popular he is in Colorado. With 10000

The recent manifesto issued by E. o.
Wolcott was given much prominence by
eastern papers, not that they think it
will have much weight in Colorado, for
his position is too well known here, but
in the hope Of leading silver men in the
middle and southern states to believe
that Colorado il not near 30 anxious for
16 to l silver as has been intimated.
Wolcott's manifesto is about as silly all
the way through as the following para

that free coinage will come through the
efforts OF the republican party, and
tho democratic and populist platforms.
except on the money qU estion, are odious
ard hostile to the welfare OF our country,

Yet Mr.. Wolcott would have the people
Of Colorado close one eye and see him as
an advocate Of free coinage. 1t is a
good thing for the state that others see
him different than he sees himself.

COM M uNiCATE ED.

Editor Of Sitter: l was glad to
read your editorial last week relative
to the st, Johnsbury landlord move
ment. 1t was the right word spoken
at the right time. Strike again and
strike hard, Hotel men have no
special lights above those Of other
citizens. There should be no more
tenderness shown them in the matter
of selling liquor than is shown other
men. We are told that hotels can
not live unless allowed to sell. When
a landlord fluids that his success de-
ponds upon the privilege of selling
rum he has discovered that his hotel
is not needed and that the sooner he
closes the better for community.
Like many other occupations the bus
mess of hotel keeping is in many
places overdone, and if few should
retire those remaining would be able
to make a living without violating
law. Surprising that the hotels and
all other places were closed so that
absolutely no liquor could be obtain
ed for beverage purposes, would the
aggregate amount of business done in
the state be reduced ? What lawful
business would be injured or its profits
curtailed ! The hotels might some
of them close. The,drug stores would
make their profits on goods needed
for medical purposes instead of on
unlawful beverages. The low dives
and boot leg arrangements would be
known no more. But how about law
full business. Would the grocerymen
or other merchants suffer from de-
creased demand for the goods which
they might have to sell Would the
carpenters and men of other trades
lose time and money Would the
farmer find shortened market for
his products !? There is, there can be
but one answer to these questions.
All would prosper to a greater de-
gree because that large amount Of
money that once was spent for that
which inebriates and destroys would
now be used to buy groceries, cloth
ing and other necessaries as well as
some of the luxuries of life.

How or. tho Giant, Survived the Flood.

How Or. tho Giant, Survived the Flood.
There are no books in the world that
are equal to the two Talmuds as far as
outlandish stories of fiction and prepos-
ferrous superstition and tradition are
concerned. According to the Talmudic
writers, the early giants, those who
lived before the flood, and who were
giants indeed as compared with the so
called colossal specimens of the human
family which lived inst before the del
uge, were the children of angels and
the daughters of men, concerning whom
there is an account given in Genesis
Og was the hero of the Talmudic ro-
mancers They say that he was over six
miles i'll height, and that he drank
water from the clouds and toasted fish
by holding them near the blazing rays
of the sun. T" Og was contemporary
of Noah and often visited the old gen.
tleman while the latter was engaged in
the famous ark building experiment.
Finally the giant incurred Noah 3
displeasure, and the upshot Of the whole
affair was that when the ark slipped her
moorings after the food had been rag
ing several days the man of great stat
pre- was fatty refused berth. After
the flood was over and the waters had
subsidized Noah is said to have been
greatly chagrined by meeting Og, who
was quietly strolling about as though
nothing had happened He had actually
survived the deluge ESQ the rabbits say
ty wading the water, which only came
to his armpits. st. Louis Republic.

Peasant Farmer of Lancashire.

He may not be an ideal farmer from
the scientific point of view. There is
too much rule of thumb, too great q
want of precision, too close an adher-
ence to old fashioned ways in his farm
ing to please an expert. He has no pre-
tension to the infinite care with which
the French or Swiss peasant will utilize
every scrap of ground. He has many
things to learn, even i'll such simple
matters as breeds of fowls, management
,of orchards and the various kinds of
fruit trees, and outstanding Of manure.
But there is one subject at least in which
he is able to teach all the rest of Eng
things. 1t is, in truth, the little things
on which be depends for an appreciable
part of his livelihood.
He is never above turning sixpence if
he does not see his way to make half a
crown; his wife is not too important to
tie up q dozen penny nosegays and stand
half day OH the street selling them.
Some one may want a few lunches Of
camomile from the lane, and If none Of
the dyspeptic townsfolk are in the hu-
NOR for dandelion tea On that particular
Saturday, why, at worst there is moth
ing lost but the children IS time in dig
ging the bundle Of roots. No type Of
farmer better deserves his success none
holds out Drawer example to his breth-
rem Of the south and the midlands. -

The exhibition mt Tashkent In 1891
jncluded department of the chase, in
which the most distinguished falcon
teams of Turkestan figured prominently.
The khan Of Khiva was an exhibitor
and was represented by his best birds
ard his most skillful falconels Instead
of allotting the prizes, according to the
most usual plan, to the best looking
birds, matches were instituted and the
relative merit of the competing birds
was determined by the test Of what they
could do. l had an opportunity on this
occasion to make thorough study of
the technical details of sport which I
had already practiced under different
circumstances.
Such largo birds as the eagle are
trained for falconry in Turkestan and
arc used. for the capture of foxes, ga
zelles, antelopes, and even, it is said,
deer. They are so heavy that the falcon
er is not able to carry them on his arm
alone and has to support them On a
wooden prop, the base Of which is at
sched to his saddle.
According TO the Arabian traditions,
the training Of the falcon to hunt was
fist accomplished by an inhabitant Of
Mcsul, but the training of the eagle has
been practiced by the Chinese and the
Mongols from an antiquity much more
remote than the Arabian period, and
falconry was probably introduced into
| TurkeStan from the north Of China and
then into Persia, perhaps by some Hun
nish people.
Falconryis SO deeply established in
Turcoman life that people in modest
conditions and even children engage in
it. A favorite winter game of the chill
dren in the streets of Samarkand and
other large cities of central Asia consists
in setting in fight crows which are
held by long strings tied to the hand and
praeticing the exercises Of falconry with
them. Popular Science Monthly.

FRIDAY MORNING, JAN. 3, 1896.


A pneumatic hub bicycle has been In.
vented which the inventor claims will
revolutionize cycle construction. The
invent consists of the insertion Of a
small pneumatic tube In the hub of the
front and rear wheels, SO protected as
to give the lateral rigidity of the ordi-
nary hub and at the same time afford
the residence found in the regular pneu-
matte tire. The object of the invention is
to do away with the question of pune
tured tires, and the inventor claims to
have solved the problem. The rim tire
of the machine is designed with rubber
center and two hollow gauges, SO as to
be practically unpuncturable and yet
give the cushion effect, which, together
with that afforded in greater degree by
the pneumatic tubing at the hub. it is
asserted by the inventor, will equal if
not excel the residence of the best cush-
ion tire.
The hub construction is of small and
light proportion. The machine as con-
structed by the inventor weighs 221a
pounds. The hub tubing is in the form
Of life preserver. 1t is inches in
diameter and constructed of 5-12 inch
rubber. 1t revolves with the wheel and
Is protected by steel thimble from
friction with the axle. 1t is inflated by
means of an ordinary ball joint valve.
Even when the tube is Dictated, how
ever, the machine can be ridden with
out injury, says the inventor, either to
the tube itself or to the metallic parts
surrounding. Chicago Times Herald.

1t seems that away back in the sos
Vermont trains made better time than
they do today. Benjamin Garvin of
Fon du Lac Wis, who has been visit
ing with friends in the East, has been
telling the newspapers some interesting
stories of early railroading and his ex-
periences as an engigeer: "When the
Central Vermont road was opened to
Waterbury, in 1850" said he, eve
made the run from White RiAer, or
rather West Labanon, to that place,
distance of II miles, inside of so min
utes and made two stops. The locomo-
tive was the Ethan Allen, which had a
five foot six inch Wheel In the fall
of 1852 | made the run from Essex
Junction to the Ogdensburg depot. 4S
IL miles, making nine stops, in IS
minutes; and with the same locomotive
another engineer, by the name Of Dan
forth, covered the distance of AZ miles,
in 50 minutes, making nine stops, In
1858 Marvin Brown made the run
between Ogdensburg and Rouse's
Point, 11S miles, in 140 minutes, in
which is il cluded the time consumed
in making four stops, and taking wood
and water twice. | made the run from
Rouse's Point 10 Burlington, making
five stops in 70 minutes, from Essex to
Mortified, A miles, in 90 minutes,
and from White River. Junction to
Mortified, SO miles, in So minutes,
and five stops. Do they beat that re-
cord with the big machines of the pres
cut day? Well | guess not much. :"
