INTERESTING SAILING RACES AT LAKE
wARAMAUG.
On Labor day, at Lake Waramaug,
took place one Of the most interesting
sailing races ever seen on the lake.
There has been considerable rivalry be-
tween the sailing craft all summer and
for the Labor day race four boats were
entered. They were the Haltrater sail
ed by Robert III. Burr, the Catamaran
sailed by M. D. Br yant, the Lark sailed
by David and Fred Breinig and the Eros
sailed by Roland Mygstt. The Course
Of Mr. Breinig's house and sail ar ,und a
stake beat at Arrow Point and back
around stake boat at Meade's. This
course was to be sailed over twice and
finish across the startipg line. The
boats started with the Halfrater In the
lead and the Lark closely following.
The Catamaran got away twenty nine
seconds later and the canoe followed
soon after. On the frat reach it could
be seen that the Halfrater and the canoe
were not in it. The Lark and the Cata-
msran had to fight it out slone. On the
first reach the Catamsran had to 90
about and make tack across the lake
while the Lark Kept her course and so
secured quite lead. On the second
reach the Catsmaran evened the Lark
and the two boats see sawed for first
place until the last reach when the Cata-
maran got fine lead and by fine hand
ling rounded the last stake boatand then
crossed the line 55 seconds ahead of the
Lark. With the 20 seconds that the
Lark had on the start, she was beaten
by one minute and "a seconds. The
Catsmaran has now beaten every boat
on the lake and Mr. Bryant Is 20 be con-
graduated on the mastery manner in
which he handled his boat.

The Union Reform party was organized

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions Of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an infiamed condi-
tiOn Of the mucous lining Of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when It is en-
tirely closed Deafness is the result, and
unless the Inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal con-
dition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out Of ten are caused by ca
tarTh, which is nothing but an infamed
condition Of the mucous surfaces.

cents per pound and sisal is about 8 cents
a pound.
At first thought one would think that
this apparently high price would make
the finished product higher than or 3
cents a pound, but there Is a character
istic in the manufacture OF twine which
Is lacking In the manufacture Of other
articles. The raw material increases in
bulk about 10 per cent while going
through the manufacturing process. This
is caused by the absorption Of the oil
with which II Is dampened as 1t goes
throught the heavy and light breakers
The plant when completed win turn out
annually about 100000 pounds of twine.
The Minnesota plant manufactures about
100000 pounds annually and the capa-
city is to be increased this winter one
third.
The annual consumption Of the farmers
of the State Is estimated to be 25,000,00
pounds About seventy-fVe conviCts will
be employed and one foreman and two
assistants.
It will likely not be necessary to keep
an agent in the East to purchase the raw
material. The warden will receive daily
quotations the same as stock buyers and
grain dealers do, and can purchase by
order as he sees fit.
It is thought that the plant will be
ready for operation sixty days after the
money is available for It's erection.

VivisectiOn, which is dissecting living
animals, is practiced with unnecessary
cruelty in some countries. In the Ger
man charity hospitals children are used
for this purpose, and some Of the physi-
clans give as reason that the poor chill
dren can be obtained without any ex-
pense, but that dogs have to be purchased
and hence that it is less expensive to
cut up children alive than to use dogs for
that purpose.
