil region and developed this
colossal industry.-New York Evening

Feminine Swells as Photographers.

The feminine swells of New York have gone

photographers, and in several cases photo
graphing parties are held by appointment

manipulate the plates, and SO the results are
reached at the time and place of meeting.
The girls pose the human objects, aim ths

tographs completely mounted on cards The
pictures range from artistic prettiness to
clumsy comicality. Composite photographs,
showing the amalgamated faces Of a whole
coterie, are q favorite fancy. Again, the
casual caller is liable to be invited by his
young hostess into the conservatory, not for
sentimental chat among the flowers, but to
sit before her lens. If she be beautiful and

What DIR. r,tu. n1un..n coan s.u.

In the matter Of eating the lecturer said
that the notion accepted by thousands
that we must leave the table hungry is
nonsense and rubbish. An ascetic is just
as bad as glutton, and both by their
conduct pave the road to disease and dis
ability. Dr.. Coan didn't think much Of
vegetariaas. He believed we were born
to eat meat. For consumptives he recon-
nended pure air, milk, butter, starchy
foods, sttmulants and food rich in fats.
People with liver complaints must let
sugar, starchy foods and fats alone.
Nervous people should eat fish, meats and
milk. Folks in the professional line and
brain workers must have lots Of meat,
dsh. milk and vegetables.
The announcement was made that we
have few gluttons in this country because
nearly everybody is en- such q dead rush.
Milk, boiled, fresh and skinned, or with
q certain share Of lime water and kounyss
were cracked up, and young sud old,
nervous and dyspeptic people were told to
drink milk in either Of these forma.-New
