was to blame for the collision; said
he got a holding order and forgot it;
saw Drew walking fast away from
the wreck; Drew told him that he
was going to get out, was afraid it
would come on him.
John Ahearn, train dispatcher at
Lvndonville, testified as to the order
given to train No. s.
Mr.. Bowker testified to Drew's say
ing there had been an accident, but
nobody was hurt, only two or three
cars off the track.
0. H. Henderson, station agent
and operator at St. Johnsbury testi-
fed to seeing Drew just before the
train left; talked with him about ac-
cidents that had happened; Drew
said he was all ready to go on with
his train; gave no other order to
Drew that day.
Here the prosecution rested its
case.
The defence called but one witness.

law of Drew, testified to the latter's
coming to Swanton to bury a child

to work on the Central Vermont in
February last; Drew was away

DROWNED WHILE BATHING.

William Walter Fitzsimmons was
drowned while bathing last Sunday
evening just below the old Henry
Ross place on the Centre road. Fitz-
simmons, Willie Murphy and John
Mcfarland went down to the river
to go in bathing, and the latter was
the only swimmer in the crowd. The
other two boys were wading in the
water when Fitzsimmons walked in
to hole and disappeared from
view. Mcfarland was some distance
away from the scene of the ac-
cident, and as the body did
not rise it is presumable that Fitz-
simmons was attacked with the
cramp. 1t was nearly an hour be-
fore the body was recovered. The
remains were inferred Monday in
Mt. Pleasant cemetery.
Mr.. Fitzsimmons was 21 years old
and unmarried His home was in Eng
land and he had no relatives in this
country. He had been working for
Mr.. Mcfarland this summer on his
farm

Err. BUNDY CONFIRMED.

Fred 6. Bundy was nominated for
postmaster by President Cleveland
last week and confirmed by the
senate Saturday. Mr.. Bundy will
take possession of the office as soon
as possible, though it is doubtful if
he will begin the quarter which COM
mences July 1. Mr.. Bundy has
made no plans about his shoe busi-
ness yet. AS soon as Mr.. Bundy was
chosen by St. Johnsbury democrats
he received a letter from Postmaster
Randall announcing that he should
retire from the office as soon as Mr..
Bundy took possession and go into
business. When Mr.. Bundy becomes
postmaster our postoffice contro-
versy will have been settled, and it is
needless to add that it will have been
settled in a manner highly satisfac-
tory to the majority of the patrons
of the Office.

The Color of Man.

The color of the skin in the various
races of man has never yet been scien-
tifically accounted for, although numcr-
Gus NEUROLOGICAL stories have been told
and senseless theories advanced as rea-
SONS for the remarkable variations in
hue. Nor have we any certain data
concerning the color of the cuticle of
the primeval man, the original lord
of creation. A pretty African legend
is that he was us black us the proven
bal acc of spades and that tho present
pale color of the Caucasian race is the
result of the scare God gavo Adam at
the time of the fall.
1t is proper to state here that the
same legend says that the present black
race are descendants of ono of Adams
sons that was born and left Eden before
tho great change III color overlook our
first parents. The Chinese believe that
the original man was creature half
god and half man, and that his color
came about as Il result Of bathing in n
river of liquid gold Tho Mussulmans,
the American Indians and several orr
entail tribes and nations account for
their prevailing red or copper color by
telling the story of the great being Gre

Soap For Chapped Hands.

Contrary to the general notion. :"
said well known chemist, good toilet
soap is the best preventive against
chapped hands that can be used.
don't mean its general use in wash
ing, but as Il salve or balm, Just as YOU
would apply camphor ice or vascline.
While the common soap generally used
for cleaning about the house is of an
alkali nature and chaps the skin terri
bly,, a coed toilet soap is neutral and
acts as Il balm to the irritatcd skin. In
my business | have to wash my hands a
great number of times day At first
L had great trouble, for my skin, being
naturally tender, chapped easily, max
ing large cracks in the flesh which made
1t dangerous for me to work in acids.
at last discovered by covering nv
hands with good toilet soap after | had
washed rubbing it well into tho
skin-that' | not only prevented chap
ping, but kept my hands in elegant
condition. Naselino and salvcs are very
good, but none of them can do tho work
of first class toilet soap. As | said,
toilet soap is neutral a person could
eat 1t without injury. Why, many of
the pills which are prescribed for YOU
are made out of nothing moro than tot
let soap. "-Pittsburg Dispatch.

WATER LOCATION SENSE.

dhc Strange Faculty Possessed by Some
Reptiles Even When Dccapitntcd.
Reptiles and batrachians usually pos
sess what may DO termed the water To-
cation sense.
My attention was first called to this
by my brother, who, while engaged in
II natural history expedition in south
eastern Texas, had what at the time we
both considered n unique experience
with Il large sea tortoise.
This tortoise had been surprised some
distance from the water, among the
sand dunes that line tho gulf shore, and
OH being overtallen had its head chop
ped off preparatory to serving as Il very
toothsome addition to our dict. Much
to tho surprise of the party tho bchead-
ed animal continued on its way toward
the water
Several times it was turned around,
entirely or part way, but every time it
was able to right its position perfectly
and again make directly for the water.
AT the time this was narrated to me
l was of the opinion that there must
have been something in the contour of
the land that enabled the tortoise to
regain tho correct direction in each
case.
Since then 1 have had numerous
proofs that this ability belongs to
number of species of these animals in
tho West Indies, and that tho loss of
eyes and nasal organs, of tho entire
head and neck, in fact, apparently
works no Inconvenience to them in this
particular. This is Il family character
istic which, so far rs l have been able
to find, is not alluded to in any work
concerning them.
Tho same singular ability may be OBJ
served in certain species of water fire.
