ANIMAL LIFE.

It Is said that silkworms are very SEN
sitive to the action of light of different
colors, and according to experiments
recently described by Flammarion be-
fore the French academy Of science
silkworms were kept in boxes covered
with glass of different shades. The silk
worms all received the same food, but
they gave different results az 60 the
quantity of silk and eggs.
Maternal instinct was curiously ex-
hibted the other DAY by a cat. Some
of the officials of the Norfolk county
asylum. England, caught young rab-
bit, which they gave to the cat, think
ing that she would kill and eat it. To
their establishment puss did nothing Of
the kind; she adopted it and reared it
with her own offspring. Both the rab-
bit and it's foster mother seemed to be
perfectly happy together.
One white fox in the flesh and in the
fur has been discovered in the Essex
Union country of England. 1t was one
of litter of four reared in Norsey
wood, near Billericay, last spring; and
the hounds got onto it recently when
cub hunting. Owing to the poor scent,
however, this unquestionable rarity,
which was viewed by many of the field,
escaped-for the time being-its pur-
suers. A white fox is real rarity, and
the many superstitions concerning it
render it a curiosity.
Recently captain captured young

seized the sack and with her sharp teeth
tore it open.- She had followed the

THE BARRE evening TELEGRAM
BARRE, VI, DECEMBER IS, 1899
The Changes.

''Peace on earth, good will towards
men," will have more than it's usual
significance at the glad Christmas
time in America this year, for with
it comes the dawn of peace where for
two long years wives, mothers and
sweethearts have spent their days and
nights in anxious prayer for their
loved ones far away.
The first year of the present CEN
fury came in while the distant rumb-
ling of coming struggle was rising
in the air and now we are to see the
last year of it's existence brought into
being Just as the noise of battle dies
away upon the breeze.
How vast have been the changes
during that time. Then few loyal
farmers were just breaking away from
bondage to build a nation for them
selves. They had scarcely begun at
that time that splendid work which
now stands out as the result of their
labors, perhaps the most powerful ma
ton on the face of the earth. That
which short time before the begin
ming of the 10Th century had been an
entirely dependent territory, has now
grown to be parent country of itself
and through force of circumstances
has depending upon it for support and
guidance thriving family of colonies
or territories.
With the increase in prosperity and
extension of territory have been added
a like increase of responsibility. AL
aska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Cuba and
the Philippines must be taken care OF
in some way. President Mckinley in
his recent message recommended that
a government be established in A las
ka, where since the ceSsion of that
territory 30 years ago there has been
no local representation whatever, and
where the department of justice has
been sorely needed. He asks for the
same in Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
These matters, it seems, are ones
which are in more urgent need of at
tention from the present Congress
than any other.
The government of that portion of
the island of the Orient for which the
powers at Washington are responsible
must be a matter for the future con-
sideration after the abatement of the
storm. But when time that comes,
and it has almost arrived, one thing
is certain, the United States has a
responsibility there of no small por
tent. She has duty to perform to the
other nations of the earth and to the
peaceful inhabitants of those eastern
islands who look to America as the
bondsman whose duty it is to assure
peace in the Phil ppnes and to be re-
sponsible for the actions of it's people.

WILL lie. WIN!

The political battle in Burlington
for the representative to the general
court of 1900 will be waged on the
grounds of high license as against a
continuance of the present prohibitory
measure, or, in other words, high H.
cense with towns having the privilege
of declaring for or against a license
system. TO find a man with courage
to stand by his convictions as opposed
to the present prohibltory statute has
caused many of the good people of the
Queen City to cast about for their
timber. Joseph Aald, editor of the
Burlington Daily News, whose views
are not shrouded in a veil of mystery,
has been selected as the choice of the
high license men and the non-prohibi-
tionists. 1t is the privilege of this
paper to first make the announcement.
Mr.. Aud is man of fearless courage.
He has expressed himself many times
and again in vigorous utterance
against the present statute - has
drawn comparisons to show that the
city was ''held back" because it was
living in an age long since passed in
dealing rightly with the liquor traffic.
Mr.. Aud is man of fine presence,
graceful and convincing debater, a
man of calm brain, whose convictions
are never behind him, but always
pushed to the fore. Burlington can
do no better. She could, however, do
worse. Essex Record.

THE RIGHT OF WAY.

Swanton has at last gone to work
in the right way to secure a new depot
if such thing be possible. Repeat
edly has the state board of railroad
commissioners condemned the dilapi-
dated old rookery that now does duty
as station and repeatedly have prom
ises been made that new depot
would be built. Direct appeals from
the citizens of the town to the railroad
officials have produced no results and
patience has ceased to be virtue. -

dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that
is Catarrh. Halls (atarrh Cure is the
only positive cure known 10 the medical
fraternity. Catarrh being a conslitu-
tional disease, requires constitutional
treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken
internally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of the
disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and as.
