price on 3 or 4 staple articles and
make it up by enormous profits on
other goods. Many people are duped

A MANUFACTURED FOSSIL.
The One That Attracts Crowds to Gaze in an
Allegheny Window.

An inspection by daylight of "hideous
find" made in Allegheny Friday disclosed
the fact that there was a huge joke abroad.
The head is not what it purported to be. 1t
could be made by almost any stage property
man.
1t is hideous enough, certainly, but such
geologist as Mr. Harris is represented to
be would surely never try to palm it off as
a ''fnd." If what it was represented to be,
it would assuredly have been great addi-
tion to some geologist's cabinet.

Considerable local interest cen'ers in
this fair because it is held in the new
church edifice, and the new new organ
is used for the first time. Bennington
musicians and vocalists are to appear
during the evenings of the week, and
our organists give each, an evenings re-
cital to the fair. The ladies' fair opened
last night in the new church. The spa
cious building was crowded. The ex-
terror was very attractive with windows
lighted up, and the interior presented
scene of beauty not often seen.
Miss Frances E, Stillson presided at
the organ. She was repeatedly encored,
and several Irish songs and airs her
mother used to render so acceptab' Y in
public, as some will remember, created
great enthusiasm. Miss Stillson wa
urged to preside with Mrs. Parmenter
this evening and co scented to do so. We
learn as we go to press that Mrs. Par
menter has other engagements this even
ing and will he the organist of Monday
evening instead.
Last night there was singing by
chorus of St Francis de Sales choir and
solo by Miss Hutchins. This evening

INFORMATION WANTED.

Insurance men have become so accus-
toned to periodic exposures of some
new form of Beers's triekery and decep-
ton that they place no reliance in prom
Uses made by his agents. Instinctively
the average insurance man is inclined to
look with commiseration and pity upon
those who admit that they have invested
in one of the New York Lies new
policy contracts. As long ago as June,
1887, the papers contained an account of
the organization of local boards in Yer
mont by the New York Life, and an
agent wrote to his home Office, "Mr.
Childs of the New York Life is giving
his personal bond to secure the estimate
he makes to the insured"
These ''local boards" which are essen
TALLY Beers's own inventions, are among
the most disgraceful of that persons
schemes. The men with which these
boards are made up have no connection
with the companies and no interest in
the business that is not purely selfish.
Local boards are made up of men who
are expected to rope i'm their acquain-
tances in order that they may get their
own lives insured at small cost Com
missioner Tarbnx of Massachusetts,
bounced upon this scheme in his official
report for 1886.
Mr. Tarbox referred in this report to
the New York Life exclusively. There
can be no objection to any form of or
ganization calculated to induce men to
insure their lives; but the unfairness of
one class of citizens paying for the insur-
ance of another class will commend
itself to all. Ii the cost of life insurance
can be reduced, all are entitled to the re-
duction in cost rs well as the local board.
As to Childs's personal bond" that is
too absurd for comment. Who is
Childs ? What is his personal bond
worth ? 1t is understood that he has a
reputation not calculated to inspire con-
fidence in his personal bond or in any
other of his personal attibutes.-NeU
York Times, Dec. /, 1891.
The information sou hit for will be
cheerfully furnished at the low rate of
ten cents line.

Oregon All Right.

Last winter the Oregonidn was laboring
for the repeal of the mortgage tax and
usury laws, it could not deplore suffi
ciently the moss backism of Oregon that
was driving money out of this state and
building up the cities of Washington
where more liberal laws allowed money
to be invested more freely, etc, to the
great advantage of the citizens OF Wash
ington and loss of Oregon. 1t now ap-
pears that these statements were all
mythical. Washington as the paradise
of moneylender, has nearly as many ex-
pIoded boofns as there are cities in the
state. Times are reported very dull in
many places and all business men say
that collections are slower there than in
Oregon. A recent commercial report
shows that there have been fewer fail
ures in Salem than in any city of its size
on the coast.-!SdLem Journal.

"Well, the lake is undoubtedly there,
but the only effect it has is to increase
the heat rather than to lower it. Why?
Well, it takes a great amount of heat to
cause rapid evaporation, and when once
the atmosphere is. charged with the
vapor of water it retains more heat than
if IL were dry. Moisture in the athosli
pherel retains the heat. Heat is simply
a question of the circulation of the at
