Bellows Falls Locals.

ID. M. Thayer saw robin on the Old
Terrace yesterday which, in spite of the
cold weather, was singing quite merrily.
J. E. Stoddard, one of the enterpriSing
farmers of Rockingham knows how to make
very fine maple sugar, or we are no Judge
of this toothsome luxury.
Last week the Fall Mountain Paper COM
pany purchased fine pair of bay horses
weighing over 5000 pounds, and standing

of Bellows Falls, and many others that
will do much credit to their business.
II. d. Ryder has been holding several
teachers examinations recently. One Of
the questions he asks is, "What are some
of the ways in which the government raises
money for paying expenses" A large
percentage of the answers gave the issuing
of bonds as one of the sources of revenue.
These Democratic times are actually chang
ing the popular conception of the basic
principles of our government.

The Sunday morning trains from the
north were from six to ten hours late
owing to heavy fall of snow in Canada.
AS the Montreal sleeper going north was
entering the yard at Shelburne station at
845 in the morning the pilot struck a
heavy snow drift, which derailed the engine
and six cars, only one sleeper and Presi-
dent Smiths private car, containing Col.
and Mrs. E. G. Smith, Mrs. Smiths sister
and G. M. Hayes of the Grand Trunk

School Items of Interest.

The people of Bellows Falls are justly
proud of their common schools, and well
they may be. We have large and increas-
ing schools, an excellent corps Of teachers,
and when the new high school building is
completed will have accommodations unex-
celled by any town Of our size in the state.
That the people of this town take keen
interest in school affairs was evidenced by
the unanimity with which the appropri-
alton for the new high school building was
voted.
The following items contributed by Prof.
F. E. Chaplin will prove of general inter-
est

Bellows Falls times. [volume] (Bellows Falls, Vt.) 1856-1965, 1896-03-25

On the whole the attendance at the high
school during the past year is above that OF
the average New England high school;
the usual dropping ont Of boys to begin
some money-making occupation is just as
evident here as elsewhere. Unless a boy
has strong bent toward college he will
be inclined to drop out during his junior
year in the high school. Many OF the
classes graduated from schools in towns of
about the size of Bellows Falls contain not
over two boys, and often none. The
average of past classes graduated from our
high school is between two and three.
Ought we not to aim to give the boys who
do not intend to enter college something
in the line of typewriting, stenography and
similar subjects of a business nature? The
tendency to criticize our high school course
because it offers SO little of immediate prac-
teal value is being met in many towns by
charging the English course in this way.

An examination of the high school regis
ter shows that large number of pupils
whose attendance is otherwise nearly per-
feet stayed out OF school to attend the fairs
in Brattleboro and Alstead. Another in
teresting item is that in nearly all cases
where a large number Of tardy or absent
marks is credited to a pupil, withdrawal
from school almost invariably follows; the
only exception to this is the case where a
pupil is out for one, two or three weeks at
a time on account of sickness.

THE TROCHA.
What 1t Is and Why 1t Is So
Named.

Since it was reported that Maceo
died through venturing across the
trocha, the Cuban interest has been
concentrated upon that dividing line,
and description of just what the
trocha is will be welcomed by many.
The word should be pronounced
"trotsha," it is said, with the accent
upon the first syllable, and the term
was that originally applied to a foot
path, or short cut In the present
instance, however, it has risen to the
dignity of barrier between enemies,
for in Cuba to-day it commonly
means the dividing highway, strong
ly fortified, first by a barbed wire
fence three and half feet high, then
by the sentinels' posts, of palmetto
leaves; and forty yards further back
by ditch three feet deep and four
feet wide, protected by q rampant of
tree trunks. Forty yards further is
the line of the barracks of the soldi
ers, with never more than half mile
between them. Last of all along the
highway. runs wall of stone and
earth which, considering the burning
heat under which it was constructed,
says the Baltimore Sum- is a noun
ment to Spanish perseverance and en-
durance. This wall is garrisoned by
$4,000 men. That it is a great feat to
cross the trocha becomes evident,
for those who dare by doing so to
enter the enemy's country are shut
off from retreat save by venturing
back again over this well-watched
and strongly guarded barrier.
Throughout its length winding stairs
transform the trees into watch tow
ers, and the troops are cautioned not
to let the enemy pass it at any cost. -

Morton as a Farmer,

In his report as secretary OF agri
cultural, Mr.. Morton states the fol
lowing interesting matter:
1.-THE seed distributed gratuitously
by the government during the fisca
year closing on the 30th of June last
weighed little over $50 tons. The
cost of carrying them through the
mails was over $70,000. They occu,
pied 30 mail cars in transportation.
Careful computation shows that
the seeds sent out by the Department
of Agriculture during the year would
have planted 81, ,03S acres of cabbage
10, 1853 acres of lettuce; 1919 acres .oi
tomatoes, and other garden vegeta
bles in proportionately large areas
Briefly, the seed gratuitously sent
about the country would have plant
ed 115 square miles of garden. In
other words, it would have planted
a strip of ground 1 rod in width
36,S17 miles in length. Such q
strip would reach one and one-halt
times around the globe, and a pass,
enger train going at the rate of sixty
miles an hour would require 81 days,
hours and IA minutes to travel from
one end of this gratuitously seeded
truck patch to the other, 5
each congressional quota contain
ed seed enough to plant more than
1854 acres
"The 10, 1875, 900 packets of vegeta
BILE seed cost the government $75, 900
while the transportation of the mails
added the sum Of $74, $50, making 6
total cost directly to the government
of $149, $40 for the gratuity, paid fol
by money raised from all the people
and bestowed upon few people"

Dinhfheria.

For the past week or two diph-
therie has attacked the family of
Jacob Eek, three children being af-
fected A little son five years old and
the first victim, died on Tuesday
morning last, the other two children
are recovering, with prospects of
saving their lives. The dread disease
has not been allowed to spread, and
has been confined to the Eek house
hold. thanks to the attending physl-
clans and health officer ID. Hancock.
The premises were completely quar-
antined and everything done to keep
the disease from becoming contagious
and at present writing there are no
indications that the disease will
spread. There is no doubt but that
the prompt action Of the attending
physicians and the proper authori-
ties have prevented the disease from
becoming epidemic in our midst.
A strict compliance with the stat
utes bearing upon contagious diseas-
es, as has been in this instance, will
save many precious lives and happy
ohmes from becoming homes of
rgief and desolation.

WHAT FOR?
What Consumer Wants a Tariff
on Wool?

Who wants a tariff on woon Don't
all consume itf How many produce
itf Besides does tariff increase the
price of wooll Statistics fail to show
it. Did it not fall from 2s cents to II
and II cents under the Mckinley bill'
But its i'll or good results is not in
what it may or may not change the
price of wool. Take home. There i
not what one might call wool pro-
ducer In all Henry county. This coun-
ty don't handle sheep for wool. SUI
pose tariff of 10 cents is put upol
wool, and suppose it does increa'r
the price the whole ten cents; nov
give those who have sheep an ave-
rage of Is sheep, yielding four pounGs
each on an average, or $700 to tl-
flock. Now the same tariff will ii'
crease the price of goods in the H.
terest of the manufacturer. You Sci
your wool, you who have wool, ai'd
before you have purchased more than
one suit of clothes your $500 profit is
gone, and your family wants are not
begun to be supplied. Besides not
one cent of this tariff on other goods
goes into the public treasury.
This now is only the side Of it that
relates to those who may have a few
sheep; but what about all who have
none? There are hundred, yes a
thousand who don't have a sheep to
one that does. Why should these be
made to pay more for clothing? 1t is
thus seen, even if tariff did raise the
price of wool, it benefits nobody but
the manufacturer of home goods, and
makes all pay tribute. But that is
not all. For every yard of cloth and
every pound of anything you shut
out, you to that extent destroy the
farmers market. There is not a dol
lars worth of anything imported but
there is q dollars worth from the
shop, factory or farm goes out in ex-
port to pay it.
Under high tariff this foreign mar
ket was closed to farm and shop at
home, hence the condition of the
American farmer to-day. 1t is not
laws to destroy markets nor close
them that we want, but laws that will
open them. James &. Blame was
right, when he said give us a market
for more barrels of pork and bushels
of wheat.
