PLEASANT VIEW.

AS there has been no correspondence
from tine Pleasant View neighborhoo Il
for SO long, we thought that the neigh
boring people should hear from lis so
sleeping. The school is progressing
finely and we understand that there are
twelve scholars enrolled and the most
of them attend, paying no attention Ito
the inclemency of the weather. This Is
a good showing for prairie school and
the scholars who will face the cold
winds and walk through the deep snow
to get IN education deserve praise.
The Pleasant View Literary Society
had an excellent attendance, consider
ing the condition of the roads, and the
members gave Il good entertainment
last Friday. The question for debate
was Resolved, That men of thought
have done more to civilize the world
than men of action" 1t was Il spirited
debate, we'll argued on both sides. The
judges decided in favor of the affima.
tive. This was the second meeting Of
the society and rs everything now indi-
Gates it Is going to be II grand success
with a capital 5. Why we had mem.
bors who came eleven miles and broke
their own roads through the deep snow.
When people get rs interested AS that
in II society it means that we are going
to have Il debating club here tins winter
that will equal anything of its kind ever
held in the county. The value OF i. live
meeting like this properly carried on
can hardly be estimated.
Saturday, Dec. 1G, was the date of
the Farmers Alliance meeting. The
members decided to have AN open meet
ing and several ladies were present to
hear The debate. The question was the
old, yet ever new, labor and capital
question. d. ID. McDanlels was the
leader on the affirmative and w. 4.
McCulloch on the negative. The judges
decided in favor of the affirmative. The
society vsted to extend vote of thanks
to the ladies for coming out to hear the
debate. They also voted to have an
open meeting every four weeks hereaf-
ter during the winter. 1t would be
much better it all members would turn
out and attend these meetings as the
Alliance only meets once in two weeks.
The people of this vicinity nave been
compelled to stay quite close at home
since the last SHOWS came but are be.
ginning to get around again.
Mrs. James Bothweil has been visit
Ing her brothers people at Lake Jessie
the past week,
Miss McCulloch, of Lake Jessie, is

Mr.. James McCulloch was hardly as
we'll this last week AS before. We think
he will be much better when warm
weather comes.
Well, when we wake up from our
next sleep we will write again.

The Castleton and Hydeville Trotting
Horse Breeders association conducted
meeting at Bomoseen driving park,
Hydeville, VT, June 81 and %, which
will rank among the most successful
ever held In this section of Vermont.
The weather on the opening day was the
hottest of the season, yet despite the
heat 1900 people entered the grounds and
filled the handsome grand stand. The
sport on the opening day was the most
sensational of the year in the Green
Mountain State. In the free-for-all pace
and trOt the eight-years-old bay stallion
Mack gave wonderful exhibition of
trotting over half-mile track. In the
first heat, after being distance out, ow-
ing to a tangled break on the first run,
he trotted around the whole field and
won the heat from Orange BUD by a
length in 2:23. Such an exhibition of
speed in a trotting race was never seen
before over Vermont race course, and
the crowd went fairly wild with enthusi-
asm. The last half was trotted in J. ;0S
Everybody expected Mack would be
pumped out by such drive, but he
came out for the next heat as fresh as a
daisy and stepped of mile In 2;l9A,
with several seconds to spare. The time
was announced :20A. 1t was the opinion

Character In Nicknames.

When Austria was only dukedom,
there were three rulers who won for
themselves the respective titles, Cath
Ole" Glorious" and "Warlike." The
first was perhaps a religious man, like
Ferdinand the Catholic of Spain. The
second may have been like Lorenzo the
Magnificent. and the third a great war
rior. And so from these titles or nick
names we have likewise some idea of the
conditions of the people while these dukes
ruled
France has had most wonderful as
sortment of kings. One was the Little and
another the Bold. One was the Stammer-
er, another Simple, while a third and
fourth were Indolent and Fair. These
names are descriptive of the kings them
selves, but it is hardly to be supposed that
a king who was indolent or simple did
much to further the interests of his SUBJ
jects. But when we find Robert II called
the Sage we realize that he ruled wisely.
and that the people were better off for it.

Mud shoes For Horses,

We doubt if very many persons ever
saw mud shoes for horses. They are
used on horses in blowing the low and
wet lands of the valley north of Sumner
nearly every spring. The mud shoe con-
sists of a heavy board about inches
wide and from 5 to 10 inches long, round
ing in tie front. On this board red
hot shoe Of the size worn on the horses
foot for which it is intended is placed
until it burns into it to a depth almost
sufficient TO bury itself. 1t is necessary
that the shoe have long toe and long
corks. = piece of circular band iron to
fit over the top part of the hoof is then
attached to the board and over the hoof
to hold the mud shoe solidly to the foot.
One end of the band is fastened to the
board with a screw, which when tight
ened holds the board as ssuarely to the
bottom OF the hoof as if it had grown
there. The horses become accustomed
to wearing them and after a day or two
experience no difficulty in working in
them. BY this means farmers are en-
abled to plow land in the spring where
without the use Of mud shoes horses
would Ilire down.-Sumner (Wash.)

The Hummfng ofTeIegraph Wires.

Ahe Oh W iTes-
You have all heard the humming and
singing OF telegraph and telephone wires
as you passed the poles along the streets.
No doubt you have concluded that it is
caused by the action of the wind on the
wires and given it no further thought.
But it is not true that the singing is
caused by the wind. and if you are at all
observing YOU will notice that often the
humming sound is to be heard cold win
ter mornings when the smoke from CHM
neys goes straight up until it is lost in the
clouds. and when the frost on the wires
is as fuzzy and thick as a roll of chenille
fringe.
The wind has nothing to do with the
sound. and according to an Austrian
scientist the vibrations are due to the
changes of atmospheric temperature
and especially through the action OF
cold. as lowering of temperature in
duces a shortening of the wires extend
ing over the whole OF the conductor !
considerable amount of friction is pro-
duced on the supporting bells. thus in
ducing sounds both in the wires and the
poles.
When this humming has been going
on, birds have mistaken the sound for in
sects inside the poles AID have been
seen to peel: with their bills on the out
side as they DO upon the apple and other
trees.-BostOn Journal of Commerce.
