In many parts of Switzerland smooth
fiat stones, evidently hand polished, are
often picked up. They are covered with
lines, dots, circles and half circles, and are
known TO the Switzers as ''schaleusteines. I"
The origin and use of these stones has long
been a mooted point among the learned.
Some have thought that they were charms,
Others that they were meant to commem-
orate the dead. The characters upon
them have long since been declared TO be
undecipherable hieroglyphics, but it has
been reserved for Herr Rodiger. of Bellach,
to suggest theory that comes anyways
near explaining their true origin and use
The schalensteincs, he says, are topo-
graphical charts, as a comparison of them
with any modern map OF the district in
which they may DC found viii show. The
engraved dots correspond with existing
towns and villages, the lines with the
roads. Even the forks and the mountain
passes are indicated with precision that is
truly surprising. Herr Rodiger has ex-
amined many of these stones from various
parts of Switzerland, Italy and Austria,
and is sure that hey are rude outline maps
of the country ia which they are found.
He has a large collection of them in his
possession which, taken collectively, form
a most accurate map of Solathurn, the
canton in which the majority Of them were
picked up. Another significant and curious
fact concerning the schalo nsteines is that
they are found most plentiful at intervals
of about six miles, and usually at places
where crossroads cross or forS.-St. Louis

An Open Letter from Captain Chubb to
Hiram Atkins.

Hiram Atkins.
Post Mills, VT, April, 18th, 1892.
Hiram Atkins, Dear SIR
In replying to your
editorial comments in the Argus of April
13, it is hardly necessary to state that the
letter referred to was not ul.der the cir
cumstances private and confidential, other
wise 1t would not have been published. 1t
was received only a short time after we
held personal interview which ended
with the understanding that / should by
every honorable means oppose you in the
campaign for the election of delegates to
the state convention, therefore you knew
my purpose and had no reason for believ-
ing that such a communication should be
treated confidentially and especially as it
touched upon a subject of general interest
to the party and upon which you had fail
ed to throw the light which seemed neces-
sary in man who has, and still aspires to
be the leader of the democracy OF YER
mont. The tone OF your comments are in
keeping with your usual course when dis
cussing with a political opponent. A
gentlemanly disposition toward those who
from any cause fail to espouse your views
Is not to be expected, for somehow it is
foreign TO your nature no matter who the
man may be, when engaged in a controv-
ersy which may have beering ON your
political supremacy, to argue fairly, you
seem always, and with an instinct made
perfect by long indulgence, to overlook
any consideration demanded by circum-
stance or subject and descend to purely
personal matters, so it is not surprising
that you ignore the substance of my letter
and attempt to arouse prejudice by calling
attention to a matter settled nearly 30
years ago. II is true that was a member
OF the confederate army and when the war
ended accepted the result in good faith
and again became citizen of the United
States and have ever since loyalty and
faithfully supported her institutions. /
have mingled with the boys who wore the
blue both in their homes and in their pub

many OF them have assured me that the
men who faced them at the front were
feared less and honored more than those
who fired from the rear. Yours Truly,

Adventures of Fair Rebel'' is the til
tie of story by Matt Grim and published
by Chas. L. Webster d Co., New York.
Tho Miss Grim is well known as a very
popular writer of short stories, this is her
first novel and tho it may seem at first to
lack little of the strength of some of
her short stories, she still shows her pow
er to impress upon the reader the person
ality of her characters. 1t is a genuine
love story in war times, in which the en-
tanglements are naturally and easily told,
also showing the misleadings and misun-
derstandings that may be brought about,
by previous opinions. The scenes are
mostly in Georgia, some of them very
vividly depicted. The book is tastily got
ten up and the print and paper are all
that could be desired.

In an address delivered by DIR. William

occupations compelled them to inhale
stone dust was greater than those who
inhaled metal dust. Notwithstanding
this and the fact that coal miners work
under conditions considerably more dam

ARBoR DAY was generally observed by
the schools of the county. Thirty trees
were planted by the pupils of the Powell
district in Kossuth. The teacher, Miss
JOSIE Edwards, planted three with her
own hands. The school yard prior to
this, was one of the most attractive in
the county and this will add considerably
to it. But it is a question whether the
observance of this anniversary by schools
can result in much more than calling at
tention to the necessity of preserving our
forests. The long vacations make it ex-
tremeIy DOUBTFUL whether the trees set
ont in the different. districts will survive
the year. They need frequent watering
not only Immediately after they are set
out but during the dry spell in summer
and then the schools are not in session

MRS EDWARD NOLAN.

Mrs. Edward Nolan died at the home
OF her son, Hon. j. p. Nolan, In the vii
lage of Reedsville, on Wednesday May 4,
1892. She was 70 years old at the time
of her death. Deceased came to Map.e
Grove with her husband and family
nearly thirty-five years ago. Her hus-
band, Edward Nolan, who was well
known throughout the county in its
earlier days, died in 1877, from which
time Mrs. Nolan lived with her son J. p.
Nolan. She was an invalid the greater
part of her life but her children were de-
voted to her in her affection and never
for moment did they cease 20 soothe
and comfort their suffering mother.
Her remains were inferred In the Catho-
lie cemetery at st. Patrick's church in
Maple Grove, of which church she was a
devoted member. The funeral services
were conducted by the Reverend g. Sale.
May she rest in peace.
