PASSUMPSIC.

The people of this village were
startled Saturday evening last by
observing a bright light on the
hill in the direction of Hazen Hyde's
house Some trees partially hid the
view but between and through them the
flames were plainly visible. Within five
minutes several teams with as many
occupants as could crowd into them had
started tor the scene of the conhagration.
We were determined to put out that fire
or die in the attempt. Several of the
ladies and boys did active service in ring
ing the school house bell. We were near
ing the scene, when we were met by a
party who were before us in starting,
who cried: "Hurry boys, Hazen Hyde
brush hear is all fire." 1t is needless to
say we hurried-home. On the way
we met Others who were en- route for the
fire, to whom we impaired the intelli-
gence lately given us. Some little delay
was caused while descending the hill be-
low Mr.. Benefits, and upon inquiring
the cause we were informed that the St.
Iohnsbury fire brigade were coming.
This, however, proved to be a mistake.
The unanimous verdict of those who at
tended the fire was that nine O'Clock Sat
urday evening was rather late i'll the
week to begin to burn brush.
The sociable was quite successful, the
Christian Endeavor society making
about nine dollars to 60 towards the
new bell.

LOW SHOES.

Three years ago ladies' low shoes were
worn only during the warm months of
the summer, and high button or laced
shoes the rest of the year.
Now large proportion of ladies wear
low shoes the year around, with pair
of overgaiters for the cold weather.
By so doing, the extra expense of high
shoes is avoided, and the ankles are bet
ter protected against cold and damp by
the cloth covering of the overgaiter than
by the kid of the boot tops.
An Oxford that we sell for SIPS, costs
$500 in high boot of same style. A
low shoe that we sell for $3.50, costs
$500 in the high boot.
We therefore have health, economy and
good looks in favor of the Oxford
This year, in view OF the increased use of
and demand for low shoes, we have put
in large and better line than ever
before of Oxfords and shall be always
glad to show them.

Heat Value of Coal.

The IMPORTANT fact has over and over
again been stated by those wo have in
vestigated the subject with scientific ex-
actness that only about or S per cent
of the total heat value Of coal is utilized
in an engine by heating transformed
into power. In tracing up this loss it is
stated that there are required some
1900 degrees of heat, or heat units
not degrees of temperature-to change
one pound of water into steam. while
during the absorption of this amount of
heat the temperature of the water re-
mains at 212 degrees. This immense
amount of steam is rendered latent and
does not sensibly affect the thermometer
Scientific authorities explain the cause
of this loss in the steam engine as due
to the fact that the 900 degrees absorbed
by water in being transferred into steam
-212 degrees are apparent upon Their
mometer, and which, added to 900,
make up the 1909 degrees above men,
tioned-go into the engine unindicated
by the thermometer, leave in the same
manner and go to waste New York
Sun.

How to Clean Old Book Plates.

To restore old book plates that have
been injured by age and damp proceed
as follows: Place upon fiat surface a
sheet of white paper, somewhat larger
than the print to be cleaned Carefully
dampen the print on both sides with a
soft, wet sponge, and then saturate it
with mixture of chloride of lime and
o1alic acid dissolved in about equal pro-
portions in pint of cold water. You
can tell when the mixture is right by
its turning magenta color. Continue 10
apply it until every stain or spot has
disappeared, and then with a clean
sponge wash the print freely with cold
water. Art American.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced In the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of a perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
It has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in Soc and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, whose name is printed on every
package, also the name, Syrup of Figs,
and being well informed, you will not
accept any substitute if offered.
