WEST BRATTLBBoRO.
The Western Engine Company at Rut-
land.

Although the Western engine BOYS did
not bring home the big prize from Rutland,
as they hoped to do, they had a fine time
at the tournament and did themselves cred
it, considering the circumstances under
which they played. Their engine was sent
up on Friday in charge OF detail, and the
company, about 30 men strong, left the
East village by special train to Bellows
Falls at l:45 Saturday morning, arriving
in Rutland at 9. OF their appearance in
the procession the Rutland Herald says:
They wore white shirts, dark straw hats
and plain dark belts. Their engine was
trimmed with flags and was drawn by two
plumed horses The company was pre-
coded by the West BrattlcborO drum corps
of four pieces. When it came to the grand
contest of the day. which began about
r. NJ, the fates were against the company,
for it rained harder and the wind was high
er than at any other time during the trial.
The wind drove almost dead against the
stream, and il rained so hard that it was
almost impossible to tell how far the water
from the engine was thrown. On their
third trial their distance was fixed at $50
feet, u inches. Ten hand engine cOmpa-
MES competed and the Westerns were the
third in order to take their trial. The first
money was won by the company that played
last, the Unions of Salem, y. Y, who
played 200 feet, ~ inches. This company $
machine has a record of 217 feet made at
Whitehall, y. Y, in 1880. The company
have entered in rs contests and won first
money in 10 of them. They had - men
on the brakes at Rutland. Second money
was taken by the NJ. b. Titles of Glens
Falls, y. Y, who made record OF 1874
feet, 3 inches. The Westerns throw was
the third best on the list. The boys got
home about l O'Clock Sunday morning
They think the joke is on the East viii
lage policemen who were at the station to
keep them straight, but found them as
sober and orderly as if just home from a
Sunday school picnic.

On the editorial page of the Herald on
the same day, Thursday, appeared the
following, under the heading 'Brattleboro
school Committee:
The HeraId's Comments.
In another column of today's Herald
two letters are given which have a special
interest for the people in the lovely village
OF Brattleboro, Vt. They are not of vital
importance in the eyes of the public at
large, but we have found it necessary to
give them space, partly as matter of JUS
tice to ourselves, inasmuch as the Herald
has been accused in Brattleboro of misrep-
reSentatiOn.
The school trouble in that town has
brought on high state of excitement, and
with new election coming on this month
it is natural that personal anXieties for the
future should harass the minds of men.
Little comment is called for on the letters
published today. We are willing, chart
tably, to accept the statement of member
of the committee as contained in private
note dated July I, that the only unfortun-
ate thing has been our misunderstanding
OF the interview
lie could not say less after Col. Clarke S
strong statement; but in all the relations
OF life, particularly of business life, men
are rightly expected to fix to their memory
with hooks of steel such conditions and
promises as were agreed to in this office by
Messrs. HOltOn and StOddaTd. Public men
cannot afford to have them so lightly shaken
OF by other thoughts and purposes.
I'VE now propose to dismiss the matter
as Tar as our columns are concerned, with
assurances of our high regard for all the
people of BrattlebOrO, whose servant the
Herald is and will be-"

The Value of Onions.

While the onion stands at a disadvan-
tage among vegetables on account of its
pronounced and not wholly agreeable odor,
it is doubtless one OF the most valuable
and healthful products of the garden.
This value is not confined TO its use as an
article of diet, since the efficiency of onion
poultices in cases of Group and similar dis
eases are too well known to need repeti-
ton. The roasted heart of an onion placed
in the ear as hot as it can be borne will
often relieve cases of earache when other
remedies fail, and very excellent cough
sirup is made by putting one-half cup of
minced onions into cup each Of vinegar
and molasses, simmering on the stove for
half an hour and then straining. A tea
spoonful of this strip taken frequently
will relieve severe cases Of cough and
hoarseneSs.
1t is claimed that onions, as an article OF
food, are excellent blood purifiers, greatly
improving the complexion and, of course,
entirely harmless. AS a nervine, they are
very beneficial, either cooked or raw, and,
if eaten in the natural state, the addition
of little salt or pepper makes them more
palatable.-Good Housekeeping.

Making Both Ends Meet.

When young people find themselves fol-
the first time earning their own living
with no father TO fall back upon, they art
apt to be astonished at the way Their
money goes. II never seems enough
Everything costs a great deal more than
they thought it would, and when they have
to buy three dollar garment out of an
eight dollar weekly salary it comes home
10 them with new force that three from
eight leaves only five.
They had often done such sums at school
on their states, and it seemed quite nat
ural, but now, when their board and wash.
ing cost $3.50, it is something awful TO
find that their wages for a week will not
quite pay for board and trousers too.
Then for the first time black care settles
down upon the young soul, and he won
ders that, out of all the instructors of his
childhood and youth, TO one ever took the
trouble to explain to him this fearful diff
Guilty of making both ends meet. Perhaps
he now remembers the cloud that hung
over his fathers brow, and the anxious
look upon his mothers face, when bust
ness was dull, or work was slack, or unex-
pected expenses had to be borne youths

A EallacY.

One of the fallaeies of the present hour is
the belief that tar camphor," or mothar
line, will keep clothing free from moths.
The first part of the deception is that it
contains neither camphor nor tar. It's
proper name is naphthalin. According to a
specialist, DR.. kolinski, 'naphthalin may
affect the eyes in an extraordinary manner,
through its property of deleteriously af-
fecting the natritive property of blood.
The eye being vascular organ, its strpc-
ture readily uudergoes degeneration. The
effects of it are ecchymosis, white patches
in the retina, cloudiness in the lens and
crystals in the vitreous humor."
Because of its cheapness, housewives use
it so pleutifully that one is suffocated by
its sickening odor on entering many dwell
fnRs and stores. While it produces catarrh,
only those who are afflicted with the dis,
ease can endure it without suffering from
smarting of the eyes and throat when in
contact with the pungency of its oder
Only care and absolute cleanliness can pro
tect from moths. A few whole cloves ,put
in with the clothing and inclosed in news
papers is better preventive than naph

Fortunes from Small Inventions.

The ordinary stylographic pen has made
a large fortune for its inventor, and now Z
similar pen for shading in colors has been
invented, which annually brings in to its
inventor the snug income of $50, Some
years ago metal tipped and heeled shoes
and boots for city use were the great rage
and the man who first thought of this
simple device for saving shoe leather reaped
a fortune of million dollars in ten years
Before that day another man had accumu-
lated fortune in inventing the old fash
<oned brass tipped shoes, which prevented
little boys and girls from kicking a hole in
the soft leather uppers.
Such simple devices were hardly worth
the money which they realized for the in
ventors, but they took the public eye, and
many millions OF them were manufactured
annually for long time Today, however,
they are little used and the patents yield
the heirs of the inventors very little money

A Word About Skirts,

What seems an extravaganza to many
women is the silk skirt which good
dresSmaker always insists a wool gown
shall be made over. Yet even to the econ
omist there are several points in its favor.
One silk lining often serves during the
reign of two gowns, the foot ruf1e, per
haps, being replaced. 1t is lighter than
cambria, and has, besides, a certain buoy
ancy, which adds to its want Of weight.
Its slippery surface prevents the wool cling
ing and does away with the disagreeable
swathed sensation which wool gowns on
cambria Innings are sure to evolve. One
may even economic little in the amount
of overmaterial when the silk skirt is
used. 1t is beginning to be understood
that there is rationale at the bottom Of
man. so called extravagances; no woman,
for instance, nowadays who respects her
self wears the atrocity known as a sham
skirt-and the silk underskirt is a con
spicuous example of such we'll conditioned
luxury.-Her Point of View in New York
