Forest Planting.

In the coal regions of Pennsylvania
nearly every piece Of available timber
has been cut away to form props for the
archways and for various other uses in
connection with coal mining. Nearly
every stick and every pieces of plank
used in these regions now all have to be
brought from a distance. The Girard
estate has endeayored to solve the pro-
blem by making some small plantations
as a test. Eight years ago a large NUM-
Der of larches and Scotch pines We're
planted: plow burrows were simply
driven through the underbrush growing
up where the old forests had been, cut
away, and one. year-old Seeding larches
and pines planted The larches now
average some seventeen or eighteen feet
high, and are particularly healthy and
thrifty. There can be no doubt, from
these experiments, that forest planting
in these regions would be an undoubted
success.
1t may be noted that the larch was
the most popular of forest trees in the
early planting on the western prairie,
but the leaves were attacked by fun
gus; the timber therefore did not prop
erly mature. 1t finally fell into dis
favor for forest planting. On these early
experiments the larch has suffered much
in reputation, but it must be remem-
bered that the western prairies furnish
unfavorable conditions for the larch.
1t is mountain tree, one thriving in
comparatively poor soils, and the low
altitude and rich earth of western prai-
ries were entirely foreign to its nature.
The Girard paintings are some 1,4O0
or 1900 feet above the level of the sea;
these are the conditions Of its own home,
and the remarkable healtniness of these
trees shows that they appreciate the po-
sition in which they find themselves

The Origin Of Profanity.

Swearing, it is presumed, came in
with the original man, for as Adam was
an agriculturist it is not presumed that
he was free from the trials and troubles,
vexations and weaknesses of other farm
ers. The old Greeks and Romans were
most proficient and picturesque swear
ers, and were accustomed to rattle up
their gods in the most finished style
when things weren't coming their way.
To speak colloquially, it was cold day
when the Olympian deities did not hear
their names taken in vain by the impa-
tent mortals who pursued their ordi-
nary duties or paved the way to classic
textbooks for future generations. This
reprehensible practice has prevailed in
the Latin countries to the present day,
and the French woman says "mon
Dieu," and the Italian or Spanish woman
swears by the sacred properties with as
little compunction as Ootavia or Corne'
liza would have emphasized the name OF
Jove or coupled the altar of Vesta with
an ordinary statement of fact.-New

THE ELECTRIC RAIL WAY.

The consummation of the deal which
permitted the outlined purposes of the
Pettingill-Andrews Co. to take on
growth must, from one point of view be
regarded as distinctly advantageous.
These purposes have been given publicity
in our local columns, so that in brief
they may be covered by the statement
that this company proposes to connect
Bellows Falls and Saxton's River by an
electric railroad for passenger and
freight traffic. The two most important
districts of the town are to be more close
ly drawn together; there is to be opened
up along the line of such connection
land, that very common but exceedingly
limited commodity in this immediate Sec
tion; homes are to be made possible and
public convenience furthered where now
is impossibility and disadvantage; the
development and growth of the town is
fairly promised. This much if the good
faith of the transaction of last week NAV
be assumed. and we think that it NAV.
Parties do not ordinarily drop Sl1 900 in
to projects wholly ethereal, and there
seems substantial reason to believe that
these gentlemen mean business.

In some quarters there are long faces
over the "great risk of letting outside
capital get undue advantages" etc., and
dreadful hints are given out about what
we shall see in time. But some way, we
cannot school ourselves to be sad over
the outlook in point. We take it that
the charter acquired by these "outside"
parties has been carefully considered by
men who had the best advantage Of the
town at heart and that local interests
have been fully protected. Furthermore,
whenever "outside capital' is heard ask
ing admission to our select circle, we
shall hold up both hands for the extern
sion of a most cordial invitation
to ''come in out of the wet" The in
vestment of capital right here is what
we want. If it is home capital we are
glad of it; if it is from toutside" we are
glad again, to have it on the inside. Oh,
no. There is only idiocy in crying down
the local investment of capital, simply
because it comes from distance. The
representatives of this incoming COM
pany are young business men, apparent
ly with wide open eyes, and presumably
not in this section for their health alone
at this time. We hope they will make
money in carrying out their plans, and
we are quite sure that the town will.

THE NC GARRAHAN CLAIM.

'sMc Garrahan's claim will 60 thun-
dering down through the ages as COM
panion piece to the poor who are always
with us. We note that it has again
bobbed serenely to the surface, and it
was the weary duty of Senator Morrill,
to sit down upon it-in new place. 1t
would seem that his exposure of the
scheme should kill it for all time. Cor
respondence was produced showing that
in 1861 it was we'll developed and in
good plotting order, and all through the
later years it has grown in the sum in
volved but made very little progress to-
ward successful issue. 1t seems to have
been born of fraud and nursed on trick
cry, but it clings to its disreputable
desperately enough. Probably it came
nearest to going through last year when
it passed both houses and was vetoed by
President Harrison. We expect to hear
more of it yet.

can't quite admit that the ''hog story
told by our Westminster correspondent
last week is fair illustration of the case,
nor can we approve the unnecessarily
tart reioinder of "Bellows Falls" this
week. The truth is that the village is
not strictly in duty bound to maintain a
light for that bridge, yet we believe that
it would be to it's credit to do it. The
approach to the bridge has been made
most creditably and the light would be a
very fitting completion of the work. And
we have faith to believe that Bellows
Falls will yet see the fitness of it and es-
tablsh the light. But the blandly pug
nacious statement of "Bellows Falls"
that 1--WE pay our bills" is a bit amusing
when all is said. So we do; so we do;
and we borrow heap Of money to pay
them with. And if we hold many more
special meetings we shall have to borrow
more. However, let us keep our tempers
and wait a little.

Make Better Butter.
From Farm and Fireside.

The prices that good butter has been
bringing for several months past are
very encouraging to dairymen, and
ought to be strong incentive for the m
to study up the hest methods and latest
improvements. Where conditions war
rant, the greatest profits can be made
out of the business through cooperation.
In every neigh5orhood adapted to dairy
ing, where there are COWS enough to sup
port it, and where the farmers are good
enough business men to manage it sue
cessfully, cooperative dairying should
be establi-htd A dividend paying
creamery is q blessing to community.
'Expenaes are reduced, drudgeTy Is taken
out Of the farm home, and profits are
greatly Increased, all without the out
lay of money for radical changes in farm
methods.

The King of the Gilbert Islands Appeals
for Our Protection.
A dispatch from San Francisco, says !:
Col. Charles E. Daley, the American
commissioner of King Teburiemo of
Butaritari, one of the Gilbert Islands,
has forwarded to the state department at
Washington protest from the king
against the forciule seizure of his islands
by the British government while nego-
tiations were progressing With the
United States. He asks the protection
of the United States or annexation. Ad-
vice from Butaritari state that Capt.
Davis of the British navy, who seized
the islands, was very arbitrary in his con-
duct. He was insulting to Amt ricans
on the islands and abusive to the king.
Representatives of the king in this coun-
try state that the British made haste to
seize the islands some months ago en- re-
ceipt of the information from Sydney,
Australia, -that the king had gone to the
United States to ask protection.

ADVERTISERS
THE NEW WATER RATES.

The special meeting to consider water
rates can hardly receive credit for bus
mess like session. We have no criticism
for those who carried their point. Who
has the right to say they were not sin
cere in their belief that they represented
the best interests of our people? They
won the fight for they had the popular
tocsin. But where were the men who
pay the major part of the village taxes?
Absent and without representation with
a few exceptions. 1t is the great notice
able failing of village citizenship that
the very men who should be prominent in
shaping the village policy-the wealthy
men who are most intimately acquainted
with business and whose opinions carry
weight, are never seen at village meet
ings. They never lift finger or raise
to village affairs, but leave ''the boys''
to run things.
We venture to say that ten men can
be named whose presence and voice at
that meeting would have utterly changed
its voice. They knew or should have
known that the business on hand was
worthy of careful consideration, and if
the results do not prove the unwisdom
of the action taken, then there is no
longer truth in the assertion that "eggs
is eggs" Much was said at that meet
ing about 'the poor man" and his bur-
dens, and the owner of home was made
(by proxy to claim "the necessities of
life," (meaning water) at the nearest
possible approach to cost. All very
well, but why did not the ''poor man"
speak for himself. He was there, listen
ing to the talk of men who own and rent
tenements and blocks. Wouldn't his re-
marks have best represented his opinion
in the premises? What need of the man
who owns several houses telling the
woes of the man with only one? He
knows it, poor fellow, and if he ever
owns more than one he will doubtless
commence to talk too.
The simple truth is that no man can be
found anywhere, owning his one modest
home, who will honestly aver that $500
is an oppressive rate for water supply
for four persons. We shall see who are
the gamers by the new SO 90 rate. The
taking off of all limitation as to the num-
Der in a "family' is grossly unjust. By
such figuring it can be proved that the
water costs nothing, which will hardly
be accepted. Another sample of the
folly committed is the killing of the item
which proposed to secure from town
schools some remuneration for village
water. Well, "what's done is done,''
and there's little use of discussion. Let
US Judge the seed by its fruits and wait
for our tax bills.
