BELLOWS FALLS NEWS.


Tuesday afternoon about o'clock a
slight collision occurred across the Sullivan
bridge. As it was little damage was done,
but the result might have been disastrous
had the passenger cars been occupied.
Four empty passenger cars came down
over the Central Vermont railroad in the
early part of the afternoon, and the Cen
tral Vermont switcher was transferring
them to the side track in North Walpole,
where they were to be coupled on to the
morning train, when the accident occurred.
No. 215 had backed up two cars across the
switch when the Connecticut river switcher,
Dan Bresnahan engineer, coming down
the main track, struck the second car, de-
railing the hind truck and pushing it about
six feet from the track. Two wheels of
the first car also left the track by the
spreading of the rails. The engine, No.
Is, which caused the havoc, received the
most damage.
As soon as the wrecking party began
operations, it did not take long to place
both cars, and two wheels of the engine
back on the track. Blame can hardly be
placed on anyone, since No. 10 was com
ing down around a curve, and as there
were number of freight cars on the side
track next to that on which the engine was
moving, and as they were between the loco
motive and passenger cars, the engineer
was not aware of the critical situation un-
til he was upon them.

The Crows and the Hawk.


A Connecticut Valley Pastel In Prose.
A white-feathered chicken in search of
worms strayed from the yard of Feeding
Hills farmer early Sunday afternoon and
was soon scratching merrily in the black
loan of a swamp near by. big hen
hawk, that was sailing lazily along far up
in the sky, tipped an eye downwards and
saw the little white chick. The hawk had
had no dinner and was very hungry. The
big, hungry hawk suddenly shot down like
a stone and before the chick could run to
cluck or even flap her funny little wings
she was in the hawks cruel claws.
The farmer was cutting cornstalks in
wagon near the barn and did not see the
hawk with Tapping wings rise into the air,
clutching tight the little white chick fright
ened and still. But perched upon some
trees the other side of the swamp were
eight black crows. They had seen it all.
Putting their eight heads together these
crows consulted hurriedly and then with a
loud, defiant chorus of "caw, cav, cav
they took wing. The bird of prey had not
arisen so feet into the air before the crows
surrounded him. They picked at him
above, below, in front, and behind. They
would rise many feet above and shoot
downward one after the other at the hawk
with the swftness and celebrity of swal-
lows. The hawk, burdened with the breath
less chick, could not endure the savage
onset and soon sank among the trees. But
the crows, crying ''caw, cav more def
antly than before, beat upon him still and
at last the hawk dropped the chick and
angrily dashed upwards again. For
minutes the battle ragged over the tree tops.
The hawk was fierce in his defence, but
the crows, using the same tactics as before,
gradually drove him higher and higher
still, until finally, discounted and thor
oughly beaten, the bird of prey sailed off
to the south whittier he was followed miles
and miles by two of the more pugnacious
crows. The others now flew in the oppo-
site direction and disappeared.
Meanwhile what had become of the
little white chick to whose rescue these
eight crows had so chivalrously gone?
With feathers sadly rufiled and her
breast black with the slime of the bog
into which she had dropped from the claws
of the hawk, the dazed chick was slowly
and painfully hopping back through the
swamp to the maternal rooSt. And all
this time, like the peasant who, as lola
tells us, serenely titled his little patch of
earth with the battle of Sedan raging in
his ears, this farmer of Feeding Hills was
cutting cOrnstalks, unconscious of the eX-
citing drama of the hawk and the chick
and eight black crows.

Nothing is more truly artistic than the
simply outlined oval of the perfect female
form, writes Mary Root Kern in the July
Ladies Home journal. 1t is but slightly
depressed at the waist, the hips are as wide
as the shoulders, there is not an angle from
top to toe. 1t is as different from the out
line of the fashionable "well-set-up" woman
with her squared shoulders and angular
hips, as a horse is from a camel. We call
the high belted Empire dresses artistic, be-
cause they preserve this oval better than
the longer-waisted shapes. The nude fig
ure has no belt line. When the weight
rests equally upon the feet, and the body
is held upright, the smallest measurement
of the waist is about where the modern
belt is placed But let the body bend to
one side, and the point of intersection of
the hip and side muscles will be over an
inch above the former belt line. This is
why field laborers, even to the slenderest
young girl, are ''short-wasted For hy-
gienic reasons the belt should never be
placed below this point, and by thus short
ening the straight, under-arm seam by an
inch the beauty of the uncorseted waist is
materially aided.

Remarkable Growth.
From 10000 to SI,OOO,OOO in Ten

The mark Of public appreciation which best

New Haven, Conn, owning aud manufacturing

The Cost of Closing the Canal Gates.

What the shutting down of the gates sig
mites in monetary value can best be IL
Illustrated by few figures. The mills have
been shut down for more than a week, but
for our purpose week of six days, is suf
ficient. Thereby 500 persons have been
thrown out of employment. The average
pay received by these persons is at least
81 day, and that means that they have
been deprived of $4,000. We have care
fully estimated, and there is as much if
not more than 625 tons of paper produced
in a week by the mills "under the hill"
That number of tons is equivalent to l,250,-
600 pounds. In the market at present pa
per is averaging three cents pound, which
would place the value of the paper that
should have been produced if the mills
were in operation, at S37, 800. "Facts are
stubborn things" but there they are.
1t may be of interest to the uninitiated
to know that many of the logs which have
passed over the dam cost as much as 50
apiece, but the average price is 81. The
cost then of the whole drive was $40 ,OOO,-
600. During this week while the gates
have been closed, about 20,0O0,000 logs
must have gone through. At present writ
ing it seems as though the mills will be
able to start again this Thursday night.

Obtained Money by Fraud.

A logman, William Russell by name, by
some means or other obtained a check be-
longing to fellow logman, Charles Dorrity.
On Monday Russell passed the check at o.
D. Gray & Co.'s and received suit and
little over 500 in change. He left on the
$3.50 train for Boston, but by that time
Mr.. Gray had detected the fraud and in
formed Deputy Sheriff F. L. Lowell. Mr..
Lowell telegraphed to Fitchburg, and when
Russell arrived there he was detained by
the Fitchburg police. He willingly came
back with Officer Lowell, who had gone
down on the afternoon train. He then
had the greater part of the money in his
possession. The full value of the check
was made up by his friends, and after the
costs were paid he was released. There is
no doubt but that Dorrity Endorsed the
check and then Russell obtained it from
him while both were in drunken condi-
ton, although number of accounts are in
circulation.

Tho Mosquito In England.

1t will be new to many readers that the
mosquito Is now firmly established in Lon
don. 1t Is to be found in certain large
hotels which are the resort of visitors com
ing from the continent, and the supply
seems to be maintained by constant i'm,
portations from abroad. Visitors who are
familiar with the noise and bite of the mos
quito assert that it is the true pest in It's
worst form, and there is no reason for
doubling their experiences.
A ludicrous mistake in identity on this
point recently occurred at a large colliery
in the north OF England. The menin a dis
tant part OF the mine complained that the
workings were full of mosquitoes" and
refused to enter the gallery. As it takes
something worse than mosquito to fright
en- u collier, the manager went down to ex-
plore and discovered, much to his amaze
ment, that the workings were full Of huge
hornetlike, yellow banded flies, whose lar
vac were Matching out from the wooden
props which supported the roof in the
warm atmosphere of the pit. The buzz and
rustic Of wings were indeed formidable, and
the bite of the supposed ''mosquitoes''
would, by analogy, be something very ter
rible indeed.-I4ondon Spectator.
