FREELAND, NOVEMBER 2s, 1s9:
yermont,s State Flower.

The legislature of Vermont has
bill making the red clover the state
flower. 1t has been dedicated with
public proceedings, and an official en-
craving bearing it has been ordered to
be prepared. The red clover, says the
Youths Companion, which paper sug-
gested the use of the flower, is am APP
propriate emblem for Vermont for sew
eral reasons. 1t has been called the
symbol of industry, and Vermont is
one of the most industrious of states
In special way it is the symbol of the
stock raising and dairying industry
which has long been prominent in Yer
mont. 1t is plant and a flower dear
to the farmer; and In Vermont the
farmer is everything. The spontane-
business and complete unanimity with
which the red clover was selected, in
spite of the fact that other flowers
were strongly recommended by public
journals, showed that the people of the
state held 1T in that degree of affection
which should be requisite for the selec
ton and use of any emblem. The red
clover is an exceedingly beautiful
flower. 1t can be used very convenient
ly as buttonhole flower, singly; it is
most beautiful of all in bouquet; and
its branching and leafy stem lends it
self readily to purposes of decoration
Though the red clover is not a native
American flower, but is botanically
classed as "adventitious from Europe"
1t Is now pretty thoroughly natural,
lied The Vermonters are to be con
graduated on this definite possession
of state flower which is so pretty and
so well loved

The NICARAGUA CANAL
Report Of the Commission
Adverse to the Project.
Not Advisable To Begin Work ut
All-Nearly Twice as Much Money
Needed as Was Estimated - a
Number of Changes in the Pro-
posed Route Suggested.

Washington, Nov. 26.-The report
of the commission to look into the af-
fairs of the proposed Nicaraguan canal
is at variance with all previous prom
ises and plans made public, inasmuch
as it may alter the entire prospect for
the canal. The commission declares
that, from the data now in hand, it is
not advisable to begin work at all, and
that the undertaking would be full
of danger. The Maritime Canal com
pany estimated it would cost sos, $685.
66o to complete the canal, but the re-
port says that sum is not large enough
and makes a provisional estimate Of
S133, 472, 500. A wider channel, says the
commissioners, is needed, and new sur
veys must be taken. A number of
changes from the present proposed
route of the canal are suggested, and
many flaws in the former plans pointed
out. Too much money was devoted,
the commissioners think, in learning the
country's topography, and too little to
learning cost and practicability of such

charge cartridge, described year ago,
provided for concentric layers of eX-
plosiye, to be ignited successfully. j.
d. Bradley, of Johnson's Creek, Mag
ara county, n. Y, proposes to modify
this plan in two ways. He would ar
range the powder in several small
cylinders, grouped about central one,
and he would employ in one cartridge
two or more explosives, differing in the
quicllness of their action. The center
tube, for instance, might carry slow
powder, two or four of the six outer
chambers a medium grade, and two a
still quicker article. Ordnance experts

THE BLACKSTONE WRECK.
Coroner Blames Conductor Howard
and the COMPANY.

Woonsocl1et, R. l., Nov. 2G.-Coroner
James |. IIotchl1iss of North Smithfield
yesterday filed his report on the wreck
at the Blackstone roundhouse on Oct.
5, which caused tho death of Chester r.
Lawton and Edward Fay, The coroner
blames, in measure, conductor Her
bert Howard of the Waterford freight,
who threw the switch, and the COM
pany. The change Of running the
trains from the right to the left track;
the deranging of the block system and
the confusion which resulted in the
hurried orders to make the changes,
place the responsibility to some extent
on the company. The evidence does
not disclose the fact whether or not the
changes of the switches could have been
made sooner.

A THANKSGIVING HYMN.

Sacred wine of loves libation
To the Father ever more,
Gratitude and conservation
From our hearts We'll daily pour.
In the hand extended DER us,
In the golden days behind.
In the sky-bright hopes before us,
Thy compassion we may find.
For the friendships that engirt US,
For affections sacred flame,
For Thy law which doth convert us,
We would magnify Thy name.
Thanks we give for home and nation,
For the blood that made us free,
Seeking still the consummation
OF our perfect liberty.
For the altar fires glowing
With religions holy light;
For the spirit breezes blowing;
For the faith transcending sight;
For the storm, the sun, the rainbow.
Verdant pastures, pleasant ways
For Thy mcrcies constant inflow
Hear our orisons of praise.

Register.

In so far as the decadence of the com.
mon horse is an economic fact, just
view will see that the new industries
furnish more profitable employment
than horse-raising furnishes. Making
bicycles and electric appliances affords
a larger aggregate of employment than
these machines will displace. 1t is not
SO precisely "a loss to the farm and Il
gain to the city;" for with less oppor-
tunity to open new lands will
come an imperative demand thai
our farms be put to more profit
able use than rearing ordinary
horses-in other words, demand for
more labor in producing human food.
The growing city, says the Chautau
quan, means a growing demand foi
farm industry. All the new men calico
to the towns to make horseless buggies
must be fed by new labor on the soil.
From moral and esthetic point Of
view the disappearance of the suffer
ing horse may be expected with salts.
faction. The human brute may be les,
in evidence; the abused beast certainly
will be. The surviving horse like the
surviving dog and cat-whose practical
uses vanish in advanced societies

\ German professor has been invcsti-
eating the energy developed by light
ming stroke. At Klausthal lightning
stroke struck the wooden post of n
house and fused two nails four milli-
meters thick. Experiments made aft
erwards by Messrs. Siemens and IInlskc,
of Berlin, showed that n current of 200
amperes and 10000 volts was required
to do this work in one second. This
represents about 1000 horsepower
and, taking the duration of the light
ming as one-tenth of a second, the total
power would be ten times as much.

IT Is high time that the civil authori.
ties took in hand the matter of cruel
hazing at schools. 1t is reported that
twenty-seven students of Westminster
college near Newcastle, Pa, have decided
to leave the college because of the exist
ence of secret hazing societies among
the students. On account of the recent
hazing troubles the faculty was asked
to break up the societies and held II
meeting to consider the question, but
the action taken was not radical enough
to suit the anti-society men. The hazers
should get into the football games if
they want blood.

half the orange peel in a goblet, the con-

His attacks on revealed religion

scarcely be paid.
That man, said he, "has liberal
education who has been so trained
in youth that his body is the ready
servant of his will, and does with ease
and pleasure all the work that, as a
mechanism, it is capable of; whose
intellect is a clear, cold logic.engine,

to come to halt by vigorous will,
the servant OF a tender conscience;
who has learned to love all beauty,
whether OF nature or of art, to hate
all vileness, and to respect others as
himself. Such one, and no other.
