St. Valentines Day

Did not create many ripples Of excite
ment in Bellows Falls this year. This day
as day Of popular observance, is in less
and less favor each year. However, the
fortunes of the day-in memory Of St.
Valentine, famed for charity and forbear-
ance-have waned, we may be sure that
England, where the custom originated,
has best preserved its traditions and pc
culiarities. On the aeve of. the 18th of
February, the young folks, by a very an
Gent custom, celebrate festival. An
equal number of maids and youth congre-
gate. Each write their true or some
feigned name upon separate billets which
they roll up and draw by way of lots, the
maids taking the mems, vice versa SO that
each of the young men lights upon girl
that he calls his valentine, and the girls do
the same. By this means each has two
valentines, but the man sticks faster to the
valentine that is fallen to him than to the
valentine to whom he is fallen. Fortune
having thus divided the company into so
many couples, the valentines give balls and
treats to their mistresses, wear their billets
several days upon their bosoms or sleeves,
and this little sport often ends in love.

Bellows Falls Locals.

c. S. Gates is in Ludlow with three men
doing job of wood finishing for George
Knight.
Miss Lizzie Connors, an employee at
Towns Hotel, suffered the fracture of u
bone in the foot as the result of fall Sat-
urday evening.
The Fortnightly club will meet at the
residence of c. w, Osgood tomorrow
evening, instead of Friday, the regular
night for meeting.
The store now occupied by A. II. Bissel|
will undergo extensive repairs as soon as
vacated by Mr.. Bissell, and will then be
occupied by the New York Racket.
A. P. Pollard of the New Metropolitan
hotel of Little Falls, N. Y, visited friends
in town over Sunday. Mr.. Pollard says
that the New Metropolitan is doing a fine
business and he likes in Little Falls very
much.
-Four couples started from Towns hotel
for dance at Bartonsville last Friday
night. They reached home again about
6 o'clock Saturday morning, and all sorts
of stories about losing the way, rolling
down 20 foot entertainments, etc., are
afoat.
The Oracle for February was sent out
yesterday, and hereafter an attempt will
be made to issue it the very first Of the
month. Its present board of editors have
gotten out a creditable number and the
hustling manager, Kendall Banning, '9S,
understands the work of pushing the pub

For Better Roads.

In the interests of highway Improvement
the state commission desires to call atten-
ton at this time, to the desirablity of
towns re-electing road commissioners where
such officials have given satisfaction in
their work and proved themselves compe-
tent to ill the positions,
The custom of passing this office around
or OF electing new man each year, is ex-
pensive for the towns and tends to greatly
retard the progress of road Improvement.
A town can i'll afford to lose the experience
which capable commissioner has acquired
Experience should be considered as val
liable an acquisition in road building as in
any other line of work and the sooner the
idea that any man can build roads ceases
to prevail the more rapidly will the high
way system of the state be brought into
proper condition. Thousands of dollars
are annually wasted in Vermont while new
men are experimenting with the roads.
A provision of the law of 1894, allows
towns so desiring to elect road COM
missioner for three years but in order to
take advantage of this provision, it is neces-
sary that a vote to that effect be taken
when the commissioner is elected. This
was not clearly understood, Last year.
1t frequently happens that commits
sioner is unable to undertake an important
piece of work because the money or time
available during a single season will not
suffice to complete it. Were he assured
OF his office for three years this would be-
come possible and he could plan his work
accordingly. If the towns generally took
advantage of this act, it would greatly in
crease the amount Of permanent work on
the highways.

Spontaneous Combustion.

The February number of the Insurance
Monitor, one of the leading insurance
journals of the country, contains very
interesting article entitled "Spontaneous
Combustion of Hay" 1t consists of cor
respondence between L. S. Hayes of this
place and H. N. Taplin of Montpelier,
the former president Of the Vermont Mu-
tual Fire Insurance Co., and comments on
the correspondence. Mr.. Taplin thinks
there is spontaneous combustion, and
accounts for many mysterious burnings of
farm buildings on this supposition; Mr..
Hayes maintains there can be no spontane-
Gus combustion either in hay or straw with
out the aid of some foreign substance.
He says insurance men are about evenly
divided on the subject
Mr.. Hayes gives an interesting expert
ence coming under his observation few
years ago which illustrates in startling
manner how many dangers Of fire exist in
our every day life. In the city of Mont
pelier George H. Guernsey, the we'll known
architect and builder, had only year or
two earlier erected for his own use
modern residence in which he was living
One very cold morning as early as o'clock
Mrs. Guernsey thought she smelled smoke,
but repeated searches failed to show its
origin. At noon Mr.. Guernsey assisted
her and opening the upper drawer under
cooking sink in cold pantry they found
large ball of narrow strips of white cot
ton cloth that had been used to hold the
deep crusts of pumpkin pies. These had
been wound tightly some weeks earlier and
laid aside for use again. When this
drawer. which fitted tightly, was opened
this ball was all a live coal from the centre,
and as soon as air came in when the drawer
was opened it burst into flame filling whole
inside of drawer with fire, which was easily
extinguished. The close fitting drawer
had held combustion in check some hours.
Mr. Guernsey said that had it occurred in
the night and the house destroyed he should
always have been entirely in the dark as to
origin. The greasy nature of the cloths,
with temperature and moisture all uniting
in just the right proportions. had caused
combustion although the temperature in
the room had not been above freezing that
day.

II. d. Ryder in his school report says;
ut will be seen that more than rs per
cent Of our scholars attend the schools at
Bellows Falls, more than 10 per cent at
Saxtons River, and the remainder-a little
less than IA per cent--are in the other
seven schools. The sixteen schools at
Bellows Falls have an average of 46 1-2
pupils, the three at Saxtons River average
81, and the other seven schools average II.
or, stating it another way, the schools out
side Bellows Falls average % pupils each.
1.-The greatest misfortune that has hap
pened to our schools for many year was
the retirement of Miss Mary A. Barry from
IL. assistants place in the high school,
which she had held ever since 1878. Upon
her graduation from the high school in
that year, she was appointed assistant, and
with the exception Of a single term, held
the position till the spring of 1895. Her
faithful, conscientious work in our schools
is we'll known, and, 1 hope, fully appreci-
ated by the citizens of this town, as well
as by the hundreds of her pupils. 1t is no
invidious distinction for me to say that she
was the best teacher we ever had in our
schools.
"Another teacher who has given us long
and successful service and who has been
obliged to leave school, is Miss Addie M.
Zmll, whose departure is cause of great
regret, especially to the people Of the Will
iams River school, where she has labored
so long"

Rubber Footwear
OF ALL KINDS.

Millions of dollars are wasted
annually upon poor, worthless rub

people seem to think cheap, poor
article is more economical to buy

There are more than SO brands of
rubber footwear made. Some makes

weeks while others will last from
one to three years. Why some
people insist on buying the cheap
brands while the kinds that give a
lasting service can be had for but
triffe more is not clear to us.
There are some companies who
can make good sandal, but can't
make a good boot and some that
make a good boot don't make good
sandals or lumberman's goods.

customers as we'll as ourselves.
