ts JvntA Needs More Water and less
Apparatus for Fire Protection.

The city council is considering a
proposition to dispose OF the pres
eut fire horse and cart TO some
neighboring village. and with the
funds thus secured and some more
added purchase a new fire appara-
tus and team OF horses, employ
ing a man tor about $50 per month
TO take care OF it. Ii is proposed
TO utilize the new city official and
the team in cleaning up the streets
when not engaged in the onerous
duty OF extinguishing contiagra-
,ions in various parts OF town.
Adequate FIRE protection is a
public necessity, but it appears to
us to be slightly overdone in La
Iunta. The town is not large
enough to support paid fire de-
par,Inen,, and this fire horse that
has been feeding at the public cnb
for several years past is good

Mary H0we's Narrow Escape.

Mary Howe-Lavin, the world famed
singer, had narrow escape from serious
injury once, but about which in all proba-
bility she knew nothing. A Middlebury
citizen, former residentof Bellows Falls,
youches for the story.
A number of years ago two young men
OF Bellows Falls wished to hear Mary
Howe sing that night, hut not having the
whereof to purchase a ticket, they went
upon the root of the building adjoining
the opera house and managed to get into
the building without detection. The por-
ton that they entered was above the stage,
SO in order to hear the famous singer they
walked through the darkness to the "grid-
iron," which is located over the front of
the stage, Not being content with simply
hearing the singing, one Of the young men
leaned back against what he took to be the
wall so as to see also. The wall proved to
be piece of hanging scenery and immedi-
ately gave away under the unusual strain
and would have precipitated the listener
directly upon her head, had not the other
Immediately grasped his hands and pulled
him out of danger. The distance to where
the singer stood was Is feet so it can be
seen that the fall of person from there
would mean the serious injury to anyone
standing below. The young men, after
this experience, wendell their way rapidly
out Of the building where they had more
room in which to tremble without being
detected by the chattering of their teeth.

Touch In TeIegFaphy.

Roland Belfort, who has been inter
ested in some of our articles on wire

Having worked most of the Atlantic

ease with which an operator recognizes
his distant colleagues by their touch.

There's that confounded x come on =
Immediately X transmitted his first

"Some operators signaling is SO
weak and shadowy that the work Of
deciphering the signals squite doubled.
at is also easy to tell whether an
operator has been in convivial society

Barre BOaSteth.

At the time OF the last census of the towns
of Vermont, Brattleboro ranked next larg-
er than Barre in population, while in wealth
and business Brattleboro was considerable
IL the lead. During the present spring a
number of building lots have been sold at
auction in Barre and several others in Brat
tleboro. They we'e about equally distant
from the business centres OF population
and may be justly compared. The price
brought in Barre was in almost every case
more than double that received in Brattle-
boro. No disrespe't to Brattleboro is in
tended In this comparison, for Brattleboro
is one of the cleanest, most progressive
and in every way lkable towns in New
England, but it shows the rapid strides by
which Barre is advancing in wealth and
