Likes the Sting of the Bee.

Some obstinate men will say ''No,
thank you," to the most disinterested
propositions for their welfare DR..
O'Neill of Lincoln, has a friend who
endures the sting of the honey bee
without 1inching. In fact he rather
likes it. He keeps bees for pleasure,
and the bees, for their pleasure or
otherwise, often sting him. He now,
however, believes himself sting proof
The tiny wound that used to produce
severe pain in former days causes now
''only a little pleasurable sensation"
He is still unfortified against the wasp.
Stung by one of those formidable in
friend had sufferings acute and pro-
longed.
But it might be that after few rep
etitions the sting of the wasp might
cease in him to produce it's singing
effects. SO he has suggested to his
friend that for the sake of science" he
should take the matter up and
thoroughly investigate it, in order that
he might discover whether he could not
also fortify himself against the pain
caused by the sting of the wasp. This,
says the doctor, with whose disappoint-
ment the public will no doubt sym
pathize, the friend declined to do, his
thirst for science not being sufficiently
great to induce him to have any further
intercourse with the wasp if he could
help it,"

A Scrap of Party History.

The Republican party in some of its
virtues and in some of its vices does
not differ much from the old Wing
party 1t will stay athome or it will
vote, much as the fancy governs it's
members, and no good comes from
cracking the party whip over it. In
1910 the Wing majority in this state
was 1868 in a total vote of So
653. The next year the Wing vote
fell off Just 10000 and there was no
choice of governor by the people
that is, the showing by the Wings in
1871 was just about as bad as the
same is this year on the part of the
Republicans. On the other hand it is
an interesting fact to observe that
the Democratic vote is fixed factor
in all elections 1t was so fifty years
ago, it is the same to-day. In 1889
SMILES vote was y, 251; in 1910,
Dillingham; % 900; in 1871, Smile
81 $50, and so on, to the last sylla-
BILE of recorded time Shurtleff's vote
of 10000 this year shows that the
unterrified remain through all
changes of time fixed in their places
like the rock ofGibraltar, and submit
strictly to the laws of party disci-
pline, whether the leader be Eastman,
or Captain Kimball, or Hiram At
kins. In the meantime the Republi-
can party of Vermont is perfectly
competent to take care of itself. 1t
can also take care of the Democratic
party, which it keeps, and nurses ten
derby in it's own bosom as a pet insti-
tuition, and wouldnot have dissipated
and lost for the world-[Woodstock

Railroad Accidents.

Just so soon as the authors of the
railroad accidents are made response
BILE for them their number will mate
rally decrease, and taking this view
of the matter, the Massachusetts au;
thorities have caused the arrest OF
the foremen of the men who were en-
ployed in making repairs on the Old
Colony railroad track at the scene OF
the late accident which resulted IN so
great q loss of life. 1t is not contend
ed by the authorities that the fore
man himself left the jack, which threw
the train from the rails, upon the
road-bed, but that he directed the
men under him to use the jack at a
time when he knew the express was
nearly due, and knowing, too, that
the use of the instrument between the
rails was hazardous; so much so, in
deed. that on some roads its use is
prohibited Immediately preceding
train time. Punch suggested that to
prevent railroad accidents in Eng
land, a director of the company
should always be placed upon the
cow-catcher, but that plan would be
Intellectual in all cases where employees
were careless, as they were in that OF
Old Colony. There are probably no
other persons more concerned in the
prevention of railroad accidents than
directors, as such accidents are enOr
mously expensive pecuniarily, and go
far toward reducing or wiping out
dividends. Directors who cannot
make their roads earn good dividends
grow unpopular and are set aside;
consequently directors are generally
assiduous in their efforts to prevent
accidents. The companies are justly
held responsible in damages for the
carelessness of their agents, but the
careless employe who causes acct
dents, thereby causing loss of life or
placing life in jeopardy, should be
held responsible also, and if his care
lessness is criminal he should be held
criminally responsible. When the di-
rect authors of railroad accidents are
vigorously called to account for their
personal Indifference, neglect, reck-
lessness or hazard they will cease to
take perilous risks, and they will
have a stronger individual interest
in averting accident than they are
likely to evince SO long as not they,
but their employers, are alone called
to account and made to pay the pen
atty of avoidable disasters. In the
case of the Old Colony the directors
get the blame and the stockholders
pay the penalties, yet neither were
directly to blame. They must suffer
pecuniarily, and SO should the per
son to whose recklessness or lack of
care the accident was Immediately
due suffer in some way Philadel-

MORRISVILLE and HYDE PARK,
Thursday, September 25, 1890.

Gov.-e Page has selected for his
Secretary of Civil and Military Affairs,
Henry NJ. Mcfarland of Hyde Park.
Mr.. Mcfarland is a Hative of Water
vile and a graduate of the University
of Vermont. He was for some time
Principal of the Lamoille Central
Academy at Hyde Park, leaving the
school to go into the practice of law.
He was States Attorney of Lamoille
County in 1SS4-S6. He has virtually
given up the practice of law for the
purpose of taking an interest with
Mr.. Page in several business enter
prises. He is a Director of the La
noble County Natl Bank; Vice Pres
ident of the Lamoille Co. Savings
Bank & Trust Co., and is secretary OF
half dozen, more or less, corpora
tions in Lamoille Co., engaged in the
manufacture of lumber. His selec-
ton we regard as an eminently fit one,
as Mr.. Mcfarland is well equipped,
both by education andlegal and bust
ness training, for the position which
ne will occupy.

Signs of Reaction.

There are observable some signs
that indicate a reactions approach
to offset the loss of population in
eastern agricultural regions. There
is, to be sure, no present of the res
toration to farming primary of these
sections. Their leadership in that
matter has departed, probably never
to return. That there will be i'm
provement in the condition of the
eastern farmer and enhancement in
the value of his land are not improb-
abilities. The extent of the available
tillable lands of the west and their
capacity are now known. Great
cities are increasing in the west, and
as they increase the home demand
for western farm products will grow
larger. When the good land in the
west is all taken and that section has
a home market of the eastern agri-
culturist would be appreciated.
The great cities of the east are
growing as rapidly as and perhaps
more steadily than those of the west.
These eastern cities are Offering a
market that increases it's demand ev-
ery year for garden productions.
This demand must be supplied from
near by sources, and the farmer
whose land will not yield grains that
will compete in cheapness with the
crops of the western soil may find new
opening for profit in raising vegeta-
bles for the home market.
The bow of promise is, however,
brightest in the horizon over these
lands whose yield is the most reluc-
tant and the most scanty. Adam
doned and sterile farms are being re-
claimed, not for agriculture but for
the riches that lie under the surface.
The census returns show that in Es-
sex and Clinton counties in this state,
the production of iron and granite
has been magnified within the past
ten wears. and that while the tillers OF
the soil are fewer, the number OF
workers in the other branches of in
dustrv have increased. The demand
for land for quarrying and for min
ing. together with the falling of III
the number of farmers and increase IN
non-agricultural workers, must In
time affect favorably the condition OF
those tillers of the soil who remain.
The constant enlargement of slate,
marble and granite quarrying opera
lions in Vermont must also tend to
bring about reaction in favor of the
farmers of the state, while the steady
gain OF factory operatives in Massa-
chusetts will without doubt help to
make the abandoned chill farms " in
that commonwealth once more valu-
able as sources of food supply for the
home demand.-[Troy Press.

Farming East and West.

A bright young farmer who went
from Vermont to Nebraska some
years ago made a remark as the re-
suit OF his experience which is full of
meat. Said he, eff farmers in YER
mont would live as thosein Nebraska
do they would all get rich
The difference in the farmers living
in the two sections is very great. In
Nebraska a wretched hut made of
sods may contain the family of a
fairly prosperous farmer, and a good
house there is anything that will keep
half a dozen people dry and warm.
There is no top buggy and no care
fully built shed to keep it in. There
are no knickknacks in the house, and
rarely space to put them. Every
thing, out doors and in the house
vehicles, dress, table and what not-is
measured closely by necessity and
that alone. This comes simply from
the conditions found in a newly set
tied country The things that con-
duce to pleasure and ease merely and
are not essential to existence cannot
be had at first by any possibility, and
it is a long time before they are given
much attention. Bread and butter,
shelter and warmth, must first be
had, it is no light work to assure
these, and it takes many slow years
to get beyond them.
Relatively speaking, the eastern
/ farmer lives in luxury and the western
one in poverty-the poverty which
! has the essentials of life and no more.
1t is this fact which explains many
things. The farmer in Vermont
spends hundreds or thousands of dol
lars in his lifetime for things which
the Nebraska farmer does entirely
without. Some of these things the
Vermont man might perhaps go
without and suffer no sort of injury,
but he, as well as all other civilized
men, has fashion to consider The
young man mentioned above finally
returned to Vermont and is now n
prosperous farmer in chill town,
and his remark about the matter is
that if he lived here as he did in Ne
braska "people would think him a
blamed foo" Men like, and are in a
manner compelled to do in certain
respects as their neighbors do.
If the New England farmer envies
his western brother in this or that ma
terial respect he should still remember
his own advantages. He has the
4 things that an older civilization
brings, and in many ways gets more
from his life. He couldnot beinduced
to live in houses made of sods or
logs and, in considering his relative
condition, should not fail to rate at
their full value his house of the better
kind and all that is within and
around it Rutland Herald

Prof. Brewers Snake story.

ments in the field. Stepping along in

his feet, and found that he was stand

him fast. Prof. Brewer held the rat

Stepping aside, he saw the body of the
snake, partly coiled, lying very still.

length, the professor took hold of the
snake to straighten him out. "Quick
