Hawks and Trains.

The promptness with which birds take
advantage of the various appliances OF
modern civilization is a strong argu-
ment in favor of the doctrine that ami
NAL intelligence is not different from
human intelligence in kind, but only in
degree.
According to one of our exchanges,
an engine-driver on a Scotch railway
has noticed that hawks of the merlin, or
stone falcon, species make regular use
of the passing of trains.
They fly close behind the train, near
the ground. partly hidden by the smoke.
As the cars thunder along through the
fields and meadows, small birds fly up
In clouds. and while they are bewildered
and preoccupied, the merlin dashes
among them out of the smoke, and
easily secures its prey.
Should it be unsuccessful, it returns
to the wake of the train, and awaits the
startling of another bevy. The engi-
neer afirms that the hawk has no din.
Guilty in keeping upwith the swiftest ex'
press trains.

Kosher Wine,

at is a custom of the orthodox Jews
during the Passover season." said a
rabbi, "to drink q wine made from
grapes grown under the eye of Hebrews,
gathered by Hebrews, crushed and pre-
pared throughout by Hebrews. In fact,
if q Christian touches it, it Is no longer
any use as Passover wine, and either
is thrown away or slowed away In q
cupboard for use upon some other &C.
casion. There has been great amount
of carelessness in the past, but now
that the chief Rabbi has taken hand
in directing the Hebrews of the east
side, he lays down the law, and it is OBJ
served faithfully by those who wish to
be considered good Hebrews. There
has been considerable disagreement in
the past as to what is good Hebraic law,
but it is so no longer.
an the past all sorts of Hebrews sold
Passover wine. Now only about six
persons sell it, and they have to show
an authorization from the Chief Rabbi
before they can do so. Any violation of
this strict letter of the law brings with
it severe punishment. 1t is not only
loss of authorization from the Chief
Rabbi, but loss of money paid for the
authorization, too, which is no small
matter, seeing that it costs from 800 to
$50 for each certificate. A wine mer-
chant from California, Israel Lipschietz,
who lived for time in this city, and
who dealt in wines here before going to-
California, offered to supply the entire
demand for Passover wines, but the
Chief Rabbi said that this was impossi7i
bic. He could not certify correctly to,
the manufacture of his wines. About
1000 gallons of Passover wine is sold
here for use in the Passover season.
Such wine sold under the authority.
of the Chief Rabbi, is called Kosher

hill where the old house stood, although;
the house itself was gone, as was the
hospital.
On this island are immense sugar
plantations and numbers OF sugar mills
which are interesting to visitors, but Of
these shall not say much now, except
that it is the principal industry of
the islands and is carried on to q very
large extent. The appliances and ma
chinery for its production are as CON-
plete as can be found anywhere in the
world. Cane stands in the field in the
morning and is turned out sugar by
noon Of the same day.
There IS a great deal of beautiful
natural scenery around Hilo, and
among other things are the harbor,
Wailuku river, Rainbow Falls, the
Boiling Pots, ETC., all Of interest to the
visitor.
A great many people have an err
roneous idea of the eruption Of alvolca-
no, in thinking that it throws forth
lava, smoke, ashes, etc., from the top Of
the mountains. This in not the case.
Immediately by the side OF the volcano,
of Kilauea stands the volcano OF Mauna
Loa. In the crater of the latter there
is but little action, and yet all the flows
OF lava, and they have been numerous.
have come from this volcano. Instead
of coming from the top it bursts
through the side of the mountain, runs
down the side and on toward the sea.
In 1881 there occurred the last fow
and this was in the direction of Hilo,
distance of 40 miles, and finally
stopped within mile and half Of the
town. At the times of such flows from
Mauna Loa, the lake in Kilauea is low

ton between the two VOLCANOES some.
where down in the earth. At one time
the bottom of the lake dropped down
400 feet, and its action almost ceased
for several months, but since then it
has gradually been filing up until now
the surface of the lake is nearly on a
level with other portions of the crater.
The return trip to Honolulu was
made without any particular incident,
except that it was as enjoyable as the
down trip. n. r. BAKER.

were the words Of command given, and
promptly obeyed-
Now, gentlemen, you will prepare
to receive the final orders of command,
and you will strictly observe the in
junction, not to fire before you get the
word"
The perilous moment of intense anxiety
had now arrived, that tried men souls as
well as their courage. Both of the
young men appeared as if every nerve
was stretched to its utmost tension.
But there was no palIor seen; 40 culver
of the facial muscles could be observed.
Each one stood as firm and resolute as
Roman gladiators, waiting for the sig
nal of conflict, which was to result in tho
death of one or both.
The night was very still. The foliage
of the trees was stirred by the faintest
breeze, and the slightest sound was
painfully audible, as the rich, clear
voice of Ridgely, In measured tones,
gave the solemn words of command.
Gentlemen, are you ready?"
Ready" was the response of both.
"Shoulder-arms: Present arms /:
AimI"
The air seemed stihed with breathless
suspense, for on the next order hung
the lives of the two adversaries.
"Recover-arms, continued Ridge
ly; Shoulder-arms: Advance ten
PAGES: Forward-marchl"
This unexpected order, to the sur
prise of both, brought the two Rangers
face to face.
@Order-arms," cride Ridgely, APP
preaching the young men.
Gentlemen" said he, "you have
both shown the highest courage, and
proved yourselves brave and gallant
men, and 1 declare the honor of both of
you has been fully maintained and vim
Dictated. There is no reason why this
misunderstanding should not now be
amicably terminated"
Then, turning to Thomas, he sail,
Reid has declared that he never in
tended to offend you. Shake hands,
This was a test of their magnanimous
manhood which required equal, if not
more moral courage, perhaps, than the
risk of life. Each of the young men
gradually raised his hand, as if in doubt
the other would receive it, until they
met in a firm grasp.
The party then rode back to Ridge
ly's tent where the now recoDciled
friends were mutually congratulated on
the happy termination of. bloodless
duel.
Thus, by the chivalrous, brave and
noble nature of Randolph Ridgely, who
had so deservedly won the reputation of
being sans peur, sans reproche," two
lives were saved that might have been
otherwise wantonly sacrificed.
Poor Thomas afterwards gallantly fell
MORALLY wounded at the taking of the
Bishops Palace, at the battle of Mon
terey, as brave a soldier as ever faced
an anemy.
Randolph Ridgely, who graduated at
West Point, in 1887, was brevetted cap
tain for distinguished services at the bat
ties of Palo Alto and Resaca de Ia Palma,
on the 9Th and 9th of May, 1916. After
heroically serving his battery at Mon
terey, he was accidentally killed in the
plaza of that city, after its surrender,
by his horse falling with him while un-
der full gallop.
"Sam Reid" as he is Familiarity called
by his friends, is still living, and in
spite of age, retains the same joVial,
genial reputation as bon ami and ac-
complished gentleman . which dis
tinguished him in his younger days,
having attained an eminent position in
his legal profession.

Hilo is most beautiful little town
of $500 people, lying around Hilo bay.
Here, as elsewhere on the islands, you
find the same profuse growth of veg
citation that is characteristic of tropical
climates. It is entirely different from
anything we have at home and so beau
tiful, too, that one Is fairly fascinated
with it.
Here we found Dr.. @. II. Wetmore,
Judge 8. L. Austin. Judge F. S. Ly-
man, Miss Hattie Coan, a great

Mr.. and Mrs. F. p. Baker during
the time they lived in HIlo in 1853,

Immediately in the rear OF Hilo
are three small mountains called the
HaIai hills. They are really extinct
VOLCANOES and the old craters are still
marked by the depressions on the tops
of the hills. In the third one back
was located the smallpox hospital
in 1853, where were quarantined
the passengers Of the vessel on which
NV parents went to Hilo, because small
pox was suspected Of being aboard. al
though this fact did not exist It was
at a time when a great smallpox scare
was going over the islands, and all ves-
sells were suspected. At that time there
were few white people there, but
among the few was Rev. Father Ly-
man, as be was known, who ha a ma
tive school, and his scholars built ma

parents, and it Was in this house that

a Washington county farmer wrote the
Homestead the other day that the problem
of how to make farming pay has but one
solution-increase the variety of the pro
ducts of the farm and make them OF better
quality. Herein our Vermont farmer fully
agrees with statistician j. Il. Dodge who
says in the March report of the department
of agriculture, that while there are excuses
of production of a few staples like wheat
etc. there are insufficient supplies of many
other necessary products, and total alb
stinence of scores of others which should
furnish profitable employment to rural
labor. There is too narrow a range Of
cropping. characterization is essential TO
agricultural salvation There are i'm
ports costing $40 600, 600 per annum
of agricultural products which should be
produced here. These are sugar, animals
and their products, fibers, fruits nuts, bar
ley, etc. Mr. Dodge says, that farmers are
actually suffering for want of hundreds OF
millions of dollars that the sweat of brows
and deXterity of hands might produce in
raw materials for scores of old and new in
dustries, and he instances many products
that are to-day imported into this country
that might just rs well and even better
be produced here.
One OF the greatest difficulties the stu
dent of Vermont affairs has 10 encounter
is generalizat ton. People talk about causes
and effect, etc, but rarely GET down to
business and name practical solution.
Here is something we can tie too. however.
1t is in every farmers power to do some
thing, be it ever so little to bring about
this diversihcation which is so essential to
agricultural salvation.

Another Last Charter Member.

When the death of Oliver johnson was
announced some months ago it was stated,
and we have net seen it denied, that he
was the last of the charter members of
abolitionism. The Peacham correspondent
of the st. Johnsbury Caledonian, however,
n well uniformed man and careful writer,
says that Capt. Leonard johnson, brother
of the famous Oliver, who died the other
day at the family home of the Johnsons in
Peacham, was one of the charter members
of abolitionism-and really the last of the
noble band. This correspondent says, that
although his name will be cherished for
other reasons, as n citizen faithful TO his
duties and as supporter of the cause OF
temperance, it is chiefly for his connection
with the anti-slavery agitation that lis
name belongs to history, side by side with
that of his more famous, but not less earnest
brother, Oliver johnson. He was the son
of Deacon Ziba and Sally 04ncoln) johnson
of Westmoreland, n. H., who moved to
Peacham a few months before his birth
which occurred March Il, 1891. 1t carries
us back to early days to think that these
were the years when Washington lived;
that Captain johnson was born in
log house. and during his youth
lived in three different log houses.
Until within few months Capt. johnson
was to be seen almost daily upon the street,
his form as erect as when he won his title of
captain in old militia days. Though his
physical strength was much impaired and
his mental faculties began to show signs of
couding lie could still tell with JUNCTION
stories of the old anti-savery fight Of fugi-
tive slaves, of mobs, and particularly of
how he toled the bell one solid hour for the
death of John Brown. He and mis- allies
were men of rugged will and nerves of steel.
Vermont loves to honor the memory of
her sons who have SO honored the Green
Mountain State, and we do not doubt that
Leonard johnson. though less famous than
Oliver deserves to stand side by side with
the other members of that band of heroes
who first combined to work for the down
fall of slavery; but our Peacham friends
must not bring out any more 'last charter
members of aboltionsm. The lists are
closed.
