Wind Worthless.

That intelligent traveller In South AT.
rica, Mr.. Burchell. says that in the dry
season, when the thermometer frequent.
ly stood at 90 degrees in the shade, he
often witnessed small whirlwinds which
drew up pillars of dust, and these pass
ed rapidly along, carrying up every
light substance to the height Of 100 tc
400 feet
Professor Smyth, while at Tenerife,
noticed this curious effect, A small
whirlwind passed close to their tent and
seized upon the end of roll of blue
cloth that was hanging out Of chest
unrolled it, although it was 40 yards
long. and carried it up into the sky so
high that it looked like piece Of rib
bon. There it sailed slowly round in q
circle, accompanied by some hats, caps
and other smaller matters, after which,
descending leisurely, it fell about 400
yards away. Notes and Queries

At the battle of Solferino, according
to M. Cassendi's carefully deduced cal
oulations, comparison Of the number
Of shots fired on the Austrian side with
the number of killed and wounded on
the part Of the enemy shows that 700
bullets were expended for every man
wounded and 4, 200 for each man killed.
The average weight Of the ball used
was 80 grains; therefore it must have
taken at least 1873 Kilograms or 227
pounds Of lead for every man put out Of
the way. Yet Solferino has gone into
history as most important and bloody
engagement.

GEORGE WASHINGTON HARRIS.
Wants to Bulldoze the SITTER.
t.,ndnrnpe VI Ian


Editor SITTER, So. Londonderry, VT.
Dear Sir: Enclosed please find an ar
ticle which want you to insert in your
next issue. If you cannot, or will. not
publish it, please forward your bill and
remove our name from y 'ur subscription
list. If "V ,x' is to monopoliz, the co.
umn, and we are to have no right to re-
flute his blaspht nous nonsense, we shall
be obliged to deprive ourselves of the
weekly visits of the SITTER.
Yours Respectfully,
GEO. w. HARRIS.
Accompanying this interesting epls-
lie was an article for the Free Thought
column, purporting TO be an answer
to "E. b. S." If Mr.. Harris had
sent US this as gentleman would it
would have been published, notwith-
standing it was ornamented with the
rack and thumb screw and between
the lines could be seen the lurid glare
of thertorch and fagot. But as it is,
accompanied by the above bulldozing
letter, we say no with big N.
Drive your old go cart along, George
Washington Stop your SITTER just
as soon as you like only grant US one
favor: Please stick a finger in pail
of water, withdraw it and report to
us the size of the hole you made. One
word more, Mr.. Harris, E. B. S. is
as good q citizen as you can ever
hope TO be and he has forgotten more
than you are capable Of ever knowing
besides, he is gentleman which you
are not. @
1t surely will make ''Vox" smile TO
be charged by this little Landgrove
popgun with uttering "blasphemous
nonsense. In this controversy "Vox"
has taken the same side with Harris.
''Vox' is a Christian gentleman and
this probably is the reason that Harris
couldn't understand him-couldn't
get up high enough.
Well, well, Harris, when you are
older you probably will not know SO
much but then you will make a good
deal better appearance.
In this connection we wish to state
that we are over run with communica-
tions for the Free Thought column,
having on hand more than we can use.
This necesltates a choice to be made,
if it is TO continue, by the editor.
This he will not do, and to make
short work of the whole matter the
column will be discontinued after a
week OF two.
The SITTER neither advocates nor
defends anybodv's religion or non-
religion. 1t believes in law and Or
der and good morals, both for indi.
viduals and communities. 1t is the
friend of all societies and organiza-
tions that, Are laboring for the bet
terment and uplifting of humanity.
Any further than this is nobody's
business.

D. W. Fuller, of Canajoharie, N. Y,
says that he always keeps DR.. Kings
New Discovery in the house and his fam
lily has always found the very best results
follow It's use; that he would not be with
out it, if procurable. G. A. Dykeman,
Druggist, Catskill. N Y, says that DR..
Kings New Discovery is undoubtedly
the best Cough remedy; that he has used
it in his family for eight years, and it has
never failed to do all that is claimed for
it. Why not try remedy SO long tried
and tested.
